do you have any good fic recs? i've just finished reading all of your fics (AMAZING btw i LOVE competent jason and you write him sooo well) and obviously you have good taste so i thought i might as well ask (i will say that i don't really do ship fics tho)
thank you! looking forward to what you have in store for jason and the batfam next!
First, thank you for the ask! And I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying my fics!! 😊 I’m on vacation this week and finally writing again (had a bit of a rough writer’s block patch). So hopefully I’ll be posting more content in the next couple of weeks.
Fic recs - boy do I ever. I will say, I have super varied tastes in fics, I’ll read just about anything Gen that’s Jason-centric, plus a few Jason ships (although I’m pretty picky about what actually makes it into my bookmarks). All of the fics I’m rec’ing below are Gen, although some might have flavors of a relationship (likely JayRoy since that’s my preferred pairing). I tried to pick a selection of different styles and tropes, so hopefully you find something you like. Almost all these authors have multiple fics I’ve loved, so look at their other works on ao3 for more great reading (you may need to be logged into ao3 to see some of them). Enjoy!
Fic recs
Glow in the Dark Stars by essspressso (stylesmakethefight)
This is a time travel fic that made me bawl ugly tears, like seriously bawl. Read if in need of a good cry.
The Cold Like Coming Home by cabezas_de_vaca
An interesting one-shot of Jason and Bruce finding their way back to each other.
More Chances Than Deserved 'Verse by Skalidra @skalidra
A series that starts out post batarang, Jason does not rejoin the family.
Gotham CPS by ebjameston
Not sure how to even describe this one, it’s pure hilarity told by an outsider POV.
Nests and Cages by LanternWisp, Lysical @lanternwisp
A series detailing Jason’s journey back to the family. The last installment of the series has probably the best reconciliation discussion between Jason and Bruce re: Bruce taking on another Robin that I’ve ever read.
Buy One Get One Free by Here_we_go
A series that starts with catatonic Jason. I love how Jason is written in this one so so much (especially the main first part), and there’s a short segment later in the series with Talia that’s lovely.
fever by r_astra @heyy-its-skip
One-shot. Quality batdad in the context of a sick fic
nightmares and daydreams by r_astra @heyy-its-skip
One-shot. Beware, there’s some heavy duty torture in this one. Jason & Tim isn’t usually my thing, but I really like their brief interaction in this one.
all the small weights by sparkycap
One-shot. More quality batdad, this time in the context of fear toxin
a (cat)astrophe in the making by mikkal
Part of a loosely connected series, if I’m remembering correctly. I’m a firm believer that Jason Todd needs a cat.
Red Hood by envysparkler @envysparkler
An amazing Jason rejoins the family, classic fix it, set early in Lost Days continuity. Envysparkler’s works are pretty much solely responsible for getting me into the Batfam. This fic in particular motivated me to start writing TPWC.
Overcoming Our Antecedents by Batbirdies @batbirdies
De-aging fic, this isn’t my favorite trope, but of what’s out there, I like the dynamics in this one.
Things We Only Talk About After Dark by BabblingBookends
One-shot. More good batdad, but not fluffy like the other two above. I really like how Bruce is written in this one, how he struggles with the unknown.
Kidnapped! by Cerusee @cerusee
One-shot set in Jason’s Robin days. One of my favorites for father and son feels.
A MOMENT THAT'S HELD IN YOUR ARMS. by orpheusaki
More baby Robin Jay and good dad Bruce.
White Lighters / Afterglow by lurkinglurkerwholurks @lurkinglurkerwholurks
One-shot. Another one that legitimately made me cry.
Druthers by d_aia @e-alexandrescu
A really creative, not-your-typical-take on Jason rejoining the family. Sniper Jason is so frelling cool.
I linked the tumblr’s for the authors I know of. If you have any to add, leave them in the comments and I’ll update!

