Bonding in Another Universe by Spiralling_Tyra
Fandoms: DCU (Comics), Young Justice (Cartoon), Young Justice (Comics)
23 Oct 2026
Summary
“Is that… us?” someone from behind Tim asked, who he belatedly realized was Wonder Girl. “Who's the blonde arrow? What’re they even doing?”
Every sound slowly faded into the background as Tim locked eyes with his reflection, taking a cautious step forward and reaching a hand out to connect with his reflection. Too busy in some sort of trance he didn’t hear his team yelling to stop. His hand connected with his reflection and suddenly everyone in the cave was hit with overwhelming pain, causing everyone to lose consciousness.

What happens when you put the core four + Cissie + Jaime in a cave that connects to a parallel world?
The answer is a "sneaky" team trying to quietly return home. (of course it doesn't end up that way)- Part 1 of Universes colliding

When In Paris by Mauve_Muse
Fandoms: DCU, DCU (Comics), Young Justice (Comics), Young Justice - All Media Types
17 Oct 2026
Summary
Here’s the thing, Kon was objectively the correct choice. His Kryptonian DNA and lab-grown origin meant that he could speak every language fluently (including French), he was definitely available — since he did very little outside of Young Justice business — and with a little coaching he’d probably fit right in with all those art nerds.
Subjectively, though, Kon posed an issue.
Tim was majorly in love with him.
OR
An uptick in art crime leads Tim and Kon on a mission to Paris. Things get complicated when the mission begins feeling like a romantic getaway.

The Assassination of President Luthor by the Radical Lonnie Machin by NiteWrighter
Fandoms: DCU (Comics), Justice League - All Media Types, Superman - All Media Types
24 Sep 2026
Summary
"Hi. I’m Lonnie. So I guess I should start out by saying, I don’t believe violence is a sustainable tool. It’s not. It’s a reflection of our ugliest, most base instincts. But it is the current language of the state, so I apologize for bringing my voice to the conversation."
President Luthor has been brutally killed by a magical weapon, and Anarky has claimed responsibility. The Justice League is struggling with the ensuing fallout, instability, suspicion, and speculation, while a power vacuum opens up in the world of the Rogues. What does a world without Lex Luthor look like? Is he truly gone? Has a greater chain reaction been kicked off by this single death?

(affectionate) Anthology by Cat91
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), Superman (Comics), DCU (Comics)
06 Sep 2026
Summary
Anthology containing:
Meta human (affectionate)
Tim has a crush on Conner.
Conner has a crush on Tim.
Do either of them realise this? No.
Then Jason uncovers a plot to take down the Supers, and needs to stop it from happening.
He doesn't know how though, the batfam doesn't know that he's alive.
Maybe his replacement can help...
-
Otherwise known as, My friend and I were talking about Tim calling Kon a meta human affectionately and Bruce saying it as derogatory and now we're here. I actually have a full plot for this story so we'll see where we end up.
Bonus Scenes (affectionate)
Bonus scenes for any works in the (affectionate) series. Will make no sense without the context of the rest of the series.
NSFW (affectionate)
I wrote the original piece for someone who does not read smut, and while I hold no judgement for anyone who doesn't like reading it, I like writing it. This is set in the (affectionate) verse, but can be read as a stand alone.

Summary
Jason jacked a tire and got caught, but in this universe, not when Bruce is Batman. This leads to different things, one of which is that he is not Robin and does not know that Bruce is Batman. It also leads to the same thing, like he's still Bruce's son.
Or: Jason joins the Batfamily, but he doesn't even know it's a Batfamily, and has a chance to grow up, with all the curveballs thrown at him.
The fic is completed.

No. 1 Party Anthem Anthology by Mauve_Muse
Fandoms: DCU, DCU (Comics), Young Justice (Comics), Young Justice - All Media Types
20 Aug 2026
Summary
A slowburn friends-to-lovers timkon fic broken into two parts: getting together, and established relationship.
Anthology containing:
the look of love, the rush of blood
Kon’s heart felt like it was going to flutter out of his chest. To almost everyone else in the world, he was Robin — an enigma with very little known information. Batman’s sidekick and Young Justice’s leader.
But to Kon… he was Tim. And he was bisexual. And he’d been drunk.
It was like there was a side of Tim that Kon got all to himself. He promised Tim that he wouldn’t tell the rest of the team his name or his sexuality but it’s not like Kon really needed the encouragement. Selfishly, he liked being the only one who knew. Selfishly, he wanted to keep it that way.
before the moment's gone
Kon had never been hornier.
He totally understood why Tim wanted to take things slow. He fully respected letting their relationship take its time. He, honestly, was grateful for the change — it made things actually feel different from his past dumpster fire relationships.
So yeah, he totally got it.
What he didn’t quite get was why the hell Tim was so seemingly intent on getting him as turned on as humanly possible at every turn only to not really do anything about it.

