Summary
“Are you okay?” Bruce asks, and Tim doesn’t know whether he means mentally or physically. The latter is easier to answer, so he goes with that.
“I’m fine, I think. My nose hurts, and I think my wrist might be slightly sprained, but I’m fine.”
Dick sighs. “Just go home, baby bird. We’ll be better off without you.”
Tim stops himself from flinching and holds back tears. He nods silently.
“Go home and rest, okay? Take a break.” Bruce doesn’t sound mad anymore, just tired. Tim nods again, not trusting his voice enough to speak. He turns and leaves the warehouse, walking out onto the moonlit streets of Gotham.

Or: Tim tries to kill himself, and Jason is the only person who can stop him.

Summary
Red Robin spun around to face her, jabbing a finger in her face. “No. No, we don’t. We don’t have to talk about any of this because some idiot little eleven-year-old thought that maybe if he was special his parents would give a damn about him. I don’t have depression, I’m not a risk, and I can do my job perfectly fine. He-- He doesn’t know anything.”
Jason’s eyes narrowed. “You can’t just avoid this, Tim.”
“I can and I will because there’s nothing to avoid in the first place,” Red Robin hissed. “I am fine.”
aka in which, little Tim spills a secret Red Robin isn’t ready to face and discovers his future self isn’t someone he wants to become.

You Look Just Like Me When You Get Sad by odymcbea

Summary
The world ended when Tim was asleep. No one else seemed to notice.
He woke to a grey apocalypse, saw the world shrouded in an eyelid haze, and went back to sleep.
When he woke again, the haze remained. So he got up, put on his clothes, and went to work. He sat through every meeting and remembered none of it. He ate lunch and tasted nothing. He walked home. It was January and he’d forgotten his coat, but if his body shook from the cold, he didn’t notice.
On patrol, he broke three knuckles and didn’t make a sound.
Or, Tim is depressed. Someone finally notices.

It's been a year since Tim came back to Gotham after his trip around the world to save Bruce. When he goes missing, Dick takes a look into his laptop looking for clues, and instead finds something that will shatter everything he knew about himself and his relationship to his estranged brother. Carefully constructed lies to protect himself are brutally smashed to pieces by the video he finds and he wonders if he can ever make up for all the ways in which he hurt Tim.

Summary
“Okay,” Jason says. He steps forward again; Tim steps back. His heel teeters off the edge now. Jason goes very still. “Do you…want some help getting down from here? I can help you. We can go together.” He holds out his gloved hand expectantly, hopefully.
Tim looks back over his shoulder at the roaring waves below. “There are probably people somewhere who need your help.”
“That’s why I’m here with you.”
“I don’t need any help.”
“It kind of looks like you do.”

Summary
A lot of people tell Tim that he looks just like his mother.
They share the same eye color and shape, often cold and calculating. The same sharp smiles and ghostly pale skin, and the same, lean body frames that could almost be described as delicate.
One last thing they have in common is an orange pill bottle.
The only difference is the name.
(Or how parents pass things on to their children.)

Summary
Jason hadn’t gotten to meet his soulmate before he died. That was a fact. Tim’s soulmark had gone grey for six months when he was thirteen, that was also a fact. Jason had returned from the pit blemish free but with the same soulmark. A bird just outside his cage, getting ready to fly. It’s a robin. Tim knows that and Jason knows that.
No one else knows, because soulmarks are sacred and to reveal it before you meet your other is seen as uncouth. Jason hadn’t cared and so, his soulmark was buried deep in the archives of the bat computer, but Tim cared very much so it didn’t make much of a difference.
or:
Jason realizes his soulmate is Tim during the Titan's tower attack, it takes them three years and a near-drowning to come to terms with it.Series

Summary
For a moment, Tim wonders why he gives these people any sort of time, because the only two people who would want him to be polite are six feet under and indefinitely comatose in the hospital. And then he thinks of Mrs. Roberts and imagines her telling him to be polite. The very thought digs into his very soul, aching and raw. Even at his own mother’s funeral, he craves for someone else to fill the void in his heart.
Or:
Tim has mommy issues, and what better place to project them than his high school English teacher?
