    Summary

    “Batman was getting dangerously close to crossing a line that Tim had been so sure he would never cross.

    “It became obvious to Tim that Batman needed a Robin. He was this close to tracking down Dick just to get him to take back the role. It would have exposed that Tim knew the truth, but it would have been worth it. And if Dick wouldn't do it, if it really came down to it? He’d throw on tights if he had to, drag Batman back to the light himself.

    “Batman needed a Robin. And maybe that's why Tim was so relieved when Spoiler, a young vigilante clad in purple, showed up out of the blue and refused to leave Batman alone.”

    Or,

    Seventeen year old Tim Drake, CEO and stalker extraordinaire, has known the truth about the Bats ever since he was a kid. But he never put on the Robin suit.

    Following a gala and breakout at Arkham, Tim reluctantly finds himself drawn into the Batfamily’s orbit. And although no secret stays buried forever, nobody could have predicted the disaster to come.

    Or,

    A Tim joins the batfamily late au!

    Summary

    "Wordlessly, and slowly, Bruce takes one breath after another, composing himself. He hands Jason the slightly crumpled sheet of paper. Jason reads it quickly. Quicker than Bruce, but he reads it again and again and again. Finally snapping with panicked urgency, 'What the fuck is this?'

    Bruce, completely devoid of any inflection, forces himself to simply state the facts in front of him. 'That is Red Robin’s two week notice.'"

    Or

    Tim really thought leaving would be a lot easier. Both figuratively and literally.

    Summary

    Someone trips his window alarm at 4:08 in the morning and Jason twitches awake. He grabs his sword as he rolls out of bed. His current safe house is located in one of the better neighborhoods in the Fashion District, and he doesn’t want to shoot a gun here if he can help it.

    In the living room, he sees a shadowy figure straighten out of a crouch.

    “Don’t shoot,” the intruder says.

    -----
    Or: Jason can't believe the Replacement has the audacity to come through his window looking for help.
