    Summary

    “Tim. I do not have a secret son.”
    Tim scoffed. “That’s what Bruce thought, too. Besides, it would hardly be a secret son if you knew about him.”

    -

    Peter’s mostly adjusted to life in Blüdhaven. Sure, sleep is optional most days, money is tight, and good people seem to avoid him like the plague, but that had been true even back in New York. But when two very suspicious men walk into his part-time job, his routine is, to put it politely, launched directly into the sun.
    What follows is a mess of paparazzi, stalkers, a tiny but nonetheless murderous uncle, odd jobs (in every definition of the word), identity shenanigans, and a troubling father-son duo who don’t quite know what to make of each other.

    -

    Or: Peter wakes up in a new dimension where he has a family. Too bad he’s leaving soon, right?

    …Right?

    Right???

    Summary

    Tim Drake is eleven years old and very good at taking care of himself. He's been doing it since he was seven. He knows his parents' emergency contacts, how to fix a blown fuse, and how to order groceries online. What he doesn't know, and what nobody prepared him for, is what to do when he wakes up zip-tied on a warehouse floor with the Joker crouching at eye level, looking at him like a puzzle that just got interesting.

    OR

    Tim Drake being relentlessly competent under terrible circumstances, Bruce Wayne being emotionally constipated about it, and the Joker making a series of decisions that change everything.

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne was not emotionally or physically prepared to be a father when he first adopted Dick and Peter Grayson, and Peter was never supposed to be anyone's son.

    (aka yet another 'Peter ends up in Gotham' fic and with the Waynes)

    Summary

    Peter Parker may have been dropped in some Jersey-based hellscape thanks to Dr Strange’s spell, but he was making it work. He was. Okay, reliving his teen years wasn’t on his bingo card, nor was being homeless, but he wasn't homeless for long! He’s been crashing with one of the local heroes. It’s some guy called Red Hood who seems to terrify everyone, which personally he thinks is silly, because this dork is clearly an absolute softy. Despite having the intelligence of an 18 year old tech genius in the body of a homeless 13 year old, and, oh yeah, the whole spider thing, Peter thinks he’s been doing a stellar job of being your run-of-the-mill average homeless teenager.

     
    Jason Todd, on the other hand, is about to have an aneurism. There is a homeless child with his name, Dick's face and Tim's intelligence sleeping in his safe-house. They don’t know where he came from, or how he fights as easy as breathing. He just knows that he’s somehow responsible for this mess now.

     Jesus fucking christ.

     

    (aka another Richard Parker is Dick Grayson, Jason Todd is Benjamin Parker fic)

    Summary

    Gotham needs Batman. Batman needs a Robin.

    And unfortunately, it looks like there's no Robin-shaped kids around except Tim.

    So, it will just have to be him.

    ----

    This is an AU fic where Tim Drake becomes Robin, and Bruce Wayne cannot figure out the identity of the kid behind the mask. There will be hijinks, there will be fluff, there will be angst.
