Yeah, that fic needed a dubcon warning at least. I have to admit that it didn't squick me, but I also wasn't really thinking about how young Tim is. I got to the part where he sits on Batman's knee and I had an older teen in mind, which actually made the scene a little funny, but I can see why it squicked you.
Well, we generally do tend to picture the Robins as older teens in fic like this, or at least offering some kind of world-weary emotional maturity (easy enough with Dick and Jason) and reading over the fic again, it squicks me less because I'm expecting it. And because I'm expecting it, I can just concentrate on the writing, which is pretty good and mildly hilarious.
But yeah - Tim's only been training with Bruce for about two or three weeks? He starts training as Robin when he's thirteen. So I think this counts as child molestation in context.
p.s - just read a far more disturbing fic (though Tim was older in it) so most things pale in comparison currently.
