Okay, so.
So this idea is stolen from
franavu 's story
here, so go give her kudos, because it's lovely and amazing.
Basically: Tim Drake is a detective with a mind like a steel trap, who is a total computer nerd and has been fighting crime pretty much since he could walk. Tim McGee is an NCIS agent who's a hacking genius, but really, really wants to be a field agent, though he dislikes his gun. Similar, much?
WARNING: Spoilers for through the end of Robin (v2) and up to (but not including) Bruce's...disappearence. And for NCIS, anything up to the end of season 7 is fair game. In Batman Beyond, Tim ends up quitting being Robin (See The Return of the Joker), so we're going with that canon-altering event. Set after Tim is adopted, but before Bruce...goes away.
A lot of NCIS episodes cement this idea for me, and I hereby handwave away all ones that directly contradict it, mmkay? *handwaves*
Current total cumulative wordcount: 13,360
So, there're gonna be seven parts:
Prologue (Living After Leaving) Five Times Tim Wasn't Sure What His Last Name Was (And One Time He Knew For Sure) Four Times Tim Revealed a Little Too Much (And One Time No One Noticed) Three Times A Bat Came A-Calling (And One Time Tim Called Them) Two Times Tim Almost Told Someone About Robin (And One Time Someone Found Out All On Their Own)
That One Time Jason Showed Up (And It All Pretty Much Went To Hell) No More Secrets Now with the added possibility of (because apparently I have no self-restraint):
That One Time He Took On A Vigilante Apprentice (But Only Just A Bit)
Two Times Tim Explained His Backstory (And One Time He Lied Through His Teeth About It)
Three Times Timothy Drake Saved An NCIS Agent (And One Time One Saved Him)
Four Times Tim Got Hugged (And One Time He Hugged Someone Back)
Five Times Tim Almost Gave His Team A Heart Attack On His Behalf (And One Time They Surprised Him)
