    Summary

    Tim misses his best friend. All his friends. His parents. Bruce. Everyone who has left him in the past two years, never to return. Bart is dead. Steph is dead. Kon is dead. Cassie is in a cult. Bruce is dead. Dick is too distracted with Damian to help.

    Tim will do anything to feel close to them, to feel loved again. Anything.
    Even if it means running away and taking on the world all by myself.
    Even if it means killing that part of himself that drives everyone away.
    Even if it means that he dies in the process.

    Summary

    Tim had been travelling with High King Phantom for months searching the time stream for Bruce.

    After everything, Tim knew one thing for certain: Phantom travelled with him because he was bored. So, Tim didn't see any reason to reveal the truth of his secondary gender to the king. It wasn't like the denizens of the Infinite Realms had designations, after all! (If Phantom found out, would he leave? Abandon him like everyone else in Tim's life already had? Tim couldn't risk it. He wouldn't survive it.)

    There was just a small problem with that, though: Tim's heat started.

    And Phantom noticed.

    Summary

    Dick didn’t have a problem; he was fine.
    He wasn’t hiding an injury, he wasn’t faking his death again, he was completely and utterly fine... not that they would have cared if he wasn’t.

    Summary

    Tim knew Jason was alive, there was no body, thus no proof of death. He knew Jason was alive, because somewhere out there in the wide depth of the multiverse, he knew his spark still shone. He knew this to be true, and he was going to find him. He was going to prove that he wasn't losing his mind (even if it felt like it) that he could do this.

    But what will he do now that he found a way to travel to a whole other universe? Will he find his way to Jason? Will he be able to go home again? Will Jason even want to come with him? And why is he starting to lose so much time again?

    But more importantly, who are all these people that seem so set on making sure he is ok? He's fine. Completely fine. Even if the voices are getting worse and he feels a bit like he is breaking. He'll be fine, he just needs to get Jason home. Then everyone can be normal again.

     

    Or: the Tim focused sequel about found family and rekindling bonds. A character study into trauma, and a deep dive into Tim and Jason's complicated sibling bond.

     

    Follow up to Stray Little Bat (but works as a stand alone). Going to be super slow to update until SLB is done, but I wanted to get it in chronologically.

    Whumptober 2025
    “I look in people’s windows, transfixed by rose golden glows.”
    Isolation | Candlelight | Found Family

    _______

    “So,” Jason starts with a small laugh, more unsure of himself than he’d like to admit. “Nightmare or insomnia?”

    Tim shrugs his good shoulder, “Nightmare.”

    “Oh.”

    “Yeah. It’s okay."

    It’s not. Jason wants to scream.

    Summary

    What if a Vampire Hunter had vampires roaming around right in front of his nose without him bat-ting an eye? Nevertheless, those vampires are his dearest.

    -------------
    Batman didn’t kill humans; that was a line he wouldn’t cross. He had his codes, unyielding and unwavering. No matter the crime, no matter the depravity, he would not take a life unless there was no other choice. But for the vampires, the creatures who had taken so much from him, the rules were different. Their kind had torn apart his family, murdered his mother and left him with nothing but shadows and pain. To them, he had no mercy. Behind his cape, hidden in the folds of his armour, a stake always waited. The night was his domain, and anyone who preyed upon the innocent would meet their end by his hand.
    -------------

    Basically, a fic where Bruce isn't the vampire's head, but rather quite the opposite.

    Summary

    Bir vampir avcısı, burnunun dibinde vampirler dolaşırken gözünü bile kırpmadan durursa ne olur? Yine de, o vampirler onun en sevdiği kişilerdir.

    -------------
    Batman insanları öldürmezdi; bu, onun aşmayacağı bir sınırdı. Kendine ait, taviz vermeyen ve sarsılmaz kuralları vardı. Suç ne olursa olsun, ahlaksızlık ne olursa olsun, başka seçeneği kalmadıkça bir can almazdı. Ancak ondan çok şey alan yaratıklar olan vampirler için kurallar farklıydı. Onların türü, ailesini parçalamış, annesini öldürmüş ve ona gölgeler ve acıdan başka bir şey bırakmamıştı. Onlara karşı merhametli değildi. Pelerini arkasında, zırhının kıvrımlarında gizlenmiş bir kazık her zaman hazır bekliyordu. Gece onun egemenlik alanıydı ve masumları avlayan herkes onun elinde sonunu bulacaktı.
    -------------

    Temelde, Bruce'un vampirlerin lideri olmadığı, aksine tam tersi olduğu bir fan kurgu.

