Summary
The Lazarus Pit always takes something from its victims. Usually, it's sanity, memories, emotional regulation, or a combination of the three. It doesn't often take a person's humanity and warp their body beyond recognition.
Seems like Jason Todd is the (un)lucky winner of such an opportunity! When the teenager wakes to a second chance at life, he is forced to live in the body of a monster. Yay!
To survive, he must uncover the limits and powers his new form holds, all while trying to avoid unwanted attention. When he returns home, things only get more difficult. His family actively hunts him, people are terrified by his very presence, and rogues try to catch him for their own uses.People fear what they don't understand. Villains hate what they can't control. Vigilantes detain what they think is dangerous.
There is no place for inhuman monsters in Gotham, but surviving by yourself is lonely. Maybe taking Batman's new little bird under his wing will help somehow?
OR
The one where Jason gets turned into an animalistic cryptid and has to survive Gotham being...well Gotham. Oh, Tim's there too. He's sad, but he thinks that having a cryptid best friend would be pretty cool.

Summary
“He’s alive,” Tim whispered. His face and eyes were dry, but his voice hitched like he was trying not to cry. “I know he is.”
“Tim—”
“No. No, you and Dick don’t get it!” He snapped his head back up, face twisted in frustrated fury.
“I—”
“Jason, you died before and managed to come back. You of all people should be able to see a fake death.”

Summary
Tim stepped off the bus that feeling in his gut became stronger, like something was holding his insides and was stopping them from moving like they should, like they were being kept tense waiting for something to tell them they should relax or were forcibly kept limp, these limp and tense organs were wrapped up inside him into a knot, that was everywhere inside of him in his gut behind his ribcage towards somewhere low in his throat blocking the words he had no one to speak to. The grip on his insides held on as he peddled his bike home and up the driveway towards the manor. He parked his bike, didn’t bother opening the garage but left it outside, not in view of the security cameras.
Or a look into Tim Drake's lonely childhood

Summary
Finally, Bruce looks. Just a glance toward the flyer. He doesn’t take it.
“That’s good,” Bruce says, evenly. “Congratulations.”
Tim swallows. That’s… something. Praise is praise, right? But it feels hollow like a weight in his stomach.
“It’s on Saturday. From four to seven. If—if you’re not busy, I thought maybe...”
His voice trails off under Bruce’s silence._________________

But after Jason’s death, Bruce is a broken man, too caught up in his own world to show up. Luckily, an impeccable butler always knows how to come in clutch. -

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
I wanted to read a fic where Tim essentially has a breakdown and tantrum, sadly, I couldn't find any (please comment one if you know of one).
So I decided, to just write one myself.
It's labelled 'Hurt No Comfort, Maybe' because I might write a second chapter which can be the batfamily's reactions and add comfort, but right now it's just hurt.

Summary
Straightening, Tim wandered into the endless hallway and through the next doorway. This room was a study, and was different from the rest. The warmth here felt bright and unwavering. Powerful in a way that couldn’t be described. But beneath it lay a note of sourness that clung to him like a whispered plea. He walked farther in, as if to find what was wrong, to fix it. But the room was as blurry as the rest. His shoulders slumping, Tim turned to leave, before being stopped by a flicker of gold in the corner of his eye. Walking towards the object, he found a shining golden pen resting lazily on the carpeted floor. Its surface glowed gently, like a firelight behind glass. Beside it, lay a slip of yellowed parchment paper, trembling with invisible wind. In loopy script, the paper read;
Will you bind yourself to this place of solace?OR
In Tim’s dreams, he finds himself a home.

Summary
Sometimes, Tim could fool himself with the way his dad looked in pride at the designer suit and watch he bought for him. He could fool himself with the way Bruce would praise him and ruffle his hair after a mission well done.
Tim knew it wasn't for him. He had always been good at wearing clothes that he didn't deserve.

Summary
If Tim wasn’t a vampire…he’s always thinking about that, somewhere in the back of his mind. It’s not fair that half of Gotham’s population live in terror once the sun sets. The Drakes are old blood, with vampiric history going back centuries. Tim has attended countless blood galas and night balls. He’s small and scrawny and easily overlooked- vampires recognize power above all.
They haven’t figured out, like Tim has, that sometimes being overlooked is even more powerful than being noticed.
