Summary
Batman dies saving Red Hood.
Jason Todd doesn't agree with this outcome and wishes for more time.
He wakes up, thirteen and earnest, in his childhood bedroom in Wayne Manor. Bruce is knocking at his door in an attempt to rouse him. Jason remembers this day. They're going to a Gotham Knights game later in the afternoon. Bruce's blood is still warm and criminal on his hands.
‘“Have you ever thought about that?” Jason murmurs. “Being rich in time?”
He feels Bruce’s fingers carding through his hair again. “It’s the most precious commodity of all. It’s priceless. It’s the one thing that I wish I had more of. You don’t have to worry about that, Jay. You’re fifteen. You have your whole life ahead of you.”’
Or, the one where being Robin never gave Jason magic—he was a little magic all along. Jason decides to do things a little differently the second time around. Wherein time casts a spell on them, and Bruce discovers the drag path Jason left in his wake.

Summary
Tim is an art forger. There’s no other word for it. He fakes antiquities and sells them. It’s illegal, it’s immoral, and it’s a total secret.
Tim has managed to avoid detection by his parents, their clients, the GCPD, Batman, INTERPOL, and, notably, Catwoman.
This all comes apart one soggy week in April, when Gotham mafia boss Callum O'Gowan gets an artifact he purchased from the Drakes appraised. Enraged by the fraud, O'Gowan kidnaps Tim on his way home from school to get back at Jack and Janet, who are totally certain that they’ve sold a genuine, authentic necklace and don’t really understand why this unpleasant large man is yelling so much.
In the aftermath, Tim struggles to keep his parents from discovering his lies, his neighbors from discovering his kidnapping, and his neighbors' alter egos from discovering his crimes.
~~~
Meanwhile, Jason Todd has just met the funniest freshman at Gotham Academy who is also clearly the most-up-to-something freshman at Gotham Academy. Also, all of his bullies are avoiding him suddenly.
Things get weirder.

Summary
Jason has lived a hard life, from growing up with an abusive father and a dead mom, to dying after a brutal attack, to digging himself out of his own grave, to his new father choosing to save his killer.
But what if fate had plans in store for him? What happens when he gets caught in another explosion after saving his sibling? What happens when he wakes up in a different box, in a different time, in a different world? Will he be able to navigate and survive?
___
Or: Jason has a very bad no good time while caving slowly, much like a black hole. But then he gets killed and wakes up in the Marvel time line. Only difference is this time he no longer has a mission to stick to, and happens to be the same age he was the first time. Strap in for one choas gremlin with no more fucks to give, unleashed in a time line where Bruce can no longer hold him back. Stick around as he slowly pulls everyone in and forms one new family that will appreciate him fully, even if he may bite sometimes.
Plump with heavy angst, existential crisis, and a healthy dosage of crack to balance it all out.
⚠️ Will not commission art for any of my fics, so please stop asking⚠️

“‘Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.’ And me…I’ve been losing you. You could say it was foretold by gyromancy.”

Summary
He supposed it made sense for Jason to want to witness the trial of the boy that killed his murderer. Alright, sure, fine.
But why was he approaching Tim???
“Um, hi. Congratulations.” said the man in question, offering a bouquet of red roses, partially striped with white. Roses Tim was pretty sure were freshly cut from the Wayne garden because he’d spied on said garden long enough to recognize Alfred’s handiwork.
---
Tim kills the Joker. He fully expects this to have consequences. He does not expect Jason Todd to ask him out. -

Summary
Jason felt healthier, and a little more settled. Most notably, the odd bouts of uncontrollable rage he'd been subjected to since coming back to life were nowhere to be found. It was a gift he'd never expected anyone to be able to give him. Within forty-eight hours, Drake had managed to accomplish it.
Now he felt like he had to thank Drake properly, no matter how awkward it might be.

All it takes to crumble Tim’s relationship with the Wayne’s, specifically Bruce, is for an infatuation drug to be administered. Everything tumbles down after that, and he’s left alone to try to build it all back up. Only… Maybe he’s not as alone as he thinks, in those feelings or that building.

Summary
Heat
Thick. Living. Swallowing him whole.
He couldn't breathe.
Something pulled at his lungs. His eyes shot open, and all he saw was green. Blinding, burning green, sloshing around him like a heartbeat. Every inch of him felt like it was on fire.
He didn’t know which way was up.
His arms moved. Legs kicked. His body thrashed with one command surging through every nerve:
Get out.
His hands found something, and he pushed with all his strength.
Then, suddenly, air.
He collapsed forward, coughing out something thick and sour. Not water. Not blood.
The floor was metal. Cold. And beneath that, there were voices.
The world tilted.
Pain bloomed sharply behind his eyes, and then he remembered
He died
--
Spider-Man is dead.At least, Peter was until he woke up in a Lazarus Pit with no memory of how he got there, no legal identity, and his sister Clara dragging him through back alleys in a city they don't recognize.
Gotham is cold and unfamiliar. The city is shifting. And something bigger is coming.

Summary
"Oh my god, I need you to be my boyfriend immediately," Jason blurts out. He hears choking or what might be someone's best imitation of a cat being strangled, but ignores it. He drags his eyes away from the shelves of curated Batman memorabilia to look Tim dead in the eye. "I need you so fucking bad."
"W-what?!" Tim says, cheeks tinged pink.
It’s like Christmas has come three weeks early. For the first time since coming up with this half-hatched plan, Jason isn't stuck on worrying whether it'll work—he's thinking about how much fun it'll be when the guy he brings home can't stop talking about superheroes. To his superhero family. While his superhero family hides their superhero business right under Tim's non-superhero nose.
Jason fucking loves a good comedy.
Well, damn, Jay. It's a good thing Tim does too.

Summary
“Welcome to Drake’s Thaumatorium, how can I -”
Tim was jolted out of his distracted drawl as he felt the hair on his arms stand up. His eyes snapped to the front door as a brick wall of a man clearly in possession of strong identity charms finished closing the door behind him. The identity charms were sketchy, sure, but when dealing with magic it was better to be safe than sorry when worried about potential retaliation for a spell, so those are pretty common - especially in Gotham.
No, what had Tim’s guard up now was the taste of death on the back of his tongue, coming from the man.

thoughts? and prayers by 37nightwalker for Love_me_normally24

Summary
Jason couldn’t do this the normal way. He doesn’t know if he could do normal, even if he tried. But he asked this guy he’s been crushing on on a date after building up all his courage to do so. It’s just his luck that it happened halfway across the world on a mission, scantily dodging away from certain doom.
Tim looks at him, silent ever since he popped the date question. Jason doesn’t know if he should even be hopeful for an answer at this point. It’s dragged on long enough for him to get antsy.
“If you manage to figure out where these guys go to spend their free time,” Tim finally says, “then we’ll see.”
From there, the answer had been quick and easy (and not just because Jason’s eager for that date).

Why'd Dick have to send him on this mission with the new kid. For all he knows, the kid is useless! At least Kon is with him. Although he doesn't understand why they're in the middle of nowhere though.

5 Times Tim Accidentally Helped his Parents and 1 Time They Accidentally Helped him by Eggsalad88
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Tags
Summary
Of course, perhaps it was his wishful thinking or just plain stupidity, his parents hadn’t noticed he was gone. They never noticed him. Tim was a ghostly child and it wasn’t because he was so pale; it was because no one ever saw him.
or
Tim gives more than he gets, even if it’s by accident. The one time he does get, he’s given a family. That’s an accident too.
or
Jason is alive, Dick is just trying to be an older brother, Bruce can't figure out how Tim has survived this far, and Tim is so so sad.
