Summary
Sequel to No, Todd's the Cat
Healing is not a journey one can accomplish in a predetermined amount of time. It's isn't linear. And no one can expect it of you on any timeline but your own.
Like rings of a tree, you will run into the wound time and time again, but it's never a step back. Each time you interact with it, it heals just a little more.
In the safety and shelter of Tim and Jason's relationship, even the boundary stomping, unstoppable force that was Bruce Wayne didn't stand a chance.

Summary
Tim had spent most of his life in foster care, now attending GSU, he just wanted to get through his Bachelors, live quietly with his cat, Todd, and be grateful every day for endless coffee supplied by his coffee shop job.
At least that was the plan till he came home from a late night shift at said coffee shop to one of Gotham's most notorious vigilantes passed out against his door.
Tim chose to blame his lack of survival skills on not being raised in Gotham and pointedly ignored his cat's judgmental gaze when he dragged the unconscious man inside.
Hopefully, the only trigger happy vigilante in Gotham didn't see fit to point the barrel in Tim's direction.

Summary
Jason comes back to Gotham with a plan, a grudge and a newfound urge to kill. Not necessarily in that order.
Except that his intel on the current state of the city must be out of date at best, because by the time he returns, Timothy Drake owns at least a third of it.

Summary
Jason’s magic surges as he bares his teeth. He towers over Tim, big and imposing. Green pushes up against Tim’s shields, searching for weakness. “I don’t need a familiar,” Jason hisses.
Tim stares him down coldly. His heart races in his chest, but Jason doesn’t need to know that. Jason needs to see that he will not be walked over, that Tim is his mother’s son and has plenty of teeth of his own.
“Liar.”

(Or, Jason doesn't want a familiar; Tim doesn't want a bond. Bruce has other ideas.)

Summary
"If Todd skipped out on too many family meals, Grayson would be marching over to one of his safe houses and dragging him to the manor. If Brown or Cain was gone on a mission for too long, the family would make time for them to relax and Pennyworth would make their favorite meals to entice them to dinner. If Damian was too far into his head and feeling frustrated they would give him enough space that he didn't feel coddled but also open that door for him and eventually force him out of his own head.
But Drake... He hadn't come to family dinner for three months now, Todd never made it to the two month mark. Drake hasn't come back to the manor after a mission for anything longer than a sitrep and debrief. (Of which Drake consistently lied about and avoided medical attention every night and not once did anyone call him on it). And Drake was always in his own head and no one seemed to bother to pull him out. No one coddled, no open doors, no forcing him to float, just... letting him drown."
---
Or Damian notices Tim is treated differently than the rest of the family and wants to know why and he's determined to bring him back through bonding. -

Summary
Inspired by Cards on the table by wesslan, I highly recommend checking it out!
Tim Drake’s parents “died” in a freak accident that killed their whole family. Coincidentally, they also committed Tax Fraud. When they left, Tim was let alone in Gotham. He spent some time on the streets, before deciding to get a legal identity. Oh also, he plays a lot of poker. And wins. And owns a casino.
The Bat family are concerned about a new casino that seems to be a perfect playground for a rouge. The owner is said to be terrifying but he looks like he’s 14?? What’s up with that??
oops.

Summary
Jason is having a hell of a time trying to find his Replacement. Sure, he’s got a name from Talia: Timothy Drake. And he’s looked up the kid’s school records: perfect everything. Perfect grades. Perfect attendance. His school photo shows perfectly slicked-back hair and not one wrinkle on his Gotham Academy jacket. Wow, Bruce really won the lottery with his newest child soldier.
Infuriating.
Jason tries to do a little hate-stalking, but that’s where things go a bit weird. Timothy Drake has his own fuckin’ mansion right next to Bruce’s, but when he swings by Drake Manor, it’s oddly empty and devoid of life. Weird. Jason tracks down a penthouse in the Diamond District, but it seems to be falsified records because there’s a whole different rich guy living there.
What the fuck. Where does the Replacement go when he’s not Robin?
---------
Jason is having a hard time finding Tim Drake, but he's been running into a kid by the name of Alvin Draper in the Alley.
In the meantime, Tim Drake totally has 5-step plan to get Jason and Bruce to reconcile! Nothing will go wrong. :P

Tim Drake used to love photography. He used to be pretty damn good at it, too.
He doesn't do it so much anymore.
And he isn't sure why that seems to bother Damian so much.