Domestic Life Was Never Quite My Style by Wrenythinggoes
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics)
20 Aug 2026
Summary
“Say,” Jason says, “how old are you anyway, shrimp?”
“Ten,” Tim says, but he looks away right after.
“Ten?”
“Okay…” Tim admits. “I'm still nine. But I'll be ten in July!”
“That's six months away. You're nine.”
“...and a half,” Tim mutters.
Jason snorts. Then he sits down on the sofa next to Tim. “Here's what's going to happen here,” he says. “I'm going to get you an Uber and I'm going to track it and make sure you get back to Bristol.”
Jason would prefer to take Tim home himself, but that puts him too close to Bruce and the others.
“You don't know where I live!” Tim protests.
Jason resists the urge to roll his eyes and says, “Tim. There is literally a house called Drake Manor next door to Wayne Manor. You have a Bristol accent. We met at a gala.”
“Oh. Right.”
Jason rubs his temples. Kids are a nightmare. Glad he's getting rid of this one.

Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU, DCU (Comics), Young Justice (Comics)
18 Jun 2026
Summary
“What’s an AP?”
Tim stared. “Advanced Placement.”
“Is that—” a genuine pause, the pause of someone actually thinking rather than filling time— “...something you want? To be in them? Like, did you choose that?”

Or,
Tim begins tutoring a cute punk in Biology.
Conner begins receiving tutoring from a cute nerd.

An IOU (and Other Things That Aren't Owed) by Asidian
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics), Red Robin (Comics)
09 Jun 2026
Summary
"Alright, asshole," says Jason and plunks a folder down directly on the keyboard of Tim's laptop. "I'm calling in that IOU."
Tim doesn't startle, not visibly. But all at once there's a batarang in his hand, the blade gleaming sharp. It takes him a second to register who the intruder actually is before he gives Jason a lingering, suspicious sidelong glance and tucks it away again.
"What IOU?" says Tim. "And how'd you get in here?"
He looks like shit, frankly. There are dark smudges under his eyes, and he's lost weight since Jason's seen him last. From the coffee cups scattered around the desk, it's probably even odds that he's on at least 24 hours without sleep.
"I work in mysterious ways," declares Jason. "By which I mean your window's open. You get kind of careless when you haven't slept, Timbo."

Settle Our Bones Anthology by motleyfam, justbeyondstars, batmoniker, JBS_Forever
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics), Super Sons (Comics)
06 Jun 2026
Summary
A series where Jason never dies, but the Waynes’ weird neighbor kid gets strung along for the ride all the same.
(Alternatively: that one series where Tim Drake gradually develops a file at Gotham General as thick as a phonebook because he's quite possibly the Unluckiest Boy in the World.)
Anthology containing:
5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home by motleyfam
Tim is good at galas.
No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.
---
Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers—most of which are unplanned.
Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.
Gala-Bye by motleyfam
Jason Todd hates galas.
Bruce Wayne loves his ridiculous son.
Mess of Me by motleyfam
Jack takes him trick-or-treating.
Tim is dressed in a simple black bodysuit with a white skeleton printed on top. He’d wanted to go as a stormtrooper—it’s all he’s been talking about at school for weeks, ever since he first saw the films—but his parents didn’t get the chance to pick up a costume until late that afternoon, and the options at Halloween City at four p.m. on October 31st are a bit sparse.
(It was this or a gigantic carrot, and even at seven years old, Tim has some dignity to maintain.)
---
Poor Timmy isn't having the best of Halloweens.
Shoot from the Hip by motleyfam
Objectively, this time isn’t even that bad. The bullet really only grazed his side. The mark it left is long and gnarly-looking, and he’s sure it’s going to bruise like a bitch tomorrow, but the actual damage to his flesh is pretty superficial. A saline wash, a quick row of stitches, a sterile dressing, and a couple painkillers, and he should be good to go.
…Which is why Dick neglects to mention this extremely minor injury during his usual post-patrol check-in with Agent A.
By Necessity by motleyfam
An alternative ending to chapter 4 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.
(AKA, the part where there’s an ice storm and a massive tree limb takes out the Drakes’ living room window.)
Kansaws by motleyfam
Tim blinks.
Batman has a buddy with a chainsaw??

