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.

Summary
The boy had dark gray circles under his eyes that he’d clearly covered up with makeup, but his unusually pale skin made the contrast too steep for foundation. He was also way too thin. It was all coming together to create a more unfortunate image in which Tim was silently struggling, but saving face for the sake of his image. It was admirable, if not incredibly unhealthy.
Dick says he just needs time. Jason says he’s rich, so he can’t be that sad.
Bruce says he’s depressed.OR
Tim thinks he’s being investigated by the Bats because he's a genius who secretly solves their cold cases, but an idiot when it comes to anything social. Bruce actually just wants to make sure Tim’s okay because he's a teenaged CEO with dead parents, and Bruce sees too much of himself in him.

Summary
“Bruce is going to erase your memories.” Jason says.
Tim, still in his Robin costume, turns from the Batcomputer to Jason. “If you're going to lie, lie like you mean it. Otherwise don’t bother.”
Bruce had made him believe a ridiculous story from the future for his 16th birthday. Jason can be more convincing than this. It's an insult to Tim’s intelligence really.
“I’m not lying.”
OR
A morally grey Tim gets caught in a murder and Batman is going to apprehend him but a darker Batman from another dimension happens upon them and takes Tim with him.

Recovery (noun)
1. a return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength.
2. the action or process of regaining possession or control of something stolen or lost.
Or: in a universe where Jason wasn't killed by the Joker, where Tim's parents die on a plane accident when he's 13 years old, his uncle Eddie steps up to take care of him per his parents request.
Once Eddie shows his true colors, Tim will have to fight not just only to survive, but to take back what has been stolen from him. It’s a good thing he won’t have to do it alone.- Language:

Summary
Tim always gave them names. He never told anyone that he named them all. He never mentioned how he would spend all night awake in his bed when the large letters of "ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL” appeared on the screen.
It wasn’t like Tim could just leave and go outside. Tim was only allowed to go to the lab with the white walls and green tubes.
Tim just wanted a friend to talk to. He was so tired of being alone.
[Tim gets sold to Lex Luthor by his parents where he then works at Cadmus to create clones]

Summary
Yoohoo! Yeah, over here! We got another self-insert.
Yeah, he's pretty pissed at the world—and the Batman comics in general. He activated the code "Stupid novel, stupid author!"
Now I wonder where to put him...where's the safest place for a child in Gotham?
Oh! He'd be a perfect match-up for what I've got in mind.
Easy peasy character arc.
He'll be fine!

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

Summary
He was in his room, in the manor, and it was messy, but not the mess it should be. Instead of broken glass from breaking the mirror in a fury, there were clothes strewn about the room. Instead of a bloody Red Robin suit on the bed from the last time he wore it two weeks ago, there were crumbled bed sheets and his laptop at the base. He couldn’t remember the last time he worked in this room on that thing.
So does that mean-?
He took a sharp intake of breath, suddenly doing a self-inventory. Bruce always taught them to check for injury when waking up in a strange and unusual place. Only this wasn’t a strange and unusual place, was it?Or
Tim lost everyone and everything, so in a desperate attempt to fix things he calls on an old friend to send him back in time to save his family. Only problem is there's a price, but he is willing to pay anything to get them back.

“I have time.”
Tim does not, in fact, have time.
But it’s Nightwing who is calling. What’s he going to do—say no? Preposterous. That's a crime in and of itself. Tim would rather swallow nails and kiss his mother goodnight than say no to Dick Grayson. “How can I help you, Nightwing?”

Summary
Sometimes, Tim isn’t sure he’s real.
Tim isn’t sure when he started altering his appearance. Maybe he always knew how to do it. Maybe he learned how watching his mother in front of the vanity in her room, blue silk dressing gown wrapped tightly around brittle bones as she peered critically at her reflection, widening her irises ever so slightly, narrowing the bridge of her nose.
A good transformation, she’d told him once, is not over exaggerated, or particularly striking. It must appear completely natural at all times, or the trick is ruined. The game is up.
Tim’s nose is a little crooked. He doesn’t remember how long it’s been that way.

Summary
Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.
Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)
And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.
Sort of.

Summary
Tim Drake is a solitary creature, whether by necessity or by natural predisposition. But he’s good at being alone. He’s learned to enjoy his own company, to take solace in his own cognizance. Aided by the brisk air of Gotham’s night air and a thrilling sense of independence, Tim learns that some things feel more special when you get to keep them for yourself. Unaccompanied walks down the school halls and singular movie tickets and dinners-for-one aren’t so bad when he can entertain himself with his own thoughts.
Tim has become so good at being alone, he can almost pretend he isn’t desperate for the unconditional love and companionship that a soulmate would guarantee.
It would be nice, Tim thinks, to have someone in his life who actually wants him. Someone who won’t leave every chance they get. Someone who enjoys his presence instead of merely tolerating it. Someone for whom he isn’t an obligation.
Still his wrist remains blank.
Until it doesn't.

Summary
____
Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.
Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.
