1 – 2 of 2 Works in Morally Ambiguous Tim Drake
Summary
Anthology containing:
Tournée du Chat Noir
Red Hood, the sometimes-criminal, sometimes-anti-hero, meets a cat burglar with an opaque past and a flexible moral code. Jason Todd, the TA, meets an over-caffeinated, half-feral underclassman. These events are definitely not related, right?
Wayne Family Dinners Don't Usually Involve This Much Blood And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves
“Okay, alright, nobody panic,” Dick said, clearly panicking.
“No one is panicking Dickhead,” Jay snarled, also panicking (though, significantly less than Dick, it seemed).
“Uh, guys?” Tim tried to butt in.
“Yeah, of course, everything’s fine! Tim, are you fine?” Dick’s voice was reedy.
“I—”
“No, he’s not fine, the demon brat put a fucking hole in him!”
Or: Jason and Tim have been dating for a few months now, and it's time to introduce him to the family! What could possibly go wrong?
NOTE: This is intended as an epilogue to Tournée du Chat Noir, but it can be read as a standalone.
Damian and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Contrary to popular belief, Damian Wayne was capable of admitting when he was wrong. It’s just that it happens to him so infrequently, it doesn’t seem to come up all that often—and he is not wrong about Timothy Jackson Drake. Something was just not right with that boy, and Damian would find out what he was hiding, come hell or high water—he had to clear his good name, after all.
NOTE: Set immediately after Wayne Family Dinners Don't Usually Involve This Much Blood And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves
I know I'm not Father of the Year, but can we please keep the crimes to a minimum?
“Father, I have found him out! I knew I’d seen him before, and I! Was! Right!” Damian gestured to the Batcomputer, triumph ringing in his voice. Bruce moved to inspect the file, and—
“Son, what is this.”
“This,” Damian pointed at the blurry figure half cropped from the surveillance image, “Is Timothy Drake.”
Or: Damian persists in his campaign against Tim, and drags Bruce with him (kicking and screaming).
If You Want Something Done Right, You’ve Got to Do It Yourself
“I’m not asking you to lie to Batman, I’m just asking you to… not tell the truth?”
“Erasing the photos of you from my files is a bit more than a lie of omission, Tim,” Barbara pointed out dryly.
“Okay, whose fault is this really, though? You didn’t have to tell me that Damian put it together, or that Bruce was looking into it. You could've left well enough alone and let me hang. So like, you’ve made this an ‘us’ problem,” he reasoned.
“Oh, no. No, no, no. No. You are not blaming this on me! I’m not the one who’s spent ten years avoiding Batman, only to fuck his middle child and gaslight his youngest! You are asking for this, mister, and I am not bailing you out.” She concluded her tirade by popping a sick wheelie and booking it back over to her computer.

Summary
Street Rat Tim Drake's adventures as he steals identities, finds a family, and causes chaos wherever he goes.
Anthology containing:
Gotham Knockoff
Stalking Batman is hard as a starving orphan in Crime Alley. Tim would know; that’s his life.
Luckily, Tim is excellent at his self-appointed calling, and once he cracks Batman’s secret identity, he discovers an empty mansion next door to the Wayne estate.
Some would consider squatting uncouth; Tim calls it free real estate. Anyway, the Drakes won't mind. They'd have to be in the country for that.Besides, a little identity theft never hurt anybody.
Discount Drake
Adapting to high society after a life of living on the streets is challenging, especially since Tim’s peers are assholes.
Luckily, Tim has the perfect revenge; brotherhood.
