what if we could risk
everything we have
and just let our walls cave in?
( in which you manage to have a meet-cute in your apartment building's laundry room with tim drake. )

summary.
Living in Gotham City is always unpredictable.
However, the stakes that you face are not vengeful rogues or trigger-happy clowns, but rather the mystifying case of a cute guy... experimenting with his laundry? And not, like, some Joker type experiment but... a genuine experiment with a rotating list of detergent types. Maybe which one works best? Maybe he just has no idea how to do his laundry? Who knows?
You should leave it alone. You should leave him alone.
Obviously, this does not happen, and you somehow end up friends with Tim Drake.
For you, chronically lonely for the last few years, this is great. Good. Awesome.
For the feelings that grow inside you that are decidedly not platonic?
Not great.
But... nothing is impossible. Especially here in Gotham City.

notice! this story takes place a few years into the future of where the comics currently are. this is very canon divergent and characters that are dead in the main continuity (such as alfred) are alive in this story. my tim and most of the characters are pre-flashpoint (although he is, of course, bi).
content warning! this story contains the usual canon-typical violence.
dedication! anyone who follows and gives this a try <3
notes! what's funny about this is that when i initially got into dc like two years ago (god i can't believe it's been that long) i was deeply into jason and didn't like tim much. of course, i still find him... perplexing and making questionable decisions very often but he is. compelling. in the way that i would like to study him under a microscope. yfm?
in any case, he dominates my brain pretty much all the time so while i'm posting this, i'm writing another reader-insert fic for him. it'll be short like this one is. then i'll move onto a much larger project with an oc and much more... drama.
