BUT WHO CAN GROW ME A NEW BROTHER? by solistrix

Summary
There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays that whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.
Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.

Summary
Janet Drake was a storyteller.
She loved narrating different tales to Tim. Every night without fail, before little Tim went to bed, she would tell him a story. Tim loved hearing all of them, they took him to places he could never imagine. He loved every single story that spilled from his mom's lips.
Except for The Adventures of The Naughty Boy Who Had No Name.
Whenever Tim misbehaved, Janet would make him sit down on his knees, then she would sit in front of him, sometimes on a chair, sometimes on the floor, and she would tell him stories of a boy who was a bad child.
A boy who never listened to his parents. A boy who was arrogant and selfish. And in every story, the boy always ended up dead.
Tim was smart. He knew when the stories were about him.
Janet always loved visuals. She described in detailed length the many different ways the boy died. Gruesome, painful, disgusting ways.
Janet was an excellent storyteller. And Tim was afraid of those stories coming to life.

“You’ve got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears.”Prophecy| Sewer | Taking Accountability_______
That is what Tim had been doing tonight.
Protecting Jason Todd. Protecting Robin.
He just. Well, Tim hadn’t realized that in all four thousand one hundred and seventy-seven days of his life, he had never learned how to swim. Why would he need to? Gotham may be surrounded by water, but it’s water that’s more polluted than Los Angeles and the Mississippi River combined.
Still, his lack of competency would’ve been useful to remember before he decided to leap off a boat pier in an attempt to escape a very angry, very trigger-happy Falcone Family enforcer.

Summary
While on patrol, Jason Todd finds a tiny, shivering puppy behind a dumpster. He can’t just leave it there. Bruce shouldn’t be the only one who can take in strays.
Tim Drake did not expect to be transformed into a dog while stalking Batman and Robin. He certainly didn’t expect Robin to take him home. Tim really should tell them he’s not actually a dog but they keep cuddling him and it’s not like anyone will notice he’s gone.

Summary
“If I had the money Bruce Wayne did, I’d be halfway out of Gotham and buying a house in the Bahamas.”
“I’m pretty sure he already has one.” Tim answered back, “A few actually.”
“Point taken.” She leaned against the back, “I’m just saying. Idolizing rich people, protecting them. It’s pointless when you are closer to living in Crime Alley than Bruce Wayne ever will be, take a close look at yourself.”

Ten year old Tim ends up getting adopted by 15 year old Jason who never tried stealing the tires off the batmobile. It's very different this time around. For everyone.

Summary
During the Joker's latest attack, five boys went missing. Of them, only Tim has figured out how to survive under the Joker's twisted version of "care." As escape attempts pile up, Tim realizes that his freedom hinges on Batman and Robin coming to his rescue—but even they seem unable to find him with the Joker having gone underground.
Jason knows it’s only a matter of time before Bruce realizes the mistake he's made by taking him in. Labelled as "reckless" and "emotional," his newly-discovered birth mom might be his last chance at family.
These two converging roads were always destined to meet eventually.

Summary
Tim does put some space between him and Dick this time, all too aware of how nauseating his pheromones are when they rot like this. As if a carton of milk was left open in the summer heat. Tim knows what it means for Jason to spend the night with Mr. Wayne and it jolts terror through him like he was injected with it. Thinking about what Jason had to endure last night while Tim was selfishly taking advantage of his big brother is enough to make vomit rise in the back of his throat. It’s only the thought of Dick attempting to clean up the mess that stops him from actually throwing up.
Dick sits up, scent pumping out purposefully calm and soothing, the honey taking on an earthier sort of cadence. It does nothing to ease the overwhelming guilt flooding through Tim. This is his fault, he knows it just as surely as he knows that he’s a bad pup. A bad boy. A bad friend who got Jason alone with Mr. Wayne, in his bed.
Tim’s Daddy doesn’t have a nest, but he’s sure it’s all the same.

Summary
Tim took to the streets, knowing the dangers and consequences if he got caught. His camera hung from his neck like a noose, a constant presence that would eventually be his downfall.
And it was, because after three years of careful observation, photos and stalking, he messed up.
At the age of thirteen, Tim was going to die because the flash of his camera went off. Pathetic, really.

Summary
Timothy Drake-Wayne, ruthless teenaged CEO of two fortune 500 companies, vigilante extraordinaire with the alias of Red Robin swinging through Gotham’s skyline, and oh, who's also known as Dragon from the DSO.
He would very much like to point out that it’s his parents’ fault why and how he became a government agent in the first place, which, if Bruce finds out, he would undoubtedly have an aneurysm of epic proportions–cause of death: reckless child.
Granted, the Waynes and their friends and the honorary aunts and uncles are used to him coming and going for long periods of time because "he’s so busy running two companies, you understand," but if his family knows he’s shooting zombies in the face in his free time, well, they’ll lock him up in the manor and throw the key into the ocean.

Summary
Janet Drake never wanted kids.
Janet’s parents were so insistent that she be kept in the public eye to distract from the shady doings of Drake Pharmaceuticals at the time, that she had caught the eyes of many greedy men and women. Janet was not going to allow her son to face the same wandering eyes and greedy hands. Timothy was to stay in on the weekend and before and after work hours while others are out and about, but could roam the grounds while others are at work or school.
He is to remain unseen and unknown.
Nobody knows the drakes have a child.
AKA
Prompt: Tim Drake's parents pass away when he’s young and since he’s used to surviving on his own he lives in Drake manor by himself for a few years (while stalking the bats ofc) until he needs something or has some dire info on a case that without it, Batman wouldn't be able to figure it out. I'm thinking he walks up to Wayne Manner wearing his best ratty clothes and just knocks on the door. Either Alfred or little Jason open the door and introduce Tim to Bruce. Cue interrogation, then an adoption attempt at which Tim runs away. Cat and mouse. Tiny Tim running through park row like he's a ‘street kid’. (I'm making it up as I go along)

Summary
Tim thunked his head down on his desk, letting out a groan of frustration. All in all, it’s clear that Tim is rather… lacking with a steady adult in his life, which is probably his fault somehow, anyway, so he shouldn’t complain. When he picked his head up, his vision was level with his window. There wasn’t much to see, just the gardens out back, his mother’s rose bushes lining the property, and Wayne Manor in the distance. Tim sat up completely straight as a thought struck him.
Batman.
or
Tim’s class had been tasked with interviewing someone they admired.
