Interviewer: as a father of many adopted kids from different social backgrounds than your own, what do you have to say about the concept of nature vs. nurture?

Bruce Wayne: well I love all my kids dearly and I’ve tried my best to see that they grown up responsibly so let me tell you-

(News plays footage of Dick swinging on the chandelier at a gala last week)

Bruce: let me tell you I’m just about nurturing a fucking headache at this point

Headcanon that Tim loves to use words no one has ever heard before just to be annoying.

Tim, looking at the dessert pudding Alfred has just slid over to him: Thank you, it looks very lingible.

Jason, an avid reader who has probably read all the books in the manor's library and still has no idea what that means: What the fuck did you just say?

[sootify]

Tim: You look like every girls first mistake

Jason: You look like you remind teachers about homework when the bells about to ring.

Tim: You probably WERE that kid weren't you, nerd?

Jason: Rather be a nerd than illiterate, what's the last book you read, Timmy?

Tim: Fuck you. You look like you eat refrigerator magnets!

Jason: Bitch- you look like you lick unknown substances just to find out what they are!

Tim: That was one time!!

Jason: Little freak!

Bruce: Whoa whoa! What the hell? What are you two arguing about?

Tim: Huh? We aren't arguing?

Jason: We're bondin' go away!

Bruce:

Bruce: ..Okay

Bruce unintentionally dissing the league while praising his kids is so funny to me

Bruce: we need an expert marksman for this job

Oliver: *getting ready to stand up to fully accept Bruce’s praise*

Bruce: Redhood will be here shortly. We also need someone quick on their feet. Luckily Cass is working on a case nearby so we can ask her

[sootify]

To anyone who thinks Bruce has a clear and consistent favourite child I raise you this: it is infinitely funnier for Bruce to have a complicated and elaborate “ranking” system of his kids that only he’s privy to.

Picture this: Batman, dosed with truth serum, gets asked as a gag from one of the goons holding him captive who his favourite bat-vigilante is and instead of giving a straight answer, he launches into this whole explanation about the ranking system and who’s in the current lead, who’s hanging behind, etc. At some point (this is a mystery to everyone involved) a whiteboard appears and he starts explaining his system like he’s a football coach before an important match. Out of nowhere he starts pulling out little cardboard cutouts of his kids and pins them to the board. At some point the red string comes out.

Jason hasn’t killed someone in a week? Automatically promoted to favourite. Tim hasn’t caused an international incident in the past month? Puts him a few points ahead that keep decreasing the longer he refuses real sleep (20 minute power naps don’t count Tim! Says powernap inventor Bruce Wayne). Cass gave him a hug this morning and wished him a good day? Favourite until he gets a call from dick telling him (without shouting!!!!) that he’ll be there for this week’s Sunday dinner. Duke accidentally scratches the Batmobile? Demoted to the “in trouble” zone (which, honestly, that’s where his kids spend most of the time in😭). Damian did not attempt to free all the animals in the zoo they visited? Favourite. Until Bruce found out he was just trying to conceal the cat hidden in his room that Bruce explicitly forbade him from keeping.

Dick arrives at the family dinner with a busted shoulder and a bruise the size of Texas on his face? Gets demoted so far down that even azraeil scores higher than him. He’s in the “in trouble” zone for a constant month after that. Oh one of them survived an almost death? Favourite for at least the next week. At least. Multiple people survive an almost death? EVERYONES the favourite. The least favourite is the growing grey hairs on his head.

The end of day results are decided by who bothers to wish him goodnight and if all of them have fucked up in some way the past week then Jon (Kent) becomes the automatic favourite until someone cracks a joke that Bruce actually finds funny.

The favourite child changes daily, hourly even, and his kids are aware this system exists and keep trying to crack the code but he always Knows and just smirks smugly.

[sootify]

Jason: it’s always “we love you, you’re apart of our family too, you’re enjoyable to be around, please come home for dinner, blah blah blah,” until you make ONE trauma compensating joke…

Duke: Jason you said “damn this chicken tastes better than the concrete floor of that warehouse lmao” on the anniversary of your own death

Tim: you literally made dick cry

[sootify]

Concept: Jason sending Tim a different drug dealer’s name every month so that rich kid Tim Drake tries to make the dealer sell to him as a test if they’re truly sticking to Jason’s no selling to kids rule.

Jason has essentially killed two birds with one stone, 1. He got to identify and take out the fuckers that were still selling to kids and 2. He essentially made sure Tim could never buy anything from Gotham’s dealers. Call it his way of caring.

To anybody else, Tim just looked like another stupid rich kid who doesn’t know what they’re getting themselves into but the ruse is up when the news starts spreading that anyone who sells to Tim Drake specifically will get their ass busted by the Red Hood. So the next time Jason sees Damian he pitches the idea up to him and the few dealers that sell to Damian get an especially slow and painful treatment cause how dare they sell to what is very clearly a 14 year old baby??

The operation is kept strictly away from Bruce, of course, until one day some reporter breaks the story about billionaire Bruce Wayne’s kids caught trying to buy drugs and all HELL breaks loose. The end result was all of them being grounded for a month after a 5 hour long rant about responsibility and damaging their civilian reputations and the entire Wayne family being blacklisted from the drug market no matter how much cash they wave around.

Bruce: who are you? A new crime lord?

