Would anyone appreciate a Tim Drake DID AU but it’s like actually good?
Bruce Wayne creeps the fuck out of Clark.
He’s been watching the man pretend to be drunk for about half an hour now, making a fool of himself for all the Elite to see. He had two beautiful models on each arm hanging off of him to serve as eye candy—or, as he tried to make it seem, being used to support his unsteady weight.
So far, in the night, Wayne had ingested a couple shrimps, water, five glasses of different juices and not a single drop of alcohol. When the man started to act out, speak sluggishly and lose balance, Clark had become slightly worried that someone had spiked his drink, but there was not a single chemical tang in any of the drinks—alcohol, sedatives, poison or otherwise—that Clark’s nose picked up on.
It was a bit disconcerting, to say the least, to know that the man that just ten minutes ago walked face-first into a (very big and very visible) marble pillar was stone-cold sober.
That alone meant Clark didn’t have such a high opinion of Wayne; this whole charade of his of playing dumb could just be a desperate cry for attention, or a business move to be underestimated by opponents. Whatever. It wasn’t any of Clark’s business what a billionaire playboy with no serious scandals did to have fun.
What really caught his attention, on the other hand, was how calm and controlled the man was even while lying through his teeth. There was no acceleration in heartbeat, no hitch in breath, no spike in cortisol or adrenaline scent, not even the minute fluctuations in temperature humans usually experienced when embarrassed, excited, angry, or put on the spot.
Clark refuses to use his X-ray vision to check if the man’s blood really was flowing to his downtown are as he led the women around him to believe he was as excited as he said.
A woman—not either of the models he was with—touched his chest flirtatiously and Wayne gave her a lazy smile that probably looked devastatingly charming to anyone without microscopic vision. No reaction. One of the few males surrounding Wayne insulted him jokingly to his face. No reaction. Bruce’s son (Clark had no idea which one, and it felt wrong to take on Lois’ advice on referring to Wayne’s many children as numbers) immediately jabbed a finger in the man’s chest to (very aggressively) defend his father’s honor, positively assassinating the good mood in a ten meter ratio as Wayne had to talk his ward into not escalating the situation even more. No. Reaction.
Clark frowned faintly into his champagne flute. It was kind of very creepy how even his heart was steady, Clark had honestly never seen such an unwavering blood flow in a human, not even Lex Luthor could pull off such bullshit without even the slightest change in his body as a giveaway.
Clark looked away after a while, suddenly uncomfortable with how long he’d been observing the man. He could almost hear Batman’s voice in the back of his mind telling him to stop sticking his nose in Gotham’s business. And he would comply to his friend’s wishes.
Bruce Wayne was still creepy as fuck, though.
This scene has been in my drafts for a while and now Ao3 is down so yk nothing matters might as well post it and get any serotonin available

Two Face flipped a coin, “tough luck Pops, say goodbye to your lil Jay”
Willis didn’t say anything other than a couple incoherent pleas before a goon put a bullet in his head, “now then…”
Two Face then turned to Jason who was shaking “chin up kid, he ain’t worth spilling tears over, alright how’s this… Heads you can come work for me, Tails you follow your old man”
Jason gulped as he watched the coin flip, neither option was good and he wasn’t sure he didn’t prefer Tails at this point but it really wasn’t up to him and the sooner he accepted that the better
Two face caught the coin and slowly revealed Jason’s fate, heads, he was safe. Well, as safe as a recently orphaned street kid suddenly working for a mobster could be, he supposed.
Two Face shrugged and waved off the goons that had him at gunpoint, “alright kid looks like you got more luck than your old man, I could use a good luck charm” he then slung his arm around Jason and led him to the car and, unbeknownst to him, the beginning of his new life as a lunatic’s son.

So like if someone wants to write a fic based on the concept and/or using this excerpt plz tag me in it when Ao3 is back up🥲🙏
Bruce absently catalogs the differences between his sons’ embraces
Dick was fluid like water in all his actions, always hanging off Bruce or leaning against him just naturally falling into place, languid but forceful and somewhat (extremely) clingy once he’s decided to hug him, he flowed and fell wherever felt right and somehow never misjudged what was right.
