Summary
Timothy Drake-Wayne, ruthless teenaged CEO of two fortune 500 companies, vigilante extraordinaire with the alias of Red Robin swinging through Gotham’s skyline, and oh, who's also known as Dragon from the DSO.
He would very much like to point out that it’s his parents’ fault why and how he became a government agent in the first place, which, if Bruce finds out, he would undoubtedly have an aneurysm of epic proportions–cause of death: reckless child.
Granted, the Waynes and their friends and the honorary aunts and uncles are used to him coming and going for long periods of time because "he’s so busy running two companies, you understand," but if his family knows he’s shooting zombies in the face in his free time, well, they’ll lock him up in the manor and throw the key into the ocean.

Summary
Tim, the ever vigilant (always awake and never giving himself a break) vigilante, gets word of a drug bust going down. One he just so happens to be the only one available to stop. Which happens to be taking place in the very early hours of his birthday. Of course he goes on the highly dangerous bust alone. What could happen?
Or: Tim is used to being the Robin that gets thing handled, that doesn't need Batman to come rescue him. Bruce Wayne had made it very clear in the early days that Tim was not his son. Alfred Pennyworth was cold, allowing only the politeness and distance to show through his Iron Wall. Dick Grayson treated him the way he wished he'd treated his brother, Jason.
Tim was fine with this. He wasn't a child. Even if he wished for more of the small slivers of love the Wayne family were just starting to give him, he wouldn't dare take Jason Todd's place. He just hoped the support he provided for the grieving family would make Jason proud. But Jason Todd came back, and he sure made it known he wasn't. He made sure Tim knew exactly what he thought of the cuckoo in his family.
Now, the Wayne family has their lost son back and Tim has a job to do. Just, not in this dimension?

Summary
“Bruce is going to erase your memories.” Jason says.
Tim, still in his Robin costume, turns from the Batcomputer to Jason. “If you're going to lie, lie like you mean it. Otherwise don’t bother.”
Bruce had made him believe a ridiculous story from the future for his 16th birthday. Jason can be more convincing than this. It's an insult to Tim’s intelligence really.
“I’m not lying.”
OR
A morally grey Tim gets caught in a murder and Batman is going to apprehend him but a darker Batman from another dimension happens upon them and takes Tim with him.

Summary
Jason’s fingers wrapped tightly up the side of his neck, digging in behind his jaw. “I should watch you splat,” he growled out.
Tim giggled. “I’ll do a flip on the way down.”
He still had the belt, could catch himself before the end. He twitched a finger, felt the response time minutely delayed. Could probably catch himself. It didn’t matter. He was confident Jason wouldn’t drop him.
Delightfully, his heart raced all the same.

Whumptober 2025
“You’ve got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears.”Prophecy| Sewer | Taking Accountability_______
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.

Summary
The cold has been one of the only constants in Tim’s life.
From the empty halls of Drake Manor to the long nights spent stalking the streets of Gotham - Tim had grown used to the cold.
So much so that he didn't even notice it anymore…Or:
Tim Drake is a meta - not that he knows it.

Summary
Tim’s mind raced. If they could manipulate the past, they could manipulate the future. The timeline wasn’t fixed—events could be rewritten. He could rewrite them.
For the first time since the explosion, a sliver of hope cut through the haze of grief.

Summary
“D’you want ice cream?” Red Hood asked, and Tim blinked.
“Ice cream?” Tim asked, a little incredulous.
Hood shrugged before he answered. “Seeing people die is a traumatic experience. Seeing people be murdered even more so. Come on, consider it an apology for any additional trauma I may have caused you.”
Tim didn’t know what possessed him to agree.
In which:
Jason takes one look at Tim and his first thought is to hug him, not kill him. Otherwise known as the world in which Jason decides that Bruce does not deserve to have Robins. The obvious solution? Steal all his Robins before he can mess them up any further.

Summary
Ra's stole Tim's spleen and threw him out a window, so Tim retaliated by stealing every single asset in the league's possession and then blowing every major League of Shadow base in the world to smithereens, as one does.
Or cue the one where Tim gets his hands on all the league's material assets, and I mean ALL OF THEM.
Money, Weapons, Poisons, information, surveillance, Lazarus pits, magical artifacts, and of course the nuclear bombs that he found in the basement. All of which, now belonged to Tim.

Summary
Timothy Drake has done it again! He's survived the unsurvivable and done the impossible, in the process making his own life infinitely more difficult for himself.
Yay for him.
Or
Tim has used the last ditch effort doomsday device and saved his world from ruin; the catch is that an exact copy from the moment of the device's activation will be flung to the far reaches of the multiverse, possibly into another dimension's universe entirely.
This is definitely another universe.

Summary
In the aftermath of the kidnapping, Tim just wants to move on, but people keep refusing to leave him alone and let him actually get things done.
Jason attempts to maintain the delicate balance of stopping Tim from working himself into an early grave while simultaneously keeping himself sane. At this point he’d probably have an easier time convincing Bruce to kill the Joker, honestly.
Duke would rather not get dragged into more family drama if he can help it, but at least maybe he can get some real training out of all of this.

Summary
There was a body in the bay.
Jason swore as his motorbike skidded to a stop at the waterfront, climbing off of it and running to the edge of the water.
There had been an explosion in a warehouse not far from there – one that Red Robin had been staking out. The Bats were on damage control, putting out fires, digging out criminals, and fishing out the unlucky few that had been dumped in Gotham Bay from the force of the explosion.
For someone to have been washed all the way out here… Jason was aware that he was fishing out a dead body.
--
or, Jason finds a body in the Gotham bay. It's Tim.

Summary
Willis James Todd served his ten-year sentence, which was reduced to one year for good behavior.
It's been fourteen years since worked for the Two-Face.
He's also been on parole for two years.
Three years passed when he was informed in prison about his son's death, and everything fell apart for him.
After those two years of freedom, he stays away from crime, works, attends his scheduled therapy sessions as part of his rehabilitation program, and currently suffers from insomnia.
But something has changed in recent weeks.
He doesn't know why he receives several nightly visits on different random days of the week of the new Gotham player, who has quickly become known.
The Red Hood visits him in his apartment and speaks to him as if he knows him.
But something Willis doesn't dare say out loud is that the Red Hood often reminds him of his dead son. -

Summary
Being thrown back in time turned out to be less of a disaster than Tim would have thought. He had managed to stay more or less out of trouble, keep his nose clean, and even help a few people along the way! (Hopefully)
Unfortunately, things didn’t stay clean for very long, not when Tim was involved. The powers that be (and the powers that would one day be) were beginning to take notice, and Tim’s idyllic home life wasn’t going to last much longer, not unless he did something about it.
And do something about it he did.

Summary
Nostromos has been released from prison and he is back scamming the rich and vulnerable.
Who better to go undercover to surveil this villain than the resident nepo babies of Tim Drake and Conner Luthor?
Their trip to Nostormos' show gets interesting when Kon calls it a date. Tim, against his better judgement, rolls with the idea.
They both commit to the bit. Maybe too much. -

Summary
Jason paused at this. Huffed a laugh. “Yeah, okay Timmy. What the hell. Fine. I’ll work with you.” Better to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Or: Jason agrees to work with Tim to track down the Joker, but he notices the lies — and, well, can he really chalk them all up to paranoia? Meanwhile, Tim uncovers some corruption within Drake Industries.
