Summary
It was close to midnight when Jason's book dropped.
Not purposefully. His hand went slack and the paperback hit the couch cushion, and his head tipped back, and he was asleep in the particular way of someone whose body has simply stopped cooperating with their will. Tim looked at him for a moment—the long line of his throat, the slight furrow still present between his brows even in sleep—and felt something he'd spent a long time learning not to examine directly.
He turned off the kitchen light and went back to Calvino.
The nightmare started forty minutes later.JayTim Week 2026- Day 9- Nightmares & Hallucinations

Summary
Tim would like to reiterate that his family's support for Damian gender identity was the bare minimum, except he absolutely refused for the the thought of Tim copying his (literal) backstabbing demon of a younger sibling to even cross the mind of anyone. He would not be announcing the fact that he, too, is transgender.
If he came out to Bruce, the chances are Bruce would get him testosterone within the next month, and top surgery consultations within the next week. He'd probably even organise bottom surgery in a couple of years if Tim wanted it.
However that would require the key step of telling Bruce.
Ew.
That was an unnecessary step. Tim could do this himself.
OR
Coming out is optional, and Tim decides to pick the option of “let everyone else figure it out by themselves,” so he goes and does his own hrt and top surgery and stuff

Summary
“I am not here to give you flattery or gentle words; I am here to address the near-irreparable harm that has been enacted in the name of ignorance and fear. Together, we are here to unveil the Embassy which will, I earnestly hope, be the first step in repairing that harm. This path may be difficult and its steps treacherous,” Daniel paused, “but we will walk it together. For the good of the We-Who-Are-Infinite as much as for you, One-Among-Many.”
“Now,” and here his smile turned wide and wry, his hands rising in front of him as if to cup the air, “I give to you our Embassy.”
His cupped hands fell open in a gesture like a blooming lotus.
The camera flickered and then - there was, in truth, the Embassy.
***
or,Nothing is as simple as a single rescue, and nothing is without consequence. Red Robin learns as much when he is roped into an ambassadorship for the Living. If he's lucky, he'll navigate the politics, raids, and even social media - and land himself a diplomatically fraught boyfriend while he's at it.

Summary
For fifteen years, Gotham has been divided cleanly down the middle.
The Drakes own the west side. The Todds own the east.
An uneasy peace has held between Jack Drake and Willis Todd for years, their empires running parallel through Gotham’s underworld without crossing lines.
Then a briefcase with Maroni fingerprints all over it lands on Jack Drake’s desk, and suddenly the two most dangerous crime families in the city are forced into an alliance.
Tim Drake is the polished heir to the Drake empire: precise, intelligent, and professionally lethal. Jason Todd is Willis Todd’s brutal enforcer son with a reputation Gotham whispers about in back rooms.
Their fathers built empires.
Tim and Jason are expected to inherit them

Summary
The dead greet the living.
We are those who wait at the end of all existence. We are those whose outstretched palm grasps infinity. We are the unchanging conclusion. We are your reflection and your foil.
You are the infant, new from the cradle. You are they who sit upon our palm. You are the delicate assembly of experience and change. You are the unfolding entropy.
We greet you on the knife’s-edge of the Balance that you have broken. We seek that which you have taken and sundered. We reach, now, from within that palm, to correct your blind fumbling.
Summon your counsel. Await our arrival.The comms were silent. The snowing sensation had resolved within Tim’s mind but it was still there, a banked presence that he could reach for, and when he did, he heard the message again. His breathing came faster and harder.
Jason was the first to react.“What the fuck?”
***
Or,
The Justice League has missed something catastrophic and tragic in equal measure.
Good thing this is just the sort of mystery Red Robin likes to sink his claws into.

Summary
Gotham has a crime rate that rivals its population count, police sirens are familiar background noise, and people learn not to ask too many questions.
Dick Grayson and Tim Drake don't ask too many questions either.
About the gray rabbit who sulks over bread.
About the black cat who looks at them like he's plotting something.
About why things in the apartment sometimes move on their own.
They just think they're keeping pets.
They're not entirely wrong. -

Summary
Tim Drake would lie. Tim would cheat, blackmail, and manipulate his way through every corridor of power in Gotham’s rotting institutional framework.
He would steal Superman’s Phantom Zone schematics, fabricate eighteen months of research documentation, and open a correspondence with Ra’s al Ghul and mean every word of it.
Bruce Wayne’s model of Batman had failed. Thirty years of dead children, fourteen Arkham breakouts, and a city scarred by a war with no way out.
Tim was 26. He had been fighting wars since he was 13. He would go further than Bruce Wayne ever would, become CEO of Wayne Enterprises, and build a city that didn’t need Batman.
Tim would burn the cape itself if it meant he could finally retire.
(One exhausted Tim Drake who is absolutely not becoming Ra’s al Ghul and is very concerned that he might be.)

