Summary
Two years after an accident that left Tim without a mask and no real life purpose, he's worked hard to make a new place for himself, to build a home, but the arrival of a hooded vigilante runs the risk of ruining it all.
-
“Is this blackmail?”
“Blackmail? No.” There’s a scoff. “Not real sure what this is yet, t’ be honest. I was plannin’ on shootin’ ya and bein’ done with it but it looks like someone else got to ya first.”
Tim’s smile is brittle at best. “If you don’t know what this is,” he says with all the cold calm instilled in him by Janet Drake. “then perhaps you should come back later. I have animals to feed, Mr…?”
“Red Hood.”
He makes a polite sound, as if that’s as normal a name as any.

Summary
“Uh… Mr. Batman, sir? Are you finally awake?”
Bruce blinked several times as his mind raced and he tried to get his bearings. He’d been… He’d been returning to the cave after patrol, and had been almost home when something huge had crashed in front of the Batmobile. He’d barely swerved out of the way in time, and then he’d gotten out to investigate it. And then he’d touched whatever it was, and it had lit up in red light, and then… then it was now. And now he was lying on the floor of a small, all-white room while a small, dark haired child sat next to him and stared with blatant curiosity.
He sat up with a groan. “Where am I?”
“Some sort of cell on an alien spaceship,” the child said, his voice sounding more annoyed than anything else. “I’ve got an escape plan, though, so don’t worry. I’ll get you out of here.”- Language:

Summary
In the weeks since his parents' death, his take over as CEO of Drake Industries, and basically a complete upheaval of life as he knows it, Tim Drake has been doing everything he can to gain the approval of his company, the press, and the general public. Easy, right?
Except, apparently, there's something more sinister going on beneath DI's shiny veneer. And now Tim's fighting for his life literally, not just metaphorically. Good thing the Bats are there to protect him. But why are these people so interested in his life? Seriously, don't they have better things to do? So long as Tim makes it out alive and the Bats never find out he knows their secret, everything will be fine. Too bad nothing ever goes right for Tim.OR
Tim Drake is a super badass CEO/detective/genius, but even the most resourceful of 16-year-olds needs some help when a crime lord wants them dead.

Summary
Tim Drake is on the way home from school when he's taken by a group of strange men. When he comes to he's tied up in an unfamiliar house.
With his captors failing to reach his parents for ransom, he's able to escape, only to discover he's no longer in Gotham, and he has no way home.
--
“I could, but that’s the fine if you don’t come over next weekend.” Jason explains. “Because now B’s going to be all broody this weekend, and if I have to deal with that two weekends in a row, I get to eat your chips.”
“Alright, fine I’ll come over next weekend if you're so…” Dick trails off as he notices something strange on the sidewalk in front of him. “Jay I’ve got to go, I’ll call you back.”
“Dick, Wha-” Dick hangs up before Jason can finish, he feels bad, but this is more pressing. A small figure is trudging through the storm, occasionally stumbling like they’re injured. Far too tiny to be an adult.

“You know, if you turn me over to the social workers, well… the chances of a kid my age findin’ a decent home are slim–”
“Don’t bet on it, Robin.”
“Robin?” Jason’s head whips around and he stares at Batman in horror, “Robin!?”
Batman’s smile falters, and he starts explaining slowly, “Yes, you’ve proved yourself quite a lot tonight, young man. I think you’d make an excellent Ro–”
“Fuck that!”

Jason, very aggresively, says No to being Robin. This spirals into quite the different life for everyone in the Batfamily!

“I have a great idea!” Dick looks at Jason reluctantly as he continues. “We should prank him! We do it all the time to each other and I'm sure he’ll talk then.”
Dick swung his legs off the top of the couch to sit right up and look at him. “I don't know Jay, we don't know him that well, he might not like it.” Jason shakes his hand in a dismissive way.
“Nothing big, just a small practical joke. I'm sure it will loosen up some of the tension.”“...I guess but what would we do?”
Or
Jason and Dick decide to prank Tim, their next door neighbour who has come to live with them but it doesn't go as planed.

“I haven’t.” Tim confirms, he’d fallen asleep pretty quickly in the car and hadn’t checked the chat that morning. “Is it just a cold or?”
“Just a cold.” Bernard states. “He’s okay.”

Summary
“Basically, there’s something wrong with Gotham. Apparently, things don’t, uh. Stay dead here. And the reason I’m recording this is so that when I inevitably get arrested and thrown into Arkham, at least you’ll know that this is all my mom’s fault, really.”
-If Janet Drake’s body hadn’t been unrecoverable, Tim could have just buried her in Gotham, followed her notes, done the ritual, and he would have had her back alive again. She’d be ecstatic! All her research, all her theories about the mysterious life-bringing properties of Gotham’s soil, confirmed!
But she dies far away, body lost at sea, and all Tim has left of her is an empty basement full of her research, all for nothing...
But it’d be a shame to let his mother’s work go to waste... wouldn’t it? And Jason Todd’s grave is right there, in his neighbors’ family graveyard...

Summary
Tim Drake wants to live his life in peace. Well, whatever peace means for a disabled teen moonlighting as an info broker for Batman. He just doesn't want the Wayne family to barge in his life, he's been handling everything just fine. While saving lives with his rightly timed info and helpful tips he's managed to make himself a secret identity so tightly wrapped that even Batman hasn't managed to find him for the last 5 years.
All that goes away when the Wayne kids barge into his lives and maybe he's too weak to say no to the cutest, most serious 4 year old and also his biological brother, Damian Wayne.Series

Summary
His mind, being helpful for once, circled back to everything Tim had said before Jason got sidetracked with the whole knowing-their-secret-identities-since-he-was-nine thing. Something about a curse…people forgetting Robin if he were to take up the cape…constantly checking that Jason knew his name…
“Jesus Christ, kid,” Jason said finally. “Were you cursed to have everyone forget your existence?”
Or: Tim Drake is cursed to be forgotten by everyone he meets, over and over again. Somehow, Jason Todd is the only one who can remember him.

Summary
“For the record, I totally didn’t send this,” Jason declares, resting his fists judgmentally on his hips and wrinkling the bridge of his nose as he takes in the envelope’s exterior details. “I wouldn’t embarrass myself by printing the address for Wayne Manor in Comic Sans. And I definitely wouldn’t use whatever fresh hell that return address is printed in.”
Taking the bagged envelope in hand again, Bruce moves to the Batcomputer and pulls up the folder of fonts on the system. He glances between the envelope and the sample screen for the font he’d already suspected would be a match.
But clocking the font name gives him a great deal of pause. “Jokerman,” he finally declares in a growl through clenched teeth.
Tim, as it turns out, may not be Jack Drake’s son, but Bruce Wayne’s already got kids he picked out personally. That’s okay though, because Tim’s got a plan for how to deal with this revelation—it’s not like he needs acknowledgement from a second father that doesn’t want him, anyway.
