Summary
Tim Drake died when Jason attacked Titans Tower. It turns out that having a slit throat and multiple broken bones as well as other injuries do not do well for vitality. Now he's trapped in the home of the same family that killed him. That is until a JL meeting causes unexpected reunions.
Or
Tim dies but is still kind of kept alive because he has a soul bond with Kon (not that he knows it) it's just that... no one can see him.Also just to make it clear, Tim still ages as a "ghost." He is 18 almost 19 in this fic, so the same age as Kon.

Summary
Tim Drake was dead.
It wasn't anything remarkable. In fact, his death went unnoticed by the world for nearly a decade. That's because despite having died, Tim kept on living. Sure he might be a ghost now, but he still got hurt, he still bled when cut, he still ate, he still went to school. To anyone else, it looked like he was a normal, if slightly pale and skinny, boy. He worked hard to pretend that he was alive when he knew he wasn't. Hiding what he was from everyone, including Batman.
But all that starts to unravel when his grave is threatened to be disturbed.
The major character death tag is for Tim.

Summary
Tim thinks a large part of the reason why Jack and Janet rarely stay in Gotham for more than a few weeks at a time, and find excuses wherever they can to stay out of the townhouse whenever they are in town, is because they keep catching sight of him in the mirrors.

Summary
“So what’s this about, Duke?” Bruce had settled into the chair behind his desk in his home office, but Duke had elected to remain standing.
Duke rolled his neck, a small frown on his face. He didn’t seem sure where to start.
“I think I'm developing a new power,” he said eventually. “Well, not a new power. A new way of using my power.
“You know my Ghost Vision? Well,” Duke took a deep breath, straightening his shoulders out of the self-conscious hunch he’d fall into, “I think I'm seeing real ghosts now. Or at least, one ghost.”

It’s time the world share my dread by Violent_entertainment

Summary
“Do you know what I do, Dick?"
Dick looked wary, but eventually answered. “Well, you’re a billionaire. So, whatever you want, I guess.”
Bruce actually laughed, a real laugh. “I do own a company, Wayne Enterprises. But I mostly let Mr. Fox run W.E. for me so I can spend most of my time doing what really interests me: R&D for the pharmaceuticals division of our medical supply company.”
Dick’s eyes finally darted back up to his. “Hence the lab in the basement.”
Bruce nodded slowly. “Hence the lab."
He folded his hands on his lap. “What do you really think I do, Dick?” Bruce asked calmly.

Whatever happened to imaginary friends? by CoffeeTrees

Summary
Tim, the ever vigilant (always awake and never giving himself a break) vigilante, gets word of a drug bust going down. One he just so happens to be the only one available to stop. Which happens to be taking place in the very early hours of his birthday. Of course he goes on the highly dangerous bust alone. What could happen?
Or: Tim is used to being the Robin that gets thing handled, that doesn't need Batman to come rescue him. Bruce Wayne had made it very clear in the early days that Tim was not his son. Alfred Pennyworth was cold, allowing only the politeness and distance to show through his Iron Wall. Dick Grayson treated him the way he wished he'd treated his brother, Jason.
Tim was fine with this. He wasn't a child. Even if he wished for more of the small slivers of love the Wayne family were just starting to give him, he wouldn't dare take Jason Todd's place. He just hoped the support he provided for the grieving family would make Jason proud. But Jason Todd came back, and he sure made it known he wasn't. He made sure Tim knew exactly what he thought of the cuckoo in his family.
Now, the Wayne family has their lost son back and Tim has a job to do. Just, not in this dimension?

Summary
Bruce was so bored. That seemed to be the norm for a Justice League meeting.
It wasn’t his first time visiting the team, after Clark introduced them he tagged along to some of the meetings as an almost member.
He enjoyed listening to the happenings of each of the heroes…however…there wasn’t much going on recently and it was a whole lot of filler.
So the whispering in his ears was even more distracting than normal.

