Summary
Timothy Drake threw himself at people, he knew that. It started with his parents, with him begging them to stay. The with Bruce and Alfred and Dick, working his hardest to stay useful. Then Steph and Cass and Jason and Damian and Babs.
No matter what he did he remained the stabiliser. The extra wheel on a tricycle you take off and throw away when it's outlived it's usefulness.
Life goes on for everyone else and Tim is left behind.

Summary
Current length: 28 hours 24 minutes.
Danny’s looking at him like he’s crazy. His hair’s dried up into a mess of waves, and there’s some tomato seeds on the corner of his mouth. “You just bailed me out of jail. And you think this is a good idea?”
“I don’t have bad ideas, Fenton. And like you’ve just said, I have collateral on you.”
“So you’re blackmailing me into pretending to date you?”
Tim shrugs. “Or you could just sign the NDA.”OR
Danny's trying to recover all the shards to an entity's chalice so that it'll stop destroying the zone while tensions rise amongst his subjects- and trying to finish high school.
Tim's juggling his case load, his work as CEO, and does not have time to be embroiled in a sex scandal right now. If that means he has to pretend to date a very suspicious heir to a rival company, then so be it.
It's a mutually beneficial relationship. So what if Tim's becoming a little too intrigued by the illusive, powerful Phantom? So what if Danny can't stand the Justice League for leaving him to deal with all of Amity's problems when he was just 14? That's a superhero thing.And their fake boyfriend has no clue that they're a superhero.

Summary
“I hereby declare the human race officially extinct.” Bruce stated, his voice leaving no room for objections. And inevitably, there would be objections. vampires were a stubborn species, clinging to old beliefs until enough evidence piled up that they couldn't possibly deny it. They had to be forced into seeing the truth, and that's something Bruce had realised a while back. He knew that they would not accept that humans were completely gone until it was undeniable
Still, now, in the eyes of the law, all humans were officially extinct, a call that should have been made years ago.
Chaos erupted.
OR: Vampires think all humans are extinct. Tim (a teenager) survives purely from dumb luck and his own survival skills. What will happen when human-loving, adoption-obsessed Bruce Wayne, an ancient Vampire who yearns for a new child, finds out?
OR OR: Tim is the last human alive, adoption ensues

Summary
“Are you okay?” Bruce asks, and Tim doesn’t know whether he means mentally or physically. The latter is easier to answer, so he goes with that.
“I’m fine, I think. My nose hurts, and I think my wrist might be slightly sprained, but I’m fine.”
Dick sighs. “Just go home, baby bird. We’ll be better off without you.”
Tim stops himself from flinching and holds back tears. He nods silently.
“Go home and rest, okay? Take a break.” Bruce doesn’t sound mad anymore, just tired. Tim nods again, not trusting his voice enough to speak. He turns and leaves the warehouse, walking out onto the moonlit streets of Gotham.
***
Or: Tim tries to kill himself, and Jason is the only person who can stop him.

Summary
There had never been one particular moment that Timothy Jackson Drake had decided to not tell anyone that he was dying.
It was just one of those things that you’re not meant to mention at any point. Things like if you take the last Poptart from Cass’ stash, or that you lost another bike to what Gotham claims to be water. Things like being helplessly in love with your best friend.
When Tim first realises that he has terminal Cancer, he had no intention of ever letting anyone know. His family have already lost too many people and his friends, well, his friends mean the world to him. Being Tim, he's made certain to tie up every loose thread with his caseload, WE responsibilities, he's even made sure that no one ever will ever realise that he'd been sick to begin with. It was better this way, for everyone.
For Bruce, for Alfred, for his Siblings, for... For Kon.

