Summary
Tim Drake is eleven years old when he’s grabbed off the streets of Bristol while he’s on his way home. It will be okay, he tells himself: they’ll call his parents, and they’ll pay the ransom, and he’ll get to go home.
There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.
They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.

or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.General warnings tagged, anything not covered by those is in end-of-chapter notes to avoid spoilers.

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.
Now there’s a podfic! Be sure to check it out!

Summary
It’s been three months since Bruce accepted Tim as Robin, and every night Bruce still patrols alone while Tim microwaves frozen lasagna and finishes his algebra II homework. But Tim is tired of waiting to be ready, and takes up the totally safe, totally sane hobby of midnight streetfighting.
The new vigilante in Gotham takes notice.
Title taken from “To an Athlete Dying Young” by A.E. Housman.

Summary
Tim Drake wants to live his life in peace. Well, whatever peace means for a disabled teen moonlighting as an info broker for Batman. He just doesn't want the Wayne family to barge in his life, he's been handling everything just fine. While saving lives with his rightly timed info and helpful tips he's managed to make himself a secret identity so tightly wrapped that even Batman hasn't managed to find him for the last 5 years.
All that goes away when the Wayne kids barge into his lives and maybe he's too weak to say no to the cutest, most serious 4 year old and also his biological brother, Damian Wayne.Series

Summary
As someone once said, the only things that are certain in life are Death and Taxes. Tim was too young to pay taxes, and should have been too young to worry about death. Unfortunately, life had other plans.
Tim was eight the first time he met Death. (Well, technically he was six, but he never counted that night at the circus, since he wasn’t the one who died. Not yet, anyways.) He was eight the first time he died, twelve when he became Gotham’s chosen Robin, thirteen when he made the best friends of his existence, and sixteen when he was finally adopted.
And somewhere in there, things started to go… a little sideways.
