    Summary

    For Cass, body language is the first language, the best language, the language she’s most fluent in. But she’s not perfect. She doesn’t know everything, only what she sees, and this is what she sees: Bruce, reaching a hand toward Tim; Tim, frozen in terror and sorrow and resignation; everyone else, standing by and not seeming to notice or care. Cass isn’t going to let it happen, whatever Tim dreads. She sees him. And yet Tim doesn’t see Cass seeing him, right up until it might be too late to stop what’s starting.

    (An AU of my story "The Body Keeps the Score." Tim Drake has metahuman healing abilities and abusive parents. The Batfamily has no idea about either of those things… At least, at first.)

    Summary

    Gotham was literally cursed but no one believed Bruce. He took it upon himself to fix it and that solution came to him in the form of a little blue vial. Bruce was to take the curse within himself to temper it into something manageable. He didn't know for certain what the vial would do to him but that was inconsequential.

    He brought the vial to his lips.

    If anyone knew what he was doing, they would call him stupid and stop him but fortunately for Bruce, his family hasn't spoken to him for forever. There was no one here to stop him.

    He downed the liquid and woke up as his nine-year-old self.


    The hundred days dragged on like a hundred years. He was not even a third of the way complete and Bruce was already fraying at the seams. Why was this solitude so unbearable when he should be used to it? The world seemed so big and empty now that he was nine again and Bruce couldn't bear it

    Summary

    A clown, a criminal, and a stalker child get stuck in a bar.

    It sounds like the start of a bad joke. But that's not true. It's a terrible joke and the punchline is still coming.

     

    OR

    Tim Drake gets a weird uncle and crazy aunt, but that's cool with him. He's heard it's healthy for kids to get out of the house, and if it means he can hang out with Harley and Uncle Nygma, he's happy to do so when he needs a break from photographing Bats.

    Meanwhile, as some of the (less) insane members of the rogue gallery, Harley and Eddie realize it's up to them to make sure little Tim doesn't get kidnapped, murdered, or exploited by their peers while he runs around Crime Alley with his camera.

    Somehow, this is harder than running crime rings and evading the Bats.

    Summary

    After rescuing Bruce from floating around the past, Tim is Not Okay.
    What comes next after losing everything that really matters?
    Tim’s got some thoughts. So do the rest of the family.
    And Ra’s al Ghul.
    …And the Joker.

    Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”

    Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”

    Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”

    “FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”

    Summary

    During a mission gone wrong, Jason watches as his brothers were seized by a pendant, crushed into clouds of golden dust before disappearing into the air. Then, Jason too was seized by the pendant... but rather than being lost to the ever-shifting darkness that death was, Jason... wakes up?

    Oh dear god- again?!

    Summary

    While he's looking for Bruce, who's lost in the time stream, Tim gets cursed. If nobody tells him honestly that they love him in the next twelve months, he's going to die.

    After Bruce is saved Tim decides to keep this information to himself. Because nobody's ever really loved him, right? Except maybe his parents, in a power-hungry sort of way, but they're dead. And Tim would rather bow out quietly and without a fuss than have to deal with the Bats' pity.

    Summary

    Tim doesn't expect much after he's left for dead, bleeding out in the ruin that had once been Gotham. His family is dead, his friends as well, and there is nothing else to look forward to besides joining them in the beyond. Dying and delirious, he hangs on by a thread - Long enough for an offer to be made, a request for help and Tim has never been able to say no to that.

    He doesn't expect much and he certainly doesn't expect a second chance but it seems like Gotham doesn't let go easily of what they considers to be theirs.

    He dies and yet he doesn't. He dies but he lives.

    He dies and he is taken back, time unwinding, the clock set back and he is born into a new life. A new him, and at a point where he can change things for the better, if he can survive.


    Tahmid al Ghul (Wayne) is born in Spring 1997, as Heir of the Demon Head, as Ibn al Xu'ffasch - nearly twenty years before he died as Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne.

    He just hopes he will be able to survive growing up in the League of Assassins, and that he will be able to go back to his family once more.

    Summary

    Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
    A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.

    But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
    Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.

    Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
    Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"

    They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contriditory.

    Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.

    Summary

    About two years after Bruce returns from the timestream, everything is going pretty well. Then someone hacks the Batcomputer from afar, claiming to be Tim and in need of help. But there’s a problem: Tim’s dead. …Right?

    (When Tim was working to save Bruce from being lost in time, Ra's al Ghul found out about Tim's doomed clone experiments and had an idea. Of course, after Tim escapes and destroys much of the League of Assassins in the process, it takes a bit for Ra's to put his idea into practice, but late is better than never! At least, it's better for Ra's.)

    Summary

    Tim messed up, now he needs to fix it. He hurt his parents’ chances with one business partner, now he needs to help his parents with a different business partner. The fact that he gets hurt in the process has never been an issue. Then the “different business partner” turns out to be the Red Hood, AKA, the reason Tim hasn’t been allowed out as Robin for a month. That might be an issue.

