Summary
It was an intriguing story: An acrobat duo made an unintended spectacle when Mary Grayson abruptly went into intense labour, swiftly giving birth to a child on stage. And if that wasn't stunning enough, she hadn't been pregnant before that very moment.
As cases multiplied and word spread about this ongoing phenomenon, it became common for these spontaneously-born children to be killed in an attempt to be rid of their so-called ‘curse’. This superstition only festered as more stories circulated of these kids displaying dangerous ‘demonic powers’.
A surge of fury washed over Bruce as soon as he heard of this, and he threw himself into investigation. The more he learned, the more his horror grew - and the more that protective rage blossomed. His plans adjusted. He would still save Gotham and instill fear into every low-lying thug until they thought better about raising a gun.
But he had another mission, too - to rescue these children from execution and build them a second chance at life. From this sentiment, The Robin Academy was eventually born.
Or: Batfam TUA AU where Bruce tries to raise a bunch of superpowered kids - it goes exactly as you'd expect. Also an apocalypse is coming-

Summary
Tim Drake has been a conspiracy theorist since he was ten. It's the only way to make sense of things, right?
He hopes so. One can only pretend to be an idiot who actually believes that Gotham is controlled by a massive alien moth for so long before it becomes clear that he's actually hiding the fact that he knows too much. If everyone thinks he's convinced that The Joker is a dolphin that got turned into a human being then they won't notice when he slips up and calls Batman Bruce Wayne.
But being a conspiracy theorist was a lot easier back when he could blame the undead for things and wasn't chasing actual crazy conspiracies alongside two ghosts and his half-sister in England whenever anyone isn't looking.
(Edit: chapter 2 is the new update; I deleted the chapter for votes)

Summary
Tim Drake could see ghosts ever since he was young. Seen things that looked so close to humans that it took him a while to distinguish between the dead and the living. What identified them was that they gave off the absence of heat– Coldness.
It filled him with an unpleasant feeling to see them drifting by, clueless on where to go, what to do, how to move on from the life they loved so much.. So Tim stepped in where he could. After all, he was living, was he not? He could interact with the world where they could not, only able to view through a spectator’s lens.
The first person he helped pass on shook his hand. It turned his entire palm lighter where they touched, like a mark. He couldn’t really explain it to other people though, but it was with later marks that became more clear that they were handprints.

Summary
STAND-ALONE FIC :)
Timothy Jackson Drake was a 'Death Seeker’— in other words, after a few close encounters with the Grim Reaper, the boy had gained the supernatural ability to see ghosts.
But when Batman's violent tendencies start to spiral out of control, and Robin's ghost is nowhere in sight, Tim takes matters into his own hands; he summons a ghoul in his neighbour's backyard...
Perhaps he should have acknowledged that actions had consequences.

Summary
Jason’s mind was reeling. “Someone can see us?”
He’d tried everything he could think of to get Bruce and Alfred’s attention since he became a ghost. But even physically floating through their bodies hadn’t elicited a response.
She laughed. “Crazy, ain’t it? I don’t know if he’s a meta or what, but all the ghosts are talking about him.”
If there was someone out there who could see ghosts… then maybe…
Jason had to find him. “Who is he?”
“He’s known by many names… Veil Walker… Reaper… Half-Pint.”
Jason sputtered. “Half-Pint??”
“That’s the wildest shit. It’s a kid. Like a middle schooler.” Delilah threw out one of her hands. “And he’s out here wandering Gotham every night and chatting up the dead.”
Jason could only stare at her. Processing. A kid who could see ghosts... What was this? The Sixth Sense: Gotham edition??
———
Jason was murdered by the Joker. Tim can see the dead. They find each other.

Summary
Beyond basically saying “I’m glad you weren’t completely alone,” Alfred didn’t care much about the whole ghost thing. No, Alfred cared much more about how Tim lost an organ, didn’t tell anyone about it, and didn’t take care of himself despite losing part of his immune system within the past year and a half.
or
Alfred talks to a sleepy Tim about updating them the next time he loses an organ.

Summary
Tim was born different.
Not special—like what some parents would claim; just different. He could see things that others couldn't and that set him apart, even if no one else was aware of it. That was okay, he was still Robin, then Red Robin when that's who he became.
It was okay, he was okay; until something entered Gotham and shoved his differences into the limelight.

Summary
Tim Drake has quite a few secrets. For one thing, he knows the identity of Batman and Robin. For another, he's an employee of the Soul Bureau, the entity in charge of organizing the afterlife. Tim's job is to host souls that have been lost before their time but are supposed to come back. When Robin dies at the hands of the Joker, Jason Todd's soul is assigned to Tim.
For someone who puts on tights to fight crime, Jason sure is critical of Tim's life choices. It's a good thing Lost Souls never remember what happened to them while they were dead, or he'd really be in for it once Jason comes back to life!

Summary
The walls stayed silent. As he spun around in the dark corridor, he mostly expected the roaches to reply. Maybe they could answer his questions about a resident. More absurdly, if he could use their phone to call the number just to make sure, now that his own battery had died. Or maybe, they would tell him to go to a hospital- because a kid who heard roaches talking and comes back from the dead was clearly not well in the head.
The door swung open.
“Hi,” he offered.

Summary
Entry #2
File Type: Video[...]
"I ran into Jason the other night. He's worried about Bruce. He said that since I already know who Batman is, as well as some other factors he refused to elaborate on, I should convince him to train me as the next Robin." Tim looks down. "It's a lot of pressure. Jason was a great Robin, and I'm not sure I could do it justice. I'm not sure I'm the right choice. He's right, though. Ever since Jason died, Batman has been using an increasing amount of force. At this rate, he's going to end up no better than the people he's fighting. And if Batman falls, who knows what the rogues will do."
His gaze shifts back to the camera. "Jason told me if his death leads to Bruce destroying everything batman stands for, then it means Joker won. Jason's afterlife shouldn't be a tragedy, so I guess I have to try. Even if it's just until someone else comes along.
or
The batfam tries and Tim's a medium. Tim ends up keeping logs on what he's been dealing with.Series
