  Summary

  Tim Drake created an alter ego named Alvin Draper, took on the mantle of Robin, and enjoyed a few cushy years under the radar. Enter Stephanie Brown; a problem who threatens to expose Tim's cleverly crafted web of lies. Now Tim’s stuck pretending Alvin is his ex, because apparently breaking up with yourself is easier than explaining wigs, fake contacts, and a seriously complicated double life.

  Or

  Tim is great at digging holes and getting stuck in them.
