Hey Brother
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Inspired by Loli-kolinaki by larunde
Dick and Danny Greyson were close. The nine and seven-year-old seemed almost more like twins. That was until tragedy struck the Flying Greysons, both parents dying and the youngest disappearing without a trace, leaving Dick to his own devices until Bruce Wayne came to the rescue. He would come to be known as Robin, then later Nightwing, never stopping his search for his missing brother. Over time, as no new evidence came forward, Dick became convinced his brother was dead. He would be half right.
Danny Fenton didn't have many memories from before he found himself in the Amnity foster system, but what he did know he treasured, holding soft memories of kind smiles and high-flying acts. He did his best to stay connected to his roots, maintaining his acrobatic training and Romani. Then came his accident, and all that took a back seat. The accident had an odd effect, bringing back memories of falling through the broad green he now knew to be the Ghost Zone. As his relationship with other ghosts improved, he began spending time with Desiree, both bonding over their shared heritage, separated by centuries as they were. She came to care for the boy (he would not call her good, never good, but she was sweet, and that was enough)
A twenty-one-year-old Dick was having what could be called a mental breakdown. Jason, his brother was dead, and the last time they’d talked had been a screaming match two weeks before his death. His adopted dad was midway through his own shitstorm and was generally being a bitch intent on getting himself killed as well, there was a literal child following them everywhere and the damn insult of a clown was still standing. He was high when he said it, with no idea anyone was listening, let alone the consequences it would have.
“I just... I wish I had my brother.”
.
.
.
“So you have wished it, so it shall be.”
.
.
.
Desiree at least had the decency to give Danny a heads-up before sending him to a separate universe to help mend his long-lost brother’s fractured life. The rules were simple; Danny could not do anything to reveal his identity, and could not return to Amnity until they knew who he was. He could use his powers, but quickly realized that if he was going to get through to his brother’s family he’d be best off at least pretending to be human. There was no Phantom without Amnity, instead, Gotham got Magpie, a man more on vacation than a mission with a spirit box on his hip and a penchant for areal silk.
Things maintained like that for a while. The Bat colony was making progress; Tim had been successfully put through therapy and had more or less stopped incessantly stalking Danny. That was until one day a chill ran down his spine. Danny did not know Jason Todd, so when he found the kid wandering around with no memories and a soul barely hanging on to a broken body, he had no idea that this was more or less his brother. Still, he took care of him, helping nurse him back to health. Eventually, Jason decided to start working with Magpie under the name Cardinal, keeping his distance from the Colony until such time as he can look at them without wanting to punch someone (luckily being Cardinal means he can do that without questions)

you ever become obsessed with your own sentences
He could tell the truth. But he was frozen. Somehow he knew that if he did talk, they would just have found that fascinating, and probably would have started with his throat instead.

Smell Check [Easy: Failure]
MDZS Disco Elysium AU part 1 (part 2 - part 3)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#disco elysium#MDZS Disco Elysium AU#So sad I didn't manage to get this comic out on the 15th (pd-mdzs's 8 month anniversary and DE's 4th year anniversary) but I'm here *now*#I have a very extensive and detailed MDZS Disco Elysium AU that I am Not Normal About.#I've seen a few other people point out the potential in a crossover (true) but they make the mistake in having it be set in 51!#A true crossover would take place closer to The Antecentennial Revolution!#Disco Elysium did not go that hard on its cool lore for people to only make surface level crossovers!!!#One day I'll write the fic or post my notes. I don't know who would read it but it tickles *my* brain and that's enough.#No spoilers for DE (here or in comments (please)) but please consider....Magpie Wei Wuxian B*) On his way to be an innocent.#I do think there is a good chance a chunk of the MDZS readership would enjoy DE but...it's also not a game I easily recommend#It's more of an experience you have to marinate over. It's dark in ways that are off putting to some people.#It makes you feel like a very bad person all the time. It gets extremely personal if you allow yourself to be honest in your answers#and it's also the game that saved my life. My life was truly forever changed after playing disco elysium.#If I recommend it to people it's a badge of the trust I have in you to appreciate something dear to me B'*)#If you decide to play: PLEASE go in as blind as possible. You will regret spoiling yourself.#edit: this is based on real disco elysium dialogue. HDB has many canon kinks but this is not one of them

All I'm saying is not every day that a blond British man gets influenced by a purple all-consuming greedy deity, but it has happened more than once.
