OH MY GOD I KNEW THIS WAS GIVING ME MANHWA VIBES!!! Fuckkkkk EATING THIS UPP!!

OH MY GOD I KNEW THIS WAS GIVING ME MANHWA VIBES!!! Fuckkkkk EATING THIS UPP!!

Thinking about how the reveal would go 👀

Tim just gaslighting the batfam, full on leaning into his shitty persona and calling them idiots.

Tim: Why would I want to be associated with you??! Who are you calling little brother 😒 are you an idiot??

(He’s dying inside saying to Cass. His SISTER!!)

Cass: *narrows eyes* not an idiot. You are MY Little Brother.

Tim: *sweating buckets*

Baisically Tim screeching like a caught cat being dragged back into the batfam by Cass and forced to confess his sins of time travel (specifically not reintroducing himself to the batfam and asking for help to get rid of the shadow orgs)

Or full drama where Tim is caught in the crossfire between batfam and super powerful shadow organisation trying to dominate the world. He’s wondering why the bats are here, they shouldn’t have known about the shadow org for a couple more weeks!! Tim was supposed to be weakening the shadow org first enough for the batfam to find the clues he planted and then swoop in to kill them off. But they suddenly appeared while Tim was engaging in battle with the shadow org.

Their sudden appearance throws him off. Terrible timing honestly. Tim is distracted because now he has to keep the bats safe AND fight off the shadow org.

The bats are wondering who is this kid that somehow fights well with them, so fluidly, as if having fought side by side with them for years. Why does he know that move?? Did he somehow get bat training???

Then suddenly, Tim sees Jason about to get stabbed by the enemy. Cue intense flashbacks to the negative impact of Jason’s death. Tim is rushing towards Jason, completely forgets about using code names on the field (to be fair he’s not used to calling Jason’s new vigilante name, cuz he didn’t die or become red hood)

“JASON! MOVE!!” Tim parries the attack meant for Jason and takes the enemy down.

However he sustains some serious injuries. And passes out in the arms of a very confused Jason while the rest of the bats clean up the enemy shadow org.

-

Batfam brings Tim back to the cave and they find his phone filled with plans and endless contingencies on how to take down the shadow org. Plus a checklist of all the batfam’s trauma he mitigated.

Cue interrogation confession session as Tim reveals his persona was just a facade and he actually time traveled and helped his the family and was working on preventing the end of the world. Alone.

Time Travel AU: Timothy "Trash" Drake Edition

Tim, to save his family and the world, travels back to when he was a kid. Considering the super powerful shadow organizations that are trying to take over the world (and to prevent his family from becoming targets [or he doesn't trust them. Your pick]), he elects to take on a persona:

Timothy "Trash" Drake.

Instead of the kind, charming, intelligent kid he used to be, Tim methodically mucks up his reputation. He's an asshole, he's self-important, and he's like a typical Gotham Socialite but worse. By 16, he's practically a drunk idiot who's only passing school by the Drake name. He's like Brucie Wayne, but he's hated instead of being a loveable fool.

In the background, he's subtly saved people from their tragic events in the timeline. Drake industries has been booming (try as he might, he couldn't save his parents and became the CEO at 16 as an emancipated minor), and a lot of their funds goes towards better wages and benefits for their employees. Continually, they spend a lot on Gotham infrastructure and social programs. This doesn't match the CEO's arrogant, asshole, and greedy ways. Most assume he's just a figurehead anyway.

The important part to note is that the Waynes hate interacting with him and have a strong dislike for him. They don't know that his demeanor is a persona. Jason, in particular, hates his frivolous, wasteful guts.

Tim has been somewhat successful in mitigating the shadow organization's plans and stopping the world from ending. He's still got a few plans in the works, but he's overall satisfied by what he's accomplished.

Issues start to arise when the Waynes notice contradictions in Timothy Drake's behavior.

Timothy is an asshole who only cares about himself, so why did he give away his coat to someone in need? Sure, he complained that it was of poor quality and not to his standards, but he could've just thrown it away.

Someone else notices that he crashes into the champagne tower when someone was getting harassed at a gala. It was supposedly an accident, but the person was able to get away from the harassment.

