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.

Summary
“Batman was getting dangerously close to crossing a line that Tim had been so sure he would never cross.
“It became obvious to Tim that Batman needed a Robin. He was this close to tracking down Dick just to get him to take back the role. It would have exposed that Tim knew the truth, but it would have been worth it. And if Dick wouldn't do it, if it really came down to it? He’d throw on tights if he had to, drag Batman back to the light himself.
“Batman needed a Robin. And maybe that's why Tim was so relieved when Spoiler, a young vigilante clad in purple, showed up out of the blue and refused to leave Batman alone.”
Or,
Seventeen year old Tim Drake, CEO and stalker extraordinaire, has known the truth about the Bats ever since he was a kid. But he never put on the Robin suit.
Following a gala and breakout at Arkham, Tim reluctantly finds himself drawn into the Batfamily’s orbit. And although no secret stays buried forever, nobody could have predicted the disaster to come.
Or,
A Tim joins the batfamily late au!

Summary
"I'm going to bed," Tim finally says.
Bruce stares up at him from inside the car. His hand hovers in the air. "Tim, if you would like to... talk, about tonight..."
He trails off. Tim wonders if being that open about feelings is physically hurting him.
"I'm just gonna go to bed."
Tim slams the car door shut before Bruce can respond.

Summary
Tim’s eyes met Bruce’s.
He smiled a soft sad smile.
“Tim, don’t—”In one universe, Tim Drake is isolated, neglected, and drowning in loneliness.
In another, Tim Drake is dead—a beloved son whose loss shattered the Bat-family, turning them colder and more dangerous.
When these worlds collide, Tim is thrust into a reality where his family’s grief has made them unrecognizable. Overwhelmed and terrified, he runs—but this broken Bat-family won’t let him go. They’ll do whatever it takes to reclaim the boy they lost, even if they have to remake him.

Summary
Then Jason had Tim by the wrist. He cursed himself for not catching an extra nap -- reaction time was starting to suffer. He could've flipped Jason off him in a million ways, but it didn't seem worth starting a fight in the kitchen and ruining one of the few suits he didn't have blood on. Begrudgingly, he let Jason unwrap the chemical burn which, yeah, looked worse than it had the night before.
"I flushed it and all that shit, I'm not stupid."
"Yeah, but knowing your dumbass, you're going to forget about it and get the infection of the decade."

Scarecrow's out of Arkham again, and Tim's taken the case. Except he's getting tired of being one step behind, and has decided to figure out Scarecrow's next formula before the villain even can. How hard can that be?Ft. a totally healthy hyperfixation on a case!
chapter count is a total guess lol. it may go up. this was meant to be a one shot and i went a little bonkers.

“Second of all,” Tim continues as if he hadn’t been interrupted, “We’ll be more efficient if we review the footage together. Two heads are better than one, we can focus on different aspects of the tape and we’re less likely to miss something if we watch it together.”
“That’s bullshit and you know it. Besides, two heads certainly won’t be better than one if they’re both sick as a dog.”

Tim is sick. So now Jason is sick. Jason is going to kill his whole family and then himself.

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.

“Drake?”
When Drake’s only answer to his name was a weak sigh, Damian’s concern grew exponentially.
“Report.” Damian said.
Drake’s laugh was abrupt and wet, ending with a cough.
“F… Fine.” Drake said. “Are you okay? You hurt? I’m su… I’m sure help’s coming…”
“Drake.” Damian said more firmly. “Report.”
“Told you…” Drake’s voice was somehow even weaker than before. “Fine… Can you move?”
Trapped blood trapped blood blood blood trapped.
“No.” Damian said.

The fight is coming to an end as all five of the criminals have been captured. Damian stands up, preparing to help the hostages, only for his step to stutter. His knee breaks, forcing him back onto the floor.
Only then does he realize what happened to the bullet that the man shot. It was embedded in his leg.
“Robin!” Nightwings' voice rings out across the room.

Summary
He wasn’t even there, and Damian wasn’t sure why he was surprised. Even when he’d hesitantly extended the invitation, he’d known better than to count it as a sure thing. It wasn’t like the nature of his father’s job didn’t result in it’s fair share of unpredictable emergencies. It was just that if one had come up, he would likely have been called in to assist as Robin. So when Bruce didn’t show, he’d waited eagerly for the alert, already planning his excuses.
The makeshift gallery was nearly empty of families now, and Damian was fiercely avoiding coming to terms with the fact that his father had just decided not to come.

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
Peter, like any 14 year old superhero, really wants to catch a break. He's just a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, nothing special. Well, only if you don't look at his biology ever since the radioactive spider bite. And his extensive track record of running away and deaths in his life. And that his foster-dad is Tony Stark. And that his mentors are the Avengers. And the fact that he was randomly kidnapped one morning on his way to school and now he's in an alternate universe with a bunch of different superheroes that keep stalking him.
He thinks they mean well, but they're really weird. Besides that Red Hood guy. He's pretty cool. Though something about them- especially Nightwing- is familiar...

Summary
It all started when the teacher gave his students a group project. Unfortunately, Damian got assigned to an obnoxious group of girls who are big fans of BL and k-pop. The ex-assassin was forced to tolerate his loudmouthed groupmates and tried to play by the rules. A moment later, his groupmates found out that he actually has skills for make-up and they wanted him to do theirs. Because of this, he was hanging around with these girls lately and his misadventures start to ensue.
For some reason, there are certain misunderstandings that keeps on piling up along the way. In most cases, everyone thinks that Damian is gay.
Damian wondered why on earth everyone came up to such conclusion.
Everyone, including his family, literally thought that he's gay.
The boy finds this ridiculous and it seems he's going to have a hard time clearing up these misunderstandings.
