#Damian is plotting on being the best uncle

[dcxdpdabbles]

Any new ideas for congratulations! It's triplets? Love the idea of Jason just freaking out and trying to figure out how to build a relationship with his kids while being made fun of by his family and said kids. Especially if he goes overprotective mode because Danny has clown trauma too and gets snagged by the joker

Jason watches as Danny- his son.- impatiently taps his fingers against the table. His boy's gaze was looking at everything, taking in the big fancy Wayne Mannor with a sort of disinterest he was not expecting of a child so young.

His sister and Brother- both with alarmingly similar names- were also disinterested, but Dani was swinging her legs, and Dan was tapping his spoon and fork against the table in a fast-paced drumming.

It's strange to know he would fidget a lot as a kid but he always resorted to finger tapping. Was the tripples little habit from him? He wonders what else they inherited and what he missed out on seeing.

"I don't understand," Jasmine said, overlooking the contract Bruce's lawyers wrote up. " Why would you want custody now? It's been five years."

"I didn't know." Jason swallows past the lump in his throat as she gives him an unimpressed stare over the paper. He feels Bruce place a hand on his shoulder, and the silent support allows him to continue. "If I have, I wouldn't have ever let them grow up without me."

"Jason doesn't want full custody," Tim cuts in with a soft voice that has tricked lesser men into selling their shares. He and the rest of his family are all sitting across from Jassmin Fenton, as she is carefully lured back to the manor to discuss their next step. "He just wants to be part of his kid's lives and would happily share that with you."

"Not telling him about the kids sort of played into that," Steph mutters tactlessly. Unfortunately, her voice carries, and the woman across from them bristles.

There is a tense moment where he thinks Jassmin is about to curse them all out before she sighs and slumps in her seat. "Well, it wasn't like I had a means to contact you when I found out. You gave me a fake name."

Jason winces. "I sort of forgot I told you my name was Petter."

"Wasn't a total lie" Dani chirps "It is your middle name."

Jasmine rubs her eyes. "Look, Jason, I don't want to stop you from seeing the kids, but this is all too much right now. I'm dealing with a lot right now-"

"You are currently homeless," Damian cuts in, causing Jasmine to stop in genuine bewilderment.

"No, we're not." Dan scoffs. "You were waiting for us at our house. Waiting to ambush us."

"The house that was on the street that Poison Ivy just destroyed," The boy says, showing everyone his phone screen. There, clear as day is, their home is nothing but rumble. Jasmine's face spams, and she quickly checks her phone, paling at what she reads.

"Oh, Ancients. It's gone. It's all gone," She whispers, gripping the phone. The three kids immediately stiffen, watching their mother with strange intensity. Too aware of what this means.

They were mature for their age, and that is never a good thing.

Oh gods. Did his children live on the streets? Had Jason's carelessness hurt his children like his parents have hurt him?

"Mom?" Danny asks and that seems to snap Jasmine out of her spirl.

"Hotel!" She gasps, hands shaking as she quickly starts tapping on her phone. Jason catches a glimpse of her screen and realizes she is making a to-do list. "I have to book a hotel room. Call the insurance company, go and try to salvage whatever we can....what else?"

"You can stay here, Fenton," Damian surprisingly offers. "Until your home is rebuilt"

"We couldn't possibly-"

"Hotels are expensive, and you must focus on other more important needs. Father certainly has the space."

Jason jerks into action. "This will also give me a chance to connect with the kids!"

Jasmine bites her lip, turning to her children. Jason could appreciate that she was willing to include them in big decisions. The three nodded, so she eventually sighs.

"Alright. But only until I can get our housing settled. And I'll pay rent"

Jason would argue but he recognized the look in her eye. She would not be sway from making payments. So he agrees, tapping his fingers on the table in a specific rhythm to make sure his family agrees too.

He knows it pains Bruce- the old man already thinks of the triplets as his grandchildren and the idea of charging them to live with him will kill him.

Jason notices the way Dan's eyes zero in on his tapping and the glance around the family members. He fights a proud grin when realization bleeds into his boy's eyes. He's got a smart one, likely aware of that the tapping is a form of Morse code.

Tim did say- after pulling up all files of the four- that his children had developed insane intelligence. Maybe he should get them tested for certification geniuses.

"Hey Mr. Jason," Dani suddenly speaks up.

"Yes Darling?"

"I suggest you remove your eyes from my mom before I remove them from your face." The little girl even punches her palm in a poor intimidation attempt. His heart melts.

Then his face turns a dark red hue at Jasmine's raised brow. Unwillingly flashes of thier last time being face-to face rise in his mind. He coughs awkwardly as his sons face become as protective as their sister, Dan cracking his knuckles and Danny reaching for a knife.

"Oh yeah" Tim deadpans watching the kids reaction "No need for DNA test. Those are definitely Jason's kids"

He agrees, he just hopes he can show his children he plans on sticking around and being the father they deserve.

No one notices Cass and Steph slip away to deal with Posion Ivy. Jason kinda wants to send her a thank you gift for making it possible to have his family move into the manor.

i think the funniest thing about wfa is like its like. i think people might actually get MORE bent out of shape about some of the conflicts in it despite it all being dialed way down. like its tiny titans, man, its like looney tunes junior, and people get SO riled up. like the plot where dick and jasons turbulent sometimes fraught relationship is played for laughs while they squabble to Win at being the best uncle to their mutual friends daughter? sparked like a weeklong ship war. people were FURIOUS that their guy didnt win when the competition wasnt even real, lian was playing them against each other. or like. in a world with lower stakes and everyone being nicer to each other the damian-tim beef still happens but they wanted to do an apology plotline and people were mad that tim didnt like. apologize ... enough? like the plot was tim is reluctantly convinced to get over himself and apologize to the frickin nine year old and people were still mad bc he wasnt contrite enough he didnt switch immediately from "has beef" completely to "remorseful, contrite, had his PR team pre-approve his notesapp apology."

like people will be likr "bring nuanced interpersonal conflict back to comix" and bestie you cant even handle wfa!!!!!!!!!! your idea of nuanced conflict resolution is "the one I don't like has to do a million zillion hail marys and then die and go to hell no matter what"

#dc #wfa tag #however i also cant talk bc i dont even remember what they did with talia but i think it was maybe like #not as full blown talia apologism as i would have preferred. like i would have preferred her to have a little certificate saying #'talia did nothing wrong signed the nobel peace committee the president of the universe and dolly parton' #buti own that i can own that. and also i realyl dont even remember what they diddjdjxkckkxmv

The multiverse Damitim family au is so so yummy. I love It. Wondering how tim and Damian met, how they got into a relationship, their backgrounds, parenting styles.. And I just love the baby reborn Bruce plot line. I do. Thanks all your work - you’re the best ❤️

thank you!!! im happy you enjoyed it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!!!!!for damian and tim i like to imagine that the two of them, unlike the pair in bruce's universe, probably got along immediatly. tim and his friends were the geeky nerd outcasts in highschool and damian was the art outcast. in their highschool they were the kids that sort of shared a lunchtable together because otherwise they'd be forced to eat on the floor by others. damian was a foster kid and tim was being cared for by his uncle after both his parents passed away so the two of them have this shared kind of 'no parents, i say i'm not sad about it but i really fucking am'.

tim and damian are both sort of kindred spirits who are just trying to survive their teenager years while undergoing teenage depression and simultaneous teenage egoism. tim is the one between them who has friends so when he befriends damian his friends become damian's and they like him because damian can draw their dungeons and dragons characters and paint really well.

given the fact that they both lost their families pretty early on, to the two of them family is really important, giving their children the love they didn't get from their parents, giving their children comfortable and safe lives they didn't get. damian growing up in the foster system definitely leaves him with the same defensive nature that he needs to unlearn for tim and their children's sake. tim probably wasn't a natural born mother and needed to learn a lot of the homemaking skills a lot of parents already had. tim was raised on take out, frozen foods, and prepared meals. tim had to lean how to cook, food safety so he didn't poison their family, how to do a million and one tasks. the two of them are probably so amazingly average in bruce's eyes. they're like a fairytale couple to capes. they both went to the same highschool, attended the same college. damian works at some tech-startup that their highschool friends started. tim stays home and cares for all their children because tim was about 4 months pregnant with cass when they graduated. on occasion damian and tim's friends call tim while he's playing with all his kids in the park. tim is pushing a pouting bruce in a baby swing while he helps talk them through some computer problem they're having at the office.

bruce is used to seeing so much relationship drama around him. cheating, old flames, misunderstandings, on and off again relationships. being a cape basically made you a side character in some cheesy soap opera that was the love lives of capes. bruce was even guilty of it himself. and...he keeps expecting for it to happen to damian and tim but...they were each other's firsts. they'd both lived hard lives and were just looking to live peacefully with their children.

bruce almost can't believe it. this new life is too good to be true. he silently lives in fear of the day he turns 10 and his family is...murdered in a home invasion? killed in a car accident? blown up in a plane crash? bruce knows what a confirmation bias is, knows that he surrounded himself with people who lived through and had extraordinarily depressing lives. every cape had a dead mother, father, brother, sister, child. every cape had dealt with some struggle or trauma in adulthood or childhood. but the fact was that they were outliers. the horrible things that occurred in their lives wasn't the norm. they were a very very very small percentage of people these things happened to and it changed them forever. bruce was not the first child who loved their parents to be made an orphan (dick was proof of that). plenty of kids were orphaned each year, some under far worse circumstances. but they didn't grow up to become and do what bruce had. there was something fundamentally wrong with bruce, just like there was something fundamentally wrong with all capes.

but bruce can't just forget the feeling, ignore his lifetime of trauma induced hypervigilance. he can't drop the feeling that it's all a trick. that the moment he...assimilates to this new life it will be taken from him.

but bruce has to admit it's hard. when his fathe-damian gets home with a tired but wide smile. he hugs each of his children and presses a soft kiss to their sweet cheeks. he jointly nuzzles and kisses tim and bruce because bruce is still a baby. when tim softly rocks bruce when it's naptime, stroking his back, and humming so softly bruce feels the vibration from where his ear is pressed to tim's chest. when bruce is the first to wakeup from their nap in the playroom and awakes to find all his siblings asleep and sprawled around his little pen, all of them clearly having crawled closer in order to sleep close to their baby brother.

is makes bruce's heart ache. seeing this happy little family where no tragedy or horrible things have ever touched their lives. where he had two parents who were so determined to see that all four of them grew up to have happy and fulfilling childhoods and lives.

if feels like a trip, like someone will rip the rug out from under bruce because what has he done to deserve it?

it's all a trick. bruce is a baby and he knows that this much stress probably isn't good for a baby's body.

but the thing that gives bruce a flciker of hope, the small sparkle he needs to begin embracing this new life is in a beaten up, waterlogged cardboard box that his fath- damian brings home one day. unlike his normal smile damian's expression is creased with soft hurt and distress. an expression bruce rarely knew his own damian to show no matter how much actual turmoil he felt.

all of bruce's siblings are crowded around damian's legs, curiously inquiring about what was inside, what was dad holding?, was it a treat? a present? something for them?

bruce can see better than any of them on account of the fact that he's quietly sucking on a pacifier in his mothe-tim's arms. he sees tim's brows crease in concern, catching the bit of distress wafting off damian, and steps forward to comfort his husband.

damian's jacket and hair are soaked with rain from the storm outside and he's carefully cradling the box like it's precious.

"sebastian found the box out back when he went to throw out some boxes for the christmas party-someone just...left them out there."

damian tilts the box down in tim and bruce's direction and reveals a small curled up english cocker spaniel.

"a puppy?" tim asks, tilting his head with confusion. his words immediatly set up a domino effect and all of bruce's siblings begin jumping up with excitement, reaching their little hands up and begging to see the supposed puppy.

damian softly shushes them and scolds them about scaring the little pup. he tells tim about how there'd been a box full of pups just dumped behind the building, they probably weren't even a few days old.

that's when bruce notices the plastic bag printed with a pet supply store logo in damian's hand. he's stuttering apologies as a sweet smile blooms on tim's lips, telling about how there was no one else to take the puppy. all the other employees had volunteered to take the rest and there was one left and damian knows he should've called, but he also knows they'd been talking about getting the kids a puppy for christmas-

tim cuts him off with a kiss to the lips, stopping damian's speedy chatter. bruce ignores tim's affectionate call of 'my sweet hearted, loving man' and focuses intently on the puppy that's wrapped up in a handtowel embroidered with his uncle ives' company logo.

bruce is carted around the kitchen as damian and his siblings all carefully examine the puppy, cassandra being especially quiet and careful as she watches their father continue to dry the puppy off.

tim is talking about calling a vet in the morning and managing to work in that the pup will need a name. damian looks as careful as he does when he's handling bruce as he lays the pup into a fresh box lined with soft towels and blankets.

"sebastian said we should call him ac."

bruce feels the vibration from tim's hum of confusion.

"was he found under the ac?"

damian lets out a small chuckle and shakes his head as bruce's siblings all crowd around to stare at the puppy making little noises.

"no ah...sebastian said we should name one of the pups after ac gilbert, you known, since it's so close to christmas?"

tim lets out a soft snort and affectionate "nerd" before gently nuzzling bruce who is still cradled close. "the poor puppy's already been through enough, he at least deserves a full name. what about 'alfred' ?"

bruce feels his little baby body freeze. there's something that feels like a dam that he erected to stop himself from losing control bursting open as warm tears begin dripping down his fat baby cheeks. he tries to stile his soft cry but his parents catch it immediatly. tim is softly cooing to bruce, shifting him in his arms and comforting him with soft words. damian similarly strokes the back of bruce's head and running a hand down bruce's book as he asked if tim if bruce had been having tummy troubles again.

bruce, in some distant way, realizes that this is the first time he's cried. he's fussed, grunted, made soft distressed sounds but crying?

this might be the first time he's cried in a long long time. and he feels...safe. with his mother and father comforting him. his brothers and sisters all asking if "baby bruce" is okay and feeling absolutely comforted when his mother gently replies that "he will be".

he will be.

bruce and his family will be okay.

Welcome to Gotham – bat population: one too many

a post assassin x family au where Damian eventually meets his father and his family

a series of loosely connected scenarios surrounding Damian. Even if he is in Gotham, he does not forget his roots. Nor do they want him to forget them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pt.1

“And what do you like to do in your free time?” asks Grayson cheerfully when his father merely grunted and left to wherever it was that he went. 

“Slice the throat of my enemies,” he deadpanned. He couldn’t help but wonder at their intelligence. Grandfather said that his father and his allies were formidable opponents, but Damian was skeptical. Not with how Drake and Grayson flinched at his words. 

“What about besides that?”

“Draw.”

``

“Oh, that’s lovely. Do you have any–”

“I left all my work back there. Probably for the best, I don’t want you looking at them.” If they could believe his lies without protest, he didn’t feel like sharing parts of his family with them. 

~~~~~~~~

pt. 2

“Your mother sends her love.”

Damian startles – dressed as Robin, few could sneak up on him – but he lets his surprise melt away to delight at seeing his uncle. “Uncle–”

“Have you been well? You look tired.”

“I’m fine.”

Dusan made a sound of disbelief but didn’t press. “I thought you might like something from home.” He brings out a familiar sketchbook. 

``

There have been few things of home that he had brought with him, and now he regretted it. The appearance of Dusan is soothing, bringing reminders of home. And although Damian really should be patrolling, it had been quiet tonight. And he thinks taking a few moments to chat is alright. 

“How do you find your father?”

“Different,” he admits after a moment. “He seems so different from Mother’s stories.” Morosely, he adds, “He does not let me take in as many animals as Mother.”

To which his uncle only chuckled. “Of course, that is your complaint. Not everyone is as open to animal adoption as our family.”

``

They chat and chat until Dusan quietly asks a bizarre question out-of-the-blue. “Do you remember when I used to throw you as a child?” 

“What?” 

His uncle smiles – one he’s seen much too often on Medea’s face when she plots – and that is the only warning he gets before he’s picked up by the scruff like an unruly kitten. Damian can’t help but protest at being carried around. “Keep your knees bent.”

What– He gets thrown across a rooftop and it turns out Dusan’s warning is for naught because he falls into an armoured chest plate. A glance up shows his father. 

“Keep a better eye on your birds, Detective,” says his uncle with a wave. And in the blink of an eye, the man seems to disappear. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pt.3

“The League has no juri–”

The shadow waved their hand in interruption. They turned their attention to Damian, who had always been the intended recipient. “Helios is displeased.”

Damian blanched, something Richard mistakenly took as fear rather than disappointment. 

“Robin–”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pt.4

“Little bird,” greets Fenrir jovially. “Glad to see you’ve made it.”

“How…how is she?” Is she angry? How disappointed is she?

“Why don’t you ask her yourself?” He gestured to the door behind him. While Damian was unsurprised at Fenrir’s appearance – for his uncle was insistent on an escort, particularly with Medea when she travelled– he wished the mercenary wasn’t here. He’d been hoping that he’d be able to see Medea without anyone else around.  

``

Carefully, Damian pushed open the door. 

“Do sit, Robin.” The title is said with distaste as she eyed his attire. “You look very…colourful.”

Faint as it was, he caught the trace of amusement. “Medea.” He hopes by using her name, there would be a sense of familiarity. And by extension, perhaps lessen her disappointment. 

“Damian,” she said, mimicking his tone. “What happened to regular updates?” She crossed her arms. “And I’m quite sure T said that you weren’t allowed to don a mask.”

Oops?

``

As annoyed as she is, Damian finds that she is easily placated. His cousin had never been one to hold grudges, not against him nor Mara. Though she does tell him that she will not intercede on his behalf about Robin – his mother he will have to placate himself. Soon enough, the two are chatting and his mask is discarded on the coffee table and even Wilson joins them in the room. It is almost like his childhood, all that is missing is Mara. 

“Perhaps I should do my clinical here,” mused Medea as they heard yet another siren sound in the background. “It certainly sounds busy.”

“Darling, you wouldn’t subject me here, would you?” complains Wilson good-naturedly. “The smog, the bat infestation and the clowns, oh I could go on.”

“Don’t be so dramatic.”

“But it’s the truth. With your marks, you have your pick of anywhere in the world.”

“As if you’d turn down the chance to annoy Nightwing more often, Grant.”

Her mercenary smiles. “Okay, you got me there.”

``

This time when he leaves, he leaves with a promise to meet up again before she leaves Gotham. One preferably without masks and aliases. He leaves feeling a little less homesick and full of anticipation. Nothing dampens it, even when Drake makes some inane comment about him being a little less snarky.

~~~~~~~

Tuesday night, a familiar mercenary drops off a note during his patrol. On it, an address and date, signed with the name, Helios. 

Sunday comes and he hurries out of the house. He’s so impatient to see his favourite cousin again that he misses the tail until it’s too late. 

“Damian, you can’t run off like that. Who knows what Helios might do? We don’t even have information on who he is–” Richard paused, having finally noticed Medea, who’s seated across from Damian. “Who are you?” 

Medea looked him up and down coolly, unimpressed. “Well, you’re certainly shorter than I imagined.” 

``

“What?” From beside her, Wilson snorts, drawing Richard’s attention. “You!”

“Yes, me. So?”

```

Before Richard or Wilson could start their inane bickering, a voice stops them. “Enough.” Medea looked at Damian and made a vague hand gesture at his brother. “How do you want to present this?”

Damian couldn’t help the corner of his mouth twitching upwards. “I might be amenable to sharing her name if you can behave yourself, Richard.”

“Dami–” squawks the older man.

New video message from: Tim Drake, in the group chat: Top Secret Super Memes

Video begins:

“What’s up, it’s your boy Tim, aaaaaaand, I’m your host...welcome back to another family segment, today I’m going to be trying to guess everyone’s favorite Avatar The Last Airbender characters. I feel pretty confident that I can get most of them. Yeah, pretty confident. Let’s go!”

(Video cuts to Dick Grayson, sitting on the kitchen counter with two different laptops open)

“Dick!”

“Hey, how’s it go-”

“Is your favorite Avatar character Aang?”

“Huh?”

“You strike me as an Aang guy.”

“Hah! Well, that’s-”

“Is that right?”

“He’s tied for my favorite.”

“Ok? Tied with who?”

“Ty Lee!”

“T- Why?”

“I just think she’s funny! And her part in the Ember Island episode was really-”

“Oh, fuck off!”

(Video cuts to Stephanie Brown, in the process of putting a load of laundry in the washing machine, some of which bears very obvious blood stains)

“Is your favorite Avatar character Zuko?”

“...Why’d you say it like that?”

“Like what?”

“Like...is it really that obvious?”

“Yes.”

“Wh- no, but-”

“No, it’s really obvious.”

“Dude-”

“You can always find the Zuko fans.”

“Shut up! Don’t be acting like you’re better than me-”

“Ah, ah, I was right, though, wasn’t I? Got em!”

“Shut the hell up, Tim! I know your favorite’s Jet, which is as lame as it gets-”

“No it’s not!”

“-and if you even try to argue that point with me, I’ll kick your ass!”

(Video cuts to Barbara Gordon, in the library with a book open on her lap and a pen behind her ear)

“-m busy, is it impor-”

“Is your favorite Avatar character Katara?”

“No, it’s Asami.”

“Awww, Asami doesn’t count!”

“What! Why not?”

“Doesn’t count, original series only!”

“That seems needlessly discriminatory.”

“Katara, yes or no.”

“...I guess so. Of the original series.”

“Yesss! I’m on a roll, guys, I’m on a roll.”

(Video cuts to Jason Todd, eating from a family-size package of barbeque flavored potato chips)

“Jason, Jason.”

“Hm?”

“Your favorite Avatar character is also Zuko. Am I right?”

“...No.”

“No?”

“My favorite is Momo.”

“Oh! Oh, is that so?”

“Yeah, man, Momo. You know, Momo-”

“Yeah.”

“Momo is integral to the plot of the entire series. It’s shown over and over again that everything would fall apart without him.”

“Right.”

“And his segment in Ba Sing Se was an unparalleled cinematic masterpiece. Universally acclaimed.”

“Right, right. Unparalleled.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

“But like, who is it really, though?”

“It’s Zuko.”

“I knew it!”

(Video cuts to Cassandra Cain and Duke Thomas, studying at the dining room table, which bears the distinct appearance of rarely, if ever, being used for it’s intended purpose)

“Alright, ok, your favorite Avatar character is Sokka-”

“Is that what we’re doing?”

“And yours is Toph. Am I right?”

“Yes.”

“Yeah, I- wait, Toph is your favorite?”

“Yes.”

“I woulda said, like, Mai, or something.”

“No.”

“Alright then.”

“Kinda makes you change your opinion of people, doesn’t it?”

“It does, actually. Wait, who’s yours?”

“...Not telling.”

“Hey, that’s not fair!”

“Not telling! Not telli-”

(Video cuts to Damian Wayne, leaning against the Batmobile, with an open bottle of water in his hand)

“Favorite character?”

“Yeah, and for you I’m gonna guessssss....uhhhh....Sokka?”

“No!”

“Aw, man.”

“What kind of person do you take me for?”

“I don’t know! It was harder to guess for you than it was for everybody else. And your best friend is practically real life Sokka.”

“I can appreciate Sokka’s role, but I would hardly say he’s among my favorite characters.”

“Who is your favorite, then?”

“Avatar Roku.”

“Roku? Really?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because he’s cool.”

“I- You know what, that was a really simple answer, and I can respect it, I can respect it.”

“Well, good.”

“Are you going to ask me who my favorite is?”

(The camera pans over to Bruce Wayne, approaching from the direction of the Batcomputer).

“Oh! Do you have one?”

“He hasn’t seen all of it.”

“I’ve seen most of it.”

“Ok, Bruce, who’s your favorite character, then?”

“I like Zuko’s uncle, Iroh.”

“Ohhh. Because he’s like, the surrogate father figure, and he-”

“Because he’s cool.”

“Oh. Ok.”

#My writing #batman #batfamily #avatar the last airbender #fanfiction #this one's a little lengthy but it's good I promise #I myself am an Eldest Daughter #and though I idolized Toph as a kid I just grew up to be Katara #hugely disappointed with myself for that one

Marinette and the Runaway Assassin

~

Marinette Grason and the Runaway Assassin

The first thing they could remember was always flying.

Their parents always told them that the first thing a Grayson ever did was fly.

Whether it be him tossing his sister in the air as she did flips, or flying on the low swing trapeze with his mother and father. they were born soaring.

Their family was the best of the best. Humans with the agility and grace of birds. Their family never stayed on the ground for long. Nothing could keep a Grayson on the ground.

Until they fell.

Their wonderful parents never flew again.

~

Dick was trying his best to keep it together, for his sister, but the pain was almost too much. He was just 16. What was he supposed to do now? He wasn’t of age to care for Marinette and he certainly didn't have much money at all.

It was two days after the fall that killed their parents. Dick had cried himself to sleep, so full of grief, stress and uncertainty the night before. He wanted, no, needed to keep his sister safe, but what were they supposed to do? Live on the street? Marinette deserved better than that. Not to mention her schooling. There was just so many things he needed to think about he had no idea if they’d ever even survive -

A knock sounded at the door, startling Dick from his thoughts.

“Excuse me,” a deep voice came from behind the door, “I would like to speak to a mister Dick Grayson.” With those words the pit inside his stomach grew. It was probably some social worker coming to separate him from the only family he had left.

Dick opened the door and saw a large man with dark hair and blue eyes in a suit, “If you’re here to take me and my sister to some orphanage, leave now. It’s not going to happen. Get lost.” Dick, the normally polite boy, ended his statement by quickly closing the door.

“Wait!” The man jumped in, using his foot to jam the door. “I’m not a social worker. Mister Grayson I presume?” Dick just narrowed his eyes and nodded his head, “My name is Bruce Wayne. I was hoping to come to an arrangement that would greatly help you and your sister.

Dick had the urge to scoff, but he let the man, Bruce, continue.

“You see, I lost my parents at a young age as well. I want to make you and Miss Marinette my wards. You two would both get to live in my manor with your own room and have all the things you two would need to live a happy life. And you would not be separated. This can all happen effective immediately, as soon as you say the word. So, What do you say?”

This was insane. It was everything he and Mari could need. They could lead a normal, safe, and good life. There were so many goods that could come of this and yet…

Graysons are never tied to the ground my little robin. We must never be afraid to spread our own wings and soar. We are free spirits and we fly our own way.

With only that thought in his head, his ressove hardened.

“While I appreciate the offer Mister Wayne, I’m afraid I have to decline.” He began, “My parents used to say that we should never let ourselves be tied down. They were free-spirited and loved to travel. I want my sister and I to continue their legacy.”

Bruce looked a little shocked at this, and also a bit put out., but he quickly covered it with a determined look of his own.

“I see. If I cannot assist with housing, please let me help in any other way possible. Money is no issue, I can promise you that.” Bruce looked so ready to help them. And hell, if they couldn't use the help.

Dick was at a loss for words, “I- Mister Wayne- I can’t thank you enough!” Marinette would get to have the life their parents would have wanted for her. He didn’t have to worry about money any more. They could be free and go where the wind would take them. This flood of relief he felt did ease his grief a little for only a moment. It was one weight lifted off his shoulders.

“It’s the least I could do Mister Grayson.” He nodded, looking a bit relieved himself.

“Please, call me Dick Mister Wayne.” At that Bruce’s mouth quirked upwards the tiniest bit.

“Only if you call me Bruce.”

~

Over the next few years, Dick and Marinette went everywhere imaginable, traveling with the circus.

Eventually they decided to travel at their own pace. Marinette instided they spend more time in their favorite countries. They spent a few months in each, both gathering a love for each culture and language. Marinette especially took a bit of every country with her, absorbing each like a sponge.

Without the circus to keep them active in their travels and with barely any means to keep themselves protected, Dick and Marinette accumulated a mesh of different fighting styles. Neither ever truly mastered one, but both fought in a way very specific to them.

~

Currently somewhere in Italy, the two were waiting for one of their mentors to arrive for a meeting.

“Duckie!!” Marinette, now nine, ran to her brother with that particular spark in her eye, “Duckie! Guess what!”

Dick, smiled a little at the familiar nickname, “What’s up Nettie?”

Marinette jumped up and down excitedly. “Look what I can do!”

The small girl smiled and ran a little ways into the field nearby and did three handsprings to the shock, and pride of her brother.

“Good job Marinette,“ A voice that was not Dick‘s called from behind them, “I’m glad to see that you are improving well.”

An overall average looking man in his late 30’s wearing a firm, yet warm expression walked towards them.

Their mentor, Malachi Dobraski.

“Uncle Chi!” The Marinettw siblings voiced, running to him.

Malachi’s mouth turned upwards at the sibling’s outburst. “Yes, yes I have finally arrived. You two are, of course, ever so humbled to be in my presence.” There was a stretch of silence before the three burst out in laughter.

“Wonderful to see you two as always.” He said as he bent down to give Marinette a hug.

“So what did you need Malachi? You never call meetings so early in the month.” Dick said as he turned to face him.

Malachi hummed in an impressed manner, “Very astute Richard. I asked you here today because I wanted you to meet a friend of mine I had mentioned earlier. Gina, If you remember.”

At the mention of the woman Marinette perked up, The one who travels all around the world like us? We really get to meet her?” She topped off her questions with a wiggle of excitement.

“We’ll have to see about that Nettie.” Dick spoke fondly as he smiled at his sister’s antics. He then turned his attention to Malachi, “Will she be in town soon? You’re rarely one to throw out praise for no reason and you’ve spoken highly of her in the past.”

“She is a lady well deserving of my praise, Richard. To answer your question, yes. Ms. Gina will be in town Thursday evening.” their mentor said with another small grin.

Dick hummed while tapping his chin, “That’s about two days from now. Unfortunately me and Mari probably won’t be able to meet with her right away. We’re tied up until Saturday I believe. Will she be in town for long?”

“Gina is a free spirit, so it’s hard to say. However she has been interested in you two since I mentioned I was taking students again. I expect she’ll stay long enough to meet you.”

“That’s great!” Dick said, as cheerful as ever, “That settles it then.”

“Yay! We get to meet aunt Gina!” Marinette exclaimed, jumping up and down.

Instead of correcting his sister, Dick just shook his head with a laugh. Why does everyone we hear of instantly become family?

~

Marinette sat at a tall table in a quiet cafe. Her tiny legs swung eagerly underneath her as she hummed to herself. Her brother was up at the counter ordering their drinks. She was sketching, or trying to. It was really hard to focus when she was so full of jitters.

Today was the day they were supposed to meet Ms. Gina and while Marinette was excited, she was just as, if not more, nervous. She has always been this way with new people.

————————

That is the end of what i have written BUT NOW the outline:

Section One

Dick is older in this 16/17

Mari is 5 or 6

They grow up with their parents, until they die, again.

Dick is old enough to be emancipated/take custody of Mari

(Bruce didn’t adopt them but he helped Dick get emancipated and gave them loads of money)

Their parents were free spirits and loved to travel

Dick decides they should keep that alive.

The two stay with the circus traveling for around a year

And they continue to travel for 1 or 2 years

They meet Gina

Dick kinda wants to settle down Gina recommends Paris

They go to Paris

They get an apartment (thank you plot convenient Bruce money)

(she’s around 10 or 11 now. He’s 19 or 20 now)

Dick wants Mari to make friends or get a feel for regular school so she goes to FD

Section Two

Separately, Damian and the league are in turmoil (the coup happens)

Thalia might die Idk

Damian, not knowing what else to do, flees to Paris?

Tom and Sabine have always wanted children but were never successful

They find this aggressive child on the streets of course they take him in

Damian would grumble about their ‘lower status’ but would of course be secretly grateful and surprised at the unconditional love and care he receives from T and S

Section THree

Back to Mari

Being raised by Dick, she learned to be true to herself and also headstrong

She takes no crap from Chloé

(She eventually learns of her situation with her mother and they become less aggressive towards each other)

(she also learns a lot of different skills and fashion things)

Section Four

Damian arrives at FD

(He’s like 10 or 11 Mari is like 11)

Damian and Mari are both ahead of the curriculum (Both home schooled) same class

She is her kind self, doesn't know anyone else well and Dami is another new kid.

They stick together out of a sort of necessity

He’s cold at first but (go figure) he softens for her eventually

They slowly grow closer as friends

Dick becomes another behaviour mentor and Brother esq figure to Dami

Dick also sees Daminette’s in love right away

He teases Mari about it

Bada Boom they're 13 now

Section Five

Miraculos canon GO

Mari gets ladybug Dami gets cat

Mari doesn't get a crush on Adrien (the gum incident doesn’t happen because Chlo and Mari are on better terms)

Mari and Dami both immediately recognize each other in costume

Mari’s outfit is black with red detailing sans her cape/glider that’s full red with the five black spots. Has deep red boots that go up to the knee. Her ribbons are longer and can detach to use as a makeshift ribbon dance things (she also goes by Ladybird instead of Ladybug)

Damian’s outfit is his assassin outfit but black and tan undertones with cat ears (his pupils don’t change to slits) Damian goes by Leopard

Dick notices a change immediately He confronts Mari, She caves and tells him too

(She consequently reveals Damian’s Identity as well. No one could have that kind of chemistry with Mari that quickly)

He signs her up for many martial arts classes (She already had training in a few, picking up a lot from her travels)

Damian also helps train Mari in some ~Assassin Skills~

Basically, they’re bad asses.

The only thing stopping them from defeating Hawkey boy quickly is the fact that they can’t find where he is

Section Six

Moving on, Salt

Lila happens

Lila still sets her sights on Adrian (he’s got money at this point Damian is just a baker's boy to Lila.

Lila isolates the two from the rest of the class, even more so than they already were

Damian thinks the class are even bigger idiots

Lila is still an awful person and wants to make both Dami and Mari’s live miserable

Lila tries to go to Dick about Mari “bullying” her

He laughs in her face (he choses laughter instead of seething anger. thanks Hawky)

Lila then tries to get through to Tom and Sabine about Damian

This time it works, they have less reason to trust Damian (and he was also a major prick when they first took him in

(this happens over a year or so. Lila slowly gaining the trust of the class and Tom and Sabine)

The environment gets very toxic Dami and Mari decide to leave the school and go to online schooling (like at college level)

Section Seven

Time skip. They are 16 now

The two have had feelings for a while, they now realize them

Dami is less emotionally stunted, having both Dick and Mari around (Tom and Sabine too but they kinda suck now) so he doesn’t panic much

Mari is full panic mode

Dick is just in the corner all smug-like. (“you didn’t know you loved him? I’ve known this for years”)

Que pining

Lots of pining

There’s some angst, Tom and Sabine are negligent towards Damian (not mean but still neglectful)

He ends up staying with Dick and Mari more often than not

Eventually they both confess after a particularly rough akuma battle (the one where mari becomes the guardian?)

Both of them almost watched the other die. That was too heartbreaking for either of them to not confess

So they are together now.

It was an easy transition, they were already married pretty much

They’ve already figured out who Hawky boy is. They just need evidence

They get evidence. They also discover Lila was working with him

They take care of the Hawkmoth situation

Section Eight

Everything is good now right? Wrong

Batman Finally goes to Paris once Hawky is defeated,

(he kept in touch with Dick all these years and knew what was going on, {He practically became their “uncle Bruce”} He only stayed away cuz Hawkmoth)

When Damian sees Bruce visiting Mari’s House he freezes,

Mari: “what's wrong Dami?”

Dami: *whispers in her ear*

M: “He’s your WHAT???”

D; *whispers more*

M: “I- You- Um- WHAT”

D: *walks up to Bruce* “Hello, I know this is an odd way to meet but I am sure you know of Thalia Al’ Ghoul.” *B nods wairily* “Yes, well, I am your son. And unfortunately hers as well.”

“Yes, I’d be perfectly happy to do a blood test.”

Dick and Mari are shook

“Damian, You must come to live with me in Gotham”

Dun

Dun

Dunnnnnn!!!!!

End Part One

Again I am sincerely sorry I was not able to complete this story in time. Like I said before, I will (maybe/probably) be finishing this and planning a part two! I hope you enjoyed! (even though it’s the first fanfic i’ve written)

@themartlans (FFFFFF-J’ONN. Everyone’s favorite green uncle :D I freaking adore him and I HATE how the most he ever interacted with Grundy was him being tossed into the bay. >_<

They really need to talk more, and MAN! That Injustice verse of yours is SICK. Definitely hyped for making Grundy into an insurgent and a good zombie instead of Supes’ lapdog.

( Look at this face....LOOK AT IT.)

@blackwingsbluedings (One of the best Dick Grayson’s out there and definitely loving seeing Grundy be less smash and more “......hug?” They both need hugs I swear.)

@marvelousdamsels (We haven’t talked much but I adore your muses and I just hope Grundy doesn’t come off as too weird or clingy.......wait.......that’s......literally Grundy.....

:D)

@theirfirstexperiment (GRUNDY ON A RAMPAGE YOOOOOO! Better run fast. XD)

@amazonexile/ @gothamprens/ @captainstevertrevor ( Freaking love your muses and I love seeing Diana and Bruce actually WANT to help Grundy. It’s too easy just beating on Grundy and I love seeing them actually bother to try to get to the gentler side of the Hulk’s crazy cousin. XD)

@justiceebound / @nighttfight ( *slams fist on the table* YOU ARE AWESOME! Your Shayera is awesome, your Bruce is a national treasure and I can’t wait to throw Grundy at Supes and Diana, because these guys need a big reconciliation thing after all the chaos from literal years of slugging it out.

And I LOVE it. >:D)

@ofamazonia 

@theamazondiana   (Both of you are AWESOME Wonder Women and MAN I love plotting ideas. I’m tired of seeing Diana being turned into too much of a warrior while negating her role as a peace-maker and y’all NAIL her kindness and wisdom and need to give everyone a chance. Freaking LOVE IT!)

@raininginkyxto (LOL I always love imagining Grundy in Marvel and now poor Weasel is kind of stuck with him. XD Man, if the Hulks meet Grundy then that poor bar is going to really get smashed.....)

@notatomo (GIANT. Man I loved that movie as a kid and I LOVE the subsequent giant robot and tiny kid works inspired from it (example being the CRIMINALLY under-appreciated Sentinel series by UDON.) Can’t wait to see what happens when Grundy talks more to someone bigger than him. XD)

@killcrcroc (BIG BAD KILLER CROC! I love your Waylon and I adore how he has a collection of watches and that awesome suit. XD Croc definitely deserves more love since he’s much smarter than he looks, and tough enough to even get Grundy to back down in a serious fight.)

@babydxhl (Baby Doll is criminally underappreciated and I love how she’s the opposite to Grundy. She looks child-like but is very crafty, mature and knows how to get what she wants, while Grundy is physically strong and big enough to bully his way into anything he wants, but is very simple and child-like and would rather watch the birds. XD)

@theednygma (An awesome Ed Nygma and I love how Grundy is so unsure of everything yet still goes along for the ride as a support. XD)

@sleightlyoffhand (BUNNY MAN! Okay the idea of Josiah monching on carrots in Grundy’s pocket makes me smile so much. XD)

@the-arkham-librarian ( I love Eliza so much! She’s crafty, stubborn, sweet and kind and just cares about everyone so much when few don’t. Grundy grew so attached to her I swear she’s like his little sister at this point. XD And he’s totes the best uncle along with Eddie.)

@gothamdad (YET ANOTHER AWESOME BATMAN. :D)

@redsleuthed (TIM! I love Tim and I swear these two should talk more because Grundy doesn’t WANT to fight and I think just letting someone hear him out would help him immensely.

Plus that stuff with Freeze? Poetic cinema.)

@pluckyingenue

@seekthedarknesswithin (SHADE! I love Shade in Justice League where he constantly throws Shade at everyone so you can imagine how excited I was to see Shade on Tumblr! We haven’t done much but man.....even Grundy was excited to see an old friend from the Injustice Society/ Injustice Gang.)

@starfirechan (You’re Starfire is so freaking CUTE! I love how she and Grundy get along so well since they’re kind of two misfits that aren’t very well-versed in city life. XD)

@gotham-crusader/ @maximummuses (One of the best Batman and Damian Wayne RPers out there! I have a lot of fun with our threads and even if they fizzle out there is so much heart to them that they’re some of my absolute favorites no matter what muse I put on. C:)

@teufortsquidman (PRAWN! Okay, a giant mega-zombie and an Eldritch abomination? Yeah they’re gonna be good pals lol. XD)

@tragedybcrn (Hands down one of the BEST Batman RPers I’ve talked to and plotted with. I love how Bruce helps Freeze and even Grundy try to be better than just crooks. Grundy though has had so many bad experiences that he can’t trust anyone anymore unless there is some SERIOUS help. But he’ll learn to at least try to trust Batman.....because Batman was genuinely nice to him.)

@krygothite ( I freaking LOVE your Bane! We haven’t written much but FFFFF0yeah he’s epic. XD And Grundy is kind of nervous about bringing Bane to Slaughter Swamp because Bane is tough but not kaiju-sized gators and snakes tough....

Final Conclusions

A/N: So Fish and I came up with this Dad!Constantine concept while talking about this one OC I created and a few OC’s she created. The one I created is named Maya. The premise of her story is that she’s a love interest for Damian and she treats John like a mentor/father figure since he’s teaching her to control her magic. This plot is basically what has sprouted any of the Dad/Uncle/Mentor Constantine content I’ve created. Fish has contributed a lot and I love her so much. The basis for this interaction is that John finds a lot of amusement in the fact that Damian likes Maya and he just hates John so much. Even though it’s based on an OC, I’m going to write it x reader style with the reader having the same powers as my OC. So now that there’s context let’s begin!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 It’s the opening night of the Gotham Academy’s festival of the arts. The night where young artists and musicians show off their talent in the galleries and performances, and two people who never show up to these things- like ever- both happened to be here at the same time for the same reason. You. And it irked them to no end.

Both John and Damian arrived at 6:30 pm on the dot. Damian looked so irritated to see John there. Why is he even there? He doesn’t even like going to these things. But then again, neither did Damian. He decided to put his irritation aside and began to walk into the building with John. He had to admit, John stepped up for the occasion.

John cleaned up, did his hair, shaved and actually wore a jacket that was not his usual beige trench coat, all to attend some crummy high school art show. But he did it anyway because it was your work that was being displayed. The disdain he felt towards these events was replaced with a sense of pride he had in you. He sported a grey blazer and black shirt with matching slacks, that contrasted Damian’s black suit.

“Nice to see you here, Damian.”

“Likewise.” The conversation stayed stagnant for a while as they looked around at the different works displayed. Neither of them walked around much. The silence was broken when you walked up to them, looking elegant as ever in your green dress.

“Hey, guys! I’m so happy you both could come.”

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world.” Damian said sweetly. And that was a rare sight for John to see. Damian being sweet?!

“Do you want to see my display?” They both excitedly nodded “yes” and followed you to a wall at the end of the hall. You cautiously cut through the crowd and pointed. “Tada!”

“That looks amazing, Y/N. You’re more talented than you know.”

“Not bad, kiddo. It’s the best thing I’ve seen from you since that chicken you managed to turn green.”, John said ruffling your hair. Thank goodness you left it down. If it was done up, it would have taken ages to fix, but since you knew john was coming, you took the precaution. He had a habit of doing that when he was proud of you, and it made your day every time.

“Thank you. I’m just going to check out the ceramic displays, you guys want to come?”

“No thanks, dear.”

“I’ll just wait here.”

