Summary
Tim Drake doesn't think he's afraid of the Joker.
He tells himself it's Jason. Old ghosts. Secondhand trauma.
But fear doesn't explain missing memories, unfamiliar hands, or the way his body reacts before his mind can catch up.
When he finally confronts the joker, everything breaks.
Or
JJ exists for one reason: to survive.
He remembers what Tim can’t. Carries what Tim shouldn’t have to.
When the Joker returns, JJ can tell things are going to go south real quick.

Summary
...
“Well, if it’s that importan’ puddin’, it was way back, when the angry one was still Robin. We’d just gotten out and a boy literally tripped over ‘r way. And Joker, he really wannted ta keep him, so we did. ‘was a real slip of a boy too. I think his name mighta been Timmy once, but Joker really wanted a son, so we just- ya know. In any case, he escaped, was a real smart one too— used a plastic fork and some tape. I never looked for him, figured he’da had enough of me, but if ya do find him, tell him ‘m sorry.“
Tim froze. Go figure she’d remember his stupid name years down the line. His hands were shaking. Damian had turned to look at Tim, eyes as big as saucer pans.
Yeah, there was no way he could convince them that wasn’t him.
Absently, he rubbed at the make-up concealing his scars. They’d paled further with age, but Tim could tell they were there anyway.
“RR, stay exactly where you are. Robin, use force if needed.“
or: an unfortunate run-in with the Joker leads to Damian asking questions. Questions Tim really wishes he wouldn't ask.

Summary
"Where was that at the Tower, huh?" Jason gritted out, breathless from his pitiful escape attempt.
"I was trying to be kind," Tim brushed his fingers against the sides of Jason's face and reveled in the way he tensed up. "I'm not anymore."
-
Jason did more than break Tim's bones at the Titans Tower.
Junior decides to return the favor.

Summary
“I want to know how he died!” Jason snapped after a pause, scowling. “I’ve gone through everything in the system. All the files B has on it says that he died, but there’s no details! There’s no description of the scene, no suspects, no cause of death, no anything. All it says is that he’s dead.”
“Maybe it’s not something you should look into…” Dick trailed off but Jason’s reply was lost to Tim’s ears.
‘That’s not funny.’
Despite his best efforts, a giggle escaped Tim’s lips.
Or: Tim just wanted to drop some information off to the Cave, not talk about the Joker.

Summary
The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus's Paradox, is a paradox and common thought experiment about whether an object (in the most common stating of the paradox, a ship) is the same object after having all of its original components replaced with others over time.
Or: Tim’s parents have been slowly replacing parts of his body since he was eight years old. Tim knows he was always meant to be a tool more than a child, but when his parents start to cross lines, he finally snaps.

Summary
Tim snatched the pendant back, cradling it in his palm. “It was a gift.” He stuffed it back under his shirt with a sharp glare and hissed, “You have no right to touch me nor tell me what to do.”
Damian faltered, indignation flagging to uncertainty. “I don’t understand,” he murmured. “Why would grandfather gift you a powerful amulet for nothing in return?”

Summary
“Tim knows he should be moving, knows that he shouldn’t be letting the smog climb up his boots and try to consume him. And the self-preservation was trying to get him to move, it was tugging at the muscles in his legs, the tendons in his hands to rev his bike and speed down the tunnel. But the smell of the toxin, of the poison that the crazy in him was still addicted to, was still as sweet as he remembered.
A part of him missed it. Missed it so bad that he didn’t know he inhaled a lungs worth of it till he choked on it a few seconds later, snapping him back to reality. The stomach dropping, eyes widening as the reality of what he’s just done set in..
Shit.”

No Longer You by SeaSkate

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
Bruce knew that something was going to happen tonight, sooner or later.
The four boys (and they were all in the manor tonight, god bless) had been sharing hushed whispers, especially with Tim - who had been the only one to have noticed the fact that Bruce could see all of this. There was a reason why the two were called alike so often, they could read the other near-instantly.
Tonight, Tim seemed nervous.
...
Or: the batfamily is 50% better than canon, and Tim explains what the fuck happened in Red Robin.

Summary
He could clean every artefact, wear every coat, or speak every line, but she wouldn’t be there with him. He had to find her coats in her hamper, had to watch interviews and childhood videos to burn his father’s laugh into his memory. Dana was there, Dana helped, but Dana wasn’t her. All he could do was grow his hair out and look in the mirror, letting the public call him ‘Janet?’ so that he could think that she was standing behind him.
The owl was gone, he realised. He felt damp.
…Oh, those were tears falling down his cheeks.
…
Or: Tim Drake; adopted son of Bruce Wayne, half-Korean, a master of galas, and a boy who just misses his parents.
Or Or: A character study of my favourite character for his birthday (ft. art)

Summary
“This was a great idea,” Tim mutters, relaxing into the hot bath with a soft sigh. His cuts aren’t stinging anymore and the water feels heavenly. He blinks, eyelids getting heavy, then spots the beer again. The amber bottle is beaded with condensation, and it looks invitingly cool.
There’s a soft sound outside the bathroom window, followed by the unmistakable hum of Krypto’s heat vision and a short scream. Ah, ninja. The sounds of battle and mayhem continue unabated as he eyes the bottle again.
What can it hurt? He reaches out and wraps his hand around the pleasantly cold bottle before bringing it to his lips. It’s bitter, biting and bubbly and cold enough to wake him up a little.
The popping sound of gunfire nearby cuts off almost as soon as it begins, followed by silence and then more screaming and curses. He thinks he hears a faint, distant, “Oy, my soddin’ nose—!” but can’t be sure. Tim tilts his head, weighing his options, then shrugs. Eh, he’s sure Krypto has the situation well in paw. He loves playing fetch with ninjas.

utility by 14Passionz (14Muffinz)
Fandoms: Young Justice (Comics), Batman - All Media Types
01 Apr 2025
Tags
Summary
The jokes about Batman’s seemingly endless utility belt started when he first joined the Justice League, and have only evolved since.
Several newer recruits are absolutely under the impression that Batman is secretly a meta with hammerspace. Nobody’s encouraged it, but nobody’s discouraging it either, whether it’s out of silent belief or for entertainment.
Kon jokes, too, because there’s nothing stopping him. The material is right there and as long as nobody gets too outrageous, they can fuck with the bats by pretending their belts are more astounding than they are.
[But what if it's not just a joke? Inspired by A Heart of Sunflower by Knight_Of_Breath.]
