Summary
Downtown, in a quiet neighborhood near Burnley that smelled of something like garlic and cumin, broken glass glittered like stars where it fell on the asphalt. Potholes collected darkness like rainwater, and alleyways hosted patchwork spiderwebs of swaying laundry lines. A maroon shawl bounced cheerfully as a squirrel dashed across it, before leaping to another and sending a gossamer scarf floating down to earth. Tim tucked their arms tighter around their knees, watching the washing swing lightly, the shine of splintered glass, the depths of a black hole in the asphalt. They thought, in flickers, of watercolours. Of ghosts.

Summary
The Drake's are back in Gotham, meaning Tim back to taking the bus to school.
The day they leave again, as Tim heads to school. A group of men knock him out and shove him into a van, intent on holding him for ransom.
--
There’s light hitting his face, but not the harsh unnatural light, most likely it’s light filtering in from a high up window. The room smells of damp and mold, along with the faint smell of exhaust and the sound of cars passing.
A basement, close to a road, but not a busy one. He might be somewhere in the East End, but it’s hard to say until he can look outside.

Summary
It was ridiculous to wait on your own death. Trying to guess when it would arrive or running from it, only for the grim reaper to stare you dead in the eyes one day. He wanted to meet him on his own terms.
So he set himself a countdown. One year to live life to its fullest, not putting things off for the next time or waiting around. He had told himself that he wouldn’t let a single chance go, that this would lead him to becoming the greatest version of himself.
He wasn’t sure if he had kept that promise. But at least he was quite contempt with what was now awaiting him.
Tims feet were now dangling off the top of the skyscraper he had sneaked up on.
OR: Tim is suicidal. Jason just became Red Hood and is trying to throw some Guys off of the same Rooftop that Tim is trying to kill himself on. Chaos ensues.

Summary
Tim has never asked for care. He works too hard, rests too little, and keeps everyone at arm’s length- including Bruce. But Bruce is trying. Quietly, consistently, and without expectation.
Through late-night gestures, unspoken kindness, and moments of gentle presence, Bruce offers what he never had the words for: comfort, pride, and unconditional love. And slowly—hesitantly—Tim begins to reach back.
Or in otherwords, five times Bruce showed Tim he was loved, and one time Tim finally believed him.

Summary
Drake Manor is quiet. It always has been. But lately, the silence doesn't comfort Tim, it crushes and holds captive. He’s tired, all the time, in a way sleep can’t fix. His body aches, his hands won’t cooperate, and even the smallest actions feel like wading through concrete.
It’s probably nothing.
He’s probably fine.
(He’s not fine.)

Summary
Tim ignored them, his eyes examining Jason’s phone. He hadn’t seen what video Jason had been watching earlier, but it was probably a livestream or maybe a TikTok. Tim’s gaze slid to his own phone. He had a hundred thousand followers on Twitter. An idea began forming in his head.
Or Bruce decides that Tim, Jason, and Dick need jobs so that people will think they're normal and not jump to the conclusion that they're vigilantes. He doesn't expect them to become Twitch streamers.

Summary
Jason is having a hell of a time trying to find his Replacement. Sure, he’s got a name from Talia: Timothy Drake. And he’s looked up the kid’s school records: perfect everything. Perfect grades. Perfect attendance. His school photo shows perfectly slicked-back hair and not one wrinkle on his Gotham Academy jacket. Wow, Bruce really won the lottery with his newest child soldier.
Infuriating.
Jason tries to do a little hate-stalking, but that’s where things go a bit weird. Timothy Drake has his own fuckin’ mansion right next to Bruce’s, but when he swings by Drake Manor, it’s oddly empty and devoid of life. Weird. Jason tracks down a penthouse in the Diamond District, but it seems to be falsified records because there’s a whole different rich guy living there.
What the fuck. Where does the Replacement go when he’s not Robin?
---------
Jason is having a hard time finding Tim Drake, but he's been running into a kid by the name of Alvin Draper in the Alley.
In the meantime, Tim Drake totally has 5-step plan to bring get Jason and Bruce to reconcile! Nothing will go wrong.

Summary
At fourteen, Tim Drake is no stranger to loneliness. But when his parents die in a plane crash, and a will reveals that Bruce Wayne is his biological father, he’s dropped into a world of vigilantes, legacy, and disappointment. Bruce, caught off-guard and not ready for more family, keeps his distance.
Tim doesn’t push. He’s used to being a shadow.
But shadows notice things. They listen. They help. And while Bruce avoids his newest son, Alfred brings him in—gently, steadfastly, and without question. Tim finds belonging not in the Cave, but in quiet acts of care. In warm mugs of milk. In folded laundry. In the faint scent of his grandmother’s perfume still lingering in the halls.
Bruce may not be ready yet. But Tim is already home.

Summary
“We can try to move forward." Tim swallowed. "Or… we can move on.” He hated saying it, hated how rancid and barbed the idea of officially parting ways was on his tongue.
Hated how quickly Danny’s eyes were on him again, mouth open and ceiling forgotten.
“What?” Danny sat upright, both feet back on the ground. “You want to move on?”
“Wait,” Tim said quickly, hand out. “I just didn’t know if you—what you—“
“Tim.” Danny looked crushed. “You’re my person.”
- - -
Tim loved Danny. So, so much. But after an averted apocalypse put a strain on their relationship, he needed space to work on himself. After months of separation and countless therapy sessions, Tim finally built up enough courage to accept Danny's invitation, visiting him in Boston to see if they could try again.
This is a soft fic about reconnection and moving forward after a split.

Little Tim was crying, alone and lonely on his own birthday. He should have been used to this, but he wasn't, and that was bad. Not as bad as receiving Robin as a gift—not exactly, but the best he could get.

Summary
Gotham in the late ’80s is a mess, even more than usual. Most people treat the city like something contagious: dangerous to touch, worse to understand.
Tim Drake thinks that’s fair. It’s also why he loves it.
Murderous neighborhoods. Vengeful spirits. Creatures of the night. They all live together beneath a thin, fraying veil. And Tim has the unfortunate habit of poking it.
One can only hope his insurance covers supernatural stupidity.

Summary
Tim Drake was dead. He died on an alien planet, sacrificing himself so his team could make it home.
Or so everyone thought.
He was alive—sort of. Trapped in a place between life and death, a place out of time. Fighting through blood-soaked trials for a chance to return to life because that was the promise: be the last one standing and you earn your way back.
Because he wasn’t alone.
There were others, scattered through the trials — all vying for the same chance at life. But one stood out.
He’d never met the boy, not really. Just watched from afar, back when rooftop sightings felt like ghost stories. Now here he was—no mask, no armour, just a kid with bruised knuckles and something defiant in his smile
Tim didn’t ask his name. He didn’t have to.
Somehow, it hurt more to see this version of him, not just through the pictures that littered the manor.
