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.
The fic is completed.

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.
***
Jason Todd accidentally becomes a parent to the kid who's been stalking him since he came back to Gotham. Somebody's got to make sure this kid gets to be a kid.

Sins of the Father Anthology by MysticMalady, TheBestTinyDragon
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics)
01 Jul 2026
Summary
The last thing Tim was expecting to find ten years in the past was another family.
Anthology containing:
A Family History Rewritten by MysticMalady & TheBestTinyDragon
Given all the things that had happened to him, one would expect Timothy Drake to have become inured to the unexpected. And for the most part, this was the case. However, some things were just so goddamn weird that he had no idea how to deal with them.
Getting blown up in a warehouse and somehow thrown into a different dimension and around twelve years into the past would be one of those things. Everything he had, gone in seconds. But that didn’t mean things were hopeless. In fact, there was a great deal of hope around him, and a great many things to fix.
After all, never let it be said that Tim was one to waste an opportunity.

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.)
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??
(A short drabble expanding on Chapter 4 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home)
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.

Summary
When they accidentally cause trouble for the wrong mob boss, Jack and Janet Drake come up with a completely flawless plan: return to Gotham to retrieve their son, fake the deaths of their entire family, then flee to Belgium. Tim can see a number of issues with this, mainly that (1) it's the stupidest thing he's ever heard, (2) his parents are definitely lying to him about something, and (3) Belgium. With all to play for, it's now up to Tim to create a believable narrative and avoid getting caught by any means necessary - even if that means traumatising the odd vigilante or two. He's willing to do whatever it takes to protect his family.
(But... which family?)

Summary
How dare that pretentious teenager think he could replace him. Fuck him actually, he was a pretender playing dress up. He took a deep breath and moved his finger to the trigger. The rifle had been outfitted with a silencer so Bruce wouldn't even hear the shot that took out his new sidekick.

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.

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.

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
Jason’s rage this time around is a little less focused on Tim for being Robin, and a little more focused on Bruce for letting Tim be Robin. He vows to make Bruce regret ever allowing anyone to put on that mantle in the first place. So if he nabs a few batbrats and makes Bruce think he's torturing them to death? Well, that’s just killing two birds with one stone: Bruce doesn’t get to have a Robin, and he gets to be tormented by the knowledge of his absolute failure to protect any of them. Win-win. (Or lose, if you’re Bruce).
Except now Jason has a small and growing collection of Robins, and no idea what he’s supposed to do with them.
***
a.k.a. the Titans Tower AU where Jason kidnaps Tim instead of trying to kill him. And then he kidnaps Stephanie. And Dick. And Cass. And...
Jason may have a problem.
Less crack-y than it sounds. In fact, this is mainly hurt, angst, & reckoning with canon trauma. Comfort will come eventually! There *will* be a happy ending.
