Summary
Fact 1: Genes may make one vulnerable to developing antisocial personality disorder (for example, sociopathy, psychopathy—commonly classified as ASPD)—and life situations, especially neglect and abuse, may trigger its development.
“ What. ”
“–he already knew our secret identities, managed to manipulate Alfred into convincing me to make him Robin–”
“Your paranoia is showing.”
“– of course I kept tabs on him.” Bruce shoved a phone in his face. “He’s in Paris.”Dick skimmed the article, eyes widening, “Tim Drake…socialite heir is leaving the country due to his– he’s TERMINALLY ILL!?!??”
“He’s not.”
“ What. ” Dick looked like he was on the verge of an aneurysm.

Summary
Ornithomancy is the practice of divining omens/messages from birds by their flight patterns, cries, and calls.
If someone asked Tim if he ever practiced the art of ornithomancy, he would flat out say, “Nah.” But he now realizes that reading the Batfamily’s mind was essentially the same thing.
He didn’t think that his power would get him into so much trouble, but he should’ve known better. He also didn’t think that they would ever find out about his ability, but as always, Tim was wrong.

Summary
The thing is, Tim wasn’t himself when he was looking for Bruce. In his grief, Tim was Red Robin, and Red Robin was built for solitude. Red Robin crossed lines that Tim Drake wouldn’t even tiptoe on. He was detached and gray and everything Tim had tried not to be as Robin. But now that Bruce is back, and Damian is Robin, and nobody really knows what he’s done- Red Robin is all he has left. And Red Robin was built for solitude.
There’s something wrong with Tim. The Tim Jason knew was poised, snarky, arrogant. A stubborn-as-shit asshole. And, of course, so loyal and committed to the Bat-legacy that Jason wasn’t really sure if the kid had any hobbies outside the suit. This new Tim, this Red Robin, is someone else entirely. Someone who’s one reckless crusade away from getting himself killed.
And Jason has a few things to say about dead Robins, Red or not.
Or: After Bruce returns from the time stream, Tim Drake keeps the mantle of Red Robin and throws himself into international cases to avoid going home. Jason runs into him, gets a bad feeling, and follows him to the ends of the earth (literally).

Summary
For a long time, Tim doesn’t know his parents are dead. Maybe that makes him a bad son, for not knowing. When he reads about death, or when he watches people die in movies, their loved ones always know. There’s a gasp of pained revelation, an instinctual loss.
Tim doesn’t feel that. He wouldn’t have noticed at all, except for that he likes to keep track of the things going on in the places where his parents visit. Sometimes, it means he can ask leading questions, on their mostly-weekly phone calls, and Janet will spiral off into some tangent about these people and their lack of work ethic, and she’ll talk for minutes on end before realizing she’s still on the phone, getting bored, and then ending the call. So he keeps an alert system on his phone, for news, so they have some topics in common to talk about. It’s only luck he sees the article before anyone else does.

Summary
Tim gets de-aged, and tells absolutely no one.
He also, in no particular order, gets therapy, does a lot of crime, channels his inner cyberbully, steals another Batmobile, moves to Metropolis (temporarily), causes an Arkham breakout, gets kidnapped, kidnaps someone else, and accidentally becomes a supervillain somewhere along the way.
Parental supervision is for losers.

Summary
“Boy!” Vernon’s voice snapped Harry out of his thoughts. He looked up to see his uncle glaring at him. “Are you even listening?”
“Yes, Uncle Vernon,” Harry muttered, quickly averting his eyes.
Vernon grunted, satisfied, and turned back to his meal. But Harry kept sneaking glances at Petunia, her silence speaking louder than any of Vernon’s rants ever could.
For the first time, Harry wondered if she was trapped too.
When the wards fail after an incident, Harry is cast out of the Dursleys and into the reluctant care of Professor Snape. Silent and spiraling, Harry discovers an unsettling power within him. With a growing Dark Lord, Malfoy under the same roof, and secrets simmering, healing might not be enough to save them.

Summary
The summer after Harry's fourth year has become the worst of his life.

After fleeing Privet Drive, he finds himself stuck in an isolated cottage with his most hated professor: Severus Snape.

Summary
Upon his arrival in Gotham, Jason knew he needed to take down a drug organisation silently killing people on the street. An apartment complex at the outskirts of Crime Alley was the perfect place to do so.
Except there's a strange boy from the room next door who likes to steal his doormat, leave stupid notes on his front door, and eat takeout on his couch uninvited. And is also possibly involved in criminal activity—what’s a rich kid doing alone in Crime Alley running from the drug ring’s henchmen, and how does he have personal contact with half of the Gotham rogues?
It’s all very annoying. Jason doesn’t care about the kid at all, nope, not one bit.
—
Or how Jason and Tim becoming neighbours again (and eventually roommates) somehow leads to them becoming brothers.

Summary
“You were supposed to help me,” Tim says. The accusation is more resigned than angry.
What did he think Bruce would do? Honestly? Adopt him on the spot?
“This is help,” Bruce says, worming a nail under Tim’s fingers, peeling them away one by one. He backs away from Tim, glancing between the officers, and leaves, ignoring the betrayal Tim is aiming at him.

AKA:
Tim's parents died on March 17th.
On May 3rd, Tim shows up on Bruce Wayne's doorstep begging for help.
It doesn't come for years.

Summary
“If I had the money Bruce Wayne did, I’d be halfway out of Gotham and buying a house in the Bahamas.”
“I’m pretty sure he already has one.” Tim answered back, “A few actually.”
“Point taken.” She leaned against the back, “I’m just saying. Idolizing rich people, protecting them. It’s pointless when you are closer to living in Crime Alley than Bruce Wayne ever will be, take a close look at yourself.”

Ten year old Tim ends up getting adopted by 15 year old Jason who never tried stealing the tires off the batmobile. It's very different this time around. For everyone.

Tim Drake, totally the most chill guy you’ll ever meet by CoffeeTrees

Summary
Now, Tim would normally say he’s a pretty chill guy. In fact, he believes himself to be the least chaotic of the Bats (Excluding Cass. Any chaos that happened around her was simply not her fault, no exceptions). They certainly were not the first people that came to mind when Tim thought about relaxing in any capacity. Don't even get him started on Bruce.
Or: Tim Drake is an entirely feral gremlin and refuses to acknowledge this fact

Summary
“You will do more than just survive, Timothy Drake.” Z stated, “I will make you something, something better.”
“I don’t need to survive” Tim argued hollowly, “I need to find him and I don’t know how.”
“Then we will help,” Z stared at him, dark skin gleaming under the torch-light, “and we will do whatever it takes to do so. That is our order.”
“You’re ours,” Pru agreed, “at least, for now.”
Owens grinned, “Welcome to the League of Assassins, Tim.”
Death is something no one can escape, especially Tim, who was born with the ability to see the dead. Now, he’s on a mission to find his foster father, Bruce Wayne, who’s assumed dead. But death never strays far and Ra’s Al Ghul is nipping at his heels.

OR
Jason just spilled the blood of the kid he helped raise. How is he going to clean this up?
