Summary
Tim Drake has a case to solve, and the biggest obstacle getting in his way is his family caring about him.
After finding a riddle left behind from one of Red Hood's interrogations, Tim decides that it'll be a great project to work on while he's benched. Unfortunately, Tim's no closer to figuring out who's behind the riddles and his family thinks he needs to take a break to care for himself. Tim's determined to crack the case and if the riddles keep leading him to places he was meaning to visit anyways, that's just a bonus.

Summary
This was bad. Her thoughts were hard to make out with the pain in her head. The last thing she remembered clearly was the stage and then Harley and Peter trying to grab for her. Something had to happen in between then and now, that led her to being dropped on a rooftop.
She padded her pockets down and cursed when she realized she didn’t have her phone. Any chance of using the emergency credit card she kept slipped inside the case was lost with it. Only her Stark Watch remained, though severely cracked. When she touched its screen, nothing happened. She’d need to find another way to get in touch with her family.

Summary
Tim Drake was always the outsider-the replacement, placeholder for something better. The kid who showed up uninvited, who begged for scraps of attention and never got more than the bare minimum.
He'd always known that Bruce didn't love him the way he loved the others. Bruce barely looked at him unless he had to. But when the Team is captured, Bruce's decision to sacrifice him finally confirms what Tim always feared.
He really was expendable.

Summary
“He found himself wondering if anyone would notice before the spell was up. It seemed unlikely; there were often stretches where contact was limited between him and his family. Normally, it was not born from necessity but rather strife. And perhaps strife would bleed from this.
He hoped not.”
When a confrontation with a powerful magic user goes awry, Damian is cursed, robbing him of his voice. Or, communicate without a fresh bruise appearing, that is.
What begins as an inconvenience quickly spirals into something far worse, as he finds himself struggling with the mounting realization: no one has noticed. As his silence deepens, so do the rifts with his family. He’s not helped by the many more sinister theories the people around him assume because of his new temperament.
One thing is certain: he really, really hates magic.

Summary
Tim really made it out for himself, he thinks. He's CEO of Gothams most prestiges companies, got to make advances in the name of Drake industries that would have his dad rolling in his grave, he's even in a good place as Red Robin. Damian and Jason no longer hate him, he's got his own apartment, he's gotten the big family he's always wanted. So yeah, Tim's likes to think he's made it in life. And then he gets de-aged.
or
The one where Tim gets de-aged while chasing a kidnapping case and although he's cute it starts to bring up lots of uneasy questions about his childhood, none of them good.

Summary
The wind whips around, rapid, and sharp with sand and grit.
Tim can’t see—there’s so much dust trapped between his eyelids that he can hardly tell if they’re even closed or not. It burns and stings, it fills his lungs, and all he can think about is his body, buried under a new dune of sand, and his family, so many miles away, not even thinking to look for him there.And just as suddenly, the sun and sand and howling winds are gone.
-----
In which the universe takes pity on Tim, just once, if it even was the universe at all.
