Hi!!!

These are some fanfics I recommend focusing on Tim Drake <3333

1. Thursday's Child by anthologia/ @syntactition (tumblr): it's a really cute story of Tim being adopted early into the batfam and he's just really worried about being a burden/being too much for his family,but his family is just worried about him and very patient with him

Link:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/4628028/chapters/10552296

2. Not Unloved Anymore by Paper_Sunflower_Lane/ @paper-sunflower-lane (tumblr): I love the writing style and how his family find out how Tim feels unloved by them because of the truth serum and are trying to find ways to make sure that he knows that he is loved (still waiting for the author to finish, but it’s still something good to read)

Link:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26479588/chapters/64526056

3. A father's wish by Alone77/ @alone77 : it’s a really cute story on how Bruce (+Clark and Diana) travel back in time to catch a villian but in the process, Bruce gets to spend time with baby Tim before going back to his current time

Link:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/39598968

These are def fanfics to take a look at!!!

Oh wow this is one heck of a list for the Batman fans out there! It's got angst, fluff, and enough feels for everyone! Thanks so much for all the recs!

Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)

[senzacaponecoda]

what are the question marks

[littlemourningstarr]

21, Tim/Jason?

“Stop doing this to yourself.”

“Jason.” Tim’s voice felt like background noise, as Jason threaded the needle in his hand through the wound down on his abdomen. It was shallow and he’d gotten the bleeding to stop, but that didn’t mean the stitches didn’t hurt like a bitch. “Jason.”

Jason gritted his teeth, not looking up. His fingers were bloodstained, red caked up under his nails. He was hurting from the gash on his arm, the blood had chilled and begun to dry and was uncomfortable. The gunshot that had grazed his other arm a few nights prior was burning again, and the bandages on his back were coming loose-

“Jason!” This time Tim’s voice broke into his head, rattled around and made his skull ache. Jason looked up, still holding the needle, and Tim had ripped his mask off, was holding it limp in one hand and just staring at him across the room. “Stop doing this to yourself.”

Jason snorted, looking back at his work. “Ya think I did this to myself, Replacement? You saw it all go down.” Jason tugged the needle, before tying the stitches off and setting it aside. He took a moment to just breathe, before he was reaching for a bottle of pills he’d laid out. He popped it open, tossed two into his mouth and swallowed them dry, hoping they’d take the edge off. He’d run out of anything stronger than over the counter crap.

Tim sighed, and when Jason looked up again he was taking a few steps over. “You’re... not like this.” Tim waved his hand at Jason, at the bloody mess he was. “You’re better than this.”

Jason didn’t say anything, but there was a bitter laugh boiling up in his throat. It choked him, and swallowing it down made his stomach turn.

“Better?” he sneered, standing up. Stripped completely to the waist, he was all dirty, bloody muscle and hulking size. He felt giant-

And yet he felt small, because maybe Tim was speaking the truth.

“Tell that to anyone else in this family and they’ll laugh.” He turned away from Tim, but knew his eyes were taking in the patches of bandage taped all along his back. “Golden boy thinks I’m outta my mind and B thinks I’m a lost cause.” He hunched over, wondering if he could wrap up the gash on his arm and not stitch it. He was sick of stitching himself up.

“And a part of you thinks they’re right.” Tim was suddenly standing next to him, and Jason nearly jumped out of his skin. He had no right being a bat like that. Being anything like everyone Jason wanted to be.

“Fuck on off, Timbo,” Jason snarled, but Tim was touching his arm then, gloved fingers moving up his forearm, just past his elbow. Over the sticky blood and then pausing, so Tim could peer at the gash.

“Can I stitch this one up?” Tim asked, and Jason wanted to scream at him that he shouldn’t even be here. That he shouldn’t have followed Jason home, because word would get back and the family wouldn’t approve-

And why tarnish something good like Tim with his filth?

