So, the Sunlit Gotham Sequel (TBN) is officially underway in terms of planning/writing. I'm hoping to start officially posting in March, giving me some time to get a good handful of chapters done ahead of time so I'm not dedicating all of my free time to writing a chapter a week while posting (again)
That being said, I'm gonna be having some Twitter Thread convos in the first chapter (and maybe some later chapters - idk on that one) but I am apparently struggling hard with coming up with usernames/handles for it (keep reading below the line if you're interested in helping out)
I need help with handles (and maybe comments) for people who are:
Pro-Wayne's
Anti-Wayne's (or jaded towards the Wayne's)
Highschoolers from Sky's old school who would have made memes about a random kid from their school getting adopted by Bruce AND random Gotham Academy kids who would also be tweeting about it
People who are Pro-Meta/Demigods
People who are Anti-Meta/Demigods
People who are jerks online and don't really respect the privacy of celebs (if you've read certain MiraculousXBatfam fics where social media goes wild about Marinette maybe being a Wayne then you know the vibe I'm looking for with these people)
And finally, people who don't like the above category of people and come to the defense of the Wayne's/Kent's/Richardson's
So I guess if anyone has any suggestions and/or would like a cameo in Sunlit Gotham feel free to comment on this post or message me!
ALSO MEMES!!!! I will definitely take any memes you think people in Gotham would be making with a New Vigilante, New Wayne Kids, Bruce and Selina being engaged, and the fact that Mythological Stuff is real
(Please keep in mind that I cannot guarantee every name/comment will be used as I'm not fully sure how the convos will turn out yet, but I'll make sure to credit everyone who helps out no matter what)

Was wondering why I felt sad today then I remembered that there’s not a chapter this week for @sunlitgotham 😭
Sunlit Gotham is an amazing Percy Jackson x BatFam fic. It’s over now, but you should definitely go read it! I looked forward every Thursday waking up and reading the update.

2023 reading list: Under the Red Hood (2005)
“That is a father’s greatest triumph… To have a son surpass his own excellence.”
(ID under the cut.)
ID: Six edits of panels from Under the Red Hood, five of which are animated.
Batman and Nightwing swing on grappling hooks over a nighttime city skyline. Animation rolls through three speech bubbles. Dick: "Good god, he made a joke." / Bruce: "Be quiet." / Dick: "Yes, sir."
2. Batman stands on a roof in front of a sunlit cityscape. He reaches a hand out for Jason, who is suspended mid-air. First, Jason is dressed in his Red Hood costume, but the gif changes to show him as a young Robin.
3. A young Jason, in front of a purple background smeared with red, looks off to the side of the screen. Words behind him read, "He took me away from you," repeated multiple times. The words light up in order, highlighting the sentence.
4. Jason, in his Red Hood costume, perfectly executes a flip from one rooftop to the next. The gif rotates through three poses as he jumps.
5. A still image of Jason in his Red Hood costume. His body is turned slightly to the side, but he looks directly at the camera. He stands in front of a Gotham city scape in blues and purples. He has a faint shadow stretching over the buildings.
6. Bruce holds a bloody younger Jason in his hands. Animated text of the Joker's laughter flashes over the screen.
/End ID.

REVENGE
Notes: This is part three of chapter two. If you're just stumbling across this, and haven't already done so, please stop and start by reading part one of chapter one.
I'm posting the first few parts of each chapter here on Tumblr, and then wrapping up with the full chapter on Ao3 in week three. I'll try to post something every Friday (so far, so good!).
This is a #Batwoman AU based on the ABC tv series #Revenge. I was intrigued by the character parallels, and I decided to reimagine a world where Ryan Wilder has a more intentional pursuit of vengeance.
CHAPTER TWO - TRUST (Part Three)
Summary: Robyn Wilde continues her plot to take down Gotham's most elite lawyer and favorite Clue Master, who was the assistant district attorney and federal prosecutor in her case when she was a young Ryan Wilder.
