Summary
Tim Drake is seven years old when he sees a ghost for the first time. He’s nine when he figures out Batman and Robin’s identities. He’s eleven when he follows Gotham’s dynamic duo across the rooftops with his camera. He’s twelve when he saves Jason Todd from dying. He’s thirteen when he falls apart. He’s thirteen when he finds a family.
Or: Tim Drake, professional fanboy, amateur medium, and private investigator. Soon-to-be little brother.

Summary
“Well, if you’re alive, you’ll have no problem setting the table,” Janet says, and glances impatiently at the wood he’d cracked his head on when he’d fallen down the stairs. “Blood in the wood, Timothy. It’s as if you don’t understand the value at all.”
“I’ll pick a better place to die next time,” Tim says dryly.
“See that you do,” she says, and sweeps off to call someone about the wood, presumably. It’s not too late to fix that situation, after all.
[Tim’s immortal. Somehow, he ends up using it to bring the second Robin back home.]

Summary
5 stupid ways Duke's siblings discovered how his powers worked, and 1 time he figured it out for himself.
"You have no idea," Dick said. "I had to live through all of their teenage years. They were each independently obsessed with Mythbusters at separate points in their life. I'm pretty sure Cass and Tim have wanted a meta to experiment on since they were 14, but Bruce always said no."

Bookmarker's Notes
Duke paused, toast half-way to his mouth. "You know, most people in Gotham are just pants-shittingly scared of you guys."
"We know," said Jason.
"And you guys are all actually really lame."
"We know," said Tim.
"Not us," Steph said. "People love Batgirls. We're trending on Twitter."
"Does everyone still think you're a second Batgirl?" Tim asked.
"It's a branding issue. My people are sorting it out."
"I'm her people," Cass said with all seriousness.

Probably Steph shouldn’t have agreed to help Jason when he showed up in the Gotham U library saying, “There’s a thing. Crime. We could stop it.” But, well, no one’s ever accused Steph of making the best choices.

Summary
Jason’s first mistake was hacking the Bats’ secret comm channel.
Although could it really be called hacking when they’d never bothered to change their frequency since his Robin days? All he’d had to do was log on, and boom – instant access to the best ways to avoid meddlesome Bats while he got shit done. And since his end was carefully muted, they wouldn’t even know anyone was listening.
His second mistake was thinking he could listen without getting sucked back into their drama.
Jason came back to Gotham with two intentions: one – protect Crime Alley and do it right this time. And two – avoid the Bats. Neither of these were proving as simple as he’d hoped.

Summary
Tim is hunched over his computer, bouncing between a report for B (Batman, not Bruce) and a spreadsheet for B (Bruce, not Batman) when Jason stumbles into the cave. If it weren’t for the fact that Jason had been in a somewhat good mood lately, Tim probably would have been a little more concerned about this fact. Still, it’s weird when, instead of ignoring Tim’s existence like he usually does, Jason walks over to him directly and says, “I'm in a time loop and I don't know why. Fix it."

There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.
Who was this Nightwing, anyway?

Summary
Jason slumped forward. “I just... I wanna see my brother again, y'know?” he admitted, dimly noting he was chewing on his thumbnail. “I dunno if he’d still like me, though. I’ve broken, like, a lot of his rules.”
Goldie’s hand returned to his shoulder as the other flashed a few quick signs. I do. He tapped Jason’s chest and flashed another. I’m proud of you.
Jason laughed. It was a wet thing, loud among the empty rooftop. “Well, it’s good you’re not him, right?”
An odd look, something Jason couldn’t name, crossed Goldie’s face for a moment. Then, that hand ran across his shoulders, pulling him into a side hug, as the other rounded up to ruffle his hair.
~
Weeks, months, hell, a year pass since Dick Grayson's disappearance, and Jason begins to wonder, sitting on that rooftop next a mute, bronze-clad mercenary, and a greasy bag full of Batburger fries, if he'll ever come home.Renegade is stuck living what can only be described to be his worst life, but at least he can check in on his little brother from time to time, even if it breaks his heart that he can't be the big brother Jason seeks.

The Nightwing Protocol by PurpleSoot

Summary
In a universe that falls somewhere in between Teen Titans and Young Justice, Robin was fourteen years old on the day he was killed in action, caught in a clever trap laid by the world’s most dangerous mercenary assassin.
Deathstroke’s Apprentice was fifteen on the day he finally surrendered to the Justice League, with blood on his hands and scars that will never heal.
Dick Grayson is seventeen on the day he chooses to face Slade Wilson again.
Some things you lose and can’t ever find again. Some things you drop and leave behind. Some things you just have to learn how to carry with you.
(They’ll call that the Nightwing Protocol, if he survives.)

Summary
The weight of the blade is familiar, and so is the spray of blood he skillfully avoids getting splashed by as he slits his target's throat. He watches for long enough to make sure the woman is dead, that he's done his job, before vanishing out the window.
These deaths don't affect him, not anymore. Slade forced that reaction out of him years ago.
What if the Titans hadn't figured it all out and gone to rescue Robin? What if Dick spent weeks, months, years as Deathstroke's apprentice?

Gotham wasn't kind to its girls. Jason would brutalize it until it agreed to be. He only hoped it would spare him long enough to make it so.

Bookmarker's Notes
Willis didn’t care. Or maybe he did, and not caring and caring looked the same, and maybe he only knew how to hit and nothing else. You gonna be a man, you gotta act like one, Jason. Take wha’chu want, show ‘em who’s boss. He tried it, once, to be a man like he was supposed to be, slammed his hand against a locker above Frankie Lowe’s head and boxed her in against his chest, told her to give him a kiss, baby, just a one.
“You’re scaring me,” she said, and her big, wide eyes reminded him of his mother.
“I’m sorry,” Jason said back, and threw up in the bathroom.

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?
