Bank Security Guard Danny AU
So, the People of Gotham are extremely desensitized to Rouge Attacks at this point. It got to the point that whenever a person gets a job at the Bank, they have a whole 1 Hour Training Video on how to deal with a Rouge Attack right.
So, when they hire a New Security Guard from a lesser known Security Company, they don't even bother showing him the Training Video. They assume that he'll either Die or Drop them within a Week.
Danny, for the record, did not know how bad the Rouge problem truly was. All he knew was that some random guy in a Ski Mask had just walked into the bank like he owned the place and started showing off a Gun telling everybody to get on the ground.
Danny did the sensible thing and Knocked him the Fuck Out.
Then, the same thing happened the very next day, but this time it was an entire group of people. Danny had them dealt with before the first person had gotten to the floor.
Then the same thing happened the Same Day!
By the end of the week he had become a Legend among the Citizens of Gotham. There was only a single Bank in all of Gotham that had avoided being robbed for a Whole Week, and it was all because of this one Security Guard who was freakishly good at his Job.
By the end of the Month, most criminals don't even bother trying that Bank anymore. It got worse when he got loaned out as Security for another Bank, and the same thing happened again.
Eventually, he ends up rotating shifts in Every Bank in Gotham, and it becomes a Game for the Criminals to see if the Bank they try to Rob is the one Danny is in that night. And they can't even reasonably predict his next location, since he always moves around at Random!
No matter what Bank he is in, he always manages to beat the Crooks trying to Rob the Bank.
Then it gets weird. Due to a scheduling Mix Up, Danny ends up being scheduled for 2 different Banks on the same day, each across the city from the other.
One Bank reports that Danny stopped a gang from Robbing them at 6:00 PM, which really confuses the other Bank because Danny did the same thing in their Bank at the same time. Security Footage proves it, Danny was somehow in 2 places at once.
They decide not to confront him about it, but they do test a theory. They intentionally hire him at multiple different Banks at the same time for a week. He shows up to work every time without fail.
By now they have basically confirmed that he must be a Meta, but they don't really care anyways. Now he can protect multiple Banks at once with his usual perfect Efficiency, and he'll be payed accordingly as well. The Banks get protected well, and he gets payed Extreme Overtime by the Banks, everybody wins!
Well...except for the Crime Bosses of Gotham.
Before this, it was a Game for them to try and beat Danny. They didn't really care since a single Uber Competent Security Guard was still perfectly fine for business, sure they would fail a Job once in a while if they ran into him, but he could only be in 1 place at a time. It wasn't a Huge Loss.
But now it was too much. They needed to take care of him.
Assassination Attempts didn't work. He was just as competent Off the job as he was On it, so they could never get to him.
They tried attacking his Bosses, but then they hired themselves to protect...themselves. It was hard to kill his Bosses when he was constantly Bodyguarding all of them at once.
Attempts to get to him through his Family were...let's not talk about that...
It continued on like this for a while.
...
Soooo...I don't know how to end this one.
Go ahead and put your own spin on this Prompt! The basic idea is that Danny is using his Duplication Power to get to every shift on Time, and he is really annoying the Local Crime Bosses.
What do you think?

I JUST SAW THESE POSTS OF DANNY BEING RAS AL GHUL CHILD LIKE THE FIRST THAT IS LIKE 25-30 YEARS OLDER THAN TALIA AND MAKE MY BRAIN WORKS FUCKING WIGGLE!?!?!??
anyway
Danny established the status quo and the disappeared for 20-60 years and the is summoned by Ra where he’s like “Dad you could’ve have called my personal phone you know that right?” And Ra’s like “YOU WENT OFF THE GRID FOR YEARS AND NEVER TOOD ME-!!??!? Now do you look different? Are you eating? What’s with comingoutthesummoningcirclefortheghostking? HMMM???”
“Ah- I knew I forgot something! Let me tell you all about it! I see you brought the whole fam and in laws let’s have dinner and discuss it- AWWWW THATS BABIES!!!” *Damian, Jason, Tim, and Dick being referred to as “babies”*
“Excuse me.” Danny then fucking tackles them in hugs and loves while dodging and/or holding their punches and kicks
"My maternal uncle is coming for a visit and likely evaluate my living arrangements.. We must be at our absolute best when he is here. " Damian announces one evening right as the family is finishing preparing for a night of crime fighting.
Everyone freezes from their respective stations, twisting around to stare at the young Robin in confusion. He doesn't notice; he is too busy making sure his katana is sharpened to perfection and balancing it on his fingertips.
"Baby Bat?" Dick calls, "What do you mean by that?"
Damian pauses in his prep work, approaching the eldest with a pretty impressive scowl. " Mother sent a messenger a few days ago about Uncle's plan audit. Should we fail it, I shall be removed into a different household."
"An audit? Removed?" Steph repeats, confused, but Damian has no idea why. He thought it was pretty apparent that Uncle Daniel would be scoring them, which would determine if Damian would be allowed to continue living within them. He has done so to all of Ra Al Ghul's offspring, and nothing his Grandfather has done has been able to stop him.
How could they think they would have more power than his grandfather?
"When shall Dusan be here?" Father asks, quickly switching on the home security. "What kind of attack should we expect?"
Damian scoffs, "Not the White Ghost. Uncle Dusan is on the other side of the world on a mission for Grandfather. No, Uncle Daniel will be the one conducting the suit. He is the eldest, after all."
Father's eyes narrow behind the white lenses of his masks. "I was unaware your mother had more siblings."
Damian considers the words, wondering how he could politely- at least he shames Alfred- remind his father that his grandfather has been around for hundreds of years. Staying at his peak through the usage of the Lazarus Pit, he has never been short of lovers.
And sometimes those lovers have given him children, many who aged and died naturally, as none has deemed worthy of the Lazarus. All except for one, the First Son, who has never needed the Pits but remained youthful and powerful on his own.
The perfect heir.
It's too bad he had abdicated long before Damian was even a thought.
"Grandfather has had many children, but Uncle Daniel is different. Special. He is the First Son."
"Capital letters," Todd cuts in, shaking his head. "It's never good when the League of Assiasans assigns capital letters. How strong is he?"
"He could easily best Grandfather and all under Grandfather's command," Damian replies, watching as the rest of the vigilantes grew uneasy by the information. It's good that they are wear of Uncle Daniel's power but they have nothing to fear of his wrath. "Uncle Daniel is a pacifist. He carries a protective core."
"A Al Ghul that a pacifist? I'll believe it when I see it." Drake droned as he was clipping on his utility belt. At once, Damian felt his body grew hot with rage. No matter what, it seemed Drake would always curse his family.
The way he says the family name drips with disrespect as if the other teen was saying a swear.
"My Uncle Daniel is a great man!" He shouts, gripping his sword so har his knuckles ache. Drake's face twists as if though he smelled something foul and the rage burning in Damian's chest spreads to his whole body.
He is just about to reach for his throwing knives when a familiar cold hand settles into his hair. "Aw thank you Little One. I love you too."
"Uncle Daniel!" Damian shouts excitably, forgetting the fool he was about to run his blades through. His uncle stands before him, the same darl night hair, warm blue eyes, and a crooked smile that had secretly comforted him in his youth.
"Where in the world did he come from!?" Damian hears one of Father's adopted brutes gasp but does not care to see who as his uncle quickly reels him in for a hug.
Hugging Uncle Daniel was like being wrapped in warm blankets in winter. He always ran rather cold, but it was lovely to be wrapped in his arms and surrounded by his protection.
It felt like nothing in the world could harm him from here.
"You seem well, Little One. Are you happy?" His uncle says. The delict of their native tongue is another comfort Damian can sink into.
"I am." He allows, snuggling his face against his stomach, as childish as it is. If only he could grow taller like his father.
"Wonderful. I'm so glad." His uncle then switches to English, ignoring all the weapons drawn and pointing at him from the Bats. Damian steps back to admire the man he wishes to grow into. "I'm terribly sorry for arriving so late, nephew. You must be tired. When is your bed time?"
"I do not have a bedtime." Damian scoffs. Uncle Daniel frowns, reaching into his chest to pull out a clipboard and a pen- he'll never get used to his uncle storing things within himself no matter how often he sees it. Damian is pretty sure he heard someone gag.
A soft click is heard as his uncle opens the pen and quickly scribbles something down. He is not tall enough to see what is written, but he can see clearly as day that his uncle selected the red ink of the muli-color pen he is using.
He only uses red when he is doing bad things. Damian breaks into a sweat. "What was that? Uncle what did you just write?"
"No bedtime. Tsk tsk." Uncle Daniel mutters, looking around the cave with disapproval. "No proper heating living space."
"Oh no! I do not live down here. This is merely the training grounds. We live upstairs" Damian quickly says, waving his hands frantically in the air as his uncle's unimpressed look. Curses, the auduit just began and already he got bad markings.
"Would you care for a tour? I shall not be going on patrol-"
"He forces you to fight crime? At your age?" Uncle barks, throwing a look of utter disgust at Father. It's the same one he gives Grandfather whenever the older man tries to raise child soldiers.
Even Damian had not been sent on any missions. His childhood had been intense training but nothing that was life-threatening.
"I volunteered to go!" He tries to defend Father, but his uncle only clicks his pen and scrambles more red ink on his paper.
Drat and Damian were actually enjoying living at the manor. He will likely have to say goodbye to it all and be moved to some house Uncle deemed more child-friendly.
"What is your diet here? Have you been taken to the doctor? Any form of therapy?" His uncle fires each question quickly, walking through Todd and Cain when they try to apprehend him without a glance.
His uncle is, and not to sound like the fools of his school, so cool.

