Summary
Tim may or may not be a stalker. He hasn't quite decided yet. Like, yes, he stalks Jason Todd... but Jason Todd is dead...
Maybe Informant was a better word for him.
Without Jason around to photograph, he didn't have many options left. Yet, if there was anything ever true about Tim Drake, it was his need to insert himself in Batman's life, even if that meant forcing Batman to Batman.
And if Batman wanted him to get intel on Red Hood, then he supposed he would... No one said anything about not dating him too...
(Or, Informant Tim x Red Hood Jason where they start dating before Tim knows it's Jason and then stuff happens that moves plot.)

Summary
Talon only has one mission. One purpose in its life. That purpose is to protect the young Talon it has claimed as its family. Only Talon can't protect the child on its own. It can't stop the Court from killing the child. So Talon's only hope is to find outside help. Only the Bats are really bad at swearing they would protect 'it'.
Also, Talon would like to know who Tim is and why the bats keep calling it Tim?!
Also known as Talon(1) babysits a Talon(2) and to protect Talon(2), Talon(1) plans to throw Talon(2) at the bats and leave. Unfortunately, the bats don't agree with the 'never see Talon(2) agian' part of the plan or the part where Talon(1) has to go back.

Summary
Dick stares at the barren room in the Tower and wonders, exactly, how things had gotten so bad. Surely, there were clues as to what brought them to this point—clues that would show him what he missed—clues that would explain why exactly things still were so wrong when he was doing everything he could to make them right.
Past experiences had briefly knocked Dick’s sense of connection with his little brother down quite a few pegs, but he truly believed they had had a break through when Tim came home for the all hands. Hell, Tim told him he loved him and initiated a hug with him, so what more could he have asked for?
Dick thought he could be happy with that little bit of progress. Except now, here he was, leaning against the doorway of the room Tim was supposedly living in in the Tower with hot soup and medicine in his bag, and there was no Tim.
And, for that matter, there was no Damian.
Dick was, as much as he tried to deny it, a little pissed.

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
"Vampirism, by its very nature, is insidious. Like a parasite, or more accurately a virus, it exists for one singular purpose: to replicate. To spread. To survive. It inhabits a host, twists them, immortalises them, reconfigures their instincts until the need to seek out new prey becomes as essential as breath once was.
At least, that's what scholars suggest.
Bruce often found himself lost in that theory, particularly during the long, restless stretches of night when his fangs ached with no clear cause. He wondered, with a distant kind of numbness, whether that persistent ache was really purpose. Was this why he longed, almost obsessively, for some unsuspecting human to wander into his path? Was it vampirism nudging him to seek out new life, not simply to feed, but to share the curse? To propagate?
But even that thought felt incomplete. Deep down, Bruce knew it wasn’t just the hunger or the need to spread. He yearned for more than a victim. He craved a student."
OR: Vampires think that humanity went extinct, but they’re wrong. Teenager Tim is the last human alive in a world of vampire Batfam. Adoption ensues.

When Jason Todd finds him half-dead in an alleyway, the overdose is only half of the problem.
Saving someone's life is easy. Keeping them alive after, not so much.

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
"I know you received and responded to my last letter, but I still know in my heart that this letter may never reach you. Nonetheless, I must send it. I miss you, and I believe that I will always miss you. Living with the burden of honoring the al Ghul name sometimes feels like too much to bear alone. The only connection I have to you is through my writing, that is why I cannot give it up, even though you might not receive this letter. I have taken my rightful place as Robin and brought honor to the al Ghul name, but still I long to come home. I want to see you and Grandfather once more, to walk in the sunlit halls of Nanda Parbat instead of these cold, dark, stone corridors. Perhaps this longing makes me weak, but I cannot keep it from growing stronger with each passing day."
Aka: Damian still misses his mother very much.

Summary
Tim Drake didn't quite know what he was agreeing to four years ago, but he tried to make the best of it! Using notes from his past (future?) self, he (somewhat messily) tried to help everyone his other self cared for. Now, it's four years later and he can mostly ignore the second set of memories lying in the back of his brain. It'd be much easier if Dick Grayson would just leave him alone. If Tim believed in destiny he might actually think that the universe cared about what was lost.
Dick Grayson has spent the last year feeling like he's veered off course. Something keeps itching at the back of his brain. He's missed some clue. Helena Bertinelli's promised to help him crack down on human trafficking, but Dick thinks her foster kid might actually be more help in that department.

Summary
One of the most dangerous things for a vigilante were slow nights. The quiet before the storm was always the norm, thinking that time would be different would be a dangerous game. Yet the nights passed and the calmness remained.
Red Hood expected big explosions and noise, a villain that stopped taking his sweet time to put in action some new horrible plot for Gotham. What he didn’t expect was to find himself hooked on a bartender that made him return to the same place when his mind screamed too loud.
He should be alert, not distracted by light icy blue eyes that took his breath away.

Summary
Dick nods solemnly as if thoughtfully considering his options, while only managing to panic slightly at the blatant adoption bait Jason dragged home, with dark hair and those tell-tale blue eyes too old for that small of a body. From Dick’s peripheral vision, Jason watches the interaction knowingly, as if to say; you see it—you see it too.

At the thought of his parents returning, a smile broke out across his face as childish excitement filled his body. It had been quite a long time since he had seen his parents.
or
Tim loves Christmas because it means the promise his parents will come home and he gets to watch as the loving communities that come together during the holidays finally meets his own home. However, as Christmas arrives he gets a phone call that makes him question how much his parents value their promise, as he's left alone in his dark home for Christmas.
