    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.

    Summary

    Your world is gone. Your life is forfeit. Those are two things I cannot change, the voice warned him gently. I can give you another version of your family. But I must tell you, this world and the people you will see won't be the same. A silent death may be better than this fate.

    Once, Tim had dreamt of silent death. Once, Tim had yearned for unearned peace.

    Tim didn’t speak, and still the voice sighed. I see. I will choose a good world for you. You will fall in love with it. It will break your heart. It spoke with certainty that rang with great weight. Do you still want it?

    Tim thought of family. Of loneliness. Of all that lay in between.

    Forcibly, painfully, Tim parted his lips. Breath rattled free, and he croaked out, “Yes.”

    Oh, child, it mourned, and then a hand pressed against his chest and a scream ripped free from his body. Like the howling of a beast.

    ***

    Tim's family, planet, and universe are destroyed in a matter of years. He dies, too, in the end, but is given a second chance at existence in a different world. A world where Damian is the first Robin and everything is backwards.

    He takes it.

    Summary

    Wayne Manor has stood almost as long as Gotham itself. From the outside, it looks like a haunted house: all dark stone and shadows with lives of their own.
    Every so often, someone “has to ask” about the rumors that the building is haunted. A nosy reporter. A drunken socialite. A paranormal YouTuber.
    Outwardly, Bruce Wayne laughs them off, dismissing the idea out of hand. It's not his secret to tell.
    The reality is that Wayne Manor is much warmer and more welcoming to those who reside there than it is to outsiders. Laughter echoes through the halls. Little faces peer out of the windows, waiting to welcome him home.
    That's not to say there are no ghosts.
    But they don't haunt the Manor.
    They make it a home.

    ***

    Bruce somehow finds himself parenting some very traumatized ghost kids. And an equally traumatized living child. Sometimes family is a billionaire, a butler/dad, a gaggle of ghost children, a toddler assassin, and a weird, drunk, magic uncle.

    Summary

    What if the Wayne's from Tim's world took Jason's death a little harder? What if they were too hardened by their grief to let him in and set him strictly as an employee, not their family?

    Tim Drake knows he's not part of the batfamily and any fleeting hope of that was crushed when Jason Todd, Tim's Robin, returned from the dead and reenforced what the Waynes had been telling him all these years. They might have warmed up to the boy, but he was not and would never be a part of the Wayne family.

    All this to say, when it's Tim's birthday, he goes out on a drug bust to catch a new player in Gotham. Alone. Which ultimately leads to said new player killing the freshly 15 year old. Tim did not expect to wake up. Especially not floating in the bedroom of 10 year old Jason Todd.

    Well, death didn't seem to be sticking anymore. Tim's in for a wild ride.
