Summary
Tim Drake used to love photography. He used to be pretty damn good at it, too.
He doesn't do it so much anymore.
And he isn't sure why that seems to bother Damian so much.

Summary
"Jason had been pretty catatonic after he emerged from the ground and Tim helped him, only nodding and pretty much letting Tim make all the calls though Tim was pretty unnerved at being in charge but to be honest, Tim would also only nod or shake his head if he had remained voiceless after screaming for anyone to help him or dig him out of his grave."
On Tim Drake's visit to Jason's grave, he finds something. Tim finds Jason first after he comes back to life AU.

Summary
Tim Drake is good at surviving.
He knows how to keep his head down, how to read a room, how to make himself useful enough to be tolerated. Between school, a café job, and a home that never quite feels like one, Tim doesn’t expect much more than that.
Babysitting Damian Wayne was supposed to be simple. Temporary. A paycheck.
Instead, Tim finds himself pulled into a family that notices too much, bruises that linger, smiles that don’t reach his eyes, silences that say more than words ever could.
The Batfamily sees one of their own.
And Tim?
Tim is learning what it feels like when someone stays. -

Summary
"So, here's how it's gonna go. You're gonna pay for two tickets so I can take you all the way home and tucked in like good rich kids should be. Then you're gonna give me the money for a ticket back here, and maybe some more for a sandwich as payment for this good deed."
"Don't people usually do a good deed, like, because it's good? Not for a reward."
"Most people got sandwiches. Most people don't wander around Gotham in the middle of the damn night."
OR
When a young Tim gets lost late at night in Gotham, an older boy finds him, saves his life - twice - and takes him home. And then just...doesn't leave.

Summary
“I’m going to ask you a question and I need you to tell the truth for me. Is that okay?” Nightwing asked softly.
Tim nodded.
“Have you heard of Alvin Draper before?”
Before he could stop himself Tim was taking in a sharp breath that sounded almost pained.
One of his men must have talked, he supposed that’s what you got when you hire anyone who’s interested, but it still hurt. Maybe he should create proper profiles on all of them once this is done so he can deduce who’s trustworthy and who isn’t.
“No,” Tim said, although he was aware how obviously it was a lie.
Or: Tim accidentally becomes a crime lord.

Summary
After getting hit by Scarecrow's latest toxin Tim realises that Gotham was slowly draining all his sanity. Knowing that if he stays longer he would truly lose his mind, Tim wonders if he should leave Gotham.
In true Two Face fashion, Tim flipped a coin.
Heads, Tim would stick around Gotham and nothing would change. Tails, Tim would leave Gotham and start over.
Meanwhile the Bats are trying to figure out a way to make up to Tim after all that had happened.
—---------------------------------
“Are you sure about this?”
“I can’t do this anymore, Tam.” Tim admitted.
“Can you at least tell me where you’re going?”
“No.”
“Damn Tim.” Tam cursed, “I mean, good for you, get some well deserved rest. When are you coming back?”
Tim avoided Tam’s gaze.
“You are coming back, right?”
“There is no plan for that for now.” Tim admitted.

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. -

Summary
Jason wasn’t coming back from the dead. Dick wasn’t going to leave Bludhaven. Tim was never going to be Robin, and Bruce was only getting worse. It was only a matter of time before his grief and anger destroyed Batman’s symbol and Robin’s legacy.
Tim took a shaky breath as he keyed into his laptop one-handed. The schematics and bare-bones of a plan were already started. He just needed to fine-tune it.
He had to kill the Joker.

Summary
He misses the Bats sometimes. He does. And it’s still true that Tim would do anything to save one of them; he proved that when he was the only one who’d believed in Bruce. But they don’t miss him, and he’s learned to be okay with that, despite the sickly betrayal always itching under his skin.
It doesn’t matter, though. Tim doesn’t care. He doesn’t. He’s just waiting for his borrowed time to run out.
But tonight… Tonight might not be borrowed time. Because Tim's on the clock, and he has to save his friend.

Summary
Jason would love to hide in his room and analyze the musical "Epic" with Dick for hours on end, forgetting all about everyone who thinks he's street trash. Especially Tim Drake.
Tim just wants his hero to not hate him.
In which misunderstandings abound, friends are made, and secrets can only be buried for so long.

Summary
Hood shifts his stance, barely but enough that the gun holstered on his thigh is shadowed by the edge of his jacket. "Oh no," and even through the voice modulator, Tim can make out the deepness of his tone. "I wanted to make you an offer, Stray."
"An offer?"
"Yes," Hood replies, arms spreading out at his sides and if Tim could see his face he would be sure the man was grinning. "To be my second-in-command."
---Or, how a young Tim Drake becomes Stray, falls in love, kills the Joker, and gets recruited by a crimelord that always manages to hit a little too close to home.

Summary
Jason couldn’t stop thinking about this stupid fucking alpha. It was one thing for him to obsess over him while he was planning to attack Drake to send Bruce a message, an entirely different thing for him to keep coming up with ways to recruit him to his side despite being rejected over and over again, the new Robin wanting nothing to do with him.

It’s not like he’s surprised a magic school exists— that’s probably only a seven on the scale of “crazy things Tim Drake has seen”. No, Tim’s just surprised he’s enrolled.
