    Summary

    Question time: What if Tim and the rest of his assassin friends *did* die when the Council of Spiders attacked? If Tim and his team were thrown into the Lazarus pit? What would become of Tim, and what would Tim become?

    After two years in the League of Assassins, Tim leaves for... reasons, and ends up swinging back by Gotham to add just one more contingency plan. In doing so, he gets literally everyone's attention and now instead of enjoying his brief vacation, he's stuck dealing with Dick, Jason, whatever it is Ra's is trying to do, and everyone else slowly finding out that he isn't dead (and some people finding out that he died in the first place). Can't a guy get a break? (No he can't, sorry Tim!)

    Summary

    Summary

    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

    EDIT- Authors curse has struck, SO possible hiatus heads up, might post, but probs no comment reply for now <333
    ____

    Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
    A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.

    But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
    Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.

    Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
    Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"

    They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.

    Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.

    Summary

    Going down the stairs to the cave, Dick mentally prepared himself and his speech only to be caught completely off guard by Tim.

    “Hey Tim, I wanted to-”

    Anxiety filled Tim’s body, like a deer caught in headlights, he was putting on a new costume. Black like Cass’ outfit, dark gray pants and belt, white lines in the boots, arms and cape. A small black domino covered Tim’s eyes. He had a cowl shaped like a bird’s head and was just about to put it on when Dick walked in.

    “Hey Dick…”

    Dick didn’t really know how to feel, contradicting feelings were taking over him. He wanted Tim to grow into his own hero, but seeing Tim now made his gut twist.

    “You have a new costume. Uh, great! I could really use some help, and I’m sure that-... Oh wait! I didn’t even ask for your new name! What did you choose, baby bird?”

    Tim opened his mouth but closed it soon after, looking away towards a duffle bag. Dick’s heart began to race. He took a single step forward and Tim retreated closer to the bag.

    “Timmy?”

    “I’m not staying.”

    A.K.A.:
    (Alternate Universe) A scenario in which Tim ditches Robin after Bruce "dies" and Dick walks in as Tim is about to leave Gotham.

    Summary

    By day, Tim Drake is Gotham’s enigmatic Drake Industries heir—charming, polished, untouchable.

    By night, he is The Rook, a shadowy kingpin running a network dedicated to protecting the city’s most vulnerable.

    When a mysterious killer begins targeting workers under his protection, Tim must race against the clock to uncover the culprit before everything he’s built comes crashing down. The clock is ticking, the bodies are piling up, and Gotham’s Bats are circling too… curious, relentless, and dangerously close.

    This time, the game is personal.

    Summary

    It’s not like he’s surprised a magic school exists— that’s probably only a seven on the scale of “crazy things Tim Drake has seen”. No, Tim’s just surprised he’s enrolled.

    Summary

    If asked about him, the few people who have interacted with him will say, “Timothy Drake? Why, he’s such a polite little child! Timothy’s a darling, his father’s a Hunter, hear? Jack’s one of the world’s finest, and don’t forget about Janet either. She’s the best tracker money will find you. I’m sure the kid will grow up just like them. Timothy is a Drake through and through.”

    His father would place his hands on Tim’s shoulders, nudging him forward with a broad, charming grin. His mother would smile too, sharp and cold and cunning.

    If asked about him, people would not doubt that he’s a human. Timothy acts like a human, smells like a human, and has a Hunter for a father! Why would Timothy Jackson Drake be anything other than human?

    =====

    Tim Drake is a bastardized lovechild between the Huli Jing, Kitsune, and Fae myths- THAT’S what this series is about.

    Summary

    “Let’s get this over with,” the villain gritted out. “Pick up the kid. The sooner we move, the better.”

     

    “Wait,” Damian called out before he could take his first step. “I want to establish a truce first. You don’t hurt me or Robin, I don’t hurt you.”

     

    Through body language alone he could tell Radar was rolling his eyes. “Whatever. Deal. Just don’t expect me to protect you if we run into them.” 

     

    Damian frowned. “Who?”

     

    He turned back and smirked, “Your dear grandpa’s henchmen. Didn’t think I was running through Gotham for fun, did you?”

    OR

    Reverse Robins AU where Damian's the eldest, Tim died and came back, Jason is Robin and they're all trapped in Gotham's underground tunnel system with the League of Assassins at their back.

    Oh, and one more thing... Damian and Jason don't know who is behind that Radar mask, the man who somehow knows their identities and knows exactly how to push their buttons, but Damian will be damned if he lets his little brother out of his sight again. He was not going to repeat the same mistake.

    Now what does Tim have to say about that?

    Summary

    When Ra's al Ghul pushed Tim Drake out of a window after he foiled his plots again, he did something and the vigilante disappeared. Six months later, and through a completely unrelated summoning to an alternate dimension's Sun God, Tim reappeared both five years older and part of the crew of the King of Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy.

    Now stuck in his home dimension for a month until they can be sent back home, due to bullshit magic reasons, Tim has to face the Batfamily that he had left behind, reckon with a couple of old ghosts, and deal with Bruce Wayne's ever-increasing paranoia in the wake of his disappearance. Luckily, Tim is older, theoretically wiser, and knows that his crew has his back.

    (And, in flashbacks, Tim grows into the pirate he is today: the Shadow of the King.)

    Summary

    After presenting as a Sub Tim wasn’t sure what his plan in life would be. Then a night of networking turned into catching the attention of Batman and his sons, and Tim couldn’t say no to the job of being their live in sub. Sure it was a more archaic job, but it wasn’t totally unheard of. The pay would be good, and more importantly the sex was sure to be fun.

    Summary

    Tim never got the recognition that he deserved for all his work. At least not from the ones he worked along side with. Weirdly it was always the ones he defeated and worked against that actually appreciated his efforts.

    1 year away from Gotham. 1 year without Bruce and he realized why Bruce was always so hard on him. Why Bruce always kept him busy and made sure to keep an eye on him. It wasn't because he wasn't good enough, it was precisely because he had too much potential. Without Bruce there to keep him in line, he crossed a lot of lines and now walks a morally grey path.

    Bruce is back now though, so vacations over. It's time to return to Gotham and face the music. What will happen when Tim shows up after a year of radio silence much different than before. What happened?
