wait fuck steddie as superbat works so well
i mentioned this a while back but i started thinking about it again so
first we have stevie harrington, billionaire playboy douche bag by day and batman- the allusive protector of gotham with a penchant for adopting kids- by night
then we have eddie kent, small town farm boy turned big city reporter who also happens to be the alien superhero of metropolis, superman
nancy is lois lane, joyce is alfred, wayne is pa kent, robin is diana prince (wonder woman), jonathan is jimmy olsen, hopper is jim gordon, chrissy is kara zor-el (supergirl)
the party are the batkids, doesn’t really matter who’s who (but dustin is definitely tim, max is definitely steph, and el is definitely cass)
backstory:
thomas and martha harrington are killed, leaving behind a son- steven harrington. from there the boy is raised by his maid, joyce pennyworth. over time he perfects a false persona (stevie) to hide behind, and trains to avenge his parents and his city.
eddie lands in wayne kent’s farm and is brought up in a humble life. he helps around the farm and around town, learning some basic handyman/mechanic skills. smallsville is a town where everyone knows everyone, it’s a very tight-knit community, and everyone loves wayne and eddie (eddie specifically as the charming, helpful, more honest part of himself).
when eddie moves to metropolis things are very different. because he’s a small town farm boy, his coworkers at the daily planet are condescending and oftentimes rude. that is, of course, except for jonathan byers and nancy wheeler, his closest friends. the more eddie learns about the state of metropolis and the surplus of supervillains, the more he is convinced he has to do something to help. cue superman emerging.
superman agrees to an interview with nancy, because she’s the only reporter he trusts, but it ends up backfiring because nancy almost immediately realizes it’s eddie. she swears to secrecy, but only if he lets her help, and eddie can’t really say no to her (she’s scary). she is the one who comes up with the ‘clumsy dork eddie kent’ persona, and she covers for him when he has to leave work.
we all know the media is very distrustful of superman at first, especially when they learn he is an alien, and it takes a lot of effort on nancy’s part to convince them otherwise.
anyway, flash forward a few years and eddie is assigned to interview steven harrington while attending one of his galas. eddie has heard a lot of (mostly bad) things about “stevie” harrington, so he’s not the happiest about it. only, when eddie spots him across the crowd, the man is already staring at him, assessing with a cold gaze. when their eyes meet, the brunet blinks before tilting his head a fraction, towards a hallway leading deeper into the manor. without seeing eddie’s response, he walks off in that direction.
eddie, the diligent reporter he is, immediately follows. he slips away from the crowd and into the hall, shutting the door behind him and looking around. steven harrington is leaning against the wall opposite him, eyeing him curiously. eddie almost feels pinned to spot under the other man’s gaze.
“you’re new,” he says, and it’s not really a question. eddie answers anyway.
“yes. i’m, uh, here for the daily planet actually,” he says, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. eddie thinks this is probably the richest person he’s ever spoken to, and tries not to show it. something must give him away though, because harrington flashes a playful smirk and steps forward, into eddie’s space.
“oh, really?” he asks, saccharine-sweet, his voice dripping with honey as he readjusts eddie’s askew tie, his hands lingering on eddie’s chest. eddie swallows and wonders how he got here, breath catching as harrington cups his face with a hand and traces a thumb over his bottom lip. and then it doesn’t really matter because harrington is pushing him against the wall with a surprising amount of strength (don’t think about it don’t think about it) and kissing eddie like he’s desperate.
eddie can’t help but get caught in the other man’s intensity, pulling harringtons hips forward and relishing the quiet little noise he makes. eddie nearly whimpers when harrington bites down hard on his lip, which only drives the other man to loosen eddie’s tie and unbutton the top of his shirt, smirking when eddie jumps at the feeling of lips and teeth and tongue against his neck. harrington lets out a happy hum when eddie groans and tilts his head back to give the other man better access. eddie’s grip on harringtons hips loosen and, while it seems like he misses the touch, he definitely appreciates eddie grabbing his ass if the sound he makes is anything to go by.
seemingly taking that gesture as a challenge, harrington, to eddie’s confusion, grips the underside of his thighs. and then. and he then lifts eddie up against the wall. eddie thinks- no, he knows- that it’s the hottest thing he’s ever seen and/or experienced (which isn’t much, but seriously, what the fuck!). eddie knows he lets out an embarrassing noise solely because of the proud look on harrington’s face. but then he’s kissing eddie again, bruising and needy, and eddie thinks he forgives him.
of course, that’s when the hallway door slams open to reveal three teenagers.
“shit,” harrington mumbles under his breath, though eddie thinks he’d be able to hear it even without his super-hearing. steve lets eddie down, righting him before he trips over himself, and sighs defeatedly before pressing a card into eddie’s hand and a kiss to his cheek.
“sorry, sweetheart. call me sometime, will you?” he whispers before turning around like he’s heading to the gallows, facing the teenagers.
“really, steve?” a curly-haired boy asks, looking eddie up and down with a raised eyebrow. he tries not to feel insulted. (it doesn’t work).
a redhead punches the boy in the arm and looks at eddie, then steve, then eddie again and lets out a low whistle.
“jeez steve, it looks like he was attacked by a rabid bat,” she snickers, and eddie flushes bright red. steve lets out a sarcastic huff at the comment before grabbing the two teens by their scruffs and ushering them back through the doorway, telling the other girl to show him the way out and winking at eddie before disappearing.
the girl, whose hair seems to just be growing out from a buzzcut, gives him a small genuine smile and tugs his sleeve to get eddie to follow her. they wind their way through the shadowed empty halls until they somehow arrive at the front door. the girl opens it but tugs at his sleeve again before he steps out. he looks at her and she seems to find the right words in her head before saying, “you are good for him. call,” and giving him maybe-but-probably-not-accidental puppy dog eyes. eddie can’t help but smile and huff a laugh.
“don’t worry, he won’t get rid of me that easy.”

