Summary
Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair. A cuckoo finally rid from the nest.
But when he wakes up, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
Tim wouldn't let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldn't join them.Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"
They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface.But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.
Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.

Summary
“Tommy?” The man says, his hand still wrapped around Tommy’s wrist, and Tommy falters, whipping his head around. “Are you- Is it really-?”
Tommy blinks. Stares. Squints a little.
At the back of his mind, it sinks in that this is a familiar face, a friend.
Who Tommy met two hundred years ago.
(Or, SBI are immortals just having a life, and Tommy is a time traveler who’s been wandering for quite a while.)

Summary
Peter was alone, mid-way through an existential crisis after the Erasure™ and was dreading the upcoming month of May.
Jason was sick of people telling him how he felt. ‘You don’t need us anymore,’ Artemis had told him, as if saying it would make it true. As if Jason needed someone to justify keeping them around. But three weeks back in Gotham and all Jason felt was fucking bored and lonely.
It was a relief, then, when some random New Yorker was thrown into his living room through a portal straight out of some LSD daydream.
Finally, something interesting to deal with.
Cue some wild family misunderstandings, criminal conspiracies and cults.
Because there’s always a goddamn cult.

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Ilya Rozanov's Guide to Reinforcing the Closet by pink_starfish

Summary
“Are you… are you saying that you want to be in a relationship with Shane Hollander?” The room held a sort of tension, like everyone in it was holding their breath, waiting for Ilya to vehemently deny it.
The reporter had taken his words in the complete opposite way than Ilya had meant them, but he supposed he was too committed to stop now. “Of course not.”
“Of course.” The reporter parroted, laughing nervously.
“Obviously, we are already in a relationship.”
—
In Ilya’s rookie season, he impulsively jokes about dating Shane to an invasive reporter. Then, he just… keeps doing it, since publicly announcing it enough times that everyone writes it off as a joke is a great way to hide a clandestine relationship.

Summary
Ever since Percy's quest to rescue Artemis from Mount Othrys he's been... strange. Keeping secrets, relying less on Annabeth and his friends, and conspiring with Apollo of all people. No one quite knows what to make of it, though, it's hard not be reminded of Apollo's many tragic young male lovers.
Or a platonic Percy and Apollo time travel AU where they try to save as many lives as they can during Titan War and accidentally cause mass confusion.