13 HOURS BEFORE THE LEAK
Ryan and Stephanie had shared a plate of fries and had one more drink together before they’d parted ways the night before. Stephanie told Ryan that one reason she wasn’t sure working for her father was the best choice was that he was always on, and she didn't really want to be a leader in a company that didn’t take great care of their employees. She realized this wasn’t completely abnormal for law firms, but she could run the finances for an employer that understood the value of (and cost of poorly prioritized) human capital. She also hinted at not loving how her father’s firm was earning all of its revenue. She clearly didn’t want to say much, but Ryan was already versed in Arther Brown’s dealings.
13 YEARS AGO, GOTHAM CITY COURTHOUSE
Ryan sat in the stuffy, sunlit courtroom, next to her public defender and watched as the drained, somewhat rumpled lawyer doodled on her legal pad. She’d just finished delivering her closing arguments, which basically consisted of describing Ryan as a disadvantaged, underprivileged youth, and weakly pleading with the jury to not add another Black kid to Gotham’s overcrowded with kids of color detention center when she should be given a second chance. Clearly, her lawyer didn’t believe she was innocent, but she rattled off some statistics that she’d bucketed Ryan into, and spoke to a jury that didn’t represent Ryan’s peers about a topic that didn’t concern them.
There seemed to be no shortage of people Ryan didn’t know sitting behind the other lawyer. At one point or another they or their children had taken the stand to provide vague recollections of the events that took place the day her mother died. Most of the children said they didn’t see much. A couple said they saw Ryan fighting with some of the kids, and the older woman struggling with one of them over a gun. It was always too dark, with a lot of commotion, to make heads or tails of anything.
No one sat behind Ryan - who would? When she had taken the stand, she pointed to the brunette girl with bangs in the audience who had told everyone to run, and a fair skinned, dark haired boy who sat in the row behind her as the one who brought the gun. Their parents and teachers were brought to the stand for their alibi and as character witnesses. No one was asked to speak to Ryan’s character. Her attorney seemed to make little effort or have no success in tracking anyone down. Ryan had suggested going to her mother’s church at one point, but she wasn’t sure if that ever happened.
When permitted by the judge, Arthur Brown, the Assistant DA, stood up to counter with his closing arguments.
Arthur: “The defense has asked you to consider if Kane County Juvenile Detention Center has the capacity to take in another person, and believes that because her client might not have had the same advantages as the other children present the day that Cora Lewis was shot, that should be reason enough to look the other way, when the woman who was caring for Miss Wilder is now dead. Instead of arguing with more statistics of those serving time in our local detention center, I’ll remind you that your role is to determine if Miss Wilder has committed a crime. More, if you believe she is responsible for the circumstances that led to her adopted mother’s death, if the foster system where Ryan Wilder would be sent is the right place to rehabilitate someone who has broken the law. The defense’s client has claimed that Beth Kane is to blame for her mother’s killing, implying that she organized the party that took place in the apartment Ms. Lewis was in the process of securing for them. You’ve heard several accounts from the children present that day who agree that Beth Kane did not organize the party they attended, and that she learned about it through conversations at school the same way that they did. Without evidence to corroborate Miss Wilder’s story, we must look at the available facts. Only the apprehended children were found with drugs, which did not include Beth Kane but did include Ryan Wilder, and a gun that was registered to Cora Lewis was used to take her life. Miss Wilder sounds like a young woman desperate to avoid facing the consequences of her actions, and who is trying to redirect the blame towards a child who comes from a loving home.
Arthur Brown made it sound like Ryan was picking on poor little Beth Kane because she was rich and more loved, as though Ryan was just jealous of her. And he made Ryan’s attorney sound like an amateur (which she probably was). The statements from the other children that had been detained with Ryan were missing, and the gun, which was not her mother’s, had magically been registered to Cora Lewis with a backdate.
It ended up being a career changing win for Arthur Brown who'd earned the nickname "Clue Master'' among his clients for making anything that would have helped Ryan's case mysteriously evaporate, and replacing them with more quizzical evidence.
