Summary
Bernard Dowd's life is going pretty well. He's twenty-six, has a stable career, two incredible partners, and plenty of time for his hobbies. So, obviously, when things are going that good what better time is there to have a baby?
One heat and almost a week of mind-blowing sex later, he's excited to enter a brand new chapter of his life. All he has to do to survive nine months of pregnancy and all its related hurdles. Pretty straightforward, right?
Except... the baby is a kryptonian hybrid. Which, turns out, might complicates things.
Oh, and all of a sudden, his parents are trying to reconnect.
Also, did he mention that his partners are superheroes? And so are their entire families? No?
Okay, so maybe things aren't going to be as straightforward as he hoped.

A-01 (Worst Case Scenario) by LonelyLittleLizard, Norite

Summary
“Tell me about Thanos, then. Or what the hell Contingency A-01 is.”
“I don’t know,” Tim says again, with more fervor. “I don’t remember, alright? Last thing I remember, I was on patrol, and now you’re telling me I ended up in a different universe with half a note from my dad telling me about a contingency I swear to you I never heard of.”
Telling the truth betrays every instinct he has, but Tim is nerved out beyond all reasonable measures, and he just wants to find a way home.
Besides, he thinks, half-bitterly, it might be nice to have someone else in this lonely new universe, even if it's just for a little while.“I’ll make you a deal, okay?” He tries to bargain with the wizard. “I’ll help you with this Thanos guy, and you help me get back to my own universe.”
Or: Tim Drake ends up in the MCU with no memory of how he got there, and Stephen Strange and Tony Stark accidentally both adopt him.

Waking up in your 10 year old body is… jarring to say the least.

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
“Is Timberlina finally going to bed?” Jason asked from the doorway. Tim hadn’t even noticed he was there. “I don’t see why he wasn’t taken from the cave sooner.” Damian told him, “Honestly, he’s barely keeping himself upright.” Tim made a noise of protest because he was keeping himself upright just fine, thank you. Damian looked at him flatly, pointedly taking away the arm that Tim hadn’t even noticed was there, and causing Tim to fall back into the soft mattress. Jason snorted from the doorway, Tim scowled, but when that too was answered by Jason snorting, he guessed that he didn’t look as upset as he thought he did. “Not fair,” Tim told them, but it was slightly slurred because of his exhaustion, “you’re awake.” Damian adjusted him so that his head was on a pillow, bringing up a blanket to tuck under his chin, “Yes,” he answered flatly, “but we also took naps earlier today.” They so didn’t, Tim was being lied to, said lie, unfortunately, placated him enough to close his eyes. The hand running through his hair might have had something to do with it, too.

Summary
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Jon suddenly spits out—surprised at his own words and actions—briefly smacking Damian’s shoulder with enough force to have him angle towards Jon, but not near enough to actually hurt. Damian winced, anyways, and Jon regrets the action. The guilt is overruled by the intense emotions that make Jon’s stomach flip with anxiety and squeeze his heart.
Nightwing stares in shock. Batman looks shocked, staring in silence. Damian fully turns his head to glare at Jon, lips pulled back in a confused sneer at the sudden interruption.
—
Or, Jon’s already having a bad day when he has to go save Damian from a reckless decision. Already emotionally unstable, he leads with his heart, because Kon did say something about trusting his gut, anyway.

Summary
Fingers knotting tight in the back of his shirt collar, a brutal grip that doesn’t hesitate. The body attached leans into the wreck, shadow blotting out what little light trickles through. And then Tim’s being dragged, no—yanked out in one vicious pull.
The seatbelt resists for a single heartbeat, stretching to its limit before snapping with a violent crack. His body whips free, hauled out into the open air, and the sudden shift rips the last dregs of his balance away.
He retches before he even hits the pavement. Everything lurches up, acid burning his throat, stomach wrenching itself inside out. His knees buckle, body folding gracelessly, head spinning so hard he can barely keep track of which way is up.
Great. Perfect.

In this universe, she isn't as alone as she originally was.
In this universe, she does not leave Tim behind. He leaves her behind.

Summary

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

Summary
Jason’s breath hitched when he saw a familiar face politely laughing some fifteen feet away amidst a group of those same rich people who had been giving him dirty eyes some time ago. Jason could count on one hand the amount of times he had met Timothy Drake in person, but each one left him more disheartened than before.
Because his predecessor had been perfect. He wasn’t even exaggerating it. Bruce had once off-handedly spoken that Tim had been the best of them. Jason still remembered the way Damian had tensed, his face flashing a myriad of emotions before he quietly agreed in a one word response.
Jason wanted to impress Tim so, so badly. He wanted his predecessor to look at him with approval, because if Tim thought he was worthy then he could say he had made it. That he was truly doing Robin justice. Not that Bruce or Damian’s words didn’t mean anything. Of course they did. Their praise mattered too, but somehow, the lack of Tim’s praise just hurt a bit more.

or, the one in which Jason is stuck at a gala with one of his previous clients when an unexpected person saves him.

Summary
Robyn was normal once. She never did it again. Between her long distance friendship with Tim Drake and the magic she inherited from her Dad she never really stood a chance. She was doomed to become a vigilante right from the start. And at least some of the time, she would say she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Aka I went insane and spent a week writing out how I would write the Batfam with her (and some other OC’s) in it and ended up with an over 12,000 word (and 80 chapters) plan that’s not even finished yet. This is also after specifically saying I would never write Robyn’s original origin story because it would be too complicated to work out with all the other characters and then being like “well I could just do a one-shot of it” it’s now become this monstrosity. The old one-shot that I’ve deleted will eventually be incorporated into the story too but not until about 8 chapters in now.

Summary
Tim is running from a lot. His feelings, his memories, his family members and their awkward questions. But there is solace.
There is solace in Jason’s apartment, with a new, empathetic companion. There is solace in helping others, looking out for more kids like him who want to help others. Solace in his work, in tracking down villains and stopping them from hurting others.
If only Tim could know, before he learns the hard way, that you can’t run from your own mind forever.
