Summary
Gotham is cold and polluted. The streets are ridden with crime. The streetlamps are old sodium-vapor, untouched since 1933. The weather here never changes, but some things never do. Tim looks out of the WE office’s highrise into the recently demolished plot of Drake Industries.
Of course, sometimes, things must change.
“—Breaking news, only a week after its acquisition, the recently recovered Avidità, lent to Gotham Museum of Art by Wayne Enterprises CEO, Timothy Drake-Wayne, has been stolen.”Or: The art of survival is its own betting game. Money is always the issue, but once money is secure, the only thing left to worry about is hate. United by will and divided by class, united by the product, but divided by production—the Wayne’s hate each other more than most.
With the deceased Drake’s personal business rearing its head, Timothy Drake-Wayne considers if compassion is a muscle or a talent, as the Bats debate whether their vigilantism is ethical. Tim discovers that the stakes of the Drake estate mystery are much higher than expected, wondering if he’s willing to risk all he’s built for the legacy of two dead people.
Premise inspired by How to Steal a Million. Slow updates and constant revisions.Bookmarked by TheFluffyBee765

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.
