    Summary

    “They’ll find out,” Tim whispered, voice cracking. “They always do.”

    Bruce’s expression softened. He crouched closer, lowering his voice. “You’re not in trouble. You mixed medication with alcohol. That’s all. You’re not the first person to make that mistake.”

    Tim gave a hollow laugh that dissolved into a cough. “Not—not a mistake.”

    OR:

    Tim mixes his meds with alcohol. The fallout is immediate.

    Summary

    It sucked that Tim couldn't trust his family. They had either been his abusers or bystanders, but even when he tried to take himself off their hands, they clung to him like a sticky residue. Trapped, he felt like a mouse beneath a cat's paw, and he knew the only escape would be a clean-cut break with no room for interpretion.

    Somehow, they made room for interpretation.

    “Bruce,” Tim rasped, his discarded Red Robin suit a thousand pound weight in his hands, clean and ready to go in its case. “You don’t even *like* me.”
    The truth dangled between them like a spider’s web clinging to separate walls.

    To no one’s shock, Batman said nothing. The only sounds in the cave were the shuffling of bats and Tim’s bike rumbling softly at the entrance, waiting patiently for him to make his escape.

    Summary

    There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays that whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.


    Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.

    Summary

    He’s wearing a collared shirt under a chunky, worn-to-all-hell hoodie and straight black jeans that are exactly his size. His hood’s pulled up to cast his face in shadow and he’s wearing chunky sunglasses to conceal his identity.

    That’s the moment where Cassie notices, and as she stares at him settle into Conner’s side, basically in his lap, and chat with Bart about strategies his team needs to use to win, she notices that he never tilts his head in a way that would allow sunlight to be cast on his face.

    “Hey, Rob?” she calls, and he hums acknowledgement around his slurpee, still not turning his face towards her. Conner throws an arm around his shoulders. “Why don’t you show your face?”

    or:

    Robin doesn't reveal his identity. Shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    “Do you think Daddy’s forgotten about me?” he asked Dandelion the cow, sitting on the rickety old farm fence and hiding from Pa.

    Dandelion tore out another chunk of grass and continued munching noisily. If Pa found him, he’d wish Conner a happy birthday, and Conner didn’t want that—he didn’t want to be five yet.

    — 🦸 —

    OR: At four years old, Conner is sent to live on the farm.

    Summary

    An impressive headache and a diabolical combination of odors greets him when he wakes.

    A list of facts:
    1. He last remembers it being a disgusting hour. 3-ish, he’d say. Therefore, dark.
    2. Summer patrol ends at sunrise.
    3. If he gets his bell rung mid-patrol, he wakes up in the Cave, without fail.

    A second list of facts:
    1. He’s alone.
    2. It’s noon.
    3. Robin is in a fucking dumpster.

    Summary

    Kon-el's entry into the Royal Family is an upset. He changes the hierarchy and whispers that he could assassination the Crown Prince Jon roam the castle halls.

    Kon's also 13 and desperately trying to find his place in the viperous world of the royal court. He's hoping that training a taur, a wild and whipsmart colt from the Drake stables, will be just the thing to show everyone he's someone to be taken seriously.

    But taurs are not easy creatures to handle. They are strong and smart and not willing to be led by the weak-willed. His father Kal-El might have the strongest bond in the kingdom with his taur, Bruce, but that's no guarantee Kon will too.

    -----

    Tim has been brought to a strange place.

    He's been taken from the place he lived and told that he was to be the seat of a little prince. They put him in reins and saddles and expected him to bow down. He will not bow down. But also... he doesn't know what to do. His herd is gone. His mother is gone. He's alone. Except for the other taurs, the two brothers, Dick and Jason, and the frightening huge, Bruce. They offer him a family but... is this all a trick for his obedience?

    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

    Competent, awkward, and has really nice hair.
    That was the usual way people described Tim Drake.

    It sounds funny, but Tim actually has great hair. No, no, no- Listen. He has really great hair.

    Of course, his family can't help but joke (even if they agree)

    Summary

    Jason’s jaw flexes. “You think he’s gonna stop?” he asks, voice low and dangerous. “He won’t. Men like that— they keep taking until someone stops them.”

