Summary
The conversation Tim remembered the most from his first few months as Robin strangely wasn’t the brief before his first patrol, or even the conversation where he’d convinced Batman to take him on. It was the one they’d had after the first time he’d been almost-kidnapped...
“What’s most important of all is that you don’t stop fighting. I will get to you but if that ever happens, Tim, if you’re ever taken, you will need to be the bravest you’ve ever been. You’ll need to remember that I’m on my way to get you, and you’ll need to try to rescue yourself anyway.”
Tim had really tried. He had. But he was so. Fucking. Tired.
Or: When a caged bird can't even sing, what's left for them?
Tim's been taken, and after everything it starts to feel like maybe the hardest part will be going back home.

Summary
“Goddamnnit Robin,” Hood is there, pulling him into his arms. Robin sees that helmet, he sees the green eyes, the dark hair, he sees open, gray, Gotham sky, and hears tires squealing, and then he sees stone. He sees the cave.
Bruce is there. Alfred is there. Dick is there.
And Hood is there.
Robin rolls in and out of consciousness. He reaches out, snatches the smell of copper and the touch of leather, and he holds Hood’s hand and he does not let go.
He’s allowed to say it now.
“Jason,” he says. “Don’t leave.”
Or, following Dick telling Tim about his older brother, to Tim actually knowing him

Summary
Of course, perhaps it was his wishful thinking or just plain stupidity, his parents hadn’t noticed he was gone. They never noticed him. Tim was a ghostly child and it wasn’t because he was so pale; it was because no one ever saw him.
or
Tim gives more than he gets, even if it’s by accident. The one time he does get, he’s given a family. That’s an accident too.
or
Jason is alive, Dick is just trying to be an older brother, Bruce can't figure out how Tim has survived this far, and Tim is so so sad.

Summary
Timothy Drake was a stillborn baby. He was born dead, stayed that way for a solid five minutes, and was then resuscitated in the delivery room. He was a child who grew up alone, but for his imaginary friends. He had so many imaginary friends, in fact, that his parents sent him to get evaluated several times over the course of his childhood, which was spent with Tim as the only heartbeat in that house.
But that didn’t mean he was alone.

Tim sees dead people. When a Batboys murder investigation is going nowhere, he realizes his only chance at solving the case is to speak to the ghost of one of the victims. He has to reveal his secret to his brothers -- or risk the killer getting away.

Grin and Bear It (I got blood on your carpet) by Alia_JuneBug

Summary
When Jack Drake’s business trip gets canceled, he is forced to stay at home while the legal kinks get worked out. He’s not used to having a teenager underfoot, so it’s only rational that he’s a little snappish around Tim. At least, that’s what Tim tells himself each time his dad’s idea of discipline gets harsher.
Bruce had told him to take a break from Robin in order to spend some time at home with his dad, and Tim can’t say no to that. He knows Bruce is probably glad to be rid of him for a short while.
And he can handle discipline. This is a Tim Drake problem, not a Robin problem anyway. There’s no need for Bruce to know anything.
Things get a little muddled when an injured Jason Todd crawls through his bedroom window.

Summary
Jason’s mind was reeling. “Someone can see us?”
He’d tried everything he could think of to get Bruce and Alfred’s attention since he became a ghost. But even physically floating through their bodies hadn’t elicited a response.
She laughed. “Crazy, ain’t it? I don’t know if he’s a meta or what, but all the ghosts are talking about him.”
If there was someone out there who could see ghosts… then maybe…
Jason had to find him. “Who is he?”
“He’s known by many names… Veil Walker… Reaper… Half-Pint.”
Jason sputtered. “Half-Pint??”
“That’s the wildest shit. It’s a kid. Like a middle schooler.” Delilah threw out one of her hands. “And he’s out here wandering Gotham every night and chatting up the dead.”
Jason could only stare at her. Processing. A kid who could see ghosts... What was this? The Sixth Sense: Gotham edition??
———
Jason was murdered by the Joker. Tim can see the dead. They find each other.

Summary
Once upon a time, Tim Drake was Robin.
And he was 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥.
But he wasn't chosen.
And that's fine, okay? It was a delicate situation, he understood that then and he understands it now. He doesn't hold it against Bruce, or Dick, or anyone after him who benefited from the Batman that he fixed. It's just, he hadn't realized how many things he lost out on while fixing Batman.
The ice cream just seems to be the final straw.

Tim Drake knew these things.
- That he was smart
- That he was Robin
- And that he didn't need protection...Why is everyone looking at him weird?
Why couldn't he see his face?Just what happened after his camera lense broke?
-
It was his room, in the Manor. He didn't quite know when his room turned from a guest room to something lived in, but something in him was telling him to not question it. To not question anything.His fingers clutched a scrap of bloody cape, the faint smell of metal reached his nose and he dropped it like it was burning.
The torn off peice of cape comforted him, for some reason. As if he once used it like a lifeline.
It puzzled him. He needed-Memories flooded through him, filling in the blanks.
Someone had gotten in a lucky enough hit to the head to induce a coma. That's it.
He was in recovery.
Benched.
The bit of cape was from when Bruce had found him, that was his own blood on the fabric, right?
Nothing more, nothing less.

Summary
Tim is good at galas.
No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.
