1 – 20 of 71 Works in good parent Bruce Wayne
Summary
Bruce breathed in, long and steady, and then he breathed out. Then he turned, composure a surprising shade of calm, and made his way a few feet down the corridor, where a cabinet displaying part of the manor's whiskey collection was positioned against the wall. He bent down to open the bottom doors, retrieved a singular tumbler from within, and then straightened before opening the glass doors above. He silently chose a bottle, scanning the label and scrutinising its information before pouring himself a healthy dose, and then calmly, without comment, he threw back his head and downed the glass in one go.
The kids watched him quietly, none quite sure whether or not it would be wise to speak. Bruce poured himself another, smaller glass, and then repeated the action swiftly. He brought the tumbler away from his mouth and examined it for a moment, and then abruptly he slammed it down against the surface of the cabinet, whirling around to glare at Damian and Jason with fire in his eyes.

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!

Summary
The woman gasped at him like he'd thrown acid at her, taking a step back and dragging her son with her. "What kind of person uses language like that in front of somebody else's child? I'll call the police and have you done for harassment, you know!"
"Lady, you're in our building and refusing to leave us alone," Jason snapped back at her tiredly, putting a hand on his hip and tilting his head to the side. "Call the police, I fucking dare you; we'll see who they think is the problem here."

Somehow, Jason Todd gets into a fight with the head of his local PTA. Somehow, this ends up with his estranged family figuring out that he's not dead anymore. Somehow, Damian is the one that is inconvenienced the most by all of these events.

Don’t Let Me Down by Graphic_Nobody
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman: Wayne Family Adventures (Webcomic), DCU, Robin (Comics)
19 Jun 2026
Summary
When ten year old Tim Drake is paired with the freshly adopted, thirteen year old Jason Todd for a school project, he is ecstatic. He just hopes he can keep his inner fanboy under control. At the same time, his parents’ trips are increasing in length, and Tim is handling it like a champ! Who needs parental supervision? Not him! Although, a little company might be nice…
Meanwhile, Jason is still half convinced that his adoption is an elaborate human trafficking scheme, but this Robin gig is pretty cool. And his new school may be full of rich jerks, but the neighbor kid isn’t too bad. Having an adult trying to take care of him is a bit of an adjustment, but one he might just be able to get used to.

Summary
A series where Jason never dies, but the Waynes’ weird neighbor kid gets strung along for the ride all the same.

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??

Yet another alternative ending to chapter 4 of 5 Times Tim Spends the Night at Wayne Manor + 1 Time He Comes Home.

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
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?)
