Summary
The rain came down in thick, relentless sheets, drenching Tim to the bone long before he even reached the house. Wind howled through the trees, rattling the iron gate behind him, and each gust sent icy water running down the back of his neck. He could barely hear his own footsteps over the storm, but he didn’t need to—he knew where he was going.
Wayne Manor loomed ahead, dark against the night sky, its towering silhouette broken only by the faint glow of a few scattered lights in the windows. The massive oak doors stood at the top of the stone steps, intimidating and unmoving, just as they had always been.
He should have brought an umbrella. Anyone with half a brain would have.
____Tim Drake knows he’s not like Batman, or like the old Robins. He’s not supposed to be.
But someone has to save Gotham, and someone has to remember why.
Tim has always been good at carrying too much—this time, it might break him. -

Summary
Timothy Drake was six years old when everyone forgot him and nothing was the same after that
***
I love you, Tim told his parents without words. Look at me, he begged a world that would never know his name. "Who are you?" Batman loomed over him, his very existence nothing to the man who meant everything to him.Tim turned around and ran.
He was forgotten again, just the lost wisp of a boy racing across the streets of a city too big for his tiny feet. Everything burned, from the back of his eyes to the hollow place in his chest, and he kept running. He ran and ran until his feet ached and his mind couldn’t keep up and the stars stopped mocking him. He didn’t know how far he ran. He didn’t know how he got back home to an empty manor where no one greeted him and no one missed him.
He flopped backwards onto his bed and stared up at his ceiling. “I made a friend,” he whispered, and nobody heard him. The universe spun and spun, and Tim was lost to its endless spiral.

Summary
“For the record, I totally didn’t send this,” Jason declares, resting his fists judgmentally on his hips and wrinkling the bridge of his nose as he takes in the envelope’s exterior details. “I wouldn’t embarrass myself by printing the address for Wayne Manor in Comic Sans. And I definitely wouldn’t use whatever fresh hell that return address is printed in.”
Taking the bagged envelope in hand again, Bruce moves to the Batcomputer and pulls up the folder of fonts on the system. He glances between the envelope and the sample screen for the font he’d already suspected would be a match.
But clocking the font name gives him a great deal of pause. “Jokerman,” he finally declares in a growl through clenched teeth.
Tim, as it turns out, may not be Jack Drake’s son, but Bruce Wayne’s already got kids he picked out personally. That’s okay though, because Tim’s got a plan for how to deal with this revelation—it’s not like he needs acknowledgement from a second father that doesn’t want him, anyway.

Summary
Tim's parents faked their deaths and fled the country years ago, but neglected to take him with them. He spent some time on the streets, and now at 16, he makes a living as a fortune teller, stalking and hustling the shit out of Gotham's elite by telling them eerily accurate fortunes based on the information he gathers about them.
His life is peculiar but he wouldn't change a thing. When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist. But it seems they just won't leave him alone..

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)
