Summary
"Damian thinks Robin is something he's owed. He thinks that he deserves it, just by being Bruce's biological son. How do I begin to explain that it's not his? How do I begin to explain that it's not even mine? I thought maybe he would understand when he saw your suit in the cave. This would all be so much easier if Dick had picked up the colors again. Not even Damian could argue with the first Robin being Robin again. Actually, he probably could. I think the kid could argue with a wall."
or; There's something weird about the way Damian Wayne fights and it leads to Tim Drake figuring out Red Hood's identity

Gaslighting Your Parents Into Thinking You Have A Sibling by VoidWalker81
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
23 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
I had just read "Hey Look! Free Sibling!" by @S_C_G and randomly thought of an alternate universe where they didn’t climb the fence to Wayne Manor and Tim hacked her a birth certificate and online schooling and gaslit his parents into thinking she was actually his sibling, but she stayed away from them cause when they saw her they’d end up getting super drunk and have screaming matches about indiscretions in Hong-Kong, and they eventually sent her to boarding school for people with special needs because she was mute. Like, she could speak, but she just didn't because whenever she tried talking to them they got mad. (they weren't abusive)
Starts when they walk past Wayne Manor, Chapter 3.Tim pointedly walks past Wayne Manor, refusing to even look. He wished they would see him, help him; wished he could talk to his personal hero, Jason Todd; but it was foolish to even hope. Right now, his sister was more important.

Summary
Tim has been having the absolute time of his life. He finally has a way to get to Bludhaven to get pictures of Nightwing in his own city. Which is so cool.
Dick is not having the absolute time of his life. He has a stalker. And he wants to find them. Not cool at all.
That stalker is a twelve year old child who totally isn't smart enough to figure out his super secret identity right?
Right?

Summary
When your brother is a genius, you tend to ask him a lot of things—whether because you genuinely have a question or just to mess with him and see if he really knows the answer.
All of the siblings, at some point, call Tim to ask him all kinds of random things, but when it comes to Jason and Steph, it happens way more often.
Tim suspects they simply don’t want to waste brain cells thinking and instead delegate the job to him rather than actually looking anything up on the internet.
There was also the time Damian caught the two idiots arguing about how Tim’s contact was saved in their phones.

Summary
AU where Tim Drake never became Robin. He chose instead to linger in the shadows, a silent, unseen guardian, watching over Gotham with the Dark Knight’s quiet approval. Years later, the Batfamily begins to wonder a subtle presence that has always been there, a shadow that moves unseen, connecting with them only when necessary, guiding without revealing itself through signs. Who is this ghost in the night, and what price does trust demand? Will Bruce ever tell them who this mysterious ally is, or must they discover it themselves?

Summary
"Vampirism, by its very nature, is insidious. Like a parasite, or more accurately a virus, it exists for one singular purpose: to replicate. It inhabits a host, twists them, immortalises them, and reconfigures their instincts until the need to seek out new prey becomes as essential as breath once was.
At least, that's what scholars suggest.
Bruce often found himself lost in that theory, particularly during the long, restless stretches of night when his fangs ached with no clear cause. He wondered, with a distant kind of numbness, whether that persistent ache was really purpose. Was this why he longed, almost obsessively, for some unsuspecting human to wander into his path? Was it vampirism nudging him to seek out new life, not simply to feed, but to share the curse? To propagate?
But even that thought felt incomplete. Deep down, Bruce knew it wasn’t just the hunger or the need to spread. He yearned for more than a victim. He craved a student."
OR: Vampires think that humanity went extinct, but they’re wrong. Chaotic!Teenager Tim Drake is the last human alive in a world of vampire bat family. Adoption ensues.

The Possession of Damian Wayne by hieravess
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics), Batman (Comics)
05 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Tim had experience doing the impossible. And if saving Damian was impossible, then Tim would stop at nothing to succeed. If he could save Bruce from the timestream, even when no one else thought he was alive? He could save Damian from Ra’s.
He’d have to. For Damian. For his little goddamn brother.
Tim and Damian, despite their contentious and tenuous history, have reached an understanding. They are brothers, whether they like it or not.
Not long after (not enough time, never enough time), Damian is stolen from Gotham, plucked right out of Tim’s grasp like that wasn’t his little brother. Like they hadn’t just started getting along.
So Tim will steal him back. Even if it means he has to work for the man (the monster, the Demon) who stole his brother’s face.

Summary
“I’m… looking for my brother,” Tim blurts. The lie slips out smoother than he expected. He adds a shrug for good measure. “Jason. He came through first. I followed.”
Something in Strange’s gaze shifts — the first hint of a crease between his brows. He doesn’t buy it completely, but he’s listening now.
“You opened a cross-dimensional rift,” Strange says slowly, like he doesn’t believe Tim’s lie, “to look for your brother.”
Or: After Jason Todd dies, he ends up in the MCU. Tim Drake — instead of finding Bruce Wayne and becoming the next Robin — goes after him.
Or: Post-Lazarus Jason Todd gets halfway adopted by Steve Rogers and thirteen-year-old genius Tim Drake gets fully adopted by the Sorcerer Supreme himself.

