Summary
Tim is tired. He tells himself that's why he didn't jump in to save Captain Boomerang. It's probably even true. But standing on the rooftop, frozen and numb, it just feels like an excuse.
It isn't Batman who finds him first.

Summary
In the world where soulmates are a rare occurrence, Tim Drake is one of the lucky ones (or is it a curse after all?).
In this world, Jason Todd still dies.
The aftermath might seem similar, but how similar can it be if you look through distorted rose-colored glasses?

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?
----
Or, The Batfamily and the core members of Young Justice find themselves watching Tim Drake's life...as told through songs from Epic the Musical
[Goes from him becoming Robin to the end of the Red Robin run]

Summary
“You were—you are—” Tim fumbled, glancing helplessly at Bruce, who still hadn’t moved, before rushing on. “You’re kind of… incredible.”
Damian’s brain locked up completely.
Bruce made a low noise — something like a choked cough — but didn’t otherwise comment.
The back of Damian’s neck burned. He looked down sharply at his plate.
“I’m not,” he muttered.

Summary
“Brother … stop!”
“It’s us! … family.”
“Snap out of it! What’s wrong with you?”
The words intertwine with the insane ramblings within his own mind.
There’s a blade in his hand. It’s resting precariously over Damian’s pulse point.
He digs it in deeper.
He could kill him now. He really wants to.
His eyes meet Ra’s, waiting for permission.

Turns out the Robin mantle wasn’t the only title that Tim inherited.

Summary
There’s a demon problem in Gotham. Again.
But this time, it’s not Batman, or the other magical users who gets the call — it’s Nyxie. Pop idol by day, demon hunter by bloodline, and the reigning champion of glitter-based exorcisms.
Armed with cursed lyrics, a microphone that doubles as a glaive, and zero patience for bureaucracy (or possessed vending machines), Nyxie’s been sent to clean up the city before things escalate. Too bad the escalation’s already here — and it wears a cape.
Because Gotham’s vigilantes? They’re weird. Like “might-be-demons-themselves” weird. And one of them — Red Robin, the broody genius with entirely too much brain and bone structure — keeps showing up at all the worst times. And worst of all? He’s kind of cute.
Demons are multiplying, secrets are piling up, and if Nyxie’s going to save the city, she’ll have to team up with a family of shadowy vigilantes who may or may not be entirely human (or so she thinks).
Also, someone tell Batman not to touch her stuff unless he wants to be glitterfied.

Summary
For Timothy Drake, obsession is far worse than compulsion.
Compulsivity is action. Action can be taken and completed at any time, it’s mindless. It’s repetitive movement, expected and anticipated more often than not.
Obsession is far worse. Obsession plagues the mind and overtakes rationality. It spins spiderwebs in the brain and warps your very being. It can spawn from the simplest thing and then spiral into an all encompassing essentiality.
TLDR; Tim needs to know everything, Damian is hard to know and the world makes it impossible. Plus a stroll on the darker side of Gotham!

Summary
Tim was smart. A fucking genius, and yet he couldn’t figure out how to fix his stupid, broken mind. So he’d outsourced, found a therapist with raving reviews that could handle his extremely specific trauma.
Because the world? It definitely didn’t end.
And Tim? Tim totally, absolutely, and without a doubt did not have a single problem processing that.
What a fucking lie.

Summary
"You know what Tim needs?" Dick says, with the kind of smile that usually precedes terrible decisions. "A sparring partner who fights dirty."
Enter Jason Todd: formerly dead, currently terrifying, and definitely someone who learned to fight in back alleys rather than dojos.
Tim would like to file a complaint with management. Unfortunately, management is Bruce, and Bruce is conveniently absent.
Featuring: Damian's brutally honest commentary, Dick's questionable mentoring techniques, and Tim discovering that "educational" is just another word for "painful."
