A hello/good-bye kiss that is given without thinking - where neither person thinks twice about it. is so jaytim
you’re right nonny it so is
my first impulse was like—the two of them getting accidentally domestic, bc i love characters falling into relationships without realizing it xD
but then this scenario popped in my head & that’s what came out instead~
>> AO3 <<
Jason hasn’t been sleeping well.
His rest is troubled on a good day, and he hasn’t had many over the last week.
Well. It’s not that he’s had bad days, it’s just…
He misses Tim.
It’s stupid, because his bedroom is literally right across from Tim’s, but— It might as well be on the other side of the world.
He wishes they’d never agreed to stay at the manor for the holidays. It’s been miserable. Sure, he and Bruce are setting a record streak for lack of arguments. It’s been fun to hang out with the others, too, outside of the Cave and the mask. But—
Fuck.
The closest he’s gotten to a proper cuddle in a week was movie night, when he sat on the floor just to have an excuse to lean against Tim’s legs.
Jason knows he only has himself to blame. He’s the one who’s not ready to tell the others that they’re dating, even though they’ve damn near moved in together at this point. He just—he’s not ready for the judgment. The lectures, the shovel talks, the—everything. The reminder he’s not really good enough for Tim.
Knowing that doesn’t make it any easier.
Neither do the small, fleeting moments they manage to steal—the kisses they exchange in the lesser used parts of the manor, the brief hugs and touches they can exchange in front of the others. It’s. It’s fucking miserable.
He’s spent the last several nights lying awake, actively restraining himself from sneaking into Tim’s room. He just… He misses being held.
It’s the lack of sleep he’ll blame his slip-up on later, when all is said and done.
Tim’s got some stuff to do in the city today—Jason does too, but not until later—so Jason takes the liberty of making him a coffee and some breakfast to go, since he knows Tim won’t be down until it’s almost time to leave. He gets a couple of raised eyebrows, but, it’s not unusual for him to take the load off of Alfred, so no one actually says anything.
“You said you had plans today, right, Jason?” Dick asks, where he’s sitting at the breakfast table with Steph, Damian, Cass, and Duke. Bruce is standing with Alfred, the butler adjusting his tie like Bruce is twelve, and not forty-something.
“Yeah,” Jason says. “I’ll be gone for a couple hours.” First he has some packages to pick up, and also, every other week, he does story time at the library he used to half-live in as a child.
Tim shuffles in. Jason is glad Bruce will be driving—he looks like a zombie (and Jason would know). It takes him half a moment to spot the travel cup and paper bag sitting by Jason. He beelines over.
“Th’nks,” he mumbles, immediately popping the lid on his cup to take a long drink.
“Cool,” Dick says. “When you get back I was thinking we could break out the board games.”
Alfred finishes with Bruce. “Provided you all remember the rules, I think that sounds like a splendid idea, Master Dick.”
Jason snorts. One of these years they’re going to have all board and card games banned from the Manor.
“Ready to go, Tim?” Bruce asks.
“Sure, Dickie,” he says. “I’d love a chance to kick your ass.” His fingers catch in Tim’s belt loop before he can head to the door. He leans in, thoughtlessly, planting a chaste kiss on Tim’s mouth. “Have a good day, babe.”
Tim hums, smiling softly up at him. “You too.”
Jason almost doesn’t register the silence.
Then—
“What the fuck?” Stephanie breaks it, and Jason is reminded, abruptly, that they’re not alone.
The blood rushes to his face so quickly he’s surprised he doesn’t pass out; his skin ablaze with his embarrassment. “…fuck.”
That’s one way to announce their relationship.

Its Sad Theory Time
I’m thinking about Captain Lovelace. Thinking about all the crew members she lost. Thinking about how much she blames herself for their death. Thinking about how severe the survivor’s guilt most be.
And now I’m thinking about her ‘death’ during the mutiny. I’m thinking about how, when Kepler was deciding which one of them to kill, she spoke up right before the end of his ‘Eeny, meeny miny, moe’ bit was over. That timing…I believe it’s significant. Let me explain
Because it’s a podcast, we can never really know who he was going to pick. But Lovelace and Eiffel were there. They would know. And I would bet you, Kepler was going to pick Eiffel. Lovelace realized it, at the end there.
So she speaks up. She tells Kepler to fuck off. She spits in his face and says she pities him and, in Doug’s words, she does everything to poke the bear. And it works. Kepler shoots her.
Now, this could be interpreted several other ways. Maybe Kepler was going to pick Lovelace and she realized that, so instead of just letting it happen, she brought it on herself. She took her last stand, robbing him of the satisfaction he would’ve got from killing her. And I think that’s very plausible.
But what if…
Im thinking about Captain Lovelace, still carrying that survivors guilt. I’m thinking about Captain Lovelace realizing that she’s about to lose another one of her crew members. I’m thinking about her deciding that she will not, cannot, let another one of her friends die, how she cannot be the sole survivor again.
So she pokes the bear. She does everything she can to divert Kepler’s attention away from Eiffel and onto her. She metaphorically throws herself in front of the bullet meant for him. That was a meditated, conscious decision.
Right before she dies, Lovelace tells Eiffel that she had to do this. She had to save him, because she failed to save so many others. Maybe Captain Lovelace really just couldn’t hold her tongue. But I think it’s a lot more plausible that the Captain knew exactly what she was doing.

Actually insane that BBH thought giving charlie an egg “named” juanaflippa would calm him down like-
Bro…
I personally wish he had succeeded in his crusade of killing the eggs (not including Tilín since charlie is kind of a prental figure for her lol)
Like him being a cringefail dad/murderer is funny dgmw, but it sort of felt like most of the ppl didn’t actually want to. Help him. They want to appease him so he doesnt try to do anything to them, which. Objectively he probably wouldnt have succeeded.
Honestly i think he would have had some sort of breakthrough with Fit had BBH and Rorier (I believe it was them but correct me if im wrong) not interrupted them. Maybe. But also later in the stream he also wanted to simply appease charlie so who knows.
But regardless i think he should have had a little bit of murder. As a treat :)
Little bit of an edit teehee:
I just wanted to add that him not killing anyone def fits more in line w his character and him more so just mourning than anything else, i just like seeing characters kill ppl thats just. A me thing-