“Run on home, little birdie,” Jason said, but the venom was fading fast from his voice. “Before daddy Bats gets word you’re out past curfew.”

Tim laughed at that. Something low, small, but real- and Jason hated that it made him smile. Tim carefully tugged his gloves off, dropping them on the table, and grabbing the gauze and disinfectant.

“I’m good at sneaking back in,” Tim offered, carefully beginning to clean the wound. Jason hissed, looked up and away, but couldn’t deny that Tim’s touch was gentle. “And you’re just afraid if I stay, you’ll have to admit that I’m right.”

Jason bit his tongue. Admit that Tim was right- that he was being reckless because he couldn’t stand being disowned anymore? That maybe he had a death wish beneath everything else? That if he couldn’t get back into the family that he had been taken from, that had grown so much- that if they couldn’t understand why he was doing this-

Then what was even the point of going on at all?

“Do you have anything domestic in this place?” Tim asked, beginning to stitch the wound. “Like a coffeepot or mugs and a microwave?”

Jason glanced around the garage like underground hideout. “No,” he admitted, “I don’t live here.”

It was a lie, because he hardly ever went home.

“Well then, think you can keep yourself upright on a bike? I’ll treat you to tea and a couch probably more comfortable than the chair you obviously don’t sleep in here because you obviously leave.” Jason glanced at the computer chair that was showing it’s wear, before he opened his mouth-

And promptly clamped it shut.

“You shouldn’t-”

“I should,” Tim argued, setting the needle down and beginning to wrap a bandage around Jason’s arm. “Because you obviously need something, Jason. And maybe I can’t give you whatever it is... but I can try.” He stepped back, and Jason looked at his arm, before turning his eyes back to Tim.

“You have no reason to. I’ve tried to kill you.”

“Yeah, and I’ve forgiven you.” Tim held out his hand. “Now, tea and a real place to sleep for the night. I’d offer to make you breakfast in the morning, but it’d probably be burn even if it was just toast.”

Jason stared at that hand, before he carefully took it. “Maybe I can handle breakfast,” he said, and he told himself that when Tim flashed a smile, his gut twisted because he was tired and hurt-

And not because Tim’s smile seemed too good for this world.

Thank you!!!

When we came up with the idea for SteoDay, we initially hoped that we could bring the Steo fandom together and a little bit of life back into the Steo Tag.

You more than delivered. We still can’t believe how many contributions you guys created for this event. You really knocked it out of the park!

We had 55 submissions from 19 different contributors!!!

But that wasn’t the only impressive thing about SteoDay, we also had 683 different tumblr accounts interact with the posts created for SteoDay.

Let it be known that June 29 will forever be Steo Day!!!

We want to thank each and every one of you. Everyone who contributed something and a HUGE thanks to everyone who reblogged or liked the posts, thank you for making our first SteoDay such a blast! We couldn’t be happier, and we definitely couldn’t be more proud of this fandom. Working with you has been absolutely amazing, and we’ll look forward to doing it again soon, we’ll have a special announcement for y’all tomorrow at 1PM CDT. You’ll want to be following our @steoevents​ Blog for up to date information on our upcoming event and many more in the future.

Give Tiny Tim Nice Things: A Rec List

I was reminded a (long) while back that I actually read a lot of fic featuring tiny!Tim Drake? So I figured I might as well make a rec list in honor of his birthday! Most of these are gen, but some feature pairings as well as tiny Tim receiving hugs and cuddles. I tried to tag authors where I could, but was not always successful in finding their tumblrs. If anyone has any suggestions for additions, please let me know~

Warning that some of these include (or at least allude to past occurrence of) child abuse, ranging from neglect to molestation (nothing graphic, but it's sometimes strongly implied).

Daddy by meyari / @me-ya-ri

Gen | 31k

At four years old, Tim Drake comes to live with his biological father Bruce Wayne. He's tiny, neglected and far too smart for his own good. Bruce isn't quite sure what to do with him but as time goes on Tim blossoms into a full partner, despite his age, and more boys come home to live in the mansion.