    He leans closer, “I can give you the gun.”

    Tim’s stomach turns. “I can’t, Jason,” he says quietly, forcing each word.

    Jason studies him in silence, unreadable.

    “Then let me,” he says finally.

    ····•····

    “What did you do?”

    The words hang in the air, soft but loaded, a warning and an accusation all at once.

    Jason watches him, his expression blank and unflinching.

    Tim’s voice rises, ragged and raw, shaking with the force of all he’s repressed. “WHAT DID YOU DO?”

     

    •··········•··········•
    OR: Tim keeps getting himself kicked out of schools (that little vigilante thing sort of gets in the way), and Jack Drake starts taking it personally. Their already-strained relationship devolves into abuse. Jason offers a helping hand. Tim's parents don't survive.

    Summary

    A short, mean, and disbelieving laugh bounces around the kitchen. “You’re joking.” Jason’s laughter turns into an outright cackle, and he has to put his coffee mug down on the counter to avoid spilling it.

    “Back off.” Despite wanting to, Tim can’t hide the fact that his voice shakes, but suddenly his grip doesn’t. “Jason, I swear—”

    “You gonna point that thing at me? You don’t even know what to do with it.”

    The older boy is too close. Far too close. Tim flinches back, raises the gun, and without thinking about it presses it under Jason’s jaw.

    All of a sudden, neither of them can breathe.

    Jason’s eyes harden, glancing at the finger hovering over the trigger.

    After a moment, Jason speaks up, almost softly— with how close they are, his voice doesn’t need to carry far. His voice goes flat. “This is hilarious.” The tone says otherwise. 

    •·················•·················•
    OR: Tim has PTSD after the Titans Tower attack, and secretly keeps a gun — just in case. With Jason back in Gotham, “just in case” starts to feel more and more and more inescapable.

    Summary

    Tim Drake is used to taking care of himself. It's an old habit he picked up straight from when he was old enough to comprehend the English language. So, when he wakes up in the middle of the night, next to his dead laptop, stomach violently churning and skin soaked in sweat, he quickly rubs his eyes to keep himself awake long enough to get to the washroom. Tim opts for sitting on the cold tile floor, his knees curled up in a fruitless attempt to stop feeling like he's about to die at the hands of Mr. Freeze.

    OR: When Tim wakes up feeling ill, he decides that living on the bathroom floor with a singular bathmat for warmth is a good idea. Thankfully, his new family is willing to help him out a bit.

    Summary

    The whistles were for the Waynes. Tim may have forced himself to be a bird, but it wasn’t his place to force himself into their lives even more. There was a line that Tim still wasn’t allowing himself to cross. He was here first as a crutch for Bruce, now as a tool to help control the crime in Gotham.

    OR: Tim doesn't know the whistle code, at first. He ends up wishing that he did know both the code, and how to finger whistle.

    He even thinks skipping your kid’s birthday three years in a row might not be normal.

    He's just not old enough to do anything about it.

    Summary

    The thing is, Tim wasn’t himself when he was looking for Bruce. In his grief, Tim was Red Robin, and Red Robin was built for solitude. Red Robin crossed lines that Tim Drake wouldn’t even tiptoe on. He was detached and gray and everything Tim had tried not to be as Robin. But now that Bruce is back, and Damian is Robin, and nobody really knows what he’s done- Red Robin is all he has left. And Red Robin was built for solitude.

     

    There’s something wrong with Tim. The Tim Jason knew was poised, snarky, arrogant. A stubborn-as-shit asshole. And, of course, so loyal and committed to the Bat-legacy that Jason wasn’t really sure if the kid had any hobbies outside the suit. This new Tim, this Red Robin, is someone else entirely. Someone who’s one reckless crusade away from getting himself killed.

    And Jason has a few things to say about dead Robins, Red or not.

    Or: After Bruce returns from the time stream, Tim Drake keeps the mantle of Red Robin and throws himself into international cases to avoid going home. Jason runs into him, gets a bad feeling, and follows him to the ends of the earth (literally).
