Chapter thirteen is up!

Chapter twelve of Bedrock is up!

*staring at draft* Bruce... is not in enough pain

hello I am back because I was thinking about the bbt universe again. I just can’t stop thinking about how Jason’s class background and his complete lack of outside resources and his lack of relatives made him the perfect target like it’s making my head spin 😵‍💫. Honestly it’s made me look at the power imbalance between them in canon a in a new way. He has nowhere to go. If he squeals he loses room and board and goes back into the system and that’s exactly what he was trying to avoid. If he talks it’s his word vs the richest man in Gotham and he’s some random street kid who probably has a record. He didn’t stand a chance 🙈

Jason was really a perfect target in that world. Even in a normal 'verse, tbh, the power dynamics between Jason and Bruce are so lopsided it's noteworthy-- Jason doesn't have/feel he has any other options but to look for his mother on his own after he and Bruce have a fight.

Thank you for the ask! :)

your obscure character bingo card :D

Oooh thank you! <3

I was going to try to do febuwhump, but I currently have dermabond on two of my fingers, so we'll see how typing goes.

I wrote some smut for the Clark/Apollo/Midnighter Warworld AU!

another question about between bloody teeth verse- what’s Cass up to? Was she still close to Bruce in this verse or did she keep her distance because she noticed something Off. Cass arrives before Damian and before Jason’s return so would she even have an opportunity to notice something Off before she was already entangled with Bruce? Canonically Cass starts out naive to things of “romantic” (really strong air quotes around “romantic” in this case) and sexual nature so would she even know what she looking at if she saw something Off about Bruce and Jason or Bruce and Damian?

You know, I'm not entirely sure. And I definitely should've thought about Cass more. (Perhaps I didn't because her ability to read people really complicates things.)

I was thinking that she saw Jason and Bruce interact and saw something so Off she took Stephanie and left Gotham. Maybe she didn't know what was happening, just that she was uncomfortable with it. Or maybe she convinced herself she was wrong. (Or maybe Bruce convinced her she was wrong.)

The fathers and sons vs. fathers and daughters differences in bbt deserve examining.

Hm.

*digs out writing notebook*

Jason never had any trouble understanding the concept of original sin. He was born a Todd.

Wouldn't it be.... fun... if the "I'm not your father" scene was paralleled with what Jason says to Dick about fathers and sons in between bloody teeth?

*stares at wall*

anon from before. “I’m not your father” combined with his search for a mother? Oh this kid desperately searching for a parent, any parent at all 🙈. And in the end he couldn’t find anyone to protect him

OW

And all of the parents he finds end up hurting him in one way or another...

Hi anon, I remembered the "I'm not your father" line from Bruce before Jason runs away and I am Inconsolable

I was thinking about the between bloody teeth au and how Bruce being a predator recontextualizes Jason’s desperate search for a mother and his eventual running away and how enthusiastic he is to embrace Sheila and how quick he is to trust her. After all of his terrible experiences with men and fathers Jason probably thought well maybe a woman/mother would be safe 😵‍💫

Oh...

Please pardon me while I stare at a wall and think about this for the next ten minutes. And possibly track down my writing notebook.

It is vital that in every DC fic I write there is background Superbat that confuses everyone involved