Summary
The melody danced over the dark stone, snatched away every now and then by a gust of chilly wind. A minute passed, two. Goosebumps shivered across Tim’s arms with the music, rising up his neck and down his spine.
He wanted to know what song Robin was whistling, why it was so sad. Was Robin sad? He didn’t usually seem sad, Tim thought. Angry, often, mean sometimes, but usually laughing and joking.
The whistling stopped, eaten up into silence by the cold night air.
Or; An investigation into whistling.

Summary
Big smile, hands on his hips, eyes lit up behind that black mask.
“I’m Robin!” Tim squeals, but it sounds nothing like him. His voice matches his size and demeanor, high pitched and soft and…happy. He lets out a giggle, flexing his arms in the mirror, giving a kick and a belated hi–yah.
“That’s not a Robin uniform,” Bruce points out belatedly. It’s not the part Jason was noticing, but he’s right. It’s thin cloth, and too loose. The right colors and shapes, Jason supposes, but still, there's something off about it.
“Well, that and he hasn’t met us, yet,” Dick points out. “He’s not old enough.”
“But this is supposed to be his first day as Robin," Damian argues. Jason agrees—something is very, very wrong.

Tim Drake's Guide to Getting Away With Murder (Twice) by kitfornow
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics)
10 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
By choosing not to call the police ten minutes ago, and the hospital twelve minutes ago, and Bruce fifteen minutes ago, the decision has been made. There is no backing out, now.
His sweatshirt is still covered in blood, and soaked from the rain, but he ignores this. It’s fine. He’s fine. He’s the same calm, level-headed Tim he’s always been. So he plans.
Tim is a murderer. He murdered someone. It's an unchangeable, unshakeable fact...but no-one else knows about it. No-one knows what Tim has done. And if he’s smart, and careful, no-one ever will.
All he has to do is learn to live with it.

How many languages does Tim Drake speak? by Lady_of_Threads
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics)
10 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Tim was a lonely but very curious child with a good memory. From time to time, knowledge of other languages comes to the surface. When Tim answers Damian in Arabic, Alfred in German, Dick in Romani, and the socialites in French, Jason simply asks a logical question: how many languages does his Replacement know?!

Summary
Timothy Jackson Drake was a genius.
Certifiably, he’d been tested. Twice.
He was also smart.
He had his secret hide out office, his Batman photography hobby, and a foolproof system for managing his well-meaning but often absent parents.
Everything was working exactly as planned.
Then Super Boy Prime punched a hole through reality and Jason Todd clawed his way out of his grave.
Which was good. But decidedly not Tim’s problem.
Or it wasn’t until Tim accidentally photographed a dead Robin wandering around Gotham on Halloween night.
When he couldn’t lead the zombie to Batman, he did what any logical eleven-year-old would do: he solved the puzzle, fed the zombie, and somehow ended up with an overly protective shadow who thought crossing state lines required supervision.
Rude.
Tim was starting to regret his curiosity about riddles.
Timothy Jackson Drake was a genius.
No one could disagree.
He had papers!
But smart?
Yeah, Jason would argue that one.

“So,” Jason starts with a small laugh, more unsure of himself than he’d like to admit. “Nightmare or insomnia?”

Summary
In other lives, there are a lot of different paths Tim Drake might have walked, a slew of very different people he could one day become. The problem is, in this life, he’s ten years old and quite literally haunted by his own potential. He’s not being dramatic when he says the only thing he hates more than a poorly performed demonic ritual is himself.
Or: The one where Tim goes through demon-induced trauma, represses the hell out of it, and comes out the other side with six colorful voices in his head. It's fine.

Summary
There was a sharp whistle behind him, Tim turned to see Dick leaning against the table that held throwing knives and batarangs with the occasional wing ding.
Tim grinned.
“How’s your Uncle Eddie?” Dick asked lightly in a tone Tim knew dang well was loaded full of something under it

Summary
There was nothing to be embarrassed about. He knew that. It was logical.
Yet, there was a little less tension in his shoulders every time he put on a wig; it was easier to see with colored contacts, and he walked better in shoes that were not his. It was so satisfying to pretend to be someone else for a bit.
He was Timothy Drake, a son of a millionaire, and he was Red Robin. There wasn’t much time to be Tim, to be himself.
He’s never liked attention, and he had attention on him all the time. So what if clothing that was not his, makeup that changed his features, and hiding behind a different mask made his heart lighter and his lungs feel bigger?
