Summary: What if Jason had caught Tim photographing him during his nightly Robin sweep of the city? Apparently, he would've accelerated the entrance of Tim into the Bat Family.

Review: Everything Spring is an excellent example of a "what-if" series, with an interesting point of departure. I love this AU, because by its very nature many of the tragedies that are inflicted upon the Bats can never occur. I can barely bear canon as it was during that period, and the chance to prevent the numerous deaths and miscommunications - well, count me in. It's just a pleasant bonus that both of the authors writing in this 'verse have ungodly amounts of talent.

Your mileage may vary for the shorter stories that are mostly PWP - well-written and character-driven PWP, but still. My preferred stories are the longer fics at the beginning of the series, when the characters are still trying to feel out what Tim's eventual position with the Bats will be. ( The authors' best drama and dialogue occurs in these fics, too. How much did I love Tim and Bruce's banter in front of an oblivious housekeeper and a goggling Jason? A whole lot.)

Everything Spring: since the fics are split between journals, here's the list in order.
