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
Damian didn’t need an older brother. Tough luck, Bruce thought he didn’t need a Robin either. Look where that got him.
Or Tim doesn’t care what Damian says. He has always wanted a baby brother to love and care for and Damian fits the bill. So what if he’s a little stabby stabby? That just gives him character.

“You want me to help you do what?!”
Bernard looked at Tim like he was completely insane, which was slightly valid but also extremely hypocritical.
“I want you to help me fabricate emails between myself and Jason Todd to convince Bruce Wayne that I was actually friends with his dead son so I can gain access to their family.” Tim felt like this wasn’t exactly a big deal.

Summary
When Tim Drake was 17, he faked his own death.
Three years later, a new guy has entered Gotham, with hacking skills that outmatch Oracle’s, a blade sharp enough to cut through bone, and a penchant for disappearing better than the Batman himself.
And he’s making a mark on the villain population of Gotham.
He leaves no evidence behind, nothing to mark himself by, only the remnants of his kill and a name: Cardinal -

Summary
Jason’s abrupt laugh breaks the stillness of the vicinity which is unfortunately followed by Damian sneering, “Oh please, Drake, anytime you speak I have to wonder if there’s any reason you still stick around-” but Jason just interrupts with, “Hey Tim what do you think of Damian?” with glee on his face.
Tim just tiredly stares at the wall before automatically, “I think he’s annoying, but I also think he’s really adorable when he’s playing with his animals or drawing and thinks he’s alone and acts like normal person instead of putting up a strong facade that he was forced to cultivate in such an abusive environment,” everyone stares at him for a second seconds in surprise and Damians specifically has wide eyes,
“Unfortunately, due to his maltreatment towards me, I end up with a lot of intrusive thoughts around him and now when I see him in the corner of my eye I get super angry and defensive due to paranoia he’ll try to kill me again. But then I think about how with one call I could accept Ra’s continual attempts to make me his Queen and then I would be his Grandmother and the idea of that really cracks me up.”

Summary
Tim has been staring at the meme in front of him for the better part of an hour. “Eat The Rich,” it says.
He’s done the research. The choice is obvious. The question is, how should he go about making such a big change in his life - and so many other people’s lives too? He has some ideas. He’s been thinking about the pros and cons for several months now, and he knows that he’s wasting time at this point.

We've all heard the suggestion, "What if Bruce Wayne put more of his money towards charities instead of dressing up like a man-bat hybrid, beating people up, and raspily screaming 'I AM VENGEANCE' every night?" Well, I don't think that Bruce is smart enough to get his head out of his ass, but Tim? This is my idea of what he could do if he realized that a lot of crime is a byproduct of people's lack of access to the resources they need. Plus some JayTim laced in there cuz I love them.

Summary
After one too many issues bombard him, Tim snaps while searching for Bruce. He dirties his hands and stumbles upon a new way to bring his father back, Chronomancy.
Except, Tim never expected the spell to send him back twelve years?
But he's smart, and he might not have the Bats as backup anymore, but he'll make this timeline better than before.
Though, he never expected Constantine to get involved, or for the Bats to remember.
