It's Called a Murder by UnsweetenedTea

Summary
Two weeks and four days after Jason Todd’s funeral, Tim Drake realized Batman couldn’t be Jason’s legacy. He was eating cereal while watching the news, typing up notes about what had been going on in Gotham and occasionally remembering to actually take a bite of his breakfast. Batman was getting worse; it was only a matter of time before someone died. And not someone like the Joker (who honestly deserved it), but somebody who had no other option than to hold up the local corner store. So what could he do?
Looking back, he wasn’t entirely sure why he’d decided that becoming a Rogue was his best option.

Summary
In a world where Bruce Wayne is presumed dead, the Robins must work together to protect the city of Gotham while they struggle to hold their makeshift, found family together. Their fragile status quo is disrupted after Damian Wayne, newly 18 and tired of playing sidekick to Dick Grayson's Batman, and Tim Drake, recent college graduate and newly on his own as Red Robin, swap bodies. Tim gets to go back to a time when things were simpler, while Damian gets to prove he can be the solo hero Dick doubts he's ready to be. But is this mix up and dream come true or a living nightmare?
NOTE: This story is not yet complete and I'm unsure how long it will be, though if I like this world I may tell future stories in this continuity as well. I'm putting up what I have so far, so let me know what you think in the comments!

Summary
Tim had given everything, his childhood, his parents, his future, and Bruce was still treating him like he was one misstep away from becoming the next psychotic villain of the week. But even that was better than when he was treated like he didn’t exist at all.
It had taken him breaking for a fucking apology.
He-
No one else had to deal with that.
Tim lets Bruce marinate in the silence. Lets him think about what he’s done, about what led up to this. He hopes that Bruce hurts just as much as he does, if not more.
_____
When you’ve hit rock bottom, the only way left to go is up.
Or
Tim’s been hurting alone for so long, he handles it the only way he knows how. For better or worse, his family’s there every step of the way.

Summary
Dick Grayson didn’t mean to avoid Tim Drake.
Dick was fairly confident the boy would make a decent Robin. But beyond that Dick didn’t have any strong opinions, and he was happy to leave it that way. He refused to form an opinion, to become attached. It was easier that way. Dick didn’t want to take the time to examine the dread he felt seeing Tim in his colors, standing in the same spot another black haired, blue eyed boy used to be. He wasn’t looking for a new brother. That’s what he told himself when eight months had passed and he had only met the boy a handful of times.
Dick stopped telling himself that when he learned that Tim had died due to the Joker.
Or: In Tim's early Robin days, Dick realizes he needs to step up and mentor the boy who now holds his mantle. Tim is going to be part of the family, no matter what Bruce has to say.

Summary
Tim carved himself a place with the Wayne's. He bled for a chance to don a domino mask. He endured condescension, attempts on his life that were met with no reprimand, he even endured Robin - the one thing he had left - being taken and given to Damian. He went on a trip around the goddamn world just to find Bruce after he was lost in the timestream. He cried, fought, bled, underwent medical malpractice, and still found his adopted father. All to be met with no apologies for his eldest brother's threats of Arkahm, and a request for his emancipation so Bruce wouldn't have to run Wayne Enterprises.
Tim Drake-Wayne dropped the hypenation.
He was never a Wayne, and he finally realized it.

Summary
“I feel like we’re all connected by this… this grave injustice we have to endure. This unfairness that haunts us throughout our lives.”
Tim was lying down. His head was dizzy with the knowledge that he was going to ruin his life tomorrow. And how, despite that, it was doing nothing to squash the small hope growing inside of him as he watched the clock count down.
Or Tim is trans. And an idiot.

Summary
Bruce is awoken in the middle of the night by a stange visitor - In the end he comforts a bird coming to terms with past grief and a realisation.
His torso launched up into a sitting position as a batarang left his hands and dug into the old wooden frame right as a shadow ducked and rolled out of the way. It emerged by the window next to the barely open curtains and Bruce finally saw the figure's silhouette.
“Tim?”
“Hi B”

Summary
“Right. I… I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. About everything. And…” Jason breathes out, like the words are physically painful for him to say, “I feel really guilty about, um, how I’ve treated you–”
“You mean about how you slit my throat? Or the way you act towards me in general?” Tim clarifies, tilting his head a little.
“All of it. I, I wanted to ask if you could maybe forgive me for it. I feel really bad about it, Tim.”
Tim can’t help it. He laughs, loud and cruel. “You feel bad about it, huh?”
Jason looks at him warily and nods, slow and careful.
“You feel bad. Wow. How the fuck do you think I feel about it, Jason?”
Or: basically Tim crashing out at the batfam, with varying results.

Summary
-The boy, whatever his name was, finally looked around, Harley and Joker standing on both sides of him, staring down at him. He was the puppy. Joker stepped away for 2 moments and then turned back, his hand forcing more pills into him. His vision was swimming, from all those pills, that electricity, he couldnt name it anymore, but he was sure he knew what it was called once.
"Swallow, boy." Joker said, oddly calm, but the grin stayed.
He gulped it all down hard, nearly chocking on it. his whole body was trembling, and he didnt know if he was even existing anymore. Was this all just a dream, a cruel living, or...hm. Interesting thoughts.-I havent even seen the movie, so this just popped out of my head :D Also english is not my first so sorry for any typos

Wayne Family (And Tim!) Christmas Extravaganza! by PinkParagram

Summary
Bruce’s brain takes a moment to reboot. “Your parents are in South America?”
“Yes.”
He’s not sure why he’s so surprised – the Drakes are known for their work in archeology, and not much of that can be done locally. Still, he assumed that they took Timothy with them when they left the country for work. It seems a shame to leave him with a nanny this close to Christmas.
“Okay,” he says, erasing the numbers typed into his phone. “What’s your nanny’s number, then?”
“My what?” Timothy looks scandalized.
“Your babysitter? Whoever is in charge of you while your parents are gone,” he clarifies.
“I’m in charge of me when my parents are gone,” Timothy says proudly, his little chest puffing out. “I’m the Man of the House.”
AKA
Tim gets to spend Christmas with the Waynes! This will not have lasting consequences, I'm sure.