This wasn't asked for because nobody in their right mind would ask for this but this is a fic rec list of fics I cannot stop rereading
Just started yet another reread of Inimitable Verse by deniigiq and I fully plan on rereading their into the multiverse series which occasionally crosses over also - this is a Spider-Man/team red focused series, think comics canon infused early mcu-spidey since only homecoming had come out for a non substantial amount of time they were working on the series and the daredevil stuff is explicitly tv show AND comics. Also the multiverse series is how I got into Murderdock and therefore how I got into Spider Gwen
Unpretty's Sorrowful And Immaculate Hearts series which is just a loosely interconnected series of DC fics. My personal favorites are Empty Graves, in which Martha Kent keeps killing time travelers trying to kill baby! Clark; any of their clois fics but especially Third Wheel; and Anti-Social, which is a social media fic mostly about Tim and Bruce that made me cry laughing. Catch Bruce trying to get Walmart's employees to unionize. Also shout out to unpretty's only fic with Jason in it, it looks awesome but is tragically incomplete
This particular Reverse Robin AU which put in the work to reverse every single younger generation and is chef's kiss I LOVE this version of Tim he's wild
Both of Shoalsea's fics are in constant rotation for me I talk about Into The Brighter Night all the time in the tags of reblogs and stuff it truly lives in my head rent free. Anyway Tim gets kidnapped by aliens and the batfam have to watch as yj98 saves him and it's angsty and funny and such a good take on what could have been if the new 52 hadn't happened. And Compassion Builds No House is about Tim and Pru from Red Robin. Ugh they're both so good
Speaking of Clois (I did you've just forgotten this by now) brilliant (like a confession) by kathkin (penny-anna on the hellsite) is so fucking good I'm. Okay. Anyway it'll be listed as inspiration if/when I finally post my two person love triangle fic for them
I'm too anxious to catch up on this before it's done but jumble sale chic is hands down the best spideydevil fic series despite and because of the omegaverse
Make A Little Birdhouse In Your Soul is my favorite take on Jason, period, and has a lot of fantastic Damian stuff going on too. It's updating every few weeks still! Sometimes more often! I love you bacondoughnut it's me JustGail the person who will not stop commenting on your fic you're stuck with me forever
I lied above Rumspringa Murderdock is what got me into Murderdock but that series is second place. I found this one while scrolling through the tv show's mattfoggy tag, thinking I was safe
Speaking of Murderdock mattfoggy, The Lawyer All the Wickedness was written early on in spider-gwen's history and so diverges from canon really early in ways that I think are super interesting and creative
Oh also straight on 'til morning by merils (Tumblr url mamawasatesttube) does SUCH a great job unpacking Kon's trauma and building up healthy relationships around him including a budding timkon romance and yeah it makes me sad and happy at the same time
We're getting into poisonivory territory so just trust if you like the pairing and poisonivory is writing it you'll like it. Ok rapidfire
Like A Handprint On My Heart mattfoggy soulmate au with a twist
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? Damijon future fic/au. Jon came back from the future when both of them were 19. Demisexual!Damian at its best. Damian's terrified of being abandoned by Jon again and it made my heart hurt
I feel like I've already recommended every JayRoy fic by poisonivory and genuinely I do reread them all, sometimes in order of publication if I'm in a particular mood. Maybe the one I've read most though is I've Got the Feeling You're the Right Thing After All which is about Roy and Jason starting a fwb thing while Roy still harbors old feelings for Dick. Can't see anything going wrong here lmao
Mmm this post is long enough so I'll leave it at just superhero fic for now but I do in fact have the ability to do a whole post just for the Witcher or Leverage so I might do that. Anyway thanks for following me on yet another burst of insanity it will happen again
#fic recs#team red#spiderman#mattfoggy#murderdock#daredevil#spideydevil#damijon#timkon#jayroy#clois#batfam#superfam#marvel comics#dd tv#marvel#dc#gail speaks#if I didn't also list their tumblr urls we're not mutuals#although obviously a lot of them are in fact on tumblr

Are your ships the jealous type?
Thanks for the question!
I'm gonna start with BatFam first this time.
BatFam:
Birdflash: I honestly can't see either of these two being the jealous type. I say this because they've both dated their fair share of people that the other person knows. So if they were a jealous type it would kind of isolate a lot of their friend group. And I just can't see that happening. Besides birdflash strikes me as being very secure in their relationship so they have no reason to be jealous.
Jayroy: Oh 100%. Both of them are. Not to their friends who have dated their significant other because they see that as the past. However, I could definitely see them getting jealous if a new person were to flirt with either of them. I could see Jason and Roy going to a parent-teacher conference or a school function and meeting one of Lian's teachers who is just obsessed with Roy being a single parent. She is constantly complimenting him and saying how hard it must be that he doesn't have a wife. Meanwhile, Jason is repeating in his head "It is not okay to shoot people it is not okay to shoot people it is not okay to shoot people". It doesn't often happen with Jason because he is technically dead. Yet when it does happen Roy acts the same way.
TimKon/TimBernKon: This one was hard. On one hand, I can't see Tim ever getting jealous because he's Tim Drake. He is technically the catch in their relationship because he is a CEO millionaire (billionaire?). However, I can see him getting jealous in certain situations. Most of the time it's not over Bernard it's over Kon. Not that Bernard isn't attractive but he's not SuperBoy. Plus Kon's got that whole bad boy look about him. So I could see him easily pulling both men and women without even trying. His boyfriends don't fault him for that but they will stare daggers if anyone tries. Some people have also been known to have unfortunate things happen to them out of nowhere. No one can prove that it's Tim and they never will.
JonDami: See my first instinct was Damian. However, I could definitely see this being both of them. Damian is jealous when it comes to Jon because Jon is the golden boy and people often wonder what he's doing with Damian. However, on the flip side, Damian is fucking Damian Wayne. He is rich, intelligent, creative, and successful. So a lot of people may be vying for his attention. Which is why I could see Jon being jealous of anyone who gets to spend time with Damian because of their status.
