But Fate Had Other Plans by Esgalnen

Summary
This story was inspired by 'I'm Going To Live A Normal Life' - and while that story is excellent - I couldn't leave Tim in this position so I thought I would do some jiggery pokery and save him.
While Deathstroke has taken on a contract to get rid of Timothy Drake-Wayne, there's a little tickle between his shoulder blades that makes him reconsider and call an old ally for help, Tim is still unwell when he does so but he does recover. Still haven't decided what I'll have him do next.
I shall try to post a new chapter up every Monday, but I'm hoping that it won't be too long.

Summary
Badly injured when rescued from a Santo Domingo Gaol, Napoleon and Illya are sent to the one place they consider the worst in the world, 'up the hill' to Silver Hill the final stop for UNCLE Agents who are so badly damaged that they will never return to active duty. Under normal circumstances, Waverley would not even consider sending any agent to Silver Hill because it has always been the 'last stop' for agents before they gracefully retire, however on this occasion he sends both agents to this hospital because he feels the calm and quiet will assist their recovery along with a very special lady who might be the only person who can treat both men. However, even in this idyllic setting, neither man is safe. This is only Part I, I am working on Part II which follows on directly from Part I.
I hope to post each new chapter here every Monday as Part 1 is finished.

Restored by Esgalnen for L_autore_Passionale

Summary
This story is a sequel to L_autore_Passionale's 'Found' and it is a pleasure to gift this story to her, I'm not sure how many chapters it's going to be, but I have almost finished so hope to have it posted up before the end of the month. The story details what happens after the Justice League get involved to rescue the boys and what happens next. All the boys are badly hurt both physically and mentally from the experience of the kidnapping and it is implied (although not outright stated) that the Justice League actually committed murder when they discovered where the boys were being held and what had been done to them. This story just deals with their recovery and Bruce's choice to leave Gotham.
This deals with the aftermath of the nightmare in 'Found' and

Summary
After Dick is 'rescued' by the Batman and taken to one of his cells Alfred calls in Bruce's wife (I will get to their relationship in my other story, Child of Prophecy) and Caitlin comes to assist him. I am gifting this story to Jinmukang with thanks for the inspiration.
This was supposed to be a very short sequel because I’m just a sucker for the happy ending, and I could not leave Dick Grayson like this, bereft of everything. However, my Muse took over and the resulting story of about 5/6 Chapters was the result. For those of you who are interested in Caitlin, I am presently writing a (very) long story about her and how she and Batman/Bruce get together and how she discovers who she is.
The drugs mentioned don't exist, they are made up and come from the site below:
https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/medicine-names.php
I will try to update every 2/3 days - as it's pretty much finished.

Summary
When Tim first proposes his plan, Jason calls him batshit insane.
"Why?" Tim asks stubbornly. “It’ll be a win-win situation – I get a new life without some guardian tying me down, and you get a new life where you can eat food every day and live in a big house. You’ll probably have to go to school, but that’s the only downside I can think of. That, and pretending to be me, of course."
*
In the wake of Jack and Janet Drake's untimely death, Bruce sets out to search for their missing son, determined to adopt him. After a long, arduous search, he finally brings home a new addition to his family.
He fails to realise that the new kid living in Wayne Manor is not Tim Drake.

Summary
“I never made a tape for Tim,” Bruce admits, his words laced with hesitance. He can sense the collective gaze of his children fixed upon him, their curiosity palpable.
"And what else could this be if not your recording?" Dick waves the small device in his hand.
"There's only one way to figure it out," Jason hints.
"I'm not sure, Jason. This might be something personal," Dick looks worried but also intrigued.
"Maybe it's a recording the kids' parents made," Jason shrugs.
"Could be," Dick concedes as he plugs the small device into the screens and settles back to watch.
Or
The bats find something that might just give them the perspective they need on Tim.
