Summary
“I hereby declare the human race officially extinct.” Bruce stated, his voice leaving no room for objections. And inevitably, there would be objections. vampires were a stubborn species, clinging to old beliefs until enough evidence piled up that they couldn't possibly deny it. Until a paradigm shift was forced into their laps, and they could no longer deny, could no longer stick to their traditional proprieties, they remained stubborn. Vampires had to be forced into seeing the truth, and that's something Bruce had realised a while back. He knew vampires would not accept that humans were completely gone until it was undeniable
Still, now, in the eyes of the law, all humans were officially extinct, a call that should have been made years ago.
Chaos erupted.
OR: Humans go extinct, except teenager Tim drake. Vampires think all humans are extinct. He survives purely from dumb luck and his own survival skills. What will happen when human-loving, adoption-obsessed Bruce Wayne, an ancient Vampire who yearns for a new child, finds out?
OR OR: Tim is the last human alive, adoption ensues

Summary
Thankfully, Drake makes quick work of his tie, and Damian can breathe again. Then his vest is off, and his dress shirt, and his skin is free of the horrible, awful scratchiness he'd endured all night. He stills feels dirty, like theres a coat of grime on his skin, but he knows in his soul that showering would make it worse. Feeling the water against his skin, his hands pruning, his feet getting wet, the thought makes him shudder.
His tears have dried, and the consistent flapping has stopped, but he can feel himself rocking back and forth, and can't find it in himself to stop.
/OR/ Damian has undiagnosed autism, and the Batfamily doesn't realize until it all starts to overflow
*Rated Teen and Up for minor language and self-deprecating and ableist talk

Summary
Honestly, he usually enjoyed Dick’s affinity for physical touch, but he was tired. And the pressure in his chest never really left. If Dick would just stop touching him, telling him what he can and can’t do-
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Dick’s voice cut trough Tim’s thoughts.
Tim flinched out of Dick’s grasp, his eyes blown wide as his breathing picked up. He needs out. He needs to get out of here, he needs Dick to stop fucking talking to him, he needs-

Summary
Tim Drake's one and only dream is to meet Batman. And when he is gifted a camera after one of his parents' many business trips, Tim decides that will be impossible to achieve if he stays in the comfort of his own home. From then on, the rest is history, including becoming his own Robin, not associated with Batman, which confuses the hell out of any of the associated Waynes, Todds, or Graysons.

Tim Drake fanboys wayyyyyy too close to the sun, maybe even burning his wings a little bit in the process.

Summary
Tim knew Jason was alive, there was no body, thus no proof of death. He knew Jason was alive, because somewhere out there in the wide depth of the multiverse, he knew his spark still shone. He knew this to be true, and he was going to find him. He was going to prove that he wasn't losing his mind (even if it felt like it) that he could do this.
But what will he do now that he found a way to travel to a whole other universe? Will he find his way to Jason? Will he be able to go home again? Will Jason even want to come with him? And why is he starting to lose so much time again?
But more importantly, who are all these people that seem so set on making sure he is ok? He's fine. Completely fine. Even if the voices are getting worse and he feels a bit like he is breaking. He'll be fine, he just needs to get Jason home. Then everyone can be normal again.
Or: the Tim focused sequel about found family and rekindling bonds. A character study into trauma, and a deep dive into Tim and Jason's complicated sibling bond.
Follow up to Stray Little Bat (but works as a stand alone). Going to be super slow to update until SLB is done, but I wanted to get it in chronologically.

Summary
“Our son,” she answered the unspoken question.
The feeling of intruding rapidly grew into something unbearable as the Bat seemed to sway back, just slightly - the closest to a flinch he was sure he’d ever see from the vigilante - at her confirmation. Then– he stepped forward, kneeling slowly, like he was afraid he’d scare the kid - his son - if he moved too suddenly, until they were eye-to-eye with each other and an honest-to-god smile appeared on the Dark Knight’s face.
It was small, barely there, and so gentle and loving that Tim felt sick.
He shouldn’t be watching this.
This–
This wasn’t for him.
It had never been for him, and his skin crawled and his teeth ached with how hard he grit them from the sheer amount of guilt and self-loathing at the fact that he’d witnessed this at all.
-or, after seeing something he shouldn’t, Tim Drake, nine years old, has all the pieces needed to solve the biggest mystery in Gotham: who is Batman?

Summary
He doesn’t know where he’s heading, if he even has a purpose waiting for him somewhere in the middle of the earth and between the soil and bones and decay.
Doesn’t much care, really, between the road stretching in front of him and the deliberate quiet inside the car.(his restart is inevitable in the same way death is—he sees the shape of it, feels it like wind in his hair, a promise of something, and it all feels very foreign and store-bought, like it doesn’t quite belong to him, but oh, he starves for it.
His heart is a beast of hunger, and it eats desire and respect and anger and anything and everything in front of him—it whispers to him, later, with its bloody arteries and coated in foreign blood, ‘do you feel it, too?’ it speaks in low tones and foreign tongues, pumping, ‘the hunger?’. Jason doesn’t know how to satisfy it, anymore, with his too-soft hands.)
or; jason finds a life somewhere between leaving gotham and an unknown island (with people he once knew, getting to know again and again, further) and gotham all over again (with people he will always know, with his family, with his heart in his hands)

Summary
Tim was completely still, staring up at Dick with a kind of steely determination that was completely out of place on his young face. “You’re his brother. I thought that if there was anyone who loved him like that, it would be you.”
Dick tried to swallow, but his mouth and throat were completely dry. “It doesn’t matter,” he said hoarsely. “You can love someone to the stars and back, and it doesn’t mean you get to keep them.”
Love alone wasn’t enough, had never been enough, would never be enough. If it were, then Dick wouldn’t have had to be dragged away, kicking and screaming, from every great loss of his life. If it were, then all of Dick’s howling grief would have meant something.
—
There’s an entrance to the underworld beneath Gotham City. Tim is certain that the only way to stop Batman’s rampage is to give Bruce his son back. Dick just wants a second chance with his brother. It's an old song.