StephCass: This is another one that I can't see it being either of them. Steph and Cass are very secure in their relationship and each other. Therefore there is no reason for them to be jealous. Even though Cassandra grew up as an assassin, I think her and Stephanie are pretty evenly matched as couples go. Therefore there's no real way to make the other jealous.
The Mighty Ducks:
Banksway: Both of them are the jealous type And I will die on that hill. However, it's for different reasons. Adam is the jealous type because he's always worried he's not enough for Charlie. Or that Charlie would be better off with someone else. Charlie is the jealous type because of his background. Since Adam and he come from two very different backgrounds I could see Charlie being jealous of any one who is on the cake-eater side of things.
Wudoza: Kenny is probably the jealous type before they get together. After they get together neither of them is the jealous type. I say this because after they get together they've already chosen each other so there's no reason for them to be jealous. In Kenny's mind, he already won he got the boy. Therefore he has no reason to be jealous.
Gerreau: I think both of them have had their moments of jealousy but I don't think they're the jealous type. I think it's normal for most couples to be jealous when they see somebody flirting with a person that they like. However, Connie and Guy strike me as very secure In their feelings for each other so unless they were on a break or something I can't see either of them being jealous in the relationship.
Tammy/Fulton: I've Written Fulton as the jealous type. However, I think that's the same thing with Connie and Guy where they're only jealous when they're not in a relationship with each other. However, I could see once they get together it doesn't really affect them. There's no reason for them to be jealous because like Kenny they've already won.
Thank you for the ask!

jayroy for the meme
who hogs the duvet
Jason, 100%. Listen. One of these men wears a leather jacket over kevlar, and the other one doesn't own anything with sleeves. Who do you think is always cold?
who texts/rings to check how their day is going
Roy, because he is a chatterbox and also needs a lot of validation.
who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts
Jason, because his love languages are all non-verbal gift-giving and caretaking. (THE WATCH COMIC. ;_; )
who gets up first in the morning
Roy, to get Lian ready for school.
who suggests new things in bed
ROY LOL. I don't think anyone expected a different answer here! Jason is eager but inexperienced, Roy has plans and schemes.
who cries at movies
Mostly neither of them, but there is a specific genre of sad children's movie (The Land Before Time, Lilo and Stitch, Dumbo) that will instantly reduce Roy to a weepy puddle. Lian's fine with them but he has to leave the room during "Baby Mine."
who gives unprompted massages
Honestly probably both of them? Not even for sexy reasons, they both just constantly need PT.
who fusses over the other when they’re sick
Absolutely Jason. See above re: caretaking being his love language (and like...rationally he knows that as a small child he could not have saved his mom from being "sick," but that instinctive panic and Need To Fix is never going to go away entirely).
who gets jealous easiest
Jason. He has very little that is his and he doesn't like to share it.
who has the most embarrassing taste in music
So I have this thing where I tend to associate characters with music either from around their debuts, or crucial moments in their history. To me, Roy's musical tastes skew towards the 60s and 70s, his early Titans/Snowbirds/Great Frog years - so a lot of classic rock, folk, soul, etc. Pretty universally recognized as "cool" music. (With some nostalgic love for 40s swing and blues, which he canonically listened to growing up with Ollie.)
Meanwhile I associate Jason with the early 80s, so like...early Michael Jackson and Madonna, "Total Eclipse of the Heart," the Flashdance soundtrack. I firmly believe that to this day he thinks "Open Arms" by Journey is the most romantic song ever recorded. He's right, but yeah, the answer here is Jason.
who collects something unusual
What's more unusual, ancient weapons or vintage books?
who takes the longest to get ready
I think they're both pretty quick! The vigilante lifestyle trained them well.
who is the most tidy and organised
Jason. He is a Bat (and not one of the ones who was used to servants), he is orderly.
who gets most excited about the holidays
Roy. Jason doesn't like to get excited about anything in case it's a trap.
who is the big spoon/little spoon
They switch off, but mostly Jason is the big spoon, because he likes to cling and Roy likes to be clung to.
who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports
Both of them, they're awful. The only reason no one has broken a bone is because Roy also thinks Jason's hot when he gets competitive so the game usually gets derailed by sex.
who starts the most arguments
Stupid arguments over nothing: Roy. Actual fights: Jason.
who suggests that they buy a pet
Lian. Frequently.
what couple traditions they have
Cleaning their gear after a mission. I'm serious.
what tv shows they watch together
Honestly, I watch so little TV that I am going to be terrible at answering this question for every pairing. I think they're more likely to put on something mindless and zone out when they get back from patrol at 3 am and need to decompress than anything where they need to follow a narrative. Probably cooking show reruns.
