Summary
“How will I know you’re not going to just kidnap me?” Dick asked, gripping his escrimas tighter.
“I don’t know, Grayson,” Slade sighed, impatient. “I have something to show you, you can either come with me to see it or not. The choice is yours.”
But it wasn’t a choice at all, was it? Whatever Slade had to show Dick was something serious and something he deeply cared about and they both knew it.

Summary
Tim may or may not be a stalker. He hasn't quite decided yet. Like, yes, he stalks Jason Todd... but Jason Todd is dead...
Maybe Informant was a better word for him.
Without Jason around to photograph, he didn't have many options left. Yet, if there was anything ever true about Tim Drake, it was his need to insert himself in Batman's life, even if that meant forcing Batman to Batman.
And if Batman wanted him to get intel on Red Hood, then he supposed he would... No one said anything about not dating him too...
(Or, Informant Tim x Red Hood Jason where they start dating before Tim knows it's Jason and then stuff happens that moves plot.)

Summary
“Hey b, you think you could make it over here?” He asked over the coms, praying silently that the man was actually wearing his com this time.
Tim often wondered when he would die in the field. There had never been a doubt that he would, it was just the fact.
Sometimes he wondered if it would be at the hands of Batman himself, but he always pushed those thoughts away as soon as they came up.
No, he would most likely die in a moment like this.
Needing back up and realizing he was alone in this.
Like always, right?
“Seems like you’re losing, Replacement,” a distorted voice said from behind him
or;
When Jason Todd and Tim Drake were kidnapped by the Joker, Jason died. Later, he comes back to life, but he thinks Tim died in the kidnapping too. Little does he know that the "replacement" he's set on killing is his long-lost best friend. And his best friend seems to have a strange talent in finding abusive adults to be around.

Summary
“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.

Static buzzed in Tim’s ears as the ceremony began. A pale woman with a slender frame and short ebony hair slinked towards the stage, waving happily to the audience.
“Welcome! Welcome! To the 74th Annual Hunger Games!” The capitol woman chuckled merrily. “This is gonna be such fun! I look forward to another entertaining year!”

The Future Is Set In (Eroding) Stone by quotidian_void

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.

Summary
It was Barbara who brought it up first. The Drake Kidnapping hadn’t pinged as high priority on Batman’s To Do List. That is until Bruce started looking into their son. For Tim’s part, he never wanted to be a hero. It seems like the universe has other ideas.

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
Tim was always cunning, but in that quick-witted, charming way he had. This cunning was Tim giving him the same look Jason had seen in the mirror after he had stuffed ten mutilated heads in a duffel bag. The same reflection Jason saw in himself after he had slit Tim's throat, sent mad by the Lazarus Pit.
That was the moment he knew - whoever this was, it wasn't his brother.
---
Something is wrong with Tim. Jason is the only one to notice.
