Summary
This is the beginning of a story. The start of many stories in-fact.
The start of a bat claiming a city of darkness.
The start of arrows flying in the city of stars.
This is the beginning of Tim Drake’s story.

There is a reason Bruce found out he’s good at being a detective. There is a reason Oliver Queen gets on the boat.
There is a reason.
Timothy Drake is that reason.

Summary
Two years ago, Tim's life went to hell. But Mama saved JJ so he saved Mama by shooting Papa. It was hard, but the therapy helped and he could hide the physical scars well enough. It wasn't like his parents were ever around long enough to notice anything, they hadn't even realised he was kidnapped for months.
But now Robin, Jason Todd was dead, and Batman was going off the rails. He had to do something but what could he do? So he kept following the bat and helping those he could. People started talking about the Ghost who would help, it was better than them knowing who he was.
But Batman obviously needed a Robin, so who better to ask than the first? Nightwing had been nice enough and Dick Grayson had given him his first ever hug. He had to help.

Summary
“Affirmative. Drake, you have been exhibiting inconspicuous yet suspicious behavior.”
“Exactly! Couldn’t have said it better! Now, Tim-Tam, care to tell us what you were searching for? I swear, it was just sooo annoying, my phone screaming at me at midnight. Y’know how controlling GothNet could be of security! Has to blare it out to everyone in the vicinity.” A lie.
“I don’t see how that’s any of your business. Both of you.”
A.K.A
After falling in the Lazarus Pit alive and unharmed, Tim Drake comes back to life. In another universe. Will Tim be able to step out of this nightmare version of Gotham with crime organizations instead of vigilantes, or will he fall right into his family's clutches again?

Summary
There had been nothing that warned him.
Maybe it was hoping for something good to go right and as planned for once that jinxed it.
No, the day was fine and it should've stayed fine. It had no reason not to.
But as Tim locked his apartment door and hung up his keys on their hook, slipping off his shoes to put on the rack, he felt a heaviness settle in his shoulders.Series

Summary
Bruce adopted Dick at eight
Jason at twelve
And Tim... Sixteen.
Sixteen. Practically grown by the time he entered Bruce’s world...Well stayed under his roof.
Sixteen: Independent, solo patrols, solo cases...He doesn't need Bruce to hover...right?
Or: Bruce is Tim's parent. Just because the boy doesn't purposely cause trouble like his last two doesn't mean that he doesn't attract it.
Or more simply: The author loves Tim's and Bruce's dynamic and wishes there were more fics about it. Here is five times Bruce was a parent to Tim and one time Tim was a son to Bruce.

Summary
Tim carved himself a place with the Wayne's. He bled for a chance to don a domino mask. He endured condescension, attempts on his life that were met with no reprimand, he even endured Robin - the one thing he had left - being taken and given to Damian. He went on a trip around the goddamn world just to find Bruce after he was lost in the timestream. He cried, fought, bled, underwent medical malpractice, and still found his adopted father. All to be met with no apologies for his eldest brother's threats of Arkahm, and a request for his emancipation so Bruce wouldn't have to run Wayne Enterprises.
Tim Drake-Wayne dropped the hypenation.
He was never a Wayne, and he finally realized it.

Summary
“For the record, I totally didn’t send this,” Jason declares, resting his fists judgmentally on his hips and wrinkling the bridge of his nose as he takes in the envelope’s exterior details. “I wouldn’t embarrass myself by printing the address for Wayne Manor in Comic Sans. And I definitely wouldn’t use whatever fresh hell that return address is printed in.”
Taking the bagged envelope in hand again, Bruce moves to the Batcomputer and pulls up the folder of fonts on the system. He glances between the envelope and the sample screen for the font he’d already suspected would be a match.
But clocking the font name gives him a great deal of pause. “Jokerman,” he finally declares in a growl through clenched teeth.
Tim, as it turns out, may not be Jack Drake’s son, but Bruce Wayne’s already got kids he picked out personally. That’s okay though, because Tim’s got a plan for how to deal with this revelation—it’s not like he needs acknowledgement from a second father that doesn’t want him, anyway.

Summary
Tim awoke within a room that was stale aired, pitch black, and completely soundless. He was ill, and even if he HAD been able to move, the shackle around his ankle meant he would not be leaving anytime soon. As far as Dick knew, he was dead, and that put him at Jason's mercy. To make matters worse, the man was dead-set on him being his personal plaything, a pet of sorts...
At first, Tim wants nothing more than to get strong enough to make an escape. But after a while, once he's truly gotten to know the former Robin, he's not quite so sure he wants to leave anymore. Or if Jason could take it if he did- of course, that's when everything falls apart.
Tim knows he's not the same person he was before the bunker- and he can't go back to being him either. He's never going to let anyone control him, keep him locked up, ever again... he refuses.
But Gotham needs Batman- and Jason is the only one willing to shoulder that burden.
Tim has always said that Batman needs a Robin- but it looks like it's Jason that needs a Tim...
