    Summary

    The class begins to fill up and Jason resigns himself to the fact that he's probably going to have to deal with some rich kid with attitude issues and no appreciation for literature.
    What he gets is a shrimp of a kid in a too-big blazer and even larger blue eyes.
    Fuck, he looks like a tiny bird.
    "Hi?" says Jason awkwardly and the kid lights up like a firecracker.
    "Hi!" He takes the seat next to Jason on the long desk and he's so small, Jesus Christ is this what B had felt when he'd seen Jason trying to jack his car tires?
    Like, this kid is definitely not supposed to be here so you get the overwhelming urge to wrap them in a blanket and feed them soup?
    Is this normal?
    Does everyone randomly feel the need to adopt a kid in their English class on the first day of the new school year?

    Tim Drake doesn't know what to expect when he starts as a freshman at Gotham Academy as an eleven-year-old but becoming friends with Jason Todd Wayne—Robin—was not part of the plan.

    Sanguine Clouds Through Hazy Thought by

    Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types  

    10 Oct 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    As he meandered through the hallways, he barely acknowledged the whispers until two words caught his ear.

    “Gutter rat.”

    He turned from his course and walked straight to the freshman douche who said it. Without hesitation or thought, he pulled his fist back and punched him.

    It was the same punch Jason taught him how to use.

    He punched him again. Then he couldn’t stop. All he could hear was the sound of fist on flesh. All he could see was blood pooling under his fists.

    Someone pulled him away, but the haze of anger and grief still stayed. He didn’t struggle. Numb to his bones.

    He wondered if this was how Jason had felt, in that warehouse before he died.

    Summary

    “Why are you doing this? "

    Red Robin looked at him from above the Riddler, "What?"

    “Help us. You don't want to be here. We could help you get back to your time. "

    "No. I have to be here. One week to go. "

    "A week for what?" he asked, in frustration.

    “You told us you're here to avoid the worst moment in Batman's life, the one that will almost drive him crazy and shit like that. You didn't tell us what it will be, though. "

    "You don't need to know."

    Jason snorted, “Don't need to know? We're talking about what will turn Batman from a semi-decent parenting figure into a total bastard. Of course, it is necessary."

    "For your good, you better not know."

     

    -------------------------

    There's a new vigilante in Gotham, and he's from the future. Jason doesn't know what to think of Red Robin, but nobody should look so sad.

    Summary

    "I'm not going to ask you why you're out here, kid," Jason nods. "That's your business and you don't know me or Dick to trust us."

    Not true. Tim trusts Jason Todd and Dick Grayson with his life. Just not with, the other stuff.

    "But," Jason continues, "if you want to tell me what got you here, or you just want to talk about anything, you can, with me. Dick too. He's an annoying ray of sunshine that won't ever shut up most of the time, but he is actually a good listener. I'd know."

    OR

    When Tim's parents find out Tim's secret, they kick him out. Now, on Thanksgiving, Tim is living on the streets and is thankful for the two strangers currently saving him from getting his face pounded into the pavement. Wait...those aren't strangers...

    Summary

    The thing is, Tim is old enough now to know that most parents don't leave their ten-year-old children alone for weeks at a time. He's aware that almost all of his classmates actually see their parents more during the summer break.

    He even thinks skipping your kid’s birthday three years in a row might not be normal.

    He's just not old enough to do anything about it.

    Summary

    At first glance Thomas was sure the victim was already long gone, just a burned, mangled husk attached to tubes and wires. But he was shocked to see that the heart monitor was slowly beeping. “What happened?” Thomas immediately questioned. “There was an explosion in an abandoned building around Park Row. He was found in the rubble. He was resuscitated on the scene and coded once in the ambulance. Aside from severe burns, broken bones and trauma the worst injury seems to be a wound at his throat caused by a sharp object.” They rattled off more information as Thomas quickly prepped for surgery. Every second was going to have to count to save this one.

    or

    Jason dies in the explosion after his throat is cut by Batman's batarang. But somehow he wakes up he in an alternate universe where Thomas and Martha Wayne didn't die, and Bruce never became Batman. Lost and alone Jason struggles with his injuries and his own existence, but the Waynes are determined to help him every step of the way. Jason finds himself the pseudo older brother to a teenage Dick and a baby Damian. Little do the Wayne's know that Jason has a knack for "adopting" kids. He starts with his own tiny counterpart.

