Summary
And something exhausted and brittle in Tim just snaps. “Full disclosure: I don’t care what you think.” A thrill of fear shoots down his spine as he spits those words, but he pushes it down and steps forward, glaring. His heartbeat thunders in his ears. “Look, I’m here to make a deal and I am willing to pay. I want - ”
Between one blink and the next, a searingly hot palm presses against his chest. The demon is suddenly much, much closer. Her stare bores into him as she says, in perfect tandem with his own voice, “ - Jason Todd back from the dead."
-
Or, alternatively: Tim makes a deal.

Summary
Tim’s pretty sure that Jason hates him.
Granted, Jason hadn’t seemed to hate him yesterday and Tim has no idea what he did to cause Jason to come to this conclusion today— (and it’s not like Tim hasn’t been racking his brain for the answer to that very question ever since he woke up)— but the signs have been there all morning and the signs never lie. The sullen mood, the closed-off body language, the vague grunts and one-word responses to Tim’s few attempts at conversation… they all point to a singular conclusion.
Jason has finally gotten sick of him.
---
Or, Jason starts acting weird while both Bruce and Alfred are out of town, and it dredges up some stuff for Tim.
Luckily, he’s still got one big brother left he can call.

Rooted Gears by TheOakTreeGhost

Tags
Summary
People’s movements, Tim discovered very early in life, were usually as predictable as clocks. It was easy, through detached observation, to learn exactly what made a person tick, what winded them up, and how one could tinker with the cogs and springs to achieve any desired outcome. And if people and the world were like clocks with gears, then Tim was an expert clockmaker; there was not a mechanism he couldn’t understand, not a gear he couldn’t manipulated with his tools to achieve his desired outcome. As long as he remained in control, nothing was beyond repair for him.
Dick wasn’t alright. That much was clear. And Tim was determined do everything in his power to help him.
OR
In which I use Tim to gush about how amazing Dick Grayson is for 16,000 words.

Summary

Summary
"I don't want to talk about it." Tim said.
"It?" Steph snapped, "The fact that he sleeps in your bed and cooks you breakfast and there's a second fucking toothbrush in your bathroom? That he only listens to you? That you're wearing his fucking shirt right now? That it?"
"Yeah." Tim agreed. "That's the one."

Summary
Tim had given up trying to lie to himself about how he felt about Jason, hating himself for his childhood hero-worship/crush on the second Robin for coming back. He knew the whole thing was pointless – Jason barely tolerated him, he knew that – so it was better to just acknowledge the feelings, process them, and get rid of them. The last time he’d had feelings for Jason, suppressing them hadn’t worked despite years of trying.
So here he was, asking Jason about what consoles he had because unfortunately this was as close as Jason was going to come to asking him on a date (oh my god, a Bat Kids hangout was the closest he was getting to a date – Damian was right, Tim was pathetic), and there was no way in hell Tim was going to say no, even if he hadn’t slept in over 24 hours. Besides, he knew he could easily make it to 48 if he had coffee.Series

Summary
Jason might have a stalker.
Okay, technically, Robin might have a stalker. That, or Jason is having a stress-induced psychotic break or being routinely dosed with fear toxin every few patrols. Not that he’s scared, because, well, he’s not. It’s just. He’s supposed to be watching the streets, not vice versa.
It takes him a full week to find (circumstantial, at best) evidence.
___
Or… Jason is trying to adopt his eleven-year-old stalker and Tim just wants Robin to accept his apology granola bar.

Summary

Tim’s 7 step plan to get Bruce to adopt Jason, he wrote with a flourish.
***

Summary
The thing is, Tim is old enough now to know that most parents don't leave their ten-year-old children alone for weeks at a time. He's aware that almost all of his classmates actually see their parents more during the summer break.
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
“Batman was getting dangerously close to crossing a line that Tim had been so sure he would never cross.
“It became obvious to Tim that Batman needed a Robin. He was this close to tracking down Dick just to get him to take back the role. It would have exposed that Tim knew the truth, but it would have been worth it. And if Dick wouldn't do it, if it really came down to it? He’d throw on tights if he had to, drag Batman back to the light himself.
“Batman needed a Robin. And maybe that's why Tim was so relieved when Spoiler, a young vigilante clad in purple, showed up out of the blue and refused to leave Batman alone.”
Or,
Seventeen year old Tim Drake, CEO and stalker extraordinaire, has known the truth about the Bats ever since he was a kid. But he never put on the Robin suit.
Following a gala and breakout at Arkham, Tim reluctantly finds himself drawn into the Batfamily’s orbit. And although no secret stays buried forever, nobody could have predicted the disaster to come.
Or,
A Tim joins the batfamily late au!

Summary
Tim was never meant to be Robin. He knew that- he was just a stand-in, someone to be used until Batman was better or another Robin came along- he wasn't family. So, he hid his identity from everyone. No one knew who the third Robin was, not even Batman. Why is it, then, that the Waynes so interested in Timothy Drake? And why now, of all times?
OR: The Batfamily have been trying to lure Agent C back into the family ever since he ran away. It's a slow-going process. In the meantime, Damian has latched onto Timothy Drake, and is teaming up with Dick to try and adopt him. Whether he wants to be adopted or not.

Summary
Tim is prepared to take the steps necessary to ensure that Bruce will not feel obligated to adopt Tim when a comatose Jack Drake inevitably dies. But what could be better than preventing Bruce from ending up with a son he doesn't want? Bringing back the one he does.
Jason agrees to the Replacement's stupid, stupid plan to invite some strange adult man he's never met to come live with him, if only to keep the idiot alive long enough for him to serve his purpose in the Great Red Hood Revenge Scheme.
Might this new roommate situation have an impact on either of their worldviews? Surely not...

Summary
Percy sighs. “You think some fucked up crime city in New Jersey is the perfect place for me to lay low and stay out of trouble?”
“Divine trouble? Greek trouble?” Chiron nods, stroking his chin gravely. Percy’s pretty sure he’s only doing it for dramatic affect. “Oh yes, Percy. Mortal trouble? You are unfortunately on your own for that, I’m afraid. As long as you avoid the Batman, you should be fine.”
Percy stares at him.
“The Batman is real?” He asks finally, afraid of the answer. Chiron just turns back to the fire again, though Percy definitely saw a twinkle in his eye. Stupid old horse.
(Or, Percy Jackson needs to get away from it all. Unfortunately, it doesn't want to get away from him. Was anyone going to tell him the Batman is real?)

Summary
Hermes snorts. “I’ve gone and fallen, brother.”
“Well, in that case, you’ve come to the right man!” Apollo says, audibly cheering up. “That’s not nearly as bad as I was expecting. This is a drop of water in the barrel. Who are they? Anyone I know? I just heard about the recent theft from the Louvre; you’ve always had good taste.”
Hermes covers his eyes with his hands. “Not that simple,” he says. “I assure you, this is a problem .”
“It really can’t be that bad, I mean—”
“It’s Percy Jackson,” Hermes groans. “I’ve gone and fallen for Percy Jackson.”
