Summary
Timothy’s body was nothing but a byproduct of violence and death. The pit healed his wounds but left scars that burned worse. He was ugly, he knew, but it hardly bothered him. Ugly things were real and permanent. They marred the world, left their mark wherever they went. It was not his ugliness that unnerved him. It was his simplistic mind that he was ashamed of.
His body was broken but his mind was carved empty. He’d been brilliant once, he was sure. Sometimes Ra’s told him stories of his past intelligence, of the times when he called him Detective. Timothy listened to those stories with childish envy, unable to comprehend how the person Ra’s spoke of with such pride had been him.
Sometimes, he thought the Bat might love him. Then he would remember that he wasn't the one he looked at with such soft eyes and he'd think of the Tim that the Bat wanted with such visceral hatred that he scared himself.
or
Timothy forgets. Ra's lies. His family is there for him, come hell or high water.

Summary
He hesitated, hesitated but nonetheless replied, “I got blasted by cuddle pollen. It’s why I tripped. It’s why I got caught.”
The line went dead silent.
Tim clenched his fists as the pale figure uncovered his face. “I’m sorry.”
The line split off into a cacophony of sounds. But Tim couldn’t hear any of it, because the stone and crumbles of cement and wood slipped off the purple suit and the pale man sat up, a hand going to his sickeningly green hair.
He was trapped. Trapped within a building’s remains with a conscious Joker, dipped head-to-toe in cuddle pollen which was already starting to become close to unbearable without human touch.
OR
A cuddle-pollened Tim gets stuck in a collapsed building with the Joker.

Summary
Damian is younger than in canon and doesn't arrive on Bruce's doorstep before he gets lost in time and is declared dead. Talia gives up on the hope of getting him out now that his father is gone, resigning herself to getting him out when he is older and capable of making it on his own.
Neither of them counted on Tim Drake being as awesome as he is and looking so protector-shaped in Damian's young eyes.
Meanwhile, Tim is having a not so good time. He ran away from home to chase after his dad because his brother doesn't believe him, he lost his spleen, Ra's al Ghul kicked him out of a window... Just what else is in store for him before he can finally see his dad again?!

Summary
At fourteen, Tim Drake is no stranger to loneliness. But when his parents die in a plane crash, and a will reveals that Bruce Wayne is his biological father, he’s dropped into a world of vigilantes, legacy, and disappointment. Bruce, caught off-guard and not ready for more family, keeps his distance.
Tim doesn’t push. He’s used to being a shadow.
But shadows notice things. They listen. They help. And while Bruce avoids his newest son, Alfred brings him in—gently, steadfastly, and without question. Tim finds belonging not in the Cave, but in quiet acts of care. In warm mugs of milk. In folded laundry. In the faint scent of his grandmother’s perfume still lingering in the halls.
Bruce may not be ready yet. But Tim is already home.

Summary
“Why would he just take it?” Tim wailed. “Why couldn't he just ask me first?”
“Hey, hey, it's okay,” Dick tried to soothe, his hand awkwardly hovering over Tim's back. “We'll get it back. What was in it? Do you need it for a case or something?”
Tim stiffened.
“Tim?”
“It's private,” Tim muttered, wanting to die.
“A private case? Or - “ Dick's eyes widened in realization. “Tim, do you keep a diary?”
***
Since he was a kid, Tim has kept a notebook where he writes self-indulgent, made-up stories about being friends with Robin.
Jason finds it.

Summary
“I love all my children equally,” Bruce said, smiling at the camera.
At the millenia-old answer to the equally old question of “Who is your favorite child”, the people in the interview laughed. As was the only appropriate reaction to the answer.
Tim laughed too. Along with his adopted siblings next to him. His lips parted in a wide smile and his eyes scrunched up as a soft chuckle left his throat.
But inside, Tim was seething.
I love all my children equally.
Bullshit, Tim thought through clenched teeth. Bull-fucking-shit.

Summary
“I was— I was— Red Hood p— pressed the kn— knife to my throat again and I— I—”
“Shhh, it’s alright.”
“I thought I was going to die. There was b— blood everywhere and I couldn’t—”
Bruce gripped him tightly. “You’re alright, Tim. You’re safe now. You’re safe.”
“I—” Tim wriggled out of Bruce’s hold, needing to see him again, when someone else caught his attention.
Over near the doorway, Jason stood. His brows were knitted together in worry. He looked guilty and horrified, and at the same time, like he wanted to help but was hesitating.
But all Tim could see were his glinting green eyes.

Summary
“So, where’s the evidence?” Tim asked.
“One moment,” Bruce said, still staring down at Lila like she was god’s greatest gift to earth. And she was the greatest gift to earth. But Tim’s greatest gift—not God’s—because Tim technically was the one who had swirled her up in a test tube.
Tim accidentally creates a baby out of his and Kon’s DNA in grief. He keeps this a secret until he can’t, and then pivots onto the story that he’s “babysitting.” With a family full of detectives, it’s a story unlikely to last.
(AKA the fic in which a baby prompts Tim to reconcile his relationships with his loved ones)

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?

Summary
Tim hated cuddle pollen. He really did. That didn't mean he reached out to anyone in the throws of it, though. In fact, he actively hid the fact that he was hit.
He agreed to drive Red Hood's bike back to the Cave despite the cold. He'll end up regretting it.

Summary
Drake was turning, leaving his room.
The same black, gooey thing in his chest reared at the sight of his turning back. And it burned his chest with a fury that went all the way up to his throat.
Damian couldn’t help the words he said next.
“But Grayson has given up on you.”
Drake halted, back still turned.
“And you know deep down that so has Father and Todd and everyone else. Because you don’t belong. You never did.”
OR
He might not have admitted it openly, but Damian does like Drake's company. After a fight with Tim which Damian said some things he didn't mean to, he tries to fix the new rift between them. By learning how to skateboard.
There's a competition, the winning prize being a skateboard signed by Tim's favorite skateboarder. And Damian was going to win. Two weeks to learn how to skate? For Damian, it was as easy as a breeze.

Summary
His mind, being helpful for once, circled back to everything Tim had said before Jason got sidetracked with the whole knowing-their-secret-identities-since-he-was-nine thing. Something about a curse…people forgetting Robin if he were to take up the cape…constantly checking that Jason knew his name…
“Jesus Christ, kid,” Jason said finally. “Were you cursed to have everyone forget your existence?”
Or: Tim Drake is cursed to be forgotten by everyone he meets, over and over again. Somehow, Jason Todd is the only one who can remember him.

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?”

“Serial murderer.” Nightwing corrected,
Tim squinted at them, “Oh, my bad. That makes it so much better.”

Summary
Tim Drake likes to think he's your typical 12 year old. Well, except for the sneaking around at night and doing detective work. And figuring out the Bats' identity. But that's it. Really.
Except everything seems to be spiraling out of his control. Something serious is going on in Gotham, and Tim might be the only one who can put all the pieces together in time to stop it.
Or: Tim is a crazy little detective who just wants to help in any way he can. Of course the Bats are going to adopt him.
