    Summary

    “Why does everything look like Batman designed it while listening to emo music?” Bart quips, poking at a holographic table.

    Kon groans, gesturing to his alternate self’s look. “And whats with this? Where’s my jacket? My style?”

    “You’re already, like 50% spandex, 50% existential crisis,” Bart snickers.

    Tim pinches the bridge of his nose. “Behave, please. We don’t need to make this worse.”

    “Or,” Bart grins, “we teach them chaos. Reverse stealth, anyone?”

    “Absolutely not,” Tim mutters. “Act normal.”

    Bart strikes a ridiculous pose. “I am normal.”

    Cassie steps in, rolling her eyes. “Yeah, totally normal. I’ve never seen anyone strike that pose and not get kicked out of a building.”

    Bart winks. “I’m misunderstood, but that’s your thing, right?”

    Kon smirks. “At least someone knows how to joke around.”

    Tim narrows his eyes. “No more jokes. Act like you’ve been here before.”

    Cassie raises an eyebrow. “Yeah, right.”

    “Oh, and to answer your question, Bart,” Kon deadpans, “doesn’t Batman already listen to emo music by default?”

    Tim sighs heavily. “Enough.”

    Summary

    Tim is good at galas.

    No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

    Summary

    Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.

    Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)

    And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.

    Sort of.

    Summary

    “I have time.”

    Tim does not, in fact, have time.

    But it’s Nightwing who is calling. What’s he going to do—say no? Preposterous. That's a crime in and of itself. Tim would rather swallow nails and kiss his mother goodnight than say no to Dick Grayson. “How can I help you, Nightwing?”

    Summary

    Tim Drake learns to live.

    Through unloving parents, through Robin, and through retirement, Tim learns what this complicated thing called life is all about. He didn’t ask to be born but he’ll survive his parents. Jason was never supposed to die and leave Gotham with a violent Batman, but Tim will solve that as well.

    He’ll soldier through it like he soldiers through everything else: with a metric fuck tonne of caffeine served with a side of depression and rage against the world.

    He just wishes he didn’t have to attend so many funerals.

    Summary

    Tim only tries to do the right thing when he takes the position of Robin, but everyone seems to hate him for it. He feels unwanted wherever he goes.

    This is the story of how Tim Drake became Robin and how he became red robin in a world where everyone that he calls family seems to hate him, except for his dead brother Jason that for some reason seems to hate everyone except for his little brother.

    (This is my own spin on how everything happened. Canon does not matter.)

    Summary

    Jason is having a hell of a time trying to find his Replacement. Sure, he’s got a name from Talia: Timothy Drake. And he’s looked up the kid’s school records: perfect everything. Perfect grades. Perfect attendance. His school photo shows perfectly slicked-back hair and not one wrinkle on his Gotham Academy jacket. Wow, Bruce really won the lottery with his newest child soldier.

    Infuriating.

    Jason tries to do a little hate-stalking, but that’s where things go a bit weird. Timothy Drake has his own fuckin’ mansion right next to Bruce’s, but when he swings by Drake Manor, it’s oddly empty and devoid of life. Weird. Jason tracks down a penthouse in the Diamond District, but it seems to be falsified records because there’s a whole different rich guy living there.

    What the fuck. Where does the Replacement go when he’s not Robin?

    ---------

    Jason is having a hard time finding Tim Drake, but he's been running into a kid by the name of Alvin Draper in the Alley.

    In the meantime, Tim Drake totally has 5-step plan to get Jason and Bruce to reconcile! Nothing will go wrong. :P

    Summary

    “You saw the body?” Jason asks. It’s a stupid question—of course Tim saw it. Tim was the one who found it, who rolled it into the carpet in the first place. But there’s a second question wrapped up in his strangled tone, which is: Are you okay after seeing the body?

    Tim just purses his lips, almost indignant. “This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a corpse before, Jason.”

    Right, Jason thinks, but it’s the first time the corpse has been your own fucking dad.

    Tim is desperate to keep his father’s death a secret from Bruce at all costs. Which is how he ends up hiding a body with Jason Todd, of all people.

    Summary

    Tim Drake is a solitary creature, whether by necessity or by natural predisposition. But he’s good at being alone. He’s learned to enjoy his own company, to take solace in his own cognizance. Aided by the brisk air of Gotham’s night air and a thrilling sense of independence, Tim learns that some things feel more special when you get to keep them for yourself. Unaccompanied walks down the school halls and singular movie tickets and dinners-for-one aren’t so bad when he can entertain himself with his own thoughts.

    Tim has become so good at being alone, he can almost pretend he isn’t desperate for the unconditional love and companionship that a soulmate would guarantee.

    It would be nice, Tim thinks, to have someone in his life who actually wants him. Someone who won’t leave every chance they get. Someone who enjoys his presence instead of merely tolerating it. Someone for whom he isn’t an obligation.

    Still his wrist remains blank.

    Until it doesn't.

    Summary

    Tim always gave them names. He never told anyone that he named them all. He never mentioned how he would spend all night awake in his bed when the large letters of "ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL” appeared on the screen.

    It wasn’t like Tim could just leave and go outside. Tim was only allowed to go to the lab with the white walls and green tubes.

    Tim just wanted a friend to talk to. He was so tired of being alone.

    Summary

    Dick Grayson didn’t mean to avoid Tim Drake.

    Dick was fairly confident the boy would make a decent Robin. But beyond that Dick didn’t have any strong opinions, and he was happy to leave it that way. He refused to form an opinion, to become attached. It was easier that way. Dick didn’t want to take the time to examine the dread he felt seeing Tim in his colors, standing in the same spot another black haired, blue eyed boy used to be. He wasn’t looking for a new brother. That’s what he told himself when eight months had passed and he had only met the boy a handful of times. 

    Dick stopped telling himself that when he learned that Tim had died due to the Joker. 

    Or: In Tim's early Robin days, Dick realizes he needs to step up and mentor the boy who now holds his mantle. Tim is going to be part of the family, no matter what Bruce has to say.

    Summary

    He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.

    He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.

    She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”

    And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

    Summary

    Between one blink and the next, Tim went from lounging lazily in his living room rewatching Star Trek: Voyager for the 8th time while doing case work to sitting upright on a familiar throne in an even more familiar room.

    Calmly, he subtly looks around him to see various ninjas and assassins lining the wall, and while a few seem familiar, most of them are unknown which only brings up red flags since Tim has become quite familiar with most of the assassins sent after him these days. He sees his hands in the corner of his eye.

    Ah.

    Those… are not his hands.

    This is fine.

    Summary

    The last thing Tim remembers was falling. He remembers the sound of his beating heart and the whipping wind, the lights blurring past and remembering the grappling hook in his belt. But most of all he remembers the overwhelming calm that settled in his mind and numbed his insides, the foreign feeling of peace seeping into his bones. He completed his mission. For Bruce.

    He shouldn't have survived a fall from that height, but judging from the unfamiliar location he's woken up to and the bandages currently covering his skin he must've had a little help. Tim is so not looking forward to another lecture.

    Or

    What if Dick wasn't there to catch Tim from falling but Jason was.