Summary
"Jason had been pretty catatonic after he emerged from the ground and Tim helped him, only nodding and pretty much letting Tim make all the calls though Tim was pretty unnerved at being in charge but to be honest, Tim would also only nod or shake his head if he had remained voiceless after screaming for anyone to help him or dig him out of his grave."
On Tim Drake's visit to Jason's grave, he finds something. Tim finds Jason first after he comes back to life AU.

Summary
Tim Drake is good at surviving.
He knows how to keep his head down, how to read a room, how to make himself useful enough to be tolerated. Between school, a café job, and a home that never quite feels like one, Tim doesn’t expect much more than that.
Babysitting Damian Wayne was supposed to be simple. Temporary. A paycheck.
Instead, Tim finds himself pulled into a family that notices too much, bruises that linger, smiles that don’t reach his eyes, silences that say more than words ever could.
The Batfamily sees one of their own.
And Tim?
Tim is learning what it feels like when someone stays. -

Summary
"So, here's how it's gonna go. You're gonna pay for two tickets so I can take you all the way home and tucked in like good rich kids should be. Then you're gonna give me the money for a ticket back here, and maybe some more for a sandwich as payment for this good deed."
"Don't people usually do a good deed, like, because it's good? Not for a reward."
"Most people got sandwiches. Most people don't wander around Gotham in the middle of the damn night."
OR
When a young Tim gets lost late at night in Gotham, an older boy finds him, saves his life - twice - and takes him home. And then just...doesn't leave.

“I’m going to ask you a question and I need you to tell the truth for me. Is that okay?” Nightwing asked softly.
Tim nodded.
“Have you heard of Alvin Draper before?”
Before he could stop himself Tim was taking in a sharp breath that sounded almost pained.
One of his men must have talked, he supposed that’s what you got when you hire anyone who’s interested, but it still hurt. Maybe he should create proper profiles on all of them once this is done so he can deduce who’s trustworthy and who isn’t.
“No,” Tim said, although he was aware how obviously it was a lie.
Or: Tim accidentally becomes a crime lord.

Summary
After getting hit by Scarecrow's latest toxin Tim realises that Gotham was slowly draining all his sanity. Knowing that if he stays longer he would truly lose his mind, Tim wonders if he should leave Gotham.
In true Two Face fashion, Tim flipped a coin.
Heads, Tim would stick around Gotham and nothing would change. Tails, Tim would leave Gotham and start over.
Meanwhile the Bats are trying to figure out a way to make up to Tim after all that had happened.
—---------------------------------
“Are you sure about this?”
“I can’t do this anymore, Tam.” Tim admitted.
“Can you at least tell me where you’re going?”
“No.”
“Damn Tim.” Tam cursed, “I mean, good for you, get some well deserved rest. When are you coming back?”
Tim avoided Tam’s gaze.
“You are coming back, right?”
“There is no plan for that for now.” Tim admitted.

Summary
"Odysseus was clever, but his vanity and ego would have killed him long before his return home if not for his wife.”
“Penelope?” Tim asked.
“Exactly, child, Penelope," his nanny smiled. "The men of Ancient Greece would have you believe that she was idle, waiting for her husband to come home and solve her problems, but this is far from the truth. For routine and ritual are not powerless things. In pouring her love for her son and husband into her weaving, she called out to the goddesses Hestia and Hera. Despite never lifting a finger in violence herself, Penelope saved her family.”
--
Tim finds that there are more ways to protect the Bats than just Robin. A little magic never hurt anyone, after all. -
