Summary
“Don’t move,” Jason whispers. “If we don’t move he won’t see us.”
“That’s for a T-rex and it’s a lie. They could very well kill you even then.”
“You are shitting on my hopes and dreams, Replacement.”
“I’m not. I’m just saying —”
“Todd,” Damian calls and when he gets no answer from Jason, he whimpers, “Drake.”
“I can't believe I'm saying this but he’s breaking my heart, dude."
“Shut up, don’t give in. It’s a trap.” Jason says. “It’s a trap —”
They lose both the battle and the war when Damian stops waiting for them and instead stumbles forward, almost drunkenly, and unceremoniously flops himself on Jason’s front, full-on crying against his chest.
“Jesus fuck, Baby-bat. Who do I have to kill?”
(Or the one where Jason and Tim come to the Manor on the early hours of the day after a long night of patrol and they find weird new kind of life form out of this world that cries with snot and all inside the Manor. It takes them some time, because they are both dumbasses, to convince themselves that's actually their little brother crying his eyes out.)

even good things (healing wounds sting) by ruggedBeast

Summary
Tim should be excited, right?
He had asked for this, spent weeks hoping it would work out. Tim wanted this. Wanted to move in with the Waynes, wanted desperately to not be so alone anymore.
And yet, for some reason, he didn't feel better. It was as though he'd been set adrift, none of the anchors of his old life left to cling to. No rocks, no routines. And even though everything at Wayne Manor was better, it was so very different.
Or: When you're autistic, even the best changes can still be overwhelming. The Manor comes with more interaction, with more noise, with more life and Tim doesn't know how to handle it. Things come to a head with the first meltdown Tim's had outside of his carefully constructed hiding place.
The biggest change of all is that now there are people to catch Tim when he's falling.

birds whistle, don't they? by thennevermind
Fandoms: Red Hood: Resurrection (Fan Series 2024), Batman - All Media Types
27 Oct 2025

Summary
The whistles were for the Waynes. Tim may have forced himself to be a bird, but it wasn’t his place to force himself into their lives even more. There was a line that Tim still wasn’t allowing himself to cross. He was here first as a crutch for Bruce, now as a tool to help control the crime in Gotham.
OR: Tim doesn't know the whistle code, at first. He ends up wishing that he did know both the code, and how to finger whistle.

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.

Summary
“Let's start with something easier,” blue man says. “Can you tell me your name?”
“Timothy Jatson Drate,” Tim replies. Then he frowns. “I tan’t say it right.”
Cuh sounds and guh sounds are difficult for Tim. Mommy says he'll get the hang of them if he keeps practicing though.
“That's okay, Tim,” blue man smiles again. “How old are you?”
Tim knows this one. He's been working really hard on his numbers. “Four!” He holds up four fingers. “That's this many!”
***
Four-year-old Tim is having a sleepover with the Waynes. He just wishes he knew when his parents were going to call.
(Meanwhile, Tim's family are trying desperately to avoid letting him know that until yesterday he was seventeen – and that his parents won't call him ever again.)

Dick saw Jason: fifteen and broken.
Jason saw Robin: small and fragile.
Tim saw Red Hood: cold and expressionless.Or
Trauma isn't invisible. It leaves a scar on the mind. One that doesn't disappear. One that is fueled by the cool liquid pumping through your veins.
Dick, Jason, and Tim all have the same problem, yet keep it a secret, held close to their chests.

buy your own nicotine, you little parasite. by aimlesscalamity

Summary
He plucks the cigarette straight out of Tim’s hand and sticks it in his own mouth in one smooth, practised motion.
Tim splutters. “Hey—!”
“Illegal and tacky,” he decides. “Impressive.”
Tim stares at him, offended on principle. “You can’t just—”
“Watch me.” Jason flicks ash off the edge of the fire escape and lets it spiral down toward the alley. “Where’d you steal these from?”
“I didn’t.”
“You didn’t,” he repeats.
Tim shrugs, casual in a way that feels almost rehearsed. “I bought them.”
Jason stares.
Just— stares.
“Who the fuck,” he says slowly, “is selling kids tobacco.”
“I’m not a kid—”
“Shut up, yes you are.”
•·················•·················•
Jason catches a teenage Tim smoking once, and then again, and again— and then it devolves a little.

Summary
Tim wasn't supposed to be on patrol so soon after the whole Titans Tower ordeal — not on his own, at least. So it's probably his fault that Red Hood shoved him off a roof the first chance he got.
But then no one comes—
Until the wrong people do.
And maybe Jason just happened to be hanging around in case Batman failed to turn up in time for another Robin.

Summary
“I said are you fucking kidding me? Do you feel like a big man, asking your son for money to feed your drug addiction?” He spits.
”Maybe next time, don’t buy coke you can’t pay for with the money you can't get from a job you don’t have!”
He should’ve expected the fist that came flying at his face, but it always takes him by surprise. Heat and pain blooms under his eye, but he barely feels it, slightly numb. So instead, Tim pounces.

Summary
It’s not until Tim is on the couch, a little high and snacking on four different kinds of chips, with a kitten falling asleep on his stomach, that he realizes: He's never really pictured himself getting old. Until now, when suddenly he realizes he wants to be.

Tim Drake used to love photography. He used to be pretty damn good at it, too.
He doesn't do it so much anymore.
And he isn't sure why that seems to bother Damian so much.
