Summary
Tim Drake didn't quite know what he was agreeing to four years ago, but he tried to make the best of it! Using notes from his past (future?) self, he (somewhat messily) tried to help everyone his other self cared for. Now, it's four years later and he can mostly ignore the second set of memories lying in the back of his brain. It'd be much easier if Dick Grayson would just leave him alone. If Tim believed in destiny he might actually think that the universe cared about what was lost.
Dick Grayson has spent the last year feeling like he's veered off course. Something keeps itching at the back of his brain. He's missed some clue. Helena Bertinelli's promised to help him crack down on human trafficking, but Dick thinks her foster kid might actually be more help in that department.

Tim Drake’s Questionable Relationship With Other People’s Wardrobes by ForeverMoreEight
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, DCU, DCU (Comics), Red Robin (Comics), Young Justice (Comics)
19 Apr 2026
Summary
Tim Drake has a habit of wearing other people’s clothes. Hoodies, sweaters, jackets… nothing is safe. It’s never been a problem - until Conner Kent starts noticing.
Five times Tim borrows from his Batfamily (to the chagrin of one particular boy) + the one time Conner finally does something about it, with a few bonus chaotic moments along the way.

Summary
Tim was always holding his breath. Waiting. Filled with anticipation.
He'd spent most of his childhood that way, alone in Drake Manor hoping his parents would come home soon, crouched behind air conditioning units on top of buildings for the bats to fly by, sitting at a school desk watching the clock more sharply than paying attention to a teacher, clipping film to clothesline to dry and hoping he'd gotten a good shot. So Tim had made a game of it. He'd try to hold his breath for as long as he could while completing a task, just to see how far he could get.
It was easy for simple things, like doing dishes or math problems. It was much, much harder for others. But some things? Some things it made exquisite.

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

Summary
The BatFam, as according to me and not DC
Anthology containing:
Being Alone is So Cold (And You Are So Warm)
Tim wants one person on his team to know his name, just for now. Superboy may seem like an unlikely candidate but he trusts Kon. And honestly? More than trust, Tim just doesn't want to feel alone for once in his life.
A Little Secret
Clark meets the new Robin. This Robin smiles with a glacier-like coldness and breathes secret names with an ease that makes Clark freeze.
Blackberry Tea
An Alfred Pennyworth view of his almost-son Bruce and the child who decided to save him.
A Weapon is a Girl
She was nothing.
She was a weapon.
She is Cass.Shadow Girls, Shadow Boys, They Haunt Every Corner
There is a girl lurking in the shadows of Jason's room. When he sleeps, the girl paralyzes him and reminds him of a bird's wings.
There is a boy creeping silently into Jason's spaces. When he is not there, the boy slips in and leaves confusion in his wake.
Tim's School of Passable Normality
After Kon asks a random question about something fairly normal, Tim decides that he should introduce Kon and Bart to some of the most normal, teenager things he knows of. Is it a coping mechanism to deal with the major upheavals in his life? Um, well, maybe, but Kon and Bart deserve normal things! It's just that...Tim is really, really weird and his perception of normal is definitely messed up.
Heavy is the Head That Bears the Cowl
They're on opposite sides of the world, but Dick and Tim are both making bad decisions together. Funny how these things work, isn't it?
Red Atheris
Atheris Hispida:
A species of viper. Previously, the venom of said viper was not thought to be particularly dangerous. This misconception has been corrected in the recent years of study revealing that the venom of this ambush predator can cause severe hemorrhaging of internal organs.The Nest
Tim makes a Nest. Is it a bird's Nest or a snake's? Depends on who you are.
Do You Stay the Same or Change Your Ways?
Bruce returns to a home that isn't whole anymore. Does he stay the same, mission oriented and content with his empty home? Or does he change and become a man who might be a better father, a better human?
Consultation Work
Jason expects the first work he does with Red Robin to be some kind of drugs bust or trafficking take down. It's actually consultation work for the Neon Knights' Project Rebirth.
CODE: Caroline
When a need for an undercover agent surfaces, there's only one Bat for the job. Tim never realized how different his training was until CODE: Caroline put into action.
Doctor, Except for Everything, I Am Perfectly Fine
Alfred and Bruce decide they have to update the kids' medical information. If the others aren't a fan if this, then Tim is even worse. Guess who's missing his spleen?
Sebastian Ives and the Particularly Strange Friend Group
Ives is back in town and calls up his old friends to hang out. Only, Tim wants them all to meet his best friends. Ives should really plan for Tim more often.
Jason and the Spooks
Jason, regrettably, has to team up with Red Robin and Black Bat. Actually, maybe this isn't the worst thing possible. Vegan dark chocolate peanut butter cups are involved.

