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.

Summary
“Affirmative. Drake, you have been exhibiting inconspicuous yet suspicious behavior.”
“Exactly! Couldn’t have said it better! Now, Tim-Tam, care to tell us what you were searching for? I swear, it was just sooo annoying, my phone screaming at me at midnight. Y’know how controlling GothNet could be of security! Has to blare it out to everyone in the vicinity.” A lie.
“I don’t see how that’s any of your business. Both of you.”
A.K.A
After falling in the Lazarus Pit alive and unharmed, Tim Drake comes back to life. In another universe. Will Tim be able to step out of this nightmare version of Gotham with crime organizations instead of vigilantes, or will he fall right into his family's clutches again?

Summary
At fourteen, Tim Drake is no stranger to loneliness. But when his parents die in a plane crash, and a will reveals that Bruce Wayne is his biological father, he’s dropped into a world of vigilantes, legacy, and disappointment. Bruce, caught off-guard and not ready for more family, keeps his distance.
Tim doesn’t push. He’s used to being a shadow.
But shadows notice things. They listen. They help. And while Bruce avoids his newest son, Alfred brings him in—gently, steadfastly, and without question. Tim finds belonging not in the Cave, but in quiet acts of care. In warm mugs of milk. In folded laundry. In the faint scent of his grandmother’s perfume still lingering in the halls.
Bruce may not be ready yet. But Tim is already home.

Summary
Tim Drake has a lot of free time, not a lot of supervision, a loaded credit card, and an appreciation (hyper fixation) for the Rogues of gotham.
Did he intend to master a villain laugh and taunt the bats from rooftops? Well, yes, but it was a joke. Too late now, he's on a roll. (cue music) -

Summary
"He pulls out a knife, relishing in the sound it makes as he plunges it into her abdomen, her chest, her throat. Blood spills out of her in a rush, gurgling like a stream, pouring onto the ground.
She’s crying, tears in her eyes as she grasps against her killer, trying and failing to gain any purchase to defend herself.
He leaves her in the dirt, watching as the light drains from her eyes. Watching as everything turns red red red."

When a series of murders occurs surrounding high school students, Tim finds himself at the center of it...
As a suspect.
In order to clear his name, he finds himself diving deeper into the mystery, where he soon realizes he’s the target of something much bigger than himself.

There was little that Dick Grayson was expecting when he opened the door to desperate knocking at three in the afternoon.
A lost child? A neighbor in need of a cup of sugar?
Definitely not a child holding a baby claiming that it was Dick's baby brother.
Definitely not a kid who said he was being chased by ninjas, and that only Dick could help him.Or
What does Tim Drake do when he learns that his baby brother isn't really his baby brother, but the son of none other than Bruce Wayne? How does he react when ninjas appear to kidnap his baby brother, who he swore to always protect?

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.

(OR: There's a shinobi in Gotham. It's the least of Tim's worries because what do you mean his brother is dating Robin's alter-ego--)

Summary
Timothy Jackson Drake was a genius.
Certifiably, he’d been tested. Twice.
He was also smart.
He had his secret hide out office, his Batman photography hobby, and a foolproof system for managing his well-meaning but often absent parents.
Everything was working exactly as planned.
Then Super Boy Prime punched a hole through reality and Jason Todd clawed his way out of his grave.
Which was good. But decidedly not Tim’s problem.
Or it wasn’t until Tim accidentally photographed a dead Robin wandering around Gotham on Halloween night.
When he couldn’t lead the zombie to Batman, he did what any logical eleven-year-old would do: he solved the puzzle, fed the zombie, and somehow ended up with an overly protective shadow who thought crossing state lines required supervision.
Rude.
Tim was starting to regret his curiosity about riddles.
Timothy Jackson Drake was a genius.
No one could disagree.
He had papers!
But smart?
Yeah, Jason would argue that one.