Man of the House by motleyfam
Yet another alternative ending to chapter 4 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.
(AKA, the part where there’s an ice storm and a massive tree limb takes out the Drakes’ living room window.)
Is All Anger Sin? by motleyfam
Now, Jason likes Tim, don’t get him wrong, but that kid’s got the self-preservation instincts of a wet paper towel. And not even the premium paper towels Alfred buys at Costco—that cheap shit you get at the Dollar Tree. The kid’s basically allergic to asking for help, and it’s fucking sad, okay?
Case in point, the fact that he’s currently bleeding all over the damn floor and still insisting that they don’t bother Bruce.
Well fuck that shit.
---
An added scene expanding on chapter 5 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.Reverse Psychology by motleyfam
Jason leans back, crossing his arms over his chest. “Well, what if we don’t want you to clean up?”
Tim just blinks at him.
(An alternative ending to one of the scenes in chapter 5 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.)
First Watch by motleyfam
“I have a pretty bad headache, so I think I just want to go to bed.”
Like any good excuse, Tim’s claim is simple, succinct, and rooted in a half-truth; his head does hurt, though he wouldn’t really call it ‘bad’—it’s hurting about the normal amount for someone who’s spent the last eight hours as a tightly coiled ball of anxiety. It should have worked perfectly.
Unfortunately for Tim, he just forgot one small fact: that the Waynes are literally the most dramatic people on the planet.
---
An added scene expanding on chapter 5 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.Where Blame is Due by batmoniker & motleyfam
Jason rides in the ambulance with Tim.
He doesn’t think he’s allowed to, technically, since he isn’t family and both of them are minors, but he’s not about to take no for an answer. Luckily, or perhaps frighteningly, the paramedics are too busy to argue with him. They’re barking orders back and forth to each other, rattling off vitals, running IV and oxygen lines, applying cooling blankets. Tim’s temperature is over 105 degrees and his blood pressure is dangerously low. They’re worried about seizures.
They’re also worried about organ failure.
–--
The immediate aftermath of Jason finding Tim in the final chapter of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home, told from three different points of view.
A Jumbo Miscalculation by justbeyondstars & motleyfam
Suddenly a new voice, gruffer, deeper, says, “What are you doing?” and Tim goes cold all over. That’s Bruce. That’s Bruce speaking a full sentence for the first time today and of course it’s when Tim is hurling his guts out in the bathroom and didn’t want him to know about it.
Shit.
“Picking the lock,” Jason says, like it’s obvious. “Didn’t think you’d appreciate me breaking the door down. I can, if you want. I am absolutely fine with that option actually.”
–--
Bruce is in a bad mood after a case doesn’t go entirely to plan, and Tim is determined not to do anything to make it worse.
(Unfortunately, his shrimp allergy didn’t get that memo.)DANton-ten-six by motleyfam
Ten weeks into Tim’s new foster placement with the Waynes, he wakes up feeling kind of lousy.
His stomach started hurting sometime after dinner the night before, which he initially chalked up to the heaviness of Alfred’s chicken fettuccine; that man does not skimp on the heavy cream. It’s why he only ever makes it when Dick—the family’s resident lactose intolerant dumbass, as Jason so lovingly puts it—is confirmed to be staying in Bludhaven for the evening.
(Not that it ever works. Dick’s been known to sniff out leftovers from the fridge days later like a bloodhound, consequences to his delicate digestive system be damned.)
Anyway...
---
Or, in which Tim gets Sick™, but actually reaches out for help for once, and in return his new family comes in clutch.

The red marks we leave around town by dontcallmeliz
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics)
03 Jun 2026
Summary
It’s Friday and Tim’s taking part in his nightly and favorite hobby, bat and bird watching. He’s far enough to not be spotted, but close enough for them to hear his potential alarmed screams. It always reassures him to know they’re near enough to rescue him, faster than if they notice days later, or more. But they’re detectives, of course they’ll notice and save him quickly.
...Right ?Tim never became Robin. He never had the chance to.

The ghosts we don't grieve by BronzeLining
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU, DCU (Comics), Red Robin (Comics)
09 May 2026
Summary
Your world is gone. Your life is forfeit. Those are two things I cannot change, the voice warned him gently. I can give you another version of your family. But I must tell you, this world and the people you will see won't be the same. A silent death may be better than this fate.
Once, Tim had dreamt of silent death. Once, Tim had yearned for unearned peace.
Tim didn’t speak, and still the voice sighed. I see. I will choose a good world for you. You will fall in love with it. It will break your heart. It spoke with certainty that rang with great weight. Do you still want it?
Tim thought of family. Of loneliness. Of all that lay in between.
Forcibly, painfully, Tim parted his lips. Breath rattled free, and he croaked out, “Yes.”
Oh, child, it mourned, and then a hand pressed against his chest and a scream ripped free from his body. Like the howling of a beast.
***
Tim's family, planet, and universe are destroyed in a matter of years. He dies, too, in the end, but is given a second chance at existence in a different world. A world where Damian is the first Robin and everything is backwards.
He takes it.

As Conner approached, he heard:
“—no, I’m not crying, the wind is crying. Stop asking.”
“Do you need medical attention?”
“I need a smoothie, my motorcycle man, and to never think a thought again.”
“Motorcycle man?”
Tim scoffed. “My man who drives a motorcycle. Are you guys stupid?”
The athletes backed away slowly.
Conner had to physically bite his lip to keep from laughing.
