    But Tim never looked for the easy way out.

    or
    After his first death on a quest to bring Bruce back, Tim gets caught by Ra's, and now he needs to live with the consequences of his own choices.

    Summary

    He’s very aware that, were He a living, breathing human being, He would just be a parasocial stalker. He likes to almost consider Himself part of this family on good days. If He were to come out of hiding only to find that everyone wanted Him gone (which was extremely likely, considering they didn’t know Him), then well…

    He doesn’t know what He’d do with Himself. Their lack of means to perceiving Him means that He can never be shooed away, and can never be imposing on anyone.

    Unfortunately, it might be a bit too late for that. Damian knows He’s here. Damian likely won’t rest until the mystery is solved, too. There’s no answer to be found though. No one can ever find Him, not even if they tried their damndest. He is no one.

    ———

    Or,

    Timothy Jackson Drake is a ghost. That’s unimportant, though, because he lives in the city of the world’s coolest family ever. Surely the bats won’t notice some friendly cohabitation, right?

    Summary

    There is occasionally a certain point one reaches during the attempt to attain a goal where one decides that the goal is just not worth it.

    Unfortunately, this also often coincides with being at a point in the attainment of that goal where it’s too damn late and you’re just gonna have to suck it up, buttercup, and get your shit together and do it anyway.

    Tim is pretty sure this shit is absolutely not worth it, but it’s too late now and even if it wasn’t, Mama ain’t raise no fuckin’ quitter.

    Or:

    Tim’s quest to bring Bruce back from his Time-Travel-Super-Vacation goes horribly topsy-turvey when Ra's takes a more pro-active approach to keeping Tim prisoner, and he ends up in an alternate universe where he never existed, and everybody is disorientingly well-adjusted and weirdly obsessed with his “wellness”, whatever that means.

    Tim hates mystical artifacts.

    (Alternate universe Better Batfam trope)

    Summary

    “Baby Bird?” Jason’s voice shifted, softened into something almost fragile, as if he were speaking to a child. Maybe, in his eyes, Tim was exactly that. The familiar nickname—so wrong, so tender—sent a tremor down Tim’s spine. Jason never called him that. Jason never spoke to him with warmth.

    Jason hated Tim.

    He shut his eyes tight, praying this was just a cruel dream. But then warm hands cupped his face, grounding him. A metallic clatter echoed through the cave, sharp and final. The gun had hit the floor.

    “No, no, no—don’t close those blue eyes, Baby Bird. Look at me,” this time Jason’s voice cracked into a plea. Every word trembled with fear, with a need that made Tim’s chest tighten painfully. Tim bit down on a sob, the taste of salt and blood filling his mouth, forcing himself to lift his gaze and meet the toxic green fire of Jason’s eyes once more. He could feel the tremor in Jason’s hands, the way his knees pressed into the cold floor, and it made his own body ache with tension.

    Or,

    Tim wakes up in Gotham, which looks too foreign, but he finds a home there.
