Title: Five Things Bruce Wouldn't Have Done, But Tim — as Batman — Did
Rating: PG13
Fandom: DC AU
Author Notes: This is a quite OOC, awfully self-serving piece of implausible, underplotted fic. I'm ashamed. But it was fun.



( Five Things Bruce Wouldn't Have Done, But Tim ---as Batman--- DidCollapse )

Short, based on Robin 168.

( It was a risk, but you had taken far worse as Robin.Collapse )

Title: The surety of death's steps

Maybe Tim Drake would have noticed the Batman's erratic, self-destructive behavior after Jason's death, and approached Bruce Wayne on his own. Alfred didn't want to take the risk. He knew how much Bruce needed somebody like him.

.finis.

Title: On a steel mirror
Rating: PG13
Fandom: DCU
Author notes: Spoilery for Teen Titans #51. You probably already know which scene.

( Spoilery fic below the cutCollapse )

Title: Replacement Hero
Rating: PG13
Fandom: DCU
Character: Tim
Author Notes: A birthday gift for vespa331.
Summary: Somebody should do it, and Tim can. He needs no other reason.

( It's only temporary. Tim isn't replacing the man; there's probably nobody in the world who could. He's just filling in until he recovers from his injury.Collapse )

Title: Lateral Moves
Rating: PG13
Fandom: DCU
Summary: Tactical changes aren't incompatible with strategic consistency.
Author Notes: Spoilery for the latest Robin.

( It was easier than he thought it would be. That didn't mean it was easy; nothing that had anything to do with keeping Bruce as close to functional as possible ever was.Collapse )

Title: Fixed
Rating: PG13
Fandom: DCU
Summary: Every problem has a solution.
Author Notes: Based on -without being nearly equal to the task- a terrifying idea of brown_betty.

( The transporter's whine echoed through the Cave.Collapse )

Title: Rematch
Fandom: DCU
Rating: PG13
Summary: It might, of course, be what Slade had in mind all along.

Author Notes: A bit after current-ish Teen Titans continuity, unless canon messes with it.

( It was obvious, really. Like a purloined letter hidden in plain view.Collapse )

Title: Necker's Viewpoint
Rating: PG13
Fandom: DCU
Summary: Tim has done this before.
Author Notes: Bunny suggested by katarik, after an original idea from thete1. Betaed by chevauchee and katarik.


( At this point in the timeline, the security of Wayne Manor is laughable.Collapse )

Written for jadecaptain.

This is Tim being deliberately non-Timmish for strategic reasons. I'm not sure about how well this works, but new years are there for us to try new things, right? Sequel to To Fall Willingly Into Your Embrace - I'm pretty surprised I wrote the Tim from that fic behaving like he does in this one, but, well, it seemed to fit.

( She was waiting for him on his bed, although she was dressed this time.Collapse )