At least, Philza is lucky he actually told someone and stopped before something worse happened, unlike Martyn because who the hell is he going to tell he can listen to the whispers of the Watchers.

Deaf!Regulus AU is a lot sadder than Blind!Regulus actually.
Regulus isn’t cursed deaf, he’s born that way, the inbreeding and his mother’s somewhat more reckless behaviour while pregnant with him causing it - after all, she’s already got her heir, and while Walburga doesn’t lose her mind and start hurting her children until Regulus is toddling, she lets loose a little more while pregnant with the spare - and from the first instance of her being told, the nurse smiling sadly at Walburga and offering her back her carefully swaddled youngest, she is... disappointed.
Walburga’s disappointment is sharp edged, and ruthless. Regulus learns to lip read as fast as he otherwise would have learned to talk because he has to, if he wants to avoid punishment; he learns to speak, too, diction and tone perfect, because his mother drills him in it, day after day, until you’d never guess that he’s actually deaf.
Orion is the one who learns and then teaches him sign language, and he and Sirius are the only ones who use it to speak to Regulus, before he starts at Hogwarts. It’s as much as blessing as a curse, because it’s French sign language, rather than the BSL he’s far more likely to come across while living in the UK, but it’s better than his entire family expecting him to communicate the same as everyone else, and punishing him when he doesn’t respond to conversation starters he doesn’t see.
He gets really good at knowing when Walburga is about to speak, and at keeping his eyes locked on her so he hardly ever misses her addressing him. Sirius adapts around this, when they’re children, waits until he’s sure their mother is finished before tapping Regulus on the wrist and talking to him.
This changes after his first year at Hogwarts, after he starts arguing with Walburga at the dinner table, and Regulus is so caught up trying to look between the two of them to keep up with the words flung back and forth that he misses both of them trying to drawn him into the conversation, gets a disappointed scowl from Sirius that hurts almost as much as the hexes from their mother.
When he starts at Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat speaking into his mind startles him so hard he almost falls off the stool, the first instance of something like hearing someone leaving him wide eyed, staring up at the brim; and McGonagall watched him with a concerned frown, even as the other students giggle at the dramatic reaction.
The only person who knows to make sure they’re in his eyeline when they speak to him is Evan - they’re cousins after all, have known each other since they were six, and Regulus told him he was deaf long before Walburga enforced the rule that he was to tell no one, that it was a shameful thing to admit - and Regulus quickly gets a reputation for being the rudest First year there’s ever been, flatly ignoring anyone who isn’t the professors or Rosier.
Until Pandora susses out that his rudeness isn’t intentional - not yet, the self defence of sharp words still forming - and makes it her mission to learn how to talk to him, and to make things easier for him in general, having decided Regulus is to be her best friend.
She learns sign language, makes Evan - and then Barty and Dorcas - learn it with her, and then they all learn BSL as a group.
(The first time Sirius spots Regulus communicating with his new friends by signing but can’t understand it, he’s so angry and hurt he can hardly breathe. He demands the Marauders as a group learn BSL, and never tells them why, and they don’t find out for years.)
The night Sirius leaves, Regulus isn’t woken up by the arguing, but does stir when Sirius shakes him awake, face covered in blood from his broken nose, eyes wide and frightened.
Sirius begs him to leave with him; Regulus tells him no, but promises to stop Walburga following him. Promises to distract her until he’s settled.
Sirius hugs him tightly, and whispers something Regulus can’t hear but can feel against his temple, and leaves.
(Regulus distracts his parents by finally telling everyone that he’s deaf at the first society event they attend after Sirius runs away. Rabastan Lestrange grabs him by the shoulder and demands that he pay attention, calls him rude; and Regulus sneers back at him, and replies in a carefully loud voice that ‘I’m not rude, I’m deaf. I’d imagine the rude one, Rabastan, is the one blaming the person incapable of hearing him for not responding to his words. You should be embarrassed.’
The delighted amusement at how thoroughly Regulus dresses down Bella’s brother in law is only just surpassed by the shock at the revelation. By the time he returns to school for his fifth year, most of the Pureblood children his age have been put through lessons in BSL; he starts communicating with his friends in the original French sign language again to keep their conversations private.)
Side points:
-Lily already knows BSL, and knows Reg is deaf long before anyone else. They keep each other company in Slug Club, gossiping in corners. Regulus has some of the best observational gossip to share; when Sirius and the rest of the Marauders figure out that their favourite gossip from Remus came from Lily who got it from Reg, they Lose their collective minds.
