Summary
It is a dreary day in Gotham when Tim finds out that Robin is dead. 51 hours later—with only 6 hours of scattered sleep in that time and enough caffeine in the twelve year old's veins to be medically worrying—Tim accepts the fact and decides to bring Robin back from the dead.
Two and a half months after that, the ink is still wet on the contract for his soul, traded so that Robin could have a new lease on life. -

Summary
Tim Drake died when Robin cut his line. There was no flag pole or ledge to catch himself on. No backup grapple at the ready. Lucky for him, Gotham has never been one to give up her soldiers. Now an undead that is permanently bound to Gotham as her protector, Tim learns the importance of self-worth. And that maybe his "family" isn't what's best for him.
-or-
Tim heard Jason joking about being a zombie and said, "hold my beer." Featuring semi-sentient Gotham.

Summary
AU where Tim Drake never became Robin. He chose instead to linger in the shadows, a silent, unseen guardian, watching over Gotham with the Dark Knight’s quiet approval. Years later, the Batfamily begins to wonder a subtle presence that has always been there, a shadow that moves unseen, connecting with them only when necessary, guiding without revealing itself through signs. Who is this ghost in the night, and what price does trust demand? Will Bruce ever tell them who this mysterious ally is, or must they discover it themselves?

Summary
When Ra's al Ghul pushed Tim Drake out of a window after he foiled his plots again, he did something and the vigilante disappeared. Six months later, and through a completely unrelated summoning to an alternate dimension's Sun God, Tim reappeared both five years older and part of the crew of the King of Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy.
Now stuck in his home dimension for a month until they can be sent back home, due to bullshit magic reasons, Tim has to face the Batfamily that he had left behind, reckon with a couple of old ghosts, and deal with Bruce Wayne's ever-increasing paranoia in the wake of his disappearance. Luckily, Tim is older, theoretically wiser, and knows that his crew has his back.
(And, in flashbacks, Tim grows into the pirate he is today: the Shadow of the King.)

Summary
Because Tim has an old, beat up car stolen from the garage, two backpacks worth of belongings, and a box of cheap face masks, and that is it. He’s left all of his vigilante equipment behind, stored safely in the cave, and he has no intention of going back for it. Going back for any of it really, because Tim loves his family, he really does, but he can’t stand the way they look at him now.
Like he’s something breakable, something they need to wear kid gloves around and treat like glass. Like Tim is another civilian they need to protect.
And it was only for a few days, but–
Tim isn’t going to get any better.
--
After being hospitalized for multiple weeks, Tim's first patrol back as Red Robin goes horribly wrong. As a result, he packs his bags and leaves Gotham, only leaving a note to explain himself, and drives until he doesn't feel so alone. -

Summary
After dying in the line of duty, Tim Drake wakes up in the past—thirteen years old, alive, and back in his childhood bedroom. Armed with the knowledge of everything to come, Tim chooses not to reveal himself to Bruce or the Batfamily. Instead, he disappears into the shadows of Gotham, becoming the nameless vigilante known only as Red. He works behind the scenes, subtly reshaping key events to give everyone a better future: saving Jason from death, bringing Cass home earlier, and protecting the Batfamily from the worst of what’s to come.
But time has a way of preserving tragedy.
When Duke Thomas loses his parents in a violent home invasion—different from the original timeline but just as devastating—Tim makes a drastic decision. At eighteen, he adopts Duke, becoming the guardian he wishes someone had been for him. Now legally responsible for a grieving teenager who barely speaks to him, and under public scrutiny for the shocking adoption, Tim must navigate media storms, Bats' suspicions, and the burden of rewriting the future—all without revealing who he really is.
He’s walked through Gotham’s shadows as a ghost long enough. But how long can a ghost keep his secrets before someone starts chasing them down?

Summary
After running from a foster family with their biological son, Damian Wayne, Dick was sure he’d be arrested. Or worse, killed by Ra's al Ghul.
Instead the world ended. Kinda.
The US Government Officials named it a virus; in reality it was a result of an unethical biomedical experiment.
As far as context goes, scientists had withheld information to individuals in the experimental group. Promising the pill they consumed would helping with weight loss, but inside the pill? A "trained" tapeworm.
Originally it had been a intestinal tapeworm, known parasites that absorb “nutrients being digested in the stomach.” Now they were "scientifically re-purposed" to absorb a certain amount of nutrients to prevent extreme weight loss. However, they hadn't expected the intestinal tapeworm find a way to travel to the brain.
The parasite should've destroyed the brain tissue, leaving both organisms dead. Instead, the parasite lives on as a host. Controlling the body in pursuit of more nutrients.
A zombie apocalypse, basically.

“Uh-huh. Sure. Okay.” Peter doesn’t know if it’s better to believe the stalker or not. “And what’s your deal, Tim? Why are you squatting on my fire escape like a raccoon?”
“I don’t know.”
Peter waits. “...You don’t know.”
“Not really. I just — ended up here.” Tim’s brow furrows. “You’re the only one who can see me, aren’t you?”
Or: Peter Parker is being haunted by an amnesiac ghost named Tim — who may or may not have once been a hero.

Summary
Tim Drake and Aaron Mariano grew up together, going through everything from Aaron's transition to new siblings to hero identities and relationships. And now they get to deal with an alternate universe filled with emotionally stunted versions of the people they love and care for.
“Oh, Timido, the cave in this world is boring as fuck. They either don’t have me, or their Bats still has that stick up his ass.”
“Why can't it be both?” he laughed, “alright, let me just get over there so we can figure out how to get home.”
“Please do, their Damian looks fresh from the League, don’t want to go through that shit again,” I mock pleaded. Though seriously, I’ve been stabbed by that little demon enough for a lifetime.
