Summary
Honestly speaking, Tim would prefer to be touch-starved. If the clawing cold hiding just underneath his skin could be cured by simply giving up and letting Dick hug him, he’d have been cured already many times over.
-
Tim Drake wishes he were touch-starved. It would be easier than looking at the truth of the matter; that he was a bit touch-starved, but more than that, he was touch-averse in a house full of touchy people. Tim had been dealing with his aversion since he was a kid, but when Damian takes note, he's not particularly keen on letting Tim continue on as he has been.

Summary
There were dates in the margins. And Damian noticed something peculiar.
The drawings stopped around the time he joined the family.
“You draw,” he said one evening, when they were both working late at the cave again.
Tim glanced up, blinking. “What?”
“You used to draw. All the time.”
There was a beat. A flicker of recognition in Tim’s eyes—then a shrug.
“Not really anymore.”
-Or when Tim learns that he is also matter.

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
After dying in the line of duty, Tim Drake wakes up in the past—thirteen years old, alive, and back in his childhood bedroom. Armed with the knowledge of everything to come, Tim chooses not to reveal himself to Bruce or the Batfamily. Instead, he disappears into the shadows of Gotham, becoming the nameless vigilante known only as Red. He works behind the scenes, subtly reshaping key events to give everyone a better future: saving Jason from death, bringing Cass home earlier, and protecting the Batfamily from the worst of what’s to come.
But time has a way of preserving tragedy.
When Duke Thomas loses his parents in a violent home invasion—different from the original timeline but just as devastating—Tim makes a drastic decision. At eighteen, he adopts Duke, becoming the guardian he wishes someone had been for him. Now legally responsible for a grieving teenager who barely speaks to him, and under public scrutiny for the shocking adoption, Tim must navigate media storms, Bats' suspicions, and the burden of rewriting the future—all without revealing who he really is.
He’s walked through Gotham’s shadows as a ghost long enough. But how long can a ghost keep his secrets before someone starts chasing them down?

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

Olympus Called, They want their son back by LadySumi

Summary
Let’s set the record straight Tim never asked to be a half-blood. He didn’t wake up one morning thinking, You know what would spice up my life? The Gods’ drama and near-death experiences.
But Olympus ever the meddler had other plans.
So, naturally, Tim found himself dodging monsters, running errands for egotistical immortals, and risking life and limb for gods who couldn’t even be bothered to remember his name.
Typical half-blood stuff.
By day, he was braving harpies and hydras; by night, he slipped into the cape and cowl, playing Gotham’s favorite overworked vigilante. It was a delicate balance Greek prophecy by breakfast, rooftop brooding by midnight but as long as those two chaotic worlds stayed in their separate lanes
Spoiler alert: They didn’t.
It all went off the rails when his ever so charming Uncle Hades dropped a bombshell of a quest
Abolish Ra’s al Ghul’s Lazarus Pits.
You know, just your average, immortal warlord problem.
No biggie.
With his half-brother Percy and cousin Nico, Tim plunged into Gotham’s dark underbelly, uncovering secrets so terrifying even the gods were spooked.
And when Olympians get nervous?
You run.

Summary
Beneath Gotham there is something. Anyone who spends time with their feet on the ground can tell you that much. At the surface level it's goons and scared street kids. Beneath them are the sewers, haunted by endless appetites and the scraping of hide against stone. Beneath that is glowing green, craving warmth of blood and rage, hunting for its host. And even further beneath that is something other.
Above Gotham there is something. Anyone who spends time in the city can tell you that much. In the shadows of tall buildings or on outcrops of stone there was movement. Flashes of color or shadows taken form. Ever watchful eyes following the movement of the cities beating heart.
Some feared what was above, some feared what was below. But for one... well one craved both.

A Family History Rewritten by MysticMalady, TheBestTinyDragon
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
15 Oct 2023

Summary
Given all the things that had happened to him, one would expect Timothy Drake to have become inured to the unexpected. And for the most part, this was the case. However, some things were just so goddamn weird that he had no idea how to deal with them.
Getting blown up in a warehouse and somehow thrown into a different dimension and around twelve years into the past would be one of those things. Everything he had, gone in seconds. But that didn’t mean things were hopeless. In fact, there was a great deal of hope around him, and a great many things to fix.
After all, never let it be said that Tim was one to waste an opportunity.