Jason was more like fire, a smothering and engulfing presence that would hypocritically disappear if treated in the same nature, Bruce has learned to accept the embraces without being as overbearing as Jason himself, lest he push him away again.
Tim hugged like air, a feather light presence often leaving Bruce wondering if he had even made physical contact at all, most always afraid to overstep, except for the rare occasion when he indulges his increasing need for comfort and becomes a crushing force of nature.
Damian is like earth, he gives solid, often awkwardly pokey, hugs that tend to leave bruises whenever he’s particularly upset, bruises that Bruce would die before making known to his son for fear that he’d stop offering and/or accepting the already rare embraces he indulges.
Just “Tim”
“It’s not Timmy, it’s not Timbit, it’s not kiddo, it’s not brother, it’s not Robin, it’s not son! IT’S JUST TIM
…That’s all I’ll it will ever be”.
……Idk I was just thinking about nicknames🤷♀️
Normal robin au, reverse robin au. Nah, give me jumbled robin au.
Put their names on a wheel and spin it and see what happens. Hell, have a little fun with it and throw Duke into the mix as well with the other five
(It is 12 in the afternoon and I have not gone to bed yet... so yeah. I cannot be trusted to make sane ideas)
Soo I took the consensus of the poll in the rbs and did the rest with a name generator and this is the order + general timeline I came up with:
Steph: 10 Bruce: 25
Steph is 10 years old when she finds out her father is Cluemaster, she seeks out Batman, who is roughly 25 and not well known - she only thought to find him because she eavesdropped on her father talking about how he plans to lure out Gotham’s new protector to get rid of him - she decides to get to him first and warn him as well as help him take Cluemaster down. Batman is obviously apprehensive at the idea of allowing this little girl to help him fight crime but at some point in the process of taking down Arther, Crystal got involved and became a casualty. Being unable to turn this adorable, funny, wildly capable, newly orphaned girl away, Bruce adopted her and she became his first partner in his, now their, mission.
–
Damian: 10 Steph: 17 Bruce: 32
Talia brings Damian to Bruce at 10 years old, 7 years after Steph was adopted. To start, their relationship is rocky at best, Damian wants her position as his father’s partner and Steph is trying - mostly failing - to be patient with him, but she is also growing increasingly frustrated with Bruce and spending more and more time with the Titans. Steph ends up quitting and becoming Spoiler, and is not surprised when Damian shows up wearing her suit the next time she sees him. She does her best to be understanding and eventually does develop a closer bond with him but is still cold to Bruce. When Damian is 15 he dies due to his clone The Heretic going rogue and murdering him, he stays dead for about 1 year before he wakes up and climbs out of his coffin where Talia is able to restore his body and help him plan his return to Gotham, where one Jason Todd has stolen his mantle and birthright.
–
Jason: 13 Steph: 22 Bruce: 37 Damian: 15💀
Jason is 13 years old when he jacks the tires from the Batmobile, a year or so after Damian’s death, and meets a very angry, grieving Batman. Steph, who happened to be in town is the only reason Jason wasn’t dropped off at the nearest shelter and instead taken back to the manor. Steph felt an immediate kinship with Jason because they both grew up on poorer sides of Gotham with criminal fathers and her guilt over not being closer with Damian made her want to take this kid under her wing like Bruce had done for her. Jason loves being a vigilante, he loves Bruce but wishes he would be less broody all the time, and loves that Steph is over often enough to make up for it, she takes his side in almost every argument Bruce starts and eventually Bruce begins to chill out, even begins to smile when Jason does something particularly well. Jason is 15 when he discovers his birth mother, he tells Bruce he is going to find her and he is hanging up the cape at least until he meets her, Bruce does not take this well but takes him to the circus the next day as a send off.
