History Fanfic / StraysBlackash26

* AnimalThemeNaming: Each of the Batkids' new hero identities will be named after a different bird. For those that the author decided on, Jason will be known as Bluejay and Stephanie as Sunbird.

* LegacyCharacter: Averted. Each of the Batkids will have his/her own unique superhero identity as a result of being adopted into the family all at once.

* InnocentProdigy: Tim is stated to have a genius IQ but it's made clear that he wouldn't have lasted a minute on Gotham's streets had Jason not found him.

* RecursiveFanfiction: There are currently three of these attached to the story's thread, one that has its own version of the infamous Jason and Joker scenario and the other two crossing over into the comic universes. There is also fanart of Jason in his new superhero identity, Bluejay, with more promised to come depicting the others.

* RecursiveFanfiction: There are currently two of these attached to the story's thread, one that has its own version of the infamous Jason and Joker scenario and the other having the Strays!characters ending up in the canon comic universe. There is also fanart of Jason in his new superhero identity, Bluejay, with more promised to come depicting the others.

** Jason has shades of this too, declaring himself a "good-for-nothing" who only has Tim as the only thing he "has going for him".

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

* SelectiveObliviousness: Bruce keeps telling himself that he'll eventually send Jason and Tim away and that he's in no way attached to them even when he starts forming training exercises in his head watching while watching Jason and he wonders how he can get Tim away from his [[spoiler:JerkAss parents]].

** Jason has shades of this too, declaring that the only thing that he "has going for him" is Tim, and that he's "good-for-nothing."

* ShownTheirWork: The author knows a ''lot'' about psychology and it shows in the comments. Discussions between the fans and the author have speculated on the effects of Tim's [[spoiler: emotional negligence]] on his development, the sibling dynamic between kids and Cass's upcoming speech-therapy.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Or at least spared in the sense that Jason will never have a death to resurrect from in the first place. The author made it adamantly clear in her comments that Jason is going to be happy and alive in her story and that the Joker will in no way ever have a chance to kill him. A fan expanded on this with a future-fic in which Jason gets saved before the deed is done.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jason has a foul mouth, is quick to anger and tries to steal whenever he can but Tim's well-being is always the first thing on his mind and he risked his life to save Dick's the first time they met.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: Played with. While a heaping amount of the original canon angst is cut off as the Robin-sucession 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 help enormously.
* ChildrenRaiseYou: Bruce is still struggling with single-parenthood but he really does need Dick for the metaphorical light he provides. Having Alfred around, however, does help tremendously.

* InnocentProdigy: Tim is stated to have a genius IQ, but it's made clear that he wouldn't have lasted a minute on Gotham's streets had Jason not found him.

* TheWoobie: Anybody would want to hug Tim as soon as his backstory comes into the light.
** Jason has shades of this too, declaring that the only thing that he "has going for him" is Tim, and that he's "good-for-nothing."

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Mr. and Mrs. Drake, of the emotional kind. They've never been around for a majority of Tim's life and fire the hired help at regular intervals so none can get too attached to him. As a result, Tim can't imagine others actually wanting to be around him.]]

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.