Stephanie and Ryan had agreed to meet at Brown Law Offices for coffee the next morning. Arthur would randomly pop into his daughter’s office throughout any given day to rattle off some financial question that he expected her to decode on the spot, and when he did so this morning, he’d be introduced to Robyn. In return, Stephanie would be Robyn’s plus one at The Gallery, so she could play wingwoman with Luke.
The plan worked like a charm.
Arthur: “Stephanie, I didn’t expect you to be in a meeting on a Saturday morning.”
Stephanie: “Dad, this is Robyn Wilde, the new CEO at Jeturian Industries. She’s new to Gotham and I invited her here for coffee. You know it can be hard to get away…”
Arthur: “That it can. Well, good morning Ms. Wilde, and congratulations on the new role. Is everything okay with Jada Jett?”
Ryan: “Great to meet you Mr. Brown. Jada is well, just taking some time away to spend with her family. So, I’m interim CEO. And, it feels a little too soon in life for me to go by my last name, so Robyn is just fine.”
Arthur: “Fair enough. You can also call me Arthur. How are you settling in…?”
Ryan: “Definitely still getting my bearings. There’s so much to nail down when you move to a new city... I just bought a building yesterday, and sure could have used some legal advice to make sure I wasn’t overlooking anything.”
Arthur: “Well, your timing is quite fortunate, because a spot just opened up on our client list.”
Ryan is not surprised that Candice Long is no longer keeping Arthur on retainer. Luke’s quick passes through her emails informed them that she and her husband are now amidst a divorce, and he probably got Aurther in the friend split, since Candice is the one who betrayed everyone with her affair. While she deserves no pity from Ryan, the double standard that Jacob Kane’s life remains perfectly intact, while Candice’s falls apart is typical, and would normally disappoint Ryan; in this specific scenario, the bitch had it coming.
Stephanie: “Look at that! Robyn was just telling me how lucky her timing has been since she arrived.”
Ryan: “Very true. Well, Arthur, should we set up a meeting?”
Arthur: “I have a little time this morning. My first call isn’t for an hour. Mind if I steal your coffee date, Steph?”
Stephanie: “By all means…”
Stephanie winks at Ryan.
Ryan: “Well, alright then. Though, if you’ll forgive me, I should probably visit the ladies first.”
Stephanie: “Oh for sure. The bathrooms are in the lobby, where the receptionist desk was. As you can see, we don’t have coverage on the weekends, so you’ll have to buzz us to get back in. And then I can walk you to my dad’s office.”
Ryan: “Perfect!”
On the way out, Ryan overhears her dad complimenting Stephanie for bringing in new business, especially from Jeturian Industries. He could never get a meeting with Jada Jett. This also doesn’t surprise Ryan. Jada Jett had nothing to do with anyone associated with the Kanes.
While father and daughter are occupied in their conversation, Ryan is able to slip behind the receptionist desk to place the spyware device Luke gave her in the desktop computer’s USB drive.
Ryan Cell: Bug set.
Luke Cell: Great. Give me 5 minutes. I’ll be able to scan everything stored on their servers. And, because they’re using a wifi enabled phone system, I’ll have access to their recorded calls and voicemails, too.
Ryan rolls her eyes at Luke’s need to spell out the technicalities of the device via text, when he should be focused on scanning everything over as quickly as possible (as if she really needs these details at this exact moment).
Ryan Cell: You have 3 minutes.
Ryan rushes to the bathroom to make up for the lost time. She’s sure to flush the toilet and wash her hands, so that no one starts to wonder about her status. She’s lucky that Stephanie’s computer has her attention when she returns to the desk, and she’s able to reach over to grab the device out of the USB port without notice. She walks over to hit the buzzer, and Stephanie looks up at her with a smile. It’s time to make herself feel like a friend of the family.
~~~~~
10 HOURS BEFORE THE LEAK
Sophie: “I’m not going, Mary. Thank you, but no thank you.”
Mary had just walked through the doors of The Hold Up with a very sunny disposition. She’d been texting Sophie, trying to convince her to attend The Gallery Pride event that evening, and Sophie had every reason for why she couldn’t go.
Mary: “Maybe it’s time to hire some additional help around here, so you don’t have to work all the time.”
