Whatever Happened to Tim Drake? - [OMNIBUS] by Tinhatflash53

Summary
"Tim Drake has made a terrible mistake. He has inadvertently brought a child into the world, and now he needs to make sure that the world is safe for it to grow up in. So, in his first, last, and only year as Red Robin, Tim travels the world in order to rescue Bruce, then disappears to raise his son."
That's how he wished it had happened. Oh, to only be a single father on the run from the law; what a wonderful world it would be if that were the only thing that had gone wrong in his life.
But Tim had long since learned his lesson; good things simply didn't happen to him. Why else would there be so much blood on his hands?
(This work is an omnibus of an entire series! Readers may find more digestible chunks easier to follow than this!)

Summary
Damian was confused. It was the holiday season and Wayne manner had just begun hanging Garland from banisters and tinsel from trees.

Prompt: Tim trying to teach a very confused (and slightly overwhelmed) Damian some Christmas traditions and how to celebrate the holiday.

Summary
He was wearing that jacket. That damn, stupid black jacket with the House of El crest printed on the back. It wasn't an indestructible Kryptonian suit; it was street clothes, wrinkled, clinging to his shoulders, terribly real and mundane.
Tim blinked. Once, twice. Waiting for the hallucination to dissolve, waiting for it to be the fatigue, the stress, the unresolved grief, or a cruel joke from his own treacherous mind projecting his deepest desires onto the cold glass.
But the image didn't disappear.

Summary
It doesn't look like NYC even from just an alleyway. He can practically smell the gloom floating in the air. Well– he can't smell gloom, but he can smell blood and piss, which isn't the usual smell from his city. Well, they are, but it's never this strong, and always accompanied by other comforting smells. But the worst is the sounds. Peter can hear the sound of gunshots and screaming.
~OR~
'Peter Parker luck' ends up with Peter in an entirely different universe.
~AND~
Gotham is a lot different from his New York.

Summary
Tim didn’t expect anyone else to be awake.
His solution to that was to brew a cup of coffee and get some work done, so he was at least being useful instead of wasting time staring at his ceiling. He didn’t even like coffee that much, he just didn’t want to be stuck in a weird haze until he had to be up in the morning.
As he reached for the coffee grounds, the kitchen light came on. He froze.
“Drake.” Tim sighed.
or; Tim and Damian meet in the kitchen and have a late night chat.

Summary
____
Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.
Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.