“Okay, see you in a bit. I’m so happy you both are here.” You chimed. You had that little gleam in your eye that you always did when you were happy, and Damian didn’t fail to notice. He lingered on it. Just as he did with your smile, and the soft glow on your cheeks. He was regrettably brought out of his love-trance by the sound of John’s voice.

“Does that look like ketchup on paper to you too? Or is it just me?” Damian wanted to roll his eyes and say something snarky, but instead, looked up at the painting john was talking about. It really did just look like a glob of red paint.

“I can’t even tell what that’s supposed to be. If it’s abstract, they did a good job.”

“To be honest, I don’t really get this ‘art’ thing. Half of these canvases look like something a two-year-old could muster.” John said, and Damian sighed in return.

“You have to look beyond the surface. Art is about the emotion behind the paint and pencil.”

“Alright, Picasso, what’s that one about then?” Damian stayed silent. “I thought you were an artist; you don’t get art?”

“I sketch sometimes but that doesn’t make me an artist.”

“Ah, damaged closet-artist.” Damian groaned lowly.

“There isn’t anything in that piece to understand. It’s just paint splatters. Half of these can only be admired for their technical skill; there’s no emotion behind them. If there is one, it’s not one that I understand.

“Whose work do you like then?” Damian gave that one some thought,

“I like the classics, I suppose. The only current artist whose work I’ve liked is Y/N.”

“Interesting, so, what emotion do you get from her work?” John had his trademark devilish grin plastered upon his face. He knew Damian was head over heels for you, and it sure was fun to get a rise out of him with that. Damian was trying not to let his mind wander off to the charcoal sketches he has framed in his room. You drew them for him and left them in his room one day. They were all sketches of Titus, Batcow, Alfred the cat and his personal favorite, a charcoal rendition of a polaroid you took. It was the two of you at the beach with the family, and Damian was smiling. It was rare and reserved just for you, so he couldn’t help but think the emotion he got from it was love. That photo stayed between the two of you, and the drawing wasn’t shown to anyone but him. John doesn’t get the luxury of knowing that. Why did he even ask? Why is he even here?

“Why did you come here?” Damian asked.

“Y/N invited me.”

“You don’t like going to these events. Why’d you say yes?”

“Same reason as you mate, I care about her more than I hate the rest of society.”

Damian gave a light nod that anyone would have missed if they weren’t’ looking for it. “What about you? It’s not like you enjoy school activities and such.” Damian looked a little flustered.

“I wanted to support my friend and classmate. It’s important to her.”

“Right, you wanted to support your girlfriend.”

“She’s not my girlfriend!”

“Aye, but you want her to be.” John said with a smirk.

“Excuse me?”

“Don’t give me that. Its plain as day that you like her.” Damian scoffed and looked down for a while.”

“How did you come to that conclusion?” He tried to play it off like sarcasm, but that didn’t really go as planned.

“You hate people and yet you love being around her. You’re an artist and can’t understand anyone’s art but hers. You want to protect her from anyone who you think isn’t good enough for her, myself included. The signs are pretty obvious.” Damian looked a little flushed but remained speechless. “And besides, she’s pretty easy to fall in love with, I hear. My home phone gets calls from boys on the daily.”

“What?! From who?!?”

“Hehe, and that’s how I came to that conclusion.”

“Constan-!”

“There you guys are! I’ve been looking for you. Art awards are going to be announced soon. Want to go find a seat?” You had just found the boys and were ready to take them into the auditorium for the Art Awards.

“Sure thing.”, John said cheerily.

John smiled and Damian just returned a cold glare.

***

They were seated next to each other and chose not to complain about it. Instead, opting to tense over the fact that they were nearing the end of the awards ceremony and your name hadn’t yet been called. This meant one of two things: Either you were about to win one of the top cash prizes or you weren’t going to win anything. And the thought of the latter had both John and Damian gripping the arm rests of their seats tight enough to dent them. The anticipation was building in all of you, but it flooded away from you when you turned and looked at the boys. They looked more stressed than you did, and it made you want to laugh. Of course, you stifled it. This is what you liked to call “Chaotic caring energy”. And truth be told, these two were awfully similar for a pair of people who can’t stand each other.

It was down to second place. You had lost hope and accepted you wouldn’t win anything. The boys hadn’t, though. They were literally at the edge of their seats, and you swear you saw Damian grab John’s shoulder at one point. Just then, you heard your name called. First place, Y/N L/N, 8th grade.

“Yes! I’m so proud of you!”

“Well done, N/N! I knew you’d be up there!” They could be heard over the Loud cheering from the rest of the audience. You walked up and received your award and you waved at them from the stage. John looked at you with a genuine smile and adoration in his eyes. He knew you were talented, and he was so proud of you for working so hard for this. You had finally gotten the recognition you deserved and the look in his eyes reflected how happy he was about it. Damian noticed too. John really cared about you. Damian saw it now. Maybe he wasn’t such a bad mentor for you after all.

While leaving the hall, the three of you saw Bruce, Dick, Jason, Tim and Alfred waiting by the doors. They congratulated you and showered you with hugs. They had seen the ceremony as well, but they watched it from the auditorium balcony. While you were off showing your plaque to everyone, Damian took an opportunity to say something he felt he needed to say.

“Hey, John?”

“Hm?’

“When you said I want to protect Y/N from people who aren’t good enough… I don’t consider you to be someone I should protect her from. You’re a good mentor.”

“Thank you, I appreciate that.” They shared a look of agreement. Perhaps they had finally settled a truce. “And of course, I’m a good mentor for her. I’m the master of my craft.” John added smugly.

“I saw you light your tie on fire once.”

“Who said that was an accident?” They shared a chuckle. Meanwhile, Bruce and Alfred were making celebratory dinner plans, and you were standing flabbergasted with the boys because Damian and John were smiling at each other??? They walked up to you and overhearing Bruce’s discussion about dinner, Damian took the liberty of inviting John to join you.

You choked on your saliva, Tim looked beyond concerned and when John said he’d be delighted, everyone freaked. Bruce looked terrified, Dick squinted, and Jason was about to take a picture while Alfred just stared.

“Are they smiling at each other?”

“No, that’s not possible.”

“Um, they’re walking side by side and talking without grimacing.”

Y/N looks like she’s about to pass out. Someone catch her.”

[moviemunchies]

I’m sort of doing this thing where I’m reading books and keeping a log of it, and if there’s a movie adaptation I try to watch it before moving on to the next book in the series. So I’ve been meaning to get to Prince Caspian for a while now after reading the book.

This one’s weird because a large chunk of the Chronicles of Narnia fandom doesn’t like this movie very much. And I pretty much loved it since I saw it in theaters? It’s not as faithful to the book as the previous film, but that doesn’t make it bad. I’m still struck by the design of the film, which stands out from most fantasy films of the time (and many today), and it’s got a lot of action! That’s enough to make me dig a fantasy movie.

_Prince Caspian_ is the second installment of Walden Media’s Chronicles of Narnia film series and the sequel to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It’s also the last film in the series that was made by Disney, as they quit because they were disappointed by this one’s reception. Walden Media managed to get another studio to fund and distribute the third movie.

After a year in England, the Pevensies come back to Narnia to find that over a thousand years have passed. The country’s been conquered by the Telmarines who have driven the Narnia creatures into hiding, thinking they’d been wiped out. The Telmarine prince, Caspian X, is sympathetic to Narnians but didn’t know they still existed--that is, until he has to run from the palace and lead them in rebellion against his uncle who wants him dead to take the throne. The Pevensies are there to help of course, but Peter butts heads with Caspian (and his siblings) on how to best fight this war. And Aslan’s nowhere to be seen, except by Lucy, who can’t convince the others to follow that lead.

