Summary
Tim liked Conner. No, he didn't just find his company pleasant and personality amiable as he liked to claim. 10 months after the start of Young Justice, Tim liked Conner, in all the ways that should've been unimportant but weren't.
Tim liked Conner in the schoolboy-squealing-into-his-pillow kind of way,in the heart-fluttering-and-doing-somersaults-every-time-he-looked-at-him kind of way, in the thinking-about-him-when-he-wasn't-able-to-fall-asleep kind of way, in the- well, you get the idea. Tim liked Conner in the way every Omega liked an Alpha, not in the way best friends liked each other.
But time and time again, Conner had proven to see it as the opposite of that. Truth was, he saw Tim as only a friend. Granted, he saw him as a trusted comrade, a genius, and (reluctantly) a good leader too. But above all, he saw Tim as a friend, not boyfriend material.
It would soon be close to an entire year since he'd presented, but he still couldn't find a way to make Kon see him the way he wanted him to.
So like a good Bat, Tim made a plan.
or
5 times Tim tried to make Kon see him as an Omega and the 1 time he succeeded.

The Bats wouldn’t make it in time, Tim knew as he scrambled through the door leading onto the roof of Wayne Enterprises. He’d known it the second he’d hit the panic button right before his doors burst open, spilling tactical gear-clad goons into his office.

Summary
He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”
Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.

Summary
"This is Kol-El, or Cole. He's a clone"
Okay, maybe Tim was much closer to insanity than he first thought.
"You cloned Kon?"
"I'm my own person by the way" came the dry answer of one Col-El, who did look remarkably like the images Tim had seen of Kon.
Wheels turning rapidly, he looked back at the regretful and overtired figure of Timothy.
Discreetly, in a way he hoped Col-El didn’t see, he gestured to the clone. Mouthing, "You need him?" and Timothy just groaned.
or; TimKon without Kon is just Tim, and that just won't do. Tim is gonna fix that.

Summary
To be fair, Tim figured it out when he was, like, ten years old. Janet Drake had been a social climber through and through, so the way she always avoided their most famous neighbor had confused him as a kid.
That is, until the first time he actually saw the man.

Summary
Tim is being ridiculous. Life is all about risk Tim knows that better than anyone. Sometimes good things are hiding behind those risks. Sometimes you just have to jump and hope that someone is waiting to catch you.
or Tim is working up the courage to tell Kon that he loves him. He just has to make sure that Kon likes him back first.

Summary
“Lex is making me go with him to Gotham,” – was probably not the best way for Kon to start his conversation with Red Robin on that fine afternoon in the Tower. His Robin paused, before he looked up at the floating half-Kryptonian from where he was solving random case-files that most detectives hadn’t been able to crack for decades, probably. Rob was crazy like that - not like Kon was complaining, Rob’s brain was probably one of Kon’s favourite things about him.
(Alongside his hair. And hands. And waist. And–)
Or: Kon goes to Gotham. Tim knows that Kon is Superboy, Kon doesn't know that Red Robin is Tim.
This could only go well for the two of them, right?

One where Kon gets to know Tim and has his whole family complimenting Tim before the identity reveal.

Summary
“Hey Tim” said Conner to the figure that had just appeared at his right and was busying himself with opening his locker.
“Kent” Tim responded without even glancing his way.
That had been his greeting to Conner even since he decided that Conner was not a creep and a weirdo and just really antisocial and awkward (which he is not, he's just really dumb around Tim).
So TimKon lovesquare au, where Tim/Robin has been pining by his bff Superboy for years now, but Superboy/Conner Kent is deeply head over heels by his classmate and kinda-friend Tim Drake, and so chaos unleashes

Summary
If Tim pretended hard enough, it almost felt like this could be real. That they could hang out as more than friends, and lay together; hands clasped, heads resting on shoulders, arms slung lazily around hips. It was so natural, the way they sat. If nothing ever changed, if Tim never moved on from that moment, he didn’t think he could bring himself to care.
It ended soon after, of course. As all good things do.
Or,
Tim and Kon have been growing closer these past few months. Clark picks up on the growing tension between them, and decides to bring it up... at the worst possible time.Bookmarked by Whatwhywhowherewhen

Summary
Tim tried not to let it bother him that he didn’t know who his teammates were, under their masks. He knew that was how it had to be. But they were still his best friends, and he didn’t know them. They didn’t know him.
And, well. Them seeing him as strictly “Robin” made situations like this all the more difficult.
Or,
Tim's teammates don't know his secret identity -- which would be fine, except he keeps having chance encounters with Superboy. Navigating that, along with the fact that he maybe-just-a-little-bit is developing feelings for said best friend is… strenuous.Or or,
Timkon 4+1 except it's the Miraculous love squareBookmarked by Whatwhywhowherewhen

Summary
This stranger wasn’t his Father. It lived in his skin, stalked the same hallways and rooftops as ever. Wore his face. But it wasn’t the man he knew, or thought he did. Not anymore.
Damian fumbled for his phone, and stabbed out five words that would change everything: 'Come and get me. Please.'
OR: Bruce punched Tim in the face. Here’s my hot take on the possible consequences. Post Batman issue #71.

I'm not a villain, I swear! by CoyoteFang1987

Summary
Tim wakes up in a world in which Batman doesn't exist. And by consequence, the Robins never became heroes.
Dick is a Talon, Jason is Red Hood (a villain), and Damian is a League of Assassins assassin. And Tim apparently is a hero called Draken, who, frankly, sucks at being a hero.
And in this weird alternate reality, something big is brewing and Batman isn't here to keep the Justice League from tearing itself apart.
Tim is really really done with everything. Dick, Jason, and Damian aren't helping.
Tim really really hates magic as well.

Summary
Tim starts his night trying to calm down a graduate student with a ray gun. He has no idea that he is part of a time loop.
Future Tim (which will be him in three minutes) won a second round of the Titans Tower fight and managed to put Jason on the path to coming home. Past Tim didn't do much other than think he was dreaming when he met a much calmer Jason. Future Tim decided that three minutes was plenty of time to figure out just get everything right and stabilize a time loop on the first try. No pressure.

Summary
Kon whistles at his first glimpse into Tim’s living room, grinning with teeth when Tim reflexively rolls his eyes. “Sweet digs, dude,” he singsongs. “Love what you’ve done to the place.”
“I said,” Tim hisses, even as he slides the balcony door open to let Kon inside, “what are you doing here—”
Kon shrugs, peeling his jacket off. If I left it up to you, buddy, he doesn’t say, I’d see you once in a blue moon. “Couldn’t sleep. Gotta say, the empty Gatorade bottles really give this place personality.”
“Like you’re one to talk. I’ve seen your room,” Tim snipes back. “And I actually need the electrolytes. What’s your excuse?”
or;
on a whim, kon pays tim's gotham apartment a late night visit. and then he visits again.
and again, and again.

Summary
“In the weeks after Tim had returned with Bruce in tow— and wasn’t that a shock of its own?— the boy hadn’t moved back into the manor. In fact, Tim only seemed to be comfortable in the Bat Cave, armed to the teeth with weapons and Kevlar. He understood that the boy didn’t trust them, and as much as it pained him, Tim had good reason not to. But Dick had always scented him Before. In fact, his second youngest brother had always sunk into Dick’s ministrations gratefully—
— Which was probably why Dick hadn’t been expecting the palm strike to the nose.”
A platonic ABO story involving Tim Drake and Dick Grayson.
