Summary
Dick’s blood froze as he stared at the advancing man in numb horror. The panic from before curdled into something colder—dread. Terror. His throat clamped shut like a vice, air catching halfway up his windpipe. His muscles locked so tight it felt like invisible hands were squeezing the life out of him—the truth settling over him like a cold, suffocating weight.
This man wasn’t Zucco. The Captain wasn’t here, and Dick had woken up in an unfamiliar bed.
Bile rose in his throat.
There was only one explanation.
He had been sold.
And the man in front of him... was his new owner:
The Batman.
(OR Bruce's an emotionally constipated pirate who finds a small, terrified mer and thinks yeah. i should adopt him.)

Summary
Bruce hadn't wanted another son, not after Jason, not after experiencing that hurt.
He hadn't wanted another Robin either, but Tim Drake had something to say about that, which is fine, it can be purely a work relationship...But this time the Drakes have something to say about that.
Or:
Bruce is grieving Jason, having another son wasn't even a thought but one unfortunate night Bruce learns that Tim is being neglected.
Bruce takes the boy in, the purely work relationship turned into father/son. Not only does Bruce start to heal, he feels guilty about it.Or more simply: Bruce is grieving and is guilty about moving on, Tim learns that his parents never had his best interest at heart, Dick is trying his best, and Alfred is doing his best...oh and four and a half years later they learn that Jason is still alive.
What can possibly go wrong? (Everything)Oh and did you know Bruce that you have a biological son?

Summary
Tim Drake never became Robin. Instead, he became a ghost with a trust fund, a bad habit, and no one who cared enough to stop him.
When Jason Todd finds him half-dead in an alleyway, the overdose is only half of the problem.
Saving someone's life is easy. Keeping them alive after, not so much.
OR:
A story about recovery and finding the people who care.

Summary
“Affirmative. Drake, you have been exhibiting inconspicuous yet suspicious behavior.”
“Exactly! Couldn’t have said it better! Now, Tim-Tam, care to tell us what you were searching for? I swear, it was just sooo annoying, my phone screaming at me at midnight. Y’know how controlling GothNet could be of security! Has to blare it out to everyone in the vicinity.” A lie.
“I don’t see how that’s any of your business. Both of you.”
A.K.A
After falling in the Lazarus Pit alive and unharmed, Tim Drake comes back to life. In another universe. Will Tim be able to step out of this nightmare version of Gotham with crime organizations instead of vigilantes, or will he fall right into his family's clutches again?
