buy back the secrets is a TimKon fanfic by sundiscus. It's main tropes are romance and identity porn and it follow as 5+1 Things format: in each chapter Superboy saves Tim Drake in a civilian setting and they grow closer without Kon learning that Tim is actually Robin.
Summary
He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.

Reactions and Reviews
Superb TimKon where Kon rescues Tim without knowing Tim is Robin. Technically this is a WIP but I think the 2 current chapters can stand alone and if you slam the subscribe button like I did you get to look forward to 4 more chapters![1]
okay no this one LITERALLY AHSGGSGS bro just read it, uhh civvy tim and superboy interactions, 5+1 things, good sibling Jason (a rarity unfortunately), funny ass dialogue[2]
I hardly ever rec WIPs, but this one is SO GREAT and the two chapters so far are standalone so it’s easy to hop in. Definitely a loose relationship with canon/timelines, but creative and smart and feelsy, good with the classic problem of h/c vs Tim’s independent streak, with generally amazing voices for Tim and Kon.[3]
