Summary
After a run-in with some hi-tech goons, Tim wakes up in a universe where Bruce enjoys his company. Where Jason never died, where Dick never gave Robin to a murderous Demon Brat who, it seemed, wasn’t even around.
He goes to sleep, happy.
And wakes up back in his original world, where he feels like a ghost among the living, forgotten and cold and alone.
The one where Tim switches between worlds whenever he falls asleep.
COMES WITH ART! And now a podfic!

Summary
in some ways it was a gift from the universe to bring Tim Drake and Bruce Wayne together. In other ways it was a cruel joke; to make the man who can barely say ‘I love you’ the father of a boy whose biggest fear is being unloved.

Summary
With a loud thud, Tim felt all the air being forced out of his lungs as his ribs crunched under his weight. Pain radiated through his body as he felt his skull hit the ground with tremendous force. His teeth sunk into his bottom lip, splitting it open as he crashed to the ground. The sound of clanging pipes echoed through the alley, accompanied by a loud ringing in Tim’s ears.
He laid there, breathless and winded, desperately hoping that he and Blonde Hair would make it out alive. Eventually Tim managed to stumble to his feet, but Blonde Hair was nowhere to be seen.
He tried to push himself off the ground, but the pain seared through him. The only thing that kept him afloat was the thought of his emergency beacon. Fumbling around, he finally managed to push it with the last bit of strength he had.
Tim heard strikingly familiar boots heading towards him as his vision went blurry. Boots that haunted his nightmares.
“Well, look what the Bat dragged in.” said a muffled cold voice as darkness pulled him in. “Hey, you can’t sleep here. This is a no sleeping zone. Red? Red!”

Summary
"You've acquired a child" Arthur says in a weird tone and Bruce blinks "Wait whose kid is that?" Oliver is glancing over the room like he thinks someone else is going to appear out of thin air and claim Tim. Against his own common sense Bruce clutches Tim closer, the four-year-old shifting into a more comfortable position in his lap.
"Daddy, blanket" Tim murmurs, tugging on his cape for emphasis as the room goes unnaturally quiet. Bruce doesn't respond verbally, too busy assessing his coworkers confusing reactions as he wraps Tim carefully in his cloak, the little boy promptly smushes his face back into Bruce's chest.

Summary
“So when did-” Tim tried after a moment of silence, but was quickly cut off by a loud;
“No- no put that-!” before the line cut off, Tim’s shoulders slumping slightly as he stared at his reflection in the black screen.
“Yeah, bye dad; have fun in freaking Singapore,” he huffed, already shaking off the disappointment in favour of entering Business Mode as he straightened up; opening his keypad and punching in the numbers for his preferred cab.
“Mhm, yes. Thank you, Bruce, for that titbit of wisdom,” Tim paused at the at the new, strangely familiar voice, turning to take a pick peak before his head shot back towards his screen; brain short-circuiting.
That was Jason Todd. As in Bruce Waynes Jason Todd. Bruce Wayne as in Batman. Meaning Jason Todd as in Robin.

Tim gets ditched at school and Jason had detention. They bro out together, basically.

Summary
It’s Christmas Eve, and Tim’s parents have brought him along to a party for the first time ever. It’s a great opportunity for Tim, a way to show that he’s grown-up and can be trusted at important events. If only the party didn’t go so late into the night, so Tim could stay awake. Fortunately, Tim has found the perfect hiding place to take a quick nap. Somewhere that’s comfortable, and cozy, and smells like pine…
And that’s where Mr. Wayne and Jason find him the next morning.
