They are 2-3 years apart at most.

Jason also didn't get to be a teen for a few years, so Tim has the upper hand socially.

Tim is the preppy jock

Red Hood : I used to have another name, before... A long time ago. But that person is dead now. I get to choose for myself now, they can't take that from me. I won't let them.

Goon: Huh.

Random Goon: Say boss, why do you never take off your shirt in front of us?

Red Hood: Well uh, I actually have that really fucked scar on my chest and I'm not comfortable with...

Random Goon: Don't worry boss, we get it, you don't have to explain yourself to us.

***

Red Hood, high on some toxin: God, I wish my family...

Random Goon (on boss-sitting duty): why not try reaching out to them?

Red Hood: They would never accept me as I am now... They wouldn't agree with my so-called "life choices". Besides, they don't miss me, they miss the person they think I used to be... I wasn't even a man when I last saw them.

Random Goon: Damn boss, that sucks.

it didn’t even dawn on me-

Jason Todd in the last 24 hours:

All the while he was in teen titans and young justice. His best friend died. He did cloning experiments? He watched Santa die?? He traveled the multiverse several times? Stephanie was pregnant at some point? He dated so many girls? His future self is evil and loves to psychologically torment his present day self? Wild

When did you have the time Tim? When?

Because bat bois au has struck and I honestly said fuck the entire time line/story line. And I present all the boys meeting up in LoA when jay is there and then thus confusing the fuck out of Bruce when they escape. “Where the fuck did all these highly trained children and teens come from??? The fuck-“

May include

Talon Dick Grayson

Catatonic Jason Todd (for a bit)

Young tech savvy trained by shiva/Ra’s Tim Drake

And Baby Damian Wayne who can and will kill you with his tiny hands.

(I desperately want to add cass. And I will but I have to plot.)

Anyway.

It actually started off as a big bro Jason au because I WAS a Jason finatic but then I found out about Tim and everything went down hill so like this would start off with Tim his parents are decent here (idk I saw a lil thing and that’s where this is mostly stemmed from) but long story short they pay Ra’s to have their son trained. (If I can find the post I’ll link it at the bottom later.)

He spends time with shiva. It’s not fun but when Ra’s checks in he takes an interest. He spends more time around the kid and eventually moves him to his island. He takes up teaching Tim himself but time running out and Tim’s parents want their son back. Long story short (again) Ra’s lies to Tim saying they abandoned him and that the only family he has is the league.

Upon that Damian is now a thing and Ra’s is grooming Tim to be his grandsons right hand man and strategist. The two don’t really get to know each other because dami is training and is still VERY FUCKING YOUNG but this new character gets introduced and Tim starts seeing him with Damian. He doesn’t speak much, he always wears a mask, and he moves in a way that screams wrong.

Basing this part off of a fic I read.(will also mention in bottom) But essentially Jason is catatonic and Talia has brain washed him with commands and shit. Also not entirely a shit person either because I hate Talia slander (mostly) and we will not elaborate on how Damian was created because that story line is about as reliable as crepe paper. Anyway the three are kinda raised together, around damis birthday the court of owls drops on by (honestly this probably would never happen unless they planned to expand their grasp to the rest of the world. And like I said fuck the canon and the time line and literally everything I do what I want.)

But yeah graysons gramps and him are stopping by, Ra’s insists that they show the young talon the compound. They do (also Jason’s not catatonic here probably hasn’t been for months) but anyway.

Eventually talon visitations turn permanent the four are training together and Ra’s and graysons (great but I’m not really giving two fucks and ima just say grandfather) grandfather are working together.

All the while the boys Jason and Dick are shcemeing to get them out of there. Both know a lot of what is going on here is certainly not right and beyond inhumane. However Tim sees Ra’s taking him in as something he would never be able to pay the man back for (also doesn’t help that Ra’s says as much. Constantly bringing up how he’d be nothing but a frail teen with a silver spoon in his mouth if it weren’t for him.)

Also both Dick and Jason were robins. Dick ended up with his grandfather after the man surfaced up ‘out of the blue’ and claimed dick as his and that he should be the one to care for him. Ultimately it was dicks choice. I say that but it reality it wasn’t. And Jason has similar story to his original you know wheel stealer and all but almost with a Tim start to it he manages to get into the cave. One uncovering that B is also Batman and two insisting he take up robin. And like Bruce is not against it the only reason dick had stopped was because his life with his grandfather had caused it to not be plausible.

Anyway. After some scheming they finally get out with some help from Talia and are now on their way back to Gotham.

I do not have much planned around this other than lots of big bro Jason and dick.

There’s funny lil things I think about like how during the visits early on in the league/court visits Dick and Tim probably had hacking competitions and Tim won once and never lets him live it down.

But yeah I’m kinda grabbing shit a from shows/comics/ and fanon as well as my own lil thoughts and I love it.

Bruce will eventually get his boys but I enjoy him confused over where the hell all these highly trained children came from.

I am BEGGING YOU GUYS HES A BIRD

Tim: good cop

Damian: bad cop

End result he altered the past with a joke.

so Tim is like “yeah, I can fix him” and batfam is like “NO TIM YOU CANT, HES A PSYCHOPATH WITH ANGER ISSUES” because at that point it’s been two years(??) and there’s been no to little improvement when it comes to Jason’s behavior

Tim being the stubborn bastard he is doesn’t listen though and in the following weeks (months??) just starts slowly forcing Jason to self reflect and take care of himself. I like to think Tim is threatening Jason with non-lethal violence and/or inconveniencing Jason to an unholy degree (one of said threats is Tim saying he’ll pull up to Jason’s safe house in a Red Hood costume and start shooting him)