–
Dick: 14 Jason: 15 Steph: 24 Bruce: 39 Damian: 17🤫
Bruce takes in Dick after seeing his family die much like his own so long ago and selfishly decides to help him find Tony Zucco and make him his new partner Robin in secret hopes that it will make Jason want to come back. Dick and Bruce get along extremely well, Dick is a great partner and flies through Gotham with natural finesse. His wrath is a force to be reckoned with and even though he is only Robin for a short time, he is very well known among the rogues. His time as Robin does not last very long because Jason returns a few months later due to his mother dying, having been caught up in a scheme of The Joker’s, and Jason was unable to save her. Jason returns and Bruce fires Dick, who gets reasonably pissed and seeks help from Superman, gaining the new mantle of Nightwing. He and Jason become extremely close because Dick harbors no ill will towards Jason for Bruce’s insensitivity and Jason feels bad for the way Bruce treated Dick on his behalf, he makes great efforts to make up for it by being an awesome big brother for Dick.
–
Jason is 16 when Damian comes back, influenced by the Lazarus Pit and calling himself The Heretic, an assassin, he fights Jason at Titans Tower for “replacing him” and “stealing his birthright” Jason has no idea what he means because as far as he knew Stephanie was the first Robin and Damian was dead. Eventually Damian calms down from the Pit Madness and he and Jason are able to reconcile somewhat, Steph is hesitant but extremely happy to be given a second chance at being Damian’s sister. Damian likes Dick, although he does not know much about him personally, because of his reputation from his Robin days. Altogether, they end on peaceful enough terms, until Bruce gets lost in time, leaving Stephanie and Damian to Battle for the Cowl, and Tim Drake shows up on their doorstep.
–
Tim: 10, Dick: 16 Jason: 17, Damian: 19 Steph: 26 Bruce: 41
Tim is 9 years old when he learns Batman’s identity by following the case of Arther Brown, AKA Cluemaster, AKA Stephanie Brown’s father, Stephanie Brown who was adopted by Bruce Wayne right after Arther’s arrest, followed again by the appearance of the very first Robin. He is 10 when he notices that Batman has been gone for longer than is usual, before Stephanie Brown goes out wearing the cowl and he decides he needs to know what happened to Bruce. Tim arrives at Wayne Manor to see the grieving Bat family and lay it all on the line, he tells them he knows their identities and that he wants to know what happened to Bruce, when he discovers the truth and learns of the mysterious circumstances surrounding Bruce's “death” he insists on looking into it further. Tim finds out Bruce is alive but Jason is the only one who believes him, he and Steph argue for a long time before Jason decides to leave as Red Robin and go look for the clues Tim described in order to get evidence and help from the JL. Stephanie, with occasional help from Dick, trains Tim as Robin, becoming a pseudo parent to the young boy who had recently lost his parents in a plane crash, until Jason returns with Bruce. Bruce absolutely loves Tim, and commends Stephanie on her work thus far with his training, Jason stays content with his role as Red Robin and Tim is overjoyed at having a real, loving family.

May or may not write an actual fic to go with it but if anyone else wants to write it first please do!
A spleenless Tim is delirious with a fever and asks Dick, the only one who isn't too busy to take care of him at the moment, for his mother. It is suddenly very clear to Dick that their family has no default maternal figure, if he had asked for his father there would be a multitude of people Dick could bring to sooth him, like Bruce, Clark, Ollie, etc. But mothers? Bruce and Selina were on the outs at the moment so she was out of the question, Talia was never in the question if you asked Dick, and Tim was not particularly close with any of the female Leaguers, nor did any of them really resemble Janet Drake so they couldn't even try to trick his febrile mind. He briefly considered Harley but quickly decided against it and Tim is crying at this point so Dick called the first woman he could think of that has ever been good at calming Tim down when he isn’t all there; Barbara.
Dick is Superbat’s child (kinda canon)
Jason is Wonderbat’s child
Tim is Batcat’s child
Damian is Brutalia’s child (canon)
Bao Pham is Brukhoa’s child (canon)
Duke is Batlantern’s child.
And Bruce made Cass via mitosis.
"Dick and Damian" this, "Dick and Jason" that–
Dick called Tim his little brother while Tim still had his parents. Man didn't give a fuck.
Dick: okay, now make sure you keep the wound dry-
Tim: I know.
Dick: -because you have a high risk of infection-
Tim: I’m aware.
Dick: -because of your missing spleen-
Tim: you don’t say.