Summary
“We can try to move forward." Tim swallowed. "Or… we can move on.” He hated saying it, hated how rancid and barbed the idea of officially parting ways was on his tongue.
Hated how quickly Danny’s eyes were on him again, mouth open and ceiling forgotten.
“What?” Danny sat upright, both feet back on the ground. “You want to move on?”
“Wait,” Tim said quickly, hand out. “I just didn’t know if you—what you—“
“Tim.” Danny looked crushed. “You’re my person.”

Tim loved Danny. So, so much. But after an averted apocalypse put a strain on their relationship, he needed space to work on himself. After months of separation and countless therapy sessions, Tim finally built up enough courage to accept Danny's invitation, visiting him in Boston to see if they could try again.
This is a soft fic about reconnection and moving forward after a split. It's kinda sad, but does get happy! I promise!

Summary
“Timbo, doesn’t go there.”
Duke glanced over, finding Tim standing by one of the cabinets, a plate loose in his hand. After a moment, a long moment that made Duke a little worried if he was being honest, Tim was finally moving again. He went to the next cupboard over, putting the plate in it’s rightful place.
There was still a full stack of plates on the bench though, a stack that Tim could have easily put that final plate on to bring the whole lot over.
Whatever, Tim had found the stack and he was finally bringing it over so Duke refocused on making sure his pot was fully done. He turned it over, inspecting the bottom for bubbles and-
The ceramic exploded just as Duke’s heart did.

Summary
In a universe filled with platonic and romantic soulmates, it was not unusual to have soulmarks. Dick Grayson had plenty. However, when he was a teenager, he received a new soulmark: a bird with an injured, wrapped wing right on the palm of his hand. Over the next few years, he met new people, created new bonds, became Nightwing, and tried to live his life. Everything was going relatively okay, or as okay as it can be when you're a vigilante and the son of a billionaire, but he couldn't stop thinking of the unknown, unbonded bird whose mark he watched with great interest, pain, and longing.
Meanwhile, in Nanda Parbat, a young child by the name of Damian al Ghul, the prince of a cult and a trained assassin, was born with a sleeve of soulmarks. He never met them and had no plans to do so. Then finally after beating his mother in a duel, she agreed he would be allowed to meet his father. What he wasn't expecting was for her to ship him off and fully abandon him in Gotham.
---
Soulmate AU with Dick desperately trying to find his missing platonic soulmate while Damian tries to keep his soulmarks hidden for safety. -

Summary
Tim Drake knows Bruce Wayne isn’t dead. He can feel it in his bones. But no one believes him--not Dick, not Damian, not the city that already crowned its new Batman.
When a confrontation in the cave turns violent, Tim runs. Gotham turns its back, and the people he trusted the most are the ones who push him out. He leaves to find answers, chasing whispers across continents, slipping deeper into the shadows and into the hands of Ra’s al Ghul.
Back home, Dick Grayson wears the cowl like it’s a second skin. He tells himself Tim is gone and it’s better this way. But letting go was never something Dick was good at. Especially not when it comes to Tim. The distance only sharpens the hunger. The silence only feeds the need.
By the time Tim comes back, he's changed. He’s not the boy who begged. And Dick? He doesn’t want closure. He wants control. He wants Tim close, compliant, on his knees and his again. Whatever it takes.

Summary
Bruce kept his voice low, his heart rate also.
It wouldn’t do any good right now to rise to Dick’s level of agitation, not for Dick and certainly not for Tim. He needed to keep a cool head and he needed to ensure that Tim gets rest and if that required Dick leaving, then that was what Bruce was going to have to do.
“Walk away. We will address things in the morning.”
In truth, given the light streaming in through the window, it was probably far closer to noon than morning already but Bruce did not correct himself nor did he allow himself to step away from Tim, not while Dick was still practically vibrating with unfocused energy.
“I don’t want to fight, Son.”
“Son. Son? Are you fucking kidding me, B? You don’t look me in the eye for eight fucking months and all it takes is me making sure that Tim doesn’t get himself killed by his own stupid mistake and now all of a sudden I’m your son again? Because I was useful to you?”

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.
