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?

Summary
Tim is salty.
Very salty.
Ra’s picked the wrong day to fuck with him because he hasn’t slept in 53 hours and he’s out of coffee and honestly Tim might just say fuck it to B’s no killing rule because he’s about to murder this sonofvabitch-
Yeah, Tim’s salty… and Zatanna owes him a favor… -

Summary
When Ra's al Ghul reaches out to the bats, asking for them to mediate a meeting between the high ranking members of the League of Assassins that he wanted to hold in Gotham, they agree, hoping for a chance to gleam information from the shadow society.
Tim doesn't show up though, at least not in the way that they had expected.Podfic: https://youtu.be/faovYgxa2ts?si=Yn4I1H_H0oNh960m

Summary
Tim spares himself just a moment of grief, for all the people who aren’t going to live through the coming fight, for maybe the whole city. A dragon that large is powerful enough to drop Wayne Tower and the entire block surrounding in about a minute, to level all of Gotham in hours. There are going to be casualties, and all he can do is pray to things he isn’t sure he believes in that his family won’t be among them.
He shoves those feelings down, though, as quickly as he can. He lifts a hand to his ear, voice urgent as he bolts towards the Batburger. “Oracle, issue a city-wide evac order now! Everyone else, do not engage!”
“Is that a fucking dragon?!”

Summary
“Tim knows he should be moving, knows that he shouldn’t be letting the smog climb up his boots and try to consume him. And the self-preservation was trying to get him to move, it was tugging at the muscles in his legs, the tendons in his hands to rev his bike and speed down the tunnel. But the smell of the toxin, of the poison that the crazy in him was still addicted to, was still as sweet as he remembered.
A part of him missed it. Missed it so bad that he didn’t know he inhaled a lungs worth of it till he choked on it a few seconds later, snapping him back to reality. The stomach dropping, eyes widening as the reality of what he’s just done set in..
Shit.”

Summary
Bruce knew that something was going to happen tonight, sooner or later.
The four boys (and they were all in the manor tonight, god bless) had been sharing hushed whispers, especially with Tim - who had been the only one to have noticed the fact that Bruce could see all of this. There was a reason why the two were called alike so often, they could read the other near-instantly.
Tonight, Tim seemed nervous.
...
Or: the batfamily is 50% better than canon, and Tim explains what the fuck happened in Red Robin.

Summary
He could clean every artefact, wear every coat, or speak every line, but she wouldn’t be there with him. He had to find her coats in her hamper, had to watch interviews and childhood videos to burn his father’s laugh into his memory. Dana was there, Dana helped, but Dana wasn’t her. All he could do was grow his hair out and look in the mirror, letting the public call him ‘Janet?’ so that he could think that she was standing behind him.
The owl was gone, he realised. He felt damp.
…Oh, those were tears falling down his cheeks.
…
Or: Tim Drake; adopted son of Bruce Wayne, half-Korean, a master of galas, and a boy who just misses his parents.
