Summary
One of Gotham City’s iconic “Robins”, Tim Drake was transported to a strange medieval world with no memory of how he arrived. Mistaken for a rebel soldier by the Imperial Legion, he found himself facing execution in the town of Helgen. His life was ultimately spared not by mercy or justice, but by the cataclysmic appearance of a black dragon that razed the town of Helgen and left him with agonizing physical and psychological wounds.
As he struggles to survive in this new land of Skyrim, Tim's main goal is to find a way home. However, this mission is continually derailed by the needs of the locals, his own near crippling injuries, and the looming threat of the dragon he had the misfortune to survive.

Summary
I love you in so many ways / To try to explain or define / What it is I feel inside / Is near impossible / I wouldn't know where to begin / Just know what I feel has no end. / I will love you beyond forever / With every breath, with all that I am / Of this I am certain / And though I can't find the ways / To tell you how much I love you / Without a doubt I can say / I will love you all of my days.
Tim is coughing and can't stop.
That's fine.
Everything is fine.
Everything.
Is.
Fine.Series

Summary
JJ stares in the mirror, his brows pulled together. His green hair has gotten long and unkempt, nothing like when his mother would brush it and sing to him. Everyone keeps asking why it’s growing in green. He’s tried to tell them that it’s because his hair is green, just like his Daddy’s, but no one is listening. He sighs, looking down. He’s not chained anymore, hasn’t been for a couple of weeks, and he’s started tucking the pills into his cheeks. He doesn’t like how off that make him feel. It’s like he can feel pain that’s not there, and he has nightmares about electricity, and someone hurting him.
He doesn’t like it, and he refuses to deal with it any longer. He has to get out of here, has to find his parents.

Summary
“Dad!” Tim froze where he was, ice creeping up his spine. He’d had his anxieties coming home, but deep down he’d known that his dad didn’t like to wake up before nine or ten. And Jack had definitely been drinking last night; Tim had seen the bottles before leaving for patrol. Liquor usually kept him drowsy. Come to think of it, his breath already reeked of the substance.
Jack didn’t seem to be holding anything, and as far as Tim could tell, nothing in his room was misplaced. What was going on?
Jack’s glare became even more vicious. “Where the fuck have you been?”
OR
5 times Tim doesn’t tell anyone his secret, and 1 time they find out.

Summary
And he felt so angry for no reason at all. He felt angry at himself. He felt angry at his family. He felt angry at his friends. Every “hey, are you okay?” message felt like a personal attack. He couldn’t explain why. It just was. Every time Kon sends a message telling Tim that “I’m here for you”, he wants to throw his phone across the room.

This is basically just me projecting onto Tim with my current problems and feelings.Series

Summary
It had been months, and yet he could still feel unwanted hands dancing across his skin. Those deceptively soft touches that left him sore and covered in bruises for weeks... he swears sometimes that he was still there, that these past few months had simply been a dissociative illusion.

Summary
***PODFIC***
It was easy to figure out that Jason Todd was the Red Hood and even easier to figure out what came next.Jason wasn’t really doing much to hide his plans—Tim could see how he hated the Bats and could hear every comment he made about the newest Robin and it was obvious he was planning something.
The guns on his hips didn’t leave him much doubt as to what those plans were.
The hard part was coming to terms with it.
The hard part was looking himself in the mirror and knowing he was living on borrowed time. It was going out each night looking for a red helmet, only ever seeing it hidden in shadows behind him—always watching, always waiting. It was staring at his laundry basket and wondering if he should take care of that or if he’d have a bullet in his skull before he could move it to the dryer.
- - -
Tim figures out that Jason is going to kill him so he can take back his rightful place and join the family again.
He decides to do the only reasonable thing and minimize the fallout of his death before it occurs.
According to Jason, this is the wrong thing to do.

Summary
Tim is tired, oh so tired, and he doesn’t know why he still wants to do this vigilante thing. Batman was never going to acknowledge him as a partner or even fellow vigilante. Because really? Crow has never given him any reason to trust him. He's always been suspect; interfering with Batman's mission after Jason's death, forcibly becoming Robin, and being the number one suspect for the Joker's death. His current transgression is garnering the attention of the League of Assassins. Tim snorts, thinking of the amazing hypocrisy going on there. However, everything changes one night when he encounters a Jason from another reality while on patrol.

Summary
Murder is hard to spell, but much harder to see clearly. Sometimes, consequences come knocking on your door: ultimately, Batman's children just want to bury him and his crimes in peace.
“Not here. This…line of work. Once you’re in, you can never walk out.”
He saw the kid’s face tighten in determination. Jason felt defeated at the expression—the knowledge that there was already no return—not for Jason, and not even for Duke.
He pulled his hand away, resting it by his side. Jason took a step back.

Summary
As a neglected pup, Tim's growth has been extremely stunted. He thinks he has an idea for how to fix that.
~~~~~~~~~
Tim has a very bad idea.
~~~~~~~~~
Tim was sixteen years old, soon to be seventeen. For most, this would be a great time, a time where pups began to get ready to become adults, to step out into the world as full members of society. This was the time when they got ready, for college, for jobs, to graduate.It was also a time for learning, to experiment and grow and learn just what it meant to be their particular designation, whether Alpha, Beta, or Omega. This was about the time when ruts and heats started to ramp up and get more intense, when Alphas and Omegas might start to get different urges and not just the ones urging for family. It was about learning control, learning about yourself, so that when they finally reached eighteen and stepped outside the house, they wouldn’t be completely inept members of society ruled by their instincts.
Tim was not doing any of that. Except maybe the graduation thing, but that was just because Jason would probably skin him if he dropped out of high school, and Tim had about zero interest in provoking the Omega like that.

Summary
Jason didn't really care much for Tim Drake. The two never got close enough to have casual conversations or joke around, they were simply coworkers as Bats and acquaintances as Waynes. That was all it ever was, and honestly, Jason never really minded it. One less person to worry or care much about was one less person to get hurt by, so he didn't matter much to him, and it seemed like Tim felt the same.
So why did it hurt him so much when he saw Timothy Drake lying on the dark red toilet tiles with a bullet wound to the abdomen?
~~~~~
Tim nearly dies, and Jason finds him. The family doesn't seem to fully understand it.
