* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Mr. and Mrs. Drake, of the emotional kind. [[ParentalNeglect 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.]]

* BadassFamily: Oh hells yeah is one in the making.

* BonusMaterial: The author has written three canon side-stories: ''[[http://blackash26.livejournal.com/3519.html Tradition,]]'' ''[[http://storiesintheashes.tumblr.com/post/21136628897/down-for-the-count Down for the Count,]]'' and ''[[http://storiesintheashes.tumblr.com/post/42685582465/strays-side-story-the-nesting-habits-of-robins-and The Nesting Habits of Robins and Other Assorted Birds.]]''

* [[LittleMissSnarker Little Mister Snarker]]: Jason.

* TheNicknamer: Dick refers to Jason as "Jaybird" and Tim as "Babybird". Jason in turn dubs him "Dickface" and "Bigbird".

* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Jason's father is in prison. [[MamaBear Once Jason's mother is sure that her son is safe]], she willingly gives him up for adoption, believing that she can't do anything for him.]]

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Bruce and Alfred.

* {{Tsundere}}: Jason, Type A.

Franchise/{{Batman}} is very happy with the way that Robin has picked up his training, his methods, and his habits. Generally. But his protege showing up at the Batcave with two small children, Tim and Jason, clinging to him proves that he's adopted one trait Batman would rather have he hadn't. It seems the Batfamily has an incurable penchant for picking up strays, and Tim and Jason are only the beginning.

A fill on the WesternAnimation/YoungJustice[=:=] Animated Anonymous Fic Meme written by blackash26, ''[[http://yj-anon-meme.livejournal.com/5333.html?thread=14693589#t14693589 Strays]]'' is a heartwarming, AlternateUniverse story that shows what would it have been like for the Batfamily to grow early on and together, eliminating the angst that naturally accumulated from everyone trying to replace someone else.

* ShoutOut: Dick has Jason and Tim watch ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' with him.

* {{Tsundere}}: Jason, Type A.
* {{WAFF}}: Yes.

* {{Kuudere}}: Bruce and Alfred.

* {{WAFF}}: Oh yes. And it is [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming GLORIOUS.]]

Is in no way related to the webcomic ''{{Strays}}''.

* ShoutOut: Dick has Jason and Tim watch ''LiloAndStitch'' with him.

* AnimalThemeNaming[=/=]AnimalThemedSuperbeing: 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. [[FanNickname Fans are fond of referring to the collective group as the Flock.]] [[SureWhyNot The author approves.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: 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 TimeSkip.

* {{WAFF}}: Oh yes. And it is [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming GLORIOUS.]]
* TheWoobie: Anybody would want to hug Tim as soon as his backstory comes into the light.
** Jason is one too, declaring himself a "good-for-nothing" who has Tim as the only thing he "has going for him".

** Future fics show that Stephanie will be "Ladybird," Cassandra will be "Blackbird" and Damian will be "Littlebird."

* [[spoiler:IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Catherine Todd wants Jason to be happy, even if it means [[ParentalAbandonment she will never see him again and he will think she is dead.]]]]

* MamaBear: Mrs. Soto, a Latino woman who babysat Jason, actually manages to come off as [[StaringDownCthulhu somewhat intimidating to Batman]] when he broaches the subject of Jason to her. [[spoiler:Jason's actual mother has this attitude after snapping after her drug-induced stupor.]]