Jason: *takes off his helmet*

Bruce: *squints suspiciously* a new crime lord who looks like a grown up version of my dead son?

Jason: *sighs in annoyance and forces a bright smile*

Bruce: JASON THE NEW CRIME LORD???

[sootify]

no capes au dick and jason referring to tim as gala kid, before he’s adopted because he was the only other kid at the galas and they forgot his name.

jason: oh fr?

dick laughing: that’s what i told him!

Do you have any little tim fix recs? The best things is making me want baby Tim

Baby Tim coming up!!  

Latchkey by goldkirk

This is awesome. Tim is the neighbor kid who runs a blog where he showcases his stalking abilities.  The Waynes end up getting super concerned for him, because he’s like, alone?? A+ joins-the-family fic.  (He’s 13, here, but I’m 28 and that’s baby to me)

Tso’ape Mumbichi by keeptogethernow

In this one, Tim is kidnapped at a young age by the court of owls, because his parents made a deal with them that Tim would be for them. Bruce notices the kidnapping and it becomes one of his projects to figure it out.  A couple years later, they find Tim. He’s not quite a talon, but he kind of is? The Waynes adopt him anyway.  :)  (he’s 10-12 here)

The Longer You Stay by emiv

This is set in the nolan-verse, after Bruce quits being Batman. He takes Selina with him and they travel Eurpoe, picking up stray children along the way.  They collect Tim last, from an orphanage where he ended up when his parents died.  He’s a cute little baby and his scenes toward the end of the fic are awesome, but the entire thing is worth the read.  (He’s 7)

Blood In the Water by MishaBerry

This fic covers a wide time range and is a bio-kid fic. Tim is little in the beginning, and his time spent with the Waynes is cute.  He does grow up, to 12 or 13, and becomes Robin in the usual route. He gets kidnapped by the League of Assassins (because Talia can’t have a bastard child ruining HER bastard child’s birth right. :) Damian must be first born, of course). Then it ends up being an awesome Tim & Jason & Damian escape/leave the league early fic.  (He’s baby-13)

to forbear to treat with attention or respect by elumish

This is a one-shot where Jason finds Tim sitting alone during a Gala.  It’s like the spark that causes Bruce to notice Tim (and the neglect), which would then eventually lead to Tim joining the family early.  (He’s little, don’t remember exact age)

The Gift by theLiterator

TW: child prostitution Read the tags. Tim’s dad hands him out as a.... favor. And does so for Bruce. Bruce reacts predictably, and decides Tim is his son now and Jack Drake can go drive off a cliff. (He’s 10)

Through the Walls (WIP) by Maychorian

TW: rape/non-con. Read the tags. This one is pretty heavy, because Tim and Jason get kidnapped by a freak who, ya know, does what freaks do when they kidnap children. Nightwing, and then Batman, rescue them and decide to adopt them and the sweet baby-Tim moments begin (mixed in with a LOT of angst)  (He’s 10)

Gifts From the Sea (WIP) by Raberba_Girl

Do you want something a little different?  This has baby Tim later on in the story, since it starts out with Dick, then moves on to Jason, then has Tim for a bit.  Right now she’s just finished up another Jason arc and is about to switch back to Tim for a chapter.  It’s different, though, because all the bat boys are seafolk? Not usually my cup of tea, but I love Raberba_Girl’s writing, so I tried the first chapter and was absolutely HOOKED. Could not put it down.  Highly recommend.  (I don’t know his exact age, but it’s little. Probably 10ish?)

And for those who haven’t seen it, my fic: 

The Best Things (WIP) by me 

The neglect happening next door is noticed by Alfred, and investigated by Bruce when Tim is 10.  Happens in a Baby-Damian AU, so Damian is already living with Bruce, and Jason is there, as well.  Baby-Cass (11 years old) will be joining the family this fic, as well.  

Anyone else have any more? Feel free to reblog and add!

Working on a fic where Tim is Bruce’s bio kid and the implications of that reveal.

To be fair, Tim figured it out when he was, like, 10 years old. Janet Drake was a social climber through and through so the way she avoided their most famous neighbor had always confused him. 

Until he actually saw the man, of course.

The reporter airing out his family’s dirty laundry on channel 7 seems far too pleased with herself for his liking. She’s ruining Tim’s life, after all. You’d think she’d feel something. Anything like the soul-crushing dread he feels right now.

A flash of light catches his eye. It’s his phone flaring as alert after alert rushes in. There’s an old photo of him trending on twitter. It’s him at a gala, his hair slicked back and his face plastered with the biggest fake smile he’d been able to muster. Tam had done a good job with his makeup. You could barely see the dark circles. The photo is juxtaposed alongside one of a much younger-looking Bruce Wayne. The resemblance truly is uncanny.

God. All the distance he’s put between himself and his family-wasted. 

He knows the phone isn’t going to stop ringing until he answers. He waits. Watches as the names ping his caller id.

Dick.

Dick again.

Tam.

Kon.

Bart.

Dick again.

Barbara.

Bruce-

Tim picks up the phone.

“You knew.”

“You didn’t?” Tim laughs humorously. 

Bruce lets out a tired sounding sigh.

“Where are you?” Tim looks around at the state of his apartment. It’s no messier than usual but still probably not fit for company. 

“I’d rather not say,” he says quietly. “It’s not like it means anything. Nothing would be different.”

 Tim still wouldn’t be enough.
