Summary
Tim should be excited, right?
He had asked for this, spent weeks hoping it would work out. Tim wanted this. Wanted to move in with the Waynes, wanted desperately to not be so alone anymore.
And yet, for some reason, he didn't feel better. It was as though he'd been set adrift, none of the anchors of his old life left to cling to. No rocks, no routines. And even though everything at Wayne Manor was better, it was so very different.
Or: When you're autistic, even the best changes can still be overwhelming. The Manor comes with more interaction, with more noise, with more life and Tim doesn't know how to handle it. Things come to a head with the first meltdown Tim's had outside of his carefully constructed hiding place.
The biggest change of all is that now there are people to catch Tim when he's falling.

Summary
“Mother? Father?” He called out softly, knocking again. Well, they were heavy sleepers, he knew that.
He quietly opened the door, squinting and peering into the darkness.
“Mother? Father? Merry Christmas,” he added, in hopes of not disappointing them with his tone of voice.
Silence.-
-Or: Timothy Drake’s Christmas doesn’t go exactly according to plan.

Just this once (let me be selfish) by Sentient_Mango (a_couple_possums)
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Tags
Summary
Maybe it was the lightheadedness from Blood loss, or perhaps it was the exhaustion catching up to him from the past couple of weeks, but he felt like crying.
He wasn't scared of death itself, of course not. But he felt so utterly alone. He had died many times, but not once was someone by his side when it happened.
Or
Tim never stays dead for long and never bothered to tell anyone about it. While bleeding out on a rooftop he allows himself one single act of selfishness and calls someone, he didn't think would care.Unfortunately he severely underestimated just how much he is loved. And the Bats will make damn sure he never forgets it again.

Summary
From this prompt: "Reverse Robins AU but instead of making Damian oldest and going down the line so on and so forth, it’s a bunch of assembled weird vigilante-crime men and their accidentally adopted autistic eight year old rich boy, Bruce, who calls himself “batkid” for reasons beyond their mutual understanding of expected kid behavior."
Disconnected one-offs in a Holy Age Swap, Batkid!AU ⭐

What happens if Catwoman catches a small Tim Drake when he's taking pictures of Batman and Robin?
Well, for one, she's definitely getting this kid a better winter jacket.
And after that, if he becomes her little Stray, well that's his choice.

Summary
Jason makes it into Titans Tower, easy. Beat Robin's ass, send a message, and go. Then the Robin is a kitten, and a little Bird is one thing, but he can't hardly beat up a little cat?
Or
"After breaking into the Titans Tower, it's time to let Robin know--! Guys, he's a cat. No, no I don't know what to do, he's a cat?!"
Or
So… beating the shit out of Robin; not going quite as planned. Jason's a little pissed about that one, to be honest.
Like, damn, sorry he'd pulled up with these hands, a gun, a knife, and 200 pounds of highly trained muscle and figured that would be enough, shit.
The kid is crafty, Jason knew that, Bruce must still have some standards, but this is absurd.
Then a paw hits him in the nose, and sets it to burning.
Agh, fuck.
He'd come here expecting a fight, not whatever this nonsense is!
He hadn't known, how could he have known?! How could all of his research have failed to yield that Timothy Drake, the shiny new Robin, was a little grey tabby kitten if you fucked it up just right?
Or
Tim also has a lot of thoughts that Jason can't hear.

Discovery (Enter the Drake, pt. 1) by Jacey (OncillaBrigade)

Summary
The thing is, as amazing as it is to personally know the world’s best detective and both of his sidekicks, it does mean every plan Tim has ever made for how to make a good impression on his biggest heroes is useless. He’s already made first impressions. And none of them were good!
You ever just been chilling in front of the news and found out your beloved babysitter/cool older friend, his idiot dad, and his little brother are your personal vigilante idols? Neither has Tim, but turns out there really is a first time for everything. Now he just has to figure out two things: how it's even possible for Bruce Wayne to be Batman, and how he'll survive dinner at Wayne Manor when he knows his hosts are Gotham's heroes.
Part of 73 Votes AU, stories set in a kinder, gentler timeline than DC gave us where Jason Todd was saved just in time and Tim Drake entered his found family a few years early (see notes below).

Summary
The conversation Tim remembered the most from his first few months as Robin strangely wasn’t the brief before his first patrol, or even the conversation where he’d convinced Batman to take him on. It was the one they’d had after the first time he’d been almost-kidnapped...
“What’s most important of all is that you don’t stop fighting. I will get to you but if that ever happens, Tim, if you’re ever taken, you will need to be the bravest you’ve ever been. You’ll need to remember that I’m on my way to get you, and you’ll need to try to rescue yourself anyway.”
Tim had really tried. He had. But he was so. Fucking. Tired.
Or: When a caged bird can't even sing, what's left for them?
Tim's been taken, and after everything it starts to feel like maybe the hardest part will be going back home.

Summary
They're going to have a good time.
The Kents are very kind people, Bruce knows, and they're the ones that offered him and Damian spend a few nights over anyway. With Clark, of course. And Tim and Kon. They should be prepared for having six heroes in their home all at once- and even if they're not, Bruce warned them. He said it might get cramped, that Damien will complain and Tim may stay up all hours of the night. He's not used to mid-western hospitality and if they make fools of themselves...well, he apologized early.
So, they're going to have a good time.

Summary
'It's an interesting feeling, knowing something is wrong with you. Especially when you’ve always known. From the earliest moment Tim can remember, he just knew something was off. It was like his brain had an extra part in it, blocking him from experiencing life as he should.'

Summary
"Tim sprinted to the end of the tunnel. He froze in shock when it abruptly opened into a large cavern but this one wasn’t like the dozen dark empty chambers Tim had walked through earlier. There was a giant penny and a dinosaur. A desk with a computer with more screens than Tim could count and a sleek black car was parked in the corner. That was the Batmobile, Tim had seen it dozens of times while Batwatching, he would know it anywhere. That meant that this was the Batcave. He was in the Batcave. It was real, he was right. He couldn’t believe it.
Tim started to look for his camera in his backpack frantically. He knows he packed it, If only he could remember which pocket it was in.
He is so focused on finding his camera that he misses the tell-tale sound of footsteps coming down a steel staircase. He doesn’t realize the cave isn’t as empty as it was a few seconds ago.
It isn’t until a voice loudly exclaims, “What the fuck?!”, that Tim notices that he is no longer alone."
OR
Tim Drake decides to dig a tunnel into the Batcave and gets caught. The outcome is a lot different that he expected.
