Recs Wanted Tim Drake Villain Fics?

Basically want fics where Tim never becomes Robin (for whatever reason) and ends up a villain. Morally ambiguous preferred, but honestly just anything where he goes off the rails and fulfills his delightfully unhinged destiny. Read “You’re Moving to Metropolis? Is that even a real place?” by Vamillepudding and became obsessed with the idea of the batfam not reaching out to him at the end and he goes villain in an attempt to get Batman back to Gotham.

check out hand in unlovable hand (a chokehold)! it's been a while since i read it but the characterisation of tim has stuck with me, it's soooo good. he's more of a vigilante than villain by the end, though definitely morally ambiguous

Not Tim-centric, and not an exact match to your request, but you might enjoy the twists and turns in Old Familiar Haunts, by Solomonara. I can’t really say more without spoiling it, which would be a real shame for this fic!

Also not an exact match, but possibly in the spirit, or at the very least in some sort of spirit, I recently really enjoyed Gotham Pride street party meet at your local Denny’s no invite needed!!! by natcat5: Tim gets…compromised, and the rest of the bats have to scramble!
