    Summary

    “It wasn’t until you showed up in Paris that they decided to show themselves.”
    Tim scowled. “And that matters why? I hardly see how that relates to me. I didn’t even know your interest in me until after Z shot a grenade at my face.” He ignored the way saying Z’s name sends a zing of grief down his spine.
    “It matters, because in addition to other… factors, it points to the Council of Spiders hunting not the League of Assassins, but rather-”
    “Me.”
    The revelation is alarming.
    Ra’s dipped his head. “Brilliant as ever, Detective.”

    Or

    It's been proven to Tim several times that 'dead' doesn't exactly mean gone. For once it's not Ra's being a weirdo stalker, but someone else from his past... Meanwhile the rest of Tim's family would very much like their over-caffeinated, sleep deprived brother to stop wandering off to the other side of the planet, thanks.

    Summary

    When someone first touches their soulmate, another whose very essence and spirit matches theirs, they receive a mark.

    Parental marks are purple. Romantic marks are red. Friendship marks are pink.

    Sibling marks are blue.

    ~

    Tim doesn't have any siblings. He never wanted any.

    Which is why he never thought he'd find one at the circus.

    Summary

    Tim decides to tell Bruce he’s thinking about dating Conner Kent. Bruce decides to handle it like a rational, emotionally mature parent—which lasts about thirty seconds. Bribes are offered. Feelings are processed. Wayne Enterprises may or may not survive.

    What starts as one painfully awkward conversation turns into something bigger: a slow, messy journey of rebuilding trust, not just between father and son, but across an entire family still healing from time travel, hurt feelings, and too many things left unsaid.

    Summary

    At fourteen, Tim Drake is no stranger to loneliness. But when his parents die in a plane crash, and a will reveals that Bruce Wayne is his biological father, he’s dropped into a world of vigilantes, legacy, and disappointment. Bruce, caught off-guard and not ready for more family, keeps his distance.

    Tim doesn’t push. He’s used to being a shadow.

    But shadows notice things. They listen. They help. And while Bruce avoids his newest son, Alfred brings him in—gently, steadfastly, and without question. Tim finds belonging not in the Cave, but in quiet acts of care. In warm mugs of milk. In folded laundry. In the faint scent of his grandmother’s perfume still lingering in the halls.

    Bruce may not be ready yet. But Tim is already home.

    Summary

    There is occasionally a certain point one reaches during the attempt to attain a goal where one decides that the goal is just not worth it.

    Unfortunately, this also often coincides with being at a point in the attainment of that goal where it’s too damn late and you’re just gonna have to suck it up, buttercup, and get your shit together and do it anyway.

    Tim is pretty sure this shit is absolutely not worth it, but it’s too late now and even if it wasn’t, Mama ain’t raise no fuckin’ quitter.

    Or:

    Tim’s quest to bring Bruce back from his Time-Travel-Super-Vacation goes horribly topsy-turvey when Ra's takes a more pro-active approach to keeping Tim prisoner, and he ends up in an alternate universe where he never existed, and everybody is disorientingly well-adjusted and weirdly obsessed with his “wellness”, whatever that means.

    Tim hates mystical artifacts.

    (Alternate universe Better Batfam trope)
