    Summary

    “Tim, was the dinosaur in the basement real? I thought it was just a robot, but…”

    “Why do you ask?”

    “Wayne seems weirdly knowledgeable about dinosaurs.”

    Well. Good to know the plan didn’t fail miserably.

    or

    In a desperate attempt to get Robin back, Tim makes an insane plan to make his dad hate Bruce a little less.

    This plan ends up working a little too well.

    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.”

    Summary

    “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!

    Summary

    “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.

    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 just wanted to go trick-or-treating as Robin this year. He had been working so hard on his costume and it looked so authentic, he really just wanted it to be appreciated.

    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.

    Summary

    It hadn’t been a good day, a good week or a good month. Most of all months since Jason Peter Todd had tragically died had been bad.
    On one such night with a heavy rain that only ever got worse, Tim found himself once more at the gravesite, sitting in silent contemplation.

    As he sat in front of the grave the rain almost drowned the sounds out. Almost. Because there were loud, curious sounds coming from below Tim. Only, below Tim was dirt and bones… or at least that’s what was supposed to be there. But those sounds, scratching and eery groaning did not sound like mice or whatever else built their burrows deep in the mud.

     

    Wide eyed, Tim took a few steps back and listened more closely. There was banging, like someone was hitting wood with something hard, but it was muffled. Very muffled. Was this… a zombie attack? This was Gotham of course, so there was no telling what might have happened, but there was definitely something moving in the burial ground of the last ever Robin. What if it was Robin? He had to help!

    or: Tim is there when Jason wakes up and it changes the course of history for the better

    Summary

    “I don’t think you have a leg to stand on lecturing me about moving out.” Tim deflected.

    “You know that’s not what I'm saying.” Jason said, tone stark in its seriousness. “What did Bruce fuck up? Why the shift across the country?”

    “Why do you even care?” Tim shook his head, stepping back and moving to stride away into his kitchen.

    “You know, I always thought you had it easy.” Jason said finally, and it hung in the air for a moment. “I figured, you had gotten the same version of Bruce I did. But that’s not true, is it?”

    Tim looked down at the beer bottle Jason set down on his table and, for all that he felt he was about to be sick already, blurted out, “I’m not having this conversation sober.”

     

    or, maybe being robin messed tim up a little bit

    Summary

    Tim Drake—a bored, wealthy, 18-year-old, who never became the next Robin. He maintains his obsession with Batman and Robin, and continues to follow, investigate, and photograph Batman and his close associates. He knows the identities of every, or almost every, Bat family member and some other heroes. He’s smart, he’s being recruited by all kinds of universities and government agencies for his programming and hacking skills, but…his life is empty. He wants something exciting to happen. Anything.

    He never dreamed of actually stepping foot in the same bar as Jason Todd, his favorite enigma, but boredom will push a heinously wealthy honors student to do stupid things.

    Summary

    There is a Russian phrase, Перед смертью не надышишься, or ‘you cannot breathe enough before death’. Tim wished he could tell you it was a cool idiom, but it was not. Although, Tim had always found the phrasing interesting even if it had a different meaning.

    Because it was true, no amount of breathing could stop death from coming.

      я люблю все эти штуки с призраками
      круто и грустно одновременно
      смерть отстой
      насильственная смерть еще хуже

      в этой истории мне так нравится, как Тим показан реально подростком — саркастичный засранец, незнающий когда нужно остановится (поэтому я и люблю этого персонажа)
      юмор ❤️🔥
      детективная часть захватывает не на шутку!!
      люблю ❤️

    Summary

    The Drakes have never been kind. Life has not allowed Tim to be so either. But Tim knows the Waynes are kind. He’s seen them at galas and in the capes. He used to think Batman would come save him. By age twelve, Tim has been planning his escape for years. Batman is not coming to save him. When Jason dies, Tim uses the distractions of grief and the press to disappear. Tim Drake doesn’t exist. The Crow, information broker and potential Gotham cryptid, begins operating out of the Narrows. Ruthless and a little unhinged, with a soft spot for helping civilians, Crow makes good money. Enough to keep his network of informants paid and a nest to sleep in anyway. When Red Hood reaches out for information, almost three years after Tim's escape, Crow must oblige. Jason, upon seeing that the entity that scares the villains and crime lords of Gotham looks like a twelve year old kid, can feel his adoption sense tingling. Time to call in the reinforcements.

    Summary

    Two weeks and four days after Jason Todd’s funeral, Tim Drake realized Batman couldn’t be Jason’s legacy. He was eating cereal while watching the news, typing up notes about what had been going on in Gotham and occasionally remembering to actually take a bite of his breakfast. Batman was getting worse; it was only a matter of time before someone died. And not someone like the Joker (who honestly deserved it), but somebody who had no other option than to hold up the local corner store. So what could he do?

    Looking back, he wasn’t entirely sure why he’d decided that becoming a Rogue was his best option.
