Summary
____
Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.
Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.

Summary
“I have time.”
Tim does not, in fact, have time.
But it’s Nightwing who is calling. What’s he going to do—say no? Preposterous. That's a crime in and of itself. Tim would rather swallow nails and kiss his mother goodnight than say no to Dick Grayson. “How can I help you, Nightwing?”

or, when tim is three people at the same time, jebaits the bats into joining their family twice, and might be accidentally running the city as an emergency hotline operator. not necessarily in that order. -

Summary
Tim gets de-aged, and tells absolutely no one.
He also, in no particular order, gets therapy, does a lot of crime, channels his inner cyberbully, steals another Batmobile, moves to Metropolis (temporarily), causes an Arkham breakout, gets kidnapped, kidnaps someone else, and accidentally becomes a supervillain somewhere along the way.
Parental supervision is for losers.

Summary
Tim was terrified. There was no denying it. He stood in front of Jason’s apartment door, shivering and soaked to the bone, clutching his school bag. Jason was not going to be happy once he opened the door and saw him there – Tim knew that. But this was his only option.
There was no way he could go to the manor. Tim couldn’t face Bruce like this.
OR: Tim gets a "bad" grade and panics

Summary
Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.
Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)
And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.
Sort of.

Summary
Tim doesn't expect much after he's left for dead, bleeding out in the ruin that had once been Gotham. His family is dead, his friends as well, and there is nothing else to look forward to besides joining them in the beyond. Dying and delirious, he hangs on by a thread - Long enough for an offer to be made, a request for help and Tim has never been able to say no to that.
He doesn't expect much and he certainly doesn't expect a second chance but it seems like Gotham doesn't let go easily of what they considers to be theirs.
He dies and yet he doesn't. He dies but he lives.
He dies and he is taken back, time unwinding, the clock set back and he is born into a new life. A new him, and at a point where he can change things for the better, if he can survive.
Tahmid al Ghul (Wayne) is born in Spring 1997, as Heir of the Demon Head, as Ibn al Xu'ffasch - nearly twenty years before he died as Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne.
He just hopes he will be able to survive growing up in the League of Assassins, and that he will be able to go back to his family once more.

Summary
Tim's eyes blinked open to see Joker's wide smile. "Little birdy!" Joker crowed in delight. "Is there something you wish to tell your Papa?"
"Fuck you," Tim spat out.
Joker slammed the rods into his temples. Tim's vision whited out, pain coursing through his veins. He didn't know how long Joker held them there, but when he took them away, Tim's throat was raw with his screams and his muscles twitched and jerked in the aftermath of the electricity.
"Ya know I don't like to be left out of the joke, Junior," Joker said thoughtfully. "I'm told lotsa kids your age hide things from their Papa."
--
or, Tim is a metahuman with the ability to heal from death. When he is kidnapped, the Joker plans to turn him into Joker Junior. Then, Tim is killed, and Joker realises the Robin he caught can't stay dead.

Summary
Tim stared at the ornate tombstone.
His Grandmother had always said she wouldn’t live past sixty. She had stated it, like it was stone cold fact. And she had been right.
The Drakes were cursed. Cursed to know the day they died.
Tim’s Grandmother had lived for sixty years. His father would live for forty three years, his mother thirty nine. There was a pattern there, one Tim didn’t like to think about. But he knew, no matter how much he tried to ignore it, he knew when he would die.
Seventeen felt too short a life to live.
--
or, an AU where Tim is born knowing when he will die.
