Summary
Apparently, Mr. Oz decided psychologically torturing a 15 year-old for six months was no longer "cool." And now Tim's paying the price for that, because instead of killing him like any good, self-respecting villain would, he's dropped him back on Earth with an apology and a snack.
Or,
It's been six months for Tim. It's been 10 years for Tim's family.
I'm sure it will all be fine.

Summary
“I have time.”
Tim does not, in fact, have time.
But it’s Nightwing who is calling. What’s he going to do—say no? Preposterous. That's a crime in and of itself. Tim would rather swallow nails and kiss his mother goodnight than say no to Dick Grayson. “How can I help you, Nightwing?”

or, when tim is three people at the same time, jebaits the bats into joining their family twice, and might be accidentally running the city as an emergency hotline operator. not necessarily in that order. -

Summary
Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.
Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)
And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.
Sort of.

Summary
He wakes up in a hotel room with no memory of who he is, why he’s here, or what he’s meant to be doing. All he’s got is an empty wallet, twenty-something voices arguing in his head, and a woman called Pru who insists she can help him get his memories back if he trusts her.
This is so not disco.
(Or: Tim gets amnesia during BruceQuest, and goes on the worst backpacking trip through Europe in history. Featuring Tim as Harry Du Bois, and Pru as the world's most reluctant Kim Kitsuragi.)

Summary
Jason walks into Titans Tower expecting a fight and the satisfaction of beating down the new Robin.
He walks into a suicide instead.
(After multiple back-to-back missions, urgent reports that needed to be filled out, and the stress of a new hostile player in Gotham, sleep has not come easily for Tim. Fortunately for him however, his inability to die has given him a unique, but effective, way of dealing with insomnia.
Unfortunately for everyone else, Jason decides to invade the Titan Tower at the exact same time.)

Summary
The holidays are Tim's most favorite time of year.
He doesn't mean that like most people mean it, where they say "holidays," but they really only celebrate the one, and all the others are just happening at the same time. Tim celebrates ALL the holidays.
He's usually very good at keeping the various family tradition stories straight, too. He's been Jewish; he's been Christian; he's been pagan; he's been Muslim. Sometimes all at the same time. But this year...well, this year the Waynes are suddenly getting involved, and Tim starts to realize how hard it is to keep stories straight and less-than-stellar upbringings hidden when people are actually listening to you.
It's weird, Tim decides. And he's not sure he likes it.
(A year in the life of Tim Drake, as told through the various holiday parties of the Gotham elite and the unexpected lessons on privilege, bias, and various -isms that come with 'em. And maybe a little bit of friendship and understanding along the way, since we all know this has to end with Tim joining the Batfam early, right?)

Summary
When Tim first proposes his plan, Jason calls him batshit insane.
"Why?" Tim asks stubbornly. “It’ll be a win-win situation – I get a new life without some guardian tying me down, and you get a new life where you can eat food every day and live in a big house. You’ll probably have to go to school, but that’s the only downside I can think of. That, and pretending to be me, of course."
*
In the wake of Jack and Janet Drake's untimely death, Bruce sets out to search for their missing son, determined to adopt him. After a long, arduous search, he finally brings home a new addition to his family.
He fails to realise that the new kid living in Wayne Manor is not Tim Drake.

Summary
Damian didn’t need an older brother. Tough luck, Bruce thought he didn’t need a Robin either. Look where that got him.
Or Tim doesn’t care what Damian says. He has always wanted a baby brother to love and care for and Damian fits the bill. So what if he’s a little stabby stabby? That just gives him character.

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.

mothman is real and he wants to kill me by wesslan
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Mothman (Folklore)
27 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
All Tim wants is a cup of coffee, but his dear brother Dick insists on dragging him along to hunt a murderous and elusive Mothman that he claims is haunting Gotham City, specifically Crime Alley.
Tim doubts it’s really Mothman, seeing as West Virginia is very, very far away. But he gets sucked into the mystery all the same, because saying no to a determined Dick Grayson is about as easy as eating a chair with a pair of chopsticks. And besides, he's always been a sucker for a good conspiracy theory.
Alternatively: Mothman with a gun. Mothman take me by the gun? GlockMan? I think I’m losing it.

Summary
The main point of the entirety of this story and the reason that Tim is slowly dying in a pharmacy is that Tim lost his utility belt in the water. While a practical idea at the time, what with the extended period of attempting to keep his head above water, it ultimately resulted in Tim losing his extra strength antibiotics that Leslie had specially tailored to Tim. Therefore, Tim went a day without a dose, a day in which he was dumped into the ocean in the middle of January.
His immune system is thoroughly displeased with him at the moment.
OR: Tim Drake’s… decent into villainy? maybe?? kind of???

Summary
“Listen, Jason,” Tim says frankly down the line, and Jason tenses at the use of his real name. That doesn’t happen. Not casually, at least. “I’m pretty sure I’m going to die, so I need you to stay on the line with me.”
Jason short-circuits for a beat, and then runs the words back. “What?”
Tim takes a deep breath, and it’s steady. “I’m going to die,” he repeats, “and I don’t want to be alone, so please stay on the line.”

Summary
In which Jack and Janet Drake accidentally give seven-year-old Tim a pair of grimoires.
--
Letting the knife go, Jason aimed a fist at the center of the Replacement’s chest. It bounced off like punching a yoga ball. The Replacement shuddered.
“What the fuck is the Scarecrow Braid?” Demanded Jason, heart full of visceral hate.
