Summary
The point is. The point is, Tim has money, and he has intelligence, and he has the resources to perhaps do something past doing BatWatch. And, seeing the way Jason’s watch was, Tim thinks that perhaps he can help (more like spy) on the Bat and Robin more.
He just has to figure out how that watch works, what frequency it uses, and then—
Tim is hurting his own head thinking about it.
or
Tim Drake, intelligent as he is, decides that he needs to do something to help (and befriend) Gotham's resident vigilantes. This, of course, leads to his unbeatable method to befriending your heroes. Wherein: he becomes his own vigilante at the age of twelve, befriends the heroes, and sort of saves Gotham along the way.
Hiccups are, of course, bound to happen. Good thing he has the Bats to help him!

Summary
“But, if you’re my biological father, then why-” Tim stopped walking and looked up at him with such a desolate expression that Bruce’s breath caught in his chest.
Bruce swallowed, hard, past the lump in his throat. “Tim, sweetheart, I-”
Tim cut him off with the side of his clenched fist pounding on Bruce’s chest. Not angry, or combative, but the sad and desperate hit of a child in turmoil.
“Why.” Tim started again, throwing another weak hit with his fist, tears beginning to well up in his eyes and breaking Bruce’s heart with every second. “Why, if you’re my biological father, am I. So. Short!”

Aka: The one where every Wayne kid finds out they share a biological parent with at least 1 of their siblings
Aka: I daisy chain a bunch of absurd scenarios together to make Bruce run a billion DNA tests

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 let his mother wrap his wings for the gala. She always did it tighter for special occasions. Making sure it wouldn’t come undone so Tim couldn’t “Disgrace the Drake name” more than he already had.
His wings almost always hurt from being bound all the time, but when they were wrapped this tightly? He knew he was in for a world of pain later.
He didn’t voice this to her though. Maybe he would have when he was younger, less experienced, and more of a burden. But now? He knew better.
He knew way better.
He let his mother dress him and get him ready, he let her put makeup on his bruises and under his eyes, he let her do his hair.
“Timothy, today we have something very important for you to do okay? I’m not going to tell you yet, but you must be on your best behavior, and you must listen to me and your father.”
or; The Tim Drake centric, Bird Hyrbid, Batfam fic, where Jack and Janet Drake are abusive assholes and Bruce Wayne never knew that there was a hatchling living next door, much less one that was biologically his. Jason's just happy not to be the youngest anymore, and Dick? He wants so badly to protect this baby bird from a world that doesn't deserve him.
