    Summary

    Tim was never meant to be Robin. He knew that- he was just a stand-in, someone to be used until Batman was better or another Robin came along- he wasn't family. So, he hid his identity from everyone. No one knew who the third Robin was, not even Batman. Why is it, then, that the Waynes so interested in Timothy Drake? And why now, of all times?

    OR: The Batfamily have been trying to lure Agent C back into the family ever since he ran away. It's a slow-going process. In the meantime, Damian has latched onto Timothy Drake, and is teaming up with Dick to try and adopt him. Whether he wants to be adopted or not.

    Summary

    “They’ll find out,” Tim whispered, voice cracking. “They always do.”

    Bruce’s expression softened. He crouched closer, lowering his voice. “You’re not in trouble. You mixed medication with alcohol. That’s all. You’re not the first person to make that mistake.”

    Tim gave a hollow laugh that dissolved into a cough. “Not—not a mistake.”

    OR:

    Tim mixes his meds with alcohol. The fallout is immediate.

    I'm Still Alive (when everyone who loves me has died) by

    Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types  

    08 Nov 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    In the weeks since his parents' death, his take over as CEO of Drake Industries, and basically a complete upheaval of life as he knows it, Tim Drake has been doing everything he can to gain the approval of his company, the press, and the general public. Easy, right?
    Except, apparently, there's something more sinister going on beneath DI's shiny veneer. And now Tim's fighting for his life literally, not just metaphorically. Good thing the Bats are there to protect him. But why are these people so interested in his life? Seriously, don't they have better things to do? So long as Tim makes it out alive and the Bats never find out he knows their secret, everything will be fine. Too bad nothing ever goes right for Tim.

    OR

    Tim Drake is a super badass CEO/detective/genius, but even the most resourceful of 16-year-olds needs some help when a crime lord wants them dead.

    The Dead Can Speak (Can You Hear Them?) by

    13 Apr 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    “Stealing isn’t good.” Tim stuffed a fry in his mouth,

    “Breaking and entering isn’t either.” Hood added, “And you just did both.”

    “You’re literally a murderer.”

    “Serial murderer.” Nightwing corrected,

    Tim squinted at them, “Oh, my bad. That makes it so much better.”

    Or

    Tim is born with the ability to see and communicate with the dead. It’s both a blessing and a curse.

    Northern Attitude (I Was Raised on Little Light) by

    Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types  

    09 Jan 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    It's not *Tim's* fault Batman slept with his mom sixteen years ago, or Tim's fault that Bruce Wayne regrets signing away his parental rights fifteen years ago, but Jack Drake sure thinks it is. Now Damian is bugging him about cows and family and Jason and Dick won't stop kidnapping him and Bruce is acting like court orders don't matter, like he doesn't have a huge bat-shaped secret to protect from literally the whole freaking world.

    Why is Tim the only functioning adult in this situation?

    This was supposed to be coated in angst, but it fell in the fluff bucket instead. (So, update, some people are saying this may not be as fluffy as I am advertising it. I plead the 5th.)

    Summary

    Tim's parents faked their deaths and fled the country years ago, but neglected to take him with them. He spent some time on the streets, and now at 16, he makes a living as a fortune teller, stalking and hustling the shit out of Gotham's elite by telling them eerily accurate fortunes based on the information he gathers about them.
    His life is peculiar but he wouldn't change a thing. When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.

    or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist. But it seems they just won't leave him alone..

    Summary

    Recovery (noun)

    1. a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength.

    2. the action or process of regaining possession or control of something stolen or lost.

    Or: in a universe where Jason wasn't killed by the Joker, where Tim's parents die on a plane accident when he's 13 years old, his uncle Eddie steps up to take care of him per his parents request.
    Once Eddie shows his true colors, Tim will have to fight not just only to survive, but to take back what has been stolen from him. It’s a good thing he won’t have to do it alone.

