Summary
When Tim Drake was 17, he faked his own death.
Three years later, a new guy has entered Gotham, with hacking skills that outmatch Oracle’s, a blade sharp enough to cut through bone, and a penchant for disappearing better than the Batman himself.
And he’s making a mark on the villain population of Gotham.
He leaves no evidence behind, nothing to mark himself by, only the remnants of his kill and a name: Cardinal- Language:

Tim Drake's Guide to Getting Away With Murder (Twice) by kitfornow
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics)
10 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
By choosing not to call the police ten minutes ago, and the hospital twelve minutes ago, and Bruce fifteen minutes ago, the decision has been made. There is no backing out, now.
His sweatshirt is still covered in blood, and soaked from the rain, but he ignores this. It’s fine. He’s fine. He’s the same calm, level-headed Tim he’s always been. So he plans.
Tim is a murderer. He murdered someone. It's an unchangeable, unshakeable fact...but no-one else knows about it. No-one knows what Tim has done. And if he’s smart, and careful, no-one ever will.
All he has to do is learn to live with it.

Secondhand Son by Ireadtoomanybooks, Iwritetoomanybooks
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
05 Dec 2025

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.

the war is over (i don't know who won it) by Sapphic_terror
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
09 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Tim is on the edge of seventeen when he realizes that he loves his little brother, when he chooses to love him. He’s nineteen and aching when he realizes that if nothing changes - he will bury him in a too-small coffin.
Or worse, he learned a long time ago that there is always a worse. That death is hardly the worst thing you could do to a person.
It starts with Ra’s, it starts with black hooded figures lingering in the shadows, it starts with the uptick in League attacks, it starts with his too-clever mind connecting all the right dots. It starts with a ten-year-old boy who nearly kills him the first time they meet.
-
Or Ra's will never stop coming after Damian so Tim makes a sacrifice, and then he loses himself so that his little brother will live past eighteen

Summary
Waking up in your 10 year old body is… jarring to say the least.
Presented with an opportunity he can’t waste, Tim fixes everything, but at a cost no one remembers. They’ve forgotten it all.
They’ve forgotten him.
He convinces himself it's better this way...because it is.

Damian doesn't have the patience for high society, but if he has to conform, he might as well learn from the best.

Summary
A lot of people tell Tim that he looks just like his mother.
They share the same eye color and shape, often cold and calculating. The same sharp smiles and ghostly pale skin, and the same, lean body frames that could almost be described as delicate.
One last thing they have in common is an orange pill bottle.
The only difference is the name.
(Or how parents pass things on to their children.)

Summary
The news that Timothy Drake, Gotham’s cryptid millionaire, has shot the Joker dead during a public live-stream hits the world like a freight train—and that is just the opening salvo of his bugfuck plan.
Maybe there exists, in the multiverse, a configuration of Jason Todd who will weather this with decorum, dignity and self-respect. This version of Jason Todd decides that the life of an academic is not, really, all that rewarding. In contrast, the life of Timothy Drake’s live-in house-husband is looking more appealing by the second.

Summary
The last real thing Harry remembers is standing across from Voldemort and watching the killing curse fly at his face.
Then he visited a fluffy white limbo that somewhat resembles King Cross Station and instead of choosing to move on or go back he does something else entirely.
And wakes up in his cupboard on the morning of Dudley's eleventh birthday.
Because that makes sense.
(No. No it doesn't.)
But Harry is going to roll with it anyway.

God, It’s Brutal Out Here by greatresponsibility
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics), DCU, DCU (Comics)
22 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Tim rolls bloodshot eyes, but smiles, seeming amused. “I love you Dick, but we all know I’m not really a Wayne. If anything, I’m a distant cousin at best. Not exactly close enough to be a part of family dinners.”
He says it casually, without an ounce of the bitterness or contempt one would expect from such a statement. As if it's a fact of the world that Dick should obviously be aware of.
He even has the audacity to then take a sip of his coffee while laughing at a tiny dog walking into a pole across the street.
What the fuck.
(Or, the Batfam becomes increasingly aware of the disconnect between Tim and them. Everyone panics.
Well, everyone except Tim. He’s just wondering why no one will let him finish his goddamn coffee.)

Northern Attitude (I Was Raised on Little Light) by theskeptileptic
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
10 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
It's not *Tim's* fault Batman slept with his mom sixteen years ago, or Tim's fault that Bruce Wayne regrets signing away his parental rights fifteen years ago, but Jack Drake sure thinks it is. Now Damian is bugging him about cows and family and Jason and Dick won't stop kidnapping him and Bruce is acting like court orders don't matter, like he doesn't have a huge bat-shaped secret to protect from literally the whole freaking world.
Why is Tim the only functioning adult in this situation?
This was supposed to be coated in angst, but it fell in the fluff bucket instead. (So, update, some people are saying this may not be as fluffy as I am advertising it. I plead the 5th.)

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

Summary
And something exhausted and brittle in Tim just snaps. “Full disclosure: I don’t care what you think.” A thrill of fear shoots down his spine as he spits those words, but he pushes it down and steps forward, glaring. His heartbeat thunders in his ears. “Look, I’m here to make a deal and I am willing to pay. I want - ”
Between one blink and the next, a searingly hot palm presses against his chest. The demon is suddenly much, much closer. Her stare bores into him as she says, in perfect tandem with his own voice, “ - Jason Todd back from the dead."
-
Or, alternatively: Tim makes a deal.

Summary
The Bats were dead and Dick was the only one left alive. He had nothing left for him so why shouldn’t he join them?
Waking up back in time was not the plan but Dick wasn’t complaining. He finally has his family back and he will not lose them again.
Robin has always been able to do what Batman couldn’t. It was okay that Bruce won’t kill. Dick wouldn’t ask him to compromise his morals.
But he had no such restrictions. He doesn’t mind killing, getting his hands dirty, and being a monster if it means his family is alive.
.
Or a Dark Dick Grayson who is just a tad overprotective of his family. Just a tad.
