We Have Seen the Enemy by aurielette
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU, Red Robin (Comics), Superboy (Comics), Young Justice - All Media Types
19 Oct 2026
Summary
They’d heard about each other. Of course they had. It would have been hard to avoid, with how small the competitive hockey world was. They were often thought to be one in the same. Two sides of the same coin. They were equals; natural-born enemies. Tim hated every second of it.
Not the “best in the world” part — he would never get tired of that. Rather, the countless comparisons painted between him and Conner fucking Kent.
Or,
Tim and Kon are both professional hockey players in a world that wants to do nothing but isolate them from each other. They try to find themselves, somewhere in the midst of dozens of games, press interviews, and this stupid athletic feud that just won't let up.Shelves: DC Comics

Summary
Jason Todd is really good at his job. He's not so good at... well... being good.
Instead of surviving on the streets, Jason finds himself trafficked to Two-Face's gang, where his small size and breaking and entering skills keep him valuable. Three years later, with all his escape attempts frustrated and his future looking bleak, Jason is hand-picked for a suicide mission into Cadmus. Jason could maybe figure out a way out if it were just him. Maybe. But now Batman is shot and cuffed in his cell, and things just got much more complicated.
TLDR: Jason Todd is a twelve-year-old criminal genius, which leads to him getting adopted last of the Wayne brood.

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.

Summary
Jason Todd goes to Titan's Tower to send a message. He won’t kill Robin there, no—that wouldn’t be poetic enough. Instead, he’ll torture the cuckoo to death and dump his body in the Nevada desert, never to be found—ensuring he has enough fingers and toes to mail Bruce for the next twenty years.
Only when the time comes, Jason…can’t do it.
Now he’s stranded 3,000 miles from Gotham with nothing but a smart-mouthed Robin, a beat-up pickup truck, and a dream.
You know what they say: take me home, country roads.
Or,
Jason goes to Titans Tower to attack Tim. Instead, the two road-trip across the country from San Francisco back to Gotham. Featuring greasy diner food, shitty motels, talks about trauma in the bed of a pickup truck, and as many metaphors about roads as I can possibly cram in here. And stars, for some reason.
OR OR,
Jason drives forever and ends up exactly where he started.

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."

Summary
The Bats were dead and Dick was the only one left alive. He had nothing left for him so why shouldn’t he join them?
Waking up back in time was not the plan but Dick wasn’t complaining. He finally has his family back and he will not lose them again.
Robin has always been able to do what Batman couldn’t. It was okay that Bruce won’t kill. Dick wouldn’t ask him to compromise his morals.
But he had no such restrictions. He doesn’t mind killing, getting his hands dirty, and being a monster if it means his family is alive.
.
Or a Dark Dick Grayson who is just a tad overprotective of his family. Just a tad.

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.)

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.

Summary
Jason clicked the pen, and started to write on the envelope.
Dear Mr., “Gotham’s foster care is safe.”,
Thank you so much for dropping me off at Ma’s personal soldier camp.
I had a great time, truly a ten out of ten experience.
I loved the part where I got shot in the arm. A real highlight of my week.Thank you for your genius-level, billionaire insight. You really nailed it. Incredible stuff. You could teach a class on how out of touch you rich twats are.
Since you were so kind to drop me off somewhere so safe and warm. I thought you might enjoy these documents.

AKA: Jason Todd gets permanently trapped in his twelve-year-old body after Bruce dropped him at Ma Gunns's School for Boys. This time, he isn't going to Batman for help; he will take on Crime Alley by himself.
It's not like Bruce actually cares about him.

Summary
“Roy didn’t know a whole lot of things about the world, but he knew that people left. They came around for days, weeks, months, even years, and they brought glimpses of lives that could never have been Roy’s, and then they packed it all up and left.
It wasn’t a bad thing, necessarily; it just was.
Roy’s problem was that he was a fool. If Dick were there, he’d find a nicer way to word it – idealist, romantic, some bullshit like that – but really, Roy was foolish. He knew the rules, he knew how things were going to end, and he let himself hope every damn time.
Brave Bow used to say, “Hope’s the kind of thing that’ll get a Navajo kid in trouble.” Roy might not have been bound to the tribe by blood, but the tribal band on his arm sure as hell wasn’t for nothing.”
Or;
The Outlaws, retold.

BUT WHO CAN GROW ME A NEW BROTHER? by solistrix
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, DCU, DCU (Comics), Nightwing (Comics)
30 Dec 2025
Summary
There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays that whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.
Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.

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.

House Of Infinity by Midnight_Neptune
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Marvel Cinematic Universe
22 Sep 2025
Summary
The Batfamily was never meant to be ordinary.
Not anymore.When six Infinity Stones grew tired of being wielded by the greedy, the power-hungry, the gods who played at justice and war—they chose differently. They chose mortals born in blood, raised in shadows, shaped by grief.
They chose the Batfamily.
Now, whispers of impossible strength echo from Gotham. Time moves strangely. The air crackles. Ghosts walk. And those who once wore masks now carry something far heavier.
Because the storm is coming.
And this time, the world’s last defense isn’t the League.It’s them.

The Cassandra Metaphor by writersagainstwritersblock
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Justice League - All Media Types, Nightwing (Comics), Teen Titans - All Media Types
16 Sep 2025
Summary
Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.
She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.
“Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.
“You long to go back.”
“Yes.”
“For a different outcome.”
Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”
“I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”
Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

Summary
"I’m not scared of you,” Jason snarled, scrubbing his nonstick pan ferociously, "I've already been working cases with you fuckers for months.”
Dick scoffed, "You talk a big game, but I'd bet money that you couldn't last a week in civvies with us.”
"Yeah? How much?"
“Five hundred thousand buckaroos.”
With those words, an idea sparked to life. Jason had a lot of problems, but a load of bat-money could solve the most pressing of them. “Are you fucking with me?” Jason turned to glance at Dick over his shoulder.
“I’m being so serious right now.”
Against his better judgement, Jason shook Dick’s proffered hand firmly. "You’re on, Dickface.”
OR: Jason, desperately in need of some cash, has no choice but accept Dick's foolhardy bet. If he can spend a week in the manor, attending every family dinner, without getting kicked out, he wins. Secretly, Dick is hoping that Jason can learn to fit back into their little family in the process.
