Summary
The thug released him, and Tim’s head snapped forward, the sudden loss of support causing his chin to collide with his chest again. He felt dizzy, nauseous.
“Fuck you,” Tim said through his teeth, the words tight and raw.
“I wonder what you’ll see, Red Robin,” Scarecrow said, leaning back in, just far enough that Tim couldn’t even attempt a desperate headbutt. He sounded genuinely curious, like a scientist awaiting a rare reaction.
--
Red Robin gets dosed with fear toxin, and his coping mechanism gets twisted.

Summary
Tim had always been good at compartmentalizing.
So when the contractions started earlier that day, something dull and irregular, he simply chalked it up to the tail end of pregnancy aches and kept going with his daily routine. He cleaned the apartment. Rechecked his go-bag. Reviewed their hospital route. Ate three bites of toast and glared at the rest.
He was doing fine. Great, in fact.
OR: Tim is not doing fine and Kon plays doctor. No newborn children were harmed in the making of this.

Summary
“I’m… looking for my brother,” Tim blurts. The lie slips out smoother than he expected. He adds a shrug for good measure. “Jason. He came through first. I followed.”
Something in Strange’s gaze shifts — the first hint of a crease between his brows. He doesn’t buy it completely, but he’s listening now.
“You opened a cross-dimensional rift,” Strange says slowly, like he doesn’t believe Tim’s lie, “to look for your brother.”
Or: After Jason Todd dies, he ends up in the MCU. Tim Drake — instead of finding Bruce Wayne and becoming the next Robin — goes after him.
Or: Post-Lazarus Jason Todd gets halfway adopted by Steve Rogers and thirteen-year-old genius Tim Drake gets fully adopted by the Sorcerer Supreme himself.

A-01 (Worst Case Scenario) by LonelyLittleLizard, Norite
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel, DCU (Comics)
25 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
“Tell me about Thanos, then. Or what the hell Contingency A-01 is.”
“I don’t know,” Tim says again, with more fervor. “I don’t remember, alright? Last thing I remember, I was on patrol, and now you’re telling me I ended up in a different universe with half a note from my dad telling me about a contingency I swear to you I never heard of.”
Telling the truth betrays every instinct he has, but Tim is nerved out beyond all reasonable measures, and he just wants to find a way home.
Besides, he thinks, half-bitterly, it might be nice to have someone else in this lonely new universe, even if it's just for a little while.“I’ll make you a deal, okay?” He tries to bargain with the wizard. “I’ll help you with this Thanos guy, and you help me get back to my own universe.”
Or: Tim Drake ends up in the MCU with no memory of how he got there, and Stephen Strange and Tony Stark accidentally both adopt him.

Summary
“You’re not making any sense, bud. Come on, loop me in, here. What’s going on?”
Tim laughs. It’s a jaded sound, bitter and flat, but it morphs at the end into something closer to delirious. It doesn't sound anything like him. Something is wrong with Tim. “Loop. That’s the problem. Over and over and over and over and over and---- --

He's not my kid (and other famous last words) by LonelyLittleLizard, Norite

26 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
“Do you know what universe you’re from?”
Red Robin blinks. “Um. Not exactly.”
Strange considers him. The suit is armored but light; his stance screams combat training; his eyes — what Stephen can see of them, anyway — are sharp and tired all at once.
And he’s a child. Not literally — a teenager, maybe — but he is still too young to be saying things like “grenade launcher” with that much nonchalance.
“This,” Strange says finally, “is not my problem.”
Or: Five times Stephen Strange summons Tim Drake on accident and the one time he means to

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (filling up my coffee cup) by LilaVaporizer9000
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
06 Apr 2024
Tags
Summary
There is occasionally a certain point one reaches during the attempt to attain a goal where one decides that the goal is just not worth it.
Unfortunately, this also often coincides with being at a point in the attainment of that goal where it’s too damn late and you’re just gonna have to suck it up, buttercup, and get your shit together and do it anyway.
Tim is pretty sure this shit is absolutely not worth it, but it’s too late now and even if it wasn’t, Mama ain’t raise no fuckin’ quitter.
Or:
Tim’s quest to bring Bruce back from his Time-Travel-Super-Vacation goes horribly topsy-turvey when Ra's takes a more pro-active approach to keeping Tim prisoner, and he ends up in an alternate universe where he never existed, and everybody is disorientingly well-adjusted and weirdly obsessed with his “wellness”, whatever that means.
Tim hates mystical artifacts.

