Summary
“I just—”
The words dissolve into wet coughing, blood spilling from his lips.
And for the first time in his life, he has all of them listening.
All of them looking at him.
All of them seeing him.
“I just wanted to be loved,” Tim chokes out.
The world stops.
His family freezes in horror.
Tim’s eyes burn, tears slipping sideways into his hair.
“Was that too much to ask for?”
No one answers.
Those are Tim Drake’s last words.Or

Summary
When Tim runs into a rogue magic-user on patrol, the family is left to care for a child version of him while he slowly returns to his normal age as the spell wears off. The close proximity and the chance to see different sides of Tim provide opportunities for reflection and reconciliation (and a lot of cute pictures).

Summary
“I am not here to give you flattery or gentle words; I am here to address the near-irreparable harm that has been enacted in the name of ignorance and fear. Together, we are here to unveil the Embassy which will, I earnestly hope, be the first step in repairing that harm. This path may be difficult and its steps treacherous,” Daniel paused, “but we will walk it together. For the good of the We-Who-Are-Infinite as much as for you, One-Among-Many.”
“Now,” and here his smile turned wide and wry, his hands rising in front of him as if to cup the air, “I give to you our Embassy.”
His cupped hands fell open in a gesture like a blooming lotus.
The camera flickered and then - there was, in truth, the Embassy.

Maybe it was the lightheadedness from Blood loss, or perhaps it was the exhaustion catching up to him from the past couple of weeks, but he felt like crying.
He wasn't scared of death itself, of course not. But he felt so utterly alone. He had died many times, but not once was someone by his side when it happened.
Or
Tim never stays dead for long and never bothered to tell anyone about it. While bleeding out on a rooftop he allows himself one single act of selfishness and calls someone, he didn't think would care.Unfortunately he severely underestimated just how much he is loved. And the Bats will make damn sure he never forgets it again.

Summary
Tim Drake has known what he was since he was young.
Janet Drake never did anything to try and hide his parentage. Didn’t even try to hide her infidelity from his father. Not that his father seemed to care all that much. They were both distant. But even that wasn’t even that different from before. Didn't try to hide the way her belly was bulging when they came back from Greece.
Janet hadn’t had to tell Tim about his heritage. It was hard to hide given his…well. His everything. His eyes tended to give things away even when he’s trying to hide. The too-clear blue like a sunny sky with no reprieve. And he’s accidentally drawn the Truth from many people without trying. Just because of his eyes.
His mother could never lie to him. No-one could, actually.Series

As the threads become more tangled and people start to get hurt, Tim is forced to reckon with a secret he's kept since before he can remember and his complex relationship with the woman who raised him.

Summary
He was in his room, in the manor, and it was messy, but not the mess it should be. Instead of broken glass from breaking the mirror in a fury, there were clothes strewn about the room. Instead of a bloody Red Robin suit on the bed from the last time he wore it two weeks ago, there were crumbled bed sheets and his laptop at the base. He couldn’t remember the last time he worked in this room on that thing.
So does that mean-?
He took a sharp intake of breath, suddenly doing a self-inventory. Bruce always taught them to check for injury when waking up in a strange and unusual place. Only this wasn’t a strange and unusual place, was it?Or
Tim lost everyone and everything, so in a desperate attempt to fix things he calls on an old friend to send him back in time to save his family. Only problem is there's a price, but he is willing to pay anything to get them back.

Summary
Robin is gone and Batman is starting to fall apart.
Tim Drake decides that since no one else is going to fix Gotham, he will have to do it himself.
If Batman is spiralling without Robin, then Tim will become Robin.
If Nightwing resents Bruce for taking on another sidekick, then Tim will need to prove him wrong by creating a new identity and becoming Nightwing’s sidekick too.
And if a new crime lord holds a grudge against Robin, then Tim will simply become someone else, earn his trust, and find out what he's planning.
It's brilliant, in theory. All he has to do is deceive arguably the best detectives on the planet whilst somehow being in multiple places at once without anyone connecting the dots.
OR: Tim Drake creates multiple vigilante identities and lies to everyone he knows, whilst desperately trying not to get caught as himself.

Summary
"He pulls out a knife, relishing in the sound it makes as he plunges it into her abdomen, her chest, her throat. Blood spills out of her in a rush, gurgling like a stream, pouring onto the ground.
She’s crying, tears in her eyes as she grasps against her killer, trying and failing to gain any purchase to defend herself.
He leaves her in the dirt, watching as the light drains from her eyes. Watching as everything turns red red red."
_____
When a series of murders occurs surrounding high school students, Tim finds himself at the center of it...
As a suspect.
In order to clear his name, he finds himself diving deeper into the mystery, where he soon realizes he’s the target of something much bigger than himself.