Hello, hope you're having a good day/night
I was wondering if I could request Bruce x Bat Dad (and some bat fam)
What if reader knew about the darker things in the world like demons and horrors unimaginable from the time he was small and that's why he doesn't talk about things like growing up or his family.
What if reader gets captured by a cult that torture him in order to force reader to translate strange eldritch books and artifacts.
You can choose how long it takes for Bruce to find reader
(What if Bruce and the batfam find out that reader has been hunting and investigating the supernatural like a small base of operations that looks more like a library with hidden weapons)
Hi, I hope you have a good day or night too. Of course you can request. Hehe. Lets go. Also, I'm sorry for taking so long... I hope you like it! And yes, the ending may be rushed, but it's not that bad.
Summary: (Y/N) gets taken for his knowledge.
Warnings: cult, fight, implications of torture... Nothing is really direct per say.
Tumblr media
(Y/N) sighed as he closed his old leather book. He wished he didn't have this knowledge, this... (Y/N) swallowed as he put his book back and left the room, closing the fake bookcase. He rubbed his face as he was tired from this life. He wished he didn't have this knowledge. He knows the things that would turn the world upside down.
He met with hell's worst demons and he saw some of the other unspeakable horrors. (Y/N) never had a good life. He grew up in a satanic cult, the one who was genuinely believing that Satan is coming and that they are going to be his loyal servants.
He was apparently marked by Satan when he was born, but then again, when you are in a cult, you believe what they tell you. (Y/N) escaped when he was 16 years old, running like the devil himself was chasing him. (Y/N) came to Gotham with only clothes on his back.
Soon he met a nice guy who helped him. (Y/N) is smart and intelligent and he managed to start high school. He graduated after 3 years and went on to study history and religion at college. He was always interested in those things and soon enough, he found himself working in a museum.
It was a nice change of pace for once. Learning about old things and older religions and he liked it when he could teach someone something new. Of course, he was vigilant of new people and people in general. He was careful when meeting someone new, hoping that the cult didn't go after him. He could only hope so.
Dating after being in a cult it's difficult. Always suspicious of any one coming into his life romantically. Men or women, being suspicious from the get go was a certified way to see if someone was from the cult. It was also one of the fastest ways to get your relationship destroyed.
Then Bruce Wayne came into his life.
It was a coincidence. Bruce saw an interesting exhibition and decided to treat Damian to a little treat. (Y/N) was making his way through the museum, just enjoying his day and making sure every visitor was taken care of. He saw Bruce and Damian, looking in confusion.
(Y/N) walked over and asked if everything was okay and the rest was history. He lead the two through the museum, enjoying the fact that Damian knew a lot about history and it was actually fun to debate a child who knew something over a fact.
Bruce was quiet, enjoying the tour and well... Love at first sight for Bruce. He was chatting with (Y/N) and saw how guarded he was. Sure, everyone is guarded around strangers, but this is a whole another level of being guarded.
Bruce was rather intrigued, but he didn't want to push any boundaries. So he left (Y/N) his number, saying no pressure to say yes, but do call.
To say (Y/N) was a nervous wreck is an understatement. What the hell was Bruce Wayne doing with him? Was he just looking for a one night stand? Or was just flirting to keep with the playboy persona? He came home and stared at the card for 10 minutes, thinking about it.
Should he?
Should he not?
You know what? He's not made from glass. He will go for it and whatever happens, happens. He texted Bruce, he wasn't really brave enough to call. He really wasn't.
He jumped when he saw that Bruce responded.
To cut a very long story short, Bruce and (Y/N) are together to this day. The date went very well and (Y/N) was happy for the first time. He has never been happier. Together with a man who loves him and the kids who love him.
(Y/N) may love the kids more than Bruce, but Bruce won't complain. Anyone who accepted his kids, he was more than happy and if that person loved the kids more than Bruce...
Of course, in platonic way.
But there was something that bothered the family, well, not bothered, but it was interesting to them. It was (Y/N)'s past. It was something he hid and refused to talk about. He would get closed off and cold and soon enough they learnt to not ask about it.
Of course, in a family full of detectives, they wanted to investigate, but they knew that they shouldn't have because it was an invasion of privacy. So, they have decided to leave (Y/N)'s past alone.
Also, one thing that they loved about (Y/N) was the fact that he was teaching them history, something they all loved. Jason was a fan of Egypt and Sumerians. Dick loved European history, more so medieval times. Tim loved the Enigma and the making of a first computer?
And Damian? World War Two and Arabic history.
Alfred loved (Y/N) too and he would love nothing more for Bruce to marry that man. God knows that this household needs another emotionally stable person. Somewhat...
Alfred was not the one to complain.
He saw how (Y/N) and Bruce complimented one another and Bruce gave (Y/N) a push to write his book about history of religion. (Y/N) has always wanted to write that and Bruce gave him a push he needed. But not financially.
(Y/N) said he would do it all on his own. Bruce had no problem with that statement. He agreed to not pull connections with anyone or any publishing house. But he wasn't against getting (Y/N) his materials. He had no problem delivering the materials right to his door or at his work.
(Y/N) knew that Bruce was Batman so he knew that Bruce was in front of his apartment or in his office. (Y/N) enjoyed and was happy to see them.
(Y/N) entered his apartment and went to the kitchen. He was completely oblivious to the fact that there was a dark figure in his living room. (Y/N) took a sip of the water before he heard a creak on the floor board. He acted like it was nothing before throwing the glass in the direction on the sound. He hit the figure and (Y/N) grabbed a knife.
(Y/N) watched as the figure doubled down in pain, before recovering. The figure has stepped into the light and (Y/N) recognized the face.
" You motherfucker... " (Y/N) said as he gripped the handle of the knife tighter.
" That's no way to talk to your leader. " The deep male voice said and (Y/N) sized him up.
Maybe he can make it out. But the leader is strong and full of muscles. He has to evade him. Somehow.
That plan went down to shit when he saw two more figures. Sure, the leader needs to have protection. (Y/N) glanced between the trio. Someone is going to attack first.
Which one is the question.
(Y/N) ducked a punch and tried to stab the incoming one, but he was hurled over the couch, taking it with him. (Y/N) grunted as he hit the floor and he stood up after a few moments. He didn't have his knife with him.
Shit.
He nearly died when there was a fourth figure picking him up, before throwing him into his glass coffee table. (Y/N) grunted as he hit his head. He hissed as he tried to get up, but a kick to his face sent him flying back and he was dazed.
" I'm not coming with you. " (Y/N) said as he wiped the blood from his face.
" Oh you are. We know you can translate the demon transcriptions. And we need those translations. " The leader said and (Y/N) glared at them.
He won't go out without a fight.
" You are outnumbered. There is no way out. " The leader said and (Y/N) glanced at the other two. They were blocking the exit. They only way is to fight out or at least try.
But there was no weapon in sight. So he was screwed. Kicking and punching his way out can only take him so far.
But he had to try.
So he did just that. He tried to fight, but he was punched in the jaw quickly that he was nearly knocked. He fell down, hitting his head hard once more.
His vision was swimming and he couldn't see who was where anymore. His only hope now was Bruce. He knew Bruce would drop by later in the night and that he would find him. Bruce would never stop looking for him.
The kiddos too...
His jaw got punched once more and he blacked out. Now the cult had him where they wanted him. They could do what they pleased.
And if that meant torture... Well, then so be it.
Two fucking months. Bruce was losing his mind as he was looking for his boyfriend. He was horrified when he learnt of (Y/N)'s past, who wouldn't be terrified? Learning and growing up in a cult?
Bruce remembers the first time he entered the apartment and he will always wonder about a lot of things. More so that (Y/N) is somewhat normal.
Bruce was shocked that (Y/N) turned out normal. The trauma he must have went through... He was even more shocked when they found out the secret library in his apartment... Bruce had to call John Constantine to see what the hell was happening here.
John knew exactly what this was. (Y/N) was a hunter who hunted demons and banished them back to hell. Bruce was officially in the dark now. His beloved, his significant other was a hunter? Who went after demons?
Bruce didn't know how the hell he was going to explain this to his kids. How can you explain something like this? Bruce analyzed every part of the apartment, trying to figure out what happened.
He saw that (Y/N) had a knife, but was threw around the room. Then he was put through his glass coffee table. Bruce sighed quietly as John looked through the books.
" This is an amazing collection. " John commented as he looked through the books and the weapons.
" Is that really important right now? " Bruce snapped at the man and John just shrugged his shoulders.
" I guess not, but I know people who would kill for this collection. Bruce, he has knowledge of the single handedly one of the most ancient languages in the world. I can only count people on one hand that know this language. " John explained.
Bruce sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
" I think I know why they kidnapped your partner. " John said as he picked up a book. Bruce raised his brow in question.
" The cult that took him wanted some translations it seems. " John said as he opened and old, leather bound book, more interested in the book at the moment.
" That's not good. I'm assuming he will resist... They are going to torture him. " Bruce said solemnly, eyes darting around the apartment.
" We will put the bookshelf the way it was. Maybe they were after the books and weapons. " Bruce said and John sighed as he put the book where he found it and then did what Bruce asked from him.
From that day, two months passed. Bruce and everyone else worked tirelessly to find their favorite person. Bruce his boyfriend, soon to be a fiancé, the boys their second dad, one that is more emotionally open and Alfred needed one person who is going to be somewhat normal.
Bruce nearly jumped out of his skin when he got a location. They boys and him piled into the batmobile and drove as fast as the car allowed it.
To say that they had to fight their way in was an understatement. Alfred was anxiously waiting in the cave.
Bruce nearly died when he saw (Y/N). Bloodied, bruised... Bruce didn't want to know the specifics. He picked his beloved up and moved to the car and he made sure to call the SWAT team from GCPD, alongside a few more organizations.
The cult deserves it, okay? Was he over reacting? Maybe.
But that didn't matter now. What mattered is the fact that (Y/N) is taken care of and is alive and well.
To say he drove like a madman... Would be the biggest understatement of the century. Once they came, they rushed their favorite person to Alfred.
Time was of the essence.
Bruce waited for his boys to finish talking to their second dad. (Y/N) had awoken and although still weak, he still talked to his sons. After 20 minutes, Bruce ushered them out, making them all protest a bit, but in the end they knew that they need to go.
Jason hugged his dad, very carefully and left. Dick kissed his dad's cheek and Tim squeezed his hand. Damian hugged his second dad before leaving and the two partners are soon left alone.
" I'm sorry for not telling you the truth... But it was too difficult. " (Y/N) said and Bruce kissed his cheek softly.
" Don't apologize. I understand that. "
" I'm assuming you found my base? " (Y/N) asked and Bruce nodded.
" John said you have a collection people would kill for... This is such shit timing, but would you like to move in? " Bruce said and (Y/N) snorted, but stopped because of his ribs.
" Yes, I would love nothing more. "
Bruce kissed (Y/N)'s cheek again. " Good. I'll leave you to rest. "
" Can you stay with me? "
Bruce smiled and nodded, changing into his PJs before gently laying down next to (Y/N), wrapping him into blankets and the two quickly feel asleep.
The two were finally reunited.

