Summary
"So." Tim said into comms as the guy smacked Jason so hard he went flying into a dumpster. "Is there a plan?"
"Do not get hit by the ray gun." Bruce rumbled in response, using his grapple to launch himself into a powerful dropkick that almost managed to knock the guy down. "We still don't know what exactly it does."
"Well, that's obviously Luthor tech, so I think it's probably safe to assume it's got something to do with dimensional bullshit." Jason levered himself up using the lip of the dumpster, sounding rightfully pissed.Or
Tim Drake gets zapped to another universe just after retrieving Bruce from the timestream and finds out it's a world where Jason never died and the version of himself that exists in that world never got involved with the Bats. From there, he makes a few dubious plans and does all he can to protect a family that isn't his.

Summary
Dick wanted Tim to get a new callsign? A new moniker? Identity? That's exactly what he's going to do, at the start of his journey to find Bruce he runs into a long forgotten hero who helps him out.
Tim's always been a bit of a night owl anyway.. the name certainly fits.
or;Instead of going down a road of violence, a chance meeting with a past hero opens a new road for Tim to express himself and learn who and what kind of hero he wants to be. (Tech/Gadget/Inventor? Engineer? Timmy)

Summary
Titans Tower had been an event Jason wouldn't soon forget. The blinding rage and madness had taken hold, and much of it was lost in a red haze. The parts he did recall clearly, however, were visions that haunted his dreams.
Reeling from his horrific actions, Jason must now navigate the guilt and self-hatred that come from losing control, all the while trying to understand his new place in the Bat family - and his increasingly complicated relationship with his victim, and adopted brother, Tim Drake.

It’s Christmas Eve and Tim should really be in bed. It was getting late, late enough to almost be Christmas day.

“Let’s have a thunderstorm date,” Hawk says, softer now.
“A…” Tim stammers. “I meant the… the date you—”
“The one I asked you on?” Hawk finishes for him, smiling. “Kind of. I still plan to take you to a real restaurant, just not in this weather. And honestly? I don’t want to wait any longer. So—home-cooked dinner, candles, maybe some TV or just talking. What do you say?”

Summary
This is a really long fic I wrote on google docs, I got to 100 pages, low key lost interest, then decided to rewrite it all yay. I added stuff too. My best summary is that this is my rewriting of the Batfamily based on my limited knowledge of DCU things and my own personal headcanons and thoughts. I tried my best to represent the characters, so sorry if they're a little OOC, I tried to balance angst and chaos. Emotions are hard.
Full disclosure, it follows Tim a lot because I originally wrote this to be Tim centric, but it grew really fast from there.
I have no schedule as I'm sure you've all seen by now lmao. -

Summary
“I love you too, Tim,” he said, his voice thick with a decade of unspoken emotion, with ten months of silent, desperate prayer.
“That’s what I was going to tell you the second I got back. That was the plan. That was the only thing that kept me going in that place. The thought of coming home… to you.”

Summary
Jason thought he was the only one the family failed.
Then a twelve-year-old showed up at his door, soaked to the bone and shaking, asking if he could stay.
Tim Drake was never supposed to find him — not here, not like this. But he did. And now he's asleep in Jason’s bed, curled up like he belongs there, like he’s always belonged there, and Jason can’t stop thinking about the way they all let this happen. About how a kid this small had to carry the weight of the family on his back just to keep them from falling apart.
Jason was forged in fire. Tim’s been surviving in silence.
And in the quiet, with the past still burning and the ghosts still breathing, Jason makes a promise:
He won’t let this one fall.Series
