Summary
Tim Drake is homeless, penniless, and doing the one thing he knows how to do best to get by. That is—stalking the Bats.
The FBI pays a couple thousand for a small cache of info. Tim leaves out anything incriminating, anything that could lead them to the Bats identities. He's gotten off scott free, until now.

Summary
“Bruce…” Red Robin sounds out a bunch of words in his mind to try to describe the Dark Knight in his time of mourning. “He was Batman.” Tim nods to himself. A sardonic smile forms. “He was only Batman, and he was a wrathful one.”
The teen shrugs. “Now, he's Bruce again.”

Or the batkids find out what Tim's years as Robin were like

Summary
“How do I bond with Drake? I wish to acquire his… allegiance.”
Akhi looked taken aback for a moment before a slow smirk spread across his face. That never meant anything good.
“Treat him like your regular street cat.”
Damian blinked. Then blinked again.
“…Excuse me?” He eventually asked, unsure whether this was a joke or not.
Todd barked out a laugh before elaborating. “You know those ragged, gnarled street cats you oh-so-like to rescue, brat? Treat him the same way.”
OR: Damian tries to bond with Tim

Summary
Pulling his legs to his chest, Tim slammed his fist onto the keyboard angrily, stifling a sob as tears flooded his eyes. Why wasn’t this working? Why was nothing working today? Tim gasped for air as he hugged his legs, trying earnestly not to break down and cry. He wasn’t a kid, for fuck’s sake. He was a Drake at that. Drakes didn’t cry.
“Baby Bird?”
In his emotional turmoil, Tim had somehow not heard Jason ride into the Cave on his bike. Useless. Why couldn’t he do better? He was supposed to be Robin!
For a second, he tried to tell Jason to go away. To leave him alone just like everybody else had in his life. Instead of that, a loud sob escaped his treacherous mouth. Not even his mouth liked him…
OR: Tim needs a hug and Jason gives him one

Summary
Tim’s eyes met Bruce’s.
He smiled a soft sad smile.
“Tim, don’t—”In one universe, Tim Drake is isolated, neglected, and drowning in loneliness.
In another, Tim Drake is dead—a beloved son whose loss shattered the Bat-family, turning them colder and more dangerous.
When these worlds collide, Tim is thrust into a reality where his family’s grief has made them unrecognizable. Overwhelmed and terrified, he runs—but this broken Bat-family won’t let him go. They’ll do whatever it takes to reclaim the boy they lost, even if they have to remake him.
