Quatervois by Amaranthine_Nostalgia
Fandom: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics), Red Robin - Fandom
05 Nov 2025
Summary
Quatervois:
(n) a crossroads; a critical decision or turning point in one's life
Timothy Jackson Drake was not created to fail. He was created to soar, to be a beacon of pride to carry on his parent’s legacy, even if he wasn’t quite expected. Over and over again, he has walked along a tightrope, appeasing the expectations of his family and his own desires.
His life has been full and happy all things considered. It’s part of the reason he doesn’t have a grappling hook. He’s always known that dancing with Ra’s Al Ghul would spell his death. At least this way, he had one last victory over the man.
He closed his eyes.
Finally, there is peace.
In other words, a series of connected one-shots following the aftermath of Tim's interactions with Ra’s Al Ghul.

Summary
Jason has a plan. He's going to walk into the tower and beat his replacement into a fucking pulp. And its going swimmingly! Right up until he realizes that he hasn't heard a single scream. There have been no whimpers, no cries for help, no pleading for Batman to come and save him. Other than the sound of fists on flesh and the snap of bone and his own vitriol, there's nothing.
OR
Jason is going to kill Tim. Tim has no complaints.

Summary
Saving him wasn't even a conscious decision.
Klarion has and always will be an annoying little bitch… but he's grown on him a little bit. And even though Tim knew he wouldn't really die, he knew the witch boy would have still been hurt quite a bit if he allowed the weird magical eldritch being to drag him into the equally weird magical abyss.
So he saved him.
Not the first time they've helped each other out, in and outside of the team, but it was the first time Klarion had a conflicted face about it.
In the end, when everyone was safe and the cheers were going all out, Klarion whispered something to him.
"Successor of tragedy,
Predecessor of greatness,
Empty of worth and love,
As savior of chaos you will shine,
A beacon in a time worthy of your direction,
And be saved in return."
----------------
When Tim saves Klarion's life, Klarion repays the debt through a 'curse' that doesn't kick in until a few years later when Tim tries to kill himself, and ends up in an alternate universe parallel to his own but many years in the past. Tim doesn't waste the gift given to him.

When he goes missing, Dick takes a look into his laptop looking for clues, and instead finds something that will shatter everything he knew about himself and his relationship to his estranged brother. Carefully constructed lies to protect himself are brutally smashed to pieces by the video he finds and he wonders if he can ever make up for all the ways in which he hurt Tim.

Summary
Red Robin spun around to face her, jabbing a finger in her face. “No. No, we don’t. We don’t have to talk about any of this because some idiot little eleven-year-old thought that maybe if he was special his parents would give a damn about him. I don’t have depression, I’m not a risk, and I can do my job perfectly fine. He-- He doesn’t know anything.”
Jason’s eyes narrowed. “You can’t just avoid this, Tim.”
“I can and I will because there’s nothing to avoid in the first place,” Red Robin hissed. “I am fine.”
aka in which, little Tim spills a secret Red Robin isn’t ready to face and discovers his future self isn’t someone he wants to become.

Summary
He was selfish and he knew it.
He was so selfish that he couldn't even give the Bats the courtesy of getting rid of him. He was so incredibly selfish that the only reason he didn't jump off of the very roof he was sitting on was that he wanted to see his family again. It didn't matter to him that they didn't wanna see him. Tim knew that, everyone knew that.Series

Hallucination? Probably by Minzblatt

Summary
Tim Drake is holding it together. Barely.
He’s an orphan (which, yeah, isn’t exactly rare around here), his guardian barely acknowledges him, his place in the Batfam is… undefined at best, one of his brothers definitely wants him dead, and being Robin is not as fun as it sounds. The weight of Gotham is starting to feel a little heavier each night and sleep is a myth. Add schoolwork and the crushing loneliness of a 16-year-old who lives solo in a giant manor, and you’ve got a disaster cocktail with a cherry on top.
So when a weird floating boy shows up out of nowhere, Tim’s totally sure it’s just his overworked, sleep-deprived brain staging an intervention. A welfare hallucination. Happens.
...Still, it’s kinda nice not being alone for a change.or: Tim Drake is having a no-good, very bad mental health spiral—until a glowing boy phases through his wall. Literally.

Summary
Grief, Tim has found, is persistent. It lingers within his bones like a cancer, digging deeper and deeper until survival is a question rather than an expectation. There's no shaking it off, not when every day without his mother is agonizing.
Now, looking at his mother's grave, he knows that he never will.

Summary
Tim was always holding his breath. Waiting. Filled with anticipation.
He'd spent most of his childhood that way, alone in Drake Manor hoping his parents would come home soon, crouched behind air conditioning units on top of buildings for the bats to fly by, sitting at a school desk watching the clock more sharply than paying attention to a teacher, clipping film to clothesline to dry and hoping he'd gotten a good shot. So Tim had made a game of it. He'd try to hold his breath for as long as he could while completing a task, just to see how far he could get.
It was easy for simple things, like doing dishes or math problems. It was much, much harder for others. But some things? Some things it made exquisite.