what other couple they hang out with
Kyle and Connor, when Kyle's on Earth. Yes, Jason and Kyle still hate each other. It's very entertaining.
how they spend time together as a couple
Raising Lian, fighting crime, Roy being ridiculous and Jason trying to pretend he's not charmed by it.
who made the first move
Roy made a very long series of incrementally tiny moves that Jason didn't notice. Jason made the one big move that actually got them together.
who brings flowers home
Roy, but it doesn't count because Dinah owns a florist shop and he got them for free.
who is the best cook
I think fandom has a pretty definitive answer for this one. ;)

comics should place characterization first
me: people should stop openingly fantasising about jayroy shippers dying because they don't like roy's post-2011 characterisation, that's fucked up
you, apparently: actually it's fine to do that because sometimes the comics are bad
I say again, comics are an ongoing mediums and writers change. there are always going to be versions of your faves that you hate, and sometimes those are the ones that get carried forward into ongoing canon, and that's just the nature of the medium. it's not about good or bad characterisation, that's just a fact about all ongoing multi-author mediums.
if you can't handle that without wishing death on strangers, comics are not the hobby for you. watch movies, read novels, find fiction that has one author and one creative vision until you develope the emotional maturity to interact with people who like stuff you don't without slinging insults and ill wishing people!
#complaining about comics is the primary hobby of all comics nerds#we all do it all the time#but most of us manage to do it without suibaiting and sending death threats!#(i'm allowing myself one petty moment and it's to point out that arsenal also fucking kills people)#(I'm so sick of people saying roy would never be friends with jason because roy is a sweet good boy and jason is a killer)#(he shoots people with fucking guns! his name is arsenal! he had a fucking gun arm that one time!)#(you don't have to think they'd be friends but please stop pretending there's some kind of violent vigilante moral scale here)

Me: *ships something*
Someone: that’ll never be canon
Me(genuinely): I know, isn’t it great!
#I legitimately prefer exploring relationships in fanon#there’s a lot more creative room and often times romance takes away from the main plot (not always)#also then I can make everyone lgbt and it’s great#I almost never ship something bc I think it will be canon#tododeku#kiribaku#drarry#shinkami#boyf riends#tree bros#kleinsen#salvis#stucky#linny#momojirou#tsuocha#birdflash#dickwally#jayroy#joyfire

So like can the fandom not turn into a place of ship bashing? Also can people understand that people who like a ship or idea in comics are creative enough to handle parts that others think don't work. That bad execution is not a bad idea. And the characters are not static. For example, you can so easily write Roy's time in RHATO as a person recovering from extreme depression from the loss of a daughter. Also the idea that fans of anything haven't read a comic is just gatekeeping pure and simple.
See here’s the thing about fans fixing the issues with jayroy in canon: they don’t do it. I’ve read a large amount of jayroy fics, mostly because it’s the Jason ship in everything, but also because I wanted to see if fans were making it better than what it was. And they weren’t. Jayroy as a concept isn’t terrible, but the point is that nobody who likes Roy for who he has been for decades before his character was ruined in RHATO actually ships jayroy. This isn’t me making stuff up, it’s genuinely the truth. Everyone, or at least the vast majority, that ships jayroy was introduced to him through RHATO and then never read anything else.
I really don’t like gatekeeping, so I’m not saying you have to read every single Roy comic ever to be allowed to speak on this. However, you do need to have a basic understanding of Roy’s character pre-N52 to be able to argue without making it obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s like if someone who had only read Battle for the Cowl tried to argue that Jason’s character in that godawful comic was a reasonable interpretation of him to the point where it should be his main characterization. That’s what this is like to people who like Roy, not just one half of a ship where your priority is the other character exclusively (and I say this as a Jason stan).
I’m going to ignore the amount of content of jayroy raising Lian that I see (all of which conveniently leaves out Jade) to respond to you. Roy’s character in RHATO isn’t just off by a little, so we can’t just attempt to reason which aspect was impacted by what. Almost nothing about Roy resembles who he has been for decades. Lobdell wrote an OC, not Roy Harper. I’m not interested in getting a headache trying to figure out how Roy became someone unrecognizable when the answer is that he was used as a prop in RHATO. I can’t even get into every small thing about him that changed because what didn’t? That’s not development or the result of trauma, it’s complete character assassination because it’s a disservice to the character he is.

