Summary
"This bond? This bond was what had been the main feature in Tim’s dreams. And he finally had it. But he had nothing that he wanted with it; not the affection of Dick or Jason nor their choice in giving him this opportunity. It was just a taunt."
___Or: Even in a world of Sentinels and Guides, Tim--in a utterly shocking turn of events--doesn't believe he's worth loving. And since you can't survive off of unrequited love, you might as well choose spite as the alternative.

Summary
Jason has a plan for his return to Gotham. Steal the clown's old Red Hood identity? Check. Make sure meddling birds know to keep out of his territory? Check. Recruit some homeless youth to keep an ear to the street in exchange for shelter? Check. Take over the Crime Alley drug trade, convince Black Mask to break the clown out of Arkham, murder his Replacement and force Batman to finally avenge him? ...he's still working on it.
His plans are delayed when the homeless kids he's sheltering are joined by a fearful boy with hand-shaped bruises around his neck. Alvin Draper may not want to say who did it, but Red Hood isn't about to let anyone who beats up children go unpunished.

Summary
A business trip takes the Dursleys across the Atlantic to a grimy city in New Jersey. They couldn't find a sitter, so they had to bring "the freak" with them. And then they conveniently forgot him there, on the meanest streets of Gotham. Fending for himself at the tender age of 7 (and ten months!), Harry will find friends, and eventually, hopefully, a new home and a new family. Cross-posted from FFN.net.

Summary
It barely registers that strings of promises and apologies and cries of please, please, please are leaving his lips too fast to comprehend. He’s too lost in his thoughts to stop the motion now, and trips over his stumbling feet and over the netting– and suddenly he’s falling, plummeting, down, down, down—

Tim almost forgot how he learned how to fly. Almost.

Summary
Peter had always known they weren’t well off.
He wasn’t stupid, even when he was small. He knew that May clipped coupons, that she hesitated before putting name brands in the cart, that sometimes the milk was watered down just a little bit more than it had been the week before. He knew that when other kids at school talked about vacations or “just ordering food,” it wasn’t something he could casually chime in about.
But knowing was different than sitting at the kitchen table, shoulders hunched over a stack of envelopes with big red letters screaming OVERDUE across the front.

After one too many issues bombard him, Tim snaps while searching for Bruce. He dirties his hands and stumbles upon a new way to bring his father back, Chronomancy.
Except, Tim never expected the spell to send him back twelve years?
But he's smart, and he might not have the Bats as backup anymore, but he'll make this timeline better than before.

Summary
“I need your help,” Tim says. “I need - “ again, the liquid sloshes in his cup. He releases it to rub his hands over the fabric of his pants. “I need your help.”
“Do you?” She is usually not the one approached for these sorts of things. Jason gets the calls, and Roy charms his way into information. She is merely a companion, one that most people stay away from. “What sort of help do you require, Tim Wayne?”
There’s a flinch, so minute anyone else would have missed it. He lets out a harsh breath and grabs for his drink once more. He yanks his mask down in one swift motion and brings the straw to his lips. He drinks like someone who hasn’t had water in days, with a single minded determination Kori has seen plenty of men use to go at bottles in dark lit bars.
His face is flushed. The red comes through in blotchy patches made worse by the stark white that splatters the lower left of his jaw. On his cheeks are two reddened slashes. They start at the corners of his lips and cut up towards his ears in diagonal lines.
“Sanctuary,” he says, when his cup is empty and his mask is up once more. “I seek sanctuary.”

In the aftermath of Joker's torture, Tim runs to the only place left he can think of.

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
He tapped the screen again, his face up close in the zoomed camera.
"Whoa, ultra Tim-vision, no thank you. I think I just saw my pimple's pimple. Gross." He zoomed out and grinned at himself. "I don't know if I have ever felt so freaking happy or strong or cool, or well, anything, in my whole entire life."
And it was true. Standing atop a building as Robin. If someone were to look up, they would definitely think he was the real deal and the thought left him beaming. Jumping in place, Tim gave another whoop, punching the air and then bending over into a fit of high pitched laughter. This was all the joy he would ever need for the rest of his existence.
And then someone screamed.
OR,
Tim Drake puts together a very realistic Robin costume for Halloween and gets mistaken for the real deal.
