Summary
He spots the robin on a tree branch maybe thirty feet away, and Tim, grinning, goes to adjust the settings on the binoculars.
It's exactly then that he realizes what's behind the bird.
Because from here, on the third story and at just this angle, there's no treeline to block his view. Behind the little robin singing on its branch, he can see the Wayne family manor, clear as anything, close enough that it almost feels like he could reach out and touch it. One of the windows on the downstairs floor is open, and it's draped with light curtains that float softly in the breeze. A moment later, a different sort of Robin bounds into view, sans mask, grin wide and bright.
Tim flinches back as though burned.

Summary
Gotham needs Batman. Batman needs a Robin.
And unfortunately, it looks like there's no Robin-shaped kids around except Tim.
So, it will just have to be him.
----
This is an AU fic where Tim Drake becomes Robin, and Bruce Wayne cannot figure out the identity of the kid behind the mask. There will be hijinks, there will be fluff, there will be angst.

Summary
Tim, stuck on comms due to a broken leg, is attacked by a familiar cowled figure in the Batcave.
The problem? Bruce is still out on patrol.
An alternate Batman stranded far from home should be nothing more than a temporary complication. Instead, Tim finds himself growing close to a Bruce Wayne who has a Dick, a Jason, but no Tim.
And some doors, once opened, are hard to close.

Summary
Tim finds himself in an unfamiliar familiar world where everything is as he knows it to be except for himself.
Rather than the vigilante Red Robin, he turns out to be snobby, irresponsible Timothy Drake who has nothing to do with the Bats and they want nothing to do with him in return.

Summary
Jack Drake wasn’t the best parent, but at least Tim had one, right?
He could’ve been an orphan like the rest of the strays pulled into Bruce’s orbit, bound together more by trauma than choice. Damian was the only one with a real tie, an unshakable claim. A family, but only technically.
And still—one Tim was never quite part of. His father made sure of it.
Jack kept him just far enough away to remain separate, on the fringes, close enough to see everything he was missing but not to belong, to be chosen.
or
Tim is usually good hiding his father’s abuse. what happens when he can't?
