Summary
"If Todd skipped out on too many family meals, Grayson would be marching over to one of his safe houses and dragging him to the manor. If Brown or Cain was gone on a mission for too long, the family would make time for them to relax and Pennyworth would make their favorite meals to entice them to dinner. If Damian was too far into his head and feeling frustrated they would give him enough space that he didn't feel coddled but also open that door for him and eventually force him out of his own head.
But Drake... He hadn't come to family dinner for three months now, Todd never made it to the two month mark. Drake hasn't come back to the manor after a mission for anything longer than a sitrep and debrief. (Of which Drake consistently lied about and avoided medical attention every night and not once did anyone call him on it). And Drake was always in his own head and no one seemed to bother to pull him out. No one coddled, no open doors, no forcing him to float, just... letting him drown."
---
Or Damian notices Tim is treated differently than the rest of the family and wants to know why and he's determined to bring him back through bonding. -

Summary
Inspired by Cards on the table by wesslan, I highly recommend checking it out!
Tim Drake’s parents “died” in a freak accident that killed their whole family. Coincidentally, they also committed Tax Fraud. When they left, Tim was let alone in Gotham. He spent some time on the streets, before deciding to get a legal identity. Oh also, he plays a lot of poker. And wins. And owns a casino.
The Bat family are concerned about a new casino that seems to be a perfect playground for a rouge. The owner is said to be terrifying but he looks like he’s 14?? What’s up with that??
oops.

Summary
Tim Drake is on his way home once day when he comes across some shady guys dressed in black. Before he can do anything he's knocked out and given the APTX from Detective Conan, reverting his age to a five year old. How will he hide from Batman and the Black organization while he figures out an antidote? And why does Red Hood keep stalking him?

Summary
Jason is having a hell of a time trying to find his Replacement. Sure, he’s got a name from Talia: Timothy Drake. And he’s looked up the kid’s school records: perfect everything. Perfect grades. Perfect attendance. His school photo shows perfectly slicked-back hair and not one wrinkle on his Gotham Academy jacket. Wow, Bruce really won the lottery with his newest child soldier.
Infuriating.
Jason tries to do a little hate-stalking, but that’s where things go a bit weird. Timothy Drake has his own fuckin’ mansion right next to Bruce’s, but when he swings by Drake Manor, it’s oddly empty and devoid of life. Weird. Jason tracks down a penthouse in the Diamond District, but it seems to be falsified records because there’s a whole different rich guy living there.
What the fuck. Where does the Replacement go when he’s not Robin?
---------
Jason is having a hard time finding Tim Drake, but he's been running into a kid by the name of Alvin Draper in the Alley.
In the meantime, Tim Drake totally has 5-step plan to get Jason and Bruce to reconcile! Nothing will go wrong. :P

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.

“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.

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.