Sophie’s face warmed a bit at the thought.
Sophie: “That wasn’t really an option before, but it might be now. I still wouldn’t come if I had coverage, though.”
Mary: “I’m going to assume that smile wasn’t about Kate, since I’m pretty sure she’s the reason you don't want to come with me.”
Sophie just responds with a half, somewhat apologetic smile.
Mary: “Soph, seriously. I can’t do anything about her being my sister, but you’re my family too. You guys have to get passed this.”
Sophie: “There’s nothing for me to get passed. She’s the one who won’t move on. It’s been forever…”
Mary: “So who are you moving on with? Was I noticing a little something between you and the new girl with great style?”
Sophie: “I barely know Robyn.”
Mary: “And do you want to change that?”
Sophie shrugs.
Sophie: “I know you heard she bought this place.”
Mary: “Business is more fun with a little pleasure.”
Sophie: “Oh, whatever. I’m not dating anyone right now. I don’t have time.”
Diane Moore walks out from the kitchen, catching the end of their conversation.
Mary: “Like I said before, it’s time to get some help around here.”
Diane: “I agree, Sophie. You’re never going to find a husband if the only men you ever meet are the ones that walk through this bar. You need to go out and meet people.”
Sophie: “Mom, I’ve told you, I’m not looking for a husband.”
Diane: “Exactly.”
Diane was willfully ignoring the many times Sophie had told her that wasn’t in the cards for her. Her mom simply kept saying Sophie hadn’t found the right man yet, not able to understand or accept that she wasn’t ever going to want to be with a man.
Sophie: “Can we not do this right now?”
Diane: “Sure, because you need to take that colorful tarp out from in front of my window, anyway.”
Sophie: “It’s a rainbow flag, for Pride Month. All of the other restaurants and retail stores are doing it, so just look the other way.”
Diane scowls at Sophie and turns around, talking under her breath about her not running anything in this restaurant, not caring about what other businesses are doing, and someone she created disrespecting her in front of customers. Mary reaches over and places a hand on Sophie’s.
Mary: “If it helps, at least your dad isn’t a cheater.”
Sophie: “I don’t actually know that for sure, but what are you talking about?”
Mary: “Oh, just that my mom and dad have been having hushed arguments when they think we’re out of earshot about how he was having an affair with Candice Long.”
Sophie: “His Secretary! The Candy Lady?”
Mary: “That’s the one. And, outside of our home, they’re walking around like the perfect couple, which is making me sick to my stomach to watch. So, per usual, it’d be great to have my best friend at this stupid performance of 'look at the happy, blended Hamilton Kane family!'”
Sophie: “I don’t know, Mary…”
Mary had become Sophie’s closest friend. The thing that happens in movies, where people have long, philosophical conversations with the bartender, would happen each time Mary drove Beth and friends to The Hold Up. They’d bonded over trying to relate to their sisters, and understand their mothers who seemed to have questionable taste in men. Both of them didn’t know their dads, and had spent time with step dads that weren’t proving to be any better. Sophie didn’t spend as long with her step dad (Jordan's dad), thankfully for her but not so much for Diane, but Mary was still trying to figure out the relationship she had with hers.
Mary: “Kate told me Robyn’s going to be there.”
Sophie narrows her eyes, and shakes her head at Mary for thinking that would influence her decision.
Sophie: “She lives upstairs. I don’t have to go to a fancy benefit with people who don’t want me there to run into her, if that’s even what I was trying to do, and no one said it was.”
Mary: “I want you there! Why do we even go through this, Soph? You’re not really going to leave me hanging. You know Kate barely remembers me half of the time, and Beth barely tolerates me all of the time. I need you!”
Sophie plops her head in her crossed arms on the bar.
Mary: “Yes! I love you.”
Sophie: “You better.”

Gotham's Wealthy Men Meet Grisly Fate: An Unsettling Trend Emerges
By Joey Day, Gotham Daily Observer
Gotham's affluent quarters are ablaze with whispered fears and hushed conversations. Over the span of a few weeks, a sinister pattern has been etching itself into the city's landscape. Three of Gotham's most powerful and prominent men have met with an enigmatic and gruesome end.