Hi, can I say, I love your bat fam fic (even if it is only two chapters lol.) I've been wondering, what if, after Y/N (or the reader in this case) got bit by the spider, they left Gotham altogether❓ Like, once they realized that they have spider-powers, they just go "F*ck it, bye bitches!" and left to become their own crimefighter❓ Do Bruce and the others eventually find out about their abilities (I'm guessing via news, of course, or like overhearing gossip among the other heroes about there being a "spidey" hero of all sudden.) Would they then realize it's the reader and try to bring them back❓
Oh that's a good question! Well in this story the batfam (except Alfred) know who is behind the mask and they would try to recruit them at first.
Since they think Spider as a normal person with powers, not knowing who is behind the mask, especially since they don't even know the right name of Spider.
(plus there would be other heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman who start to get curious about the spider vigilante who keeps leaving crooks and other villains tied up on poles around the city)
But Spider wouldn't accept it, since they hate the batfam and don't want to be around them just to be ignored again like before.
And if they manage to find out like, Spider getting hurt and losing a lot of blood and the batfam manages to help them in time then they will try anything to keep Spider with them.
Obviuously they would also need Alfred to remind them who Spider actually is after seeing who is behind the mask, making them see that the vigilante who kept protecting innocent people and getting hurt almost everyday (seen by videos provided by Oracle) is the neglected sibling/child of the Wayne family.
And this would lead to them being very delusional and trying to mend their ways and get Spider to trust them again while Spider keeps hating them and trying to escape. Which would resort to the batfam to use extreme methods to stop them.
Like drugging them so their abilities are weaker and can't escape and rely on the batfam.
Practically the batfam will get more delusional as time passes and Spider will just have to be the victim and try not to fall in their sick idea of family.

For the Love of Fic: December 9
I'm doing my best to get through my massive reading list by the end of the year, so buckle up, fam, you're about to get served a buffet of fic. There's so many tasty morsels here, even Mama Flores has to appreciate this feast.
Tumblr media
🪐 = Year of Themed Creation Fics!
.
FRANKIE MORALES
Sheer Desire by @the-blind-assassin-12 Okay so imagine you're Frankie's +1 to a Millerboy wedding. And there's dancing and yearning and flirting involved. And the knowledge that after the reception, you're going to have him all to yourself. Now add in black thigh-high nylons. And the desire to see them in his hands. And his desire to have those lacy tops pressed against his ears.... IT'S HOT LIKE FIRE. DID YOU THINK IT WOULD NOT BE. GO GET IT.
2023 Summer Kiss Prompt #2: Frankie Morales - Kiss in the Hammock by @something-tofightfor I mean, who doesn't want to be cuddled up in a hammock with Frankie? Who doesn't want those soft curls and soft lips and warm arms all pressed up against you?
2023 Summer Kiss Prompt #12: Frankie Morales - Kiss in the Dark / Break Up Kiss by @something-tofightfor A little angst and a lot of love are on display here. Frankie's here to show his responsible and protective side, and while there's plenty of hurt, he does it oh so softly and I'm just glad we are left with hope.
2023 Summer Kiss Prompt #14: Frankie Morales - “I miss you” Kiss / Angry Kiss by @something-tofightfor So remember that hope I just mentioned up there? Same pairing here, and the hope pays off. It's not without some real talk, but perhaps that's what makes the love even more deliciously sincere.
The day Frankie both loves and loathes the kitchen counter by @undercoverpena This is such a wonderful domestic Frankie POV piece. The way he wants to be better for reader, to provide more, to keep promises...the way he adores everything about her, including how she loves to bundle up in his clothes... Getting a peek inside a man who is sweet and loving and seeing the motivations there is such a treat. I really got swept up in this one.
.
MARCUS PIKE
The Thing About Second Chances by @artemiseamoon 🪐 This is exquisite. The pain of walking away really hurt. But then, when they met again it is so masterfully done...there are all these little impulses of his, wanting to do everything for her that could easily be overbearing except that he's just so damn loveable and it's hard to watch two people who clearly live each other be denied. I'm not sure he can really change all that much, but I am really pulling for them. Sometimes a little time apart can really drive home how much you can miss someone. Beautiful.
The Moon in May - Full Moon by @hopeamarsu Alpha Marcus. and. sitting on lap. purring and. teasing and soft and spreading you open but requiring go slow. is a tasty treat. brain mush. purring chest at my back. yes please.
.
JOEL MILLER
Something Wild and Unruly by @ezrasbirdie Okay, remember when I said that there was a fic that was so beautiful it made me want to quit writing? This is it, and I mean that as a high compliment. Like, I finished it and just put my head in my hands and stared out the window with a big smile on my face. It's outlaw!Joel and old west sex worker!reader with a heart of gold and a good attitude about what she does. It's got so so so much feels and yearning and softness and bathing and the ending is beautiful and full of hope...this fic is up all of my alleys and making all of my jams and is my entire life mood. It is my new official Fave Birdie Fic™️ and I need to sing that to the world.
Small Joys: Wheelbug by @keldabe-kriff 🪐 The whole point of Lyr's Small Joys series is just that--joys. So it seems antithetical for Ellie to have found a bug that's big and bitey and for Joel to freak out about and try to bat it away. But the joy part of it comes from reader's reaction--to the wonder at finding a wheelbug in nature where it wasn't expected--and Ellie's, who of course will always find wonder in something new. Simple and beautifully done.
Small Joys: Leaf Pile by @keldabe-kriff 🪐 Yes, the joy here is jumping in a leaf pile, but the joy I got from it was being able to hear Joel and Ellie perfectly in this. I also love the process Ellie gets to have in collecting the leaves and talking to a neighbor. It's really delightful.
The Sun Will Shine Again by @foli-vora I can't imagine dealing with crippling depression during the years after the outbreak, how hard and crippling it would be. And yet, I think I'd be able to manage if Joel was on my side, telling me he'd carry me as long as he could just to make sure I made it through. This is just such a beautiful piece. I want to curl up in it like a blanket.
Tangled Triumphs by @planet-marz1 I think my blood sugar levels hit an all-time high with this one and I ascended into the heavens. Joel learns to do Sarah's hair and it's so sweet and precious and I love them. Please read this. I need other people to share my squeals.
.
JACK DANIELS
Cast Iron Sunshine part 1: Think I'll Call You Sunshine and part 2: Daisy by @blueeyesatnight Color me intrigued. We got ourselves a cocky cowboy in the wild west and a female doctor reader with some determination, sass, and willingness to sport a revolver, and I want more of that push and pull I'm sure is coming. The first meeting is just enough tingle to rub my hands together with glee. HE'S SUCH A SHIT. But then comes Daisy and she's here to lay some hearts open...
What Happens in Vegas.., ...Never Really Ends in Vegas, and Forever by @wildemaven A beautiful drabble trio that encompasses the realization that you've accidentally-in-Vegas married Jack, trying to quit him, and being unable to do so. Do yourself a favor, don't think about it too hard, and give into your cowboy.
Remember Me by @toomanystoriessolittletime This twisted my little heart and melted me in so many ways. When Jack is brought back and can't remember his girlfriend? Can I just cry a river? No worries though, the ending's a happy, hopeful one.

DIETER BRAVO
Thought That I Was Dreaming by @haylzcyon Salty, spicy, and sweet all at once...this may just be my dream Dieter smut. I very much love a "did he really say???" but then the reason for her not asking was perfect. How does Haylz make the very filthiest filth the sweetest sweet?
Sleazy Santa by @morallyinept This what happens when Dieter's not an actor, just a tremendous sleezebag working as a mall Santa (he's respectful to the kids) and you can't stop wanting that scummy D and go bang dirty in the Grotto. There's candy cane action. It's real nasty. And written like a fkn gourmet meal. The sweatier Jett writes this slimeball, the more I want. I don't know how. It's like Christmas magic. Delicious.
Crawling Back to You by @prolix-yuy This fic is a feast and all of my favorite dishes are on the table. Monsterfkn. Demons. Blasphemy. Sexy contracts. Dieter being a menace. And softness????? This is smut and it is hot hot hot, but there's enough here that's sweetness and fondness that it's going straight to my forever faves list. HE RUINS HER SO NICELY. UGH!
Rendezvous in Reno by @theywhowriteandknowthings A Dieter with small-dick insecurities? Please and thank you, this is super cute. I'd love to get called out for describing his junk wrong in my fics and get a personal correction.
It's Never Over by @pennyserenade We don't get enough exes-to-friends fic around here, and this one is really nice. As much as I hope for them to connect again, I respect their love for each other and their need to just let themselves be special to each other. There were moments here that were bittersweet, but I really loved that about it.
.
DIN DJARIN
Birfday--Din by @writeforfandoms Listen. Is it so wrong that I want to cook a nice breakyfast to show Din how much he's loved? Is that too much to ask? Thanks, Jen, for something soft and sweet.
Then We'll Find Out Together by @missredherring A lovely little drabble about settling down in a new home with Din, getting used to the slowness and softness and niceness of everything. And when reader can't sleep, the one thing that's familiar--Din himself--is what calms her down. A lovely little drabble that I would like to live in.
Bounty and Hunter by @never--doubt 🪐 A soulmate fic wherein soulmates can't hurt each other. How interesting then that one of you is being hunted...and makes quite a game out of it?
Significant by @softlyspector He's been calling you riduur for months and you still don't know what it means. Once you find out, that's when the fireworks start. I don't know that I've read dialogue for Din and his sweetheart that affected me the way the last two lines of this fic did...... *swoons*
.
PERO TOVAR
Watercolor by @iamskyereads I mean, give a sellsword a bath and you may be in for trouble. But not this man. This man just needs a little care, and while he may not say much, he make good on all kindnesses. I would do anything to give this man a bath and have him speak kindly to me.
Date or Inseminate by @sirowsky Now listen. You're gonna have to read the warnings on this, because I for one get really squicked by dub-con mixed with medical malpractice. I didn't read the warnings and it came out of nowhere....but I'm telling you my eyebrows shot up and then I just giggled through the whole thing like WHAT IS HAPPENING. Sometimes fic is just there to be fun and slap you silly. IRL? No please. But this? Go in with the right mood and it's just strangely and shockingly delightful smut.

