Summary
The kid was going to die at this rate, whether or not Jason had anything to do with it. Apparently dead Robins were just a thing, now, and Bruce didn’t give a shit whether they lived or died.
There was something almost comforting about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
There was something fucking infuriating about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
Well. If those fucks didn’t care about their baby bird now, Jason would just have to make them care. And he had a few ideas on just how to do that.
Robin might get a little broken in the process, but what was a little kidnapping and torture between friends?
***
a.k.a. the Titans Tower AU where Jason kidnaps Tim instead of trying to kill him. And then he kidnaps Steph. And Dick. And Cass. And...
Jason may have a problem.
Less crack-y than it sounds. This is mainly hurt, angst, and reckoning with canon trauma. Comfort will come! There *will* be a happy ending.

Summary
Tim doesn't expect much after he's left for dead, bleeding out in the ruin that had once been Gotham. His family is dead, his friends as well, and there is nothing else to look forward to besides joining them in the beyond. Dying and delirious, he hangs on by a thread - Long enough for an offer to be made, a request for help and Tim has never been able to say no to that.
He doesn't expect much and he certainly doesn't expect a second chance but it seems like Gotham doesn't let go easily of what they considers to be theirs.
He dies and yet he doesn't. He dies but he lives.
He dies and he is taken back, time unwinding, the clock set back and he is born into a new life. A new him, and at a point where he can change things for the better, if he can survive.
Tahmid al Ghul (Wayne) is born in Spring 1997, as Heir of the Demon Head, as Ibn al Xu'ffasch - nearly twenty years before he died as Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne.
He just hopes he will be able to survive growing up in the League of Assassins, and that he will be able to go back to his family once more.

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
Where is Damian? Why can’t he see anything clearly? Where is the little brat? Damian had been by him in the cave when everything had exploded, they had been arguing like always when the two of them had gotten the punishment to go clean the trophy room, stop yelling at each other, stop being at each other's throat for two minutes and go clean the goddamn trophy room-
They had been cleaning, got into another knock out drag out argument, and it had come so close to blows and they had been screaming more than cleaning and-
The stupid fucking shoe, in the magical section- exploded out-
--
Tim and Damian switch bodies, the two of them realize exactly why the other does the things they do.