For some reason BirdFlash gives me the look like nerds but are actually jocks vibe while JayRoy are the look like jocks but are actually nerds vibe. TimKon is the classical jock + nerd and since this came to my mind I can't unsee
At first sight, birdflash gives off STRONG nerd vibes. wally’s actually known throughout the school for his science achievements, trophies, and awards. you don’t stand a chance against him in the science fair, don’t even try. and dick went to a fancy rich prep school where he scored some of their highest grades. just because he doesn’t like school doesn’t mean he isn’t good at it. and whenever they see each other in civvies, wally’s chattering on about this experiment he’s doing for fun and it seems like dick actually understands what he’s talking about, not just nodding along. and with a single visit to wally’s school, he revolutionized the tech department with a few careless suggestions. but really, that’s just their individual interests. wally might like science, but his entire life is running. he trains and trains, both with and without the speedforce. along with being trapped in that thing for years, wally’s pretty sure the reason he’s the fastest speedster is because of his strict track and cross-country training. and no matter what the circumstances, dick’s always happiest when he’s in the air. he possesses a natural athleticism that leaves others in awe along with skills finely honed to perfection for years that very few others could even hope to achieve. the two of them are long and lean and strong, and are in complete control over their bodies. they play different sports for fun, give each other leg warmers, socks, and water bottles for holidays, and go on early morning runs. the two of them are sports culture to the max (i actually made a post about that here)
now jayroy give off just the jock vibe, maybe even running into punk territory. first of all, lets get this out of the way: BICEPS. two of the biggest pairs of guns you’ll ever see, i swear. roy’s got a cocky smirk and he wears threadbare tank tops with dumb slogans on them and he never takes that trucker hat off. he makes his way into the basketball game going on at the courts on the bad side of town with a laugh. he squares up his fists for a fight any time there’s a hint of action. his nose is crooked from all the times its been broken and reset. not to mention his tattoos. and yes, roy loves lian with his entire heart and cares for her with everything he has, but that doesn’t change the fact that he was a teenager. now jason, jason just looks the part. he’s huge, and built like a goddamn brick wall. those muscles gotta be used for something, right? he’s always wearing those fingerless gloves, but his knuckles are constantly bruised anyway. you stop and take a double take anytime you see him when his lip isn’t split. almost everyone’s seen him with a gun. but he also spends his free time reading literary classics. his bookshelf is crammed full of old paperbacks, with everything from Frankenstein to Wuthering Heights to Farenheight 459 to The Importance of Being Earnest. The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy is a guilty pleasure of his. And he’s not just flipping through them either. no, he reads them. poking plot holes and other criticisms faster than a bullet. character analyzations sharper than his jawline. a lecture about the problem with many contemporary and modern novels longer than his dick. yea, jason devours those novels, and can tell you about all of them. as for roy, he’s inventive. always tinkering, always fiddling with a piece of tech, always creating. whether it be a new set of trick arrows or a coffee machine that spits out poison darts of a toaster that has 56 settings or a goddamn bazooka. he loves building stuff with his own two hands, a messy bun on his head, grease on his face, goggles shoved over his eyes as whatever he’s making sparks to life in his hands, bested only by the strike of pure creative passion in his eyes. textbook definition mechanic and geek, and we love him for it.
timkon is definitely the classic jock + nerd pairing. the only problem is that they always switch which is which. kon drapes his spiked leather jacket over tim’s shoulders when he’s cold, and later on at football games, tim cheers kon on wearing kon’s varsity jacket. but tim dropped out of high school because he has “better things to do” while kon just genuinely enjoys learning about stuff. kon does need help with his homework, so he calls tim, who always gives kon the math formulas he forgot the empirical formula of a compund that he doesn’t feel like calculating while simulaneously working on a couple other cases (he bounces his theories for a certain homicide off kon). but half of tim’s closet is made of sports jerseys for his favourite teams that he wears completely unironically even though they practically dwarf him, and he drags kon to all of their games while cheering and hollering, screaming at the tv when he can’t be there live,,,,and it’s not just one sport,,,,,nooo he’s got a good many he’s completely emotionally invested in. tim steals kon’s shirts so often that he just starts giving them to him, and dear god there’s almost nothing kon loves more than seeing tim wearing his clothes, looking tiny and misleadingly delicate and his. but tim carries around a skateboard and uses it practically 24/7, and one afternoon was spent teaching kon how to use the thing, including lots of laughing and falling over and steadying hands on waists, before a break at an ice cream parlour was followed by a sugary kiss. so yea, timkon is jock + nerd culture, with both of them being the jock and the nerd (also sorry anon i know you were thinking of kon being the jock and tim being the nerd, and honestly that’s how i usually view it too, its just this particular idea popped into my head and i had to write it) (also for timkon, i usually go for skate culture, and my hc for that is here)
ok wow this got a lot longer than i expected. i was shooting for a couple lines about my ships, and ended up with a whole new hc list instead. ooooof. tag list: @comicsandhoney @birdy-bat-writes @astroherogirl @anothertimdrakestan

2020 Creator Wrap
2020 Creator Wrap: Favorite Works
I was tagged by the oh so talented @irolltwenties!
Rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought to the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!