Summary
Anthology containing:
Fledge
When Jason Todd died, Tim took it upon himself to find a way to save Batman from his dark spiral of violence. Maybe if things had gone differently Tim would have offered himself up to take the Robin mantle and work alongside his hero. Unfortunately, Tim was too busy running his parents' company after the untimely death of his mother. But he knew how to be useful, and other opportunities presented themselves for him to do just that. He felt a little bad about helping to kidnap Damian, but decidedly less bad about helping Steph become a hero. He just hoped that his use wouldn't run out before getting to help his Robin.

The Best Laid Plans of Robins by Aleena_Pallaz
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman: Hush (2019), Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010), Robin (Comics)
30 Jun 2025
Summary
Tim's dad is dead, killed by a boomerang to the chest, and Tim is an orphan now. He knows Bruce would adopt him if needed but he couldn't possibly impose himself on the Wayne's more than he already has. It's okay though, because he has a plan for this, he just needs someone to play the role of his estranged "Uncle Eddie".
Except... the guy he hires is weirdly concerned about his well being and Tim can't figure out why.
Meanwhile, Jason Todd is forced to reevaluate his plans for his debut as Red Hood, because, as it turns out, his replacement is a suicidal idiot who can't be trusted to stay out of trouble.
OR
Tim Drake fails to recognize Jason Todd, back from the dead, and hires him to be his Uncle Eddie to avoid getting adopted by Batman. Somehow this ruins everyone's plans.

Anthology containing:
tiptoes
Tim wakes up in an alternate dimension. One where he's eleven and living on the streets. One where Batman really does work alone, no Robin by his side. One where Dick is eight years old and the Flying Graysons are still flying.
It would all be much easier to deal with if he remembered how he got there.or
Tim: Older Brother Extraordinaire (eventually)
the second chance man
There's a dark haired boy in a hospital bed.

in the palms of my hands
Duke is supposed to write about grief for his poetry class. Tim is missing. That should make it easier. It doesn’t.
This is a companion piece and might not make sense without context.
a mile up ahead
Tim is gone. Jason can't do a damn thing about it.

the day forgives
Bruce has lost too many children.
this is a companion piece and may not make sense without context
among discarded things
The manor feels different without Drake. Damian grieves.

the second father
Sometimes, Bruce doesn’t want to know exactly what kind of life Tim has lived.
this is a companion piece and may not make sense without context.
at home, but far
Death is an end, complete, but Tim does not feel gone. Tim does not feel ended. It feels like he could walk into the room at any moment.
this is a companion piece and may not make sense without context
with the other bent birches
Dick lost the person who would jump when he held out his hands. The person who trusted him to catch without exception, without Dick having to fill any role other than brother.
this is a companion piece and may not make sense without context.
clear blue
Dick should probably say something. He should probably tell Jason that he doesn’t want him to get hurt, either. The words won’t come out. Jason still looks small, vulnerable. Jason still looks like a scream.
This is a companion piece and may not make sense without context
on falling
Steph knows there are only so many reasons they could be calling about Tim. It's been years. She still drives back to the manor.

Summary
Red Robin dies with a bang.
The world isn't quite the same after, despite nothing actually changing on the grand scale of things, and it leaves the Batfamily and Tim's friends reeling, trying to adjust to a world without him in it.
But no Bat ever truly stays dead and Ra's al Ghul could never really resist taking advantage of an opportunity.

Summary
Anthology containing:
Gotcha, Bug
Shutterbug has been a silent informant to the Bats for three years. No one knows why they send valuable information to Batman or why they keep their identity a secret even from other masks, but they've helped foil many Rogue plots and Bruce is working on his control issues, so he lets Shutterbug keep their secrets. This status quo has kept them all safe, until a shadowy conspiracy forces the elusive Shutterbug into the spotlight and leaves the Batfamily rushing to save the city from Ra's al Ghul's latest machination.
Tim Drake helps Batman by surveilling Rogues by night, has study hall with his favorite Robin (Though Jason doesn't know he knows that) and lives in a mansion full of stolen artifacts that will 100% destroy his family if reported to the authorities. It's a delicate balance, to help the world's greatest detective without drawing too much of his attention, but Tim's managed it for three years. When he discovers his own parents are at the heart of a blackmailing and smuggling plot that threatens the entire city, Tim can't stay in the shadows any longer. The only way to save Gotham is for Tim to reach Batman, but doing so means losing everything he knows.