    23 Jul 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    "What did you throw at him?"
    "A week of a now wasted experiment," the child grumbles, flipping a small container over in his hand, "father will be most displeased."
    "What?" Tim furrows his brow.
    "I was studying bee culture," the stranger gives a spectacular sigh.
    Tim sputters.
    "You threw a bee at him?"
    ...
    He is halfway home, later, when he realizes.
    Batman and Robin have been facing off against some sort of meta criminal who can control bees.
    The kid who keeps bees in his backpack is Damian Wayne.
    Robin.
    And he's kind of an asshole.

     

    OR

     

    When Damian joins the Wayne family early, there are consequences. While Jason lives, Tim's parents both are murdered overseas and he is left alone - for now.

    You Cannot Breathe Enough Before Death by

    Fandom: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics)

    02 Jun 2025

    Summary

    There is a Russian phrase, Перед смертью не надышишься, or ‘you cannot breathe enough before death’. Tim wished he could tell you it was a cool idiom, but it was not. Although, Tim had always found the phrasing interesting even if it had a different meaning.

    Because it was true, no amount of breathing could stop death from coming.

    Tags
    Summary

    The Drakes have never been kind. Life has not allowed Tim to be so either. But Tim knows the Waynes are kind. He’s seen them at galas and in the capes. He used to think Batman would come save him. By age twelve, Tim has been planning his escape for years. Batman is not coming to save him. When Jason dies, Tim uses the distractions of grief and the press to disappear. Tim Drake doesn’t exist. The Crow, information broker and potential Gotham cryptid, begins operating out of the Narrows. Ruthless and a little unhinged, with a soft spot for helping civilians, Crow makes good money. Enough to keep his network of informants paid and a nest to sleep in anyway. When Red Hood reaches out for information, almost three years after Tim's escape, Crow must oblige. Jason, upon seeing that the entity that scares the villains and crime lords of Gotham looks like a twelve year old kid, can feel his adoption sense tingling. Time to call in the reinforcements.

    “I have time.”

    Tim does not, in fact, have time.

    But it’s Nightwing who is calling. What’s he going to do—say no? Preposterous. That's a crime in and of itself. Tim would rather swallow nails and kiss his mother goodnight than say no to Dick Grayson. “How can I help you, Nightwing?”

    Burn Alive or Burn the Bridge by

    24 Apr 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    The boy had dark gray circles under his eyes that he’d clearly covered up with makeup, but his unusually pale skin made the contrast too steep for foundation. He was also way too thin. It was all coming together to create a more unfortunate image in which Tim was silently struggling, but saving face for the sake of his image. It was admirable, if not incredibly unhealthy.

    Dick says he just needs time. Jason says he’s rich, so he can’t be that sad.
    Bruce says he’s depressed.

    OR

    Tim thinks he’s being investigated by the Bats because he's a genius who secretly solves their cold cases, but an idiot when it comes to anything social. Bruce actually just wants to make sure Tim’s okay because he's a teenaged CEO with dead parents, and Bruce sees too much of himself in him.

    Summary

    “Batman was getting dangerously close to crossing a line that Tim had been so sure he would never cross.

    “It became obvious to Tim that Batman needed a Robin. He was this close to tracking down Dick just to get him to take back the role. It would have exposed that Tim knew the truth, but it would have been worth it. And if Dick wouldn't do it, if it really came down to it? He’d throw on tights if he had to, drag Batman back to the light himself.

    “Batman needed a Robin. And maybe that's why Tim was so relieved when Spoiler, a young vigilante clad in purple, showed up out of the blue and refused to leave Batman alone.”

    Or,

    Seventeen year old Tim Drake, CEO and stalker extraordinaire, has known the truth about the Bats ever since he was a kid. But he never put on the Robin suit.

    Following a gala and breakout at Arkham, Tim reluctantly finds himself drawn into the Batfamily’s orbit. And although no secret stays buried forever, nobody could have predicted the disaster to come.

    Or,
