    Summary

    Tim’s eyes met Bruce’s.
    He smiled a soft sad smile.

    “Tim, don’t—”

     

     

    In one universe, Tim Drake is isolated, neglected, and drowning in loneliness.

    In another, Tim Drake is dead—a beloved son whose loss shattered the Bat-family, turning them colder and more dangerous.

    When these worlds collide, Tim is thrust into a reality where his family’s grief has made them unrecognizable. Overwhelmed and terrified, he runs—but this broken Bat-family won’t let him go. They’ll do whatever it takes to reclaim the boy they lost, even if they have to remake him.

    Summary

    Gotham needs Batman. Batman needs a Robin.

    And unfortunately, it looks like there's no Robin-shaped kids around except Tim.

    So, it will just have to be him.

    ----

    This is an AU fic where Tim Drake becomes Robin, and Bruce Wayne cannot figure out the identity of the kid behind the mask. There will be hijinks, there will be fluff, there will be angst.

    Summary

    “For the record, I totally didn’t send this,” Jason declares, resting his fists judgmentally on his hips and wrinkling the bridge of his nose as he takes in the envelope’s exterior details. “I wouldn’t embarrass myself by printing the address for Wayne Manor in Comic Sans. And I definitely wouldn’t use whatever fresh hell that return address is printed in.”

    Taking the bagged envelope in hand again, Bruce moves to the Batcomputer and pulls up the folder of fonts on the system. He glances between the envelope and the sample screen for the font he’d already suspected would be a match.

    But clocking the font name gives him a great deal of pause. “Jokerman,” he finally declares in a growl through clenched teeth.

    Tim, as it turns out, may not be Jack Drake’s son, but Bruce Wayne’s already got kids he picked out personally. That’s okay though, because Tim’s got a plan for how to deal with this revelation—it’s not like he needs acknowledgement from a second father that doesn’t want him, anyway.

    Summary

    Tim spent almost two years of his life trying to convince someone to help Batman. When nobody stepped up he shouldered the heavy burden. Now look where it's gotten him.

    When the Red Hood cornered Robin in the titan’s tower he did worse than just break his bones and spill his blood
    He destroyed half of Tim’s soul.
    And Tim doesn’t know if he will survive this torture, or if he even wants to.

    this is so angsty I'm sorry

    Summary

    Tim Drake always knew his time as a Bat was going to be short-lived. All the Wayne brothers had made it clear how unwelcome he was. And Tim had enough self-respect to leave where he wasn't wanted. Besides, if he stayed, he was eventually going to be killed by one of them. So after he completed his mission as Red Robin by rescuing Bruce from the time stream, he left Gotham behind.

    But when an old ally calls in a favor, he returns to the city he once called his home. While running into the Bats was necessary for mission success, being forced to spend time with his former teammates is not. And yet the more Tim does, the more he realizes they've changed. It seems as though they regretted their actions and want him back in the family.

    And now they have him back in their grasp, they won't let him go again - no matter what.
