Summary
Tim pauses. Then, “I just don’t want–”
Jack moves quickly. He’s suddenly approaching, fast, with a bracelet that Tim could’ve sworn was just in his mother’s hands. He forcefully grabs Tim’s left hand, slips the bracelet on, and lets go.
And, right when it gets past Tim’s hand, the bracelet shrinks.
Tim gasps, holding his breath as he tries to figure out if he just saw what he thinks he did. His eyes, wide, move quickly to look at his parents, of whom are both equally alarmed.
“Mom–” his voice is higher than he expected it to be, but he’s scared. He just got cursed and–
“Timothy,” his mother’s voice shakes, “Go to your room.”
/-/
Tim sees his first ghost a week after that–- he arrives at school and sees a girl with a bullet hole in her forehead.

Summary
“It’s a… soulsmates dream.”
“Souls-mates?” Tim repeated, finally meeting Jason's eyes with shocking ease.
“Yeah! They’re like, two people that are the perfect-est match, and they can be best friends or, uh, kissy. Y’know?”
Tim breathed out a sigh of relief.
“That’s good,” he finally commented, feeling oddly exhausted. “People don’t like me. You do though. I’m glad you’re my souls-mate.”
“I’m glad you’re my souls-mate too, Timmy.”
“So what type –”Everything went black.

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.

Summary
In a shattered future, haunted by the memory of a family he couldn't save, Tim Drake is ready to let go. But his end is interrupted by two other broken heroes, Adrien Agreste and Mark Grayson, boys who lost everything in their own worlds. They are all, in a way, already dead.
A miracle, a desperate wish on a mysterious artifact, grants them a second chance. They are ripped from their dying moments and thrust into the past, into the bodies of 8-year-old boys. They are found and adopted by Janet and Jack Drake, whose wealth provides a roof, but whose emotional neglect makes their house a cold, new kind of prison.
Trapped together, they form a fragile, desperate brotherhood. They are a team of ghosts with a single mission: to prevent the future that haunts them all. They must navigate a toxic home while saving the family they never had, not just from outside threats, but from the echoes of their own pasts. Their journey is a fight for a future they thought they'd lost, and for a family forged in sorrow, but bound by hope.

Summary
“B?”
Bruce turned around slowly. Tim knew something was very, very, wrong before Bruce even said anything. He was too tense, and his hair was different. It was greyer, and he had an ever so slightly smaller frame. That and he was looking at Tim in a way he never had before.
“Who the hell are you?” Bruce asked.
This wasn’t his Bruce.
He might have accidentally sent his Bruce across universes.
~~~
When Tim accidentally hits Bruce with his quantum displacer, he and his brothers are left with an emotionally constipated Bruce that has a very different home life than their own.
When Bruce arrives in an alternate universe, he quickly finds out that this universes Bruce is nothing like him.
They each leave their mark while trying to get home. -

Summary
When they accidentally cause trouble for the wrong mob boss, Jack and Janet Drake come up with a completely flawless plan: return to Gotham to retrieve their son, fake the deaths of their entire family, then flee to Belgium. Tim can see a number of issues with this, mainly that (1) it's the stupidest thing he's ever heard, (2) his parents are definitely lying to him about something, and (3) Belgium. With all to play for, it's now up to Tim to create a believable narrative and avoid getting caught by any means necessary - even if that means traumatising the odd vigilante or two. He's willing to do whatever it takes to protect his family.
(But... which family?)
