Summary
“So, Alvin, how have you been feeling recently?”
“Fine, I guess.”
“Your father mentioned that some… things… happened recently?”
“He’s not my dad."OR
Bruce finally convinces Tim to go to therapy because he's getting concerned, and in the process traumatizes one of the few souls brave enough to be a therapist in goddamn Gotham.
But just maybe, if the stars align and Ms. Sophie, his rather confusing therapist, is crafty enough, they'll be able to fit in some healing between the lines. -

Summary
Tim looked like he was going to cry. Jason felt cruel but couldn't stop talking. "People have little flaws, annoying habits, silences and gestures. When you know someone, you see the person in those gestures and silences, where others see chance. That's trust. That's family. You don't trust anyone, Tim. And I can prove it. I know your darkest secret and I have no idea what your favorite color is. You don't trust me. Okay, it doesn't have to be me. But don't say you trust people. That's not true."
***
Or: Tim Drake has fallen in love. Steph is worried, Jason feels bad. Dick is—as he should—walking off a cliff. Ra's Al Ghul is ready to make his move. Duke is too. Bruce is taking people to court. But here's the thing: you can't love without trust and Tim trusts no one.
Three stories of coming out and identity, when being who you are seems simply uncomfortable, not wrong.

The Demon's Heir by L1ttle_Bird3 (UTMVNightLight)
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics)

Tags
Summary
“—and that is why I’d like for you to be my heir. If the Detective can mold those not of his blood, into skilled fighters, fighters that can hold their own, without outright turning them into a mindless weapon.. Then I do not see why I cannot do the same.”
Tim took a moment to register that. “What?”
Ra’s didn’t seem to be annoyed by his one-liner. “Talia was a blessing, however blood isn’t everything–”
“–so I would prefer to make you an offer. Won’t you be my heir? I will not impede on your quest to save the Detective.”
Was he dreaming? Wait, ew, no, why would he even dream about this in the first place?
“What about Damian?”
Ra’s raised an eyebrow, “What about him? He is unfit for leadership. Many of my men are planning to desert if he becomes the head, that is how bad it is. If not for Talia’s sympathy, I would’ve killed him, simple as that.”
Tim flinched.
(‘Remember who you’re talking to.’)

“I couldn’t just leave him” by Val_Teal

17 Oct 2023

Summary
Bruce almost runs over a small child in a blizzard, while on his way to see Jason Blood about an urgent matter. Of course he takes the kid with him. He couldn’t just leave him there. He had no idea what he was getting himself into. He never regretted it, even when fourth his adoptive son was coming home from school every year with a new story about his near death experiences.
Or
Bruce is a great Dad, Tim is a great older brother, and Harry gets a new family before the Dursley’s damage him too much.
(The Dursley’s were canonically abusive, but I am not going to crank it up more than it was in the books. Abuse isn’t just physical, and it’s really out of character for the Dursley’s to go out of their way or spend time hurting Harry. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.)

Tie The Strings Of Fate Back Together Again by Megaerakles
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
24 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
Tim Drake has quite a few secrets. For one thing, he knows the identity of Batman and Robin. For another, he's an employee of the Soul Bureau, the entity in charge of organizing the afterlife. Tim's job is to host souls that have been lost before their time but are supposed to come back. When Robin dies at the hands of the Joker, Jason Todd's soul is assigned to Tim.
For someone who puts on tights to fight crime, Jason sure is critical of Tim's life choices. It's a good thing Lost Souls never remember what happened to them while they were dead, or he'd really be in for it once Jason comes back to life!

so much of the living (is the being unknown) by sorenbrandr

Summary
He looked over to his nanny, seeing that she was almost done checking out, and he walked closer to the register—nearing the magnets and the stickers. The boy looked them over for a bit, giggling silently at the funny messages and imagery. He scanned the room for people watching, getting the message that nobody was. With a quick inhale he swiped a big magnet and hid it in his pants. Nobody noticed.
Well, almost nobody.
Jason Peter Todd-Wayne stood two feet away from him, staring at him with an unreadable expression. “You shouldn’t do that y’know, you could risk juvie and that shits not fun.”
Tim Drake was panicking. Extremely panicking. Not only was he caught shoplifting, he was caught by the adopted son of Bruce Wayne, Batman. Holy shit, this was Robin! Tim was caught by Robin!
It took everything in him not to be a fanboy. Tim, this isn’t the time.
(Or, Tim Drake and Jason Todd’s brotherhood through the impatient lens of my eyes)