The Gift by theLiterator

Mature | 14k

Tim has no idea what's going to happen to him from here, but Jason seems to think everything will be all right, so he'll have to trust in that.

(Tim is technically 12 in this and thus not tiny, but the situation and characterization are such that I feel it qualifies. Plus, like. He reads as younger than 12 to me.)

The Longer You Stay by emiv / @emiv

Teen | 64k

Bruce Wayne was never meant to be part of Selina’s clean slate. Then again, neither were a circus boy, a street rat or a rich kid.

For a girl who didn’t like strings, Selina found herself getting attached.

Safe Haven by kyrdwyn / @kyrdwyn

Mature | 29k

Five year old Tim Drake is abandoned at a police station by a mother on the run. Jim Gordon and Batman investigate to find out what happened to cause a mother to abandon her son like that. Meanwhile, what will become of Tim?

A Tale of Tiny Timmy by @nanadrawsrobins

Gen | series of one-shot comics

“Once upon a time, Timmy got de-aged by a magic user.”

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7

(Technically not actual tiny Tim since it’s just regular Tim deaged, but he is so adorable that I can't not include it.)

Tiny Tim by wintersnight / @iphoenixrising

Gen | 3 separate fics

Fic 1: Robin and Nightwing find a small stalker while on patrol.

Fic 2: A follow-up to #1; Bruce, Dick, and Jason rescue a sick Timmy.

Fic 3: Unrelated to #1 and #2; tiny Tim is too smart for his own good.

Thursday's Child by anthologia / @syntactition

Gen | 5k | (wip, but the chapters act as stand-alone fics)

He’s not the first child with nowhere else to go that Bruce Wayne has taken in. Dick Grayson was the first and the most high-profile – because no one would have thought Bruce Wayne was interested in ever raising a child, let alone the orphaned son of circus performers – but Jason was maybe just as much of a shock to society for being a street kid who came out of seemingly nowhere. Tim Drake is ordinary by comparison – his parents died in a plane accident. He can’t think of anything very special about him except that he met Bruce a few times when his parents hosted parties to keep in touch with Gotham society.

Or, tiny Tim Drake is adopted by the Waynes a little earlier than scheduled.

[sheithfictioncatalogue]

Hi! Do you have any more mute Keith recs? Even just temporarily mute from stress or the like? Thanks! (Ps. I love the Twitter page too!)

Check out this post!

Plus, here’s more:

This is finding infinity - Angelicat2 @iamstuckinfandom

ongoing, 8/? chapters, 41k. (Mature). Contains: graphic violence.

Shiro is surprised one day when a half-Galra named Keith is thrown into his cell. Turns out that the guy can talk to the Red Lion, a part of Voltron. The two escape to find the rest of Voltron, meeting many people along the way, and getting close to each other all the while.

Careful Cause the House Could Crack Soon - anthologia @syntactition

1k. (Teen).

Keith can’t help but feel like an idiot, standing in the middle of the training room with his mouth still forming itself around the words begin training level and no sound to show for it. He’d come here because he figured he could work out some frustration, but having no voice means not being able to give voice commands, and no voice commands means no easily-accessible way to activate the room. Which he would have known would happen if he’d taken two seconds to think about it before storming off.

To Wash the Rain Away - cadkitten @cadkitten

5k. (Mature). Contains: suicidal thoughts.

He sits and stares out the window and he feels nothing. It's not the blessing he once thought it would be.

The Woods - xenoglossia (oncharredwings) @pining-sheith

ongoing, 1/3 chapters, 5k. (Explicit). Contains: abo dynamics.

Don't go into the woods, there are wolves about, and they will kill you.

