Summary
"I came back because…I didn't have any other option. There was nothing left for me there.” No one. Not a single soul. Just Tim, somehow still left. He doesn't know why he's the one who survived. “Nothing—nothing really left at all. The whole planet was a wasteland as far as we could tell."
-- --
Tim's world ends. He tries to go back to fix it, but that means seeing everyone he loves alive again and dealing with the lack of recognition in their eyes. -

Summary
“How will I know you’re not going to just kidnap me?” Dick asked, gripping his escrimas tighter.
“I don’t know, Grayson,” Slade sighed, impatient. “I have something to show you, you can either come with me to see it or not. The choice is yours.”
But it wasn’t a choice at all, was it? Whatever Slade had to show Dick was something serious and something he deeply cared about and they both knew it.

Summary
Tim knew Jason was alive, there was no body, thus no proof of death. He knew Jason was alive, because somewhere out there in the wide depth of the multiverse, he knew his spark still shone. He knew this to be true, and he was going to find him. He was going to prove that he wasn't losing his mind (even if it felt like it) that he could do this.
But what will he do now that he found a way to travel to a whole other universe? Will he find his way to Jason? Will he be able to go home again? Will Jason even want to come with him? And why is he starting to lose so much time again?
But more importantly, who are all these people that seem so set on making sure he is ok? He's fine. Completely fine. Even if the voices are getting worse and he feels a bit like he is breaking. He'll be fine, he just needs to get Jason home. Then everyone can be normal again.
Or: the Tim focused sequel about found family and rekindling bonds. A character study into trauma, and a deep dive into Tim and Jason's complicated sibling bond.
Follow up to Stray Little Bat (but works as a stand alone). Going to be super slow to update until SLB is done, but I wanted to get it in chronologically.

Summary
One of Gotham City’s iconic “Robins”, Tim Drake was transported to a strange medieval world with no memory of how he arrived. Mistaken for a rebel soldier by the Imperial Legion, he found himself facing execution in the town of Helgen. His life was ultimately spared not by mercy or justice, but by the cataclysmic appearance of a black dragon that razed the town of Helgen and left him with agonizing physical and psychological wounds.
As he struggles to survive in this new land of Skyrim, Tim's main goal is to find a way home. However, this mission is continually derailed by the needs of the locals, his own near crippling injuries, and the looming threat of the dragon he had the misfortune to survive.

Summary
In a shattered future, haunted by the memory of a family he couldn't save, Tim Drake is ready to let go. But his end is interrupted by two other broken heroes, Adrien Agreste and Mark Grayson, boys who lost everything in their own worlds. They are all, in a way, already dead.
A miracle, a desperate wish on a mysterious artifact, grants them a second chance. They are ripped from their dying moments and thrust into the past, into the bodies of 8-year-old boys. They are found and adopted by Janet and Jack Drake, whose wealth provides a roof, but whose emotional neglect makes their house a cold, new kind of prison.
Trapped together, they form a fragile, desperate brotherhood. They are a team of ghosts with a single mission: to prevent the future that haunts them all. They must navigate a toxic home while saving the family they never had, not just from outside threats, but from the echoes of their own pasts. Their journey is a fight for a future they thought they'd lost, and for a family forged in sorrow, but bound by hope.

Summary
Bernard Dowd was, frankly, lucky to have survived the Dionysus pain cult quest. Lucky him, he got to be the event depicted on the camp bead. Unlucky him, that means when Percy takes up a quest that puts him in Gotham City, Bernard ends up on his list of 'people to ask to take up the quest'.
Well. Bernard is done with quests. No more. Not ever again. Just chilling with his boyfriend, getting through college, and living in a Godless city as a demigod on his agenda. He will absolutely not, under any circumstances, go questing.

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.

She looked at him. Really looked at him.
Nightwing was trembling. She could see the quivering of his shoulders now. The grave expression he had on, she now spotted, was just a mask for how scared he really was.
But… why?
“There— there are some— some people,” he went on to say, “They’re after us to r— rape my little brother and I— I can’t fight them while carrying him too. I need— I need your help. Please.”

Summary

It's then that Joker Junior realises how he knows her, she knows it too. as a smile creeps up her lips as she sees his eyes widen. She pulls something from her pocket, a grenade. She then spits a glowing green orb out of her mouth and laughs, as she does so the guard becomes much more alert. Though it doesn't matter. Her bun falls into a braid reaching down to the floor. She opens the top of the grenade, placing the orb inside as it changes to a teal. “Now the fun starts” she muses, as she pulls the trigger and the room goes up in a cloud of blue.’

Summary
“I was— I was— Red Hood p— pressed the kn— knife to my throat again and I— I—”
“Shhh, it’s alright.”
“I thought I was going to die. There was b— blood everywhere and I couldn’t—”
Bruce gripped him tightly. “You’re alright, Tim. You’re safe now. You’re safe.”
“I—” Tim wriggled out of Bruce’s hold, needing to see him again, when someone else caught his attention.
Over near the doorway, Jason stood. His brows were knitted together in worry. He looked guilty and horrified, and at the same time, like he wanted to help but was hesitating.
But all Tim could see were his glinting green eyes.

The Time I Got Clickbaited By A Cat by quotidian_void
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Red Robin (Comics)

Tags
Summary
The title says it all. Tim got clickbaited by a cat into reliving his greatest fear.
~
“Mrrr,” she pointed at a tent. It was the Horror House. One of the worst scary businesses in Gotham. Toddler parties happened there.
“Why did you take me to—” Tim widened his eyes. “Hang on a minute.” He pulled out his wrist holo-computer and looked up his location. “Fucking hell, T. You led me right at the edge of Fort Clinton!” He turned to glare at the cat. “You want me to get fear-gassed?”
T smiled. Creepily.
“Riiiight,” Tim narrowed his eyes. “Well, it’s been fun and all, but, uh, I really need to get home.” He took a step back. “I know you’re a smart one, so you can probably take care of yourself. Don’t hold it against me for what I’m about to do.” He broke into a run.
T wasn’t any old mangy cat. Tim, through his love for cats and the distracting growing pile of dread in his stomach, had been ignoring all the warning signs. Cats that can understand what a human is saying on the first meeting and can lead directions? That was a neon sign saying danger.
Tim was right, Damian would be jealous. Jealous of his utter blissful naivety.

Tim’s mind raced. If they could manipulate the past, they could manipulate the future. The timeline wasn’t fixed—events could be rewritten. He could rewrite them.
For the first time since the explosion, a sliver of hope cut through the haze of grief.

Summary
Jason doesn’t like how Tim has gone limp, how his lidded eyes are staring unseeing at a point in the middle distance. How he’s just sort of… accepting whatever’s happening to him.
Well, at least it’s making Jason’s job easier. He works his way up to the neck clamp (he refuses to even think the word collar), reaching in before he can hesitate. He makes quick work of the lock, and the clamp clicks open. It takes Tim a second to realize, but when he registers that he’s free, he’s up. Literally, his newly freed wings flap and he ascends. Shit, so those aren’t just for show.
or:
Tim has been missing for three months, lost in his desperate attempts to rescue Bruce.
He comes back... different.
