Summary
UPDATED SUMMARY (11-8-25)
Jason Todd didn’t plan on fatherhood.
But a daughter who heals like Lazarus water she’s never touched wasn’t supposed to exist either.Now the family death built in the shadows of crime and justices is bleeding out slowly, its veins full of memory and ruin.
Memory that Tim Drake feels shifting one at a time, an infection of the mind.
Ruin that Damian fears is his future as he reaches for a legacy not written in blood— trusting in a mirror who doesn’t know whether to stay.
Ra’s al Ghul’s empire is fracturing as his daughter builds her own from its wreckage.
Slade burns for revenge.
And LexCorp’s experiments have left Conner- Kon- scrambled between obsession, love, and identity.Meanwhile, Owls whisper the hunt of Lazarus Blood— and the very Pits they seek to control are ill and fractured in trading decay for something what is still alive.
Between chaos, comedy, love, and loyalty, we learn blood doesn’t make family.
But what’s in the veins can be the difference between the dead and the undying.

Summary
Dick is having a midlife crisis at the ripe old age of 17. Why did Batman have to fire him from being Robin? Life had been going so well.

Deathstroke the Terminator doesn't have time to take care of stubborn, sleep deprived, sassy teenage vigilantes, but yet here he is, with a houseful of them.
Whenever Batman fires, or loses one of his Robins, Slade is there to snatch them up and add them to his ever growing collection of Pre-Owned Birds and Bats.
AKA: Slade Wilson's adoption arc!
All the Batkids find a way into Slade's life (and home) whether he wants them there or not! -

Summary
This is the beginning of a story. The start of many stories in-fact.
The start of a bat claiming a city of darkness.
The start of arrows flying in the city of stars.
This is the beginning of Tim Drake’s story.
—-Timothy Drake is thrown back to the boarding school days of people he thought he knew. He can’t change what he knows will happen. His actions have ripples, effects on these people he knows. There is a reason Bruce found out he’s good at being a detective. There is a reason Oliver Queen gets on the boat.
There is a reason.
Timothy Drake is that reason.

Summary
“Uh-huh. Sure. Okay.” Peter doesn’t know if it’s better to believe the stalker or not. “And what’s your deal, Tim? Why are you squatting on my fire escape like a raccoon?”
“I don’t know.”
Peter waits. “...You don’t know.”
“Not really. I just — ended up here.” Tim’s brow furrows. “You’re the only one who can see me, aren’t you?”
Or: Peter Parker is being haunted by an amnesiac ghost named Tim — who may or may not have once been a hero.

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 carved himself a place with the Wayne's. He bled for a chance to don a domino mask. He endured condescension, attempts on his life that were met with no reprimand, he even endured Robin - the one thing he had left - being taken and given to Damian. He went on a trip around the goddamn world just to find Bruce after he was lost in the timestream. He cried, fought, bled, underwent medical malpractice, and still found his adopted father. All to be met with no apologies for his eldest brother's threats of Arkahm, and a request for his emancipation so Bruce wouldn't have to run Wayne Enterprises.
Tim Drake-Wayne dropped the hypenation.
He was never a Wayne, and he finally realized it.

Presented with an opportunity he can’t waste, Tim fixes everything, but at a cost no one remembers. They’ve forgotten it all.
They’ve forgotten him.
He convinces himself it's better this way...because it is.

Summary
Tim didn't exactly decide to create a drag persona and become the sidekick of Gotham's newest rogue. Jason needed help, and it's not Tim's fault that his idea of a second persona is even worse than Tim's. So you see, Tim has no time for this identity crisis thing, he's too busy making sure Jason doesn't die a second time. Also, that new Robin needs to get brought down a peg or two.
Jason knows change is scary but he also knows he's right about his plans for Gotham. He even has his list in priority order:
1. find and kill the Joker.
2. figure out what to do with the stray he's somehow acquired.
3. deal with Batman, Nightwing and the rest.
Now if he could just stop with the doubts and the soul-searching and get onto the murder and the explosions…Dick has a bad feeling about everything. This new Red Hood guy, his too-clever sidekick, the new Robin, Bruce's most recent bout of brooding… Even Barbara is acting like she's got something to hide and, worse, Tim has chosen now of all possible times to implode and disappear. Dick has no time for Gotham's bullshit. His little brother needs him!

Summary
The last thing Tim remembers was falling. He remembers the sound of his beating heart and the whipping wind, the lights blurring past and remembering the grappling hook in his belt. But most of all he remembers the overwhelming calm that settled in his mind and numbed his insides, the foreign feeling of peace seeping into his bones. He completed his mission. For Bruce.
He shouldn't have survived a fall from that height, but judging from the unfamiliar location he's woken up to and the bandages currently covering his skin he must've had a little help. Tim is so not looking forward to another lecture.
Or
What if Dick wasn't there to catch Tim from falling but Jason was.

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.
