I honestly think the only way James Gunn can fully sell me his new DC universe, is if he gives me WonderBat and GreenHawk. Like, those ships are the main reason I became obsessed with this comic universe, and I can't deny myself watching any content related to them.
So I actually got tagged for this twice! By @gingerbreton and @optiwashere and thank you both so much for it, it made my day. Conveniently for this occasion I also happen to have two WIPS I'm working on right now so I figured why not trot them both out!
This bit's from my John/Shayera chapter fic that I've been working on for... ever, is how it feels at this point, oh my God. Maybe I'll cave and start posting it to AO3 since it's almost done, ANYWAY:
Shayera huffed softly, despite herself. “The green guy?” she asked, and she saw J’onn look at her curiously.
“Most of us call you bird lady.” The crow’s voice was dry.
“Fair enough. Did any of you see which way my mate went after the fight?”
Now J’onn and Wally were looking at her curiously for that slip, but Shayera ignored them. The truth was, she’d been chewing on a theory ever since she’d come to the realization that John would be trying to hide out, not trying to seek help. All she needed was confirmation, some kind of hint that her theory was right. Looking for the Green Lantern would still be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but if she was right it would at least be a smaller haystack.
I’m spending way too much time with Clark lately.
This last bit's from a Shadowheart POV fic I started that's my next piece for my Agatha/Shadowheart stuff! It... does not have a title yet. I'll think of one eventually.
No, she had done the most dangerous thing, the most unforgivable thing.
She had started to hope.
That, Shadowheart had noticed. That, she had tried to ignore, had tried to bury, had tried to kill before it even left the womb. Her memories may have been shattered pieces of a mirror at the best of times, but she remembered her teachings. She remembered at least some of her lessons. If she wanted to be a Dark Justiciar, if she truly wanted to be embraced by Lady Shar, she couldn’t let hope take root in her heart.
It had happened so gradually, so slowly though that she hadn’t been able to resist it even when she’d tried to. Every time Karlach tried to pull her into a joke or come up with a new nickname, every time Wyll would think up different silly names just to get a reaction from her or tell one of his stories, every time Gale gently batted her away when she tried to peek at what he was cooking for the evening only to let her sneak away with a little piece before dinner anyway, every time Astarion leaned casually into her shoulder and murmured some new gossip into her ear that made her snort, she felt it. Hells, every time she and Lae’zel bickered, even, as their relationship gradually shifted from adversarial to something she would almost consider grudging respect, she felt it.
Gonna tag @the-darkness-does-not-bargain, @ohmypawsandwhiskers, @the-rebel-archivist, @foibles-fables, and @karatam if you want to participate! And of course, anyone who sees this is free to post anything as well. Thank you again for the mentions!
In honor of the 20th anniversary (shit I feel old now) of my very first ship from my childhood becoming canon in the Justice League episode Wild Cards. I give you the complex (and unresolved on screen) relationship between John Stewart (Green Lantern) and Shayera Hol (Hawkgirl) from the DCAU series Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.
Okay but this was perfect: stern Marine solider being goofy, making snow angles and having a snowfight with his crush and a warrior spy taking her crush to a bar fight.
THEY ARE SO PERFECT FOR ONE ANOTHER GREENHAWK FORVER
Also on that note that humonaid aliens are still aliens superbat, dickkori, dickkoribabs, and hawklantern/greenhawk are also considered to be lowkey monster fucker relationships.
So not only does the batfam have an alien kink some of them are also monster fuckers.