Dick: -and with how many energy drinks you consume-
Tim: Dad, I know, you don’t need to-
Tim: …
Dick: did… did you just…?
Tim: no. I didn’t.
Dick: Tim…
Tim: I’m going to put water on my wound now.
Dick: Tim, it’s okay! I won’t make a big deal out of it- wait no! Bad, Tim! No water!
Tim, actively speed walking away: what I can’t hear you
Dick, also speed walking: listen to your father!
Tim, now full sprinting: SHUT UP
Dick, also sprinting: DONT RUN WITH YOU STOMACH INJURY!
~later~
Damian: how come he gets to call Dick dad…
Alfred: pardon, Master Damian?
Damian: Dick and Tim were running in the cave even though there wasn’t an emergency.
Alfred: I see. I shall have to speak with them.
you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.
Fic idea: Tim is dead. Killed in a large scale bust gone wrong. The entire batfam is distraught and in mourning. Minus Jason who's response to learning this was to groan wearily, mutter something along the lines of "goddamnit Tim, again?", then respond with "give me a week or two" in the most tired voice Dick has ever heard from him. Before any of them can even process what he's just said Jason is already speeding down the tunnel on his motorbike leaving the rest of the still living bats looking like deer in headlights.
A week and a half passes with no news from Jason, it's now the day of Tim's funeral and mid service in bursts The Red Hood looking beat to hell and back holding a glowing orb that he then proceeds to lob at the coffin like a baseball. The orb passes through with ease and then what is clearly the sound of someone slamming their head into wood and then groans of pain echo from the coffin as Red Hood yells "STOP SELLING YOUR SOUL TO DEMONS AND MAKING ME FIGHT THEM! YOU'RE WORSE THAN CONSTANTINE!" before storming off as half the attendees freeze in shock and the other half scrambles to pry open the coffin.
Something something... Jason always dies.
Could be a Time Loop in which someone tries to prevent Jason’s death and fails in numerous ways
Could be dimension traveling where they fail to find any version of earth where Jason doesn’t die in one way or another
Either way, someone discovers that Jason’s death is an unavoidable constant and struggles mentally and physically trying to change this.
Cue Jason dying in various horrible/comedic ways and the main character(s) having a mental breakdown every time they see it and fail to stop it.

If anyone’s read anything like this plz tell me, I’ve been thinking about this for weeks😭
could i write a fic based on this?
PLEASE DO, share it when you’re done plzzz🙏
chapter 1 is up!
It's a Canon Event - Chapter 1 - webheadmenace - Batman - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]
Ahhh I love it!!! Tysm for writing it!!
WRONG ACCOUNT BUT I TRULY LOVE IT THANK YOUUU
I want more of Tim Drake’s aliases. Idc if they’re being utilized for a mission, or if they’re being revealed to an unaware Batfam/other team, I just want more Alvin Draper, I wanna see more Caroline Hill, get a little more dark and go Joker Junior (ik there’s already a lot of JJ but put him in the mix with the other identities there’s so much potential😭) even if, like, he makes an offhanded reference to them or something I think it just makes him so much cooler and he’s got so many minor roles that could be so funny! Maybe throw in an identity crisis or two as a treat, he’s a chameleon of a man and I need more of his loved ones to experience what a disaster he is.
in a specific mood rn (thinking about time travel au, where Jaybin sees Red Hood, and everyone is scared that he will freak out or something, but instead he runs up to hug Jason, thinking that it is Willis Todd, who is back to the family)

Normal robin au, reverse robin au. Nah, give me jumbled robin au.

This seems like a really fun idea; however, what if it's decided by Tumblr poll instead of a wheel? If we get the cannon order, I'll go back to the wheel idea.
Who should the first Robin be in this AU?
Dick Grayson - to be a baseline
Lance Burner - apparently he exists
Jason Todd - the only robin to make batman laugh
Carrie Kelly - the first female robin
Tim Drake - the neighbour
Stephanie Brown - without Bruce trama dumping about Jason
Damien Wayne - The Blood Son
Helena Wayne - The Blood Daughter
Duke Thomas - We Are Robin
Drake Winston - I have even less idea who this is than Lance.
