Summary
“I just don’t understand why whatever I do, he has to have a problem with it.” Tim huffed, losing his mental fight to be mature and giving up on pretending to focus on the work he was supposed to be doing.
“Tim,” Dick sighed, pausing for a moment, seeming to mull something over. He shifted in his spot leaning against the wall and his eyes moved to lock with Tim’s. His voice lowered. “How much do you know about Talia?”
“What does that have to do with me?”
Dick huffed again, definitely a laugh. “You heard him in the transport. Don’t you think, maybe, you guys might have a little in common?”

Summary
When Cassie had called him this morning, Tim hadn't expected to find a child left at the Titans' doorstep and he expected even less that he was the biological father of said child.
Of course, since Tim was apparently determined to outdo Batman in every aspect, he just had to get his own secret lovechild (except this one was a newborn and hopefully not an assassin?).
And because things couldn't get worse, the signed note that came with the baby didn't help him discover who was the culprit out of the three potential fathers in the slightest.
Here's the thing, Dick had a thing for Redheads and Tim apparently had a thing for men named Danny.
Or : Tim is Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia, except the potential fathers all have the same name.
Happy Tim Drake Struggles Day to all those who celebrate!

Hey everyone! I’m Jay, I’m 11, and I wanna be a superhero when I grow up.

Summary
In their world, people were connected by the marks on their skin, soulmarks. The different colors had different meanings, from platonic and familial to romantic, but one thing that stood firm between them all was that when a soulmate died, the mark of the survivor turned black, the flesh raised like a scar. Tim had felt six of his soulmates die before he had turned eighteen.
He had never expected that the first of his soulmates would come back from the dead, seeking to harm him for wearing the suit that the other had died in. It was because of this that he never told the other of the connection, even as they started getting along years down the line.
Now, a mission where Tim has to call in another of his marks leads him to having to do just that. -

Summary
As he meandered through the hallways, he barely acknowledged the whispers until two words caught his ear.
“Gutter rat.”
He turned from his course and walked straight to the freshman douche who said it. Without hesitation or thought, he pulled his fist back and punched him.
It was the same punch Jason taught him how to use.
He punched him again. Then he couldn’t stop. All he could hear was the sound of fist on flesh. All he could see was blood pooling under his fists.
Someone pulled him away, but the haze of anger and grief still stayed. He didn’t struggle. Numb to his bones.
He wondered if this was how Jason had felt, in that warehouse before he died.

Summary
Tim had always been an odd kid, at least in Bruce’s eyes.
Of course, all his children were ‘odd’ in some way or another, but he didn’t love them any less. Tim is dedicated, he’s intelligent, and he’s extremely observant, but something had always prickled in the back of Bruce’s mind, even if he didn’t always realize it. (Though signs of a past involved with something were there: the attentiveness, the strategy skills, and his pre-existing combat capabilities. Perhaps it was easier to just utilize the skills and to ignore their origins. Easier for Bruce, at least, during the time Tim first became Robin.)===
Or, Tim Drake wasn’t always Tim Drake; he was once Aiden Clark. In a futile attempt to get him away from the phantoms, his parents sent him off to live with some old friends in the familiar city of Gotham.
Despite this, Aiden kept in contact with his friends, who want to visit him. This leads to him finally telling the Waynes about his past identity. He doesn’t mention the phantoms; not like he sees them all that often anymore, so why bring it up?
After all, what’s the worst that could happen?(It will all make sense, I swear)

Summary
"Neither of us will be missed," Tim says with a manic smile as he rushes towards the other man, and suddenly they were both free-falling because Tim had just tackled him into the malfunctioning portal all the while cackling like they weren't about to die.
Ha, guess I'll really only sleep when I'm dead.
Moments before he hit the ground, he closed his eyes and sighed, preparing to meet the end. But then, he felt a strange pull and he was floating, weightless for a second before falling again until he actually hit the ground with a small oomph.
He opened his eyes to a wary man holding out some sort of floating scarf and watching him intensely, waiting, and blinked. "Where am I?"
Or,
Tim Drake did not expect to open his eyes ever again, but finds himself in the world of MHA instead of dying. -

Summary
Alfred tries his best, God bless him, but Tim can only lose at chess so many times before he wants to jump off the roof and break his other collarbone.
The pain is fine; it’s the boredom that Tim would give anything to solve.
That, and the layer of grease on his left wing that he won’t be able to wash off for the foreseeable future.

Summary
After several bad hookups where none of his needs were really met, then striking out repeatedly and not getting laid at all, Jason is just about to give up. There’s no fucking point in hooking up with guys he barely tolerates if he doesn’t even leave satisfied in the morning. There’s no fucking point in going out only to come home alone.
But as always, Roy has his back and points him towards
datinghookup apps, which are supposedly all the rage these days. Apps that allow him to set his preferences beforehand, and kinda filter the guys a bit to avoid the duds. Seems helpful at least, so Jason might as well give this thing a try.Arriving full of renewed confidence after arranging his first hookup via app, he knocks on the door of his date. Then Timothy fucking Drake opens that door.
Goddammit.

Summary
Timothy Drake was no stranger to loneliness.
No stranger to waiting for someone to come save him.
But alas, no one was here. And no one is coming.
Because he's the cuckoo bird. The imposter in the nest, only supposed to be there until Batman was stable again. And now that Batman had a new Robin, Jason back from the dead, and Dick not constantly at his throat, Tim supposed his purpose was used up.
That would explain why he was still sitting in this dark and dingy room, 13 days after his capture, his kidnappers becoming increasingly worried that they were using resources for no reason, and still no Batman in sight to save him.
And so Tim decides it's finally time to free the family of his presence and unshackle them from the responsibility of putting up with him. He'd free himself. Take enough resources that he needs, finally dip into that Drake inheritance he hadn't needed to even touch because he had been reluctantly living in Wayne Manor, and split off like a grown bird from the nest.
_
In which I decided that Tim needs a new vigilante name and what better way to do that than to just separate him from the batfam entirely with a bunch of angst involved?

Summary
Tim's shoulders sank a little. Duke could tell he really wasn't sure what to do at all. After a moment, Tim simply wraps an arm around Duke's shoulders, pulling him in for a hug. The fact that he was trying to soothe him at all only made Duke cry more. In response, Tim awkwardly patted Duke's back- making him laugh a little through the tears.
What a blessing to have a family such as this, even when his first family had fallen apart.

Duke is so stressed, he forgets hay fever is an actual thing. Tim tries to help him out and accidentally makes him cry.

Summary
“You can only be worth something if you’re useful. People forgive you if you help enough. But if you stop being useful—what’s left?”
Jason shut the book like it might shatter. His heart slammed against his ribs.
For years—years—he’d thought Tim Drake had slid into his role with ease. The perfect little replacement, the better Robin, the golden boy who stole his family and wore it like armor. Jason had hated him for it. Resented him. Told himself Tim had never struggled the way he had.
