Summary
Tim averts his eyes, fiddles with the sleeves of his hoodie. “Have you ever…noticed anything strange about me?”
The silence extends for far too long. Tim chances a glance back up, only to find Duke struggling to keep his face in check.
“Dude! I’m being serious here!”
Duke bursts into laughter. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Just—I mean—you’re a strange guy!”
“I know that! But I meant it like,” Tim gestures wildly around him, “in the energy, light sense. Is there anything unusual surrounding me?”
The question causes Duke’s laughter to die down. “Yeah, dude, you got that whole Chaos Cloud thing going on. I thought you knew that.”
Tim stills. “The what.”
___
Tim Drake begins to notice something strange, but the patterns keep shifting. In order to solve this strange mystery, he must reach out for help, face his suppressed emotions, and discover the power of his own Chaos!

Summary
The dark fire twists and rises, orienting on the Gotham walls. It seems to be aimed for a point right in front of the battlements where Bruce and Damian stand, defenseless while casting their own spell. The black flames blast forward, closing in on the closest thing to a family Tim has left.
Like hell.
Tim knows exactly what he needs to do. Just as the black, corrupt hellfire approaches the village walls, he drops into a dive, closing his wings tightly around his body to plummet faster. He’s got this—he’s so close—
As he falls, what sounds strangely like grief-stricken cries of denial in his father’s and brother’s voices reach his ears, but that’s not possible. He must be mistaken. As the burning, excruciating balefire surrounds him, burning the very tears from his eyes, Tim’s heart twists in painful satisfaction. Now the others will be able to save Gotham and defeat Ra’s.
I did it, Bruce. Even if you never really wanted me to be part of your family, I hope… I made you proud.

Summary
“Tim,” she says, hesitant in a way that she never is, not when it’s just the two of them, “About settling.”
Thirteen is hardly unreasonable to be unsettled, but rare given their night activities, and Tim’s been thinking hard about what Hestia will choose.
“I don’t think I want to settle,” she says quietly, interrupting his train of thought, “Maybe not ever.”
“Okay,” replies Tim, stroking a careful finger over her soft brown snout, “Not if you don’t want to.”

Summary
"Odysseus was clever, but his vanity and ego would have killed him long before his return home if not for his wife.”
“Penelope?” Tim asked.
“Exactly, child, Penelope," his nanny smiled. "The men of Ancient Greece would have you believe that she was idle, waiting for her husband to come home and solve her problems, but this is far from the truth. For routine and ritual are not powerless things. In pouring her love for her son and husband into her weaving, she called out to the goddesses Hestia and Hera. Despite never lifting a finger in violence herself, Penelope saved her family.”

Tim finds that there are more ways to protect the Bats than just Robin. A little magic never hurt anyone, after all.- Language:

Summary
Did Tim Drake have a secret?
Well, yes. He had plenty.
Oh.
You meant that one.
Yeah. That one’s a big secret, so don’t tell anyone.
Especially the Waynes.
Tim Drake had lived his whole life as a secret meta next door to Batman. He became Robin after Jason Todd died. He's kept his powers from the Wayne family for years.
Now Tim has stepped away from the family and is Red Robin. Soon, he'll leave the family forever. He doesn't belong with them anyway, he was just a placeholder.
A wrench was thrown in his genius plan when the Waynes found out he was a meta. This wasn't part of his plan! What will he do now?
Cleveland sounds pretty nice right about now.

Tim *needs* to be a witch.
But when Tim's mistakes begin to stack up, his big lie starts to come crumbling down, and his place in the family goes with it.

Summary
Tim Drake died when Robin cut his line. There was no flag pole or ledge to catch himself on. No backup grapple at the ready. Lucky for him, Gotham has never been one to give up her soldiers. Now an undead that is permanently bound to Gotham as her protector, Tim learns the importance of self-worth. And that maybe his "family" isn't what's best for him.
-or-
Tim heard Jason joking about being a zombie and said, "hold my beer." Featuring semi-sentient Gotham.

Summary
“He’s dead,” Tim said, blankly.
“Look at me.” Jason ducked his head to catch Tim’s eyes. “Hey, look at me. You didn’t kill him. You just shot him. No big deal, right? You’ve injured lots of people. Just part of the job. Doesn’t matter it was with a gun this time. Doesn’t change anything. I’m the one who killed him. You’re fine.”

With his Father out of town and his Mother at a friend's house until Father comes home, JJ sets a personal goal to get to the bottom of both disappearances in under a week.

Summary
The rain came down in thick, relentless sheets, drenching Tim to the bone long before he even reached the house. Wind howled through the trees, rattling the iron gate behind him, and each gust sent icy water running down the back of his neck. He could barely hear his own footsteps over the storm, but he didn’t need to—he knew where he was going.
Wayne Manor loomed ahead, dark against the night sky, its towering silhouette broken only by the faint glow of a few scattered lights in the windows. The massive oak doors stood at the top of the stone steps, intimidating and unmoving, just as they had always been.
He should have brought an umbrella. Anyone with half a brain would have.
____Tim Drake knows he’s not like Batman, or like the old Robins. He’s not supposed to be.
But someone has to save Gotham, and someone has to remember why.
Tim has always been good at carrying too much—this time, it might break him.Bookmarked by PaperHermits

Summary
“But, if you’re my biological father, then why-” Tim stopped walking and looked up at him with such a desolate expression that Bruce’s breath caught in his chest.
Bruce swallowed, hard, past the lump in his throat. “Tim, sweetheart, I-”
Tim cut him off with the side of his clenched fist pounding on Bruce’s chest. Not angry, or combative, but the sad and desperate hit of a child in turmoil.
“Why.” Tim started again, throwing another weak hit with his fist, tears beginning to well up in his eyes and breaking Bruce’s heart with every second. “Why, if you’re my biological father, am I. So. Short!”

“Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”
OR
In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...
