Summary
At fourteen, Tim Drake is no stranger to loneliness. But when his parents die in a plane crash, and a will reveals that Bruce Wayne is his biological father, he’s dropped into a world of vigilantes, legacy, and disappointment. Bruce, caught off-guard and not ready for more family, keeps his distance.
Tim doesn’t push. He’s used to being a shadow.
But shadows notice things. They listen. They help. And while Bruce avoids his newest son, Alfred brings him in—gently, steadfastly, and without question. Tim finds belonging not in the Cave, but in quiet acts of care. In warm mugs of milk. In folded laundry. In the faint scent of his grandmother’s perfume still lingering in the halls.
Bruce may not be ready yet. But Tim is already home.

Summary
Tim’s eyes met Bruce’s.
He smiled a soft sad smile.
“Tim, don’t—”In one universe, Tim Drake is isolated, neglected, and drowning in loneliness.
In another, Tim Drake is dead—a beloved son whose loss shattered the Bat-family, turning them colder and more dangerous.
When these worlds collide, Tim is thrust into a reality where his family’s grief has made them unrecognizable. Overwhelmed and terrified, he runs—but this broken Bat-family won’t let him go. They’ll do whatever it takes to reclaim the boy they lost, even if they have to remake him.

Summary
Bracing himself against the floor of the box, Tim jerked his legs up as fast and as hard as he could. He watched the small stream fall through the crack in mute confusion before horror filled him.
Dirt.
That was dirt.

Tim had a whole bunch of letters for Jason to read. He didn't expect much, but maybe he should have seen the near obsession for Bruce's withheld ones coming.

Summary
This is a silly little story told via AO3 emails and text messages, based on that one tumblr post which was like "what if Jason had an AO3 account with a 300k long Pride and Prejudice fanfic" and I went "well what if Helicopter Parent Bruce was subscribed to it and that's how he found out Jason was alive?"
aka the excuse to figure out how to mimic an AO3 email in skinform

Summary
Batman: Re-imagined
In this world, Bruce Wayne managed to successfully heal himself through therapy and consequently did not take on the mantle of being Gotham's vigilante. Despite of this, he still managed to adapt four sons: Richard Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne--all unbeknownst to him are part of Gotham's most prominent heroes: The Gotham Knights.
Why did Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian chose to become vigilante heroes? And how will the 'lack of Batman' change Gotham's villains? Will Bruce ever find out about the nightly activities of his sons? Will the Wayne family survive the chaos that will come to Gotham?

Update! Part II is currently being rewritten and integrated back into this story. :)

Summary
A man in all black thrashes threw his own files like a starving dog. He behaves as if his humanity has slipped from him, now only a husk of the caring man that Tim had worked so hard to save in his teen years. It doesn’t feel like he truly saved him despite the man being in front of him.
