Summary
____
Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.
Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.

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?”

Summary
Tim gets de-aged, and tells absolutely no one.
He also, in no particular order, gets therapy, does a lot of crime, channels his inner cyberbully, steals another Batmobile, moves to Metropolis (temporarily), causes an Arkham breakout, gets kidnapped, kidnaps someone else, and accidentally becomes a supervillain somewhere along the way.
Parental supervision is for losers.

Summary
After an accident, Tim wakes up in the body of a nine-year-old boy, destined to die for a family that considered him at best a replacement. He doesn't want this fate.
Tim's plan to survive in his new world was simple.
First, he had to stay on the sidelines, save Jason and not get involved with the Wayne family.
He was already an unwanted child once, he didn't want to be again.
God, or the Author in this case, had other plans for him.

Summary
Bruce had met Jack and Janet Drake even before Timothy Drake was born, and he only had a few words to describe them: Jack Drake was an eagle — always watching, claws sharper than anything, and knowing exactly how to strike; Janet Drake was a snake — slick and cunning, her stare could freeze anyone in place, and her tongue was as sharp as a knife. On top of that, she injected her venom into people in a painful yet silent way. That was how Bruce knew the Drakes.
And Damian, while trying to dig up more information about his not-so-enemy-but-still-an-enemy Tim Drake, found some of his father’s old files on them.
That night, at a gala, Bruce and Damian watched and realized just how much Tim truly was his parents’ son.Or,
Tim, out of nowhere, decides to join Bruce and Damian at a gala, and only at the end of the night do they discover why he had done that — and also realize that, yes, Tim was a Wayne… but above all else, he was, undeniably, a Drake.

Summary
He needed Peter.
So he followed him. Quietly. Carefully. Religiously.
He mapped Peter’s class schedule in his head. Memorized his grocery list. Noted the exact way his fingers scratched behind his ear when he was deep in thought, the way he hummed low and off-key when he didn’t think anyone could hear. Tim knew he liked the rain, that he always paused for it. Knew he hated silence — filled it with podcasts, music, half-spoken thoughts, anything to keep it away.
He didn’t expect Peter to notice. He certainly didn’t expect Peter to turn around one night — high above the city, where the air was thinner and the noise finally died down — and look him dead in the eyes.
“You know,” Peter said, one eyebrow raised, “most people would just ask for my number.”
And just like that, the watcher became the watched.