Bitches will be like “my ship just got confirmed” and then show you a single low-res frame of ambiguous origin where the characters walk out of a room together. It’s me. I am bitches.

I don’t know about you but i know i’m seriously fucked when i see characters interacting and they hit jackpot of almost every, if not all, kinds of dynamics where:
“i have strong feelings toward you but i know once i am able to touch and hold you i won’t know what i should do with these hands when you’re away”
the sun and the moon
the moon and the sea
the sun and the well-loved, dying sunflower
“i’d do anything for you” | “then live for me / live with me”
“i’d kill/die for you. say the word and i’ll do it in a heartbeat” | “no”
“i don’t know where else to go to” | (visibly angry) “who did this to you?”
[in life or death situation] “are you okay? are you hurt?” | “i should be the one asking you that! you’re the one who took the fall for me / who’s bleeding to protect me!”
Basically the all-powerful and capable, and their absolute weakness (still in denial sometimes)
the “what you did is very wrong but everyone deserves a second chance” and the “you’re lucky i took an oath to them (specifically) to not end you / make your life a living nightmare”
“please hesitate” | “i won’t hesitate ever”
the "i am not asking for your permission, don’t come with me” self-sacrificing and reckless dumbass, and their “someone has to watch your back while you’re being stupid. someone more clever and probably in the brink of having a heart attack the moment you take step out there: me”
“everyone looks up to them” | “hard not to when they’re that tall/big tbh”
the brat and the brat-tamer who probably has stiff joints and is grumpy or calmer than the brat most the time

steddie as superbat pt 2
the first time batman and superman meet is, of course, not under great circumstances.
thugs from metropolis were smuggling stolen goods to gotham for some deal with another group, and eddie was tracking them from above.
he wasn’t particularly fond of gotham, or new jersey in general (though the bagels were heavenly), and a cold dark night at the harbor (where the deal was talking place) certainly didn’t help.
eddie is sitting on a building just out of view, watching the deal with his x-ray vision when it happens.
although eddie can’t hear anything, he suddenly feels a presence at his back and tenses up, ready for a fight. before he can even get up, though, the figure is moving and eddie somehow ends on his back away from the edge of the building. with what appears to be a sentient, corporeal shadow straddling his hips and glaring down at him. (eddie absolutely does not find this hot. at all.)
though eddie can easily break free of the grip holding down his arms, he decides to wait and see what this person has to say.
in an obviously modulated voice, the shadow says “why are you in gotham?” and nothing else. eddie blinks up at them, thrown by the question.
“uh… some metropolis criminals are transporting stolen goods to this port,” eddie replies. the shadow tilts their head as if studying him before declaring, “you’re superman,” in a surprised tone.
“yup,” eddie’s answers, popping the ‘p’. the shadow lets go of eddie’s arms and leans back onto their haunches (though still on top of eddie) seemingly debating something before rising and offering eddie a hand.
“i’m batman,” the shadow replies once eddie is on his feet again. at the statement eddie finally notices the bat ears on the cowl and the bat symbol on the other’s chest. offering a playful smile eddie jokes, “i guess we’re not the type to come up with creative names, huh.”
batman stares blankly at eddie before saying “i spent hours coming up with that,” his mouth a thin line. eddie freezes, awkward and unsure before offering, “i like it, though! i mean, it sounds really cool. plus, actually, bats are my favorite animal so…” he trails off, hands gesturing awkwardly.
but then batman cracks a small smile and eddie’s heart stutters in his chest and oh no, that’s not good. but he can think about that later because right now batman is digging into his utility belt and handing eddie a small device.
“it’s a communicator. if you ever need an extra pair of hands or information you don’t have access to, i’d be happy to help.”
and with that batman aims his grappling hook, shoots, and swings down to the deal taking place. eddie briefly wonders if he should help, but when he looks over and sees a large portion of the men already taken out, he decides batman will be fine without him.

so i like two ship dynamics:
1- one of them is a loser, they are a pathetic excuse for a human being. the other is more of a loser somehow
2- the power couple and by that i mean when they are together they will blow the world up and when they are separated they will also blow the world up, unhinged, do not engage

Tropetember 2023!!
Heyia guys, this is the mods of Tropetember. As we’re working on this year’s list, we wanted to let you know that we are planning something a little bit different for this year’s event.
As always, we’ll have the main trope list with as many tropes as we could think about, keeping it close to the last couple of years.
However! We are also preparing an optional ‘Hard Mode’ list with much more specific prompts to help get those creative juices flowing. We hope you have as much fun with it as we’ve had thinking them up!
Same as last year, and as we’ll add to the Rules post, every prompt is optional and this year you even have the option to combine both lists!
