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.

Wayne Family (And Tim!) Christmas Extravaganza! by PinkParagram

Summary
Bruce’s brain takes a moment to reboot. “Your parents are in South America?”
“Yes.”
He’s not sure why he’s so surprised – the Drakes are known for their work in archeology, and not much of that can be done locally. Still, he assumed that they took Timothy with them when they left the country for work. It seems a shame to leave him with a nanny this close to Christmas.
“Okay,” he says, erasing the numbers typed into his phone. “What’s your nanny’s number, then?”
“My what?” Timothy looks scandalized.
“Your babysitter? Whoever is in charge of you while your parents are gone,” he clarifies.
“I’m in charge of me when my parents are gone,” Timothy says proudly, his little chest puffing out. “I’m the Man of the House.”
AKA
Tim gets to spend Christmas with the Waynes! This will not have lasting consequences, I'm sure.

Enter the Drake by Jacey (OncillaBrigade)
Fandom Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics), Teen Titans (Animated Series)
19 Mar 2025
Summary
The very beginning of the 73 Votes AU timeline! It's June, 2016, and nine-year-old Tim Drake has just figured out who Batman is. He proceeds to be totally normal about it. Totally. Normal. If his Social Skills teacher happens to ask, please tell her how normal he's being! It might help him pass the current unit on the first try.
There are three works in the series:
Discovery - Tim learns who the Bats are and we get a window into the Drake and Wayne families in that moment
Hero Journeys - Tim accidentally stalks his heroes and learns a lot of interesting things; meanwhile the Drake household continues to be a garbage fire
Homecoming - Tim painfully stumbles his way into a family who really wants him, weirdness and all- Words:
