#Clark and Bruce like. confess to each other that they’re both in love with their best friend who doesn’t want them back

[ivy-and-ivory]

Getting together/identity reveal AU where Superman and Batman start up a casual friends with benefits-and-pining situation while they still don’t know the other’s identity. Nothing exclusive, just a way to blow off some steam after missions, etc. etc. Obviously both of them are pining fools so Bruce starts sleeping with a bunch of other people too as a way to try and ‘prove’ he’s not actually attached to Superman. And what person eventually becomes Bruce Wayne’s second semi-regular non-exclusive booty call, when he’s not occupied with Superman? Why, none other than Clark Kent of the Daily Planet of course, who’s ALSO trying to distract himself from the best friend he’s fucking and also in love with.

The amount of time it takes them to figure it what is going on is frankly undignified.

Milagro Colin first date 💕

D’aw!

(For the record—She asked him out 😂😂)

———————

When Milagro had marched into the living room that afternoon, head held high, and asked him out, Colin had no idea what to expect. Dinner for sure—he needed almost as many calories as the twins, and Milagro definitely loved her food too. But he expected a diner or even a nice-ish sit down restaurant.

Instead she’d taken him to a hidden gem—a food truck with the best tacos and fajitas he’s ever had. Of course, as a New Jersey boy, his option doesn’t matter quite as much as the Texan latina in front of him. But she’d told him how she and her brother found this place years ago. How it’s a secret no one else on the teams know. Except him now. He’s not sure why, but that makes his heart flutter.

Conversation came easy to them. Once they got past school stuff, they’d geared toward the various hero gossip. At the moment, the giant crush their teammates, Jai and Lian, have on each other.

“I swear they’re blind!” She laughs, “Like Jai’s always liked her, but I swear Lian’s become more oblivious. I think she should just tell him.”

“She could dance naked in front of him, still wouldn’t click.” They both laugh, knowing their friends will figure it out sooner. Setting his tinfoil to the side, Colin leans forward, arms resting on the table, “So, Mil, I gotta ask—Why ask me out?”

She smilies, mimicking his posture, “Would you think less of me if I said it’s because you got hot this summer?”

“Absolutely not, worked hard for the glow up.” He teases, then sobers, “That’s not the whole reason though, is it?”

Sighing, Milagro picks at one of the chips, “I love the others but…I don’t think they understand what it’s like to be…forced…into this life. Like, I know some of what Damian went through, but….they all grew up surrounded by heroes. For them, it was carrying on a legacy. But I was 10 when the ring chose me.”

“What do you mean?” Colin asks. His hand covers her across the table. Goosebumps prickle her skin, despite the warm night.

“The rings choose their wearer. Each colors different, but for the Green Lantern Corps, it’s willpower. Being able to overcome great fear. Not being not afraid. Being afraid and doing it anyway.” She sighs, “A new wearer is chosen after the last one dies. Got to learn that in front of the league…”

They sit in a comfortable silent, Milagro remembering how scared she was, her brother reassuring her everything would be okay. Colin speaks softly, “How long had Jaime been back?”

She blinks at him, “A few months, why?”

“That’s why you got your ring. Your parents said you were the one person who never gave up that he was alive. I can’t imagine how scary it must have been. You never gave up and never let anyone tell you what to believe. Still don’t. It’s something I admire about you.”

“Not scarier than Bane and Scarecrow—”

“Don’t do that.” His words are soft, but firm, “What I went through doesn’t minimize your pain.”

“…If you could go back, stop it from happening, would you?”

Colin considers the question, “No. For a bunch of reasons. The biggest one is the team itself. I agree with you…The others never really had to think about what a regular life would be like. Well…Jon maybe but I don’t think that lasted long. But…do you remember the first Christmas as a team?”

She nods. Images of his face when he walked in to a pile of presents—clothes, shoes, decorations, toiletries, games and toys— make her smile. He’d hugged every adult there, trying not to cry. Her mother held his face and told him God has a plan for his life.

“The parents didn’t have to do that for me. But they did. I have so many adults who love me now. Like when I wonder about my parents and why they left, I call Dick. When I need homework help, Wally or Clark. Hell, Bruce made sure I got tested for dyslexia to help me out. And when I’m angry at God, I can call Roy and Jason to let out steam.”

His last confession sits between them. On their team, there’s a mix of religious beliefs, but Colin and Milagro are both Catholic. They usually pray to themselves before each meal, or listen to Mass in their rooms on Sundays. She knows he lives in an Catholic orphanage but…she’s never heard anyone else talk about being angry at God.

“I get angry at God too.” She admits. “Just…with everything that we’ve seen and been through…I want to scream when people say ‘he gives the hardest task to his strongest soldiers.’ I want to scream at them that God expects too much from children.”

“I know.” He agrees, squeezing her hand, “There’s times when I answer a domestic call or save a kid from an abusive family. People say how lucky it is I was there. But why does it have to happen? I was one of those kids. I didn’t need some superhero to save the day. I just needed someone to notice.”

More silence, then he shakes his head, “When I get older, I want to be a foster dad. I want to be who I needed to kids like me. Even if I’m not a hero anymore. I can still help.”

“But for now?”

“For now I will use the powers vested upon me to protect and serve. Besides,” He gives her a flirty grin, “If I never got my powers, I wouldn’t have met you. That alone is worth it.”

A smile spreads over her beautiful face, “Smooth, Wilkes.”

“I try.” He squeezes her hand, “And I mean it.”

“I know you do.” She squeezes his hand back, “Colin?”

“Hm?”

“…Any chance you’re free tomorrow for lunch?”

Laughing, he lifts her hand and kisses it, “If I say yes, you have to let me ask you out next time.”

“Deal.”

I need to air out my brain so have some of my

Timkon headcanons

Kon developed a crush first. He really tried not to, but just couldn't stop himself. It was out of his control, completely smitten before he could register it

Tim just thought of them as close friends. Ironic how he's so smart and yet so oblivious to his own feelings. It wasn't until Kon came out as bi that he took a step back and realized that it was strange just how happy he was to know Kon wasn't straight.

If it were Bart coming out he'd be like "hey, nice bro" but when Kon did it he found himself thinking "omg omg omg he likes guys?? He likes guys??? Omg I'm a guy, that means he could like me. Omg wow that's so wild wow...now wait a damn minute-"

It was about 3 months of mutual pining until they finally confessed

Altho they definitely told Cassie

Poor Cassie was itching to just tell them already but she swore she wouldn't, and she's a very reliable person, would literally take a secret to the grave. She spent 3 months sitting back watching Tim and Kon pine after each other while knowing how they felt. It was torture

Meanwhile Bart was oblivious lmao

Bart's a great friend but he's not so good with secrets. He's got a little problem where he speaks before he thinks

Finally Kon made the first move...well kinda

He was sooo ready to just tell Tim in person, and then he settled on maybe a phone call, actually no, a text might work better...or maybe he'll just wait another week

And so he decided to have Cassie do it for him, what can I say, our boy Kon is afraid of rejection

It's bad enough Clark didn't wanna be his dad, what if Tim didn't wanna be his bf? That'd be harsh

And so Cassie called Tim up one evening and spilled the beans, which was a huge relief for her, and Tim was pleasantly surprised

He was also freaking out

He didn't know what to do, he wanted to call Kon immediately and tell him that he felt the same way, that he wanted to be more than friends, to be boyfriends. But then he collected himself, decided he wanted to tell him in person. Someone's gotta put on the brave face

So he texted Kon, asked if he was free to hang out at the Manor, talk abt a little something that Cassie brought up.

Kon was so nervous but he agreed and the next day he went over to the Manor.

Usually Conner was really chill with the Batfam, the Manor was practically a second home, but this time he was hella awkward. Mans was nervous

But they sat down in Tim's bed and talked. They talked abt everything, how long they've felt that way, how much they've been wanting to tell each other, when they first knew, I mean everything.

Kon asked what this meant, what this made them? And Tim said whatever he wanted

Kon had come out just 3 months prior to this and in a way, this was Tim's coming out. It was all so new for them, and it was nerve-wracking and exciting and crazy. But they were ready, and so they decided they would be boyfriends

Idk I guess that's how it works but anyway

Cassie was sooo happy for them and could finally spill all the beans

"omg FINALLY!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS TO KEEP QUIET ABT IT ALL"

And then Bart's just there like

"wait, Cassie knew? You told Cassie but not me??" >:/

Either way their friends were super happy for them

Tim told the Batfam abt a week later and everyone was super supportive and sweet about it. The Batfam actually likes Conner so they were excited for them

Alfred saw it coming a mile away, but he's happy for Tim since Conner's a good kid. A little obnoxious but they're a good fit

Dick was so happy for them, he likes all of Tim's friends and he knew for a while that they were a little closer than most. He accepted Conner into the family with open arms bc he's the best, like what do you expect

Jason was like "damn, didn't know u were bi. Cool tho, have fun dating ur annoying ass friend"

That's the extent of Jason's brotherly love

Damian was similar in that sense, he blatantly told Tim to his face that "Kent could do better but I suppose that's great news for you"

Bruce was happy asf for his son, being bi himself he was really supportive and proud of him. Plus Conner wasn't all that bad, yea he knocked over that expensive vase that one time and he's always yelling during sleepovers and he nearly ran over their cat that other time but hey, he's a good kid.

Babs and Cass and Duke were all happy for Tim too, Steph found out a few months later just bc her and Tim are exes. Not that there's bad blood between them, things just get a little awkward sometimes.

Kon didn't tell his family until about 2 months into their relationship. Except for Jon, he found out the same week but was sworn to secrecy.

Kon was really nervous to come out and tell his family bc he didn't know how Clark or Lex would react. He wasn't too worried abt Lois, he knew she would be supportive. But Clark and him were constantly at each other's throats and Lex wasn't all that good at listening or connecting to Kon.

Despite his daddy issues tho, both dads were really accepting of Kon and we're happy for him and Tim. Clark gave Kon the biggest hug and assured him that no matter how much they fought, he'd always be there for him. Lex also, surprisingly, hugged Conner and told him that who he loved didn't matter to him.

Kon and Tim's favorite date spot is this humble little coffee shop on a corner in Metropolis. Tim can feed his caffeine addiction and Kon can stuff his face on their freshly baked pastries

Altho Lex really wanted some of those WayneTech secrets

And yea those are my hcs on how it all started :)

I'll make another post for my other hcs since this one is long enough

[bigfan-fanfic]

Currently listening to Adele rn specifically her 21 album and I just see those songs are Ollie’s and Batdad’s story

I hope you appreciate that instead of doing college coursework, I listened to and analyzed a whole crapton of Adele lmao. I'm really a fan of how songs can be interpreted different ways, so you'll see this in my interpretation of how it fits into the story and my idea of the visuals that come to mind.

Rolling in the Deep - Ensemble number, Batdad, Ollie, Bruce, Selina, Talia, Clark: This story is a messy one, and there's a lot of emotion and hurt here. We've got everyone singing, our main triangle of Batdad, Ollie, and Bruce, along with Selina and Talia who have each been with Bruce and Clark who has pined and longed for both Batdad and Bruce without making a move. Amazing harmonies with Selina, Talia, and Clark singing backup, Batdad, Ollie, and Bruce singing alternating lines until everyone is singing together, voices interweaving in and out of focus. I imagine just this whole thing stripped down, like everyone standing in a circle, nothing else but them in separate spotlights. Maybe for effect it goes acapella at the end and they all stomp and clap to provide a beat.

Rumour Has It - Batdad, Talia (in flashback): Definitely the response from Batdad to finding out Selina and Bruce, but then we also have it as a flashback where Talia sings it to Bruce, threatening to drive a wedge between him and Batdad by telling him about them. I definitely see some kind of tango movement, with Batdad and Talia moving around Bruce, pushing him and forcing him to look at them, always being on opposite sides of him and never acknowledging the other. Maybe in the music video section, the flashback and modern portions blend seamlessly together, switching back and forth between obstructions put between the viewer and the action. The point of this being to show how Bruce is always concerned with how Batdad sees him, but he underestimates him and lies to him, tries to keep him in the dark.

Turning Tables - Ollie and Clark: Because I do want everyone to have somewhat of a happy ending, even Bruce, I'm establishing/suggesting Clark as the future lover of Bruce. But basically this song is Ollie pining over Batdad and trying to get over him despite never having made an emotional pure connection with any other person, and Clark struggling with the fact that he feels things for both men and knows he can't make a move on either. Ollie in a Gotham hotel overlooking the city, looking at Wayne Manor from afar, and Clark floating above watching Gotham from afar.

Don't You Remember - Ollie (flashback) and Bruce (now): This is Bruce and Ollie's feelings for Batdad in song form. Ollie is remembering being with Batdad for moments throughout them knowing each other and regretting never making a move, and Bruce is simply regretting ruining all that he's had with Batdad. Ollie sings the bridge of the song alone, with Bruce singing the final chorus alone, them both singing the last line with uncertainty. Just lots of flashbacks with singing over it - while Ollie sings, just lots of scenes between him and Batdad in golden light - maybe he sings it to Batdad in flashback as they lie together that first time, and Bruce sings it from the Batcave in darkness.

Set Fire to the Rain - Batdad, Talia, Selina, Clark (to Bruce): This is the song for everyone who has loved Bruce. Batdad and Selina harmonize on several lines, while Talia and Clark sing together on others - they alternate lines between the two pairs. We're not shaming Selina here so we're placing emphasis on her feeling used and lied to by Bruce, only knowing at the time he was Batman and not married. It takes place in Wayne Manor, and at points, all four singers are present with Bruce standing impassively in the center, at others, it's one at a time with Bruce reacting appropriately, a flashback of the scene. She feels immense guilt knowing she's been party to breaking up a marriage (and knowing it'll only hurt Gotham in general) and her lines are sung at Bruce angrily, throwing things and pointing accusingly. Talia sings imploringly, because to her, Batdad is holding Bruce back, keeping him from her and his true potential. Her song is her trying to convince him to leave Batdad for someone who can REALLY understand him. She's the most physical, touching Bruce, grabbing him. Batdad is the most subdued, not even looking at Bruce during his flashback, just singing resigned and disappointed. Clark's version of the song is longing, from afar, wishing he could be a part of the relationship or at least confess. In his flashback, he sings, and Bruce doesn't even notice.

He Won't Go - Batdad, Ollie - Batdad in flashback convincing himself to remain with Bruce, convincing himself that he won't go because he loves Bruce and shouldn't leave him. And Ollie still trying to get over Batdad... until somewhere mid-song it shifts, and suddenly Batdad goes to Ollie, and they're singing together, promising to make each other stronger and to never leave each other or stray. Batdad wandering Gotham in early morning or sometime in the early evening (interspersed with Batdad walking towards Bruce who sits in the dark), Ollie at a bar, during the first part of the song, until Batdad arrives at Ollie's hotel and they both go to Ollie's room and hold each other, maybe softly sway together to the beat of the song at the end, smiling.

Take It All - Bruce and Batdad: Bruce is reflecting on what he's done, and how he's treated Batdad, while Batdad is reflecting on his marriage. The song starts out bitter and accusing with Batdad singing to Bruce, but then it shifts to Bruce singing instead, giving Batdad closure and giving him his blessing to go and find something better, assuring him he'll always love him.

I'll Be Waiting - Ollie (flashback and now), Batdad (flashback and now): We see Ollie young and holding Batdad, promising that he'll wait for Batdad no matter how long it takes. And we see Batdad young, singing as he waits for Bruce to return from that initial training trip, slowly becoming more overworked and anxious over the years. And then everything lightens up once more as Batdad and Ollie dance together, and then Ollie proposes to him.

One and Only - Ollie, Bruce(in flashback): Ollie is singing this to Batdad, interspersed with shots of them being married and having their first dance together, the whole League in attendance. Basically just some fluff as Ollie can't quite believe he has the man of his dreams with him and promises devotion to him. The bridge of the song has young Bruce singing backup, symbolizing him helping Batdad let go of his past and move on.

Lovesong - Batdad, Ollie: Just them singing together, loving, and living life together.

Someone Like You- Batdad, Bruce, Ollie: We end on a happy, somewhat wistful note of hope - everyone is a little regretful of the choices they made in their shared past, but Ollie and Batdad have found love, Bruce wishes them well and is back to being Batdad's oldest and dearest friend, and everyone tries to move forward. Maybe at the end Bruce sits down to dinner with Clark and smiles a little.

[flashfuture]

hi!! re: your tags on a post not too long ago—what do you mean by dick’s previous love interests not respecting him? i haven’t read a whole lot of his stuff and tend to avoid romance-heavy plot lines in general, so this is 100% a genuine question and not me trying to start anything i promise, it’s just that i’ve seen dickb4bs and dickk0ry shippers in the past claim it’s sexism when people dislike his partners?

Ah well DC are big brain and they think peak humor is the boomer meme of the nagging wife. 

So basically Dick and Kori were an absolutely fucking amazing couple. But then there was the issue of Mirage where she pretended to be Kori and tricked Dick into sleeping with her. Which is r*pe. Dick was slut shamed and victim blamed for this. DC has an absolutely awful track record with male victims of sexual assault. Ollie was always victim blamed for happened to him. And Dick they didn’t even acknowledge that he was assaulted. As well they had Dick sleep with Babs before the wedding I think. And that is so ooc it’s not even funny.

And when Dick started dating Babs they slowly chipped away at his skills to prop Babs up. And I’ll say it again if you have to tear down another character to make one look good you haven’t proven any skill. Character A just got butchered for no reason and Character B stayed the same. So Babs started mocking Dick for a lot of things. And it carries over into modern stuff. Where she’s the big brain and her dumb himbo boyfriend. Dick Grayson is not a fucking himbo. He’s smart as hell and dangerous as hell. 

So they write Dick wrong to make him the butt of the joke. No one is laughing with him, they’re laughing at him. You see it in the newest Nightwing comics where Babs is there to make sure the reader knows how silly Dick is. 

The issue is with the writers being incapable of writing a het relationship well. Literally, the best ones I can think of is Dinah/Ollie (though Gail Simone and Judd Winick tried their best to fuck that one up) Big Barda/Scott Free, Clark/Iris, Barry/Iris, Wally/Linda (but DC keeps fucking my Flashes)

So yeah DickKori got a bad rap because the writers want to over-sexualize Kori so then it’s like she and Dick were only sexual and I just- they were gonna get fucking married. And I literally could care less about DickBabs except that it contributes to the character butchering of both Babs and Dick by the way. Because when Babs is mocking Dick she just looks like a bitch. They reduce Babs over and over again to Dick’s ex-girlfriend. 

So uh yeah those are my thoughts. People do indeed like to throw around sexist the same way they like to call Gail Simone a feminist because she thinks men are bad. She’s also the ally who says read this book because it’s got a gay character and that is about as surface level as you can get🤷‍♀️ I mean sure call me a sexist cause I don’t think the woman nagging and mocking a man all the time is a very good relationship dynamic. Lol yeah when people say that a lot of the time they’re just angry you don’t like their faves. As long as you aren’t you know actually being sexist (which really is not that hard to tell) then it’s best to ignore them. 

I’ve got some scalding takes on characters who are there just to be women for the sake of having a het love interest. They’ve certainly evolved Babs since then but every time she’s with a batboy she gets snapped right back into that box of 60s housewife. I’ll never exactly ship Babs with any of the Batboys because she was made to be Bruce’s love interest and keeps getting shifted around to fit with each and every other batboy. 

It is usually best to avoid Dick romances as the writer just uses the women to cause him more man pain cause of course they do. DC is traditionally written by men and lots and lots of white people. These people are older who have older views of relationships based on what was on TV but it’s still lame.

For example, there is always the age-old Babs and Kori fight over Dick storyline that absolutely no one wants to read. Women being pit against women over a fucking man??? Seriously? And if I see one more writer claims the only woman Dick has ever loved was Babs I’ll scream. It’s the tiniest smoothest brain take I have ever seen. 

Bea was lovely the cherry on top of the Ric mess. She was adorable and fun and she really cared about Dick as a person. I miss her. Which is I think the post you were talking about? Idk I can’t remember what I tag where lol. 

I think to derail for a quick sec the reason so many people turn to same-sex relationships in fiction is that the relationship between two women and two men will almost always be more developed than whatever het thing is going on. 

Dick is much much closer to Roy, Wally, Garth, and Joey than he ever was to Babs. Now DC is retconning that Dick and Babs were childhood friends. But they still imo have no chemistry outside of they both work with Batman and ones a girl ones a boy. 

Kori and Dick had real chemistry they were trying to both find freedom and safety within one another. The writers didn’t constantly have to hammer home that they loved each other or have random thought bubbles to try and make some connection happen. They just did happen. 

Anyone who knows me knows I am not the biggest Babs fan. However, I’ll still protest the unfair treatment of any character. I don’t have to like a character to not want them to be butchered by bad writing. Like confession time I don’t even like Jason that much but I talk about him all the time because I want him to have a good story. So to me DickBabs is directly connected the butchering of both characters and it just doesn’t work. 

so yep rambles on top of rambles. I’m not character bashing here just to make it clear. And I am a little bit relationship bashing but more so writer bashing.

The Ultimatum

AN: I cast Nadia Hilker as Artemis, but y’all can use anyone you want. I just kinda took reference from her look as Luna from The 100. Also I know Artemis has green eyes, I just changed it a little. Also in this chapter Diana and Kara are starting to form that Mother/Daughter bond cause they’re gonna need that shit in the future chapters. Also feel free to give suggestions for the story and I’d love to her your feedback. 

1,560+ words (lmao)

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Chapter 3

Masterlist

A few days later and Diana, accompanied by the 3 Kryptonians were in a jet, graciously offered by Bruce, headed to Paris after Diana offered to take them in. Kal and Y/K/N, now named Clarke Calvin Prince and Y/N M/N Prince respectively, according to the fake documents Bruce made for them, were both given window seats and were marveling at the sight with big curious eyes, their faces pressed up against the glass. 

“We’ll be landing in a few minutes so make sure you have all your things” Diana called out from the cockpit.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

 As soon as the jet landed, they were escorted into Diana’s car where they were taken to a nice duplex apartment. Though when Kara hesitated before stepping into the elevator, Diana quickly took action and lead them to the stairs. It wasn’t like they would get tired easily from it. So with that in mind, Kara insisted on carrying what little luggage they had, as well as the box they had filled with things from their pod. While Diana had Kal in her arms, while Y/N was perched on her shoulders as she happily babbled on with Kal whilst playing with Diana’s hair. 

 When they reached Diana’s floor, they were then directed to one of the doors there where they waited on Diana to unlock the door. As soon as they entered, they were engulfed in a welcoming atmosphere that brought comfort to Kara despite being in an unfamiliar environment. Unlike Wayne Manor, which felt dark and gloomy, whereas Diana’s apartment was light and gave her a feeling of a home filled with joy and love.

 She was brought out of her musings by a woman emerging from around a corner. She had curly copper hair that went down her shoulders, playful hazel-brown eyes, slightly tanned skin, and like Diana, she was tall and had a slim, yet muscular physique. She was wearing a white tank top with dark grey sweatpants. Though as soon as her eyes landed on Diana, the playful glint in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with fury.

“Diana” The woman said with a stern glare, crossing her arms together, which made Diana gently place Y/N on her feet and passing a sleeping Kal in Kara’s arms.

“Hello, my love” Diana answered with a sheepish smile on her face as she crossed the space between them to embrace the other woman, only for her to step away.

“Don’t ‘Hello, my love’ me Diana. You disappear for almost a week without telling me. Do you have any idea how worried I was?”

“I know and I’m sorry, my love” Diana said with a pout. Meanwhile, Kara was watching them amusedly and was occasionally taking in the place that would now be their home. She was interrupted by Diana calling her name and beckoning her over. “Love, this is Kara, the children are Y/N and Kal, Kara’s sister and cousin. They were the ones I told you about. Kara this is my wife, Artemis of Bana-Maghdall” she said. Artemis’s eyes softened as she looked at Kara, though as Kara studied her closer, she noticed that those eyes weren’t filled with pity like she thought, instead they showed understanding, much like J’onn and Diana, which Kara was thankful for. 

Just then they noticed Y/N walking over to them, well, mostly Kara, hiding behind her with her head peeking out. Artemis bent down to her height and smiled invitingly at her.

“Y/N say ‘hi’, her name’s Artemis” Kara whispered over to her. Y/N stepped out from behind Kara and smiled that charming little smile of hers before greeting her. 

“Aren’t you just adorable?” Artemis cooed, and though Y/N couldn’t understand much yet, her smile only widened at the attention she was receiving which made them all chuckle. 

 “Why don’t we show you your rooms” Diana offered with a smile. With a nod from Kara, they lead the 3 Kryptonians to each of their rooms. “You can decorate them any way you want, if you’d like we can make a trip to the store tomorrow”. They lead Kara to her room last.

“Thank you, Diana, Artemis. Goodnight” she said with a small smile and a nod before closing the door.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

 Diana was awoken by sobs sounding from down the hall. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and carefully pushed Artemis’ arm off her, silently praying that she wouldn’t wake up as she got up off the bed. She grabbed a robe and wrapped it around herself before making her way down to where the sobs were coming from, which turned out to be Kara’s room.

She couldn’t really be surprised as she was expecting this. During their stay at the Wayne Manor, she noticed Kara mostly focusing on getting a hold of her powers to distract her. She remembered how often she found her in Bruce’s lab in the middle of the night and in early mornings. 

She walked up to the door and knocked softly before slowly pushing the door open and peeking her head through. She found Kara curled up her bed, one of the pillows clutched in her embrace. She immediately made her way to her and sat by Kara, trying to coax her into sitting up. When she did, she brought her into a hug. In an attempt to bring the girl more comfort, she hummed the song her mother always used to sing to her as a child. 

When Kara’s sobs subsided into hiccups and sniffles she pulled her away from her softly. She laid her down onto the bed and brushed the hair away from her face with a sad smile. She knew that this was just the beginning of a long journey of healing for the poor girl. She vowed that she’d be there every step of the way for her.

“Thank you, Diana” Kara whispered in a broken voice, her voice hoarse from crying.

“Anything for you, little one” Diana whispered back. This only brought on a new wave of tears for Kara as her lips wobbled. Diana panicked, not understanding what she did wrong. She tried shushing the girl and whispering her comforting things. 

“My aunt Astra used to call me that” she confessed.

“Oh sweetheart” 

 “It’s fine. I just miss her so much” she answered.

 “Do you want to tell me about her?” Diana asked, receiving a nod in reply as Kara sat up, hugging her knees to her chest and resting her chin on them.

“Her name was Astra Ze. She became head of house when her father, my grandfather, stepped down from the position, and since she was the older twin, the title went to her. She was my mother’s twin, the only way you could tell them apart was by the white streak in aunt Astra’s hair.” Kara said with a sad smile, “She was a high general. I have always admired her. I remember rushing from school to the training grounds each day and watching them train. Eventually, I started bugging her to train me, and I must have eventually wore her down as she started training me on my tenth name day. Oh I remember mother’s exasperation and father’s amusement when I told them she had begun training me” she chuckled, reminiscing. This caused Diana to smile as well, noticing how similar Kara’s aunt was to her aunt Antiope.

 “I used to get so upset whenever she left with her army, so she gave me a spy beacon. It allowed us to send messages to each other, no matter where she was. And when she could, she’d always come when I called for her. And every time she came back home from her travels, she always had something to give me, a souvenir, and she’d tell me all about her trip.” This time Kara’s smile was filled with less sadness and more nostalgia, although the sadness was still lingering.

Diana hummed, “I knew someone like her. Her name was Antiope. Like your aunt Astra, she was a high general.”

“Really?” Kara asked curiously, tilting her head to one side, which Diana noticed she did a lot. It was cute. 

 Diana nodded, a fond, nostalgic smile on her face. “She was my aunt too. She was the one who taught me to fight to. She is one of the reasons I am who I am today. My mother never wanted me to learn how to fight, you see, so she was furious when she found me and Antiope training in one of the gardens that no one visited much” she chuckled.

“But were you people not warrior women?” Kara inquired, both confused and curious.

“They were. But that is a story for another time, sweet one” Diana said. She smiled, tucking Kara into bed. Before she left, she placed a kiss on her forehead after whispering a soft “Goodnight”. She exited the room, leaving the door slightly ajar.

She was met in the hallway by Artemis, who had a soft smile on her face. She walked up to her and embraced her, Artemis returning. 

“Is Kara alright, love?” 

“She’s healing.”

“Then we’ll help her, in whatever way she needs us to” Artemis smiled. And there Diana’s heart melted, the woman never ceasing to amaze her as she fell even more in love with her. She gave her a quick kiss before leading her back to their bedroom for the night.

Love Despite Imperfections

Tim Drake & Batmom Story! 

A/N: So this was formerly, ‘He Might Not Be Perfect, But She Loved Him Anyway’, but I thought the title could be changed to this, so I did! Enjoy! -Thorne <3

There were three words he never wanted to hear from her mouth. Three simple words, but three words that carried the weight of her judgement farther than any lesson Bruce could ever teach him. It’s partially what drove him to be the perfect son in her eyes, even though he knew she had no standard for perfect. Those three words came out of her mouth that night, and ever since then, he couldn’t stop replaying the scene in his mind.

Earlier Tonight:

           He stood beside Lucius, smiling and chatting to one of the corporate leaders from Metropolis. Negotiations had gone smoothly, and he’d scored Wayne Enterprises three new subsidiaries; it also gave them reason to throw the giant party they were at. He gave a final goodbye to the corporate leader and scanned the ballroom, looking for his parents; he found them a few seconds later, standing near the bar talking to Clark and Lois. He glanced at Lucius and spoke quietly. “I’m going to check on mom and dad.” Lucius nodded.

           “I’ll be here Tim.” He nodded and made his way over, occasionally stopping to say hello to the WE employees. Eventually, he walked up on the two couples; she was the first to notice, turning to him with a dazzling grin on her face.

           “Timmy.” He grinned at her as she reached over, pulling him into a hug. His arms wrapped around her waist and he squeezed lightly.

           “Hey mom.” She pulled back and reached up, cupping his cheek.

           “I’m so proud of you baby.” A soft pink tinged his cheeks and he shrugged.

           “It wasn’t anything super big mom. Just a few subsidiaries.” Her response was cut off by Bruce who rested a hand on the back of his neck.

           “Are you kidding me Tim? You literally brought in fifty million into the company, just by adding in these three subsidiaries.” He smiled lightly and glanced at Clark and Lois.

           “Mr. and Mrs. Kent. Good to see you.” Tim stuck out a hand, watching Clark take it with a smile.

           “You can call us Clark and Lois, Tim. It won’t hurt our feelings.” That brought out a chuckle from everyone and (Y/N) turned back to Tim.

           “Are you enjoying yourself?” Tim nodded and looked around.

           “Tonight, was more of a success party than a gala. There’s not a lot of press here to cover the story.” Bruce nodded at that.

           “I didn’t want all the press in your party tonight.” Tim looked around once more before turning to (Y/N).

           “Where’s the others?” She shrugged and sipped her champagne.

           “Dick and Jason went off to raid the buffet table, and Damian and Jon were around a few minutes ago.”

           “So, the demon-spawn and his super went off to explore?” (Y/N) looked at Tim and raised an eyebrow until Tim mumbled, “Sorry.”

           “I think the two of them went to Damian’s room. But I’m actually betting they went to the game room and are currently playing Cheese Viking.” Everyone laughed at her assumption and she smiled at Tim. “I am proud of you Timmy. You’ve taken on a lot at WE and managed not to collapse under it.” He snorted at her words.

           “I don’t know, it’s been hard. I really had to work at it.” (Y/N) raised an eyebrow and questioned,

           “Really?” Tim shook his head and deadpanned,

           “No not really.” The two of them chuckled and she reached out, hugging him again.

           “I love you baby.” A smile graced his face and he replied,

           “I love you too mom.” She pulled back once more and patted his shoulder.

           “Go enjoy the party Timmy. It’s for you anyway.” He nodded and turned to the others, saying his goodbye before walking off. He hadn’t even made it ten feet when he felt him come up beside him; he turned and glared at him.

           “What do you want Damian?” Damian smirked and crossed his arms.

           “Nothing.” Tim raised an eyebrow and leaned back.

           “Then why are you standing beside me?”

           “No reason.”

           “What did you do?” Damian shrugged and looked around.

           “I haven’t done a thing.”

           “That’s bullshit.”

           “Perhaps. But you will never know.” Tim stared at him for a few seconds before grunting and walking off, not in the mood to deal with Damian tonight. He got about five feet away before a taunting voice called out behind him. “They say they are proud of you for achieving what you have. But have you ever considered the fact that this was expected of you?” Tim stopped dead in his tracks and turned around.

           “Excuse me?”

           “Umi and Father expect a level of perfection and demand from us. What you’ve achieved was merely something they expected you to do.” Tim knew he was being baited, but he couldn’t help himself.

           “And I’m assuming you’ve got something better?” Damian smiled smugly, something that sent waves of anger through him.

           “We could paint a picture of the things I have that are better than you Drake. Father’s blood, for starters.” The low blow hurt Tim, but Damian kept going. “And more, Umi’s love.” Tim raised an eyebrow as he crossed his arms.

           “And what makes you think that mom doesn’t love me?”

           “Because you aren’t her favorite.”

           “For what reasons?”

           “Umi clearly has favorites Tim. And you aren’t it.” Tim swallowed his anger, clenching his jaw and spat,

           “Of the two of us here, we both know who mom’s favorite is.” He stepped forward and got in Damian’s face, his voice dark. “And while it might not be me…it sure as hell isn’t you, problem child.” Damian’s eyes widened a fraction and Tim felt a surge of satisfaction at it as he turned and began walking away. He hadn’t even moved a foot when he felt something slam into his back; it sent him hurdling to the floor, and the next thing he knew, fists were flying at him. Tim rolled onto his back, bringing his hands up to block Damian’s punches. No words were said, but he could feel the fury radiating off Damian as he blocked another punch, throwing one back at him. They rolled on the floor for a good minute until strong arms pulled the two of them apart; Tim thrashed until someone’s voice reached his ear.

           “Tim! Tim stop!” He halted and glanced up, seeing Jason staring at him alarmed; his gaze moved over and saw Damian being held in a grip by Dick. Tim’s arms dropped to his sides, and Jason let him go. Then, Tim felt eyes on him, and he realized the ballroom had gone completely silent; he glanced around, seeing the shocked looks on everyone’s faces. His eyes kept moving until he came upon (Y/N) and Bruce, who were too stunned to even move from their positions; Bruce’s gaze he could deal with, but (Y/N)’s was unbearable. A second passed, and he heard the clack of heels coming their way; he looked up and saw (Y/N) storming over, a seething look on her face. She stood in front of them, and Tim opened his mouth to apologize.

           “Mom I-” He was cut off as she rebuked him angrily.

           “Zip it.” He shut his mouth and she glanced between him and Damian. “Both of you to the study. Now.” They obeyed, following in a single file line towards the study, the crowd parting for them; she glanced at Dick and Jason and murmured, “Help your dad settle this please.” They nodded and watched her walk behind Tim and Damian.

           The door to the study slammed shut and she pointed to the couch. “Damian. Sit on the end of the couch. Tim, the other.” They sat down and she stood in front of them, her arms crossed as she tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for Bruce. A few moments later, he stepped into the room, Dick, Jason, and Alfred following. Bruce stepped beside her and she let them have it. “Are you two out of your fucking minds?” Their eyes widened at the curse, taking in the note that she was truly angry. Also, Jason’s minor, ‘oh she’s mad-mad’ made it clear that she was. “I cannot believe the two of you would do something like this in public. Patrol is one thing. Your faces are obscured. But in public? Where pictures and videos can be taken? The both of you have really stirred shit up in the pot this time.” Damian opened his mouth to defend himself, but she pointed at him. “I don’t want to hear a word come out of your mouth young man.” His lips pursed and he nodded, then she turned to Bruce. “They’re off patrol for a month.” He nodded and she turned back to them. “For a month, you two will neither go on patrol or step foot in the cave. You will go to school, any after-school activities, work, and you will come straight home. You will also write apology letters to the higher ups of the company WE just signed with and apologize for your horrendous behavior. Am I clear?” They nodded, but Damian spoke up.

           “What are we to do for the whole month we are ‘grounded’?” (Y/N) turned to Alfred and nodded.

           “I’m sure Alfred can find work for you two to do. This manor is big enough for it.”

           “That isn’t fair Umi!”

           “No what isn’t fair is the fact that you two have embarrassed not only Bruce and I, but yourselves.” (Y/N) gestured between them. “What the hell were you two fighting about anyways?” Silence enveloped them and (Y/N) crossed her arms. “I asked a question and I expect someone to answer it.” The two of them glanced at each other before Tim sighed and mumbled,

           “Damian insulted me.”

           “And it’s something new?” She paused and turned to Damian. “What did you say?” He was silent a few seconds before murmuring,

           “I said…that his achievements were expected of him.”

           “And?”

           “…And that he wasn’t…that he wasn’t loved because he wasn’t father’s blood…or your favorite.” (Y/N) went quiet at his confession, then she faced Tim.

           “Damian didn’t jump you until you said something back to him.” She tipped her head back a little. “What did you say to him?” Tim swallowed thickly before whispering,

           “That even if I wasn’t your favorite, he wasn’t either.” Damian pointed at Tim and blurted out.

           “He called me a problem child too!” (Y/N) raised a hand, effectively silencing him; she stared at them for a while, and the longer she did, the more Tim squirmed under her gaze, ashamed of the weight. After a few minutes, she inhaled deeply and wore a sad look as she uttered,

           “Shame on you.” Their eyes widened at her words as she continued. “Shame on you two for fighting over something this ridiculous.” She turned to Damian. “Just because Bruce is your biological father, it does not make you any more or any less his son than any of your brothers. He loves you the same as Dick, Jason, and Tim, blood or no.” She paused and faced Tim. “What you said to Damian was cruel.” She pointed to herself. “I have no favorites. I love each of you equally. And you four damn sure know that.” Her hand lowered and she looked between them. “I’ve given you your punishments. Go to your rooms.” They were silent as they rose from the couch, moving to the door and to their rooms. Tim had stopped at his door, sensing Damian pass behind him on his way to his room, and Tim looked at the back of Damian’s head before shaking his and going into his room.

A Month Later:

           It was the first night since they’d been grounded that they could finally go back on patrol, and they were ecstatic to go. Damian had already gone off with Dick, speaking animatedly about something involving a bank heist they were going to stop. Tim on the other hand was still lingering in the cave, apprehensive to go out. He stood at the Batcomputer, fiddling with his gauntlet before a low voice caught his attention. “Your mother isn’t angry with you anymore.” He looked up in shock at Bruce who wore a firm look. “She got over being angry at you two the day after the party.” Tim looked away murmuring,

           “She seemed like she was still angry.”

           “Disappointed is the better word.” Tim let out a quiet sigh.

           “I’d much rather have her anger than her disappointment.” He paused and looked at Bruce. “Anger is easy to wade through. But disappointment? That sits in your bones for a long time.” Bruce nodded and rested a hand on his shoulder, squeezing gently.

           “She loves you Tim. More than anything in this world.” He squeezed again. “You make her proud every day.” Bruce let go and began walking towards the Batmobile but stopped and spun back around. “And I love you too, son.” He gave Tim a small smile and hopped in the Batmobile, taking off and leaving Tim to his thoughts.

           He finished his quadrant early that night, and sat on the ledge of a building, watching the city go by. He could go back to the cave and start cold cases. He could even call Conner and have him come over and hang out. But something drew him to WE, and he stood up, making his way over the rooftops in its direction. He came up on it and grappled his way up to Bruce’s office. His hands gripped the railing and he clambered over, walking towards the door; he disabled the security and stepped inside, scanning the room. His eyes feel on a figure stretched out on the couch on the other side of the room, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was (Y/N). He knelt beside her and placed a hand on his shoulder, gently nudging her. “Mom…mom…mom.” (Y/N) jerked, rolling over and raising her hands until Tim came into view, then she dropped them; she sat up slightly, rubbing her eyes and murmuring,

           “What are you doing here baby?” Tim sat on the edge of the couch and pulled back his cowl.

           “Came to check on some things in the office. I didn’t realize you were here…I thought you were at home.” (Y/N) hummed, shaking her head.

           “The new subsidiaries needed new contracts for their workers, so I’ve been pulling some late nights to write them up.” Tim nodded and glanced at the computer.

           “Everything coming out alright?” She nodded replied,

           “I just have to proofread the last one before I send them to your dad so he can look them over.” They went silent, and after a few seconds (Y/N) said, “You hungry?” Tim looked at her and nodded.

           “Now that you ask, I am.” (Y/N) rose from the couch, stopping and stretching before walking to the bar and picking up a pizza box.

           “It’s a little cold, but there’s pizza.” Tim nodded and she motioned to the ceiling. “Wanna go sit up on the roof and watch the city?” He smiled and rose from the couch, following her into the elevator. It rose to the top and they walked out onto the roof, sitting down on the ledge and flipping open the box. They both picked up a piece and tapped them together before eating. “Any problems tonight?” Tim swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head.

           “Nothing I couldn’t handle.”

           “What happened?”

           “Two-Face and his goons were hitting one of the banks.” (Y/N) stopped mid-bite and turned to him, a look of shock etched onto her face.

           “You…took them all out by yourself?” He nodded and she pointed at him. “As your mom saying this, that was incredibly dangerous and reckless. Don’t do that again unless you have help. Understand?” Tim lowered his head and nodded, then a hand gently rested on his head; he looked up to see (Y/N) grinning at him. “But as a former vigilante…you made me proud.” Tim broke into a smile as his heart lightened and (Y/N) pulled back her hand and rested it on his hand. “You know I’m not angry with you about that night anymore…right?” Tim went silent for a few moments before nodding.

           “Dad told me you weren’t.” (Y/N) nodded and turned to face him.

           “I’ve already talked to Damian about that night. Now I need to talk to you about it.” Tim looked at her and waited for her to continue; it took her a few minutes, and when she did, her voice was soft. “Do you know why Bruce and I never had any kids?” Tim’s eyes widened and he shook his head. “…A couple years after Bruce and I started dating, we were driving along a road when we were hit by drunk driver…my side took the impact.” She paused and sucked in a breath. “We both survived impact, but on closer inspection of the damage, a piece of metal had lodged itself into my lower abdomen. We were rushed to the hospital and were put into surgery. They were able to save my life…but at the expense of my uterus…which had been shredded beyond repair by the metal in the accident.” (Y/N) swallowed and cleared her throat. “Bruce and I drifted on ice for a few months, not wanting to hurt each other. But one night, we decided to go to couples’ therapy and try to get some help.” She glanced a Tim and gave a small smile. “That day turned into a night, and we found ourselves at Haly’s Circus.” Tim’s eyes widened and he whispered,

           “Where…” (Y/N) nodded.

           “Where we met our first son. Though at the time, he wasn’t.” (Y/N) sighed and scooted closer. “I never had the chance to bring children of my own into this world. And where I sometimes wish I had been able to…that I wish I still could…” (Y/N) glanced a Tim and brought a hand to his face, cupping his cheek and whispering, “I wouldn’t trade the boys I’ve been given for anything in this world.” Tears began to swim in Tim’s vision, and he lowered his head. “I’ve been given four of the most amazing sons to ever have been birthed on this planet, and I love each of them more anything.” Her other hand reached out, gently taking his chin and she tilted his head up until he looked at her, tears still running down his cheeks. “I love my sons so much that I would die for them. I love my sons so much that I would willing give my life for them. I love my sons so much that no one could ever take their places.” Tim couldn’t form words he was crying too hard, and (Y/N) reached out, wrapping her arms around him. He buried his face in her shoulder and sobbed; (Y/N) brought a hand up, caressing the back of his head as she shushed him, tears of her own dripping down her cheeks. After a few minutes, (Y/N) pulled back and cupped his face in her hands, her thumbs wiping the tears away as she murmured, “Each son that has come into our home has been loved and is loved.” (Y/N) squeezed his cheeks gently. “I love you Timmy. And all I’ve ever been of you is proud. You got that?” He nodded and she smiled, leaning forward and pressing a kiss to his forehead. “I love you.” He opened his eyes and gave her a wobbly smile as he whispered,

           “I love you too mom.” They stared at each other for a few seconds before (Y/N) patted his cheeks.

           “Now that we’ve had our boohoo fest and talk…let’s go home and re-watch Game of Thrones.” Tim grinned as they rose from the ledge; they began walking and he nudged her in the side.

           “So…mom.” (Y/N) eyed him.

           “So…Tim.”

           “How do you feel about Bran sitting on the Iron Throne?” He laughed as (Y/N) walked off, her hands raised in the air.

           “WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ENDING! IT DOESN’T EXIST!”

           The three words that came out of her mouth at the party, hurt him to hear them. But the three words she told him tonight meant more to him than anything in the world. And Tim remembered one very important thing…he might not always be the perfect son…but his mom loved him anyway.

What does Bruce think of Kory?

Y’know, tbh, I don’t think we’ve ever really found out? Not in depth, anyway. For the most part, Dick and Kory’s relationship largely took place during Dick’s time in the Titans when DC was making an effort to keep Dick out of the Batfranchise and more identified as the face of the Titans. From an in-universe perspective, that means it largely took place during the years Dick and Bruce had very little contact due to their We’re Not Really Talking Right Now thing. 

And then Dick and Kory did briefly get back together during their time on the Outsiders but tbh I don’t really like to focus on that too much because I don’t think the way the writers went about it was at all in character for either of them or at all took into account a huge portion of their previous relationship. And it was played as this ‘we’re just keeping this casual’ thing as though they both hadn’t walked away from their engagement with mountains of mutual heartache or like they’d ever been remotely capable of being casual with each other in the first place.

But then again, that’s kinda what happens when you have an editorial staff that says things like “sure, you can put Dick and Kory back together but not for like, for REAL real, cuz Dick’s going to have to go back to the Batbooks eventually and you know we can’t have metas in Gotham cuz we like it when Batman says no metas in Gotham and okay so technically Dick lives in Bludhaven - wait, hold on - hey, Ed says we blew up Bludhaven. When did we do that?”

