Summary
The old man turned to him in shock at his hurried entrance. "Master Tim? What's the matter?"
Tim— Tim didn't know. It was too much. Too many things at once. He didn't know where to start. What if Jason was going to die? What if Bruce was already dead? He didn't know. This was too big, this was—
Facts. He just needed the facts.
Fact #1. "Batman's comms and cowl footage went static," Tim said.
Fact #2. "Nightwing and the others are looking for him, but he and Spoiler are caught up in a fight."
Fact #3. "Jason has a fever of 104."
Fact #4. "There's no one in the manor available except us two."

Summary
Timothy Drake was six years old when everyone forgot him and nothing was the same after that
***
I love you, Tim told his parents without words. Look at me, he begged a world that would never know his name. "Who are you?" Batman loomed over him, his very existence nothing to the man who meant everything to him.Tim turned around and ran.
He was forgotten again, just the lost wisp of a boy racing across the streets of a city too big for his tiny feet. Everything burned, from the back of his eyes to the hollow place in his chest, and he kept running. He ran and ran until his feet ached and his mind couldn’t keep up and the stars stopped mocking him. He didn’t know how far he ran. He didn’t know how he got back home to an empty manor where no one greeted him and no one missed him.
He flopped backwards onto his bed and stared up at his ceiling. “I made a friend,” he whispered, and nobody heard him. The universe spun and spun, and Tim was lost to its endless spiral.

The Future Is Set In (Eroding) Stone by quotidian_void

Summary
It was a normal enough night. Nothing was out of the ordinary during patrol and no major rogues had been spotted. Everyone was home and at ease. It was quiet, pleasant and calm.
So no one had given a second thought when Bruce disappeared into the medbay, muttering about getting an aspirin for a headache. That was the first sign.
He was in his Batman suit despite the fact that they had already changed half an hour ago. That was the second sign that they all missed.
Tim should have known something was up. Then maybe, what happened next could have been avoided.
OR
Gun Batman (Evil Tim from the future) comes back.

Summary
"Hey," Robin said softly. "It's okay."
It wasn't. It wasn't okay. Tim ruined everything. Now Robin was going to think that he was weird. His (hopeful) future interactions would be tainted. Tim could never see Robin in the eye again.
Tears welled up in his eyes and his throat closed in on itself. He stumbled backwards, his heart beating quick and hard against his ribs.
"Hey. Kid, you okay?” Robin looked at him worriedly. “Please don’t cry. I promise it’s okay.”
Tim mutely shook his head. He curled into himself, gripping the side of his arms tightly, trying to remember what it was like to breathe, cheeks burning hot with shame.
He was an embarrassment.

Summary
Damian Wayne was the single worst thing to happen to Tim. He didn’t ask for any of this. This little demon barged into his life without consent and yanked him down into a death spiral of love, hate, and lust.
While most of the Bat gang are away, Tim and Damian are left behind to hold down the fort. Surely Tim can wrangle his problematic feelings under control.

Summary
It's not as weird as it could be, considering literally everything. He's not sure if you can ever really get used to meeting yourself, but if that's possible, Tim is.
It's of course still strange to look into your own eyes-except they're not his own because this boy is nine and Tim is 18.
The silence ticks on and they don't break eye contact.
Or:
When a magician makes a young Tim appear out of thin air, the only one who seems to avoid him is Tim himself. It raises some very uncomfortable questions.