    Summary

    "What the hell happened? I'm fuckin' tiny!" All Jason had on was his Wonder Woman shirt from earlier, and that was just barely staying on. Jason slumped against the wall, feeling the frustration bubble in his chest. He was tiny, injured, confused, nearly naked, and alone in an alley. This wasn't good.

    "I found him!" a voice shouted at the same time as light showered over Jason from above. He looked up quickly in shock. He knew that voice.

    'You have got to be kidding me.' Jason thought. The light lowered slightly and he saw the smiling face of the one and only Officer Dick Grayson above him.

     

    More Batfamily members shall appear later on!

    Summary

    "Did a two year old just outrun you?" Jason asked, wanting to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

    Bruce clenched his jaw. "I didn't want to hurt him." He growled.

    "Liar!" Tim piped up from under the desk.

    Jason was starting to like this version of his successor.

    -

    Tim gets turned into a toddler.

    He makes that everybody's problem.

    Summary

    Normally, when something really weird happens to the Batfamily, traveling through time or turning into animals or swapping bodies, they figure it out and pretty quickly move back into normal life. (Well, normal-for-them life at least.) But normally, when something really weird happens to them, it happens to them as their vigilante selves at night. It doesn't happen to the Wayne family in broad daylight and in public.

    When Dick, Cass, Jason, Tim, Duke, and Damian are physically de-aged and all of Gotham knows it, they must comply with the regulations that have been put into place for "civilians" during this sort of thing. That includes going to doctor's well-child check-ups, and to social worker visits, and, worst of all, to school. The whole thing will be a weird and confusing mess, and everybody is sure to hate it.

    (Everybody is sure to hate it, that is, except maybe Bruce, who is more confused than everyone but is experiencing having all his children around as actual children for the first time.)

    Summary

    Tim gets de-aged, and tells absolutely no one.

    He also, in no particular order, gets therapy, does a lot of crime, channels his inner cyberbully, steals another Batmobile, moves to Metropolis (temporarily), causes an Arkham breakout, gets kidnapped, kidnaps someone else, and accidentally becomes a supervillain somewhere along the way.

    Parental supervision is for losers.

    Summary

    Batman doesn’t know who the Joker is, where he came from, or what his goals are, beyond inflicting suffering. That means, when racing to save his Robin, his Jason, his son, from what appears to be the Joker’s trap, Bruce doesn’t know entirely what to expect. …Another man’s son, on the other hand, may or may not know exactly what to expect. The Joker teasingly calls himself Jack Napier, but his real name isn’t too far off: Jack Drake. And his son knows it all too well.
       OR
    Timothy Drake is Joker Junior, always has been, has never been able to say anything about it. Jason Todd is Robin, and he has a lot to say about Joker Junior.

    Summary

    Damian Al Ghul Wayne dies pathetically. Pathetically, but peacefully, with two brothers by his side and the voice of his father in his ear. He foolishly believes that he won't resurrect someway or another.

    Why. Why did he think that?

    Why, after all he's seen and heard to prove the absurdity of his family's track record? When he himself has swum out of the Pit, when Todd clawed out of his own grave, when Father has been miraculously returned thanks to Drake's renowned spite and need to prove that Father was indeed alive? He honestly should have known better than to think the universe felt anything but hate for him.

    Or: Damian dies and wakes up as a baby. As you can imagine, he's not particularly pleased about the baby part. Or that he's in a different dimension with no way to go back.

    The silver lining is that he now has the chance to be Bruce's only child (temporarily at least). But that's only after he gets out of the reach of Ra's Al Ghul because in case he forgot to mention, he woke up in the League.

    Fuck. How the hell is he going to survive Nanda Parbat and vigilantism all over again? He'd like to live past the age of thirteen this time.

    Summary

    “Bruce, this is not what you think it is,” Jason says into the cellphone a minute later. “You need to turn around, we’ve got a problem.”

    A fourth person, one immediately recognizable, is pictured on the final page. The last person is not facing the camera, instead they are intently staring at the blue of a computer screen.

    It is Jason's own head of black hair framed by the narrow lines of bookshelves, turned away and unaware.

    "A big one, can't emphasize that enough. You need to pick me up, now."

    Little handwriting, the kind that is halfway to cursive, lines the bottom of the photograph, and it's written in blue ink- maybe from a ballpoint pen.

    Please, be more careful.

    Summary

    Tim is more efficiency-, strategy-, and computer-based than the other Robins. He's paler, less athletic, less muscular, and generally has less training. He obviously just has other strengths. Right. Right?

    Tim is hiding his worsening chronic illness from himself, his teammates, and his family. And then he has to rebuild his life around something other than a secret no one else can find out about. Thankfully, he's not the only disabled hero in Gotham.

    Summary

    Jason has always thought of Tim Drake as a spoiled, stuck-up rich boy who thinks he's too good for anyone else. The kid never talks to anyone, after all.

    In hindsight, he should've known that wasn't it.
