    Summary


    or, How Tim Drake Found A Family, Became A Photojournalist, Learned To Love Coffee, and Grew Up, not necessarily in that order.

     

    Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.

    Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there.

    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

    Summary

    Gotham was built on a cave system. Batman has referenced a Bat Cave before. Tim is currently in the cave system. He is in the cave system that he entered from Drake Manor. Drake Manor is right next door to where Batman- The Bruce Wayne- lives. Holy Cavern, Batman! Tim had just accidentally wandered into the Bat Cave’s cave system.

    OR

    Tim, having found a weird hole after a storm, decides to go exploring ignoring the fact that This Is Gotham and They Probably Have Cursed Stuff Down There.

    Luckily, it was just a cave system that spans the entire Gotham underground. Unluckily, Tim is a very curious child.

    Summary

    “What did he do to you?” It’s the only thing Jason can think to ask.

    “Sionis?” Tim looks surprised—but so politely surprised, so neutrally surprised, that he’s almost not surprised at all. “He kidnapped me, then he tortured me, then he taught me to run a criminal empire. And then I killed him.”

    Jason hears the words without really processing them. Tim’s delivery is so flat that it makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up.

    Something’s wrong here, every part of Jason’s brain is telling him.

    -
    Timothy Drake, the kid who's spent the last five years being groomed by Black Mask, shows up in Jason's safehouse asking for help to interrupt Scarecrow's plans. he's allegedly just a kid with good intentions, but he's got more red flags than personality traits and Jason shouldn't want to help him, but. well. he's Jason.

    Summary

    Tim Drake is eleven years old when he’s grabbed off the streets of Bristol while he’s on his way home. It will be okay, he tells himself: they’ll call his parents, and they’ll pay the ransom, and he’ll get to go home.

    There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.

    They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.

    -
    or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.

    General warnings tagged, anything not covered by those is in end-of-chapter notes to avoid spoilers.
