As part of the Twelve Days of Christmas Challenge over on heartbart, scheherezhad did pod-casts of six fics for the sixth day. Mine is the fifth one down here. Thank you, sche, and Merry Christmas!

IC7 AU. Kon almost died. Almost.

( Kon had almost died. And that ‘almost’ had been way too close to ‘definitely’ for Tim’s peace of mind. )

Tim’s got more friends than he ever thought he’d have. But Kon is something more, and when he leaves, Tim becomes determined to get him back.

( Tim had a lot of friends. More than he’d ever thought possible when he was growing up. )

Tim’s finally realized he and Cassie aren’t good for each other. But being alone isn’t going to do him any good, either. After discarding all of the girls he knows, it turns out that a girl he hasn’t yet met is the one he needs.

( Tim Drake had finally realized what he needed in his life. )

Tim and Gar join the Mile High Club, and Tim learns some things about Gar’s powers that make the whole experience a plus.

( “Y’know, Tim, if you wanted to join the mile high club that badly, I could have just shifted.” )

Another boring WayneTech party causes Tim to take dive into the champagne. When Kon comes to ‘rescue’ him, he’s slightly drunk, and decides to dive into his rescuer.

( Kon’s hand grasped his elbow, and it was only then that Tim realized he’d been listing to the side. “You are so totally drunk, aren’t you, Rob?” Kon’s voice was caught between amusement and shock. )

Kon has a secret. It involves Tim. And…a stuffed toy?

( Kon was in the Wal-Mart in Smallville - a town so small they only had the one - fighting boredom as he waited for Aunt Martha to finish her shopping, and happened upon the toy aisle, where he’d found it. )

Kon doesn’t need help with his homework.

( “You chose this as the poem that you wanted to write about for your English class?” )

Tim’s in love, and all’s right with the world.

( Tim Drake was awash in the most pleasurable of sensations. )

Tim knows the reasons why he loves Roy.

( For once, waiting for the right time actually paid off. )