JAVI GUTIERREZ
Formula 101: December to Remember Part 2: Take What Comes by @littlemisspascal There's a lot to love about Rae's F1 media fic. Even outside of the easter eggs in the worldbuilding and the lovely way Javi and Oddball's relationship develops, there are the delightful media interludes--emails, texts, instagram posts complete with character comments--that use pictures and dialogue to move the plot along in a unique way. I love how a short text chain not only sets up a later story locale, but illustrates a history and relationship between two characters so fluidly. Every chapter is a delight to see how the media enhances the storyline...a storyline that is moving in a very interesting direction...

SPECIAL GUEST CORNER
BO KATAN KRYZE
Hiding Away from the Galaxy by @ghostofskywalker 🪐 I love a good reunion story. Here, you're an ex-Jedi who has a past with Bo and come to find her when all the wars are done. I'd agree that it's worth the wait when she takes you in her arms....
.
MARC SPECTOR
My Knight in White by @flightlessangelwings 🪐 Jey's been doing a year of protectiveness, and you know I don't mind that AT ALL. I would love nothing more than to have Marc follow me home and protect me. And then, yeah, if he let me follow him home...and into his bedroom....I wouldn't complain..... *swoon*

I think the Batman's sidekicks equal child soldiers comes from them being called soldiers. Bat books seem to embrace the 'war on crime' narrative more as they are more gritty. On top of this Batman is emotionally incompetent meaning he treats his kids more like soldiers than children sometimes.
It's also quantity of sidekicks. Like, Barry had Wally. He didn't have any other kid sidekicks at the same time. Batman has a solid army and it often feels like one. They often feel more militarized than other 'fams'. Also, he is too controlling and doesn't treat this solid army of children well. So obviously when a character mistreats everyone around them, people are more likely to see the flaws. A kid cheerfully fighting aside their adult mentor isn't going to get called a child soldier but a kid written with a more gritty undertone is (especially because of the war on crime stuff).
He also had the whole 'good soldier' memorial which says he kinda viewed Jason, a dead 15 year old he adopted, as a soldier. Even though they were portrayed as a father son relationship so this immediately damages the perception of his relationships with his other children.
Also, the Under the Red Hood Movie is an entry level media for Bat fandom. It starred Mr Ackles of Supernatural fame. There is a huge child soldier narrative in the treatment of Sam and Dean by their father so Supernatural fans are more likely to see these themes. So Ackles fans watching the movie and then getting into the Batfam stuff will obviously latch onto this.
Also, this is not the only incident in superhero fandom where certain characters are singled out as child soldiers for other characters. This narrative is also present in some parts of the X-Men fandom, especially regarding the relationship of Professor X and Cyclops. As it is another incident of an adult character 'rescuing' a child in need and (I can't think of a better word) indoctrinating them to their cause.
I think another thing is the fact the Bats do not have powers. So narrative of 'with great power, comes great responsibility' only actually applies to Batman himself with his obscene wealth. So the classic narrative of you have power so you have to help people with them doesn't apply here. Most of the kids he recruits could have relatively normal lives. Jason, whose fans propagate this take heavily, did not ask to be Robin. Batman gave it to him. I also feel that Starlin was trying to have an arc about why having a child sidekick was bad in the Jason's Robin run so Jason's fans are more likely to be critical of the child sidekick thing. It basically goes 'maybe I should not have had this child fight crime' (while Jason is still alive) to 'it's Jason's own fault he got himself killed' which looks really bad.
So it just feels like a lot of factors give more and more people these kind of takes in a way that doesn't apply to other characters. Wonder Woman mostly fights alongside adults. The Flash is also adult heavy (Barry, Jay, Max as in adults that started as adults). Shazamily is all near is age (argument for Wizard perhaps). Lanterns, adults. Arrow family are usually a bit older than the bats and get less attention. Ect.
For me the thing is that... this is fiction. Not a one-to-one direct reflection of reality. In real life, we would frown upon vigilantism as a concept, but enjoying characters like Batman and Superman requires some suspension of disbelief. The same idea should be applied to the idea of sidekicks in general, something that would be very wrong in reality, but is acceptable within the fictional world of DC. Admittedly Batman is usually more grounded than the other books, but it still is within the fictional world of DC, where having child sidekicks in okay. Where letting children fight crime is not inherently wrong, and what defines whether it's good or bad is the intent of the person training/raising them (Bruce or Barry or Oliver as opposed to David Cain or Slade Wilson). We need to view it through that lens, otherwise it's kinda just bad faith criticism.
Another thing to consider is that Batman is an emotionally withdrawn character. It's pretty clear that he did not consider Jason a simple soldier for the cause, or his death wouldn't have ruined him the way it did. And honestly, for every Jason is a soldier case in the Batcave (something he got yelled at for btw), there is a Bruce giving Damian a heartfelt speech about how his kids aren't soldiers. For every moment Bruce treats his kids like soldiers, there is a moment where he openly admits to how much he loves them. I suppose after a point of time it's all up to interpretations, especially since the latter are far and few between, but canon has been pretty clear that Bruce loves his children above all else, and that he doesn't see them as soldiers. That's actually been a plot point a few times, so I think it shouldn't be a question that he sees them as sons and daughter and not soldiers. After all, the whole reason he does what he does for them is so that they don't turn out like him. Him coming off as seeing them like soldiers is not because it's the truth of what he thinks, it's because he can't express himself.
I did say there are plenty of other reasons to criticize Bruce as a character, one of them being the fact that he behaves abusively to his kids. But that's not a symptom of them being child soldiers. My post mostly stemmed from me seeing a lot of criticism of Batman "throwing kids into tights and a cape instead of getting them therapy," and it's like, nooooo. He very explicitly did not do that. They chose the life. Most of them would have done it whether or not Bruce was there. The kids being crimefighters isn't the problem.
If the cheerful thing is what differentiates them from others, the Robins have had that with Batman. Dick and Bruce actually had great fun as Batman and Robin, for instance, before things went sour. Jason may have been given Robin by Bruce, but he also loved being Robin and said it gave him magic. The inherent idea of kids fighting crime is not the issue in a fictional world. Robin in itself is something of a child empowerment kind of thing, a genre staple, at least in the beginning. We don't go around calling every child protagonist a child soldier, do we? It would be an inherently unethical thing in real life, but this is fiction. We have to have some amount of suspension of disbelief when it comes to that, just like we do for the idea of vigilantism itself. Otherwise, we wouldn't have a story.
My take on it is this: there are no child soldiers in DC (when it comes to the sidekicks). Because it's fiction. Within the conventions of the genre, it's well and good for Bruce or anyone to let kids fight crime. Bruce being an abuser is a different conversation entirely, one that should not be derailed with accusations of him raising child soldiers. Those are not a thing in DC, and we would all be happier if we accepted that. My post was specifically about that, that Bruce letting kids fight crime is not inherently a bad thing within the context on the world they operate in. I made the OG post because I saw a lot of criticism towards Bruce for the very act of letting kids fight crime, not because of how he treats them but because he apparently indoctrinated and manipulated them into his war on crime, just criticism for the very act of him letting them do so.
I've also seen talk about how awful it is for Bruce to continue to let kids be Robins after one died, and I just have to say, do you not want Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain and Damian Wayne and Duke Thomas and every other kid hero in the Batfam to exist? Because if Batman were to do the right thing, they shouldn't exist. But, again, this is fiction. It's a story about superheroes. As per the rules of the story, Batman needs a Robin. Someone was going to be created to fill the void, and it was Tim Drake.
And if we go down that route, what does this say about Conner Kent and Bart Allen and Cassie Sandsmark and the other heroes like them? Because if Bruce is in the wrong for letting kids fight after Jason died, so are the other heroes who allow kids to keep fighting after one sidekick died on the job. Was Clark Kent raising a child soldier when he allowed Jon to fight crime? And it's also funny to me cause again, Tim Drake practically forced Bruce to take him on as Robin, with the explicit blessing of former Robin Dick Grayson, and Alfred Pennyworth. Everyone else was already in the life, and Bruce just helped them out. They would have done it regardless of him. So, to frame it in a manner as though he forced them into it, or he didn't care that Jason died and that it could happen to them too is wrong.
Perhaps it's because Batman is the most popular DC hero, perhaps it's because he's had the most sidekicks, perhaps it's because one of them died, but it's still not a correct argument. Again, there are very legitimate criticisms to be made of Bruce, ones I can agree with wholeheartedly, but this is not one of them. He is toxic and controlling and abusive to his kids, but they are not child soldiers. It is that very specific thing that I am objecting to. And that's what I think a lot of replies to my post misunderstand, because they're conflating Bruce being abusive with Bruce raising child soldiers, and I while I agree with their general point, I disagree with the framing and the inferences made from it. And then there are the people who inspired me to make the post, who are just wrong.
So, I do agree with a lot of the criticisms of Bruce and a lot of your points! I can see where the idea comes from considering how Bruce treats his kids, but I don't think the correct takeaway is that they are child soldiers specifically. Victims of abuse from Bruce? Sure. Not child soldiers. I hope this makes sense.
Thank you for your ask!
Just... gonna leave this here...

