It's Day Three of the Write Here, WriteNow LoveFest, and we've got Drew Duncan and her MM Single Dad Romance BECAUSE ITS ALWAYS YOU.

Because It's Always You by Drew Duncan books2read.com/biay

Chris Cooper was the last person Andy Reece expected to bump into, but the universe had plans for them.

Andy Reece’s luck with love is non-existent. In his teen years the love of his life had inexplicably walked away. In his adult years, his now ex husband ultimately hadn’t wanted the same things. Now he’s doing things his way, on his terms.

Chris Cooper thought he was doing the right thing by leaving his teenage boyfriend behind to try and make something of himself. A decision he puts down as the biggest regret of his life. Now guardian to his baby niece, he’s reminded just how short life can be, so when chance has him bumping into Andy years later, he fully intends to correct the mistakes of his youth.

As Andy’s plans for his future come to fruition, Chris’s actions leave Andy wondering if he can he trusted, especially when Andy finds out Chris has been keeping secrets from him again.

Can fate find a way to keep these soul mates together, or are they destined to repeat the mistakes of youth and lose each other all over again? •••• Because It's Always You is a standalone in the MM Single Dad Romance Series 'Just Because'. It's a second chance gay romance set in England (UK) with a side of humour, steamy sex, and a cute kid thrown in.

What bothers me the most about these "I've never read the source material" #feminist #queer retellings is that retellings are, at the bare minimum, in conversation with a source material. This is true whether or not you have actually read the story you are attempting to retell. Refusing to read the source just means your conversation is now one-sided, which is detrimental to any hope of furthering the discussion or themes or narrative. So now you've interrupted a conversation with an aside that ultimately adds nothing because it doesn't know enough about what was said previously to be able to respond or build upon it. And I just...don't get it! Why would you want to tell a story that way? Why would you decide to put an addition onto a house without looking at the architectural blueprints?

#me surrounded by my 20 copies of the oresteia w various translations before sitting down to write the elektra complex: im going to strangle #that 'sapphic odyssey' woman w my bare hands #tcp #im not trying to say u HAVE to do what i did to write a retelling btw but like. why would u not want to at least read the baseline #an open window #this also isnt to say that a writer who's read the source can't write a bad retelling. i know mm and ms saint both read their sources...

This quick sketch came to me after reading the very good fic of @/KaedeRavensdale (on twitter) "Holding Fire, Clutching Flame" (take care, spoilers in the resume !)

I'm so thankful to all the all the writers here giving me my dose of Cid and Clive, you can't even imagine !

Health and Hybrids (XVI)👽👻💚

[I can't remember the original prompt posters for the life of me but here's a mashup between a cryptid!Danny, presumed-alien!Danny, dp x dc, and the prompt made the one body horror meat grinder fic.]

PART ONE is here PART TWOis here PART THREE is here PART FOUR is here and PART FIVE is here PART SIX is here and PART SEVEN is here PART EIGHT is here PART NINE is here PART TEN is here PART ELEVEN is here PART TWELVE is here PART THIRTEEN is here PART FOURTEEN is here PART FIFTEEN is here and this is sixteen *SixTeen theme plays*

💚 Ao3 Is here for all parts

Where we last left off... Martian Manhunter finds out that,yeah, dude, when your brain is missing chunks, you can't write or access data without the hardware to store it. My dude remembers nothing.

Trigger warnings for this story: body horror | gore | post-dissection fic | dehumanization (probably) | my nonexistent attempts at following DC canon. On with the show.

💚👻👽👻💚

Days pass. Nights pass.

(He thinks.)

He gets a new room. This one has a window. He can’t stare at it all the time, but when he does, he can feel himself growing stronger. Steadier. The change in his body is borderline tangible.

If only it was physical. He’s still too weak to lift anything but his arms, and not even all the way. Moving his head is tiring. Lifting his head is impossible.

But he tries.

A lot.

The doctors and the lady have to make upset noises with him when he does, but he wants to be able to see everything they’re doing to him. So far it’s a lot of tubes and needles, but what if they become scalpels and clamps?

…Danny tries to assure himself that they probably won’t be.

But they might. Things could change.

And that eats at him constantly.

Someone puts a big circle on the wall in his room. It’s large. It’s a little fuzzy at its distance on the far wall, but it’s got little arms on it, and little dots in equal degrees around the circumference. It takes him almost two napping periods to realize that it’s a clock.

Danny squints. He can...almost read analog. (Probably.) It sure doesn’t help that he has no idea when night is and when day is, though. He sleeps at one hour and wakes up at another, and the room will look entirely the same. Was it a few hours’ sleep, or a day’s? Was it longer? The world spins outside his window, big and blue, and he spins against it in a station on a lonely moon. There’s no way to tell.

Someone eventually notices that he’s bored, though, because he gets a television and a remote.

It’s a super thin television. At first, Danny spends time wondering why they put a screen with no system in his room, and then hour later the lady starts pressing buttons on the remote, and the screen lights up with a news program.

…The TV is too far away to see all that clearly. He can see some of it when he squints, but then all the colors turn lime green.

The banner on the bottom of the screen scrolls with headlines, and cool, it looks like they invented new letters while Danny was asleep. Fantastic. His head hurts from trying to squint to read, but it kind of looks like a kindergartener scribbled all over an otherwise serious news report.

