The Science of Falling Apart (and the Art of Being Found) by NocturnalAnomaly
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
11 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
Tim Drake never became Robin. Instead, he became a ghost with a trust fund, a bad habit, and no one who cared enough to stop him.
When Jason Todd finds him half-dead in an alleyway, the overdose is only half of the problem.
Saving someone's life is easy. Keeping them alive after, not so much.
OR:
A story about recovery and finding the people who care.

Summary
“You saw the body?” Jason asks. It’s a stupid question—of course Tim saw it. Tim was the one who found it, who rolled it into the carpet in the first place. But there’s a second question wrapped up in his strangled tone, which is: Are you okay after seeing the body?
Tim just purses his lips, almost indignant. “This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a corpse before, Jason.”
Right, Jason thinks, but it’s the first time the corpse has been your own fucking dad.
-
Tim is desperate to keep his father’s death a secret from Bruce at all costs. Which is how he ends up hiding a body with Jason Todd, of all people.

Dead Air (don't let me fall) by Calypso_Rambles, JUBE514, SalParadiseLost

Summary
It barely registers that strings of promises and apologies and cries of please, please, please are leaving his lips too fast to comprehend. He’s too lost in his thoughts to stop the motion now, and trips over his stumbling feet and over the netting– and suddenly he’s falling, plummeting, down, down, down—
--
Tim almost forgot how he learned how to fly. Almost.

Summary
Tim’s mouth is set in a scowl, jaw tensed, anticipatory, like Jason is scaring him a little. But his eyes are clear and focused. Calculating. He’s studying Jason just as much as Jason is studying him.
Jason wonders what his own face looks like to the kid. He wonders if he looks as dead behind the eyes as the rest of the block’s regular prostitutes.
“I want to know how to work corners,” Tim says, flat. “I won’t take your good spots or your good customers, but if you could tell me how to, uh…market - be more marketable, how the game works here, I can repay you a portion of my earnings until -“
Oh, Jason does not have time for this.
~
Jason Todd is approached by a kid one night. Things get weirder from there. And better, too, but he won’t realize that until it’s too late.

Penelope by NerdyGay

Summary
"Odysseus was clever, but his vanity and ego would have killed him long before his return home if not for his wife.”
“Penelope?” Tim asked.
“Exactly, child, Penelope," his nanny smiled. "The men of Ancient Greece would have you believe that she was idle, waiting for her husband to come home and solve her problems, but this is far from the truth. For routine and ritual are not powerless things. In pouring her love for her son and husband into her weaving, she called out to the goddesses Hestia and Hera. Despite never lifting a finger in violence herself, Penelope saved her family.”
--
Tim finds that there are more ways to protect the Bats than just Robin. A little magic never hurt anyone, after all.- Language:

Summary
Ambitious like his father, the media preached as Timothy saved DI from collapse. Clever like his mother, they wrote as Timothy bought up small seemingly unprofitable industries and made them bloom under his company’s care, bringing DI’s stocks back to their former glory within a year. A true son of Gotham, they said as Timothy developed his offices in the city and went above and beyond to pay his workers fair wages. Selfless, they called him as Timothy reduced his own salary to ensure DI would survive these changes, sacrificing his time and dreams to keep the company afloat. Tragic, they all but wrote in every article, unable to keep themselves from rehashing his parents’ deaths.
At only 19, Tim is one of the youngest CEOs in the world. He’s certainly the youngest CEO of a fortune 200 company.
And yet, it takes little to make his empire collapse like a house of cards.

Summary
Eddie Gluskin, 46, survives Mount Massive Asylum against all odds. What he doesn't expect is kindness.
Waylon’s straight hair has grown out, dark at the crown of his head, the tips still blonde and just beginning to curl around his ears. He approaches the barrier with a limp and stands with his hands in his pockets, but shows no other visible signs of what happened to him at Mount Massive.
He's easily a full foot shorter than Eddie, maybe more, but he stands there watching Eddie with all the fearless self-assurance of a child observing a grizzly bear at the zoo.

"So, uh . . ." Kon says, skeptically eyeing the softly glowing rock in his hand. Metallo, like, threw it at his head. He has no idea why. "Is this supposed to do something or . . . ?"

I'm a Good Pretender by orphan_account

Summary
“You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”
“It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.
(Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)
“Then what is it?”
“It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”
-_-
Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.
Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.