OC Kiss Week: Day 1
San Diego, California. Late year 2000.
Valerie is caught up in thoughts of what could have happened, if things had turned out differently. But of course, they didn't. Dark belongs to @prettycatgirlwinter, thank you for letting me borrow your girl!
Valerie’s thoughts wandered as she and Rolf packed the last of her boxes into his truck. The past few months had been wild, culminating in something she hadn’t expected, a Camarilla takeover. Plenty of the licks in the city had fought against this move, and the fam had been a part of it, but there seemed to be no changing the now Prince’s mind. A heavy sigh escaped her mouth as she glanced from the truck back to the haven, their home. It was the only home she knew, the only place she felt at home, but that Camarilla traitor didn’t care a bit. She knew plenty of licks already left, for the most part her entire compact had dissolved. Only a few of them remained, and even less would after tonight.
Standing next to the porch, hidden by the shadows was one of her last friends in the city, Dark. It was a wonder she had stuck around this long, considering her hatred of the Camarilla, but this was her home too by this point. No doubt once the fam finally left she would too, and then who knew when- or even if- Valerie would see her again. “Rolf, do we have time before we go?” The baby bat of the family glanced up at her bear of a sire, noticing the compassion in his gaze as he realized exactly what Valerie was thinking.
“It’s a long drive, but we can spare a few minutes. Don’t leave with any regrets, kiddo.” Rolf pat Valerie on the back and ruffled her beanie before walking back inside to help with the final boxes. Regrets… She had plenty of them in these past few months, especially the last few weeks. She already lost contact with most of the few friends she had in the city, having left before Valerie could even say goodbye. She wouldn’t let this chance go to waste.
Icy blue eyes followed Valerie’s movements as she stepped away from the truck and leaned in next to the pale, sunken girl. Dark looked so tiny in Valerie’s hoodie, a gift from right after Dark moved in with the fam, a thank you for keeping her secret. Matted black hair peeked out from under the hood, framing the emaciated, bruised face of the Nosferatu within. Valerie knew Dark would be alright after they left, she wasn’t worried about that. The two had each other’s backs time and time again, she could trust the Nosferatu to look after herself. “Do ya know where you’re going?”
Dark nods, not offering any information to the Gangrel. It didn’t surprise or upset Valerie in the least, despite how close the two had been the past few months, Nosferatu didn’t give up their secrets easily. Especially not a paranoid sort like Dark was. “Don’t worry your cute little bat ears about old Dark. I was fine before you folks came along and I’ll be fine long after.” 
Valerie grins, a fang filled grin the two had long grown accustomed to. Though it had bothered her at the beginning, Valerie knew just the Brujah to help her hide them. “I know you will. It was rough for a while, but I think I’ll be okay too.” Bright orange hair bounces on Frankie’s head as she and Rolf carry out the last of her belongings, followed up by Johanna. The young Gangrel feels the gaze of one of her sires on her, and is aware her time is almost up. There was too much to say, too little time. Apologies, thank yous, words she meant to say weeks ago, they would all have to wait until the next time they saw each other. Slipping her hand out of her pocket, Valerie rubbed her gloved thumb over the pocketknife in her palm. Something to remember her by, to remember her time in San Diego by. Leaning over and dropping the knife into Dark’s hoodie pocket, Valerie left a kiss on Dark’s cheek before starting to head towards the truck where the fam waited for her.
As Valerie started to walk away, she felt a sharp tug on the sleeve of her coat. Turning to face Dark and expecting a slap on the face, she was met with a pair of lips on her own, cold and chapped. It only lasted a moment and as soon as it ended the Nosferatu pushed her away by her shoulders. “That’s how you give a proper goodbye kiss, bats for brains. Now go, you don’t wanna get caught by the sun before you get where you’re going.”
That was all the encouragement she needed and with a final wave and nod from Valerie, she ran to hop in the truck, ignoring the joking jabs from Frankie as she stared out the window and watched the only city that ever welcomed her fade from view.

Congrats on the milestone❤️❤️!!! It's what u deserve bc u are lovely and wonderful 😤
Now I heard you were looking for headcanons and thoughts and i would like to deliver one for our dearest grumpy dungeon bat bc of course i do 🫠🫠
One of my favorite things to think about and rotate in my brain like a rotisserie chicken is Sev and the relationship he has with his S/O parents! Hear me out now😂
I love the thought of his S/O being close to their family and them just being very family oriented and when they first bring him around to the fams, he's so thrown off by how friendly everyone is. Like they want to get to know him as much as possible to a point Sev is like please get me out of here??? This is intrusive??
And S/O has to be like everyone please chill ur making him more anxious🫠🫠. Anyways I like thinking about how the relationships grow and out of the blue S/O's parents just causally call Sev their son. Like they come for a visit again and they are like "There is our favorite son!!!" 😩😩😭 Like they are his parents now even if he didnt ask for it and they are gonna treat him like their kid. UGHGH i just want him to have some healthy parental role models!!!
(Also is this how I have my OCs parents act with him it sure the heck is and i have no shame he deserves happiness 🥴)
Thank u for letting me roll up in ur asks and sending u a whole essay 😂😂 and congrats again🥳🥳
Thank you so much darling 🤍 I asked for essays and I got an essay so no worries 😅
Severus having a healthy relationship with his in-laws is what the found family trope should mean in my opinion. The boy with absent parents found ones in the family of his s/o.
Now he's their son too and imagine all the fussing around Sev would do next to his now mother when his child gets born because he wants to be there for every possible advice in the planet. Maybe he's helping her in her garden, he has the baby near his chest in those backpack like things, baby sleeping soundly, while he and his mother-in-law plug some weeds and she is telling him all there is to know about newborns.
His father-in-law plays boardgames with him, they drink their coffee together and he insists on bringing Severus to meet his friends or go to his favorite sports.
And when they all come together imagine the movie nights, the chaos, the comments, the crying. What if Severus cries watching Titanic?
There's a lot more to think about and what you and I thought of is just the tip of the iceberg 😩

Well, Nettie is said to be a problematic child, Only Jason and Tim checked her class background when they saw it was almost perfect before Lila but then  Lila Rossi in background check  came it raised red flags cause even a billionaire doesn't travel this much , way too much flaws and loop holes, hell she has criminal records for murder , suicide,  harassment, money laundering and sexual assault etc . 
Other bats treated her terrible than anything even left her to sleep on empty stomach and left her at Gotham Academy and Damian was pissed cause perfect grades and way to good reputation and Jon vouched her for injuries are indeed real but jealousy got best of him, he injured her more and shamed her for no reason who saw this behavior stopped giving him a glance where she was a great help and her organization plans helped school and student council.
 Well, Bat family dismissed his behavior but that didn't got under radar of bat girls , Jason, Tim, they helped her while others just thought that's fair. Then Jon begged his parents to go to Wayne Manor if not Damian will kill an innocent person and would be out of it unchecked. 
Diana and Arthur take Marinette a side and bow to her in recognizing the Miraculous. There were already Constantine, Zatana, Diana and Arthur. As soon as he scanned her  " You call yourself World's greatest detective my foot who can't tell the difference between makeup and bruise ? You're son of a bastard is also one of the reasons as well as you for her physical, mental and emotional scars, no wonder when Diana met Talia she said she is utterly disappointed in Damian. Shame on you Wayne .Are you stupid those bruise and scars are real? '' Clark yelled in his coldest voice and threw them a darkest glare
" That bitch got to your adopted parents , right pls . Do something you're practically the owner of black knights and gates  , official technopath of Europe, MDC, a genius recognised in magic and mechanics, singer named as NYX Night, prodigy of literature, mdc and businesswoman comes 1st place in the world. 
 I am your uncle . I can help hell, even some of your other honorary uncle or aunts like Oliver Queen, Barry Allen, Zatana , Diana, Arthur and Me etc  can help you. Those kids are sick as hell as you call mobsters but more worse than monsters and demons whatever shit is that? 
From what I see they are probably the worst people . You're skinnier than usual . And who the hell pushed you down the stairs and around so much. Pack your things you're coming with me .
 Most importantly you believe Joker should stay dead. Even Deadpool, Talia, Taskmaster and Slade are your models even though they wear masks and they would gladly kill them. It was a great relief that your parents never gave you much attention and at least you're away from that creep but still take Cat miraculous from him. Don't know what the guardian saw in that rat.  That Ass-greste boy is the worst and last night you told me  who the hawkmoth is.
 Well, I wonder How much big news it would be to know that a billionaire's son killed a CEO and owner of 1200 companies who has 27 digits in 8 bank accounts  just for jealousy and seriously your daughter who was unknown to his family who outright gave her up?
 Well, we have come to a decision to remove bat fam from JL only Red Robin, Red hood and batgirls are allowed. Can't you see there's less crime since she came here. A true creation soul can remove bad luck and destruction. Anyway we got better detectives and my personal favourite you think why don't we tell you to investigate some cases for us? She is'' said Constantine.
 Just then Akuma alarm was set off.`` Come on, I had only 12 hrs , Gabribitch, that's a lot and mass akumatation looks like I have put more fuel on fire. " "Kalki transform me" " wait, we want to help" other batfam was outright told no . Well Barbara and Cass with Jason not Damian cause he tried to kill her when she tried to help him were healed with magic of Mari as soon as she saw them "okay fine. Deactivate me. Cass- dragon, Steph- Fox, Barbara- Bee , John you need black cat sorry, " " that's okay" " Tim- Horse, Jason- Snake , Diana- Tiger and Arthur- Turtle and Rabbit after using it give it back as a guardian after this fight completing the box , I will officially retire and come to help only in need of pure magic  problems "  
 Clark and Lois  hacked the portal and caught bullshit of Alya" it's totally happening ' Lady noir' after all these years, Lois checked her blog in few minutes full of bullshit man she uploaded Lila Rossi too and ' how to bully a bully .' her credit was gone to drain only other classes saw bullshit and people were crap long before. First bee paralysed as he said M'lady and took away the ring gave it to John . And fought Sandboy as soon as they won. A agony shot through Mari as She casted Miraculous cure as the formation was going off in 4 minutes her injuries were more visible due to the assault of her classmates as she was caught by Liars squad except Alya. 
As soon as Alya saw Lois and Clark and other heroes ready to go home before they rescued her and tikki transformed her back she ran towards them asked for interview and demanded when Rena Rouge is coming back . Darkness cataclysms her phone. She became Lady Wifi. As she was defeated , they made their way back home. Wonder Woman picked Mari up in her arms and Tim made a portal for Medway at Watchtower and helped her heal from her injuries applied by Batfam and her old classmates .
 With the selection of miraculous holders, the hawkmoth was defeated by Storm . It was decided she will use miracles only in an emergency as she can use magic outside. Lila was taken down in a gala at La Garde Hotel were Chloe lives as CO-CEO of black knights and gates was revealed with proof of abuse of classmates and neglect of her problems , the school was sued a lot as Nettie was CEO of no . 1  company in the world. A adoption war broke out between Arthur, Jagged Stone, Batfam, Diana , Bourgeois, Constantine, Zatara, Queen , both Wilsons, Al-Ghul , Allen , Tsurgami ,Kents, Lucifer, Nightingale and Gardener, Jordan was actually smarter than others as he knew who did most of the funding and destroyed Injustice League and Lex Luthor, made a barrier greater than JL scientist can make for earth.
 Well, the possibility for so called greatest detective to be even called detective and to adopt her was out of options and who never supported them saw toxicity of batfam and left to Mansion even bigger than Wayne's and Tim outright switched his job of CEO from Wayne to Black knights and gates settled for co- CEO with Chloe Mari and Jason. Why, Jason do have a degree for it , and broke the contract of merging Drake and Wayne enterprises to merge with Black knights and gates.
 It made Bruce do all the work for Wayne's enterprises which he was serving his hours of torture that he gave to Tim force fully but black knights and gates have a system and most important, most honest employees do most of the work and get a bonus every week. They never slacked off or anything. Jason, Tim and Batgirls left all of their old personas for miraculous and magic.
 But after defeating the hawkmoth putting bitch into Jail with Lila as she was 19 while Mari was 15 and others were 18. Seriously she was older than Damian by 4 yrs  and didn't have strength to push him and that was done by other 12 graders just because she's young doesn't mean she's bullied by her classmates and it saved her alot . 
I mean Tim and Jason were in the same class and saw what Damian does to her in school for no reason. Outright laughed , this caused a shift in school and no one can take his bullshit anymore and saved her by putting themselves and taking her out of there  by either or Jason, Tim and Steph. He was treated like an enemy and even classic bully girls don't do this much one time a knife was launched at her. This proved the doubts of him being a demon being true and then tried to behave nice but outside and home it's another story, he tried to use a knife just because she learned self defense saved her by skin from time to time in 3 months and someone dying in Wayne Manor that's way too important for the Universe.
 It was a call to Constantine that proved everything and he called every person who can defend him against Bruce Wayne but it was wrong decision by which everyone came for adoption war and her parents tried to take her back with force as it  got leaked for being a person with 27 digits in 8 accounts those were highly secure even more than JL computers with her own company cause every hour codes get changed it takes one month to crack one so it was almost impossible that made them as incompetent parents and greedy .
 The behavior of Waynes was so much sore only Dick was put aside cause he was highly unaware and had a line between them and batfam almost killed every criminal. This caused Joker to change his ways to killing to praising miraculous gang only batgirls and Tim and Jason. It fueled their anger. But a problem arises as it was found Jason and Tim both are Black Cat so Plagg made another ring with help of tikki to create his twin. They're also involved in the magic community instead so they had less pressure in time of need and others were found but they still kept horses and snakes.
 Due to some reasons, she became guardian of every lantern too. She was self emancipated due to being but they can hoard her as they're still her aunts and uncles. During this, everyone in JL got modeling as a job at least once it gave them even a bigger cover for identification. They stopped having contact with Wayne in general and the police department actually liked the miraculous team more than batfam. After a week of insults from people in Gotham was a reason to stop Batman altogether. Due to this Damian Wayne was more violent and sent to Judicial custody of a strict man for no violence maybe there was a good  reason for the demon's mother, sisters and brothers to leave him and his dad alone.
 Meanwhile Jason 23, Tim and Marinette 20 started dating and got married at the age of  Jason 25 , Tim and Mari 22. Problems came and were gone. The crime in Gotham got so low that vigilants were not needed. The city of doom became the city of gloom . Well, Steph and Cass were married , Barbara and dick Kori all got married  due to some reasons a billionaire became a millionaire. Had to sell his property and live in a flat. Who knew treating the youngest CEO could cause a load of problems as well as his daughter.

