Summary
ᶻz ◜ ᓚᘏᗢ ◞ 𖦹
Kitty had always been more cynical than Tim, more mature in a way. She knew their parents didn’t care about them. She’d seen how they treated Tim - he took the brunt of their frustration, being the eldest - and she didn’t care for it.
It was just her and Tim against the world. As long as she had her older brother with her, Kitty could do anything. And she would do anything for her brother.
// OR //
Four years after having Tim, Janet Drake gives birth to a baby girl, who, thanks to all of the painkillers she was on - and Jack's absence due to a business trip - was named Kitty Louise Drake.
After coming back from a dig, her father does something she deems unforgivable, Janet simply watches it happen, and Kitty is furious. In the end, the siblings run away from home. But what will they make of their newfound situation?
Become Vigilantes, of course!

Summary
After a difficult year (for many reasons) Tim goes back to Gotham to help Jason Todd reconnect with his family. Whether Jason wanted that or not, well, Tim had time to wear him down. Between the tutelage of Deathstroke and Lady Shiva, he was well equipped to handle himself as Jason's equal and hit Gotham's vigilante scene as the Buzzard. His parents were dead and the lonely cavity in his chest kept growing every day, but it didn't matter. Tim's mission could and would succeed despite his personal feelings and failures. He was fine and he had a job to do.

Summary
In the weeks since his parents' death, his take over as CEO of Drake Industries, and basically a complete upheaval of life as he knows it, Tim Drake has been doing everything he can to gain the approval of his company, the press, and the general public. Easy, right?
Except, apparently, there's something more sinister going on beneath DI's shiny veneer. And now Tim's fighting for his life literally, not just metaphorically. Good thing the Bats are there to protect him. But why are these people so interested in his life? Seriously, don't they have better things to do? So long as Tim makes it out alive and the Bats never find out he knows their secret, everything will be fine. Too bad nothing ever goes right for Tim.OR
Tim Drake is a super badass CEO/detective/genius, but even the most resourceful of 16-year-olds needs some help when a crime lord wants them dead.

Summary
Jason doesn't run the distance to the manor, but it's only out of concern from causing Tim more pain. The kid is mostly limp across Jason's shoulders - which is both good that he's not struggling but also concerning that he's not struggling, considering Jason just broke into his house and kidnapped him. "Hey, Tim, you good?" he asks.
"Hurts," Tim mutters.
"I know it does, baby bird. We're almost home." The word comes out before he thinks about it, and he grits his teeth.
"Who... who are you?" Tim asks.
"Nobody, kid. I'm nobody you need to worry about."
Not anymore, at least.

This is a collection of ficlets and one-shots that don’t necessarily fit into the main storyline of Bad Puppy but I still thought deserved to be explored.

Summary
Voices caught his ears and the shine of candlelight from a nearby window caught his eyes.
Turning towards it, he could hear the happy laughs of the Waynes and their shadows peering onto the ground.
Tim harshly bit his lip to try and stall the tears, but it was too late. It seemed like all Tim’s fate will ever be is to stare into people's windows, transfixed by rose golden glows.
"I look in people's windows, transfixed by rose golden glows."

Summary
Timothy had always been expected to embody perfection, to be the flawless heir everyone saw him as. When he inevitably fell short, when he wasn’t enough, it only deepened the sense of failure that haunted him. The pressure weighed on him and the pain that came with it, until it became too much to bear. It took endless pain, countless moments of doubt, and the support of those who refused to give up on him to finally understand: that maybe, just maybe, he could be loved for who he was, imperfections and all.

Summary
As Tim stood in the entryway of the Park Row Women and Children’s shelter with Mrs. Walker, Steph, and three other classmates, staring up as the fucking Red Hood prepared to give them a tour, he reflected on how he got here. His dad wouldn’t be in the country and paying attention to him for once if mom hadn’t died. And mom wouldn’t be dead if Tim hadn’t become Robin. And Tim wouldn’t be Robin if Bruce had handled his emotions like a goddamned adult after Jason died.
So really, it was Jason’s fault Tim was in his territory today.
Or: A few months after the events at Titan's Tower, Tim Drake and Jason Todd are forced to cooperate due to Tim's school assignment. As Jason begins to begrudgingly get to know his replacement, he grows concerned about the kid's home life. Had Bruce become an even worse father in his absence? Or was he missing something?

That is what Tim had been doing tonight.
Protecting Jason Todd. Protecting Robin.
He just. Well, Tim hadn’t realized that in all four thousand one hundred and seventy-seven days of his life, he had never learned how to swim. Why would he need to? Gotham may be surrounded by water, but it’s water that’s more polluted than Los Angeles and the Mississippi River combined.
Still, his lack of competency would’ve been useful to remember before he decided to leap off a boat pier in an attempt to escape a very angry, very trigger-happy Falcone Family enforcer.
