Title: Eidos
Author: Te (thete1)
Characters: Tim Drake, Dick Grayson
Prompt: 02. AU
Rating: Adult
Length: Long (18000 words)
Brief summary: This is my very favorite story in this fandom. It's the first AU I read that made me wish it had happened that way. It's the story that made me love AUs. It breaks from canon right at A Lonely Place of Dying, but Batman needs a Robin, no matter who's wearing the cowl. And when Tim's tendency toward obsession leads him to offer his services as Robin to *Dick's* Batman, it's no surprise what happens next.

Title: Variant
Author: Jamjar (jamjar)
Characters: Tim Drake, Kon-El
Prompt: 27. Original Character
Rating: All Ages
Length: Medium (7000 words)
Brief summary: This is an AU, written for the Timfinity challenge. The characters aren't so much *original* characters as they are an orginal means of characterization. Saying more would give away the premise, and that's the point of the story.

Rating: Adult
Length: Medium (6000 words)
Brief summary: It's the lighting that sets the tone of this story. It's Tim and Dick, two fucked up boys having fucked up sex on a grey, rainy day. It won't fix what's wrong with them, but it's all they know.

Title: And Burn the Phoenix
Author: Livia (liviapenn)
Characters: Kon-El, Bart Allen, Tim Drake
Prompt: 08. Friendship
Rating: Teen
Length: Long (10000 words)
Brief summary: This is the only story in my list of recs in which Tim is not part of the main pairing. He's a supporting character in this one, but he's still absolutely integral. His friendship with Kon, in the spirit of the Teen Titans comic, really shines through. They really *know* each other, and care about each other, so of course Tim's the one Kon goes to when Bart's being more baffling than usual.

Title: Dodge-town
Author: Shrift (shrift)
Characters: Tim Drake, Dick Grayson
Prompt: 10. Fandom Cliché
Rating: Adult
Length: Medium (5000 words)
Brief summary: One of the most common fandom clichés found in DC fic is sex pollen. Hey, when your canon includes villains like Poison Ivy, you go with it. In this story, Dick is affected by some suspicious plants, and Tim's the only one around. It's a great take on a classic plotline, with wonderful characterization, blisteringly hot sex, and donuts.

Title: Can't Just Watch Forever
Author: Petra (petronelle)
Characters: Tim Drake, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd
Prompt: 20. Non-con
Rating: Adult
Length: medium
Brief summary: This story isn't non-con in the sense of someone being coerced into having sex against his will, but rather that of someone losing control of his body, and then having sex. Jason may be dead, but he still likes to make his presence known now and again. As a result, Tim and Dick have a lovely, *hot* little liaison in the Batcave.
