Summary
Tim awoke within a room that was stale aired, pitch black, and completely soundless. He was ill, and even if he HAD been able to move, the shackle around his ankle meant he would not be leaving anytime soon. As far as Dick knew, he was dead, and that put him at Jason's mercy. To make matters worse, the man was dead-set on him being his personal plaything, a pet of sorts...
*
At first, Tim wants nothing more than to get strong enough to make an escape. But after a while- once he's truly gotten to know the former Robin, he's not quite so sure he wants to leave anymore. Or if Jason could take it if he did.Of course that's when everything falls apart.
*
Tim's not sure how to be normal anymore. Maybe he never was. But he knows he's not the same person he was before the bunker- and he can't go back to being him either.Dick is overbearing, paranoid, smothering him... and he just-
He's never going to let anyone control him, keep him locked up, ever again... he refuses.
Everyone else will just have to deal.

Summary
“Because he isn’t a good man Tim. Bruce Wayne…Batman….whoever, is not a good person. He has always been that way. And if you go to him now and try to be his Robin, he will hurt you constantly. He will punish you for not being Jason Todd and he will abuse you. And it will go on for years.”
Tim stared up at his older self as if he had grown two heads. “What? No, he wouldn’t! He’s Batman and even if he’s a little crazy now, Batman doesn’t hurt kids!”
His older self looked at him sadly. “That’s a lie Tim,” he said quietly. “I’ve got the scars to prove it. He will hurt you and he will allow others to hurt you as well.”
OR, the night before little Tim Drake goes to Batman to convince him to take him on as Robin, he gets a visit from an older version of himself who tries to convince him to go a different route in life, one that just might make him happier than being Robin ever would.

Summary
When Ra's al Ghul pushed Tim Drake out of a window after he foiled his plots again, he did something and the vigilante disappeared. Six months later, and through a completely unrelated summoning to an alternate dimension's Sun God, Tim reappeared both five years older and part of the crew of the King of Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy.
Now stuck in his home dimension for a month until they can be sent back home, due to bullshit magic reasons, Tim has to face the Batfamily that he had left behind, reckon with a couple of old ghosts, and deal with Bruce Wayne's ever-increasing paranoia in the wake of his disappearance. Luckily, Tim is older, theoretically wiser, and knows that his crew has his back.
(And, in flashbacks, Tim grows into the pirate he is today: the Shadow of the King.)

It was Barbara who brought it up first. The Drake Kidnapping hadn’t pinged as high priority on Batman’s To Do List. That is until Bruce started looking into their son. For Tim’s part, he never wanted to be a hero. It seems like the universe has other ideas.

Summary
One of Gotham City’s iconic “Robins”, Tim Drake was transported to a strange medieval world with no memory of how he arrived. Mistaken for a rebel soldier by the Imperial Legion, he found himself facing execution in the town of Helgen. His life was ultimately spared not by mercy or justice, but by the cataclysmic appearance of a black dragon that razed the town of Helgen and left him with agonizing physical and psychological wounds.
As he struggles to survive in this new land of Skyrim, Tim's main goal is to find a way home. However, this mission is continually derailed by the needs of the locals, his own near crippling injuries, and the looming threat of the dragon he had the misfortune to survive.

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.

Summary
Tim cracked his eyes open, finding Jason holding a carrot in one hand and a cucumber in the other.
“What?” he mumbled, his voice heavy with sleep.
“I don’t know. The writer didn’t bother to write her thoughts, and now she doesn’t remember what was supposed to happen here.”
Tim frowned, disoriented, his stomach turning. Jason shook the vegetables with a wide grin.
“Which one do you want me to fuck you with?”
Tim shut his eyes again, turning his head away.
“I’m not doing that.”
Jason tugged at the soft skin of his arm.
“You don’t have many options. You’re just a character written by someone else’s words.”
“Huh?” Tim muttered, confusion thick in his tone.
“Stop asking questions. There are no answers.” Jason lifted both vegetables like props. “Let’s just play out some prompts.”
“Prompts?” Tim asked.
“That, my brother,” Jason pointed at him with the carrot, eyes gleaming, “is the funny part.”
He twirled the carrot between his fingers, lips pulling into a crooked smile.
“So, am I fucking you with this or not?”

Summary
After dying in the line of duty, Tim Drake wakes up in the past—thirteen years old, alive, and back in his childhood bedroom. Armed with the knowledge of everything to come, Tim chooses not to reveal himself to Bruce or the Batfamily. Instead, he disappears into the shadows of Gotham, becoming the nameless vigilante known only as Red. He works behind the scenes, subtly reshaping key events to give everyone a better future: saving Jason from death, bringing Cass home earlier, and protecting the Batfamily from the worst of what’s to come.
But time has a way of preserving tragedy.
When Duke Thomas loses his parents in a violent home invasion—different from the original timeline but just as devastating—Tim makes a drastic decision. At eighteen, he adopts Duke, becoming the guardian he wishes someone had been for him. Now legally responsible for a grieving teenager who barely speaks to him, and under public scrutiny for the shocking adoption, Tim must navigate media storms, Bats' suspicions, and the burden of rewriting the future—all without revealing who he really is.
He’s walked through Gotham’s shadows as a ghost long enough. But how long can a ghost keep his secrets before someone starts chasing them down?
