Summary
“Batman was getting dangerously close to crossing a line that Tim had been so sure he would never cross.
“It became obvious to Tim that Batman needed a Robin. He was this close to tracking down Dick just to get him to take back the role. It would have exposed that Tim knew the truth, but it would have been worth it. And if Dick wouldn't do it, if it really came down to it? He’d throw on tights if he had to, drag Batman back to the light himself.
“Batman needed a Robin. And maybe that's why Tim was so relieved when Spoiler, a young vigilante clad in purple, showed up out of the blue and refused to leave Batman alone.”
Or,
Seventeen year old Tim Drake, CEO and stalker extraordinaire, has known the truth about the Bats ever since he was a kid. But he never put on the Robin suit.
Following a gala and breakout at Arkham, Tim reluctantly finds himself drawn into the Batfamily’s orbit. And although no secret stays buried forever, nobody could have predicted the disaster to come.
Or,
A Tim joins the batfamily late au!

Mando Bat by Scififan33
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU, Star Wars - All Media Types
25 Jul 2026
Summary
The Joker took Robin, wanting a son. For a week he tortured the boy before the bats came but by the time they reached the Joker all that was left of Robin was a pool of blood.
Korda Six was meant to be a relatively easy job, till they found an ad bleeding out and alone. And with the pause, the scouts reported that their intel was incomplete. Who was this child and how had they ended up alone and dying?
Mandalorians were known to adopt any child who held still long enough. Tim was definitely holding still given he was in a bacta tank.

21 Jul 2026
Summary
"Just do this for me, just try it.” His next words hurt Bruce even worse. “Please, Dad.”
Looking at his hands, useless against this onslaught, he nodded slowly. “Alright.”
Dick released his breath that Bruce didn’t know he was holding. “Thank you.” He stood to his full height and sniffled once, “And can you please eat something?”

Arizona Sky by froggyworld
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU, Red Hood and the Outlaws (Comics), Teen Titans - All Media Types
16 Jan 2026
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.

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.

“Yes Jaylad. I think you're right. Try to keep an eye on him.”

Summary
A clown, a criminal, and a stalker child get stuck in a bar.
It sounds like the start of a bad joke. But that's not true. It's a terrible joke and the punchline is still coming.
OR
Tim Drake gets a weird uncle and crazy aunt, but that's cool with him. He's heard it's healthy for kids to get out of the house, and if it means he can hang out with Harley and Uncle Nygma, he's happy to do so when he needs a break from photographing Bats.
Meanwhile, as some of the (less) insane members of the rogue gallery, Harley and Eddie realize it's up to them to make sure little Tim doesn't get kidnapped, murdered, or exploited by their peers while he runs around Crime Alley with his camera.
Somehow, this is harder than running crime rings and evading the Bats.

The Ones Burnt by This_is_lovin
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, Spider-Man (Tom Holland Movies), Spider-Man - All Media Types
18 Apr 2024
Summary
“Thank you, sir.” Peter turned facing M.J. and Ned’s silhouettes that wobbled against the rising sun.
“Call me Stephen,” Doctor Strange said.
Peter smiled, “Thank you, Stephen.” The name felt odd coming out of his mouth.
The laugh was slight, barely even one. “Still feels weird.” Stephen smiled; it was small and didn’t cause the edges of his eyes to crease.
“I’ll see you around.”
The Magician stared at him, eyes mourning something already lost. “Good luck kid.”

Summary
Jason died.
Give me a friend, Tim thought with all the firmness he could muster. Something twisted in his gut, and a weird tingling came from his fingers, the kind he got when his arm fell asleep.
All of a sudden, he was exhausted. What? Tim scowled at the feeling, forcing himself to sit up. It took him a moment to realize, but someone was standing in front of him. The edges of him - it was a boy, practically a grown-up - flickered for a moment, like static on a TV, before turning normal again.
He was dressed in bright colors, red and green and yellow like a traffic light - like Robin. The costume was torn right over where the ‘R’ was supposed to be, and it was kind of bloody - really bloody.
Gotham is a city of tragedies, wrapped up in enough grief that while Tim knows that Robin has died, he doesn't connect that to his new imaginary friend. There's no reason to; Tim is a normal boy, by Gotham's standards.
It turns out Gotham's standards are fairly abnormal.

The Mafia Files (expansion pack) Anthology by quotidian_void, TristiCorde, RumoredToBeCygnus, Just_Vibing_and_Thriving
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Robin (Comics), Nightwing (Comics), Batman (Comics)
08 Nov 2023
Summary
A collection of ideas that are way too long and a tiny bit unrelated to be in the outtakes.
Most of them are Tim cuz... I say so.
Anthology containing:
My School’s Local Mafia Boss
I think the title really explains it all? But anyway:
Jason knew that attending a rich ass school was going to be the toughest and most mind-grating thing ever. His beliefs were confirmed when he got cornered by bullies on his first day. The only thing he was surprised about was that it took them so long to find the school's new street rat. Just as he's about to be punched, a fucking 10 year old (he's actually 12) steps in and... starts threatening the bullies? And they actually listen?? What the fuck???
And that isn't the only surprise that's waiting for him.
Dude, You’re Burning Hotter Than Hell
It's been a few months since Tim and Jason's first meeting at Gotham Academy. The day's going pretty normal until Jason finds out that Tim is hiding a fever. Cue sickfic.

Summary
Anthology containing:
Untrimmable Lights
His curiosity might easily have been satisfied by a couple late-night birdwatching expeditions: you can only ride the high of discovering Batman's secret identity for so long. But instead Tim meets a mysterious homeless girl whose many particular skills do not include speech, and things spiral out from there pretty rapidly.
(featuring: aggressive mutual caretaking, the minutiae of communicating with someone who does not understand language, the minutiae of living in Gotham, some cameos, and two feral children doing their fumbling best to be good examples for each other)Shelves: DC Comics

Little Red and the Big Bad Hood by CrzyFun
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)
06 Apr 2023
Summary
Olivia Draper had been a good idea at first. She could pass for older than Tim could pull off while masculine and women really could get into places easier if they had a pretty face. With makeup and some stylish-yet-inexpensive clothes, Olivia could pull off most undercover ops. She was Tim’s Matches Malone.
Then Hood had shown up on the scene.
-----------------------------------
When Jason met Olivia, he hadn't intended to pull a Bruce and take the scrappy teen informant under his wing. She just kept showing up where he was doing business. He had no other choice than to keep an eye on her. And kit her out with armor so she wouldn't accidentally get shot. And make sure she was being treated fairly by her mysterious boss.And, okay, maybe become her big brother.

Summary
Timothy Drake received a mysterious box on his birthday, which turns out to be a message from the future!
Except, there's something weird.
Tim knows Bruce is trying to test him again, and he's getting sick of the constant tests with no regard to his mental or physical well-being.
But hey.
Maybe showing Bruce the absolute worst case scenario from his messing around could scare the man straight.
Or
AU where Tim goes Nuclear during the "you betray the future and everyone dies" mindfuck Bruce tried.
