Summary
After dying in the line of duty, Tim Drake wakes up in the past—thirteen years old, alive, and back in his childhood bedroom. Armed with the knowledge of everything to come, Tim chooses not to reveal himself to Bruce or the Batfamily. Instead, he disappears into the shadows of Gotham, becoming the nameless vigilante known only as Red. He works behind the scenes, subtly reshaping key events to give everyone a better future: saving Jason from death, bringing Cass home earlier, and protecting the Batfamily from the worst of what’s to come.
But time has a way of preserving tragedy.
When Duke Thomas loses his parents in a violent home invasion—different from the original timeline but just as devastating—Tim makes a drastic decision. At eighteen, he adopts Duke, becoming the guardian he wishes someone had been for him. Now legally responsible for a grieving teenager who barely speaks to him, and under public scrutiny for the shocking adoption, Tim must navigate media storms, Bats' suspicions, and the burden of rewriting the future—all without revealing who he really is.
He’s walked through Gotham’s shadows as a ghost long enough. But how long can a ghost keep his secrets before someone starts chasing them down?

Summary
“It's not fair,” Stephanie grumbles, shoulders shaking in suppressed anger. Duke doesn't blame her, his own heart beating loud enough to deafen him.
“Children are expendable in this field,” Jason says into the tense silence, watching the two of them with a heavy expression, “It's dangerous, so they're great when they're young and naive. Then they get old. They get harder to control. Then they're useless.”
Duke frowns. For a moment there, he wasn't sure if Jason was talking about competitive racing, or something else entirely.
Judging from Jason's glare, he's not so sure either.
(Duke goes undercover at a Formula 4 training camp for a case and realises that life isn't so different on a race track.)

Summary
'It's just another tiny Arkham breakout,' they said. 'It's only Mr. Freeze and Firefly,' they said.
Well, clearly ‘ they’ (Steph and Damian that is) were full of shit, because now Duke was awake at 5am, freezing half to death because one half of Gotham was a frozen wasteland, while the other was bathed in flames.
Or: There's an Arkham breakout, and Duke suffers for it.

Summary
Duke would like to say that this is all Jason's fault.
And Damian lowkey deserved it for being such a Dick defender, but it's not his fault. He's still a kid, albeit a freaky one.
But, he thinks as Talia snakes an arm around his shoulders and pulls him in closer, maybe I should have given up this morning.
Still, never let it be said Duke Thomas does not commit to the bit.
Or
Duke calls Talia a MILF, and the planning behind it.

Summary
Basically Duke has a Tumblr, he learns Jason has a Tumblr, he proceeds to ruin Jason's entire time on Tumblr by bullying him, sibling stuff you know?
"To be fair to Duke, it was entirely unfair for him to be awake at three in the morning when he had the day shift.
Normally at this hour, he would be hunkered down in bed, blissfully unaware of the idiocy happening just a few floors below him. Maybe watching a random show from one of the seemingly hundreds of subscription services Bruce paid for. That is what he should be doing now. That is what he would like to be doing now"

Inspired by the amazing art of @ashoss on Tumblr who made art of this first chapter, and naturally I just had to make a fic about it… that took nearly 3 months to be finished but shhh I'm going to do more don't worry

Summary
____
Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.
Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.

Summary
Lance has been haunting the manor for years, but it's more of a curse, if he were to guess, as he got the one thing he hated most, only partly being seen then being ignored.. Oh and being pulled to most robins in their worst moments.. but he thinks its more a name thing then anything else.. they call for the older robin or their older brother, they mean Dickie boy, but the universe cant deliver a live person.. and he is technically their older adopted brother, even if they dont really know that.. or The family see him in the corner of there eyes when tired, a dark figure moving just out of reach, his name hasn't been spoken in years, his grave, well, overrun, he knows he wasnt the best kid but god.
That is until, a new kid joins, and keeps.. Staring, Lance guesses it's just zoning out, Tim does it sometimes.. so he ignores it.. until his name, his real name, is said and hes drawn back to his grave.. that new kid is reading his grave inscription..
Or: Duke sees of a blonde ghost walking the manor, but the ghost doesnt seem interested in talking, so he decides the learn who this is to hopefully help him move on, cuz hes nice like that.
