    Summary

    Jason has always thought of Tim Drake as a spoiled, stuck-up rich boy who thinks he's too good for anyone else. The kid never talks to anyone, after all.

    In hindsight, he should've known that wasn't it.

    Summary

    Hello, Timothy

     

    You seemed to have spontaneously developed Metahuman powers from a previously dormant meta-gene. I know that those are some big words but it basically means that when you get really scared you turn into a statue. We don’t know if you’re awake while in this state because when your brain is stone it doesn’t make any noise that we can pick up on our machines.

     

    When you are able to, press the button. A doctor will come and explain more to you.

     

    --or--

    Tim drake is a metahuman with the power to turn to stone whenever he feels threatened or scared. and this causes issues, misunderstandings, crippling social anxiety, accidental brother acquisition and much much more (name inspired by Dr Who)

    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

    The holidays are Tim's most favorite time of year.

    He doesn't mean that like most people mean it, where they say "holidays," but they really only celebrate the one, and all the others are just happening at the same time. Tim celebrates ALL the holidays.

    He's usually very good at keeping the various family tradition stories straight, too. He's been Jewish; he's been Christian; he's been pagan; he's been Muslim. Sometimes all at the same time. But this year...well, this year the Waynes are suddenly getting involved, and Tim starts to realize how hard it is to keep stories straight and less-than-stellar upbringings hidden when people are actually listening to you.

    It's weird, Tim decides. And he's not sure he likes it.

    (A year in the life of Tim Drake, as told through the various holiday parties of the Gotham elite and the unexpected lessons on privilege, bias, and various -isms that come with 'em. And maybe a little bit of friendship and understanding along the way, since we all know this has to end with Tim joining the Batfam early, right?)

    Summary

    Tim's always known that his magic means he's more thing than person. He knows that a change in owners doesn't change this. Becoming the Ward of the Waynes is his second chance at proving himself useful. He knows he won't get another.

    Bruce is concerned, to say the least. Jason's just mad.

    Summary

    Tim twisted out of his assailant's loosened grip and saw - a kid, only a few years older than Tim himself, holding a tire iron in one hand and a backpack in the other. Tim’s backpack. He was thin, but more in a lean way than skin and bones, and he was glaring daggers at the man who had attacked Tim.

    The boy swung the tire iron in a circle and stalked closer to the man, who looked oddly intimidated. “Get out,” he said lowly.

    “I’m not little,” Tim protested automatically. The boy gave him a flat look. “Give me my bag.” He paused. “Please.”

    “You’re a shrimp.” The boy kept the backpack out of reach. “Give me your name.” There was no please, which Tim thought was rude, but he had saved Tim. Ish.

    “Tim. And you are?”

    The boy raised an eyebrow at him, clearly amused by Tim’s introduction. “Jason. And you still haven’t told me what the hell you’re doing here. You tryin’ to get mugged?”

     

    In which Jason leaves the Batmobile alone in favor of helping the kid getting mugged.

    Summary

    Tim probably should have worn a thicker coat, or gloves...Or a scarf at least. He probably shouldn't have even come out tonight. He knew both of these were most likely obvious, but, in his defense, he's ten. And hey, if Robin could run around in a couple inches of snow in less layers than him, he was fine. Someone had to keep an eye on Batman and Robin, and in Tim's case, a camera as well.

    Or, Tim is keeping an eye on Batman and Robin, and Robin is keeping an eye on a a boy that follows him across icy rooftops and beyond.

    This story is discontinued, thank you to those who continue to enjoy it! <3

    Summary

    @lieutenantobvious | so batman hates batgirl, huh

    @ohnoourtableitsbroken3 | omg why is this so embarrassing??? im embarrassed FOR her

    @sugarsweetbabiex | god i want batdaddy to shout at me too

    Babs sees a little face over her crossword puzzle and a pair of impossibly light blue eyes looking at her. She jolts, clutching her chest.

    “Hi,” Tim says obliviously, casually balancing his weight on her drawn-up knees with his soft gummy palms. “You look sad.”

    --
    15-year-old Babs has never needed validation from anyone, but... Batman's latest words to her have left her spiraling. It would be a good time for a mental health break, if not for the men trying to kidnap 5-year-old Timothy Drake while she's babysitting him.

    Summary

    When Tim first proposes his plan, Jason calls him batshit insane.

    "Why?" Tim asks stubbornly. “It’ll be a win-win situation – I get a new life without some guardian tying me down, and you get a new life where you can eat food every day and live in a big house. You’ll probably have to go to school, but that’s the only downside I can think of. That, and pretending to be me, of course."

    *

    In the wake of Jack and Janet Drake's untimely death, Bruce sets out to search for their missing son, determined to adopt him. After a long, arduous search, he finally brings home a new addition to his family.

    He fails to realise that the new kid living in Wayne Manor is not Tim Drake.

    Summary

    It feels amazing. The wind is blowing through Tim’s hair and he’s smiling so big that his cheeks hurt. Harder and harder he pedals down the sidewalk, picking up speed from the slight downward hill as he goes.

    He’s doing it — he’s actually riding a bike!

    Then, a little ways down, Tim notices another boy on the sidewalk, wobbling unsteadily on a bike of his own. He doesn’t look much bigger than Tim, but his bike is way taller, to the point that he’s sort of standing up on the pedals. He looks like he’s concentrating super hard on what he’s doing, the handlebars wobbling side to side as he tries to stay up.

    That’s about the point when Tim realizes he never learned how to stop.

    Or, in which seven-year-old Timothy Drake bumps into Bruce Wayne’s new foster kid. Literally.
