Personally, I always see early Robin days!Timmy superimposed upon current canon Tim.
I think it's just because I'd like to believe that somewhere inside, that sweet little kid still exists underneath all the douche (and he does, it's just a little difficult to look past the douche). The one that became Robin because he didn't want to see this person that he really admired become something that he wasn't. The one that idolised Dick Grayson and Batman. The one who tried his hardest and assumed a role that he didn't necessarily want but thought he had to take because it was the right thing to do.
I'd think that he would feel more than a little lost. Because the two things that he believed would always be a constant... aren't anymore. And that he'd need something- an event, a revelation- to set him on a path that he thinks is acceptable. (In a What Would Batman/Dick Do? way)
... Does that help any? (I really, really want to read a chaptered fic by you.)