Summary
“Uh-huh. Sure. Okay.” Peter doesn’t know if it’s better to believe the stalker or not. “And what’s your deal, Tim? Why are you squatting on my fire escape like a raccoon?”
“I don’t know.”
Peter waits. “...You don’t know.”
“Not really. I just — ended up here.” Tim’s brow furrows. “You’re the only one who can see me, aren’t you?”
Or: Peter Parker is being haunted by an amnesiac ghost named Tim — who may or may not have once been a hero.

Summary
Trapped in the Cradle, Tim got desperate. And desperate men do crazy things...like make deals with eldritch beings. But it was worth it, his soul, his eternity, to get his friends back. To get his Dad back. Ra's was never going to let him go so it was his only shot. He didn't realise the manner in which his soul would be claimed and the pain it would give them all.
Bruce watched his son die a horrible death, unable to stop it. Learning the truth of what caused it, he couldn't stop, he could not abandon his son to an eternity of slavery or worse. But was there any way to free his soul even if he couldn't bring him back to life?

Summary
Tim slowly opens his eyes to find himself surrounded by green, feeling peaceful, content and sleepy.
He silently wonders how he got there as his orange-red eyes take in his surroundings. He’s sure he has never been here before.Danny frowns as he watches a colour-reverted Red Robin float peacefully by his window. He’s eighty percent sure that Red Robin is not supposed to be here. Yet. Aren’t they like… young? They are a vigilante though, so that might explain why they died so early on.
AKA: Tim dies in a mysterious way, Danny ghost adopts him, and the rest of the Batfam are very worried and investigate their side of things.

Summary
"You just turned fourteen a few weeks ago, right?” Jason whistled. “And I thought I died young.”
Tim shook his head. Took a step back.
No. Nope. No way.
This was not happening.
Or: After Tim dies, his soul remains stuck as a ghost at the Manor. Forced to watch Dick and Bruce grieve him and unable to do anything, the only thing making the afterlife bearable is Jason. Until the day his ghost departs.
Tim assumes that Jason has passed on. But then the Red Hood breaks into the Cave. And for the first time, someone can see Tim.
Note: This fic is an emotional rollercoaster, and if you would like to see if you are tall enough to ride this ride, you can check the a/n at the beginning of ch 1!!
Also, this is technically a sequel to the first fic in this series, but you only need to read the one-shot if you want to experience the night Tim dies. You can 100% start here!!

Imaginary Friend by CoffeeTrees
Fandom: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, Nightwing (Comics), Robin (Comics)
24 Oct 2025
Summary
What if the Wayne's from Tim's world took Jason's death a little harder? What if they were too hardened by their grief to let him in and set him strictly as an employee, not their family?
Tim Drake knows he's not part of the batfamily and any fleeting hope of that was crushed when Jason Todd, Tim's Robin, returned from the dead and reenforced what the Waynes had been telling him all these years. They might have warmed up to the boy, but he was not and would never be a part of the Wayne family.
All this to say, when it's Tim's birthday, he goes out on a drug bust to catch a new player in Gotham. Alone. Which ultimately leads to said new player killing the freshly 15 year old. Tim did not expect to wake up. Especially not floating in the bedroom of 10 year old Jason Todd.
Well, death didn't seem to be sticking anymore. Tim's in for a wild ride.

Summary
Tim didn’t remember anything else about who he had been, originally, but he knew his name, at least.
And that he’d probably been human, once.
He wasn’t sure if he was anymore—the thought first occurring to him (slowly, then all at once, like a tide rushing in, worrying at his edges like a hungry rat) when he was Alvin, turning the pages of Tolkien in one of the cozy chairs in the back corner of the public library—or how long it had been since he had been one. How long did it take to change? Like Sméagol into Gollum; a person into something else.

Summary
Tim had always been mature for his age, which was really just another way of saying independent. Which was really just another way of saying stubborn.
And he’d believed it too, that he was mature enough to handle himself alone. Believed he knew what he was doing, before he’d done
the last thing he’d ever done as the real Tim Drakethe stupid thing he’d done. No one ever said he wasn’t practiced at self delusion.Series