So anyway, I honestly don’t recall Bruce and Kory ever interacting much more than briefly in passing during big events, and the times Dick and Bruce did interact while he was with Kory were like....infamously ‘avoiding all personal topics at all costs up to and including the pain of death, no seriously, we might die, that could probably kill us’ kinds of conversations.

(Course, that’s never stopped certain parts of fandom from writing extensive headcanons and meta about how Dick never even invited Bruce to his wedding on account of he’s a Bad Son and that has nothing to do with Bruce being a less than stellar father who hadn’t reached out to him or tried to like, treat him as a son since he fired him and Dick left home at seventeen. See, because that last bit’s a retcon and retcon’s aren’t real, aka Bruce would obviously dote on Kory and love her and would have been overjoyed to go to Dick’s wedding if Dick hadn’t insisted on being such an obstinate douche about like, having self-worth and stuff.)

BUT ANYWAY.

Personally, I’m of the opinion that if Dick and Bruce HAD ever really talked about Kory when Dick was dating her, it would have gone something like this:

Bruce: Hrn. No metas in Gotham. No exceptions. Can’t trust metas. They always make a mess and are bad at doing what I say when I’m being right and they’re being dumb. Rrr. Bah humbug metas, bah humbug.

Dick: Yeah, I’m calling from New York, Bruce, not 1-800-Did-I-Ask. But hey, while we’re on the subject of metas, have you confessed your undying and totally top-secret love for Clark and/or Diana yet?

Bruce: How did you know about that.

Dick: You briefly emoted in Clark’s presence once when I was ten. Dead giveaway.

Egoistic: Bruce Wayne x Reader

I foolishly adjusted to you and it’s torturing me

Making me lonely till the end

-          Egoistic: Mamamoo

Bruce Wayne, the notorious philanthropist, and playboy in the city of Gotham. The man that captured hearts of many and had bedded some of a few. A man of power and looks as he is not only a wise man but a total lady killer as well.

Then came he alters ego, none other than the Dark Knight himself, Batman. A hero he calls himself yet he does the most despicable things to every villain he encounters. He embosses cruelty and violence that he knows that will strike fear to every dirt lingering in his city.

Only a few people know that these only masked. Specifically two people. Alfred Pennyworth: The Wayne Family Butler and Y/n L/n: The Childhood Best friend.

There was also Selina Kyle, but she cannot really penetrate his wall. Yet.

What she and Bruce had been considerably more than just a fling. They had their nights together as they let themselves lost in their desires. And the man seems to not mind at all as he is starting to consider the woman as the only person who understands him. The man was truly and Egoist.

Too encased with the idea that he was a man who lost everything. A man who wants to rid the society of its parasites and pest. A hero equipped with the most convenient ways to help people of Gotham. And he had a perfect companion in his goals, Cat woman. Although a criminal but Selina did things for the good, well most of the time.

     Y/n was nothing compared to Selina. The moment the woman entered her best friend’s life, it was she never existed in Bruce’s life. The way she would break with every conversation they would have about the said vixen vigilante made her blood boil and heartbreak all the time. But what can she do?

“What can I do?” Y/n mumbled to herself as she stood before Wayne mansion.

The skies thundered, heavy droplets of rain drizzled endlessly that night. Flashes of lightning gave glimpses of her peripherals from the metal fences, the shrubbery. She cast her eyes upward and from her spot, she had a perfect view of his bedroom window. The light was on in his room. She saw a silhouette of two figures inside before the light disappeared and so did the breath from her lips.

It was one of those nights where Selina would come home with Bruce from his patrol. Another night of sheer bliss from both of them. And another night of torment for Y/n.

           Eyes never leaving the same window, Y/n remained in her spot as the rain continue to drench her from head to toe. Droplets of water missing with the salty ones that slid along her cheeks from her glassy eyes. The pattering of rain was being accompanied by small sounds of light sobs.

           And from that night, she vowed. That this will be the last time Bruce Wayne will make her cry.

^^^^^^

           It’s been a couple of years now. Bruce has seen his best friend who left him with nothing but a letter of confession. At first, he was oblivious of his best friend’s disappearance until one day he asked his trusty butler to why the sudden absence of woman. Alfred replied with silence before handing his master an envelope.

           There is a saying where in order for someone to realize their feelings for that person is for them to lose that said person. And that he just did.

           The closest person he considers as a family had gone off somewhere after verbatim-ly confessing in a letter that she can no longer resist that pain she has to feels upon seeing him in bed with another. And it was made more difficult years later when he realizes that there were still differences between him and Selina. She can handle publicity, unlike Y/n who handles everything for Bruce.

           It was hard to function for him for a while before he met Dick.

           Bruce is now as at a party, Mayor Garcia had somewhat called up all people from around to for the ball. Of course him being a big shot, it would almost seem impossible for him to not be invited. With that opportunity, he brought his son’s along with him yet they all went to separate directions later after a few minutes of entering the venue.

           The party had an unknown purpose as the said leader of the city stated that it was just another celebration.

           Damian Wayne was keeping himself occupied by marveling all the pieces that seem to be sponsored at the party.

           “An Obra Maestra in my opinion. Maybe I should get one for my room or maybe two?” the young Wayne boy stared at work with utmost admiration and respect. He was entranced by each stroke on every canvass, hook, line, and sinker. The colors working along with the movements and directions. There was something aggressive with each one that Damian cannot explain.

           Soon he came through an empty hall, littered with more canvasses. Each art contained different messages now but he could tell the artist was still the same person.

           Although he was rather drowned out with admiring one particular piece where it was a portrait of a Sabertooth sitting in a calm meadow with a Robin fluttered upon its snout. Both animals didn’t show any discomfort but rather a pinch of sparks fly. “You like art?”

           Damian didn’t turn as he was still engrossed with the painting mumbled small ‘Yeah’.

           Y/n smiled, her eyes from the boy turned to the painting hung on the wall. “What do you think this piece talks about?” The boy still didn’t turn his gaze away from the painting but manage to muster a reply.

           “It tells about a Robin that had fallen with a Predator.” Y/n hummed, “How do you know it’s a love story kid?” Damian’s green eyes sparkled with curiosity as he analyzed the said piece. “I don’t but I like to think that the Robin had fallen for the predator due to admiration on how well she hunts her prey.” Y/n’s head flicked to the left, lips curling to a smile.

           “A debatable answer.” She chuckled.

           “I’ll take this one to my room. Do you know anyone here I could talk to about buying this piece? I am somewhat very fond of it.” Damian spun her head to the direction of his company. Y/n only smiled at him.

           “I guess I do.”

           “Good, will you take me to him?”

           “SHE is right in front of you darling.”

^^^^^^^

     “Fancy seeing you here Clark?”

     The disguised man of steel took Bruce’s extended hand. “Well, it’s just that my agency heard of a big occasion here and nothing really special but they still sent me anyway just in case.” Bruce eyed the small notepad and pen on his one hand. “Still working on a weekend?”

Clark on raised his shoulder to a shrug before a short pause.

“You alone?” The blue-eyed man shook his head. “I’m with the boys, they’re out there somewhere. Maybe drinking their asses out or something.” Clark nodded in reply.

     “Hello, Good Evening everyone.”

Clark and Bruce turns to the podium where the leader of Gotham city now stood.

“I know some of you are still questioning why I invited you all here. In a very normal party. I think many of you notice the setting.”

“Bruce.”

The said the male’s attention was taken by his eldest who was accompanied by his other two siblings. “Dick, Tim, Jason. I’m surprised you’ve found me. Where’s Damian?” the three looked at each other, brows furrowed.

“The Painting exhibited on the walls are sponsored by a surprise guess tonight. I know some of you have been eyeing some pieces of our liking but sadly they are not yet for release.”

“We thought he was with you.” A surge of worry climbed through Bruce’s bile a bit.

“Don’t worry too much, Bruce. I’m sure he’s just around here somewhere.”

“Now I would like to present to all of you the mind of all the masterpieces spread across all of you. I must say I was rather excited when she had finally accepted our invitation. And our guest was generous enough to have all her works be the highlight of this event since we’ve been aiming to have an Artistic type of setting.”

All attention finally was to the speaker on the front Bruce and his sons were still quite occupied to where the youngest was. “Clark would you mind keeping an eye out to where my son is.” Of course, the man agreed.

Still occupied, Bruce kept turning his head every five minutes in hopes of spotting the jaded eyed boy.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you. The Artiste Visionnaire of France. The Famous 21st Century Art Critique Maîtresse. Painter and Ex-Marine Sergeant;

Madamoiselle Y/n M/n L/n.”

At the moment, everything had stopped for Bruce. The familiarity of the name that should have been long forgotten in the back of his mind rang like he had heard the name like yesterday.

“Wow, who would’ve thought that I could hit a jackpot tonight? Y/n is a big name in the industry. Have you ever seen such and influencing woman- Bruce?” With air caught in-between spaces of his throat, he can’t form any type of reply.

His eyes watched from the edge of the stage, a good ten feet from the podium where the Mayor stood. He awaited the familiar petite frame of a woman that he remembers that likes to dress into big skirts and conservative tops. The same woman that he had come to realize to be his only one.

