This House Says My Name Like An Elegy by Wrenythinggoes
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics)
08 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Wayne Manor has stood almost as long as Gotham itself. From the outside, it looks like a haunted house: all dark stone and shadows with lives of their own.
Every so often, someone “has to ask” about the rumors that the building is haunted. A nosy reporter. A drunken socialite. A paranormal YouTuber.
Outwardly, Bruce Wayne laughs them off, dismissing the idea out of hand. It's not his secret to tell.
The reality is that Wayne Manor is much warmer and more welcoming to those who reside there than it is to outsiders. Laughter echoes through the halls. Little faces peer out of the windows, waiting to welcome him home.
That's not to say there are no ghosts.
But they don't haunt the Manor.
They make it a home.***
Bruce somehow finds himself parenting some very traumatized ghost kids. And an equally traumatized living child. Sometimes family is a billionaire, a butler/dad, a gaggle of ghost children, a toddler assassin, and a weird, drunk, magic uncle.

Summary
“All right, lad, why don't you just start from the top?”
Tim took a deep breath. The man before him was a “specialist” that Bruce had called in to help them. Constantine, he was pretty sure the name was. John Constantine was a British dude that reeked heavily of cigarettes and alcohol. He wore a long, khaki trench coat and had a five o’clock shadow, even though it was only eleven. He didn’t seem too impressive to Tim, but Batman seemed to trust him, so that was good enough.

The Memory of You (*Reupload* I'm so sorry) by HollowW00ds

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
"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!!

Whatever happened to imaginary friends? by CoffeeTrees
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics), Robin (Comics)
03 Nov 2025

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
“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
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
What do you mean you’ll just go to Gotham?” Green Arrow asked as soon as Clark let his solution slip.
“Well- that’s where Batman is?”
“Exactly. Why would you go to Gotham if Batman was there? How would getting yourself killed help us regain resources?”
At that Clark was confused. “Because he’d get us new stuff?”
The table tensed.

Clark forgot to mention that he knows the mysterious Batman and takes the JL to meet him (and his family of cryptid creatures).Series

Summary
“Do…” Robin trailed off, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, sending the cape swishing slightly, before starting again, a veneer of determination plastered over the unsurety. “Do you know what happened?”
'To me?' The words hung in the air unspoken.
Jason has a lot of answers to that question, none of them truthful.

Summary
Bruce wakes up in the middle of the night; one of the few nights he’s not out as the Bat, and sees the figure of a child in the corner of his room.
“Who are you?” Bruce says, deciding to be the one to end the staring contest with the shadow.
“…that is interesting…” the words sound like they’re slightly echoing.
“What is?” Bruce asks.
“…you’ve not noticed me like this before…Martha would be happy at this development…” Bruce feels his back straighten at the mention of his mother, hand flying to the switch of his bedside lamp. “What do you mean my mot—“ as he clicks on the light, the boy disappears, as if he was a part of the dark that was there.
OR; Tim is the ghost that Haunts Wayne Manor, Bruce and his kids are determined to uncover the boy’s identity and maybe even help him move on.

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
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
“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.”

Ghosty Tim Drake by TimDrakeIsMyPatronus
Fandom: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types
30 Oct 2025
Summary
In which after being killed in the presence of a cursed artifact, Tim becomes immune to non-violent death. And also lowkey becomes Danny Phantom.
Summary of lore in case you’re new:
Tim has become a figment of Thanatos, the god of natural death. Therefore, he cannot die of unnatural causes, such as violent deaths or poison. This included the Clench because it wasn’t a natural virus. Basically, he can’t die before it’s his natural time.
Any active injuries he has when he dies are healed without scars. If he gets injured and survives, such as getting his spleen skewered, then those scars remain.
His connection to the astral plane also gives him the ability to become invisible and intangible as well as interacting with ghosts. He can lend his power to other ghosts, but it leaves him weak.
Hope that all makes sense!
