Discovery (Enter the Drake, pt. 1) by Jacey (OncillaBrigade)
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics)
11 Jul 2024

Summary
The thing is, as amazing as it is to personally know the world’s best detective and both of his sidekicks, it does mean every plan Tim has ever made for how to make a good impression on his biggest heroes is useless. He’s already made first impressions. And none of them were good!
You ever just been chilling in front of the news and found out your beloved babysitter/cool older friend, his idiot dad, and his little brother are your personal vigilante idols? Neither has Tim, but turns out there really is a first time for everything. Now he just has to figure out two things: how it's even possible for Bruce Wayne to be Batman, and how he'll survive dinner at Wayne Manor when he knows his hosts are Gotham's heroes.
Part of 73 Votes AU, stories set in a kinder, gentler timeline than DC gave us where Jason Todd was saved just in time and Tim Drake entered his found family a few years early (see notes below).

Simple Ideations And The Consequences That Come With by Nonsensicalwitheringrambles
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics)
12 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Tim padded down an empty, cold hallway of his family’s home. Thunder rolled across the sky, shaking the floor beneath him and sending a shiver down his spine. He hated nights like these. He had just gotten done with his near nightly bat-fan-cam patrol, and hadn't been able to fall asleep when he had finally drug himself home. His parents were off in Italy for some expensive art show, the idea being the more art they bought, the more tax breaks they'd receive. It was all hidden under the guise of charity of course, at the end of the three night art show a portion of the proceeds would be donated.
A tiny portion.

Aka, Tim Drake thinks Bruce Wayne and Batman are dating, and some how gets adopted in the process

Summary
After a difficult year (for many reasons) Tim goes back to Gotham to help Jason Todd reconnect with his family. Whether Jason wanted that or not, well, Tim had time to wear him down. Between the tutelage of Deathstroke and Lady Shiva, he was well equipped to handle himself as Jason's equal and hit Gotham's vigilante scene as the Buzzard. His parents were dead and the lonely cavity in his chest kept growing every day, but it didn't matter. Tim's mission could and would succeed despite his personal feelings and failures. He was fine and he had a job to do.

Summary
The Last Time Theory said that eventually, something will happen for the last time and you won't even remember it. Bruce couldn't remember the first time he'd held his kids. He made it his mission to remember his last.
"“I’m fine. I just.” Bruce thought back to that video that had been cluttering his brain since Dick sent it to him. The sentiment of it, the truth. When was the last time I held my own kid? And even worse: Was it the last time I ever will?"

Summary
“Are you an organ thief?”
Robin made a choking sound.
“An organ thief?” Batman repeated, and now he sounded a little amused.
Tim nodded once, which was a mistake, because the pier rolled unnaturally under his feet.
“Important screening question,” he said.
OR:
Tim is high on pain meds, but is he going to let that stop him from saving Batman and Robin? Of course not.

Displacement by Imbecamiel
Fandom Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics)
16 Apr 2026
Summary
Reconciliation is a process that takes time. Sometimes not quite as much time as you'd think.
There's an emotional throughline of developing character dynamics over the course of the series, but I've written the vast majority of the stories to be self-contained plot-wise. There's no required reading order if you want to jump around to ones that catch your interest, though I do recommend starting with the first one for background.

Most of the Bats have moved on from that.
Conner Kent has not. But Jason's kind of his only option to help Tim right now.

Summary
Damian stood at the top of the dinosaur, biting his tongue as he worked to pull the dust cloth through the links of the chain keeping the top heavy robot from falling forward. He grunted as the cloth stuck in the links for the fifth time since he had started the horrid task of dusting. Alfred was mad at him, and so Damian was stuck cleaning the cave from top to bottom.
Damian felt the butler was overreacting, it wasn’t as if he had actually put the itching powder in Drake’s suit. He had only planned on doing it. Father hadn’t thought it funny either. Richard would have at least snorted. Damian thought he would anyway. Todd had told him of a long prank war between him and Richard that lasted nearly a month when Todd was Robin. It had only ended after both the Batsuit and the Batmobile were pepto bismol pink.
Damian sighed. He didn’t understand. He thought it would have been funny. Evidently, he couldn’t even prank correctly.

Summary
“Replacement.”
Tim freezes, gaze still locked on Jack’s prone, silent form sprawled out on the floor, and pulls the phone back to look at the number.
It’s kind of funny, he thinks hazily. Of course he would accidentally kill his dad and then mistakenly call Jason, of all people.

Summary
Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.
Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.
He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.
"You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"
"She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.