Day 4: “You’re so sappy.” + fluff
You can find the whole fic using this tag, or you can check it out on AO3. :)
***
“He’s trying to piss me off,” Kinn growls.
“I’m sure he isn’t, honey,” Porsche chuckles, taking a sip from his glass of champagne.
“He is! Look at him. Just look!”
“I am looking.”
“He’s smiling!”
“That’s what people do when they attend charity events. Everyone’s smiling. Well, except for you. Look at Pete. He’s basically beaming.”
“Pete’s always beaming when he’s with Vegas, though.”
“Yeah, I know. Never understood why, but… I’m glad he’s happy.”
Kinn sighs, lifting his own glass.
“Shut up, Porsche, or I’m gonna put something in your drink. Something like sleeping pills.”
“Damn. And I was thinking about something more fun. Something to make me a bit excited...”
“You can’t,” Kinn replies and his tone makes it very clear that he won’t tolerate any objections. “You have a mission tomorrow.”
“Ugh,” Porsche grunts. “Really, Kinn?”
“Really.”
“You could always come with us, you know. To make sure I’m all right.”
Kinn takes Porsche’s free hand in his and shakes his head.
“I’d love to, Porsche, you know that. But papa wouldn’t let me. Don’t forget I’m his heir.”
“And I’m the head of the minor family, what’s your point?” Porsche smirks, cocking his eyebrow. “Wait. I’ve got it. You’re still afraid Vegas might put a bullet through your head and claim it was an accident, right?”
“Well… That, too,” Kinn admits.
“Oh, Kim!” Porsche snorts. “Come on, he’s not so bad! I mean, he is, but he wouldn’t do that. He’s trying to be nice. And I think he likes you, even though he doesn’t want to admit it our loud.”
“It’s Vegas. Vegas doesn’t like anyone, except for Pete, Venice and Macau.”
“He likes me! We’ve talked things through, and he’s actually quite nice!”
Kim narrows his eyes at Porsche, who immediately realizes he’s made a mistake.
“Nice, you say,” Kinn growls, and Porsche realizes just how big the mistake really was.
“I didn’t mean it like that!” he protests. “I’m saying that if you actually made some effort and talked to him, you might not need to worry about him shooting you. At least most of the time.”
“Most of the time?”
“Let’s be honest, Kinn, there are times when I want to shoot you.”
“I’m feeling very loved now,” Kinn chuckles.
“Oh, come on. You are,” Porsche laughs, leaning his head against Kinn’s shoulder. “Hey. The auction’s about to start. You think you might let Vegas win just once?”
“No way in hell, Porsche.”
“Well. No wonder he wouldn’t hesitate to shoot you, then.”
“Porsche. If Vegas wants to beat me, he’s gonna have to do it himself.”
Porsche bites his lower lip as Kinn slams the bathroom door shut behind them.
“I can’t believe what you just did, Porsche!”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, darling,” Porsche smiles, batting his eyelashes. “What did I do?”
Kinn snarls and pushes Porsche against the counter, right next to the sink.
“You dare pretend you don’t know?” he asks in a tone that would scare just about anyone, but not Porsche. Porsche is used to it. And he knows damn well that when it comes to him, Kinn is all bark and no bite. It’s Porsche who tends to bite.
That’s why he just smiles, lifts his hands and fixes Kinn’s bow tie.
“I really don’t. Care to enlighten me, love?”
“You,” Kinn growls. “You distracted me. With your lips and your hand on my cock, in front of all those people!”
“Why would I do that?” Porsche asks innocently.
“To help Vegas win of course!”
Porsche grins.
“Well, technically, I was helping the minor family. As I, as its head, definitely should be doing, right?”
“You…”
Porsche laughs, wrapping his arms around Kinn.
“Oh, come on, you. Let him have it. Didn’t you see how happy and excited he was? It was almost cute.”
“Please, never call my cousin cute again. It’s downright scary,” Kinn murmurs.
“Oh, Kinn. Kinn, Kinn, Kinn…”
Porsche chuckles and presses a kiss against Kinn’s temple. Then a bit lower, on his cheek. Then a little to the left…
“How does he intend to pay for it, anyway? It’s not like he has all the minor family’s money.”
“Well, no, but…”
Kinn narrows his eyes.
“Porsche?”
“All right. Just listen to me, okay?” Porsche jumps up on the counter and wraps his legs around Kinn’s hips to hold him close and stop him from running away. He feels like he’s going to need it. “Remember when you wanted Vegas to start helping us, but you told him he’s definitely not gonna be on the minor family’s payroll, and he basically told you to go fuck yourself, but then came back a few days ago and said he’d changed his mind?”
Kinn tries to jerk away, but Porsche doesn’t let him, no matter how much he wriggles. Thank god he never skips his leg days.
“Porsche, what did you do?”
“Put him on the payroll, obviously.”
“As?!”
“Consultant,” Porsche grins. “And Pete’s the head of security of the minor family, of course.”
“So we’re paying both of them?!”
“Good thing you never check the accounts of the minor family, eh?”
“Porsche…” Kinn growls.
“Kinn,” Porsche grins, wraps his arms around Kinn’s waist again and leans his head on Kinn’s shoulder. “Come on. I love you.”
“You went behind my back– ”
“Nope. You said I was supposed to deal with the affairs of the minor family myself. So I did.”
“Not when it concerns Vegas, though.”
“Yeah, you should have specified that.”
Kinn sighs and Porsche can feel him shaking his head. Good. He’s giving up. Calming down. And sure thing, within a few seconds, Porsche can feel a pair of hands on his hips.
“All right. You win.”
“I know.”
“Porsche!”
“Kinn…” Porsche purrs. “Have I ever told you how happy I am that you kidnapped me and forced me to work for you? And that we got lost in those woods? That you made me fall in love with you? It changed my life, Kinn, really. I can’t imagine living without you, darling.”
“You’re so sappy, Porsche,” Kinn huffs, his breath hot against Porsche’s skin. “Don’t think I don’t know you’re just trying to distract me from going after Vegas.”
“Is it working?”
“Yes.”
Porsche laughs, sneaking his fingers underneath Kinn’s expensive jacket.
“I mean it, though. I love you. And I’m glad I found you.”
“I love you, too, Porsche. You know how precious you are to me.”
“Mhm…” Porsche hums. “Precious enough to let me borrow your lucky gun for the mission again?”
“Of course,” Kinn replies, then laughs when Porsche’s hands move towards his crotch. “Oh, you want it now?”
“Yes. Can I have it? Please?”
“Oh, Porsche,” Kinn murmurs. “Anytime.”

As the world's most random note about tagging, because I think of this every time I tag a post with an updated tag, I... "update" my tags
Meaning that over time as my moods and blog topics and interests and dialect and mutuals and inspirations all change, I'll go from using one standard tag to a another for that same exact content.
And I don't know if anyone else really does that or if it's a weird me thing?
When I first had a humor tag i called it "snort laugh" to convey, literal or just in tone, "this post surprised me into a half scoff laugh or making a snerk sound". It was inspired by a mutual's "ugly laughter" tag because i didn't want to steal that perfect tag whole cloth. But almost a decade later they're still using that tag and I've cycled through "snort laugh" and "laugh rule" and variants on "lmao" and "humour" and some i can't even remember. Right now I'm intermittently tagging "I loled". None of these have ever really fit well enough to stick around and I still think "snort laugh" every time i try a new one, even if i never liked that tag much either.
Some of my index tags are static and unchanging and some I still use, even if I used to tag every other post with them and now use that tag once a year maybe (social awareness comes to mind). Some I've always had 2 or 3 versions of, either because I like one but keep another for indexing or blacklisters (doggo and dogs) or simply because I can't recall what I use (was it world building or worldbuilding? Bat fam or bat family?) and end up converging as i decide on when and then diverging again when i change my mind... again. Many overlap a lot (positivity, daily dose of positivity, faith in humanity, love, human beings), while all actually being distinct enough i keep them all.
But with over a decade now of this account it seems it'd be a strange little nightmare to plumb, the work of a historian or linguist to go through the changing tides of tags and indexing, and I have to wonder what conclusions or insights they would be able to glean if they did, and what it might say about me.

