Enough to be bad, not bad enough to be noticed. by white_zane

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.
I don't know where this is going, I'm making it up as I write it. -

A robin is a robin, a child is a child. Why must they mix in such horrendous ways? by Mixed_Tapes

Summary
Tim liked to call what he did as a child ‘watching’ others seemed to have deemed it ‘stalking’, but he was fine with that; if they didn’t understand then that was their fault. He never got hurt doing it, nobody noticed he was there, and he got good pictures and memories out of, it was a win-win situation. It also allowed him to figure out the identity’s of Batman, Nightwing, and robin. Consequently opening up the Justice Leagues identities as well, and when he was only 7, going on 8 too! It also ga e him the perfect blackmail to make himself robin when Nighteing refused to return. But when robin - now Red Hood - showed up at Titans Tower with glowing green eyes and shock of white hair on his right temple fighting him with the intention of killing him? That had proved to be one of the scariest and hardest moments in his life to live through. But he had. And Jason and him, as well as Dick and Bruce, were making efforts to be a family again. Though it was hard, and they weren’t quit there yet.

Summary
“Do you want Robin to be a boy for the sake of continuity? Or…”
He stops, closing his eyes, inhaling, then exhaling, opening his eyes again to look at Tim.
“Or… because you are more comfortable being a boy?”
Bruce was hard to read; he always had been.
But over the last 5 months, he had come to learn the subtle differences between his grunts, his silences, his looks, and expressions.
Bruce looked at him in a way that was a mix of when he made conclusions without much evidence and knew it, and when he was disappointed.
It took an exceptionally long time for Tim to figure out the difference between when Bruce was disappointed in Tim, or himself.
He was disappointed in himself.
And Tims silence spoke volume.“What’s your name?”
—————————————
When Bruce finally brings up the topic of what Tims Robin suit will look like, Tim is excited beyond describable words. Bruce struggles to remind the young girl he had been training that Robin can be a girl, and that Robin can be a female hero as well.
Or; Tim comes out to Bruce

Summary
Percy didn’t like the way the new kid was looking at him, his bright eyes always peering at him from the corner of some corner or piece of art in the manor, like he was waiting for him to slip up.
He tried to control his emotions, he really did, but the entire situation was definitely unfair, both to him and to Jason.
Since Jason had died, Bruce had managed to first strip Percy of his own colors and vigilante name, ignore his new adopted pet project completely, take in the kid next door (who definitely still had parents who were alive, kicking it, and extremely rich), and give Jason’s colors to him when logically they should’ve been Percy’s next.

In which Percy Jackson meets a brand new Robin, his replacement in the Wayne Family.

Summary
Tim had always had a problem with coveting... He would see things- usually people, and try as he might to avoid it, he would get involved. Invest his entire being into protecting them. It's how he finally gained a family that didn't push him aside to favor their business. How he gained Dick as a brother. It was how he had ended up being Robin after Dick had left as Nightwing. He wasn't sure what had called to him the night he had seen the raven haired teen standing against the light post with a cigarette in his mouth down in Crime Alley, just that he had known then too that he was never going to be able to let it go- let him go. Tim was working on it. Really... it wasn't his fault that he kept accidentally acquiring strays.

Summary
Jason taps at the side of his helmet, switching to the frequency the Bats use, glad he had hacked the frequency ten minutes after he'd settled into Crime Alley.
"Found a Robin with its wings clipped. Doing you all a hell of a favor and not letting the cats at it. I'll bring it home when it's better."
Jason pauses a beat before adding, against his better judgement, "And then somebody'll be explaining to me why the fuck you all let him out of the house with a fever."

Summary
Bernard had never been a fan of altars.
Even before he found himself flat on his back, wrists tied uncomfortably above his head with ropes that scratched like twine made from cat tongues, he had a thing about them. Too dramatic. Too blood-sacrifice-y. Too “You’re not getting out of this one, Dowd.”
This one especially sucked.
The chaos monsters—twenty of them, if he’d counted right before the chanting started—looked like something spat out by a D-list demon god with bad taste and a love for ooze. Horns, claws, teeth in weird places. Too many eyeballs, and not enough common sense.
Bernard strained against the ropes as the lead freak—bigger, slimier, and apparently in charge—raised a jagged ceremonial knife above its head. The others screamed in some language Bernard had been tuning out for the past hour.
Then the knife came down.
Straight into his sternum.
He braced for pain. He’d tried not to scream when it happened, maybe leave this world with some shred of dignity. But instead—
Nothing.
Or, what could've happened if Tim hadn't made it in time to save Bernard.

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 Drake's life couldn't get any worse. His dad and friends were dead, so was his ex. And now Damian was making his life hell at the Manor. And Bruce was making sure he attended school, after enrolling him in a new one. What he didn't expect after missing a few days due to injuries was to meet a new student. Peter Parker was different to the others, a scholarship kid with a bright smile and a brain that Tim could respect. Maybe being friends with a civilian was crazy given everything, but he just needed something to him himself.
And now there was a new vigilante making waves in Gotham. One that no one could get a good look at. At least they weren't killing or targeting Robin like Red Hood had.

Summary
Tim Drake was someone that knew a lot of people, both in his civilian identity and when wearing his mask. He was someone that knew a lot of people, but not someone that people truly knew. Sure, there were people in his life that knew bits and pieces of himself, but no one knew everything and very few knew the same things if he could help it.
He was a puzzle that only himself held the answer key to.
So, what if his family and friends were given a cheat sheet?