I’m not a particularly prolific writer (WIPs for days, but completed projects? Not so much). Somehow in this hell year though, I did manage to complete more fics than in any previous year for a total of seven new works (~49k words, all on ao3), plus a chunky chap of a long running WIP (~20k words) so I’m actually pretty damn proud of myself! I also made some new fandom friends in 2020 which has easily been one of the biggest delights of the year & has definitely helped my creative momentum, so ty all for that. <3
Counting down from 5, here are my favs:
5. Downtime
I have endless love for JayRoy and it felt so good to finally finish something for them for once this year! All of my past WIPs primarily focused on them ended up firmly in my graveyard folder, including the fic that this one shot was originally meant to be connected to. I liked the way this turned out well enough to clean it up and post it on its own though, so at least now I can say that I have something published for them at last.
(Also it got me back into the JayRoy headspace enough to outline a whole YJ/Earth16 JayRoy fic that I’m excited to start drafting in 2021, so we’ll see where that goes...)
2.3k NSFW; A mix of playful sweet and roughness, just like them.
4. Mirror Image
Bluepulse Week really saved me this year in terms of forcing me to just write, damn it! Did I finish all the prompts this year? Nope. Did it get me to complete a handful of fics that I ended up really loving? Yes. This was one of them.
This fic zoomed into existence entirely out of necessity as an alt idea to a prompt that I had a much longer idea for, but didn’t have time to complete. It then got a positive enough reception that I decided to turn it from a crack-adjacent, passable one-shot to a slightly more developed two-shot by request of one of my commenters. Really, it was writing that second chapter that ended up endearing the fic to me.
6.3k Humor, time travel shenanigans & accidental dating. This fic is the sweetness of teenage crushes, the confusing mess of discovering your sexuality, & laughter with your best friend.
3. Soft Wesper One Shots
Would you look at that, another nsfw piece. Could it be that I’m starting to get to the point where I can look back at completed nsfw fics without cringing terribly? Love that for me.
This fic took me by surprise, tbh. I wouldn’t consider myself a part of the grisaverse fandom (I’m utterly ambivalent toward the OG trilogy & have no plans to read them), but I did fall deeply in love with the whole Six of Crows gang earlier this year to the point of having quite the book hangover afterward, unable to pick up anything else except related fanfic for a couple weeks straight. These fluffy, nsfw scenes were born out of that, and I was pleasantly surprised to see such a positive response to them in the comments. The whole SoC gang has my heart, but the dynamic between Jesper and Wylan in particular got my writing fingers itching.
3.7k Domestic, post-canon fluff & tender sex with flirty Jesper & blushing Wylan abound.
2. Stick With Me
Ohh, I still get warm fuzzies thinking about this fic! If I’m only low-key proud of the first three on this list, this is one I’m legitimately very proud of. I had this idea on the docket already from a convo with @ivyxwrites early this year (or maybe last year? who knows, time means nothing anymore) but used Bluepulse Week as the excuse to finally get started, and I ended up adoring the process of writing it far more than I anticipated.
As much as I love planning out meticulously crafted, plotty stories, sometimes all you want to do is pick some well-loved tropes out of a hat instead and run with them (in this case: stuck in a cabin, only one bed, & heated argument leading to confession). It was freeing to just mess around and have fun with this fic, knowing pretty much right from the get-go how I wanted it to unfold and seeing it so vividly in my mind. It also probably helped that I was writing it for Ivy; it’s much easier for me to stay motivated when creating directly for my friends.
Finishing this was also such a serotonin-filled burst of pure victory for me since, as previously stated, I’m terrible at finishing projects--particularly multi-chap fics, particularly within a decent timeframe.
25.5k A showcase of the essence of what I love about the best friends-to-lovers dynamic. Part character study, part wires getting crossed & uncrossed, and whole idiots to lovers. This fic is the warmth in the pit of your stomach from a yearning made real & the sudden clarity of realizing what you were looking for had already been there all along.
1. The Rest Pt 1: Delicate (Remember Me Chap 4)
Oh, Remember Me. Of everything I’ve ever written, this story remains the one I’m most proud of and certainly the closest to my heart (not to mention the longest running, whoops). The first iteration of the beginning of this story was actually drafted back in 2017, but I walked away from it for a couple of years before deciding to dust it off and try again. It has spiraled into something far bigger in scope than I originally planned for, but I’ve come to love the path it’s led me down so far, and finishing this whopping 20k chunkster of a chapter was like breathing a huge (if temporary) sigh of relief.
This chap was particularly cathartic to write because it allowed for a number of convos between the boys that had really needed to happen, and was finally the ‘getting together’ moment the fic had been building toward for a while. It’s also so sappy I could die, but I will not be apologizing for that, lol. I was really hoping to get Chap 5 up this year as well, but y’know. Sometimes things just don’t work out like you plan for and that’s okay.
Chap 5 does have 17k done already (with prob another 5-8k still to go) & I’m itching to share it, but no sense in rushing if the end result would suffer for it. Luckily, everyone in comments has been kind enough to beat me over the head with ‘take your time, we don’t mind/we’ll still be here!!!’ which I’m immensely grateful for. So, at least the pressure to hurry up and get it done is purely self-inflicted.