Summary
Tim Drake lives a perfectly good life. During the day, he's a freshman at Gotham Academy. At night, he surveils criminal activity and sends detailed analyses to Commissioner Gordon. If he's lucky, he might even get a photo of a Bat or two. He even writes increasingly popular LinkedIn articles about vigilantes and the criminal justice system under the pseudonym Jeffrey Anderson.
Gotham is the one that needs help, not Tim.
Bruce Wayne has a thing or two to say about that.

Summary
“To get me,” Jason echoes. He blinks again. “Because I died. I’m dead.”
“Yeah,” Tim says. He scrambles up a craggy incline, and hears Jason follow with far more grace. “At least, right now you are. But we’re going to fix it.”

Summary
When he looks back on it, Tim will remember the hours that follow his accident as less painful and more crowded.
Which is pretty surprising, seeing as how he’s currently rocking an average of about one injury per body part, counting all fingers and toes and unnecessary organs, if he had to make an estimate.

Summary
Even without context, as always Dick is enthralling in his storytelling. “What’s happening?” Tim asks, fascinated to know what’s got Dick so animated this time.
It’s the smallest of expressions.
Dick blinks at him, like for a moment, he forgot Tim was there.
Then he’s twisting in his chair to face him, eyes bright with the promise of a new audience. “Okay, so - remember how I told you about my new manager at the studio? Well get this - he made this new rule that audience members aren’t allowed to wear hats when they come to see the kids’ recitals. It’s part of the ‘audience dress code’, a thing which one hundred percent he just made up himself - ”
Tim watches Dick attentively. He laughs at all the right points. He even lets out a small gasp when he knows it’s expected.
And it’s good. It’s a good story, and Dick is so happy to tell it.
***
The frustrating thing when he gets like this is that it’s never triggered by anything real.

Summary
Words are the only things left, after everything.
Most people, after they pass, get kind words. Gentle ones. They get words like gracious, like caring and fun and determined and a joy to have known.
Robin gets words that aren’t going to be repeated. He gets accusations that would put a man away for life then make the prisoners shiv him in the yard once they get a glance at what he’s done. Robin gets slurs and swears, gets halfhearted taunts and gets barbed bullets.
Most people had a softer ending, after everything.
Not this nothingness.
Jason Todd had an Obituary, in the paper, that’s how Tim had gotten the news, the news about Jason’s passing. About the small funeral held and the picture in the front page about how Bruce had worn something designer to his son’s graveside service.
Tim turns away from where Batman stands over Two-Face. The drip-drip-drip of that terrible, rancid, red down the gauntlets isn’t something that’s appealing to look at anymore. Tim’s gotten his pictures, he can leave-
Well. After he does one more thing.

A story about a Gotham that was held together after a Robin's untimely demise.

Summary
If anyone asked the Batfamily which Robin had the funniest ’joining the family’ story? Well, everyone would start with, “Well it seemed like Jason had the spot taken for good after having the audacity to try and jack the Batmobile’s tires and hit Bruce with his tire iron.” And then they’d say, “But then tiny Tim decided to try and steal the whole thing.”
Or: When Tim is 11 he figures it’s not hurting anyone if he. Ya know. Takes a picture in the Batmobile. But then the power goes to his head and all of a sudden he’s hacking the Batmobile and tearing through Gotham on a rescue mission.

Summary
When Tim first proposes his plan, Jason calls him batshit insane.
"Why?" Tim asks stubbornly. “It’ll be a win-win situation – I get a new life without some guardian tying me down, and you get a new life where you can eat food every day and live in a big house. You’ll probably have to go to school, but that’s the only downside I can think of. That, and pretending to be me, of course."
*
In the wake of Jack and Janet Drake's untimely death, Bruce sets out to search for their missing son, determined to adopt him. After a long, arduous search, he finally brings home a new addition to his family.
He fails to realise that the new kid living in Wayne Manor is not Tim Drake.

Summary
If Bruce wasn't so busy investigating the Red Hood, he might have realised that, while Jack Drake is in a coma and Tim is grounded from patrol, Drake Industries goes broke. Overnight, the Drakes lose everything, leaving Tim without a cent to his name.
Jason, meanwhile, cannot believe that the Bats haven't noticed yet that something is obviously wrong with the Replacement.
*
It’s weird, being poor. At the moment, Tim has precisely eleven dollars to his name. Drake Industries, gone. Their assets, gone. His trust fund, being used to pay for his father’s hospital bills. The house is gone, too. That's okay. Tim is okay. Sometimes, though, he lies awake at night, and he can’t help but wonder. Does Bruce know? He definitely doesn’t, obviously. But, does he?