And with no denial, a woman did emerge from the side. But not in the said attire he had thought as he almost didn’t recognize that it was a woman. The person emerges wearing a very prestigious and recent collection Dolce and Gabbana. It was a suit, the type where big businessmen would wear. It was tailored from a very expensive satin called satin-jacquard. The satin suit glowed in its canary yellow hue that lights from every chandelier allowed it glimmer a lot more. Like the person walking in them was wearing gold. And along the satin suit was loitering designs of floral in dominating shades of reds and greens.

“Y/n…” It was her.

Yet he felt different from her. Like he was somewhat culture shocked. The woman who never failed to show femininity to the crowd is now walking before him in the most expensive suit somewhat only she could pull off. Eyes held no type of emotion but stoniness.

Bruce watch each of her strides towards the podium. Poise. Just poise.

He described that moment as if she was the most feminine of the feminine yet masculine of the most masculine.

As she arrived by the podium, facing the seemingly endless crowd of elites. He didn’t miss the moment her eyes found his.

So, it's Clark's 10 year High School Reunion and he needs a date bc of the usual spiel (was bullied and wants to show up ex bullies? to prove something? ex bringing their totally hot new beau? want to show everyone that he’s totally not pathetic?)

So, he asks Bruce to be his date and pretend they’re dating without fully realizing what that entails (bc really if u wanna show up your ex classmates at a reunion,  bringing a super famous and handsome billionaire is a bit overkill yeah?, like bringing an army to a knife fight)

What they both don’t know is they’re both harboring feelings for each other, u know the romantic kind. Clark doesn’t  know why he asked and also freaking out because Bruce said yes. Bruce knew he should have said no but he can’t say no to Clark.

When they arrive together everyone is totally FLOORED! Why is Bruce Wayne in the middle of nowhere Kansas? So, you know people are trying to flirt it up with Bruce even when he says he's with Clark. And this grates on Clark’s nerves so bad as well as Bruce’s (but Clark doesn’t know that)

To solve the problem Bruce decides to ham up the whole we're a couple, we're in love, you might find us fucking under the bleacher later routine, and Clark can't cope. He's both in heaven and hell simultaneously. He’s asking the gods why they’ve done to him. He’s a good person, he doesn’t deserve Bruce just casually dropping a kiss to his temple and holding his hands.

Bruce is on the same boat, less crisis more broody. He’s thinking I deserve this pain and suffering. I have caused this and oh my god why am I still doing the things I am doing??? I’m being so obvious and Clark’s going to notice that my feelings are kinda real and he’s going to be weird about it.

So, they go to the whole thing and feelings and blushing and making out under the bleachers!!!! But still no love confession???? Insane! Ridiculous! Dumb Boys Are Dumb!

The ending is they’re going back to the farm on Clark’s pick up when it decides to stall and they sit on the bed of the truck and they watched the stars and then they make their confessions and THEY’LL MAKE OUT some more!

They get the truck to start back up, go home to the farm, and Martha was just under the impression they’ve been together since forever. And they just go with it instead of explaining because that’d be real embarrassing.

#superbat #this might be a semi-fanfic #it has all the makings of a fic without the actual writing it #hooray!

Twined Together

They both reflect on their capes. Clark may have a slight obsession. Bruce has a memory he can't forget. And they're both undeniably in love with each other.

Prompt 1: Capes. Some contemplation with a little plot thrown in I guess. This just had a mind of its own.

Posted on AO3

Written for: @superbatbigbang Day 1: capes

When he thinks about it, their capes are representative of the rest of their costumes and their roles on the battlefield. Batman’s cape is midnight black, perfect for blending into the shadows, its silky blackness smooths out his silhouette, and the curved edges actually do a decent impression of a bat whenever he swoops through the night. Meanwhile Superman’s cape is bright and bold, ideal for attracting attention, emphasizes the broadness of his shoulders, enhancing his presence, and its soft folds both protects him from harm and helps him cradle the injured.

And maybe it’s those differences and their symbolic nature, but Clark can’t help but appreciate the image of the capes together. Especially when they are twined together, like their lives have been since they first met. Sometimes, when fighting back to back in a fray, Kal can feel the silkiness of Batman’s cape against the back of his legs and can’t help but grin, knowing their capes are joined together once more.

He has to be careful at work because Lois has caught him admiring a picture of the two of them together one too many times and is now well known for his obsession with the two heros. That wasn’t exactly wrong concerning Batman (for obvious reasons, the man is incredible) but it was incredibly awkward being accused of being obsessed with his own alter ego. He’s not some kind of narcissist. He still couldn’t help pausing to admire pictures in the newspaper, but was careful to bring them home at the end of the day to observe them in greater detail.

Somehow, this didn’t stop the rumors and only lead to him collecting a scrapbook of images of them together. Now the only thing he can do is hope that Bruce never finds it, which is probably a lost cause against the World’s Greatest Detective. He’s going to get teased about this forever, isn’t he? 

It would be worth it if it would finally make Bruce take his confessions seriously. Four confessions and he still thinks Clark is joking. Or using that as an excuse not to answer. Some might say to give up at this point, and be thankful it hadn’t negatively affected their friendship, but Clark knew Bruce. He will have to win him over with the same stubborn persistence it had taken to gain his friendship in the first place. Hopefully they would one day have the same intimate relationship as their capes did.

---

Batman never thought he’d be reduced to becoming emotional over a scrap of red cloth. That stupidly bright color was in direct contrast to his own and was almost absurdly eye-catching, like the bright-smiled hero who wears it. While his own was highly functional, helping him blend into the shadows, blocking against debris and smoke, obscuring his form, Superman’s cape seemed more decoration than anything else. The only thing it seemed to do, besides emphasising the breadth of his (impressive) shoulders, was block people from being able to see his (shapely) ass. Not that he had ever tried looking of course.

The only redeeming thing about it was its softness. Admittedly, he had never noticed that specific property until a certain incident a few years ago. He had miscalculated how long it would take to disarm a bomb and ended up being caught in the blast. The next thing he knew he was being cradled by incredibly soft, warm, and oddly familiar-looking red cloth. He quickly realized that he was being carried swiftly through the air by a pair of arms, held tightly against a muscular chest. The most overwhelming feeling besides the softness was the warmth of the person carrying him.

Luckily he quickly recovered from the shock of the explosion before he did something stupid, like nussle against the man he instinctively recognized as Superman. But the damage was done. Now he couldn’t look at that cape the same way again. He would find himself staring at it, wondering if is as soft and warm as he remembers. What it would be like to be tucked inside it once again, safe and warm, preferably in the arms of its owner.

Speaking of the Boyscout, there he was again, no doubt trying to wanting to talk with him alone. And judging by the expression on his face, Bruce was no doubt going to be confessed to for the sixth time. He had been sure that it would end soon if he didn’t acknowledge it. He would either realize he was mistaken or that it wasn’t worth it, trying to be in a relationship with him. Many had given up early even without the knowledge that he was Batman.

But here he was, many failed attempts later and now Bruce had no choice but to admit that he was both persistent and telling the truth. Kal-El, a Kansas-raised sweet-smiling alien superhero actually loved him. And maybe it was finally time to do something with that knowledge.

---

When they woke up the next morning and saw their capes twined together around them, they both knew they couldn’t be happier.

Batman #50

Why is this an anniversary issue? Does DC not know how years work? Or weddings?

Fact: Snickers' vampires grow their canine teeth in the wrong place. No wait. The fact is the artist of this piece is a dolt.

The story begins with Kite Man getting the crap kicked out of him by Batman and Catwoman because Tom King's hard on for Kite Man is legendary. It's so big and thick and veiny! I wonder what part of Kite Man Tom King likes best? Is it the kite part? Or the man part? Batman and Catwoman decide to get married on the blood spot where Kite Man was defeated at the break of day. Because that's when bats and cats are most horny. It might also be the place least likely to have a Joker ruin it. "Isn't it 'the' Joker, Grunion Guy?" you probably aren't now asking. But if you were, I might have to remind you that there are three Jokers in the DC Universe. Nobody has really elaborated on that too much. Maybe nobody was ever meant to. Perhaps it's just an easy way for DC editors to answer huge nerd critics of their comics. Huge Nerd Critic: "How come the Joker wasn't act...." DC Editor: "THERE ARE THREE OF THEM! CHRIST YOU NERDS ARE GETTING ON MY LAST TIT!" Batman finds a judge for the marriage ceremony. His name is Wolfman and he's known as the Raping Judge. Not because he's into rape! That's a terrible thought and nobody should think it. It's because he's named after Marv Wolfman who is totally into rape. Catwoman's witness for the marriage (her and Batman each get to bring one) is Holly Robinson. Not the Holly Robinson of 21 Jumpstreet fame (is she still famous for that? Or is she famous for marrying Barry Sanders?!) but the one that murdered all of those people who Catwoman was blamed for murdering. She has to break her out of Arkham for the experience. Batman should be totally cool with that and definitely won't be thinking, "What the hell?! How many times do I have to tell her, 'No crime! Bad kitty! You're going to be punished for sure!'" Then he'll think about her whip and smirk a bit and think, "Oh yeah. I see why she keeps doing crime now." If you read that last paragraph and began developing a hot take on what I'm not saying around the words I am saying, just stop now. I'm just reporting what Batman was probably thinking. I'm not agreeing with his need to control Catwoman's thoughts and actions! That's all Bruce Wayne, baby! The issue is made up of a lot of pin-ups by various artists. Laid out over the pin-ups are Batman and Catwoman's words. They're probably their vows but since I'm not done reading, that's just a guess. Anyway, the layout, where everything is kind of a mirror of the opposite page, is pure Tom King which probably pissed off all the Tom King haters. "He's just repeating everything in that way that means nothing except he's trying to be smarter than us! Why the fuck does he have to use form?! And tones?! And theme!? What's wrong with Batman punching stuff for eight pages straight?! So obnoxious!" I began this review with the joke that the wedding obviously won't work out. This is comic books. Everybody read that initial paragraph and rolled their eyes and thought, "Yeah. We know this is a huge farce. It's going to end in disaster." But how many of you thought, "Grunion Guy probably really means what he's writing here. The big fag." First off, such language! Come on, imaginary reader. Be better! Second, I did mean it. I do mean it. I really hope that Tom King surprises us and he allows Batman and Catwoman to be happily married. Why not for as long as he's writing this book? Why can't they have part of their middle story be one where they get the joy of being together? Who is that going to harm?! So now you know my secret. No, not that I'm a big fag! Sheesh. You people are terrible. I mean, yeah, that's my secret! But I wouldn't word it that way, you gross jerks. Selina and Bruce have their big wedding kiss in the exact middle of the book which can't be a good sign for how it's going to end. I mean, they haven't had the wedding yet! They just get all dressed up and then meet, right in the middle, right there on the staples (okay, not exactly because the staples come the page before. But I blame an error in the layout of the advertisements. I see what you were trying to do, Tom King. I got you!). The big loving embrace. The big kiss in their wedding finery. The moment they knew was coming. And hopefully not the last moment they were happy. Don't you dare, Tom King, with your shitty mirror image story telling that everybody hates (I mean, not me! Just the dumb critics!), do that mirror thing with this story. Don't you begin hopeful, get to a middle that's the peak of happiness, and then descend into chaos, despair, and destruction! DON'T YOU FUCKING DO IT, TOM KING!

