Summary
Tim, stuck on comms due to a broken leg, is attacked by a familiar cowled figure in the Batcave.
The problem? Bruce is still out on patrol.
An alternate Batman stranded far from home should be nothing more than a temporary complication. Instead, Tim finds himself growing close to a Bruce Wayne who has a Dick, a Jason, but no Tim.
And some doors, once opened, are hard to close.

The Best Laid Plans of Robins by Aleena_Pallaz
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Robin (Comics), Batman: Hush (2019), Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)
30 Jun 2025

Summary
Tim's dad is dead, killed by a boomerang to the chest, and Tim is an orphan now. He knows Bruce would adopt him if needed but he couldn't possibly impose himself on the Wayne's more than he already has. It's okay though, because he has a plan for this, he just needs someone to play the role of his estranged "Uncle Eddie".
Except... the guy he hires is weirdly concerned about his well being and Tim can't figure out why.
Meanwhile, Jason Todd is forced to reevaluate his plans for his debut as Red Hood, because, as it turns out, his replacement is a suicidal idiot who can't be trusted to stay out of trouble.
OR
Tim Drake fails to recognize Jason Todd, back from the dead, and hires him to be his Uncle Eddie to avoid getting adopted by Batman. Somehow this ruins everyone's plans.

Summary
A lot of people tell Tim that he looks just like his mother.
They share the same eye color and shape, often cold and calculating. The same sharp smiles and ghostly pale skin, and the same, lean body frames that could almost be described as delicate.
One last thing they have in common is an orange pill bottle.
The only difference is the name.
(Or how parents pass things on to their children.)

Summary
Tim's parents faked their deaths and fled the country years ago, but neglected to take him with them. He spent some time on the streets, and now at 16, he makes a living as a fortune teller, stalking and hustling the shit out of Gotham's elite by telling them eerily accurate fortunes based on the information he gathers about them.
His life is peculiar but he wouldn't change a thing. When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist. But it seems they just won't leave him alone..

Summary
Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.
Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.
He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.
"You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"
"She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.

Summary
He was in his room, in the manor, and it was messy, but not the mess it should be. Instead of broken glass from breaking the mirror in a fury, there were clothes strewn about the room. Instead of a bloody Red Robin suit on the bed from the last time he wore it two weeks ago, there were crumbled bed sheets and his laptop at the base. He couldn’t remember the last time he worked in this room on that thing.
So does that mean-?
He took a sharp intake of breath, suddenly doing a self-inventory. Bruce always taught them to check for injury when waking up in a strange and unusual place. Only this wasn’t a strange and unusual place, was it?Or
Tim lost everyone and everything, so in a desperate attempt to fix things he calls on an old friend to send him back in time to save his family. Only problem is there's a price, but he is willing to pay anything to get them back.

Dead Boy's Coffin by Wri7e_as_Rain

Summary
In Tim’s defense, he hadn’t meant for it to happen. Who knew patrolling alone was such a bad idea? Him. That’s who. But he would vehemently argue his actions were 100% justified and necessary considering the extenuating circumstances. However, that was before his little solo jaunt around Gotham had landed him… well… stuck. With the rest of the bats not in Gotham, it wasn’t like there was anyone around to get him unstuck either.
And he was running out of oxygen, dammit.Thankfully, (or in Tim’s case, ‘concerningly’), there happened to be a Crime Lord on the case who would be absolutely
notdelighted to rescue a little birdie from his cage.(As the tags can tell you, this is not as cracky and cheery as it sounds.)

I'll Stand By You by TaraLaurel

Summary
"I'm not going to ask you why you're out here, kid," Jason nods. "That's your business and you don't know me or Dick to trust us."
Not true. Tim trusts Jason Todd and Dick Grayson with his life. Just not with, the other stuff.
"But," Jason continues, "if you want to tell me what got you here, or you just want to talk about anything, you can, with me. Dick too. He's an annoying ray of sunshine that won't ever shut up most of the time, but he is actually a good listener. I'd know."
OR
When Tim's parents find out Tim's secret, they kick him out. Now, on Thanksgiving, Tim is living on the streets and is thankful for the two strangers currently saving him from getting his face pounded into the pavement. Wait...those aren't strangers...

Stay Tuned by TaraLaurel

Summary
A gun is set level with his head and oh boy, that's a new sensation. For a kid who spends his nights just barely adjacent to vigilante brawls and gunfire, this is the closest Tim has every actually been to a firearm. And it's pointing at his frightened face.
He didn't go down without a fight, he didn't. He swears. But he also doesn't want new holes in his limbs. He's letting the men roughly manhandle him out of the narrow aisle and through the warehouse when something smacks his skull. He has just enough time to think how rude it is to do that when he is already complying before the lights turn out and he's rushing to meet concrete, a soft cry of "Batman" on his lips.
OR
Someone notices the Batman superfan. That same someone wants to know exactly what Tim knows. Whatever it takes.

Summary
The wind whips around, rapid, and sharp with sand and grit.
Tim can’t see—there’s so much dust trapped between his eyelids that he can hardly tell if they’re even closed or not. It burns and stings, it fills his lungs, and all he can think about is his body, buried under a new dune of sand, and his family, so many miles away, not even thinking to look for him there.And just as suddenly, the sun and sand and howling winds are gone.
-----
In which the universe takes pity on Tim, just once, if it even was the universe at all.

Summary
He sniffled and cleared his throat. “That’s why you guys shouldn’t ask me shit when I’m not paying attention. Doesn't bode well for anyone.” He tried for a joke, the wet laugh didn’t do much to quell the heavy atmosphere.
Tim pretended to turn back to the case, hoping time would turn back with him. He looked at the words on the screen, not really seeing them.
He heard movement on the couch behind him, based on the heavy step he figured it was Jason. Preparing to storm off, if he had to guess.
Or, the one in which Dick asks Tim who his favorite Robin was in the company of all five of them. His answer is one they didn’t expect and one Tim didn’t want to say, but alas when they catch him off guard the truth inevitably comes out.
Or OR, the one where Tim is getting emotional over Jaybin and how he made magic real. Then they sit together quietly about it.

Summary
When they accidentally cause trouble for the wrong mob boss, Jack and Janet Drake come up with a completely flawless plan: return to Gotham to retrieve their son, fake the deaths of their entire family, then flee to Belgium. Tim can see a number of issues with this, mainly that (1) it's the stupidest thing he's ever heard, (2) his parents are definitely lying to him about something, and (3) Belgium. With all to play for, it's now up to Tim to create a believable narrative and avoid getting caught by any means necessary - even if that means traumatising the odd vigilante or two. He's willing to do whatever it takes to protect his family.
(But... which family?)
