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
"It feels weird having a name for a being he and his friends had known only as the 'Time Devil,' but he thinks it’s only right that he know the title of the fairy he quite literally pledged his soul to. It was really the only piece of information he had gotten from the fairy before he offered Zirk a deal for another chance at saving Irina from the corrupting influence of the crown of Cerenysus.
A deal he had taken and sacrificed his soul for.
A deal that he then reneged on when Fia used his research to bring him back from the dead.
A deal his friends don’t even know he made in the first place."
OR
Zirk still hasn't told Fia and Henry the full truth about the circumstances surrounding his deal with the winter fairy. As the weeks wear on, however, the consequences that have arisen from his death and subsequent resurrection become harder to hide.

Summary
“'Sejanus, at least you have a life. So these next four years have you stuck under the thumb of Dr. Gaul? Use that time to come up with a plan for what happens in that fifth year. So your father is disappointed in you? Use that as an opportunity to do what you want without fear of his judgment. View this as a key, not a shackle.'
The words are spoken matter-of-factly, as if this is the most obvious solution in the world. And perhaps to Coryo, ever the pragmatist, it is. Sejanus can feel the tension dissipate from within him as a chuckle, the first in weeks, leaves his lips unbidden.
'You make it sound so easy.'
'Maybe it’s not,' Coryo agrees. 'But when has something like that ever stopped you?'"
OR
Rather than allowing his son to be sent to the districts as a Peacekeeper, Strabo Plinth convinces Dr. Gaul that his son can be better monitored in the Capitol. This changes everything and also changes absolutely nothing at all.

[Podfic] Runaway Robin by Mintoki for DangerBeckett
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), DCU (Comics)
29 Oct 2023

Summary
One night, Robin spots a kid with an overnight bag on a rooftop, and he jumps to the obvious conclusion: the kid's trying to run away. The kid is doing a really bad job of it, though, and that's the sort of thing Robin just has to correct.
Except the kid is Tim Drake, and Tim isn't actually trying to run away. But "running away" does sound a little better than "stalking bat-themed vigilantes through the crime-infested streets of Gotham every night." So he lets Robin have this one.
Besides, that's the end of it, right? Robin might have found Tim once, but no one ever looks for Tim a second time. Robin can think whatever he wants. They'll never see each other again.
(They see each other again.)

Summary
“Tim,” Bruce says, “it’s driver’s ed.”
“You think I don’t know that?”
“It’s a graduation requirement.”
“I know,” Tim snaps. “And you know why I know? Because two different counselors and the freaking P.E. divisional head sat me down and explained it! I know.”
“Then how did you–”
“Because I wasn’t going to class, alright?!”
—
After failing his mandatory driver’s education course, Tim’s family all pitch in to impart their collective knowledge. But it’s an unlikely member who finally gets him up to speed.

Bookmarker's Notes
After Tim’s attempts to forge paperwork and pass his Gotham Academy driver’s ed course are discovered, Bruce makes him get his state mandated 50 hours for real this time. It’s ridiculous because of course Tim knows how to drive! … Or at least he mostly does, anyway.
Hilarious from top to bottom! genuinely laughed out loud multiple times reading this fic and it’s such a good pick me up. If you’ve ever gone through the gauntlet of getting your required driving permit hours in, I’m positive at least one of the anecdotes will hit close to home. Highly recommend!

Bookmarker's Notes
Tim meets Jason during one of his many, many Batwatching escapades. When Jason gets horribly sick, Tim takes him back to Bristol to nurse him back to health and keep him safe from the streets of Gotham. Despite the fact his parents are hardly home, Tim knows that Jason staying with him forever is untenable. However, when the Waynes start to take an interest in their neighbors, Tim hatches a brilliant plan to keep Jason safe and also make sure his parents never find out about him: get Bruce to adopt to adopt Jason. Surely nothing can go wrong with that, right?
I absolutely adore this fic. Tim loves Jason so much and tries so hard to find him a new family without even realizing that he’s becoming a part of this new family too. The heartfelt conversations hit perfectly and also there’s tons of fun and silly antics in between. Definitely recommend this one!

Enter Stephanie Brown; a problem who threatens to expose Tim's cleverly crafted web of lies. Now Tim’s stuck pretending Alvin is his ex, because apparently breaking up with yourself is easier than explaining wigs, fake contacts, and a seriously complicated double life.

Tim creates the identity “Alvin Draper” to take up the mantle of Robin after Jason’s death. Years later, when Steph tries to set Alvin and Tim up with each other, this comes to bite him in the ass.
Just a fun fic with Tim trying desperately to keep his two civilian identities separate while Steph tries desperately to act as a mediator so that they can have a love story for the ages

Summary
Tim was doing just fine on his own. He fell into a routine between school, extracurriculars, and his nightly Batstalking. Maybe his situation was unconventional, but he could take care of himself.
Jason had something to say about that.
OR:
Tim may have been thirteen, but he was also a high school Sophomore and perfectly capable of faking a nanny, breaking and entering, and hacking the Batcomputer—not necessarily in that order.All he had to do to keep this lifestyle was maintain the ruse—easy enough when it came to his parents but a more treacherous undertaking to try to put one over on the Batman himself. And with Jason as his English tutor, Tim found himself growing perilously close to the Wayne family. Although at first content to watch them from behind his camera, it was only a matter of time before he got invested.

Bookmarker's Notes
When Tim’s parents are finally approved for their next dig halfway across the world, Tim convinces them to let him stay in Gotham for his sophomore year. Fortunately for him, they also forgot that they let go of his nanny beforehand, under the assumption that he’d be going back to boarding school in the fall. This gives Tim the time and freedom to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Unfortunately for him, this freedom is contingent on keeping up his good grades, including in his advanced English literature course, which he’s currently on the verge of failing.
Enter Jason, one of the school’s peer tutors. Jason and Tim bond almost immediately and form a strong friendship that just keeps pulling Tim further into the Waynes’ orbit. It’s (mostly) uphill from there.
I cannot stress enough how GOOD the characterization and dialogue are in this fic. There are some what I consider to be quintessential “Tim Joins the Batfam Early” fics and I genuinely think this fic should be included in that list. It feels so well-thought out and crafted that I was engrossed the entire time I read it.

Summary
The logical part of Jason’s brain attempts to soothe him by reminding him that Tim is a rich kid and rich kids travel all the time. That rich people travel all the time; not only is that normal, it’s expected. Can the tabloids even call you wealthy if you haven’t used up enough jet fuel in your lifetime to fill the Pacific Ocean?
So, really, it shouldn’t be weird to see little Timmy Drake standing in a Gotham City Airfield hallway, an over-packed bag slung over his tiny shoulders, and looks more sure of himself and his surroundings than some of the employees do.
But it is.___
Or... Jason is trying to run away to Ethiopia, but his genius kid neighbor is making it very difficult

Bookmarker's Notes
In his attempt to run away to Ethiopia, Jason finds himself lost in the airport. Thankfully, he finds a familiar face in his neighbor, Tim Drake, who’s willing to help him out. However, the more Jason talks with him, the more he has his own questions about what (another) unaccompanied minor is doing waiting for a flight.
I loved their dynamic writing on Tim here (my weird little guy) and the interactions between Jason and Tim! Very enjoyable and a take I liked on the “Jason avoids Ethiopia” concept
