Tim's parents faked their deaths and fled the country years ago, but neglected to take him with them. He spent some time on the streets, and now at 16, he makes a living as a fortune teller, stalking and hustling the shit out of Gotham's elite by telling them eerily accurate fortunes based on the information he gathers about them.
His life is peculiar but he wouldn't change a thing. When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.
or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist. But it seems they just won't leave him alone. I enjoyed this a lot! Oh Tim.

Lovely Secret Garden AU with Tim as Mary and Damian as Colin.
A Crime Alley Carol byCarabesh
Jason Todd is alone on Christmas eve and only truly wishes for one thing, sadly, no one in his family ever really learned how to properly communicate. Oh heart.
equivalent exchange byscribblemetimbers
Tim makes a deal with a demon to bring Jason back. This does not go the way anyone planned. This is a good read.
Granted the Serenity byFaiaSakura
What does it mean to come back to life as an accidental wrinkle in the fabric of reality? Jason Todd might not know the meaning of life, but he does figure out the meaning of his life, somewhere in between killing the Joker and ringing the doorbell to Wayne Manor. Jason's trip through the multiverse helps him find himself and also a way to help Gotham. Oh Jason... I enjoyed this!

Enjoyable time loop story! Bruce dies a lot, though, so be warned for that.
heaven is each other bystarlistic
A cluster of eight kids find themselves telepathically connected to each other; the cries of one reaches all the others, no matter where they are. A Sensate-style AU featuring the Batkids. Fun!
Jason Todd's guide to finding out if your dad's been replaced byprofoundalpacakitten
Jason sighs as he lowers his binoculars, chewing gum on one lonely Gotham rooftop. He leans against a gargoyle, thinking.
So Batman has been… exchanged. Kidnapped, swapped, captured, mind controlled maybe.
This changes his plans somewhat.
Fuck. This is hilarious!
meanwhile, the wild geese bybacondoughnut
He's gotten fairly sick of the League and their stupid nicknames, but maybe they're not wrong. Maybe Jason isn't just the thing that dies, maybe he's more. He comes back, too. He's alive, too. Long, intensely emotional sequel to "The bird, the fog, the mist" (previously recced).
nightcall byTheResurrectionist
The one where an enterprising GCPD member uses the batsignal to ask the local vigilantes for translation help, and the Batfamily knows WAY too many languages. Short but fun.
Note to Self bylibrarylexicon
It's time for Bruce, Dick and Tim to return to Gotham after a year away in the wake of Gotham's gang war and the subsequent crises, but Tim is still struggling with grief from losing his father, stepmother and best friends. However, an accidental encounter with a future version of himself just might be able to give him the perspective and closure he needs to move on. Oh Tim.
Raising Alfred byEmilyArmadillo
Alfred had a secret: he's an immortal who, after dying, returns to infancy and ages at an accelerated rate until he returns to adulthood. After his death at the hands of Bane, the family is left to raise the man who raised them. These are the first eight days (which is to say, sixteen years) in the next life of Alfred Pennyworth. <333
The Year Of Wishful Thinking bywaterunderthebridge12
"I would like to be a better parent to you all," Bruce said. "My resolution is to keep us like this—under one roof, together."
It's a new year, and with all of his kids talking to him for once, Bruce resolves to be a better parent. But with Alfred gone and Dick acting strange, Bruce realises there are some things even he isn't prepared for. Bruce tries and learns that sometimes trying once isn't enough. Oh my heart. And the Cass-centric sequel:
The House and Crow bywaterunderthebridge12
Oh Cass. <333