Of all my works, this fic has not only gotten the most passionate responses, but has also been the main gateway for me to interact with other bluepulse creators, which has been a real joy. Nothing brightens my day like the essays people leave me over there from time to time after discovering the fic. That kind of engagement is the highest praise, & responding is very self indulgent fun for me (bc, clearly, I could go on and on about this fic & YJ in general forever).
54.8k total so far (WIP). Bart & Jaime’s relationship journey from beginning to ‘current day’ (aka the moment the fic begins), using amnesia/memory restoration as a framing device. The high highs and low lows of first love, navigating a 3 yr age difference, and the long, winding road from best friends to lovers as the years roll on. Slow-burn-adjacent (in terms of both the boys’ relationship to each other and reader’s relationship to the fic bc of how long I take between goddamn updates).
Tagging @ivyxwrites, @incorrectbatfam, @paintingwithdarkness, @bluepulsebluepulse

Random story I’m going to try to write
I call it: No Capes Outlaws as Actual High School Teahers AU (with a side of Jayroy).
Roy
Roy is the AP/Honors (depending on where you’re from in the country) engeninering, mechanics and physics (1&2) teacher. His scedule every day would go: Prep Hour, Physics 1, Physics 2, PreAP/Introduction to Physics, Mechanics (first block), Mechanics (second block), Lunch, Enenering.
He is the supervisor of the science club on Mondays and Fridays, and engerninering work shop on Tuesday.
The reason he requested his Prep Hour to be in the morning is that he needs to make sure Lian gets to her daycare all right and on time.
Students love him because he is goofy and makes them smile during classes, but also very obviously cares about them. He is open about his past with substance abuse and his recovery story, as well as growing up on a reservation until he was a teenager. He gets them and how hard it is growing up in our modern world, and that means so much to them.
Kori
A warm hearted but fierce woman who came from a foreign country to teach her country’s language, culture and history to young American high school students.
She’s not familiar with lingo and many American customs, and immensely enjoys getting to learn from her students as they learn from her.
Stands strong in fighting for what you believe in and for seeing the goodness in people around you. That doesn’t mean stand by as people treat you unfairly and only reapond with kindness, it means to know how to love and respect yourself first and know how to pick your battles.
Sometimes manages to convince the principal to let her bring in her exotic pet from her home country to spend time with the class.
Acting counselor for any and all foreign exchange students.
She takes her Prep Hour during fourth period.
Artemis
The cool Egyptian PE teacher who everyone honestly love.
The students are very shocked when they realize that their awesome Coach is distantly related to Coach Diana from middle school. It gives them whiplash at first, but then they look closer and immediately start to see the similarities.
Unknowingly (but also slightly knowingly) became these young high school girls’ idea of what a strong woman looks like not only physically but mentally. She loves giving the girls advice and counciling and pretending she doesn’t notice just how much they love her.
You name the sport, she coaches or co-coaches it.
Instead of taking a Prep Hour, she fills in for a class period upstairs in the sports med class.
Bizzaro
A teacher’s aid who is on the autism spectrum.
Usually jumps between Artemis and Jason’s classes, but sometimes he likes to just hangout alone in the PAC alone to get some of his studies done (and secretly watch the dance classes when they practice on stage, he just finds them really pretty).
He looks intimidating at first sight, but the students are very quick to warm up to him.
Carries Pup Pup with him at all times. Sometimes Jason or Roy will spray it with their cologne or Kory or Artemis with their perfume. They know how happy the familiar smells make him, and any time they notice the most resent spray has worn off, the one who notices will spray it again (which means Pup Pup usually smells like Jason, but Biz doesn’t mind).
He graduated high school at a very young age due to his intellect. On his last day of school, while his much older peers were on their last day of first semester, he went to Jason. All he had to say was that he was scared to go home. Jason very quickly had CPS on Lex, and gained legal custody of Biz by the end of winter break.
Jason (I save the most fleshed out for last)
Did a double major and a minor while in university (his family still don’t know how he did it), majoring in English Literature and Psychology with a minor in theater. He acted as a “long term sub” (a title the had to legally give him for the time being) as an AP/Honors Lit teacher at the school while he finished up with his teaching degree.
After two years of teaching AP Lit and AP English, he decided it was to mentally taxing on him to see how miserable his students were and decided to leave those classes in better hands. He now teaches Creative Writing 1&2 and all of the drama classes. His daily schedule is: Creative Writing 1&2 (they have to share a class period to have enough students to make the bar for minimum class population) Drama 1, Drama 2, Stage Craft, Lunch, Prep Hour, Screen play/script writing, improv.
He had his Prep Hour during the second lunch block so that students from both lunches have access to his classroom. They can get tutoring help, emotional support, or just a safe and quiet place to eat their lunch in.
