series: MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) by havendance a 'What If' AU of Joker's Last Laugh that explores what might have happened if Nightwing killed the Joker, and they weren't able to revive him. https://archiveofourown.org/series/3408703

fic: now the little red lighthouse knew that it was needed by xscintillate AU. Jason lives, but Tim still inserts himself into Dick's life. Early brotherism vibes. Picks up the Drake Industries embezzlement plot from Batman #480 & pulls from ALPOD too https://archiveofourown.org/works/45189331

fic: a soft place to land by unchosenone One shot taking place during the post-Infinite Crisis, Bruce-Dick-Tim cruise trip around the world. Tim gives Dick a gift. Very good. https://archiveofourown.org/works/23055331

fic: go past where our feet could touch by redboard (Ink) Dick & Tim talk after Tim return from searching for Bruce in the multiverse. They talk about Tim visiting his mom. https://archiveofourown.org/works/48834898

fic: Little Brothers and Stupid Ideas by lazarusfell Features YJ-era Tim breaking into Dick's Bludhaven apartment. Genuinely hilarious. https://archiveofourown.org/works/45860794

okay my last rec is The Step-Parents by IzzyMRDB which is *very* fanon, but it has the incredible line “Nightwing’s sleeping with my mom.” so i have to recommend it—it's required reading in my household. the premise is what if Dana survives & dates Dick. https://archiveofourown.org/works/41472408

I got you babe by Nanimok

Summary: How many Tim Drakes does it take to work through a set of personal problems?

Two, it turns out. Two Tim Drakes and a-whole-nother universe.

Reader’s Comments: I love this story. Definitely one of my all time favorites. It has awesome bonding and discussion about how different pasts make different people (it is a age-reversal universe where Jason lived and Tim died). Also both Tims like causing chaos while Red Robin!Tim fixes all of Red Hood!Tim’s relationships.

For almost as long as he had come to live in Gotham with his Father and siblings, Damian had seen Dick randomly rest his arms and head on Tim’s shoulders in all kind of situations. Tim had always sighed, and kept going about his business.

Then, as all kids do, Damian had grown, he’d reached Tim’s height, and for a moment, Dick’s leaning habits had applied to him the exact same way as his brother, then with a last growth spurt, he had caught up then out-shot Dick in size.

It was seeing Dick leaning his chin on Tim’s shoulder, and Tim being long-suffering about it again that sparked the realization that he had reached a size where he could do this too.

It would have been too weird to do it to Tim, still trying their truce out as they were, but he was the perfect height to lean on Dick.

The day Damian tried it, approaching Nightwing from behind, then seizing his waist and putting his chin over his shoulder, Tim was in the room too. He almost fell over laughing at Dick’s jump. And smirked and said “it’s Karma.” Whenever Dick complained about Damian’s new favorite hobby.

In the Space Between Seconds by  anaksemuabangsa

G - 10k

Summary: A collection of drabbles that happens in the good habits AU. Chapters to be added as it goes. 

Most recent chapter: Afternoon naps are something he had never gotten to do. Between his anxiety and his parents’ demands, afternoons in his childhood meant violin lessons or being trapped inside the house relentlessly wondering whether his parents had forgotten to go home again or not. At the ripe age of nineteen, Tim is only starting to appreciate the activity. In which boys get warm naps because they deserve them.

Reader’s Comments: Everybody knows that the Bats are not the most healthy people in the world, but sometimes we just have to take pity on them and give them something nice. It includes a lot of hanging out, bonding, and brotherly love.
