But of course, Tim gets kidnapped from preschool.

Summary
Jack Drake used Drake Industries to hide his white-collar crimes. Janet Drake used her socialite status to hide her participation in a group of assassins.
Really, they should have expected Tim Drake to reject the idea of being a normal child.
AKA
The Drakes, while criminals, do try really hard to be good parents and raise a normal child. Tim, who tries to be a normal kid, also really wants to be just like his parents.

Flying Falling by BirdsBatsandCatsohmy

Summary
Dick takes Tim to visit the Kent farm for the weekend to meet Kon and Jon.
--
Flying is so cool, the cold wind whipping against his face, his cape flapping behind him. Kon has Tim and Jon help steady using what Kon had explained as tactile telekinesis, occasionally letting Jon go so he can glide.
They fly over snow covered fields, with the odd spare forested area between. Tim wishes he’d brought his camera, the scenery was beautiful, and nothing like he’d see in Gotham.
“Where are we going?” Tim has to shout to be heard over the wind.
“There’s a really big field, it’s not too much farther, no one ever goes there, so me and Jon build a fort there if we get enough snow!” Kon explains. “We just got a snow storm, so we should have enough to build a really big one this year!”
“Yeah! Then we could have a snowball fight! Or make snowmen!” Jon adds excitedly, letting go of Kon’s hand a shakily flying for a bit, then grabbing Kon when he starts to fall. “We should have grabbed a hat!”

Hummingbird by EvenEyas

Summary
While hummingbirds can be devoted to their family, particularly their young, they are known to be both highly aggressive and anti-social. They are the only birds able to fly backwards and even upside down.
Tim's mission has never been the same as the rest of the Bats. He knows he doesn't fight for justice, or peace, or control, or proving something. He doesn't have Dick's goodwill or Damians need to prove something. He doesn't have Jason's connection or Oracle's duty. Hell, he doesn't even have Bruce's own mission in mind when he fights. He fights because he protects what is his, and he has dug his claws into this family. Except, maybe he's not theirs anymore, maybe he never was.
Or: Tim realizes he's lost everything he has never had, then gets sucked 20 years into the past by the creepy old guy and decides to pull everything together, including himelf.

Summary
Tim deserves to be punished. He needs to be. It’s the only way to fix him. His Mommy is smart, she’d know how to fix it. She’d know exactly how much to hurt him to make it all better.
So he does what she would do. He pulls himself away from the warmth of the blankets, hating the way the movement stings against his renewed rash. It never really goes away, with how prevalent this particular problem is. Nothing Tim does prevents the nightmares. Mrs. Mac had to put a plastic sheet on his bed to keep him from ruining the mattress.
He crawls over the border of pillows, barely keeping from toppling to the floor. He’d deserve it, if he fell, but that’s too loud. He can’t dare wake them. He already has a whole list of mistakes he ought to be disciplined for, he doesn’t need awakening them early to be added. Sometimes Daddy is gentler after a good night’s sleep. Maybe Mr. Wayne and his sons will be too.
—
When Tim goes to the neighbors house to ask for bandaids, he’s met with more love than he’s ever been granted in his entire life. He doesn’t know how to handle it.

Summary
“My biggest regret?” Memories flood him, of all his hard work wasted and ignored while others get praised. How Damian and Jason have killed and somehow Tim is the bad guy. How easily Dick throws him off and how Bruce praises Cass when she didn’t kill a man. Tim got told he couldn’t be trusted again. Some family.
He shoves the symbol at Bruce’s chest and watches as he stares at it, everyone stares at it. Eyes widen, apologies on the tip of tongues.
Tim shuts them down before the words can form.

Summary
“You can only be worth something if you’re useful. People forgive you if you help enough. But if you stop being useful—what’s left?”
Jason shut the book like it might shatter. His heart slammed against his ribs.
For years—years—he’d thought Tim Drake had slid into his role with ease. The perfect little replacement, the better Robin, the golden boy who stole his family and wore it like armor. Jason had hated him for it. Resented him. Told himself Tim had never struggled the way he had.

Northern Attitude (I Was Raised on Little Light) by theskeptileptic
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
09 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
It’s Friday and Tim’s taking part in his nightly and favorite hobby, bat and bird watching. He’s far enough to not be spotted, but close enough for them to hear his potential alarmed screams. It always reassures him to know they’re near enough to rescue him, faster than if they notice days later, or more. But they’re detectives, of course they’ll notice and save him quickly.
...Right ?Tim never became Robin. He never had the chance to.

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.”