-After the start of Fifth year, when Remus has moons that leave him suffering from sensory overload, he sits in the back of the library with Regulus and takes sign language lessons from him. They don’t talk, and Sirius knows to stay away, and eventually Remus figures out that Regulus has access to the best hot chocolate, courtesy of being friends with all the House Elves.
-When James starts his pursuit of Regulus, he tries similar things to when he was pursuing Lily; namely, charming things to serenade him. It takes him an embarrassing number of attempts to realise just why it’s not even garnering Regulus’ irritation; Sirius laughs so hard he falls off his bed. James switches tactics sheepishly.
-Sirius and Regulus’ reconciliation is a stuttering kind of thing, but when he eventually apologises for the arguing and how it got Regulus hurt, he tells him to stop. Sirius absolutely should be sorry for how he treated Regulus when he wasn’t able to speak in support of him, but he doesn’t need to apologise for their mother. She was never Sirius’ fault.

Reverse Robin AU where Duke was the first to be adopted by Bruce and Dick was the last. Explanation + alt versions under readmore:
Flats:
Tumblr media
Lineart:
Tumblr media
Bruce Wayne aka Batman
Emotionally distanced father figure to all of his kids.
Due to his first few children being more or less child soldiers, he sometimes has a hard time recognizing them for themselves and not what they were molded into.
Handles grief by going on patrol more.
Duke Thomas aka Lark
Primary weapon: Modified escrima sticks
His parents were Jokerized when he was young in one of the Joker's senseless attacks. Due to this, he was placed into foster care.
He runs away a lot in order to get revenge on the Joker and kill him. Bruce steps in when he gets dangerously close to the Joker's hideout one day.
Bruce ends up fostering, not soon after adopting Duke, in an attempt to show him revenge is not the way.
Duke ends up training under Batman to more or less channel his frustrations and to learn. He never took on a name but he was dubbed Batman's shadow or Shadow.
He becomes the first leader of the Teen Titans when he is an older teenager.
After growing up and having a less than stellar relationship with Bruce, Duke leaves for Bludhaven to become his own hero. He takes on the mantle of Lark (named after specifically western meadowlark).
Him and Bruce primarily fight about Bruce's inability to be a father and relying on his adopted children to more or less raise each other, causing a lot of in fighting and eventual death.
He struggles with maintaining the hero life, effecting him in his relationships and teams as wears on him.
In addition, Duke rarely will interact with Bruce one on one since Damian died, each time a sibling or friend died he grows more distant.
His powders develop soon after and he struggles with them but learns to handle them quickly.
He becomes a beloved hero and is commonly seen helping the Justice League.
He is a very caring and gentle older brother however he also supports his siblings doing dangerous things since it "builds character" and "we're vigilantes, who cares about laws anyways."
Does not quite agree with Bruce's mission and feels he is too lenient on criminals
Damian Wayne aka Magpie
Primary weapon: Katana sword
Damian was raised in the League of Assassins since his birth. He was given to Bruce in order for him to further his training.
Bruce refused to let Damian go back to the League and takes him permanently. He comes a little under a year since Bruce has taken Duke into his care.
Damian ends up taking up the name Shadow as well while under Batman, training and working alongside Duke.
Struggles finding himself when he only sees himself in Batman's shadow.
After Cassandra is adopted next, he leaves Batman and returns to the League of Assassins in an attempt to understand his place among both family lineages. He tries to reform the League but fails, leading his mother to assume control.
He ends up dying due to Talia, the first of Bruce's children but he is resurrected by the Lazarus Pits. It is unclear who resurrected him however his current goal to is to find out who and why.
He returns to Gotham and takes on the name Magpie (specifically the Eurasian Magpie). He operates generally alone.
Cassandra Cain aka Shadow
Primary weapon: Fists
Cassandra is initially discovered by Minhkhoa Khan (Ghost Maker) after she escapes from David Cain in an attempt to find herself and own path.
Khoa offered to train her and she accepted. However gifted Cass was and how well she fought alongside Khoa, their morals were too drastically different. Cass refused to kill under Khoa despite understanding why he does it.
Khoa ends up realizing Cass is a lost cause for himself and rather than letting such talent go to waste, he takes her to Bruce since their morals align and he can take up such a child.
Cass is then under the care of Bruce however she is primarily raised by Duke and Damian as Bruce still struggles with balancing all aspects of his life.
She is the third adopted child of Bruce.
