    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.

    A continuation of Brothers Fight (Read Part 1 for context)

    Summary

    In a world where Jason Todd survives Ethiopia, Tim Drake still finds a way to help Batman by surveilling Gotham rogues and anonymously informing to the Bats and Oracle. It's a delicate balance, to help the world's greatest detective without drawing too much of his attention, but Tim can't risk Batman discovering his parents' very illegal collection of ancient artifacts.

    At least, until his parents begin behaving strangely and Tim's investigation finds him at the center of a plot that threatens the entire city. The only way to save Gotham is for Tim to reach Batman, but doing so means losing everything he knows.

    The Drakes Spoiled Brat. (im sorry dad) by

    Summary

    ____

    Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
    A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.

    But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
    Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.

    Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
    Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"

    They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.

    Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.

    Tags
    Summary

    Bruce nods. “It makes the most sense. You haven’t been made, you’re the right age, and your face isn’t known in that circle. We’ll fabricate a profile and ID. You’ll go during lunch, find Everett’s bag, get the drive, and extract quietly.”

    Tim just stares at him. “You want me to go undercover… as a girl?”

    Steph claps her hands, grinning ear to ear. “Best day of my life.”

    I'm not a villain, I swear! by

    Fandoms: DCU (Comics), Young Justice (Cartoon)  

    19 Jul 2020

    Tags
    Summary

    Tim wakes up in a world in which Batman doesn't exist. And by consequence, the Robins never became heroes.

    Dick is a Talon, Jason is Red Hood (a villain), and Damian is a League of Assassins assassin. And Tim apparently is a hero called Draken, who, frankly, sucks at being a hero.

    And in this weird alternate reality, something big is brewing and Batman isn't here to keep the Justice League from tearing itself apart.

    Tim is really really done with everything. Dick, Jason, and Damian aren't helping.

    Tim really really hates magic as well.

    Summary

    Hypothesis: A person’s happiness is directly proportional to how close in proximity Tim is to them at any given moment

    Observation: Tim’s the problem, and he always will be.

    Conclusion: in situations in which is presence is allowed but not necessary, Tim shouldn’t stick around

     

    or

     

    Tim’s always measured his life in statistics, and he knows he isn’t significant to anyone, like the numbers in the product of an equation that get rounded out

    Wants and Needs (Well, Mostly Wants) by

    Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types  

    15 Feb 2026

    Tags
    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

    “Well,” Tim drew out, mock thoughtful. “Whatever shall I do with the information of Superboy’s identity? I could get a lot off of it, you know.”

    “You tell anyone my identity and I’ll give the press the pictures I have of you.” Kon replied.

    Tim paused, his body going taut. Something dark filled his eyes and he took another step closer to Kon, their chests pressed together. “That’s hot,” he said, “Who knew you were such a freak?”

    “You did the same thing, didn't you?” Kon breathed.

    Or: Conner has been stalking Tim Drake, an amazing guy he's in love with. Tim has been stalking Conner Luthor, a great guy he's going to make his. Who knew they were both superheroes?

    Summary

    “If you train me, I’ll work hard and help you keep Gotham safe in Robin’s memory. You don’t need to parent me or anything, you don’t even need to know my name. Batman can have a partner again, guilt free with no strings attached.”

    Bruce, lost in his grief over his second son, agrees to take on a third, temporary Robin to help him recover. He was supposed to keep his distance, he wasn't supposed to know or care about this nameless boy. But these children had a way of surprising him.

    28 Jul 2023

    Tags
    Summary

    Tim always gave them names. He never told anyone that he named them all. He never mentioned how he would spend all night awake in his bed when the large letters of "ATTEMPT UNSUCCESSFUL” appeared on the screen.

    It wasn’t like Tim could just leave and go outside. Tim was only allowed to go to the lab with the white walls and green tubes.

    Tim just wanted a friend to talk to. He was so tired of being alone.

    [Tim gets sold to Lex Luthor by his parents where he then works at Cadmus to create clones]

    Emergency Contact by

    Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics)  

    24 Apr 2024

    Tags
    Summary

    When Tim first listed Bruce Wayne as his emergency contact for school, he didn't give it too much thought. It seemed only logical to put down his neighbor, in case his parents didn't pick up, right?

    Then again, it wasn't like they were going to call Bruce. That stuff only happened in movies. The chances of Tim getting hurt were as low as Robin becoming the next anti-hero.

    And then he gets into an accident.

    Summary

    After a run-in with some hi-tech goons, Tim wakes up in a universe where Bruce enjoys his company. Where Jason never died, where Dick never gave Robin to a murderous Demon Brat who, it seemed, wasn’t even around.

    He goes to sleep, happy.

    And wakes up back in his original world, where he feels like a ghost among the living, forgotten and cold and alone.

     

    The one where Tim switches between worlds whenever he falls asleep.

    Summary

    “Hello! Good afternoon! My name’s Tim Drake and I’m a Cub Scout from the Lions Den of Gotham!” the boy chirped happily as he gave Bruce the equivalent of a military salute. A dramatic gust of air wafted through, making his neckerchief wave proudly.

    Lions Den of Gotham it read, Gotham’s bravest Den.

    Summary


    “You’re okay,” Bernard is whispering, his voice low and husky, and his eyes flit over the stage, looking for danger, for the way out. “It’s okay,”

    Fuck. Tim doesn’t need saving, but Bernard is shoved up against him, draped over him protectively, and the tightly coiled anxiety that lives rent free in Tim’s chest is starting to unroll and relax, purring under the weight of hehe big strong muscles protecting me. Fuck. Steph is never gonna let him live this down.

    ---

    Tim almost gets shot during a public speech, which is a pretty average Tuesday. Being rescued by his civilian boyfriend, however, is not.

    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

    "That was a blatant lie.

    Dana had seen a handful of Tim’s landscape shots a few weeks ago. Jack might’ve spotted the ones she’d pinned to the fridge. Bruce saw plenty, if crime scene photos counted.

    But Tim’s favorites? His civilian-friendly favorites, the ones behind him? This was the first time anyone beside himself had seen them.

    And Jack wasn’t there."

    Or

    Tim's alone at another school event, Bernard helps.
