    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    And just like that, his three little brothers were asleep on him. All safe in his embrace. Part of him wanted to cocoon them in here and never let them leave. Never let Gotham lay her hands on them again. He wanted to stay in this little bubble they had created twenty six floors above the Gotham streets.

    Hearing their heart beats, feeling their soft breaths against his skin, all Dick thought was how could he possibly have destroyed this?
    -------
    Vampire King Dick Grayson nearly got what he wanted, a world plunged into darkness and all the power he could harvest. But then he’s pulled into a different world, one where Dick Grayson is dead and his grieving family is torn to shreds. One where there is all the power for the taking but one glance at his younger brother, Tim, the one who he killed has him faltering. Is all the power worth killing him again?

    Summary

    Bruce is a mess when Tim first shows up. He's ruthless and relentless. Certainly not the Batman that Tim knows. So, Tim decides to step in. He'll become Robin. He won't replace Jason. That's something he knows he'll never be able to do. But he'll fulfill the need for a Robin.

    Tim knows he's nothing more than a placeholder. Still, he wishes that Batman would accept him. He wishes Bruce would accept him. He can dream. He does dream. But he always wakes up. And he wakes up to a Batman that wants his son back.

    Or: Tim fulfills the need for a Robin and takes the brunt of Batman at his worse. Later down the line, Bruce wonders if he'll ever be able to fix the damage he's done to Timothy Drake.

    Summary

    Tim didn't ask to be thrown headfirst into the wizarding world. Technically, he was asked, and technically, he said yes. Now he's stuck trying to solve this Voldemort problem, get these kids some therapy, and figure out what is wrong with all the adult wixen in this backwater school called Hogwarts.
    ft. Tim being overly competent at some things and completely unaware of other things, Harry being allowed to be angry because his life is fucked-up, Ron not just being the dumb comic relief character, Sirius's drinking problems, Dumbledore's leadership problems, house-elves being inherently fucked-up, various OCs to shake things up a bit, wixen with disabilities, bisexual Tim Drake, and, of course, Luna Lovegood, the ever-present sunshine in this horrible, horrible world
    Content warnings can be found at the end of each chapter.