The victims, namely Randolph Torrence, an oil magnate; Leonard Murphy, the city's construction titan; and Cecil Hammond, who spearheaded various international mining operations, were discovered in their plush bedrooms in a jarring state of undress. But the most horrifying detail is the aggressive plant matter that sprouted from every conceivable orifice: eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. This wasn't just a death; it was an insidious botanical takeover.
Medical professionals from Gotham General, after examining the remains, reported a shocking detail. The plant's invasive growth began when the victims were still conscious, leading to a drawn-out, agonizing 24 hours before the embrace of death. Dr. Helena Cartwright, a prominent botanist and researcher, had been consulted to provide more insight into this mysterious plant matter.
"The structure is fascinatingly intricate," she began as we sat down in her sunlit lab, surrounded by less menacing plant specimens. "Upon analysis, these aren't ordinary plant cells. They more closely resemble mammalian cells, quite specifically human. And the intrigue deepens – the DNA within these cells does not correspond to any of the victims."
After rigorous testing, Dr. Cartwright confirmed that the DNA indeed belongs to a woman. Yet, her identity remains a conundrum. Cross-checking with the database at GCPD yielded no matches.
The last known sightings of each man place them in the company of a woman with a vivid mane of red hair, gracefully dressed in green. Although witnesses' descriptions of her facial features are inconsistent, the striking red hair and green attire remain constant.
Gotham's Police Department, realizing the gravity of these incidents, has issued a cautionary advisory. "If you frequent upscale establishments, be vigilant and cautious," they urged, especially targeting Gotham's high-society men.
As the city's nights grow colder and more unpredictable, the populace is left to wonder: what malevolent intent drives this unknown woman? The chilling riddle is yet to unfold, but every new revelation only deepens the mystery.
Signing Out,

🌺 love your writing
Thank you hearing that makes me so happy! And thanks for the ask!
🌺 favorite poetic quote from a published work:
Ooh this was a fun one, do you mind if I give two? I couldn't pick:
1)
He raises his beer to the sunlit sky in a toast to all things red, yellow and green, before taking the first bitter sip to kick off his vigil.
It's a bright day to be dark in and he's glad for it, knowing Gotham it'll fog over again before long, but for now, he's glad.
He takes another sip.
-------- from my Jason Todd fic April 27th (I was only a child), I like the romance of obliquely referencing the robin colours (and all they stand for) here in a kind of salute.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2)
Madara watches him back, a red gaze meeting a purple one for perhaps the first time since Uchiha Indra walked the earth.
He wonders how the Rinnegan, the third and supposedly strongest of the Three Heavenly Dōjutsu, sees this wretched world.
--------------- from my Naruto fic Maelstrom, I like the weight of history and sense of majesty it conveys.
This fic's a time travel fix it so I really wanted to give the world building an epic vibe, y'know? Walking among legends as the stuff of legends. Which can be a cliché but I feel with this line I managed to put enough sincerity into it that it landed right for the readers.

TentaTodd Week 2021, Day 5: Free Day
@tentatoddweek content under the break!
Jason is in the water, on his back, his eyes closed.
Santa Prisca isn’t the nicest place, but it’s also somewhere Jason feels the safest. Sure, there are sharks in the water, but they’ll leave you alone if you leave them alone.
Jason lets himself fan out, spreading his tentacles far out into the warm sunlit water. The sand is bright white, the water is a crystalline blue. There are birds, and all sorts of little fish in his cove.
This is an incredible luxury, just being able to stretch out like this. Jason had bought himself a high-rise in Gotham, converting an entire floor into a saltwater pool. But the water is stale and tastes of chemicals.
The ocean is better.
His thoughts wander to Dick, who is somewhere safe on the shore. Their little strip of beach protected by the best armed guards favors could sway.
Money is worthless on this island. Only favors and people’s reputations mean anything around here. Jason’s reputation is formidable. And his owing anyone a favor is beyond price. And anyway, no one would do anything to Dick. Not just because he’s with Jason, but because Dick is genuinely a likeable guy.