Cass never officially takes on any name however most people call her Shadow like previous Batman sidekicks.
She is close with Stephanie when she comes into the family both times.
She fights with Barbra a lot, having a complicated relationship with her.
Stephanie Brown aka Black Mask
Primary weapon: Guns
Stephanie is never adopted by Bruce.
She comes to a part of the bat family through Cass. Cass tries and stops her as she is currently going out in Gotham as Spoiler to stop her father Clue Master.
Cass helps her stop her father and is more or less taken in by Bruce.
She ends up training under him and takes on the mantle of Shadow as Damian is gone and Duke has recently become Lark.
Due to simple bad luck, she ends up causing a massive gang war in Crime Alley. All attempts to stop it go horrific, leading her to eventual death by Black Mask.
Steph is somehow brought back to life a few months later (unclear as to how, however it is suspected to have some connection with The Black)
She realizes that Batman has done nothing for change to how he raises children or sidekicks as Gotham is even worse than before her death. She ends up killing Black Mask as revenge, leaving his severed head to be found by Batman personally.
She ends up taking over Black Mask's name and is primarily protecting Crime Alley.
Steph ends up meeting Bruce's newest kid not soon after, Tim, the newest Shadow. However Tim is able to convince Black Mask to reform so Batman doesn't strike down on her. Tim discovers that Black Mask is in fact Stephanie and is able to convince her to not only change her ways but return to the family. She however does not leave the name behind.
Tim Drake
Primary weapon: Bo staff
His parents weren't around much due to travels however that didn't stop Tim from finding his own path. He primarily travels to inner Gotham in attempt to learn more about it's protectors. It's more so a passing interest that leads him to finding out their identities.
Tim notices that Batman has begun to act erratic in Gotham soon after he figures out his identity. He discovers that his second oldest son is missing (currently resurrected by not yet returned) and that his newest sidekick, the third Shadow has died.
Tim attempts to help Batman however in his search to get Batman better without him knowing, he is caught up in a situation with the rouge Captain Boomerang. He flees back to him home but Captain Boomerang follows and ends up killing Tim's parents to get to him.
Batman is too late to the scene to help Tim's parents but saves Tim himself.
He adopts Tim but doesn't reveal his identity. Bruce continues to act more erratic as Batman and Tim reveals he knows he's Batman and needs a Shadow or else Gotham will fall to chaos.
He becomes the next Shadow and soon after discovers Steph is alive as Black Mask. He helps her return to the family.
Damian also returns to Gotham finally, him and Tim however have a poor relationship and tend to have violent fights due to Bruce's differing treatment between them.
Tim ends up taking on the name of Red Hawk when Jason is adopted after him.
Tim primarily operates in Gotham however he is not overly close to any of family members other than Stephanie and Cass.
He ends up spending time with the League with Damian for some time after he becomes Red Hawk in order to find Bruce who is lost in the time stream. He has a strained relationship with the League.
Jason Todd aka Shrike
Primary weapon: Knives
Adopted by Bruce after he attempts to steal the Batmobile tires.
Jason ends up thriving under the care of Bruce and getting to live the childhood he was deprived of. However Bruce is struggling since Jason is the first of his kids he doesn't have help with raising. All of his other children have left the mansion and have become their own heros.
Jason does know that Bruce is Batman after being told by his siblings but has no desire to follow in his footsteps. Steph and Tim, backed by Damian, encourage him to become Shadow to better bond with Bruce but also to help stop Bruce's deteriorating mental state. He begrudgingly accepts.
Soon after he discovers his birth mom is alive. Jason tries to get his siblings to help him with his personal mission but they either ignore his requests or state that he is Shadow, he will be fine.
He leaves without any backup and ends up falling in a trap set by the Joker. He is tortured and then later murdered by an bomb set by the Joker. Bruce is too late in tracking him down and cannot save him.
Jason is later revived by Superboy Prime reality altering punch. He is soon found the League of Assassins and is placed into the Lazarus Pit. He is kept at Nanda Parbat and trained there.
Ra's al Ghul tries to use the possibility of Jason being alive to lure Damian and/or Tim back to the League to be the next heir once Jason is fairly stable.
Side note, Tim and Damian do in fact meet Jason in the League but he has not been put into the pits yet. They are currently there is search of Bruce who is lost in the time stream.
Jason escapes the League and takes on the name of Shrike when he returns to Gotham. Named specifically after the Masked Shrike. The name is chosen because the birds are unassuming but violent and stab/impale things. Jason is primarily proficient in knives.