Great. Now he’s getting a headache.

But the noise is…nice. It’s distracting. The news anchors chatter seriously as Danny gets yet another IV swapped out in his arm, and the heavily geared-up doctors have started telling Danny things he doesn’t like to listen to too much because if it is threats, great, he should ignore that; if it’s not threats, then, well, Danny’s bored of it all anyway.

“—Wel?”

Danny blinks. Well. That sounds like ‘Well’.

He shifts just enough to make eye contact. A doctor looks down at him from their place at his bedside. Their scrubs are kind of blue-green, with little flowers on the trim.

They have human eyes. The sight of soft, brown eyes probably ought to be reassuring, but they just make Danny more nervous.

“Eow eart wel?” They ask again, soft and slow. That middle bit sounds kind of like ‘art’. Ha. Old timey Shakespeare. ‘Art well,’ like ‘you art well—‘

Wait. Danny takes a deep breath. Blinks. His chest arcs up, just a little—just enough for the doctor to realize that Danny’s more than just looking, he’s paying attention. Are they asking him if he’s well?

Danny reflexively opens his mouth and flexes his throat, tries to answer—

Nope. Ow. The noise he makes sounds like the garbage disposal is backed up with angry blob ghosts. It hurts just to make. But the sound makes the doctor look at him; they see him.

“Inne cwic tima!” Danny hears, and then they’re jogging out of the room, and Danny is left alone. His throat hurts.

His head thumps back onto his pillow. The news program plays on. There’s a damaged city he’s never seen before on the news.

…And then the doctor comes back. Danny’s head is swimming, so he almost doesn’t notice their return, but they’re holding something, and that something has a sippy straw.

Danny is perfectly happy with a sippy straw.

The straw is put into his mouth. Danny goes sippy sippy.

…The water sloshes a little weirdly through his throat. Some of his tubes might not be where they ought to be, which is weird. Isn’t he supposed to be human right now? Or. Uh. Kind of human? Human equivalent? …Close enough…?

Danny drinks. When the pain in his throat goes to normal pain levels instead of new and angry pain levels, he lets go of the straw, and the doctor lets him.

Their fingers carefully brush Danny’s hair. Not very hard. A little too slowly. Just at the hairline. But it reminds Danny so much of sitting at home with Dad on the couch, home from school with a fever as Muppets tapes play in the background, that tears leak out of his busted eyes. The tears are probably just as green.

“Eow eart wel?” the doctor asks again. So gently. So careful.

“I’m tired,” Danny rasps.

The effort of speaking crashes into him in seconds. If things are happening around him, he doesn’t understand any of it. Nothing reaches him. He’s so tired.

He’s out before he knows it.

#Martian Manhunter: he's bored. Give the boy a television #Medical: :0 Sir yes sir!!#Medical when they hear Danny: HE SPEAKS!!! :D #Medical when they realize they can't understand him: OH NO!!! D: MM COME BACK PLEASE #health and hybrids #dp x dc #danny phantom #dpxdc #dcxdp #tw gore #tw medical #tw body horror #dcu crossover #Danny realizing he didn't know how to read analog even when he was well: shit. >:(

hi! i love your dc stuff, and i noticed that you're a fan of martian manhunter. recently, i finished martian manhunter (1988), and ever since then i've been wanting to read more of him & get to know him better as a character. do you know any good j'onn comics you'd rec?

YES! And Martian Manhunter 1988 is fantastic to start off. I've made a list of my favorite Martian Manhunter stories before which I still agree with! I'll just add a few additions I've recently enjoyed:

Lazarus Planet: Once We Were Gods #1- Songs of Pain (written by Dan Watters and art by Max Dunbar)

A bittersweet short story. I love how this one showcases J'onn empathetic ability and even goes so far as to contrast his senses with Superman. The art is really pretty.

2. Final Crisis: Requiem (written by Peter Tomasi and art by Doug Mahnke)

J'onn's died many times in DC canon, but this one is the most brutal and emotionally impactful sendoff he's ever gotten. It's a great tribute to his history as a character.

As for getting to know J'onn, the character, more: the John Ostrander (+ Tom Mandrake as the artist) run is considered definitive by fans. I'm not the biggest fan of the writing and especially the art, but that run is where you get the most detailed J'onn origin story and a lot of what defined him.

I can also recommend Martian Manhunter 2006: The Others Among Us (written by AJ Lieberman with art by Al Barrionuevo). In this story J'onn finds a group of green martians and does whatever he can to protect them and discover the mystery of why they're here. The writing's okay and the art is fine. It just plays into characterizations I feel hold J'onn back from growing as a character.

If you want to read a really good Martian Manhunter one shot- I highly recommend Sons of Mars by the Wibowos! It's a reimagining of the Martian Manhunter origin with his brother Ma'alefa'ak, and it reinvents a lot of Martian lore in a new refreshing way while still paying homage to its history!

It's so weird how you can't find prints of this comic! Lucky for us, the whole story has been stored on tumblr.

Happy reading!!

#askjesncin #martian manhunter #dc comics #for legal reasons that last one is a fancomic by me BUT HEY it's good lemme toot my own horn #i've read other MM comics too but like. I recommend them with many “but here's what I don't agree about this run-”
