Summary
Apparently, Mr. Oz decided psychologically torturing a 15 year-old for six months was no longer "cool." And now Tim's paying the price for that, because instead of killing him like any good, self-respecting villain would, he's dropped him back on Earth with an apology and a snack.
Or,
It's been six months for Tim. It's been 10 years for Tim's family.
I'm sure it will all be fine.

No (Contingencies) by natcat5

Summary
“Of course you have contingencies for me,” Tim says, in a tone that suggests Bruce even pretending otherwise is both annoying and an insult to Tim's intelligence. “You have contingencies for everyone.”
“Not everyone,” Bruce says. “Not you.”
Bruce keeps his breathing even and measured, doesn’t betray for a second the relief he feels when Tim believes him. When Tim doesn't find the uglier, unsaid truth beneath Bruce’s carefully considered words.
The lack of contingencies for Red Robin does not mean that Batman trusts him infallibly.
The lack of contingencies for Red Robin means that a compromised Tim Drake is one of the things Bruce fears most.-

Summary
Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.
Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)
And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.
Sort of.

Summary
Tim doesn't really want to have a therapy session with his own subconscious. Especially since his subconscious seems a little...off. Still, he doesn't regret the choices that led him here. He doesn't regret the role he had to play.
But Tim doesn't know that there's a timer ticking down over his head. A timer that Bruce and his brothers are trying desperately to beat.

Summary
And something exhausted and brittle in Tim just snaps. “Full disclosure: I don’t care what you think.” A thrill of fear shoots down his spine as he spits those words, but he pushes it down and steps forward, glaring. His heartbeat thunders in his ears. “Look, I’m here to make a deal and I am willing to pay. I want - ”
Between one blink and the next, a searingly hot palm presses against his chest. The demon is suddenly much, much closer. Her stare bores into him as she says, in perfect tandem with his own voice, “ - Jason Todd back from the dead."
-
Or, alternatively: Tim makes a deal.

Summary
“Well, if you’re alive, you’ll have no problem setting the table,” Janet says, and glances impatiently at the wood he’d cracked his head on when he’d fallen down the stairs. “Blood in the wood, Timothy. It’s as if you don’t understand the value at all.”
“I’ll pick a better place to die next time,” Tim says dryly.
“See that you do,” she says, and sweeps off to call someone about the wood, presumably. It’s not too late to fix that situation, after all.
[Tim’s immortal. Somehow, he ends up using it to bring the second Robin back home.]