Jason keeps thinking about Dick as he floats in the water, his tentacles curling and uncurling lazily. More than just about how good he looks in his trunks. He thinks about his sense of duty, and justice, and how hard he works to keep people safe. To keep Jason on the straight and narrow.
Well. Not that straight, and not that narrow, he thinks, chuckling to himself.
It’s rare that they get days like these. But Jason’s determined to take advantage when they do get them. They’re getting older. These things mean more to him now.
Jason thinks about Dick as he luxuriates in the water. How differently things could’ve gone if Dick had been someone who held onto a grudge as tightly as Bruce does.
Jason’s body undulates softly with the small waves that break over the little coral reef further out in the water, and he is thankful that they’d had other people to set an example. Alfred. Clark.
He dunks his head, and watches the fish a while.
When he gets to the shore, Jason is Jason again. He walks right into the kitchen, forgoing the fruit on the counter, though he is hungry. Instead, he wraps his arms around Dick’s body. Jason is hot from the sunshine, maybe even a little burnt, and Dick shivers against the heat radiating from his body.
“I love you,” Jason says.
“Yeah?” Dick smiles.
“You know I do.”
“I do,” Dick grins into Jason’s neck. “I love you, too.”

Now that Sunlit Gotham is done... What comes Next?
Here are quick little blurbs of each idea so you know what to vote for:
Direct Sequel to Sunlit Gotham - tackling the actual failing of the Mist, the fallout that it means for the myth communities, and the fact that there are now that mortals know they exist. There's a lot of political controversy (Kinda like the anti-meta fight all over again). Sky is gonna need to fight this on multiple levels, as the Spartan, but also as Skylar Richardson-Wayne, daughter of Bruce Wayne - who maybe has more sway on the political side of things. Not to mention school and being a teenager on top of it all :)
(more below the line break)
Skylar + Bobby in the Marvel Universe - Two options here, one focuses mainly on Sky starting with the original 2012 Avengers movie (will not stay canon to the MCU past a certain point) and the other focuses on both siblings and would put Sky at the same age as Peter Parker (definitely would not be canon to the MCU and would be more General Marvel Vibes from multiple variations)
Sky and Bobby in Transformers (Bayverse) Universe - Sky and Bobby are sent to visit their cousin - Sam Witwicky - and end up joining in on the race to find the Allspark
Various New OCs from various fandoms - I have a lot... it's maybe a problem
Completely Original Work - Leap of Faith - Roxanne Johnson is a freshman in high school who spends her time busy with cheerleading, martial arts, school, and friends.

it’s lunch time in gotham and spring gifts the city’s skies with a kind baby blue shade. no clouds, no rain, harvey’s home almost looked like any other metropolis in america. almost. as he walked down the courthouse’s hallway, the district attorney could not bring himself to stop and enjoy the view of a sunlit skyline. he looked straight ahead, focused, lost in deep thought as he made his way towards the elevator.
harvey had been working non-stop: his attempts at forcing criminal families out of hiding and onto the defendant seat had showed little results. some, yes, but not as fast nor efficiently as he’d like. corruption was clogging up the system, dent didn’t know who he could actually count on. it would seem one of the few people that he truly trusted was A MASKED VIGILANTE and he thought that was a good indicator of just how rotten gotham had gotten.
the elevator opens its doors and, as a few people step out, someone catches harvey’s eye. a small woman; her clothes looked expensive and, even from a distance, dent could tell she was pretty. real pretty. but the more he stared, the more he realised just how familiar she looked --- harvey didn’t know her , but he knew who she was. as the elevator’s metallic doors began to close, the DA rushed to stick his foot inside, opening them back up.
“ señorita rendón ! what a pleasant surprise . ” he greeted her with a dazzling smile. “ going down ? ” instead of waiting for an answer, harvey immediately pressed the bottom button. it lit up and mr. dent was quick to direct his attention back to beatríz. “ my team and i have been meaning to speak to your husband but it seems that , no matter how hard we try , we just cannot get a hold of him ! i’m starting to think he’s avoiding me . ” harvey smirked. truth of the matter was elio rendón was yet another parasite feeding off of whatever was left of gotham’s carcass. he needed to face the consequences of his actions, needed to be brought to justice and it needed to be done THE RIGHT WAY.
