    Summary

    Tim Drake has always been good at noticing things—quiet patterns, missing files, truths no one else wants to see. When the city begins whispering about a new player in Gotham’s shadows, Tim listens. There’s something familiar in the way the Red Hood moves, something angry and aching beneath the surface—and Tim is certain it's Jason Todd. So he goes looking, not for a fight, but for a ghost with his brother’s face.

    Summary

    Dick wanted someone else to correct Damian, someone else to convince Tim to sleep, and someone else to worry about whatever was up with Jason. Dick sighed. Tomorrow he’d go back to being a dutiful older brother. For tonight, he’d deal with what he could. Jason would keep.

    *Narrator voice* Jason would not, in fact, keep.
    ~~~
    He should take stock of himself. Figure out if any of the injuries needed treatment. But—
    Desperate cries. Fingers digging into his forearm, tugging, getting weaker and weaker. Watery blue eyes filled with betrayal, just like when it happened before
    no. NO. We can’t. We promised. STOP!

    OR

    Jason is horrified after he accidentally hurts Tim again. Right?
    A healthy dose of whump, guilt, and misunderstandings, all because people can’t use their words.

    Summary

    A series of somewhat-connected connections between DCU's two finest foster families.

    Most chapters: *calmly spinning, talking pleasantly on the teacup ride*
    Jason, Billy, Tim, and Freddy chapters: *whirling around at fifty miles an hour on the teacup ride, screaming*

    Summary

    "There is someone that can train you, if you want."

    Damian froze, his eyes creeping up to interlock with Dick's piercing gaze.

    "Who?"

    "The former third Robin."

    -

    Damian Wayne had a goal, to be the best Robin that Batman had. His plan was foiled however, when all three of his mentors were too busy to train him, leaving him helpless and inexperienced... Unless he could find another trainer.

    Summary

    For all of Tim's life, Tim felt like he was missing something. He didn't know what it was, but he would always chase it, consciously or not. And only being Robin helped him realize it and get it again.

    Summary

    Batman caught twelve-year-old Jason and nine-year-old Harry trying to steal his tires. Instead of turning them in, he brought them home. Now with their official adoption pending, Harry and Jason settle in to life at Wayne Manor, with Harry's best friend and pseudo-twin Tim as their neighbor now instead of that weird kid with a camera on a rooftop. Is this dream too good to be true? Or has Harry, after so many years as an unwanted stray, finally found a real home?

    Direct sequel to "Strays."

    Summary

    By choosing not to call the police ten minutes ago, and the hospital twelve minutes ago, and Bruce fifteen minutes ago, the decision has been made. There is no backing out, now.

    His sweatshirt is still covered in blood, and soaked from the rain, but he ignores this. It’s fine. He’s fine. He’s the same calm, level-headed Tim he’s always been. So he plans.

    Tim is a murderer. He murdered someone. It's an unchangeable, unshakeable fact. He blinks as if trying to wake up from the nightmare his life has become and it's still a fact that he must face. His life is full of horrible facts, now...but no-one else knows any of them. No-one else knows what Tim has done. And if he’s smart, and careful, no-one else ever will.

    All he has to do is learn to live with it.

    Or, just some brotherly fluff.

    Summary

    Tim Drake knows his parents don't love him, and he's fine with that, really. He doesn't expect anything from them anymore. But for crying out loud, do they really have to send him to another country halfway across the world just to get rid of him? And what's this? A storm? Why does the world hate him?

    Jason Todd knows exactly what he is doing when he runs away from his pod. He's going to prove that not only can he survive on his own just fine, but in fact, will THRIVE. He's going to NAIL this survival thing so hard, Dickhead will never make fun of him again. He's not a guppy anymore and he'll prove it!

    Or. Or. Two idiots meet on the ocean and realize that two idiots working together are way more likely to survive than two idiots alone.

    Summary

    Tim Drake is holding it together. Barely.
    He’s an orphan (which, yeah, isn’t exactly rare around here), his guardian barely acknowledges him, his place in the Batfam is… undefined at best, one of his brothers definitely wants him dead, and being Robin is not as fun as it sounds. The weight of Gotham is starting to feel a little heavier each night and sleep is a myth. Add schoolwork and the crushing loneliness of a 16-year-old who lives solo in a giant manor, and you’ve got a disaster cocktail with a cherry on top.
    So when a weird floating boy shows up out of nowhere, Tim’s totally sure it’s just his overworked, sleep-deprived brain staging an intervention. A welfare hallucination. Happens.
    ...Still, it’s kinda nice not being alone for a change.

    or: Tim Drake is having a no-good, very bad mental health spiral—until a glowing boy phases through his wall. Literally.

    Summary

    Tim is a mess. Always has been. Chaos and synthesis and electricity are his constants. He’s St. Elmo’s fire and burning plasma. Steph had called him deranged when she walked out, and Tim hadn’t had one word to defend himself.

    He needs someone strong enough to stop him, or to stop the world for him.

    Summary

    Kinda set after Brothers in a Snowstorm, but can be read as a standalone.

    Jason comes back to the Cave with Tim, recently after finally making his little brother calm down around him. He and Bruce talk about the Drakes' parenting and what to do about it.

    I might add more chapters, but this is a one-shot for now.

    This is still being edited btw, pls give feedback.

    Summary

    Jason would love to hide in his room and analyze the musical "Epic" with Dick for hours on end, forgetting all about everyone who thinks he's street trash. Especially Tim Drake.

    Tim just wants his hero to not hate him.

     

    In which misunderstandings abound, friends are made, and secrets can only be buried for so long.

    Summary

    Most of the time, Tim is fine. He doesn't like to wallow in his own misery — not only is it unbecoming of a Robin, it just shows how much of a useless beta he is, not able to balance out his own emotions. When everything becomes too much, he likes to find himself a quiet spot where he can purr to himself and take down the walls he builds around himself.

    In all the years he's been alive, no one caught him yet. He never expected his little purring session in Titan's Tower would be interrupted by not one, but two crime lords alongside another Tim, and even less so for it to turn as well as it does.

    Summary

    “Father, I would like to-” Tim had his apology cut off as his Father turned on his heel signaling to Tim to follow him.

    He led Tim to his room silently and opened the door then held his hand out to Tim. Tim handed him his phone.

    “Father, please I’m sorry please” Tim pleaded as his Father backed him into his room. “No Father please speak to me, I’ll fix my error”, he began as tears welled up in his eyes.
    His father closed the door and he could hear the lock slide into place.

    Or

    Tim's parents lock him in his room he gets really cold and the early batfam help to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    “I believe it when you say it, mommy.”

    The world tilts on its axis. After an eternity of stillness— only a few seconds, but Tim feels the delay, any second away from Jason is intolerable— Tim’s grip on his hair inevitably tightens. He has to move his leg a little to distract himself from the painful erection in his shorts.

    “Can you say that again, Jay?” Tim is breathless. Jason kisses Tim's knees carefully, warming his lips to the middle of Tim's thighs.

    "Mommy?"

     

    Or: In which Jason shows up at Tim's door for a case and gets more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    Timmie Drake has been following the Bats and Birds at night for eight years. They're sixteen now and his hobby has grown into something a lot bigger than it started out as.


    "Timmie cracks his fingers and sets to work preparing a special release for this evening before his shift begins.

    'My podcast and my Twitter account have grown astronomically in the past couple years. Originally, this was a game for me. A bit of fun. Somewhere I could share the crazy things I was seeing when I caught the Bats out on patrol. It’s not a game anymore....'"
