Vulpine Vignettes (Tim Drake is a Fox) by Crow_Aeris
Fandom Batman - All Media Types, Superman - All Media Types
07 Oct 2024
Summary
If asked about him, the few people who have interacted with him will say, “Timothy Drake? Why, he’s such a polite little child! Timothy’s a darling, his father’s a Hunter, hear? Jack’s one of the world’s finest, and don’t forget about Janet either. She’s the best tracker money will find you. I’m sure the kid will grow up just like them. Timothy is a Drake through and through.”
His father would place his hands on Tim’s shoulders, nudging him forward with a broad, charming grin. His mother would smile too, sharp and cold and cunning.
If asked about him, people would not doubt that he’s a human. Timothy acts like a human, smells like a human, and has a Hunter for a father! Why would Timothy Jackson Drake be anything other than human?
=====
Tim Drake is a bastardized lovechild between the Huli Jing, Kitsune, and Fae myths- THAT’S what this series is about.
Urban fantasy AU where i rewrite canon, basically :3

Yes, I wrote seven fics for Batfam Reverse Big Bang 2023, what of it? by Cornflower_Blue, RaaorQtpbpdy, TaraLaurel

Summary
The seven unrelated fics that I wrote (or in two cases co-wrote) for the 2023 Batfam Reverse Big Bang. Each of them is independent from the others, so they can be read in any order.
[Yes, I know there are eight works in this series, one of the fics has two different versions that were posted separately but contain the same text.]

Summary
In the nineth year of the Trojan War, Odysseus stumbles upon a little boy in the forests of Troy. With Achilles refusing to fight and the Achaeans at a distinct disadvantage, he doesn't have the time or energy to deal with bringing a Trojan child back to camp and the uproar that will likely follow it.
It really is too bad that Odysseus is nothing if not a victim to his fate-- and to the tear-filled eyes of a boy not much younger than his son.
or: my take on an astyanax lives au with inspiration taken from the events of 'the horse and the infant' and the iliad (though, you don't need to have read it to understand what's happening).

Summary
Bruce paused for a moment, considering his words carefully. “I think you’re ready to start patrolling on your own. How would you feel about that?”
Tim tried to ignore the sinking feeling in his chest. Something was very wrong. “I dunno. Being Robin is pretty great.”
“Well… I was thinking of giving the title of Robin to Damian.”
Just like that, Tim’s fragile world came crashing down around him.
Or: All Tim has ever wanted is to be a part of the Wayne Family. Instead, Tim is replaced as Robin. As he tries to navigate his difficult new life and earn back the affection of the Bats, he finds himself going toe to toe with the Riddler. With all of Gotham on the line, failure isn't an option, and Tim is determined to do it all on his own. Meanwhile, the Bats wish he would just come to them for help.

Northern Attitude (I Was Raised on Little Light) by theskeptileptic

Summary
It's not *Tim's* fault Batman slept with his mom sixteen years ago, or Tim's fault that Bruce Wayne regrets signing away his parental rights fifteen years ago, but Jack Drake sure thinks it is. Now Damian is bugging him about cows and family and Jason and Dick won't stop kidnapping him and Bruce is acting like court orders don't matter, like he doesn't have a huge bat-shaped secret to protect from literally the whole freaking world.
Why is Tim the only functioning adult in this situation?
This was supposed to be coated in angst, but it fell in the fluff bucket instead. (So, update, some people are saying this may not be as fluffy as I am advertising it. I plead the 5th.)

Trading Information (and adopting little brothers) by cryptidcookies23
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics)
21 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
The Drakes have never been kind. Life has not allowed Tim to be so either. But Tim knows the Waynes are kind. He’s seen them at galas and in the capes. He used to think Batman would come save him. By age twelve, Tim has been planning his escape for years. Batman is not coming to save him. When Jason dies, Tim uses the distractions of grief and the press to disappear. Tim Drake doesn’t exist. The Crow, information broker and potential Gotham cryptid, begins operating out of the Narrows. Ruthless and a little unhinged, with a soft spot for helping civilians, Crow makes good money. Enough to keep his network of informants paid and a nest to sleep in anyway. When Red Hood reaches out for information, almost three years after Tim's escape, Crow must oblige. Jason, upon seeing that the entity that scares the villains and crime lords of Gotham looks like a twelve year old kid, can feel his adoption sense tingling. Time to call in the reinforcements.

I'm Still Alive (when everyone who loves me has died) by shortandsnappy
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Summary
In the weeks since his parents' death, his take over as CEO of Drake Industries, and basically a complete upheaval of life as he knows it, Tim Drake has been doing everything he can to gain the approval of his company, the press, and the general public. Easy, right?
Except, apparently, there's something more sinister going on beneath DI's shiny veneer. And now Tim's fighting for his life literally, not just metaphorically. Good thing the Bats are there to protect him. But why are these people so interested in his life? Seriously, don't they have better things to do? So long as Tim makes it out alive and the Bats never find out he knows their secret, everything will be fine. Too bad nothing ever goes right for Tim.OR
Tim Drake is a super badass CEO/detective/genius, but even the most resourceful of 16-year-olds needs some help when a crime lord wants them dead.

Summary
Tim Drake never became Robin. Instead, he became a ghost with a trust fund, a bad habit, and no one who cared enough to stop him.
When Jason Todd finds him half-dead in an alleyway, the overdose is only half of the problem.
Saving someone's life is easy. Keeping them alive after, not so much.
OR:
A story about recovery and finding the people who care.

Summary
Tim has... brain roommates. Annoying little shits who don't pay rent but make him do things like—god forbid—work at WE! When he could be a trust fund baby?!!
Okay, Tim has OSDD. He's the host of a system.
Usually in denial about said system, but still. This is... his life, he supposes.
(Meanwhile, Helena want to live her life, too, Ali is three seconds away from murdering a board member, Carrie is in her room pretending she doesn't exist, and Tiffany may have just crashed her third motorcycle this week to spite RR. Yeah, things are going great.)
OR
The sys!Tim fic that no one asked for but I spent two years writing anyway. Written as vignettes of the everyday activities of various alters (Tim as the primary POV)

Summary
Beady, pale blue eyes stare back at him from the puddle. Small, round ears sit on top of his head and his face ends at a small, pointed snoot with a brown nose with tiny whiskers sticking out to the sides. Tim experimentally opens his mouth and inspects the sharp, needle-like teeth inside.
Tim hates magic. Only magic could leave him stranded in a random alley in Gotham as a Mink of all things.

Summary
Tim was pinned to the passenger seat. He had faced down everything from Joker to an angry Superman, and his life had never flashed through his eyes like it did now: wondering if he could reach the emergency break while Jason Todd was at the wheel of a 2005 sedan.
Damien was in the back seat with one hand to the safety bar.
--
Jason, Damien, and Tim wind up in a car chase. Shenanigans occur.

Smother me with affection (for my life has been too dark) by ATHENIANbookworm21

Summary
Soon, almost all of the assassins are subdued, except for one. A tiny shadow of lethal grace. Steel blue eyes stared up at him from underneath a dark hood.
Bruce paused.
That. Is. A. Whole. Child.
He couldn’t be older than 10, eyes sharp and cold, moving with the grace of a seasoned assassin. The child assassin moved into a defensive stance, his weight perfectly distributed, bo staff snapping out. He was calm, there was no tension, no panic at facing off three men way older and heavier than him.
Protect. His instincts scream. protectprotectPROTECT.
