After three years away from Gotham and the Batfamily, Tim Drake is back—and he’s not the same. Now operating once again as Red Robin, Tim returns older, sharper, and carrying more secrets than ever before.
As he steps into a leadership role within Wayne Enterprises’ R&D division, he also begins re-integrating into the Batfamily. But when a new case erupts on Gotham’s streets, it leads Tim down a path that intersects with his past… and the League of Assassins. What exactly happened during his years away? And why does it seem like he’s brought the war back with him? Or for someone?

Summary
This family was failing Tim miserably, Damian realized. Pushing him away without even realizing it. Treating him as though he were just an acquaintance, someone they didn't really feel any kind of love towards.
Yet Damian knew that they did love Tim. They loved him very much. And frankly, so did he.
But how was he supposed to fix this issue? By telling everyone that Tim was a master liar and they needed to be on the lookout? No, that would just irritate Tim. But the only alternative was to stay silent and allow it to continue.
What was Damian to do?
Damian finds out more and more about how Tim has been treated by his family and is not amused. He decides it's his job to rectify this, since clearly no one else plans to.
(5 times Damian gently nudged Tim closer to the family + 1 time Damian aggressively shoved Tim into it)

Summary
Something was going on with Kon. There was a genuine reason for Tim to be curious, if not concerned. And Tim had the ability to play his concern off as trying to prepare for Kon’s Hatching Day. Everyone knew Tim was weird about birthdays.
Okay, well, he might be hard pressed to try and convince anyone that he needed to break into Kon’s room for that. Tim wasn’t really worried about it, though. It only mattered if he got caught. And he wasn’t going to get caught. He just needed to be quick and sneaky. Standard Robin.Once he'd seen what he could find in Kon's room, he'd know his time limit. And exactly what he was looking for. Tim had to get as much information as he could from LuthorCorp and CADMUS.

[Podfic] That Time Being A Stalker Saved Tim’s Faith in Jason by Be_fae_Do_crime
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)

Summary
Tim figured that since he was banned from basically everything Robin due to the new menace known as Red Hood, that heading to Titan's Tower and indulging some old photography habits would at least keep him entertained. He certainly wasn't expecting someone to break into Titan's Tower. He most definitely wasn't expecting that someone to be Red Hood and maybe the most surprising of all... he was not expecting Red Hood to apparently know him. Well... to know the night time bird photographer Alvin Draper, anyway, but all things considered, he was willing to roll with it.

Summary
Timothy Drake had always been expected to act older than his age, more independent than he should’ve been. This was something he had learned far before he had become Robin.
He had worn a mask far before the white-out lenses of a domino mask had ever touched his cheeks.And so, when Jason died, when Dick refused to return to his position as Robin, the conclusion was natural. Batman needed a Robin.
And if he had to lie to give him what he needed, then so be it. -

Summary
“Did I fail you, Barbs?”
"Yes," the girl said quietly. "You suck."
***
"Guys..." Bruce began.
"I know you don't want to hear about demons, old man, just give us five minutes," Jason said, which set off more alarms in Bruce's head, but...
The smell of gasoline filled the air.
"Down!" Stephanie shouted.
Before he could react, Bruce saw the waffle shop explode.

Or the story where Bruce has a plan: to go shopping with his children and his not-children. The Joker also has a plan. Both plans end badly.
Actually, all good things are thanks to Barbara Gordon.Series

Summary
“Liars don’t get to shapeshift,” he snarled, and he was all barely-harnessed fury again, stalking towards Tim on stiff legs, teeth bared and mane crackling with fire. “Mangy scavengers who sneak into real wolf packs and take prey from real puppies don’t get to steal their faces.”
“You want to be a real wolf, Pretender?” the hellhound spat, crowding Tim against the Tower wall yet again, “Then die like one.”
Oh, Tim realized as searing hot teeth ripped through the flesh of his throat and practically tore his head off, this is about Jason.
— — —
Or: Tim has been pretending to be a werewolf for years since Jason died. His disguise is meant to fool owls and fireflies, almost purely visual. When he meets a hellhound in the Tower the Red Titan pack claims as its pack den, this goes… poorly.

Summary
Tim looked like he was going to cry. Jason felt cruel but couldn't stop talking. "People have little flaws, annoying habits, silences and gestures. When you know someone, you see the person in those gestures and silences, where others see chance. That's trust. That's family. You don't trust anyone, Tim. And I can prove it. I know your darkest secret and I have no idea what your favorite color is. You don't trust me. Okay, it doesn't have to be me. But don't say you trust people. That's not true."
***
Or: Tim Drake has fallen in love. Steph is worried, Jason feels bad. Dick is—as he should—walking off a cliff. Ra's Al Ghul is ready to make his move. Duke is too. Bruce is taking people to court. But here's the thing: you can't love without trust and Tim trusts no one.
Three stories of coming out and identity, when being who you are seems simply uncomfortable, not wrong.

“Haven’t seen you in a few days. Nobody has.” Dick raises his eyebrows at the door and quirks a smile. “Let me in?”
Tim considers saying no for a moment. He really, really does. “It’s kind of…a mess.”
“I’d be more surprised if it wasn’t,” Dick says. “Can’t I want to check in on my little brother?”

Summary
A blonde girl in Crime Alley, dressed as Robin.
Then she saw him and, with the best smile - her teeth were all pointed, screaming magic - she asked, "Want a Batburger?"

***
Or, the slow, crazy process that gets Jason on his way home. Contains: the rise and fall of the fourth Robin, offline communications for a worried Oracle, and the shenanigans of the younger Wayne siblings. And the rule of stealing food from rich white men.
