=== This fanfic provides examples of: ===
* [[Abusive Parents]]: {{spoiler|Mr. and Mrs. Drake, of the emotional kind. [[Parental Neglect|They've never been around for a majority of Tim's life]] and fire the hired help at regular intervals so none could get too attached to him. As a result, Tim can't imagine others actually wanting to be around him.}}
** {{spoiler|Jason's mom is pretty bad too, with her telling him he's a deadweight whenever she's on drugs.}}
* [[Adorably Precocious Child]]: Tim is so adorable you'll either die of [[Cuteness Proximity|his sheer superpowered cuteness]] or [[The Woobie|the tragedy of his existence.]] Jason is [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|a cruder version]] but he also counts.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: A lot of tidbits on the characters are posted on the author's [http://storiesintheashes.tumblr.com/tagged/Headcanon tumblr account].
* [[Animal Theme Naming]]/[[Animal -Themed Superbeing]]: To go with Dick's Robin, each of the other Batkids' new hero identities will be named after a different bird. So far the author has decided on two; Jason will be known as Bluejay and Stephanie as Sunbird. [[Fan Nickname|Fans are fond of referring to the collective group as the Flock.]] [[Sure Why Not|The author approves.]]
* [[Apologizes a Lot]]: Tim apologizes for everything, even for things nobody's sure he's apologizing for. Dick and Jason do not approve.
* [[Badass Family]]: Oh hells yeah is one in the making.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Dick is eager to be one and is shaping up to be a damn good one at that.
* [[Big Fancy House]]: The Wayne Manor aside, the Drake Manor is very, ''very'' fancy. {{spoiler|Too fancy. There is barely any evidence to show that the house was ever lived in, aside from Tim's Superman bedsheets and his collection of Dick-related newspaper clippings.}}
* [[Big Screwed -Up Family]]: Played with. While a heaping amount of the original canon angst is cut off as the Robin-succession issue is...well...no longer an issue, it's clear that there are still plenty of ''other'' issues everyone still has. That said, everyone ''is'' trying to work through them and everyone being together early on is going to help enormously.
* [[Bonus Material]]: The author has written two canon side-stories: ''[http://blackash26.livejournal.com/3519.html Tradition]'' and ''[http://storiesintheashes.tumblr.com/post/21136628897/down-for-the-count Down for the Count]''.
* [[Children Raise You]]: Bruce is still [[Parents As People|struggling with single-parenthood]] but he really does need Dick for the metaphorical light he provides. Having Alfred around however does help tremendously.
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: Jason tends to curse a lot.
* [[Green -Eyed Monster]]: Jason is quick to jealousy whenever Tim pays more attention to Dick.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The author already planned that Damian would come into the story about five years after the canon formation of the Team, figuring that that would give her a lot of leeway as the show's timeline likely wouldn't get that far anytime soon. As it turns out, the second season started out with a five year [[Time Skip]].
* [[Innocent Prodigy]]: Tim is stated to have a genius IQ but it's made clear that due to his naiveté, he wouldn't have lasted a minute on Gotham's streets had Jason not found him.
