Summary
Tim Drake was someone that knew a lot of people, both in his civilian identity and when wearing his mask. He was someone that knew a lot of people, but not someone that people truly knew. Sure, there were people in his life that knew bits and pieces of himself, but no one knew everything and very few knew the same things if he could help it.
He was a puzzle that only himself held the answer key to.
So, what if his family and friends were given a cheat sheet?
----
Or, The Batfamily and the core members of Young Justice find themselves watching Tim Drake's life...as told through songs from Epic the Musical
[Goes from him becoming Robin to the end of the Red Robin run]

Summary
Tim Drake had always wanted siblings. It had always felt like such a foolish thing to think, to want, when he had been young, but the thought had still been there.
He had gotten older siblings as he had gotten older, but he still wanted a younger one as well.
When Damian came along he thought he might get that, he was wrong (at the time that is)
But then came Duke.Series

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?”

The Best Laid Plans Of Tim Drake Oft' Go Fucking Awry by quotidian_void

Summary
Wow, what doesn't happen in this fic?
There are Amazon Prime packages delivered to Batman from Red Hood in the form of a bloody and beaten Robin. This makes Bruce, Dick, Barbara and Alfred SAD. Tim sees that it makes them SAD and decides that he does not like them being SAD and he needs to get Jason back in the family and cure him of his Lazarus Pit Menty Bs (mental breakdowns).
So he comes to the only logical solution: meet Talia Al Ghul.
But Good Dad Bruce Batman does not like that so Tim does the only other logical thing: quit being Robin (by accident).
Then he goes to meet with Talia Al Ghul.
And he comes out with an assassin son.
So now Tim has to raise a homicidal bratty 10-year-old Damian along with running and hiding from the Bats while trying to cure Jason of his green eggs and ham rages and get the family back together.
Oh hey! What's that there in the distance! *zooms camera*

Summary
Tim stared at the ornate tombstone.
His Grandmother had always said she wouldn’t live past sixty. She had stated it, like it was stone cold fact. And she had been right.
The Drakes were cursed. Cursed to know the day they died.
Tim’s Grandmother had lived for sixty years. His father would live for forty three years, his mother thirty nine. There was a pattern there, one Tim didn’t like to think about. But he knew, no matter how much he tried to ignore it, he knew when he would die.
Seventeen felt too short a life to live.
--
or, an AU where Tim is born knowing when he will die.

Summary
The real problem is that, well.
Last time Tim went undercover, he kind of… came home and embarrassed himself.
It’s not that he’s shy about being seen in disguise, okay? They can all tease him all they want but it doesn’t bother him. He has way more blackmail on his siblings than they do him, so whatever.
It’s just… Caroline Hill is a different story.

Summary
Jason has a favorite gargoyle. It's the gargoyle on top of the public library that he hung out with ever since he was a street kid in Crime Alley. His favorite gargoyle was always just a stone statue, but when helpful icepacks appear in it's mouth, Jason doesn't know what to think. He certainly doesn't think the gifts are from a boy named Tim Drake that found a new hiding spot on Park Row Public Library's roof.

But most of all, Tim is alone.

Summary
There’s a small half-moon of blood under the white of Tim’s nail where he bent it. He studies the red of it, feeling foggy and dreamlike. “Can I ask you a question?”
His brother’s eyes flick to him and away again, surprised and wary. “What?”
His nail doesn’t hurt much, just the dullest of aches when he presses down against it. “When you were homeless, you slept with people for money, didn’t you?”
Jason jerks like he’s been slapped. His knuckles are so pale where they grip the steering wheel they suddenly look more bone than flesh. “Did I -”
“Was it worth it?” Tim asks, drifting like a cloud over whatever furious reaction Jason was about to give him. “The money, I mean.”
His sternum slams into the seatbelt with bruising force. Unbraced for it, his head whips forward and back against his seat as they swerve off the road again and skid to a halt with a screech of rubber.

Summary
He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.
He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.
She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”
And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

Summary
Graveyard mud, heavy and dark, clinging to a stained and torn suit. One shoe missing, a leg bent awkwardly and blood staining a bare foot.
Milk white skin beneath the mud, black hair hanging in muddy clumps around his ears. Blue eyes staring back at him, animal-bright and dilated in the brief moment before he flinches back from the light with a cry of pain that stabs through Jason to the soul.
His shaking hand closes around the flashlight before he can even think about it, cutting off the piercing beam and letting it spill out in shards between his fingers. For a petrifying moment as his eyes readjust, he’s sure that when he looks again, there will be nothing there.
“Tim?” he whispers.
The lean and ragged figure, tiny, god he’s so small, lowers his hands away from his face, away from his eyes wide and glittering almost silver in the moonlight.
Hands, mud-covered and torn. The red of his shredded fingernails is sickeningly dark in the broken light.
He’s vomiting before he even feels the bile making its way up his throat.