He sets out to hunt down and either harm or kill each of his older siblings, his anger is directed mostly at them. They were the ones who forced him into the role of Shadow which killed him, they were the ones who didn't help him.
He is captured by Cass, Tim, and Damian and brought back to the cave in order to identify him as he knows their league names specifically which means they are compromised. They discover Shrike is their dead brother.
Jason escapes and they are currently playing a game of cat and mouse as Jason both hates and fears his siblings but refuses to get their help.
Currently is making a mess of Gotham while his siblings try to corral him.
Dick Grayson aka Robin
Primary weapon: Escrima sticks
Most recent of Bruce's adoption.
Was originally the missing son of two circus performers, he was found nearly two years later under the control of the Court of Owls.
He was being trained to be the next Talon was making rapid progression with his training. He was only discovered as the bat family was taking down the last of the Court when he tried to kill them.
Dick was tasked specifically with taking down rogue Talons however, he will take down any threat to himself as well meaning that Bat family in this case.
He wasn't fully turned and the bats were able to get him under control. They learn soon he was the missing circus child.
Bruce takes him Dick since he cannot function in a normal environment. He struggles with the family is more or less terrified of them.
He is very strict and obeys every thing he is told. Damian ends up primarily taking over raising him and getting him out of his conditioning from the Court of Owls since he has a similar up bringing from when he was in the League.
They make progress by allowing him to train among each other. He takes on the name Robin after his parents nickname for him, forgoing the Shadow mantle.
He becomes Damian's sidekick rather than Bruce and Dick ends up mostly living with Damian as a result.
Dick struggles with his emotions and reactions, tending to either be autopilot or an angry child. Damian struggles controlling him but over time he learns to help Dick express emotions in better ways.
Barbara Gordon aka Code Breaker
Barbara is no adopted by Bruce.
Her spinal injury is caused by the Court of Owls (unclear if it was Dick specifically) who harmed her as a message to Commissioner Gordon and Batman to leave the Court alone or else those they love will suffer.
She befriends Cassandra and Dick as a family friend first as Bruce offers to help with all medical costs for Barbara.
She quickly learns that Bruce is Batman and ends up forcing herself into the family to help protect them in any way she can. It's her way of returning the favor from Bruce.
She takes on the name Code Breaker and primarily uses her computer skills to get information.
General ages:
Bruce - 46 Duke - 28 Damian - 27 Cassandra - 25 Stephanie - 24 Tim - 21 Jason - 17 Dick - 14 Barbara - 15

Inspired by this lovely fic
Once Jasper finds out about this feathered predicament he’d absolutely tell Jekyll everything there is to know about large avian species he keeps and how he cares for them, neat bird facts in general, and advice on how to care for and maintain Jekylls wings. Maybe also lecture him for his neglect of the latter too-
(Hyde may or may not be listening in… he got invested with cool bird facts. Turns out Geese wings are so strong they can break bones, imagine what human sized wings could do!)

in the woods, in the mountains, is a good place to begin
(FOtPoD progress & update info under the cut)
so! turns out FOtPoD is going to be much longer than originally planned! I am currently writing 8 more parts for it (40 chapters T-T). this fic/AU has consumed my life. I'm also writing original series (my comics Black Dog & DIM), but those are on the backburner while I finish FOtPoD.
each part will be posted individually, at 5 chapters each, to make the newly added parts easier deal with. I am the world's slowest writer, but also life has been happening continuously so that should probably be taken into consideration. once the first 8 parts are finished, I will start posting.
not gonna lie, I'm not sure what I'm going to do once FOtPoD is finished. I've been absorbed in this world for years. my playlist is 8 hours long. maybe I'll print it out & put it on my bookshelf.

I saw @notsogoodangel's Martyn in QSMP AU and immediately had to open a canvas
(I may have taken a while and it's still a lil wonky, but I'm so out of practice OTL)
Including my design notes on Magpie!Martyn and the differences between his wings and Phil's, as well as the obligatory twins swapping places stuff.
I like to think that they don't even really try to convince people that hard when they swap, but they have the feds completely fooled and those that have figured it out are immediately in on the bit and back them up where they can.
Personally I think it would be really interesting if the Federation were trying to tp Phil in to reclip his wings after they recover in purgatory, and they just get Martyn instead and he's like "???? yeah sure why not, I'm Phil" and they clip his newly created wings with no actual explaination before dumping him at spawn or on top of the wall.