I watched Harry and Meghan So You Won’t Have To
As a prologue, I find Megan Markle pretentious and her husband Harry a dimwit lights are on but nobody is home.
I mean if Meghan only owned up to the fact that yes she knew Harry, yes he was a handsome prince who appealed to her instead of being a not like the other girls TM, I don’t know him TM, I am such a manic pixie dream girl I don’t really care about the British royal family when in fact she was texting all her friends about their first date - breathe - I would have liked her more. Anyway, this is me laughing at the worlds biggest spoiled brats since Angelica Pickles
Episode 1
-Check the privilege count off the bat, Harry goes on to say that his wife and him sacrificed everything to be in each other’s worlds HA. Since when was living in a 40 million dollar Los Angeles mcmansion a sacrifice? The tone deaf privilege begins and I’m not even 5 mins in. Can Kourtney Kardashian tell this asshole Harry, there are people who are dying?
-Remember you were late? Omg I can literally see his last 2 brain cells as he talks to Meghan
-Meghan texting all her friends about her date with Harry and yet says she never knew him. Like?!
-Oedipus Rex much Harry - first you said your wife was like your mom like omg he is so dim he probably doesn’t know what Oedipus Rex is
-Harry recounting how sad his youth was growing up in palaces, summering in Spain, because he was photographed. Starving children in developing countries you hear that? Let’s all feel sad for the prince who lived on your taxes!
-First accuses William of marrying whoever fits the mold THEN says he wonders if he can find someone who can be a royal?! I can’t even if I had a dollar everytime they went boohoo poor me I’d be rich
-Oedipus Rex 2: Meghan is exactly my mom I can’t…
-Also it just hit me that he’s talking about Princess Diana hating being the subject of media scrutiny and yet proceeds to use every paparazzi footage of her and I am once again floored at how much this dimwit contradicts himself
-It has literally been 20 mins of his complaining about the media hounding him like… this is how privileged his ass is. He can complain about 1 think ad nauseam and I am freaking nauseated at how boring this is
-The press was photographing me nightclubbing POOR ME IT IS SO INTENSE. Grow the fuck up you are a fuck boy who was always in bars. That’s on you?!
-Prince of Lesotho with the subtle jab “massive negative press” LOL
-Also token POC that Harry is friends with to show that unlike his racist family he is friends with those of us with melanin! Fucker
-Prince Harry loves Africa and its people unlike his colonial fam that raped this land like omg
-Meg is so busy she only has a week free AND WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT ITS THE SAME WEEK HARRY GOES TO BOTSWANA LOOK AT THAT! It’s as if it’s fate and not like she had no job and was free to go wherever whenever GASP ITS FATE!
-We’re so private but look at our curated feed
-Overwhelming count 1, and omg remember when that profile on Meghan said she wanted the author to write her as whispering ethereally - I think she did that here - will someone tell Meg that she sounds like Emily Rose?
-I’m not like other girls +2
-Meghan’s friend is names Silver *pause for laughter* and she says her name 5000 times which good for her cause she used that name recall so well
-Meghan and Harry invented the rules of long distance - as if they didn’t have private planes and all the money in the world to fly commercial unlike other people in actual long distance
-Author Robert Hazell telling me that the royals are not privilege like I - the taxpaying people accuse them of having when they have no freedom and live in gilded cages and he does not envy them - HAHAHAAHHAHHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
That’s episode 1 folks. Join me again maybe next week. I need to get my brain cells recharged cause this show killed it.

MAG021, Freefall
Case #0022010, Moira Kelly Release date: May 26, 2016 First listen: 16th October, walk into work. Out in the countryside with nothing but farmland and a big ol’ sky with the sun coming up.
…. The sky just… ATE A DUDE FAM!… What am I meant to do with that!?
The Vast is a strange one for me. I am a country girl first and foremost, I love being need the sea and I get antsy if I go too long without seeing the curvature of the earth or at least a decent horizon line. Having said that, if I spend a second too long thinking about the emptiness of space and/or the deep ocean, I will stun lock myself. The Vast and The Buried have a profound effect on me in different directions because they just. Don’t. Care.
This statement has a bit of a different tone that I don’t think we’ve heard before. It’s a statement of someone recounting what I am going to call the inciting incident that happened to someone else. Why Moira was there to see the event and have that encounter with The Vast as a witness, she was essentially collateral in her son's story. It could be argued that Timothy Hodge of MAG006 is doing something similar, relaying Harriet’s ‘mugging’ by The Flesh Hive that led to her death, but there’s a different weight to this, this isn’t recounting something told to you by a near stranger. This is a mother mourning her son in a state of fear and confusion. I think it’s also one of the first statements that deals with a grief like this.
Yes, Naomi Herne, I said that with a full chest.
- But I think Moira's opening passage of the statement does give an indication of what she is dealing with. She says it ‘doesn’t make any sense’, that it makes her ‘head hurt awfully’ whenever she tried to think of it. Psychologists and other specialists, please chime in, but I’ve given to believe that PTSD can induce headaches. Although Moira's encounter was with The Vast, by proxy, I think the confusion and grief could play her more into the hands of The Spiral or The End. She does ask if she’s mad, doubting her own mental faculties as she appears says ‘it can’t have happened.’ However, as she describes her life, I think she’ll be picked up by The Lonely not too long after the loss of Robert.
- I had a look for Althorpe, Lincolnshire, as I grew up on that side of the UK and I was at a weird little border between 3 counties, Lincolnshire being one of them. Turns out, we’re at almost opposite ends of the county. But like Robert, I spent a lot of my childhood in the wild places, fields rather than woods and alone rather than with friends. waves a hand to aggressively bat away the looming spectre of Peter Lukas
- I’m looking at this kid and I can’t help but think he and Mr Timothy Stoker would have gotten on like a house on fire. Adventure holidays, and yes, I subscribe to the kayaking agenda, volunteering with charities.
- ‘...to the point where I wondered where he was getting the money...’ I would not be the first to draw connections between The Entities and how they can be allegories for capitalism and systems of oppression, but The Vast and Simon Fairchild in particular, are held in a certain light in my mind in connection to late stage capitalism and mega wealth. I have a whole essay on it that I’ll write one day, it’s currently a voice memo in dodgylogic’s inbox. But I think the sinking of time and money into this lifestyle, much the same way Laura Popham did with caving in MAG015, means that a potential victim is less likely to walk away before they’re primed for harvesting. The fear probably tastes different if it’s a seasoned pro having their world, the world were they’re competent and comfortable, betray them.
- I have absolutely no idea how long it takes to become a ‘fully qualified skydiving instructor’ and I think this is either a case of ‘I’m over thinking it’ or ‘yes kid, it’s painfully obvious, everyone had worked that out’ but they way he talks about the company and the job before he reveals he’s qualified… I’m reading it as the company approached him, recruited him and put him through the training. So they’re going to be a sense of commitment and obligation there on his part. They’re moulding him to be prime for the picking.
- ‘After that, I didn’t see him much. He was home for Christmas and Mother’s Day, if I was lucky...’ Feels like The Vast is pulling him one way and The Lonely pulling her the other.
- ‘Before he’d said anything I took him inside, sat him down and started to run a hot bath. Whatever had happened, I told him, could wait until he’d gotten himself together.’ Bless this woman, best mum.
- So Fairchild is supposedly doing this jump ‘in memory of his wife.’ I mean, obviously a cover, but do we ever hear of Fairchild actually having a wife or is this just an unpleasant little detail seeing as Moira had become a widow recently and was about to lose her son?
- I don’t like Simon. I hate pretty much all the Avatars with a few exceptions, but I don’t hate them equally. I do not like Simon Fairchild. I don’t like how he’s smiles and jokes and is all personable just before the act. I don’t like how we see in a later statement he can turn tempestuous when he’s defied. I don’t like him.
- Do we actually ever hear from Harriet Fairchild again? And actually, while we get Harriet Fairchild, Robert’s colleague and presumably the Fairchild representation in the business, we don’t get a confirmed connection between her and Simon in the body of the statement do we? Robert doesn’t know Simon as a Fairchild. For all the good it would do him.
- ‘Enjoy sky blue’… Well, that’s not ominous at all. The grammatical delivery just makes it all the more threatening.
- After his moment of dizziness, what if he’d sat down and not jumped out the plane? Would he have returned to the airfield as the plane just continued on, or was it already too late and was he stuck up there until he leapt?
- It’s hard for me to describe what I think I’m feeling when Robert describes that the ground is gone but I think it echoes in the realisation that Earth is gone in MAG057. It’s one of fear, but the fear is that of such a terrible loss, rather than fear for my own person. It’s a loss of everything that was. I’m not sure I can explain it well presently.
- Even though Moira ‘wasn’t sure (she) believed all what he was saying’ she still has the utmost care for her boy, looking after him as best she can. She asks ‘him how long he’d been falling’ and I love that there’s no ‘how do you think you’d been falling’. She doesn’t demand evidence or explanation.
- Harriet is an interesting one to me. We hear she was ‘surprised by how long it had taken him to get down’, but she is a Fairchild. Do the Fairchilds operate as a clan the same way the Lukas’ do? Is it just Simon who has any real power and the rest rally around? Has Simon cultivated a family as a cover, impact on ageing be damned? Does Harriet even know she’s feeding people to her weird Grandpa’s weird god?
- ‘I tried to talk him through his problems and his feelings...’ Moira tried, bless her. And she was making the same mental connections as any reasonable person would make in her stead.
- This statement just makes me so sad. This mother was doing her best to comfort her child after he’d been through a horrific ordeal she couldn’t understand. He was back recovering in the family home. She planned a calm and wholesome outing for the pair of them. I could be coaxed out of so many a terrible situation by my mum suggesting a walk and a picnic. This statement stings because it feels like such a violation of trust and an invasion of known and well trod territory; a career that Robert loved and was excelling in, a grassy beauty spot near the family home. Wide open spaces speak of opportunity and room to grow and change and I hate Simon Fairchild so much for robbing folk of that joy.
- ‘That last hour was one of the happiest I’d ever spent with my son.’ weeping
- ‘…he just screamed and pushed me away.’ I’d like to think this was an act to try and save her and draw whatever it was away. I hope it was. I can’t be sure.
- And the sky… ate him. Whatever had happened in Doncaster had followed him to his mother’s. It hadn’t struck in the moment or as he was reeling from the encounter, it waited until he was recovering, until the fear had receded, before moving in to strike. It was a waiting game. It had hunted him. Any time he was under the open sky, he was fair game.
- And so Open Skydiving never existed as an operating company. The Fairchilds, like the Lukas, seem to have a handle on business and corporations, so it’s just a shell company or front or whatever the correct term is. This leads me to believe Robert was recruited by them and the training was done in house, forging documentation and licenses as to not get governing bodies involved. Robert probably couldn’t believe his luck. Not long after graduation in the late 90s, and he’s recruited into a job and field he’s passionate about, the company sees to all his training. I can’t help but draw on the ‘army recruiter at a high school’ analogy I had a while back, I wonder how much of the decision was steered by the presence of student debt and slim job opportunities.
- There are new paper mentions about Open Skydiving a few years before the event takes place but the Archivist doesn’t divulge any details.
- ‘Tim really outdid himself here.’ I’m so proud of him. The Assistances are such hard working beans, I love them. They do such a good job.
- ‘In fact, for the four years prior, it’s hard to find any evidence for Robert Kelly’s existence at all.’ Open Skydiving just… housing and moving him. Walking larder, keeping him close.
- And in comes Martin.

