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.

Tim Drake died when Robin cut his line. There was no flag pole or ledge to catch himself on. No backup grapple at the ready. Lucky for him, Gotham has never been one to give up her soldiers. Now an undead that is permanently bound to Gotham as her protector, Tim learns the importance of self-worth. And that maybe his "family" isn't what's best for him.
-or-
Tim heard Jason joking about being a zombie and said, "hold my beer." Featuring semi-sentient Gotham.

Summary
Tim had a plan.
It was a great plan even.
He was going to ease the vigilante into what his problem was.
He was expecting a proper conversation, with some side conversations appearing.
What he wasn’t expecting was this.
“GBL097JK239712LP01” Tim blurted out.
Well, fuck.
That wasn’t a part of the plan.------

My take on Tim's first Ivy confrontation!
featuring Tim being cute, Ivy being a real person with feelings, and Dick "dealing" with Tim's horrible, terrible, no good past
(the contents of this have absolutely nothing to do with canon; I haven't even read their first canon interaction)---------
"Tim, buddy, how are you feeling? Can you talk to me?" Dick asked. He felt like the logical next step was an attempt at communication.He could feel Tim vibrating with the effort of talking, or mumbling, but it was covered by his suit, so Dick sat up straight, holding Tim against his chest tightly. Once they were sat up, and Tim's mouth wasn't covered by Dick's costume, Dick tried again.
"Are you okay?"
"No, I'm obviously not okay, Dick. But I feel amazing," Tim said with a slight giggle.
"Okay... what does that mean?" Dick asked. Tim was lucid enough to speak, but not in a regular state of mind. Where exactly was he, in terms of mental groundedness?
Tim rested his head against Dick's chest further, sighing and closing his eyes as he responded. "I need contact. My inhibitions are gone. I get to be selfish," Tim almost whispered the last part.

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
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
The old man turned to him in shock at his hurried entrance. "Master Tim? What's the matter?"
Tim— Tim didn't know. It was too much. Too many things at once. He didn't know where to start. What if Jason was going to die? What if Bruce was already dead? He didn't know. This was too big, this was—
Facts. He just needed the facts.
Fact #1. "Batman's comms and cowl footage went static," Tim said.
Fact #2. "Nightwing and the others are looking for him, but he and Spoiler are caught up in a fight."
Fact #3. "Jason has a fever of 104."
Fact #4. "There's no one in the manor available except us two."

“Oh, Mr. Batman, sir!”
He froze.
“I’m so glad I found you!”
“What happened?”
He was dead, he was dead, he was going to die. The people said that the Batman didn’t kill, but no one knew for sure. And Jason was currently holding a jacked tire of his very expensive and probably very precious car. He was dead.
“I saw the man who mugged my sister running over there.”
Wait, what?
“Come on, come on, he’ll get away!”
Jason watched as the kid’s small shadow tugged at Batman’s cape and started leading him away from the alley.

Summary
It was a normal enough night. Nothing was out of the ordinary during patrol and no major rogues had been spotted. Everyone was home and at ease. It was quiet, pleasant and calm.
So no one had given a second thought when Bruce disappeared into the medbay, muttering about getting an aspirin for a headache. That was the first sign.
He was in his Batman suit despite the fact that they had already changed half an hour ago. That was the second sign that they all missed.
Tim should have known something was up. Then maybe, what happened next could have been avoided.
OR
Gun Batman (Evil Tim from the future) comes back.