Summary
Tim Drake never became Robin, Tim Drake never joined up with Batman, never took over Wayne Enterprises. Instead, he brought Drake Industries to power, brought it to what it is today, and he'll do anything to keep his company intact.
Anything. Even bribing a journalist or two.

Summary
Tim ducks behind a pillar, chest heaving, breath catching in the back of his throat. God bless the designers of Gotham for going all in on lead.
His watch buzzes. The tracker he’d slapped on at the beginning of this fight pinging within proximity. Fifteen minutes until a hypervigilant Kryptonian is breathing down his neck.
Tim takes a deep breath and thinks. What would Nightwing do?
Tim & Kon go on a date.

Summary
Tim is an art forger. There’s no other word for it. He fakes antiquities and sells them. It’s illegal, it’s immoral, and it’s a total secret.
Tim has managed to avoid detection by his parents, their clients, the GCPD, Batman, INTERPOL, and, notably, Catwoman.
This all comes apart one soggy week in April, when Gotham mafia boss Callum O'Gowan gets an artifact he purchased from the Drakes appraised. Enraged by the fraud, O'Gowan kidnaps Tim on his way home from school to get back at Jack and Janet, who are totally certain that they’ve sold a genuine, authentic necklace and don’t really understand why this unpleasant large man is yelling so much.
In the aftermath, Tim struggles to keep his parents from discovering his lies, his neighbors from discovering his kidnapping, and his neighbors' alter egos from discovering his crimes.
~~~
Meanwhile, Jason Todd has just met the funniest freshman at Gotham Academy who is also clearly the most-up-to-something freshman at Gotham Academy. Also, all of his bullies are avoiding him suddenly.
Things get weirder.

Summary
“I came to visit my least favorite ghostling,” the voice was feminine, alto, and spoke with a clear dramatic flair, “but you’ve turned out so boring, child. So I decided to return some of that childlike spark to you in the form of this one’s wish.”
That questing column of green clouds then drew horizontal into the air and coalesced, reindeer-first, into a sleigh bearing a tall and lumpy red-velvet bag and a shorter but still lumpy red-suited man.
And Tim - he recognized him. Not just as Santa, but -
But as the Santa Claus that he and Young Justice had witnessed colliding head-on with Mordrek’s doomsday weapon.
“Oh, shit,” he muttered. “He became a ghost?”***
or,
Danny and Tim navigate the upcoming holidays alongside what may be the real Santa Claus.

Summary

Summary
Six months ago, Jason Todd and Tim Drake disappeared without a trace. Their family has been worried sick about them, but to their relief, the two middle children return abruptly and...unharmed?
It is quickly discovered that the two are not the same boys anymore. They're closer (since when did they openly just hug each other like that), much better
more viciousat fighting (concerningly so), and...wait...why do they have dinosaurs? Why did Tim just kill Jason!? What is going on, and what are the consequences of their mysterious journey? Will Gotham ever be the same?Or:
Jason and Tim get transported to the start of the ARK: Survival Evolved and had to battle through each world to get back home. The video game vibes don't go away, and they make it literally everyone's problem. They don't need "help" or "therapy", but they're pretty sure the rest of the family does. All that Jason and Tim are game for is raining their unique brand of chaos and fun onto Gotham's unsuspecting populations, consequences be damned. It's not their fault that Bruce is crying and Dick looks about one wrong move away from growing gray hairs. Get with the program!

Summary
This should be a dream. This is what Tim thinks about, in the back of his mind, during stakeouts that drag on too long. Something saccharine and domestic. Carding his hands through Jason’s hair, teasing him about the way his roots are growing in. Kissing Jason slow and soft, giggling as the cat they adopted starts kneading Tim's leg.
Yeah, that's right - he's down so abysmally, terribly bad for a straight guy that he's already decided what they would name the hypothetical cat they hypothetically adopt in their hypothetical house.
It should be a dream. Jason, in his townhouse, cooking him dinner. Instead, his eyes dart to the window as he calculates how fast he’d have to move to get away cleanly.