Good morning/night! I love your recent post! I love how Maggie sympathize with our newly revived villain. All though I hate him in other shows/movies, you write him to be more likeable (≧▽≦)
I also loved your post about Basil, I love that the family is growing 💗
So... I was wondering if we could add another member? I wanna give Maggie a traumatized sibling 😀
One of y/n's underdogs from the mafia? And she and y/n have an Akutagawa and Dazai from bsd relationship? If you're not busy ofc ☺️
Omg I’m so glad you like my version of Grodd. I to don’t really enjoy his on screen adaptations, I think they did him dirty in the Flash. I mean hello, telepathic gorilla! He’s baby. Similar to Ivy, his motives makes sense, his execution is just what’s bad. But I wanted to bring in some more outside characters, maybe an excuse to have the Gotham characters interact with some people from Flash. They already have a branch out to Arrow.
I’m also really glad you’re enjoying Basil! I’m loving him so much so far. I feel like he’s way smarter than he lets off. He likes to seem nonchalant and I feel like he’s more on the emotionless side like Y/N and Victor. Considering he himself isn’t a human, he probably doesn’t care as deeply about human life as Maggie does.
I’m not quite sure about adding anyone else just yet. Of course I do love the idea, so thank you for suggesting it. But I don’t think now is the right time. There’s a lot to write already if that makes sense. But don’t worry, Maggie does have traumatised siblings. Have you seen Oliver and Thea? They are both messes. I mean Oliver has 8 seasons worth of trauma 😂 plus Thea after she comes back to life and half of her soul is gone because of thre Lazarus pit. And then she learns that’s her father isn’t even her father and has to be trained by Malcom Merlyn. So not against new characters, maybe let’s just flesh out these ones a little more first. Maybe you could ask Flay if they have any ideas for someone new?
So how about if I have her interact with her siblings a little more. Maybe Thea comes to her confessing she found out the truth about who her father is. I feel like Maggie would feel like an ass for not being there for her little sister. Not that she knew this revelation would happen, but she’d certainly blame herself for not checking in more. And it could be fun to have Oliver find out just how deep his little sister has gotten tangled in this villain web. I feel like he would try to “ground” her, and this would probably result in a verbal fight with Y/N and a physical fight with Victor.
I don’t think I’ve written much of Maggie just interacting with Victor yet. So maybe I’ll have them bond a bit more. But I feel like although he’s only a yandre for Y/N (and by association her “kids”) he doesn’t like when people try to control his “play things” so if Oliver came to town demanding Maggie come back home, or is Kara did the same for Basil, he would flip. Nobody takes them away from him, he wants to see their potential, and would be bored if they became goody two shoes hero’s.
But if it’s more trauma you want over all, I can do that! I like being a mean writer and torturing my Oc’s. Also if you’re interested and you have Wattpad, I have another Gotham series on there. There’s not as much written for that because I’ve been busy, but it’s in collaboration with one of my IRL friends Oc’s (I can link their AO3 account if you’re interested in that too, they have over a hundred chapters so you won’t get bored lol)
It’s closer to the comic book portrayal of the characters. And it focuses more on the hero side of things instead of the villains. The main focus is on the bat fam. My oc is Morrigan and his oc is Harley. So if you want more to read in the meantime while I get to writing, you could check those out!
Thanks for the ask Anon, love you <3

I write stories and try to put characters of different weights, shapes, and sizes in my work, and once in a while I try to re-imagine different characters from established series (especially the big two of DC and Marvel), whether as a what-if or a would-this-happen-because-of-that.
Like:
What if Cyclops were actually slim like his nickname suggested instead of being super buff (depending on the artist, timeline, etc.)? Would he be lanky as well?
Is a small toned Wonder Woman more believable than a buff one? (I personally think she should be taller and more muscular since she's a super powerful Amazon, but that's just my take.)
Would Barbara Gordon as Oracle get fat since she used to be very active and her body would've gotten used to needing many more calories? I know some athletes who get injured gain a lot of weight if they don't get back in the game for the same reason. She's also super busy helping everyone out in the Bat Fam, and probably wouldn't really have time to exercise.
Barbara got me thinking about other superheroes and superheroines being fat.
Obviously, some characters who might be more on the tech side, especially behind a computer.
We always have the scrawny nerd characters, but there would be some fat ones statistically.
Now, what about those who rely on tech?
Would Tony Stark have at least a small gut?
Depending on how busy he is as both head of Stark industries and as Iron Man, would he have the optimal time to work out?
Now, I know this would also depend upon which Tony we're talking about and the level of tech he would have (ne who's more hands on at Stark Industries and wouldn't leave it up to other people to run, and one who wouldn't have access to slimming tech), but I think it's plausible for an average Stark.
What about those who rely on powers?
I could see an average Mutant or Metahuman who's used to flying a lot or using telekinesis throughout the day as chubby or fat.
Even one with super strength. If they're not jogging/running or regularly weightlifting objects that no ordinary human can then they'd also put on weight.
Even supers like Raven may gain some weight/be fat.
I've never really read Teen Titans/Titans comics, but in the original Teen Titans cartoon, I know she was mostly flying and using her spells. I never really saw her punch, kick, or run (except maybe for plot convenience).
I would think she would be at least chubby or something.
What about characters that have impaired mobility?
Hector Hammond has a gigantic head and only gets around with telekinesis (though, there may be some other versions of him without the bobblehead).
Professor X, The Chief (Doom Patrol), and many other characters are either wheelchair bound or can't move around as well or as much as most characters can.
What about y'all? What characters do you see as muscular, fat, or skinny?

Words of love
Manic Panic- When I first found out I got you as my Secret Santa I was super stoked! I have fallen in love with your work time and time again as this past year has gone on through your drabbles, banter, and even our DND sessions. I am not always attentive and honestly, I have ADHD so bad that I'm not sure which browser in my head is running, how many, or where the music is coming from, but you never hesitate to welcome me into the fold and shenanigans that the Bat Fam is getting into. I value your friendship and I love how you encourage everyone's muse around you. You are such a bright light wrapped up into a Dark Knight here to save everyone from their writer's block and bullshit. I'm not the only one who feels this way and on down you will see the others that have reached out to add to my little love fest here! Happy Holidays Bat Dad. We love you and your brooding face!
J. -
God, I'm so not good at this mushy gushy stuff, BUT! It's Christmas, and part of a present, soooo…
I know I've told you time and time again how happy I am that we stumbled across each other, how grateful I am to have you as a writing partner and friend, and how incredible your writing is, but here I am, telling you one more time. (And I'll probably still tell you like a bajillion times more.) What you do? It's special. You really do have this innate ability to encapsulate Bruce's character— you give him life, and you bring a uniqueness to him through your words that cannot be replicated. And I think that comes from your own experiences on the other side of the screen. You're such a talent, and it doesn't hurt that you're so kind. And funny! That's always a win in my book.
Anyway, I don't want this to turn into a long, rambling tangent about how great you are, which it very well could, so let me just say that I adore you, I hope that you have an amazing Christmas, and I look forward to cooking up more stories with you.
Love, -J.
BOY WONDER - OKAY SO. I'M NOT SURE HOW I'M GONNA SUM UP HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU IN ONE PARAGRAPH, BUT WE'RE GONNA TRY. You are so special to me literally my best friend, the person who can make me laugh when I'm raging or wanna cry, and the one I know I can always count on to be in my corner no matter what. You're literally so talented like… sometimes I'm legit baffled by the beauty that is your writing. And now I'm not exaggerating No matter what character you're writing, whether it be a canon or oc you put every bit of that talent into them, and you dive in deep, getting to know them and expanding and it's just sdfjklsdf AWESOME okay. I love it. And I love every single connection we've ever made. Part of why I try to drag your ass around with me wherever I go but seriously. You do so much, not just for me but for everyone you come into contact with. You're generous and always quick to uplift and encourage people. And I for one would be completely lost without you. I'm pretty sure this is for your SS gift so MERRY CHRISTMAS and I love you and I can't wait to see your reaction to reading how much other people love you as well. xoxox GUNFIGHT - Bruce. Old Man. Your creativity is off the charts my guy. Reading your stuff is always an absolutely amazing experience no matter what character it is from. Your drabbles, to poetry, to replies, the writing always flows in a way no one else can match. Though some may try. But also your edits are cool af and bantering once in a blue moon is always fun. MEOWY CATMAS - Waynetech is one of the most supportive people I’ve met in this site, always encouraging others and sharing their work. He goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and included and he’s even nice to people who write the same character he does. This community could use more people like him.
BELIEVES IN LOVE - What can I say about Wayne Tech? They're a beautiful writer that captures Bruce so fantastically. They truly build a world and suck you right into it making you feel every last emotion and allowing for you to see the scene so well it's like you're watching a movie. They are also such a lovely friend and I'm so grateful that I've met them.