Timothy also slapped a homophoic asshole when he kept going on and on about their prejudice. The kid played it off as him being mad at them for stealing his look, but are all of these incidents coincidences?

The final nail in the coffin? Cass goes to her first gala where Tim in in attendance (he has purposefully avoided anywhere she would be). She takes one glance at him, smiles, and then softly says, "Little Brother."

Safe to say everyone promptly looses their shit.

Anyways, I kind of want to see a Trash of the Count's Family AU with Tim Drake

This guy and his skin tight suit are perfect to practice cross-hatching

Tim Joins the Batfamily Late: Vigilante Style AU

His parents send him to a boarding school abroad (or at least out of Gotham). From there, he encounters Lady Shiva and other trainers. Tim obviously can't keep his nose out of other people's business and becomes a vigilante for that city. He may also collect evidence and blackmail the JL from abroad to provide Batman with better mental health care. Tim can't leave to assist Batman in person (boarding school and parents suck ig) so he does what he can. He stops blackmailing them and cuts contact once he sees Batman has improved.

He sometimes partners with the YJ crew, but Tim's a little more morally grey (Batman's not hovering over his decisions and yelling at him about murder and stuff. Also, his mentors aren't always on the hero side). He tries to keep himself off of the JL radar and is an unofficial member of the group (despite paying for a lot of their necessities).

When he's around the same era as Red Robin, he goes up to the JL and is like "yo, Batman's alive and stuck in the timestream."

The JL have heard of this vigilante, but they've never worked with him before. The YJ crew, besides Cassie, is dead, so they can't really vouch for him. Cassie is also doing the cult thing, horrified by Tim's mad scientist basement antics, and emotionally repressed from the grief of losing two of her friends.

Tim, realizing that Dick probably has a lot on his plate, doesn't try to convince him of Bruce's continued state of breathing. Besides, why would Dick trust a stranger?

Instead, Tim tries Red Hood and the Outlaws. They don't really believe him, but they are willing to lend a hand here and there.

When he's traveling to find evidence, he comes across Black Bat. Out of everyone he's tried, she does believe him. Cass joins him on his search when she can. It causes Jason to make jokes about taking turns babysitting the youngest vigilante.

Y’all I need more fanfiction of Tim Drake reversing time and saving Jason from dying, thus kinda erasing himself from the bats’ lives.

He finds Cass and Damian years earlier. Steph’s dad goes to jail and a secret someone keeps sending money for her mom’s rehab. Damian, now 6-7 years of age, still has a somewhat childish glow that comes back out after some ample time with Dick and Bruce.

Tim is fine. He is okay. He is living off coffee and decades of spite and he is totally cool with staying in an empty house and being under his parents’ thumbs for the rest of his life.

Fast forward, the bats remember. Either Jason still gets dunked into a pit and remembers, doing things to get the others to remember, Tim almost dies and they get their memories back right before he comes back, or they get used to his presence so much that they start to remember. The last one would be where he’s ether another vigilante, or an Oracle type.

Needless to say the bats are not happy.

I cannot for the life of me find fics like this! I found a one shot series, but that’s as far as I got.

never forgive trigger for what they cut

i believe in “jason todd has that little tummy pouch that comes with a 4/6pack” supremacy like don’t get me wrong jason is pure muscle and is unnaturally fit like all the batkids but he’s massive and he’s big and he comes with that little soft belly bit when he’s not tensing. dick grayson is lean he always has been he’s doing all sorts of training and he’s THEE circus boy he’s slender and fit and has no body fat he’s got a fully defined 6 pack on a bad day not even trying cause that’s just how’s he’s built. JASON TODD HOWEVER is a man with meat on his bones. he’s got the massive arms that are squishy when he’s relaxed but fucking huge and defined when he tenses he’s got the little soft tummy pouch but again when he tenses or when he works out or even just moves/fights you can see he has a 6 pack. Jason todd gains something from having weight on him it makes him 10x more intimidating when all anyone sees is how broad and big and intimidating red hood really is just JASON TODD HAS A SLEEPER BUILD KIND OF cause it’s not really hidden cause to look at him you already know your fucked but when he acc shows how much muscle he carries on him it shocks people that type of sleeper build just omg Abhhhhhhhh