    Summary

    Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.

    She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.

    “Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.

    “You long to go back.”

    “Yes.”

    “For a different outcome.”

    Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”

    “I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”

     

    Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

    Summary

    The shadow is a silhouette on the edge of the roof. She can’t see his eyes behind the blank white lenses of his cowl, but she can feel the cunning weight of his gaze as it rakes over her, a pair of predators recognizing one another. She keeps her posture relaxed. She looks back at him with steady eyes.

    She is not prey.

    She will not allow the kind boy behind her to be prey either.

    Summary

    He tapped the screen again, his face up close in the zoomed camera.

    "Whoa, ultra Tim-vision, no thank you. I think I just saw my pimple's pimple. Gross." He zoomed out and grinned at himself. "I don't know if I have ever felt so freaking happy or strong or cool, or well, anything, in my whole entire life."

    And it was true. Standing atop a building as Robin. If someone were to look up, they would definitely think he was the real deal and the thought left him beaming. Jumping in place, Tim gave another whoop, punching the air and then bending over into a fit of high pitched laughter. This was all the joy he would ever need for the rest of his existence.

    And then someone screamed.

    OR,

    Tim Drake puts together a very realistic Robin costume for Halloween and gets mistaken for the real deal.

    Summary

    “I have a great idea!” Dick looks at Jason reluctantly as he continues. “We should prank him! We do it all the time to each other and I'm sure he’ll talk then.”

    Dick swung his legs off the top of the couch to sit right up and look at him. “I don't know Jay, we don't know him that well, he might not like it.” Jason shakes his hand in a dismissive way.
    “Nothing big, just a small practical joke. I'm sure it will loosen up some of the tension.”

    “...I guess but what would we do?”

    Jason and Dick decide to prank Tim, their next door neighbour who has come to live with them but it doesn't go as planed.

    “Miss Gordon? What are you doing out in this weather?”

    “The Drake heater's broken,” she stammered, sniffling. “I tried to tell them there was a problem, but they didn't listen to me. I tried my best, but today it's so cold, and Tim has a high fever, there's no medicine, I don't know what to do and..."

    “Barbara?” a familiar voice interrupted her. Dick was immediately next to Alfred, and his eyes widened at the sight of Tim, "That's..."

    “Yes, it's Tim Drake. He is sick. Do you want us to stay outside the door or can we come in?” she blurted out, irritated.
    --

    Barbara believed that working for a wealthy Bristol couple was an easy job that wouldn't stop her from being Batgirl at night, despite her father's wishes. She hadn't reckoned with the Drakes.

    Babs sees a little face over her crossword puzzle and a pair of impossibly light blue eyes looking at her. She jolts, clutching her chest.

    15-year-old Babs has never needed validation from anyone, but... Batman's latest words to her have left her spiraling. It would be a good time for a mental health break, if not for the men trying to kidnap 5-year-old Timothy Drake while she's babysitting him.

    Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU  

    21 Jul 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    For a long time, Tim doesn’t know his parents are dead. Maybe that makes him a bad son, for not knowing. When he reads about death, or when he watches people die in movies, their loved ones always know. There’s a gasp of pained revelation, an instinctual loss.

    Tim doesn’t feel that. He wouldn’t have noticed at all, except for that he likes to keep track of the things going on in the places where his parents visit. Sometimes, it means he can ask leading questions, on their mostly-weekly phone calls, and Janet will spiral off into some tangent about these people and their lack of work ethic, and she’ll talk for minutes on end before realizing she’s still on the phone, getting bored, and then ending the call. So he keeps an alert system on his phone, for news, so they have some topics in common to talk about. It’s only luck he sees the article before anyone else does.