“ i’m sorry . i’m harvey , harvey dent . ” a hand was offered to shake.

i was tagged by @redhoodiejt in a lovely fic writer interview tag game!! thanks red ily!! <3
Name(s): crystalinastar on both tumblr and ao3!
Fandoms: mainly dc, a lot of batfam but i dip my toes into other corners of dc! plus, i plan for a lot more non-batfam dc content sometime in the future. i’ve also written for spider-verse, theoretically i could also write mcu and some areas of marvel comics, i’m down to write for so many musicals, also some book series, i think that’s about it?
Where you post: ao3 and tumblr!
Most popular oneshot by kudos (overall): i work alone (thanks for being alone with me, batfam). oh man how i have grown since even then.... i still think the fic is funny though, so,
Most popular oneshot by kudos (from this year): same as above!
Most popular multichap by kudos (overall): as expected, my yj text fic, idiots with phones! not updated for so long, unsure if i will continue to update it, but my brother does read through it over and over and laugh at all the same jokes every time so i consider that a win
Most popular multichap by kudos (from this year): we have not touched the stars, the first multichap i have ever completed! it’s set in my reverse batfam au and i love it so much
Favorite story you’ve written so far: my answer changes all that time, but i will plug the first fic of my reverse batfam au that sets it up, sunlit and shadowed!
Fic you were nervous to post: Young and a Menace, co-written with the bastard lovely @bisexualoftheblade, written for this year’s batfam big bang!
How do you choose your titles? grab a song lyric most of the time, sometimes poetry, sometimes titles Appear In My Mind before i’ve written the fic!
Do you outline? hahaha bold of you to assume i can hold off on writing the fic long enough to outline and not lose interest. at most, my outlines are like 200 words. compare this to when i co-write with cai, and they’re out here writing 8k outlines
Complete: 21 out of 28! mostly oneshots
In progress: 7 out of 28!
Coming soon: several,,, a lot from my found family bingo card, birthday fics, various prompt fills, fics for the big bangs i will be participating in next year, more from the ylimaf-verse, more from my au set in a future where the we are robin movement protects gotham instead of bats, okay so it’s a lot more
Prompts: not currently accepting them, trying to clear out my 100 follower prompts first
Upcoming works you’re most excited about: doing more of the ylimaf verse and to those who try verse (aforementioned we are robin centric au) definitely!! and all the rest of them tbh
No pressure tags: @afellowstargazingdreamer @desert-lily @queerbutstillhere @shelbychild

Tim left his room and went downstairs for the first time in days. The manor was quiet, sunlit by the afternoon light coming in through the windows. To an outsider, it might have seemed peaceful.
Tim knew better. They weren’t peaceful— they were grieving: Dick and Tim for their father, Alfred for his son.
Tim stopped in the foyer for a few moments to breathe in, breathe out, pull himself together before he headed down to the kitchen. If he didn’t eat now, he never would.
He pulled up suddenly when he saw Damian standing in the hallway, studying the wall of family photographs. What was he still doing here? Wasn’t he going to leave?
Tim continued walking. “Damian,” he said flatly on his way past.
“Drake,” Damian shot back.
Tim made it all the way to the next door before Damian sighed softly from behind him. Tim turned backwards and found Damian still absorbed in the pictures. He might not have realized he made a noise in the first place.
Tim turned around and walked back down the hallway. Damian didn’t react to that at all, just reached out a hand to touch the frame of one of the larger photographs.
“That’s Bruce and me in Chicago,” Tim told Damian. “We went to a conference there, then down to the lake for the beaches. We stayed for a week. It was good.”
“And this one?” Damian asked, pointing towards another.
“Dick, Bruce, and Jason, back when Jason was young. I guess they went skiing.”
Damian nodded and moved down the wall to the next set of pictures. He turned to Tim with a questioning look.
