Summary
When Tim Drake was 17, he faked his own death.
Three years later, a new guy has entered Gotham, with hacking skills that outmatch Oracle’s, a blade sharp enough to cut through bone, and a penchant for disappearing better than the Batman himself.
And he’s making a mark on the villain population of Gotham.
He leaves no evidence behind, nothing to mark himself by, only the remnants of his kill and a name: Cardinal- Language:

Summary
Tim's parents faked their deaths and fled the country years ago, but neglected to take him with them. He spent some time on the streets, and now at 16, he makes a living as a fortune teller, stalking and hustling the shit out of Gotham's elite by telling them eerily accurate fortunes based on the information he gathers about them.
His life is peculiar but he wouldn't change a thing. When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist. But it seems they just won't leave him alone..

Summary
Dick Grayson has many secrets. He's a vigilante, he's a Bat, secrets are just a part of his life. There's one secret though that he has had since before his parents died. A secret that he has never told anyone, not his friends, not his siblings, and not Bruce.
Or, Dick's world has fallen apart again the weight of his secret growing with the years, the only question that remains is will it crush him or will it help him come home?
(I really have no clue how to write a summary for this without giving everything away, so here we are :)

At the same time he struggles with his place in the fractured batfamily, and tries chasing the Red Hood, who surely is completely unrelated to these green eyes he keeps seeing... right?cue kidnappings, bad decisions, and a whole lot of food!
a bit angsty, but with a happy ending because i REFUSE to write sad ones. title is from "people got a lotta nerve" by neko case :)

Summary
In the distance, way over by the docks, Jason saw a pillar of smoke. He wrinkled his nose at it. Explosion. The Bats must be having a busy night. So why was Tim calling him?
“Jason!” Tim wheezed out again, sounding absolutely delirious. “Don’t let them bury me with my parents.”-
or: tim's dying. he has one last request, and it doesn't matter who he calls. he's just gotta tell someone.
jason is the one that picks up.
(inspired by the song "o bury me not on the lone prairie" by sons of the pioneers)

Summary
One night, Robin spots a kid with an overnight bag on a rooftop, and he jumps to the obvious conclusion: the kid's trying to run away. The kid is doing a really bad job of it, though, and that's the sort of thing Robin just has to correct.
Except the kid is Tim Drake, and Tim isn't actually trying to run away. But "running away" does sound a little better than "stalking bat-themed vigilantes through the crime-infested streets of Gotham every night." So he lets Robin have this one.
Besides, that's the end of it, right? Robin might have found Tim once, but no one ever looks for Tim a second time. Robin can think whatever he wants. They'll never see each other again.
(They see each other again.)

Summary
"I'm not going to ask you why you're out here, kid," Jason nods. "That's your business and you don't know me or Dick to trust us."
Not true. Tim trusts Jason Todd and Dick Grayson with his life. Just not with, the other stuff.
"But," Jason continues, "if you want to tell me what got you here, or you just want to talk about anything, you can, with me. Dick too. He's an annoying ray of sunshine that won't ever shut up most of the time, but he is actually a good listener. I'd know."
OR
When Tim's parents find out Tim's secret, they kick him out. Now, on Thanksgiving, Tim is living on the streets and is thankful for the two strangers currently saving him from getting his face pounded into the pavement. Wait...those aren't strangers...

Summary
Bruce Wayne reacted badly to Jason’s death, they could all see, and it was perfectly understandable. But this couldn’t go on, a message that Dick and Alfred just barely manage to get across to him. So now, at least for a few months, Batman is retired until Bruce can properly mourn his lost son.
Tim Drake, now lacking his usual subject of interest on his nightly stalkings, turns his attention to the mysterious Red Hood who recently popped up in Crime Alley. However, he wasn’t expecting what he found instead: A brother.

Summary
His automatic analysis began again: Very small baby--definitely no older than one, absolutely naked which was a literal crime in this drug-needle ridden area of Gotham, pale skin that contrasted with a familiar bowlcut ebony hair that he had only seen in pictures. Pictures that he had only found because they all needed something to make fun of the boy and had chosen to dig through his very own house next door.
Wide ice-blue eyes that blinked up at him intelligently..
Jason’s very own wide green ones blinked down at him stupidly.
And then Timothy Jackson Drake, also known as Red Robin, opened his tiny mouth, and continued to babble nonsense before settling on one word, clapping as he repeated it over and over, shattering Jason’s known reality each time he said it.
“Wobin!” clap. “Wobin Wobin Wobin!’- Language:

Summary
He clicks on Gotham Wikipedia with bated breath. And it doesn’t take long for Peter to figure out just how bad the situation is. Gotham isn’t just a city, it’s apparently a hellhole. What kind of villain playground is this world running? How could anyone let it get this bad? Where is the government? Where are the heroes?
Peter’s heart swells at the thought. He needs heroes! They’ll be able to help him! The first thing that pops up is a website- JusticeLeague.Org.

Peter, like any 14 year old superhero, really wants to catch a break. He's just a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, nothing special. Well, only if you don't look at his biology ever since the radioactive spider bite. And his extensive track record of running away and deaths in his life. And that his foster-dad is Tony Stark. And that his mentors are the Avengers. And the fact that he was randomly kidnapped one morning on his way to school and now he's in an alternate universe with a bunch of different superheroes that keep stalking him.He thinks they mean well, but they're really weird. Besides that Red Hood guy. He's pretty cool.
