Summary
“You’re getting sloppy,” the kid says, sitting ramrod straight in his suit. It’s a professional suit, definitely high class and well-fitted, but it does nothing to disguise his age. Or his nerves. Still, he looks resolved as he opens the locked briefcase by his side and pulls out several blown up charts, laying them on Bruce’s desk with a clear of his throat. “As you can see here, the police have been slowly catching on to your… activities.”

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
When Jason takes his first breath after dying, seven other people take a breath at the same time. He’s still half-dead and won’t be himself until he’s gone crazy with green-tinted madness and dragged himself back from it. But he tastes grave dirt. He also tastes the muggy air of Gotham, chai, an ocean breeze, bitter coffee, burnt sesame oil, cherry lip gloss, and toothpaste. Somehow the sensations are all separate despite the fact that they’re happening at the same time.
Maybe the shock of it is part of what puts him into a coma. Part of what keeps him wandering and confused for a year, chasing sounds and smells that don’t exist to anyone else. It isn’t until he surfaces from the lazarus pit that he remembers that first breath and takes another one.
Things move much quicker after that.
--
or: Jason Todd dies and then he, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, Damian Wayne, Stephanie Brown, Dick Grayson, Duke Thomas, and Barbara Gordon form a (Sense8-inspired) psychic connection. None of them know what's going on. It's slightly frightening and confusing but also- it's better than being alone. This maybe saves all of them. -

Summary
Gotham was planted on rotten soil, the very spirit of the city breathed harsh chemicals and exhaled death.
As in every universe, there was the Dark Knight to protect it all.
But there were always areas where even the caped crusader couldn’t reach.
For instance, the biological child he hadn’t even known existed, right down the road in the cold and lonely white marble mansion. A mausoleum for the child who only dreamed of the family he had to watch in the shadows of rooftops with his camera.
There was never a safe place in the cesspool that was Gotham, not even for those they deemed beasts of legend. Werewolves, who lived and breathed among humans. Some blended in, hidden, and safe, others bold, righteous, and killed.
“Families, packs, they’re all the same, they stay together.” His voice held reassurance, his hands were protective, and in his arms, for once he felt a love he knew he didn’t own. The cape blew in the wind and a little camera shuttered behind them as the timer finally reached and captured the accidental moment of a boy and his hero.
“I don’t have a family.”

Summary
The person who opens the door is tall and lean. Taller than Tim by…five inches? Possibly more. He’s ranging on 5’11, could already be 6’0. He has tiny scars across his face and hands, some scars pretty noticeable against his tanned skin. His green eyes are piercing and vibrant. Part of Tim wants to scream, ‘Bruce took in another!?’ but Tim’s hippocampus recognizes him rather quickly. “Damian?”
“Drake.” The boy (man?) says looking down at Tim. “It is good to see you, I suppose.” Damians hands twitch at his side as if wanting to do something. If Tim knows Damian at all, it’s probably strangle him. Ultimately, he opts out of whatever violent decision he was considering and instead tugs on his hoodie as he opens the door more to allow Tim in.
Tim walks in, looking around the manor for changes. Because Damian becoming a giant with manners can’t be the only one.

Summary
When Tim Drake's father finds out about Robin, suffice to say he's not too pleased. The worst part is that Bruce agrees with him, deciding that Tim will be better off with his dad and new step-mom. Or maybe the worst part is that his dad decides that living in Gotham is too much of a liability and forces him to go to New York City instead.
It doesn't matter. Tim's determined to get Robin back, no matter what it takes. He doesn't need Bruce, and he certainly doesn't need his dad telling him what to do. He's proven himself as Robin before, and he'll prove it again.
If only his plans would stop backfiring on him.

Summary
Upon his arrival in Gotham, Jason knew he needed to take down a drug organisation silently killing people on the street. An apartment complex at the outskirts of Crime Alley was the perfect place to do so.
Except there's a strange boy from the room next door who likes to steal his doormat, leave stupid notes on his front door, and eat takeout on his couch uninvited. And is also possibly involved in criminal activity—what’s a rich kid doing alone in Crime Alley running from the drug ring’s henchmen, and how does he have personal contact with half of the Gotham rogues?
It’s all very annoying. Jason doesn’t care about the kid at all, nope, not one bit.
—
Or how Jason and Tim becoming neighbours again (and eventually roommates) somehow leads to them becoming brothers.

Summary
“Shit,” Dick muttered under his breath as he reached his police car with a very distressing lack of key, “Shit!”
The growl of an engine shook him to his core, and Dick looked up to see something he never thought he’d see in his entire life. The nine year old sat in the driver's seat, face lit with a cunning grin, dimples shining brighter than the morning sun. Any remnant of tears were now gone, as if they never existed as the boy with the once innocent, pitiful puppy-dog eyes laughed in his face.
“Later, Dick!” Tim yelled, with far too much emphasis to just be an acknowledgement of his name. The car rumbled as it skidded onto the road, speeding into the distance, leaving Dick in stunned, horrified silence.
Or
Timothy Drake has one goal: to kill the man that killed his father. If he has to steal a cop car and a gun to do it, so be it.

Summary
Tim Drake is the smartest kid this side of the country. Is he clever enough to solve the most recent string of weirdly related problems plaguing Wayne Enterprises? Maybe--- if only the city’s new vigilantes (and a very well-meaning but aggravating WE director) would stay out of his way.

Summary
As we all know, all rich people dream of adopting a poor little orphan and being a sweet savior in their life. Case in point. That, however, was not the Drakes’ original plan. No, they were simply enjoying a night out at the wrong time. Or, the right time? Who knows. Not me.
And that is how Richard Grayson became–legally, at least–Richard Drake.

Summary
Jason wasn’t coming back from the dead. Dick wasn’t going to leave Bludhaven. Tim was never going to be Robin, and Bruce was only getting worse. It was only a matter of time before his grief and anger destroyed Batman’s symbol and Robin’s legacy.
Tim took a shaky breath as he keyed into his laptop one-handed. The schematics and bare-bones of a plan were already started. He just needed to fine-tune it.
He had to kill the Joker.

Summary
Tim wrestles with the weight of his decision to step away from the life of Robin and pursue college, a move that challenges not only his sense of identity but also his relationship with Bruce. Tim longs for independence, a chance to carve out his own future outside of Gotham's shadow and the Robin mantle. While the path ahead is uncertain, he knows that it's something he has to do.
Expect a long, character-driven Tim Drake-centric college fic where Tim deals with his changing identity and young adulthood as well as eventually balancing his studies with the responsibility he feels to be a hero.