“Cass and Barbara before a party. Dick’s high school graduation. Bruce in France.”
The last was a framed picture of Bruce in a garden, seated on a bench and looking over his shoulder, solemnly, at the camera.
“I took that one,” said Tim. “He always brought me with him when he had to leave. I loved that about him.”
Tim did love that about Bruce. He’ll be back, Tim reminded himself. You can still get him back.
He knew better than to say it out loud.
“When I was young, my parents were always gone on trips. I would get postcards from them in the mail, and I always wanted… Well, Bruce did that for me. He took me with him.”
They stayed quiet for a few minutes, then Damian broke the silence.
“I didn’t know he was my father until I came to Gotham.”
“Wow.”
“Mother said I would meet him when I was ready. I fought for years to be ready, and now…”
Damian sighed again. He looked awfully small. “I didn’t know him. I never will.”
“That’s hard.”
“Yes,” Damian agreed, “and made harder by your presence. Weren’t you going somewhere?”
Tim stared at him.
“Fine,” said Damian. “That was… unnecessary. I apologize.”
“It’s fine. I don’t really care.” Tim thought for a moment, then gestured Damian down the hallway to the kitchen. “Come on. Let’s go.”
Besides the two of them, the kitchen was empty. Tim started the oven, then pulled a batch of Alfred’s biscuit dough from the fridge. He looked over at Damian.
“Soft biscuits or crunchy?”
“Soft.”
“Okay. Come make tea while I do scrambled eggs.”
Damian hurried over to the tea cabinet. “Find a spice you like for the eggs while you’re over there,” Tim told him.
The two of them made breakfast in silence, then sat down at the table with tea, eggs, biscuits, and jam. Realistically, the biscuits were a little past soft, but Tim had tried his best.
“Did you ever see his persona?” Tim asked. “Bruce’s public face?”
“Through a camera once,” said Damian. “Not in person or up close.”
“It’s terrifying. He laughs a lot.” Tim heard himself hop tenses again and forced himself back into the past. “He could turn it on in half a second, and then real Bruce was just… gone. There was this charismatic, loud man there instead. Can you imagine?”
“No,” said Damian thoughtfully, “I can’t. Was he ever like that at home?”
“Never. It was always a front to throw off anyone that might guess his identity. Didn’t always work, obviously.”
“You guessed.”
“Yeah. A long time ago.”
“I only ever met Batman.”
“You met Bruce then,” said Tim, “not because, I don’t know, ‘Batman’ is the only thing inside him. He’s not… His identity isn’t some man that lives in the darkness and swallows criminals whole. He’s not an assassin or a soldier or whatever. He’s not a nightmare.” Tim ran a hand through his hair. “He’s a person. It’s just… Batman is the same person.”
Present tense. Tim tried again.
“Bruce is— was— forget it, I don’t care anymore. Bruce is—”
Damian shrugged in what was maybe a poor attempt at scorn. He took another plateful of eggs and motioned for Tim to go on.
“Bruce just feels everything: anger and pain, yeah, but those aren’t the only emotions. There’s compassion and empathy and hope for the city. He loves this city.”
Damian nodded.
“He just…. wants everybody to be okay,” said Tim, in the full knowledge that he wasn’t okay, not even a little bit.
That wasn’t Bruce’s fault.
Bruce never left Tim. He just didn’t.
Damian looked at Tim with eyes that might have been full of pity.
Tim hated it.
He spread jam over another biscuit. “I don’t know what you think of him,” he said. “Maybe Bruce is just some cold, legendary fighter to you, but that’s wrong, and I know it. We’re his family.”
Damian cocked his head to the side. “We?”
“I guess.” Truthfully, Tim had meant himself, Dick, Cass, and Alfred, plus some others when you looked at it the right way. But Damian was Bruce’s son too. Tim supposed he counted.
“Yeah,” Tim decided. “We.”
Damian thought about that. “Thank you, Drake. I will take this under consideration.”
He got up from the table and left the kitchen, leaving Tim by himself with the plates and the kettle. Tim rolled his eyes.
He piled the plates together and went to do the dishes by himself.
