    Summary

    Your world is gone. Your life is forfeit. Those are two things I cannot change, the voice warned him gently. I can give you another version of your family. But I must tell you, this world and the people you will see won't be the same. A silent death may be better than this fate.

    Once, Tim had dreamt of silent death. Once, Tim had yearned for unearned peace.

    Tim didn’t speak, and still the voice sighed. I see. I will choose a good world for you. You will fall in love with it. It will break your heart. It spoke with certainty that rang with great weight. Do you still want it?

    Tim thought of family. Of loneliness. Of all that lay in between.

    Forcibly, painfully, Tim parted his lips. Breath rattled free, and he croaked out, “Yes.”

    Oh, child, it mourned, and then a hand pressed against his chest and a scream ripped free from his body. Like the howling of a beast.

    ***

    Tim's family, planet, and universe are destroyed in a matter of years. He dies, too, in the end, but is given a second chance at existence in a different world. A world where Damian is the first Robin and everything is backwards.

    He takes it.

    Summary

    Wayne Manor has stood almost as long as Gotham itself. From the outside, it looks like a haunted house: all dark stone and shadows with lives of their own.
    Every so often, someone “has to ask” about the rumors that the building is haunted. A nosy reporter. A drunken socialite. A paranormal YouTuber.
    Outwardly, Bruce Wayne laughs them off, dismissing the idea out of hand. It's not his secret to tell.
    The reality is that Wayne Manor is much warmer and more welcoming to those who reside there than it is to outsiders. Laughter echoes through the halls. Little faces peer out of the windows, waiting to welcome him home.
    That's not to say there are no ghosts.
    But they don't haunt the Manor.
    They make it a home.

    ***

    Bruce somehow finds himself parenting some very traumatized ghost kids. And an equally traumatized living child. Sometimes family is a billionaire, a butler/dad, a gaggle of ghost children, a toddler assassin, and a weird, drunk, magic uncle.

    Summary

    What if the Wayne's from Tim's world took Jason's death a little harder? What if they were too hardened by their grief to let him in and set him strictly as an employee, not their family?

    Tim Drake knows he's not part of the batfamily and any fleeting hope of that was crushed when Jason Todd, Tim's Robin, returned from the dead and reenforced what the Waynes had been telling him all these years. They might have warmed up to the boy, but he was not and would never be a part of the Wayne family.

    All this to say, when it's Tim's birthday, he goes out on a drug bust to catch a new player in Gotham. Alone. Which ultimately leads to said new player killing the freshly 15 year old. Tim did not expect to wake up. Especially not floating in the bedroom of 10 year old Jason Todd.

    Well, death didn't seem to be sticking anymore. Tim's in for a wild ride.

    Summary

    Tim, the ever vigilant (always awake and never giving himself a break) vigilante, gets word of a drug bust going down. One he just so happens to be the only one available to stop. Which happens to be taking place in the very early hours of his birthday. Of course he goes on the highly dangerous bust alone. What could happen?

     

    Or: Tim is used to being the Robin that gets thing handled, that doesn't need Batman to come rescue him. Bruce Wayne had made it very clear in the early days that Tim was not his son. Alfred Pennyworth was cold, allowing only the politeness and distance to show through his Iron Wall. Dick Grayson treated him the way he wished he'd treated his brother, Jason.

    Tim was fine with this. He wasn't a child. Even if he wished for more of the small slivers of love the Wayne family were just starting to give him, he wouldn't dare take Jason Todd's place. He just hoped the support he provided for the grieving family would make Jason proud. But Jason Todd came back, and he sure made it known he wasn't. He made sure Tim knew exactly what he thought of the cuckoo in his family.

    Now, the Wayne family has their lost son back and Tim has a job to do. Just, not in this dimension?
