Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
The valet opens the door as he places a ticket under the windshield, a hot breeze lazily snaking its way into the backseat. Then, he climbs out and shuts the door behind him, and the air falls as still as a crumpled quilt.
He doesn’t so much as glance at the backseat window as he walks away, leaving Tim alone to wait.
And that’s… that’s probably fine! His parents did say that going to a gala with them was something for big kids to do, and he already knows big kids are supposed to be able to be able to be apart from their parents without throwing a fit, so maybe this is why. Maybe waiting like this is part of every grown-up event, and that’s why he needed to be a big boy before he could come with them.
So yes. He can be a big boy. He can wait, alone.
It’s even kind of exciting! He’s not sure he’s ever been completely alone, without even a nanny nearby.
He just… well, he wishes they could have left the AC on while he waits.

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
In a moment of clarity, Tim remembers his emergency button. He remembers patrol, and he remembers a gang and a shootout.
He uses his free hand to fumble around until he manages to find the chest piece and press the emergency button. His vision is fuzzing at the edges and the last thing he sees is a dark figure leaning over him, a gun pointed at his face.
Well fuck, is his last thought before everything fades to black.

Summary
“Jason has just calmed down from the spike of anger when Tim comes back into the main room after changing out of his school uniform. Jason looks up and freezes.
There’s a purpling bruise on Tim’s neck. The shape of the bruise is undeniably that of a hand, a large one. The bruise looks a few days old, but it is more than dark enough for Jason to know Tim must have been covering it with makeup. But now the makeup is wiped away to reveal angry purple and blue with a halo of red around the edges. On his neck, his delicate, fragile neck, someone put their hands on his baby brother’s neck—"
#
Almost a year after Hood attacked Robin at Titans Tower and four months since he agreed to stop killing, Jason struggles to cope with the horrific violence he inflicted on Tim now that he has the Pit under control. Well. Mostly under control.
Featuring Robin!Tim as a touch-starved bean with no self-worth and Nightwing!Dick as the only Bat with an emotional braincell.

Summary
Tim Drake learns to live.
Through unloving parents, through Robin, and through retirement, Tim learns what this complicated thing called life is all about. He didn’t ask to be born but he’ll survive his parents. Jason was never supposed to die and leave Gotham with a violent Batman, but Tim will solve that as well.
He’ll soldier through it like he soldiers through everything else: with a metric fuck tonne of caffeine served with a side of depression and rage against the world.
He just wishes he didn’t have to attend so many funerals.

Summary
“You were made for greater things,” Mother says gently.
“The greatest thing I was made for was to make my own choices,” he hisses, refusing to let Mother control him. “This is what I choose day in and day out. I neither seek nor need your approval. I moved on from you long ago.”
Or, you can take the boy out of the assassin’s household, but you can’t separate the fucked up kid from the assassin. Especially one raised as an object, a thing to be owned, a vessel for his Grandfather’s mad plans.
Damian, going from an object to be owned to a person who is loved.

Summary
Somewhere in the multiverse, there's a universe where letting his children dress up in capes and follow him into vigilantism seems like a good idea.

Summary
When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Summary
His comm crackles to life. “RR’s suit is in a pile on the floor,” Jason says, voice grim. “But no sign of him. Something bad must’ve happened if he ditched it all.”
“I wouldn’t say it’s bad, per se,” Dick replies, gazing down at the kid nestled against his chest. Now that he’s looking properly, he can see hints of his little brother in those small features. “But at least I can confidently say that he’s not dead.”
Or:
Tim gets de-aged to four. Dick takes care of him.

Summary
Tim probably should have worn a thicker coat, or gloves...Or a scarf at least. He probably shouldn't have even come out tonight. He knew both of these were most likely obvious, but, in his defense, he's ten. And hey, if Robin could run around in a couple inches of snow in less layers than him, he was fine. Someone had to keep an eye on Batman and Robin, and in Tim's case, a camera as well.
Or, Tim is keeping an eye on Batman and Robin, and Robin is keeping an eye on a a boy that follows him across icy rooftops and beyond.

Summary
"Wordlessly, and slowly, Bruce takes one breath after another, composing himself. He hands Jason the slightly crumpled sheet of paper. Jason reads it quickly. Quicker than Bruce, but he reads it again and again and again. Finally snapping with panicked urgency, 'What the fuck is this?'
Bruce, completely devoid of any inflection, forces himself to simply state the facts in front of him. 'That is Red Robin’s two week notice.'"
Or
Tim really thought leaving would be a lot easier. Both figuratively and literally.

Summary
Dick comes around to stand fully in front of him, keeping a steadying hand on Tim’s arm. “Just because you know you’re safe intellectually doesn’t mean you always feel safe,” he says softly. “It’s okay if you don’t feel safe.”
“But it’s not okay!” Tim bursts out. “Because if I don’t feel safe, then how is Jason supposed to feel safe? He shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable just because my brain is screwed up!”
There’s a faint sound by the door, barely more than an intake of breath, and his eyes snap to the no-longer empty doorway.

He was gasping and sobbing and he couldn't stop it.
"D-dad?" Where was...he had to tell his dad he was sorry. He should have been able to save her, he should have been better—
"Tim, can you hear me?" Dick was cupping his face with both hands, rubbing soothing thumbs across his cheeks. "Tim, you have to tell me what's wrong, tell me how we can help."Series

Summary
He was in his apartment, he remembered making it there through a thick mental fog after a mission with the Titans. He remembered that he was exhausted after their last battle and someone, Cassie maybe, he thought, guided him through the Zeta and took him home. She'd tucked him into bed and left a bottle of water on his bedside table, leaving with an order to get some sleep and to call if he needed anything.
He didn’t know how many days ago that was. He hadn’t moved. The bottle was still next to his bed; he'd only taken a few sips from it.
In between bouts of restless sleep, he laid there and thought. His thoughts spiraled further and further down the longer he did.
The one singular thought that started it was: Can’t even make yourself get out of bed. You’re useless like this.
And if he couldn’t be useful, there was no point to him.

Something is very wrong with Tim.Series
