Summary
“Bruce, you would report parents like those to the police. And by the time I was with the Titans, I would too. And still, Bruce, still, I took it when you hurt me because—because I don’t know. Because maybe, somewhere along the way, I started pretending you weren’t my father.”
"Hurt you," Jason echoes, and now his voice isn't raspy because he's pretending to be Batman. Bruce hurt Dick. The first son, the favourite, the one most like him.
Bruce hurt him?
"Do you still not understand what you did? What you keep doing? ‘It is what it looks like.’ Funny how I only realised it after my death, after you beat me up and sent me away from my family.”
Dick stands up, all stiff movements. The light from outside hits him directly, and Jason realises he’s in a nightmare.
Jason was—he was dreaming. This—this man, hunched and shaking and bleeding—cannot be Dick. His brother’s face could never be dripping with blood from his father’s fists.
“Look. You’ve made me a victim,” Dick tells him.
OR
Dick finally realises Batman is an abusive piece of shit, and so do his brothers. What follows is never that simple.

Summary
Timothy Jackson Drake was a genius.
Certifiably, he’d been tested. Twice.
He was also smart.
He had his secret hide out office, his Batman photography hobby, and a foolproof system for managing his well-meaning but often absent parents.
Everything was working exactly as planned.
Then Super Boy Prime punched a hole through reality and Jason Todd clawed his way out of his grave.
Which was good. But decidedly not Tim’s problem.
Or it wasn’t until Tim accidentally photographed a dead Robin wandering around Gotham on Halloween night.
When he couldn’t lead the zombie to Batman, he did what any logical eleven-year-old would do: he solved the puzzle, fed the zombie, and somehow ended up with an overly protective shadow who thought crossing state lines required supervision.
Rude.
Tim was starting to regret his curiosity about riddles.
Timothy Jackson Drake was a genius.
No one could disagree.
He had papers!
But smart?
Yeah, Jason would argue that one.

Summary
After fifty-three hours awake and a mission that leaves him with another wound to stitch, Tim Drake realizes the exhaustion goes bone deep. It's a terrifying silence where his feelings used to be, an emotional void that leaves him feeling more like a machine than a man, and a danger to his family.
But his carefully constructed plan is shattered when Kon-El lands on his balcony, haunted by nightmares from a past he can't escape. He's looking for a safe harbor, unaware he's come to a friend who is already drowning.

Summary
Tim wasn't part of the Bat family. Well, not really anyway. With Bruce's return from the time-stream, Damian's acceptance into the family, and Jason still lurking around - Tim's role has morphed to one of a glorified secretary.
He convinced himself that it was okay. That it was what he deserved - after all, he did stalk his way into their lives, he couldn't expect much from people who never really wanted him in the first place. But when his eighteenth goes ignored, and the people he thought he knew show him just how much he was worth to them - a fat zero - Tim decides it's time for a fresh start.
Packing his things, he takes off to Central City, hoping to find peace and rest in a place where no one knows him as the Replacement or the stalker, but just Tim, the genius young man with a bright future as an investigator - and new member of Team Flash.
But will his family miss him? Will he find acceptance in his new role? Or will Tim find a new destiny entirely?

Summary
Tim Drake remembers Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Well. That’s not entirely true. He remembers Thomas Wayne and Martha Kane.
He remembers back before Gotham had turned into hell on earth, before there were new crazies every other week, before the only emotion the entire population of Gotham felt was fear. Gotham was never perfect, but the Gotham Tim returned to was a far cry worse than the one he had left.
Although, Tim muses to himself, that was a good 50 years ago.

The Bats had been vaguely aware of the Red Hood's rise to power, but it's not until his attack on Titans Tower leaves Tim in critical condition that they realize the up-and-coming crime lord holds a grudge. Figuring out why, exactly, involves muddy hands, sleepless nights, and help from friends... and all signs point to a monster whose laugh is bloody.

Summary
“Tim?"
He pulled back just enough to look at you, his blue eyes darker now, the fog of his earlier exhaustion replaced with something sharper, more intent. “Stay,” he said again.
How could you possibly say no to him?
His lips continued their exploration on your neck, making you shiver as you felt wetness pooling between your legs. You couldn't process what was happening. You were in bed with your work crush as he touched you in a way that co-workers shouldn't. You were half expecting yourself to wake up from a dream.

Summary
Jason paused at this. Huffed a laugh. “Yeah, okay Timmy. What the hell. Fine. I’ll work with you.” Better to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Or: Jason agrees to work with Tim to track down the Joker, but he notices the lies — and, well, can he really chalk them all up to paranoia? Meanwhile, Tim uncovers some corruption within Drake Industries.

Summary
“So what’re you doing here, Conner?”
Kon frowned. “What do you mean?”
Tim gave another shrug. “I mean, I’m only here ‘cause my dad can’t make it and he asked me to make an appearance for him.” He leaned across the table toward Kon, curious. “So what about you? I know most of the reporters that like to frequent these events, and I’ve never seen you around here before.”
“Aw, well,” Kon reached up to scratch at his cheek, trying to figure out the best way to word Superman is away on a space mission and is worried about his wife's tendency to get into astonishing amounts of trouble when left to her own devices, especially in Gotham, and also is probably, like, trying to do some kinda bonding thing? So he let me borrow his “disguise”, his literal name, and his job so I could tag along with her. “I’m filling in for my older brother?”
-
When yet another Gotham gala goes horribly wrong, it's left up to Kon and his new civilian friend Tim Drake to solve a murder, clear a name, and catch a culprit before it's too late.
(All without giving away their secret identities, of course.)
It's a good thing the infamous Detective Tim Drake and his faithful partner, Kon Watson, are on the case.

Summary
"Tim had seen countless bodies. Countless victims of one tragedy or another.
Yet somehow after all of that it never got easier, he mused to himself hunched over the body of a girl in an alleyway located in the seedier part of Gotham, his face scrunched up into a mixture of exhaustion and determination."
Tim Drake is no longer Robin, in fact he isn't even a vigilante, instead working at the GCPD as a detective and dealing with uncertainty regarding his new path in life.
Essentially a detective story about Tim settling into his job and Damian seems to turn up quite a bit.

Summary
Today's the day Danny officially introduces Damian to Sam and Tucker. Besides the war crime her roommate calls coffee, what could possibly go wrong? Yeah, she probably just jinxed herself, but she's not going to let that slow her down.
Damian just wants his family to back off a bit, but with how overbearing they can be. It's more than likely too much to ask for. Especially from Dick, apparently.
