    Summary

    Tim Drake was always the smart one, the one who found another way. But when the Joker forced him into an impossible choice—kill or be killed—everything shattered. He pulled the trigger, and from that moment, he was never the same.

    Tim tried to keep going, to find his place, but Gotham had other plans. With no Bat symbol to protect him, he was easy prey. He fought back—harder, meaner, and with less hesitation each time. The whispers started. He wasn’t Red Robin anymore. He wasn’t a hero. He was something else.

    Tim Drake disappeared that night. He became a shadow in Gotham, a ghost whispered about in terrified voices.

    Summary

    By fourteen years old, Tim had grown used to waking up alone in a hospital bed.

    But waking up to the Batman, in all his brooding glory, looming over his bedside? That was entirely new.

    A very sick Tim Drake is stuck alone in the hospital, feverish and barely lucid. Though policy dictates only family can visit, there's an abundance of vigilante's more than willing to slip in through the window.

    Summary

    “He broke my camera!” Tim wails, incensed. “Not a crack, not a dent; it’s nothing but a pile of glass because he broke it!

    “And his ankle,” Robin adds.

    And my ankle!

    “...I accidentally hit him with my car,” Batman reluctantly offers when Dr. Thompkins raises her eyebrow at him, causing her to choke on her next breath.

    (Or: One evening while birdwatching, a ten year old Tim Drake gets run over by the Batmobile.)

    Summary

    Tim knows, he just knows, that Jason is about to ruin everything. Jason is going to tell Bruce about his parents, and Bruce is going to misunderstand, and then he’ll call CPS, and Tim is going to be trapped in a group home and nobody is going to adopt him because nobody wants to adopt a fifteen-year-old, and he’s going to get into drugs and die under a bridge before he’s eighteen, and it’s all because of one stupid broken arm.