    Summary

    Tim has a perfectly good reputation. Constantly volunteering to charity, cares for his employees. He brought the company record profits and all time employee retainment highs.

    Kon-el Kent has a perfectly bad reputation of being a rebellious rockstar. Getting drunk. Crowd surfing, being exceptionally flirty and hot, the whole works.

    By no means should their lives have ever crossed. Until a fateful New Year’s Eve party and too many drinks. The tabloids took it and ran…

    “CEO of Drake Enterprises Timothy Drake dating lead singer of YJ?!?”

     

    “Kon-el sharing a passionate New Year’s Eve kiss with a new boy? Is the heartthrob finally taken?”

    Summary

    Tim had been on his way to the city for his usual vigilante photography (and resident 911 caller for the destruction Batman left in his wake), when he decided to take an impromptu pit stop by Jason’s grave. He had gone there a couple times before, the first time to check if he really was dead, and the second time to check if he hadn’t imagined it the first time.

    But when he entered the graveyard and made his way to where Jason’s grave was, instead of a clean and maintained grave with lots of flowers (probably by Alfred, Tim had guessed), there was an entire boy sitting in front of his broken grave.

    A boy with torn clothes, bruised face and body, panting heavily with his eyes glazed over.

    A boy who looked a lot like Jason Todd.

    OR

    Tim adopts a fresh-from-the-grave Jason Todd fic.

    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.”

    He seeks a solution more permanent than the constant cycle of catch and release they currently have for Gotham's various vigilantes.

    Or

    Tim Drake’s temporary descent into villainy. Featuring numerous ride or die friends, a historic crashout, and canon-typical emotional incompetence.

    Summary

    “I love all my children equally,” Bruce said, smiling at the camera.

    At the millenia-old answer to the equally old question of “Who is your favorite child”, the people in the interview laughed. As was the only appropriate reaction to the answer.

    Tim laughed too. Along with his adopted siblings next to him. His lips parted in a wide smile and his eyes scrunched up as a soft chuckle left his throat.

    But inside, Tim was seething.

    I love all my children equally.

    Bullshit, Tim thought through clenched teeth. Bull-fucking-shit.

    Summary

    “I don't think they’ve ever been in the Batmobile. Have they?”

    “They haven't! You think they’re going to like it?..”

    “Hmm.. I think so. We can just drive around the city, yeah?”

    But like everyone, Bruce had lied.

    Bruce had lied.

    Summary

    When your parents have just died a few weeks prior to the current time, you would think you would get the utmost comfort and care.

    Especially when you go home after a long night with Batman and find their bodies.

    Especially when you are this close to ripping yourself to pieces.

    Comfort and care seem to be the best thing to be received, right? Perhaps a hug, or maybe reassurance that it would “all be okay in the end”, and that “we’re here for you”.

    Or maybe a break from being the Boy Wonder.

    That's what Tim wanted, at least.

    “You’ve got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears.”
    Prophecy | Sewer | Taking Accountability

    _______

    That is what Tim had been doing tonight.

    Protecting Jason Todd. Protecting Robin.

    He just. Well, Tim hadn’t realized that in all four thousand one hundred and seventy-seven days of his life, he had never learned how to swim. Why would he need to? Gotham may be surrounded by water, but it’s water that’s more polluted than Los Angeles and the Mississippi River combined.

    Still, his lack of competency would’ve been useful to remember before he decided to leap off a boat pier in an attempt to escape a very angry, very trigger-happy Falcone Family enforcer.

    Summary

    Things happen a little bit differently this time, and Jason's death effects the Bat Pack a little(a lot) more than originally expected.
    They're in shambles, and then he comes back.
    But just like everyone else after his death, he came out the other side different.

    Things go wrong a lot for Jason.

    Then, things go a little right for him too. Getting hitched. Having a family with the man he learned to love. Getting to be the parent he always wanted, and dealing with an ever expanding pack of bat brats who disrupt his coffee time in the morning.

    He loves the family life- he really does, but sometimes a guy has just gotta bust some heads.