Keith is told this his entire life and he doesn't believe it after he meets Shiro, a young, kind wolf who only offers friendship and help. After tragedy befalls his family, Keith is taken away and his trust in wolves quickly fades. When he returns to his childhood town fifteen years later, a changed man, will he forgive and forget or will he destroy what hurt him?

-Cas & Kel

Hello! It's me again ^^ Kinda a long list, but what do you think about H, I, N, and R for the letter ask? :D I'd love to hear your answers!

Hello again! I’m glad you’re enjoying my answers enough to ask another question 😂

H: How would you describe your style?

Hmm. This is a tough one because, for all that I love to read and write, I don’t actually know that much about literature styles? So I asked @ursapharoh05 and this is her response:

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

Hngh So Many. Hurt!Tim is a big one (obviously). I live for the catharsis of characters hurting each other and then airing it out. That’s one of my very favorite things to read AND write.

N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

Um, if this is in regards to my own fics? I don’t really have any that I would feel comfortable handing off to other people to finish, mostly because I’m very specific and overly picky. HOWEVER, if this is in regards to fics by other people that I would love to see finished?? So Many.

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

Oh boy. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. @syntactition has such good angst. @incogneat-oh has the BEST mix of tension and relief, it’s incredible. @audreycritter is so good at the medical side of things, and her characterization is just 👌🏻👌🏻 perfect (also Dev?? I would very much like Dev to be canon, and soon, please and thank you). @wintersnight is So Good at writing that good Tim Angst so I have definitely picked up a few things there. There are honestly a hundred more, basically everything I read becomes a part of my style. Edit: I fricking,,, messed up. Idk who wintersnight is on Tumblr, but it’s @iphoenixrising on Tumblr! My apologies to both of you 😖

Thanks again for the ask, it was super fun!

Ask me something if you dare~~ (I promise I’m not actually scary or mean. Except maybe to Tim...)

[musingsofthesky]

Interim

I really loved the idea of Tim adopting a cat from this post by @syntactition, but then I started thinking about what would have happened when he disappeared and I made myself sad.

Cross-posted to AO3

It had been barely a day since Damian’s throat felt like it had closed up and dropped to the pit of his stomach. Twenty-six hours since that horrifying moment when the drones had hit and Drake’s comm had cut out. The brief silence that stretched afterwards still echoed in his ears, a moment of shock and disbelief that hung in the air as they waited for something—anything—that showed he was somehow still there.

In the hours that followed after they confirmed what they all already knew, the Manor had grown suffocatingly silent, broken only by the sound of muffled crying behind closed doors.

Robin hadn’t even had to sneak out of the Cave tonight. For once, Grayson had said nothing as he geared up and sped out into the city on his motorbike, but he was grateful for it. He didn’t want to have to explain where he was going and why. The truth of the matter was too tangled up in his mind to explain easily, and admitting he was breaking into Drake’s apartment would undoubtedly cause Grayson to jump to false conclusions about things like “feelings” and “how he was holding up”.

Which was ridiculous. Robin was fine. He just needed to escape the suffocating stillness of the house, and the only reason why he was actually doing this was because it was his duty to check on something important in Gotham. Nothing more.

And anyway, Nightwing would have insisted on coming with him if he knew, but bringing him to Drake’s apartment so soon after the incident would likely just cause the man more distress.

Gotham was unnaturally quiet tonight, Damian observed, but that was to be expected. He doubted many criminals would be stupid enough to risk running into the Bat tonight, not after word had started to spread about Red Robin’s disappearance. As it was, Damian didn’t have to stop for anything as he sped through empty streets, and he parked in the alleyway behind a tall apartment building downtown without incident.

A minute later, Damian landed lightly on the windowsill to Drake’s apartment. The windows were dark and the curtains were drawn shut. On any other night it wouldn’t have been unusual, but this time the sight made him draw his cape around him a little tighter. Damian was almost completely silent as he took out his lockpicks, but still his arrival had not gone unnoticed. A chorus of loud, demanding meows just inside the window urged him to work faster, and Damian made quick work of the lock and subsequent alarm system before slipping inside.

