Summary
By day, Tim Drake is Gotham’s enigmatic Drake Industries heir—charming, polished, untouchable.
By night, he is The Rook, a shadowy kingpin running a network dedicated to protecting the city’s most vulnerable.
When a mysterious killer begins targeting workers under his protection, Tim must race against the clock to uncover the culprit before everything he’s built comes crashing down. The clock is ticking, the bodies are piling up, and Gotham’s Bats are circling too… curious, relentless, and dangerously close.
This time, the game is personal.

The Science of Falling Apart (and the Art of Being Found) by NocturnalAnomaly

Summary
Tim Drake never became Robin. Instead, he became a ghost with a trust fund, a bad habit, and no one who cared enough to stop him.
When Jason Todd finds him half-dead in an alleyway, the overdose is only half of the problem.
Saving someone's life is easy. Keeping them alive after, not so much.
OR:
A story about recovery and finding the people who care.

Summary
“Of course,” came Alfred’s voice, smooth as ever. “The Manor is quite prone to such… disturbances.”
Barbara raised her brows. “Disturbances?”
“One could call it atmosphere. Or, if one wished to indulge in more fanciful interpretations, one might say the house has its share of… restless tenants.”
The family froze.
Alfred continued, unbothered. “The Waynes have always had a rather colourful history. It is not uncommon, I suppose, for certain presences to linger. Though, as you’ve all so firmly established, ghosts are nothing but nonsense.”
OR:
The Wayne family's spooky Halloween movie marathon takes a turn when the Manor itself decides to get into the spirit.

Summary
“They’ll find out,” Tim whispered, voice cracking. “They always do.”
Bruce’s expression softened. He crouched closer, lowering his voice. “You’re not in trouble. You mixed medication with alcohol. That’s all. You’re not the first person to make that mistake.”
Tim gave a hollow laugh that dissolved into a cough. “Not—not a mistake.”
OR:
Tim mixes his meds with alcohol. The fallout is immediate.

Summary
“Hi! I’m Vigilante,” he said brightly. “My fun fact is that I know 203 different ways to kill a human being.”
Jason stared. “…You need to be institutionalised.”
Vigilante nodded enthusiastically. “They tried that once! I made friends with the janitor. We still text.” He dropped his voice in a loud whisper. “I killed his abusive wife for him.”
OR:
Bruce forces Jason into group therapy. Leota sends Adrian to the same one. Adrian’s pretty sure he just met his second-best friend!

Nino Lahiffe: Matchmaker Extraordinaire by not_today (orphan_account)

Summary
Her grin widened. "Oh, you know, how Chat Noir obviously has a thing for Dupain-Cheng. He was all over her today, flirting and kissing her hand. I think he even called her Princess. That mangy cat is smitten."
A lot of things happened at once. Marinette stammered out some retort, her cheeks flushed an incriminating pink. Adrien's face burned and Alya's mouth hung open. And Nino simply switched to the next song on his spotify playlist, not even batting an eye.
Ah yes. It was all coming together.
--
In which Marinette and Adrien are pining, Alya is confused, Nino is frustrated, and Chloe is the fandom.

Summary
If anyone asked the Batfamily which Robin had the funniest ’joining the family’ story? Well, everyone would start with, “Well it seemed like Jason had the spot taken for good after having the audacity to try and jack the Batmobile’s tires and hit Bruce with his tire iron.” And then they’d say, “But then tiny Tim decided to try and steal the whole thing.”
Or: When Tim is 11 he figures it’s not hurting anyone if he. Ya know. Takes a picture in the Batmobile. But then the power goes to his head and all of a sudden he’s hacking the Batmobile and tearing through Gotham on a rescue mission.

Summary
"Let it be known that I completely detest the implications of what this situation is mirroring," Red Hood grumbles to himself and it's the longest string of words Duke has heard from any so-called Gotham vigilante, let alone the one who's known for shooting more than he is talking.
"The fuck?" Duke mutters, because if he's already going to die, he might as well try and make sense of it.
"I'm not going to care about whatever sob story you have," is what Red Hood replies with instead of explaining, "Where are your parents?"
"Gone," is all Duke says, because it's really none of this guy's business. It's also the truth.
Somehow, Red Hood sounds even more anguished about this information than Duke is, "Ah shit."
(Duke steals the tires off Red Hood's bike and somehow gains a family.)

Summary
or, How Tim Drake Found A Family, Became A Photojournalist, Learned To Love Coffee, and Grew Up, not necessarily in that order.
Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.
Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there.
