Summary
It starts with a Wayne Gala.
Well. No. It starts three years earlier when Tim watches the T.V. with rapt attention as Robin does the quad flip that the Graysons are known for, and he pieces it together from there.
or
Tim Drake, intelligent as he is, decides that he needs to do something to help (and befriend) Gotham's resident vigilantes. This, of course, leads to his unbeatable method to befriending your heroes. Wherein: he becomes his own vigilante at the age of twelve, befriends the heroes, and sort of saves Gotham along the way.
Hiccups are, of course, bound to happen. Good thing he has the Bats to help him!

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.

My Dreams are in Spreadsheets by hotterhatter2211

21 Mar 2026
Summary
Tim always gave them names. He never told anyone that he named them all. He never mentioned how he would spend all night awake in his bed when the large letters of "ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL” appeared on the screen.
It wasn’t like leaving was an option. The white walls and green tubes were the only places Tim was allowed to go outside of his room.
Tim just wanted a friend to talk to. He was so tired of being alone.

Summary
"Hey," Robin said softly. "It's okay."
It wasn't. It wasn't okay. Tim ruined everything. Now Robin was going to think that he was weird. His (hopeful) future interactions would be tainted. Tim could never see Robin in the eye again.
Tears welled up in his eyes and his throat closed in on itself. He stumbled backwards, his heart beating quick and hard against his ribs.
"Hey. Kid, you okay?” Robin looked at him worriedly. “Please don’t cry. I promise it’s okay.”
Tim mutely shook his head. He curled into himself, gripping the side of his arms tightly, trying to remember what it was like to breathe, cheeks burning hot with shame.
He was an embarrassment.
Socially anxious baby Tim meets Robin!Dick

As far as alien invasions go, this one was pretty smooth. At least it was right up until the aliens demanded a sacrifice. A child sacrifice.
Batman's child.

Tim(e) to put your money where your mouth is by Narratiuncula for Yellow_sprouts
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DC Extended Universe, DCU (Comics), Red Robin (Comics)
07 Nov 2024
Tags
Summary
Tim Drake died and woke up possessing the body of an alternate version of himself who also just had died.
The new reality he found himself in, appeared to be a parallel Earth with a future as close as any other alternative Earth, until the point where Tim never became Robin, or even more than just neighbours with the Waynes, instead becoming the most stereotypical affluent, obnoxious, nuisance he could be.
Having a reputation that might as well make him the metaphorical love child of Brucie Wayne and Lex Luthor, Timothy Drake seemed to embody all that was wrong with the rich. This made finding a way home a tad more difficult than he had originally anticipated. That is, if there even was a way home to be found.
* Yellow_sprouts' fic 'The Drakes Spoiled Brat. (im sorry dad)' inspired this one. I obtained their permission to write this, and I encourage everyone who reads it to read their fantastic fic!

Summary
Honestly, Dick had designed his weapons to hurt to the point that they are possibly on the wrong side of entirely ethical. He couldn’t help himself though. Some of the shit he’d seen in Bludhaven, well, his sympathy for the worst of humanity had fallen at a rapid rate. He knew he’d get used to it again one day, when the desensitization kicked in, but for now, he was having a hard time remembering why they had ethics they followed in the first place.
So sue him. He wanted to hurt the people who made their lives all about hurting others. He wasn’t gonna apologize for not having infinite patience for bullshit.
He was, however, going to apologize for forgetting that he could make mistakes and that sometimes you hit the wrong target, even in hand-to-hand combat.
Or, Dick and Tim meet face to face in less-than-ideal circumstances.
(Can be read as a One-shot)

Summary
“Tim wonders, sometimes, what life would be like if everyone came back. If they got a second chance. If they just walked back into his life with a smile, strong and whole and alive, like nothing ever happened. Like Tim never loved and lost and mourned and moved on.
But resurrection is a pipe dream, nothing more. No one who dies will ever come back to life, no matter how badly Tim wishes otherwise.”
AU in which death is actually the end, no one comes back to life, and Tim is the only one left to carry the burden of the cowl.

Tim always gave them names. He never told anyone that he named them all. He never mentioned how he would spend all night awake in his bed when the large letters of "ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL” appeared on the screen.
It wasn’t like Tim could just leave and go outside. Tim was only allowed to go to the lab with the white walls and green tubes.
Tim just wanted a friend to talk to. He was so tired of being alone.

With each day, they all are growing closer, and it makes him happy. He still has to figure out why they chose to call him "Mom," though.