He was immediately greeted by a ball of fur headbutting his legs, and Damian quieted the cat by scratching behind her ears until she started purring. He had met Drake’s cat, Irene, a few times before this, almost always by himself. (Not that he would ever admit to sneaking in to see her when Drake was out).

Or that he cared about the wellbeing of the apartment’s other occupant. A little bit. Sometimes.

Irene pulled Damian away from his thoughts with a hard headbutt and another demanding meow. The corner of Damian’s mouth twitched and he followed her over to the kitchen counter, feeling a touch remorseful. It had been a long, hellish night, and no one had even thought about checking on the cat left in Drake’s empty apartment until about an hour ago.

“I’m sorry you have been left alone for so long. You must be hungry.”

Unsurprisingly, Irene didn’t respond. Damian pulled a can of premium cat food from the cabinet closest to the sink and hunted for her dish. Damian recognized the brand. For all his faults, at least Drake had good taste in proper cat food. Damian found the dish with the day-old dried remnants of her last meal and glanced back at Irene, but she was ignoring him now, instead looking back to the window he had come through.

She was still waiting for Red Robin to come back.

The thought made Damian spin back to the counter. He washed and dried her ceramic dish in silence and emptied the can of strong-smelling food into it. Irene padded over and meowed. Damian knelt down and placed the dish of food in front of her, which she began eating without any further hesitation. Damian sat next to her and leaned his back against the wall, taking a moment to really examine the apartment for the first time since slipping inside.

The room looked like he had never left. It didn’t surprise him, there was no way Drake could have known when he left for patrol that he wouldn’t see the place again, but the apartment looked lived-in. Like he would still come back at any moment.

Damian took note of the papers stacked haphazardly on the table and kitchen counters, no doubt following a system of organization that made sense only to Drake. The bedroom door was slightly ajar, with a closed laptop and pile of books scattered on the rumpled bed. The red sweater on the floor had been one of Drake’s favorites, and looked like it had been used as a cat bed frequently in the last week. Typical, for Drake to so easily surrender an item of clothing to a cat who would just as happily sleep in a bed of her own.

“Spoiled girl,” he said to Irene beside him, who ignored him completely and continued eating.

Spoiled indeed. Drake had loved this cat, had been so excited when he brought her home. The weight on his chest returned, and Damian shut his eyes tight and pressed the back of his head against the wall. Breathe in, breathe out.

His breaths evened out after a minute or so, but he made no attempts to move from his position, leaning back against the wall, knees now drawn up to his chest. If he kept his eyes closed, he could almost imagine that nothing had changed. That Drake would return from his patrol at any moment and yell at him for breaking into his apartment again. That they would bicker until his brother eventually gave in and crashed on the couch after irritably telling him not to make a mess of anything. Damian would help himself to whatever food he knew Drake liked best solely to irritate him before going home, and neither of them would breathe a word of it when they saw each other next.

A soft head nudged his hand, and Damian opened his eyes to Irene watching him closely in the empty apartment, and the reality of the situation hit him full force.

Tim Drake was gone. Leaving behind a cat who would never understand what had happened, and a brother who would never get another chance to make things right between them. To show that he didn’t actually hate him.

Damian scooped the waiting cat into his lap and ran his hands through her fur. She rubbed her face on his shoulder before settling down, and a lump caught in his throat. It wasn’t fair. All Irene would ever know was that one day Drake had left, and Damian was the only one who came back.

Damian curled around the cat he was cradling on the kitchen floor and shut his eyes tight. He wasn’t crying. He wasn’t.

He only felt sorry for Irene. Because as incompetent as Drake was, Irene had had a home because of him. And now?

Damian buried his face in her fur. His breath hitched painfully, and he felt tears wet her coat as he began to cry.

“I miss him too.”