This is the page immediately after the big kiss (and the pin-ups, of course! Every two page spread of story is followed by two pages of pin-ups and wedding vows). Things are already tumbling down the story's climactic peak!

Of course Alfred is Batman's witness. Even Alfred knew it would be him but he was too polite to assume so he still gets emotional when Bruce asks him. Or, rather, casually tells him like it's no big deal. On the subject of the pin-ups: they tell the story of Batman and Catwoman across DC's history. It even feels like, in many cases, they use artists chronologically along the way (there are obvious places where this doesn't hold up. But it, mostly, feels fairly close to the mark). They even eventually get to the New 52 on the roof sex scene, and the recent double date with Clark and Lois. It's really quite sweet. The wedding vows have a lot to do with one partner's thoughts on the other partner's eyes. It's romantic but not in that way that makes me think, "Oh boy! At the end of these vows, they're going to declare their undying love for each other!" The tone feels more like they'll cause me to exclaim, "Oh no! It sounds like they're both reaching the conclusion that maybe they shouldn't get married! But they'll still probably keep up the tradition of fucking on rooftops!" Also, I'm nearing the end and not a single whiff of Batcow. As Selina and Holly head to the wedding, Selina mentions that she's currently writing Batman a letter. So that's what the "vows" have been. Her letter. And Batman's letter to her (I'm assuming on the next page which I have yet to read, he'll confess to Alfred that he's also been working on a letter!). Both of which, as I mentioned in the previous paragraph, seem to be heading to the conclusion that neither one will want to go through with the marriage because they feel it will go against, and possibly change, the very nature of the other person. So. You know. Shit. And so, Selina declares, in her letter, that she can't marry Batman because it will kill him. And Bruce declares in his letter, that maybe he can become somebody happy. Maybe he can change. Which isn't exactly what I expected. I thought they would both agree. So, at least, Tom King surprised me on that level. And, apparently, that was the point since Holly goes back to Arkham to discover Bane and a bunch of other people who have been highlighted in Tom King's run (along with Poorly Shaved Batman. I don't remember if that's somebody or if that's Batman and this is all a hallucination of some kind or maybe Tom King is speaking through Bane or maybe...well, I don't know!). Bane says, "The Bat is broken," (which is a terrific pun that somebody once thought up and now Batman writers can't stop using!). Rating:: I guess giving Batman hope that he can be happy and then taking it away is supposed to break Batman? But isn't the whole point that Batman's unhappiness and grim misery and obsession over justice are the only things keeping him Batman? Won't this devastating loss just make him even more Batmanier?! Or do the members of Batman's rogue's gallery all believe he's going to become a pouting emo baby for the next few months? A total pushover which they can take advantage of?! Anyway, it was a good story well told. The only flaw was that the staples were off by one page. Stupid layout editor! Somebody should fire whoever's job it was to place the ads!

What was their first official date? It was a little dinner date at this diner, that worked with Diana’s vegetarian style, on the beach in Coast City that Carol loved and then they took a long walk on the beach.

How do they feel about double dates/group dates? They love them and often go on them with Clark and Lois a lot.

What do they do in their down time? Sleep.

What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like? Considering, Carol’s aren’t around and Diana can’t really go back.. it didn’t really happen??? Yet?

Shipping Meme, Conclusion!

Share five must-read fics. 

This is so hard, so I’m just going through my recent bookmarks and picking the first 5 fics I’ve got about some of my favorite ships! 

Green Light (1567 words) by APgeeksout: WWE, Brian Kendrick/Daniel Bryan sex pollen.  It’s the ship I felt alone in shipping, but no longer!  Hot and just tender enough to be sweet while staying in character.

Than Dreamt of in Your Philosophy (1775 words) by misura: Master & Commander, Jack/Stephen.  This is a Lovecraftian take on M&C and is very good, understated horror--nothing too dark or disturbing, and Stephen saves the day and his dear one.

like monuments (1929 words) by Neffectual: WWE, Tyler Breeze/Fandango. This story takes a fundamentally silly pairing in canon and finds the sweet and wistful heart of it.

Q: Mourning (100 words) by jaclynhyde:  Picard/Q was the first pairing I ever searched for fic about!  This drabble is a terse, painful look at how Q deals (or does not) with Picard’s death.

Corporal Punishment (5988 words) by x_los: Blakes 7, Blake/Avon.  Aliens made them do it:  Blake must administer a spanking to Avon, and both of them try very hard not to find it erotic.  (They fail).

Share your favorite fanmix for your OTP.

Currently I’ve been listening to a lot of “Asterisk*” for Kevin/Sami, with the tracks:

The Bouncing Souls - The Something Special The Orion Experience - Nice Guys Finish Last They Might Be Giants - I've Got a Match Miike Snow - Genghis Khan Sleigh Bells - Bitter Rivals OK Go - Do What You Want Version 2 (Wallpaper Background) The Mountain Goats - Cry For Judas ( New Single from Transcendental Youth Gotye - Night Drive The Mountain Goats - Unmasked! Samson - Regina Spektor Suckers - Turn On The Sunshine Los Campesinos! - We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed The Bouncing Souls - Hero Zero MASHUP DAY - (Of Sami)

Talk about a ship you initially disliked. 

I was slow to warm up to Kevin/Chris, because--I confess it with some shame--I am not very good at multishipping and I get jealous on behalf of my ships rather easily.  But the two of them had such good, easy chemistry, and were messed-up in a whole different way than Kevin is with Sami, so it was fun to write them for a couple of snippets.  

Do you have a favorite trope and/or AU for your OTP?  

With Clark/Bruce it is always and forever identity play of some sort.  The fact that the different facets of their personalities are so distinct and they often find themselves in situations where they have to pretend to be only that facet; the fact that there are so few other people in the world who know all of those facets--Clark the Kansan and Superman the hero and Kal-el the alien refugee; Brucie the rich kid and Batman the vigilante and Bruce the relentless will that unites them--so they can give each other a space to be all of their complex and contradictory selves, it’s really appealing to me.

With Sami/Kevin there’s some identity play going on there because of Generico, and part of what I love about wrestling as a fandom in general is the identity play aspect--the complex and blurry lines between the actors and the characters that inhabit their bodies and their lives.  With shipping that would take me further into RPF than I’m generally willing to go, but I do find myself sneaking ways to get that same frisson into my stories.  An AU that I’m turning over in my head with them is setting a story back in the 1920s and making them literal carnies, going from town to town fleecing marks and hopping boxcars in the night (Sami loves the art and challenge of it, but he always feels a bit guilty and leaves some money at the village orphanage before he goes).  I’ve started doing research on it, but it’s surprisingly hard to find out what life was like as a wrestler back when it was just starting to be a rigged game.

Is there a fictional relationship you’d really want for yourself?  

Gotta go with American Alpha here.  I just love that they’re basically goofballs who flat-out adore each other.  I mean, who wouldn’t want someone to look at them like Jason looks at Chad?

If you could change one thing about your OTP, what would that be? 

Comics Clark and Bruce: I’d want to go back to some form of them that has a long history together.  Right now there’s this weird and completely unimaginable situation where they each have years of history with someone who is almost but not quite the other guy, but they’ve only known each other a year or so, and… it’s awkward and unshippy for me personally.

Thorin and Bilbo: I would love some canon hint they were reunited in the afterlife, whether the dwarf version or the Secondborn version.  

Sami and Kevin: I’d want some guarantee they’re going to be tag team champs someday.  I don’t want it to be right now, that wouldn’t work psychologically. But I just want to know it’s going to happen somewhere down the line.
