I haven't seen much fanwork discussing Tim Drake after the whe BruceQuest debacle dealing with the JL fallout.
Like, his reputation was fucked over similar to the way electrical wiring gets fried after a fork gets stuck in a socket. That's a shit ton of damage that is permanent or needs to be cleared up.
Here's some ways that Tim's reputation (being so lost in grief that he is lost to delusions and grasping at straws) might affect him even after Bruce came back and resumed regular correspondence with the JL:
Red Robin is trying to help the JL with missions, but he keeps receiving microagressions from some members questioning his plans or evidence.
Red Robin has to constantly prove himself to new members of the JL or heroes just out and about in the field.
Tim is minding his own business as he runs his shit in another country when someone who's heard the rumors of Tim "losing it" tries to stop him.
Tim, who already had a shaky belief in the JL cause he (a child) had to step up to prevent Batman from killing someone, loses all faith in adult heroes. He justified to himself that maybe the JL just didn't realize how bad it was. Maybe that's why they didn't step in to prevent criminals from becoming Batman's victims. In the end, Tim had trusted them to do what was right when they had the information to do so. The BruceQuest tore that belief to shreds and removed the JL from the respected pedestals he had placed them on. He can't trust them to always do what was right. He had to ensure that they did what was right or that he did it by himself.
Anyways, gossip cultures can absolutely destroy and harm someone. I think Tim would suffer the effects of that. Yes, there's plenty of technology for information to be passed around fast. However, you can't discuss a lot of classified information over tech. The tech they do give out for classified information would ban usage of the tech for gossip. So, how does every hero find out? When they run into another hero who tells them. This could take years for some heroes to find out what has happened.
Combine this with Tim never receiving a public correction for what occurred? People might not realize that him "having a mental breakdown" was actually no one believing in him. They may not understand that he proved he was correct or that the two were even correlated. All the info passed down might just be that Batman's third Robin "lost it."
So, Tim has to constantly fight back against allegations and has to reaffirm that he is mentally sound.
There can be Clark, Dick, and other main heroes apologizing or feeling bad for their actions, but the consequences should go beyond that.
You could tie in other heroes that have suffered from the hero rumor mill. Roy and Tim could have a few chats about it. Heck, Jason and Tim could chat about it.

I've had this in my head for a lil bit now, but like,,, imagine bakugo comes out as gay in middle school, and all of the kids who were raised thinking it was bad or gross or weird etc was just like, "Well if bakugous gay,, it can't be *that* bad, right?" So basically, bakugo is so popular in middle school that he single handedly ends homophobia at aldera. And then immediately afterward, present mic came out on put your hands up saying he was gay, and bakugo and deku especially were worried abt the backlash he might receive. They were worried he'd lose his job and become homeless but he has so much money that after meeting him at ua (especially after that training thing with the jewelry robbing if yall remember) they realize he would've been fine. Like, they look at his wardrobe and shit and side eye each other yk and it's kinda like, "you're fucking kidding me,,," bc they were 13 years old and going through Twitter to see what ppl were saying, ready to defend him but everybody was chill about it bc it was obvious. And then at aldera ppl were saying present mic stole bakugous idea or some shit right "bakugou did it first 🙄🙄" or some stupid shit like that LMAOO. Or it's the other way around and present mic comes out and aldera kids are lowkey homophobic so bakugou comes out and everyone just switches up bc it's bakugo like nvm!! 😇😇🙏🙏

watching married to the game out of curiosity (lost 3 brain cells but anyway) and i just realised that the gods gave me the wrong life and job because if i were a WAG i'd be front row at every match insulting rival teams and posting indirects at referees on IG i'd be on the newspapers every day and the world would be so entertained about it

Prior to August 10, 1980, a rowboat (pictured above) was used by PCT hikers to cross the Middle Fork of the Feather River. Once the new bridge was completed in 1980, the boat was made obsolete and the boat was helicoptered away as shown in this photo. (Photo by: Michael Touchstone)

yeah i was going to make a post about the teen wolf that lives in my head but it is essentially my teen wolf fanfic, which is au season--it forks right at 2x10, and stiles does become a druid, and the virgin storyline has payoff lmao, and sterek is canon (after 15 years, do not look at me) and scott gets a better, more interesting storyline instead of being werewolf jesus, and most importantly allison never dies.