Basically runs the entire theater department alone. He manages to pick the plays/musicals every year, get the script orders in place, order the costumes and props, get the supplies for making the backdrops and still somehow has enough money from the school budget left over to throw the cast good parties. The students call it budgeting magic.
Over his years of teaching, he’s been gradually collecting more and more literature and psychology degrees from online universities (his schooling is all he spends his trust fund on. His father finds it baffling that he would rather collect degrees he may never use instead of getting a home better than his crappy apartment he lives in off his paychecks from the school or an actual car)
All of the students who have never had him as a teacher think he’s cool because he rides a motorcycle and wears leather jackets. His drama and writing students know better. They know he’s a total dork.
The teacher the kids know they can go to with home life issues. Through the grapevine, the student know he was abused early in his childhood and was homeless for a while before being taken in by Bruce Wayne. They know they can trust him with anything, because he understands better that anyone what it’s like to be in their place.
The Students!
The generation outlaws, Vessel, Sasha, Tim and his Young Justice team, Damian, Jon, Rachel, Gar, a few other assorted kids.
They all realized Mr. Harper and Mr. Todd had a crush on each other before they did.
They ship it, a lot, and try a lot of crazy schemes to get them together that always fail. The schemes only get more elaborate as they go.
“Can Coach Artemis adopt me?”
“Hey Mr. Harper, adopt me?”
“Ms. Anders can I adopt you as a mom?”
“How long do you think it will take Mr. Todd to adopt him?” “Dude, Damian is his brother.” “That doesn’t change a thing.”
They trust their teachers with their lives and would protect their teachers with their lives.
That’s all I got for now, I might add more later.

Ik you already did jayroy but jayroykyle 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 pls
who hogs the duvet
This is a vicious war between Jason and Kyle. Jason has brute strength even while sleeping but Kyle has a Green Lantern ring, also while sleeping, he should probably stop using it unconsciously because it has caused PROBLEMS. Also the duvet is Roy.
who texts/rings to check how their day is going
Roy and Kyle, incessantly. Jason is like "UGH take me out of the group chat" but then they do and he sulks.
who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts
Kyle (for Roy only).
who gets up first in the morning
Roy.
who suggests new things in bed
Roy and Kyle, Jason is going to have a heart attack.
who cries at movies
Kyle.
who gives unprompted massages
Kyle is still Back Rub Dude but it doesn't work nearly as well on Jason and Roy as it does on Guy because they actually need, like, serious therapeutic massages and his little artist fingers are too weak. I mean, Roy will still fuck him, but.
who fusses over the other when they’re sick
Jason, angrily thrusting homemade soup at Kyle and checking the temperature of his fevered brow. "This doesn't mean I like you." "We're sleeping together." "That doesn't mean I like you, either."
who gets jealous easiest
Still Jason, which isn't...great when you're in a throuple.
who has the most embarrassing taste in music
Still Kyle.
who collects something unusual
Still probably Roy and his weapons.
who takes the longest to get ready
Kyle.
who is the most tidy and organised
Jason.
who gets most excited about the holidays
Kyle.
who is the big spoon/little spoon
Kyle is most likely to be a little spoon and Jason is most likely to be a big spoon but it generally ends up just kind of a tangled mess.
who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports
ALL OF THEM. They are idiots.
who starts the most arguments
Jason and Kyle, but Roy is only marginally better.
who suggests that they buy a pet
Kyle, who lives in space 70% of the year and won't have to clean up after it.
what couple traditions they have
Bickering...?
what tv shows they watch together
I continue to be bad at this question. Kyle comes back from space and tries to catch up on shows that he likes and Jason immediately and gleefully spoils the season finale. Then Roy has to distract everyone with blowjobs.
what other couple they hang out with
No one can tolerate them. Sometimes Wally stares at them in mute horror.
how they spend time together as a couple
Fucking or arguing, or fucking while arguing.
who made the first move
I feel like Roy is most likely to have been dating one of them and suggest bringing the other in, but honestly there's a lot of options here.
who brings flowers home
Roy still gets free flowers from Dinah, so Roy. Kyle brought home space flowers once but they had sex pollen on them. It actually worked out great.
who is the best cook
Still Jason, who doesn't get enough credit for saving Kyle from scurvy.

Now onto one of the many gremlins of GUG. @definitelynotstephaniebrown @jasonsbestfriend / @craigdavidofficial / @hyperfixartion-to-hyperfixation Cai, not only are you trying to be beat me out for most blogs in this AU, you are incredible. You are a chaotic gremlin and I love you for it. You are so sincere and talking to you will never fail to cause me to smile. You are beyond creative and the invention of Fake Gotham is genius! Everything you do is superb - even if you post cursed content into MFA or @ me into chaotic nightmares. Never change because you are perfect as you are! I mean it with every ounce of my being! Also be thankful because this was almost formatted like a dude bro post in honour of JayRoy.
