Summary
One of Gotham City’s iconic “Robins”, Tim Drake was transported to a strange medieval world with no memory of how he arrived. Mistaken for a rebel soldier by the Imperial Legion, he found himself facing execution in the town of Helgen. His life was ultimately spared not by mercy or justice, but by the cataclysmic appearance of a black dragon that razed the town of Helgen and left him with agonizing physical and psychological wounds.
As he struggles to survive in this new land of Skyrim, Tim's main goal is to find a way home. However, this mission is continually derailed by the needs of the locals, his own near crippling injuries, and the looming threat of the dragon he had the misfortune to survive.

Summary
She looked at him. Really looked at him.
Nightwing was trembling. She could see the quivering of his shoulders now. The grave expression he had on, she now spotted, was just a mask for how scared he really was.
But… why?
“There— there are some— some people,” he went on to say, “They’re after us to r— rape my little brother and I— I can’t fight them while carrying him too. I need— I need your help. Please.”

Summary
He hesitated, hesitated but nonetheless replied, “I got blasted by cuddle pollen. It’s why I tripped. It’s why I got caught.”
The line went dead silent.
Tim clenched his fists as the pale figure uncovered his face. “I’m sorry.”
The line split off into a cacophony of sounds. But Tim couldn’t hear any of it, because the stone and crumbles of cement and wood slipped off the purple suit and the pale man sat up, a hand going to his sickeningly green hair.
He was trapped. Trapped within a building’s remains with a conscious Joker, dipped head-to-toe in cuddle pollen which was already starting to become close to unbearable without human touch.
OR
A cuddle-pollened Tim gets stuck in a collapsed building with the Joker.

Summary
Ambitious like his father, the media preached as Timothy saved DI from collapse. Clever like his mother, they wrote as Timothy bought up small seemingly unprofitable industries and made them bloom under his company’s care, bringing DI’s stocks back to their former glory within a year. A true son of Gotham, they said as Timothy developed his offices in the city and went above and beyond to pay his workers fair wages. Selfless, they called him as Timothy reduced his own salary to ensure DI would survive these changes, sacrificing his time and dreams to keep the company afloat. Tragic, they all but wrote in every article, unable to keep themselves from rehashing his parents’ deaths.
At only 19, Tim is one of the youngest CEOs in the world. He’s certainly the youngest CEO of a fortune 200 company.
And yet, it takes little to make his empire collapse like a house of cards.

Whatever Happened to Tim Drake? - [OMNIBUS] by Tinhatflash53

Summary
"Tim Drake has made a terrible mistake. He has inadvertently brought a child into the world, and now he needs to make sure that the world is safe for it to grow up in. So, in his first, last, and only year as Red Robin, Tim travels the world in order to rescue Bruce, then disappears to raise his son."
That's how he wished it had happened. Oh, to only be a single father on the run from the law; what a wonderful world it would be if that were the only thing that had gone wrong in his life.
But Tim had long since learned his lesson; good things simply didn't happen to him. Why else would there be so much blood on his hands?
(This work is an omnibus of an entire series! Readers may find more digestible chunks easier to follow than this!)

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
His eyes stayed on the corner where the white light glowed, unwavering and unwilling to look away from the danger.
The danger.
The danger that was a boy with no legs who glowed white.
The danger that had eyes that shone green.
A bright, illuminating green that pierced through the dark and emanated the promise of blood and pain. The green that had taken over his entire vision at Titans Tower and brought out the rawest, most broken-down parts of him. The green that had belonged to his personal torturer who slit his throat and left him for dead.
And it was slowly approaching him, inching closer and closer at a sickeningly slow pace, playing with him, toying with him.

The Time I Got Clickbaited By A Cat by quotidian_void
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics)

Tags
Summary
The title says it all. Tim got clickbaited by a cat into reliving his greatest fear.
~
“Mrrr,” she pointed at a tent. It was the Horror House. One of the worst scary businesses in Gotham. Toddler parties happened there.
“Why did you take me to—” Tim widened his eyes. “Hang on a minute.” He pulled out his wrist holo-computer and looked up his location. “Fucking hell, T. You led me right at the edge of Fort Clinton!” He turned to glare at the cat. “You want me to get fear-gassed?”
T smiled. Creepily.
“Riiiight,” Tim narrowed his eyes. “Well, it’s been fun and all, but, uh, I really need to get home.” He took a step back. “I know you’re a smart one, so you can probably take care of yourself. Don’t hold it against me for what I’m about to do.” He broke into a run.
T wasn’t any old mangy cat. Tim, through his love for cats and the distracting growing pile of dread in his stomach, had been ignoring all the warning signs. Cats that can understand what a human is saying on the first meeting and can lead directions? That was a neon sign saying danger.
Tim was right, Damian would be jealous. Jealous of his utter blissful naivety.