This movie does actually have a lot of content from the book, just rearranged or recontextualized. The Plot is completely reworked and I don’t mind that because a huge chunk of Caspian’s story in the book is being told to the Pevensies by Trumpkin--that would be a very frustrating way to tell his story in the movie. Some things, like the animals holding faith for Aslan when others don’t, is implied by the way scenes are done rather than outright told to the audience.

There are some things that are in both the book and movie, but the movie doesn’t quite explain what that’s about. The sparring match between Edmund and Trumpkin doesn’t really make much sense in the movie.

There’s also the attack on the castle. This sequence is invented entirely for the movie, and while it’s frustrating in a similar way that Finn and Rose’s subplot in The Last Jedi is, the book does mention the Narnians losing some battles and so actually showing that to the audience is fine. Also I like seeing the way they apply griffins and mice in the raid. That’s cool thinking and I wish to see more fantasy films think about how fantasy creatures might be used on military operations.

Also I really like the design of this movie? The Narnian side mostly keeps the same designs for their weapons and armor, but it’s a lot more worn down, and that makes sense because they’ve been hiding in the woods for a few hundred years. They don’t have new weapons. The Telmarines, on the other hand, look fantastic. For their culture, WETA Workshop was inspired by Spanish and Italian culture, so instead of longswords they use side swords and falchions, and their armor brings to mind a combination of Spanish conquistadors, Italian condottieri, and Japanese samurai. They look more Renaissance than medieval and I love it.

The cast is also matched up to that, with Spanish and Italian actors playing the roles of Telmarines. Ben Barnes is an exception, as he’s English, but he’s putting on his best Inigo Montoya impression as Caspian.

You know what? Let’s talk about this cast. Ben Barnes, back when he wasn’t just playing villains. I remember classmates in high school saying that he’s too old, but if he is that’s because the actor playing Peter is also too old. Caspian is supposed to be the same age as Peter, so I didn’t mind it here. I think he overdoes the whole “YOU KILLED MY FATHER” thing but I don’t think that’s Ben Barnes’s fault as much as he’s working with the Plot point that’s been sandwiched into the story.

William Moseley does very well in playing Peter as he’s written for this movie, the problem is that Peter in this movie is written to be an absolute prat. His whole arc in this movie is about learning that he doesn’t have to be in charge and to let Aslan take the wheel. This would make sense if his life experience was only what we saw in the last movie’s adventure, but we know that he apparently grew up in Narnia and became a successful and wise warrior king. So him being so full of himself here doesn’t make sense. I got over it, as I see what they were going for, deconstructing how a kid might feel after his time in Narnia, but it is very annoying and it makes Peter very unlikable.

Unlike Edmund, played by Skandar Keyes, who is absolutely THE SHIZ in this movie. Having learned his lesson from the last movie, Edmund is a cheeky wonder child who takes no crap from anyone. He doesn’t have that much of an arc in this movie, but he is great to watch, so I forgive it. He’s the guy who keeps his head screwed on straight when Peter and Caspian need someone to keep them grounded.

Anna Popplewell’s Susan is good? They still go with her being the “reasonable” one, albeit a little less uptight than in the first movie. They have this thing in the movie in which she and Caspian are definitely into each other and I don’t think that’s too out there--in the books Susan had at least half a dozen suitors when she was queen--it does mean that a lot of her character arc is dedicated to that, and we know that it goes nowhere. This one clearly implies that she’s having trouble holding faith in things she doesn’t see in front of her, and that’s a fascinating direction that doesn’t go quite as far in this movie as it could.

And Lucy. Georgie Henley as Lucy is still delightful. They removed and rearranged a lot of the material from the book in her character arc which is a shame, because I really like a lot of that stuff. As the one who still has the faith and wants to see the magic in Narnia when even the Narnians are giving up hope, she has to come across as sympathetic and believable. That doesn’t always work, especially when she does things like walk up to a bear that’s about to attack her, not realizing that it’s not talking (there ARE non-talking animals in Narnia, dear!). But for the most part she works in this movie.

You know Peter Dinklage is in this movie as Trumpkin? I find it odd that he made it big on a fantasy show that was billed as deconstructing usual fantasy tropes while heavily featuring sex and violence when he also starred in the film adaptation of a famously Christian book series and one of the giants of the fantasy genre. He does okay. I mean I like that Trumpkin is this grumpy guy who is cynical and tired of everyone and just wants to go home, but I don’t know if Peter Dinklage is acting or just… cynical and tired of everyone and wants to go home. It’s entertaining sometimes, but not brilliant.

And Warwick Davis is in this movie? He was in the BBC series as well, but instead of as Reepicheep this time he’s playing Nikabrik, the dwarf that is even more cynical than Trumpkin and hates all humans. It feels weird for me seeing him as a villain, though I know he’s done it before. I always had trouble with Nikabrik as a character because I always felt like him going full-on evil was… well, everyone seemed strangely unperturbed by that in the book, even if we had an idea of how we got there. In the movie I felt as if Warwick Davis does well in that you get him, and you get where he’s coming from, but not enough to agree. And other characters react to his turn in a way that’s appropriate.

Ken Stott voices Trufflehunter and he does not have enough to do in this movie. Trufflehunter is not that Plot-relevant in the book, but I always had the impression that he was an important character and one of the most prominent Narnians in the story. He’s okay here, but I really thought that he should be doing more in the story. Maybe the filmmakers didn’t think it would fit the darker tone they were going for, if there was a badger running around in many of the scenes? I don’t know, I wanted more.

We do, however, get quite a bit of Eddie Izzard as Reepicheep, which is fantastic because Reepicheep is fantastic. This mouse is amazing. There were some people very surprised that a mouse is going around killing people, but it’s a fantasy film, he’s a knight, and also it wasn’t as if the first movie didn’t have violence? I’m frustrated that the movies don’t go with the “talking animals are bigger than normal animals” EXCEPT with Reepicheep, because it���s pretty darn weird that all the other animals are ordinary-sized and the talking mice are the size of cats. But Reepicheep is very entertaining, very cool, and he’s great.

Sergio Castellitto plays a surprisingly sharp Miraz? Yeah, Plot-wise he’s generically evil, but I think that Castellitto makes him A) entertaining to watch, and B) convey that he knows that he’s the least popular guy in the room with the other Telmarine lords. The book version of Miraz has no idea that they’re plotting against him. Miraz in this movie does, and although he’s definitely not bright enough to realize exactly what they’re doing, by the end of the movie he knows that they’re happy to watch him die.

Pierfrancesco Pavino’s Glozelle, for instance, is barely a person in the book? He shows up to stab Miraz in the back. Here, not only is he not the person who does that, but the movie makes him very uncomfortable with the direction Miraz’s path to power is taking, despite remaining loyal until almost the very end. He’s a complex, conflicted character and I like him. 

And also noticeable is Damian Alcazar as Sopespian, a guy who doesn’t like Miraz, but is no more likable because of it. Because he’s obviously not doing it for any sense of the greater good, he’s doing it because he wants that power for himself. I don’t think anyone mistakes his motives or thinks of him as a secret good guy at any point in the movie, which I think speaks to the actor’s performance.

Liam Neeson is Aslan. He does great, though he really doesn’t have that many lines. Which is part of the point, that he’s not there for most of the movie, so it works, I think.

Also Tilda Swinton’s in this movie. There is some justification for it, but I think it was because she loved being in the first movie, and they loved having her in it, so they just brought her back.

I like fantasy movies with lots of action and sword fights and cool design choices. So no, Prince Caspian isn’t that faithful of an adaptation of the source material (though it’s more faithful than people give it credit for), and I do get frustrated with character arcs--mostly Peter’s. But I still really love this movie, and I have tons of fun every time I watch it.

Movie Night

We love our batbros being bros! Also, in my mind, Dick is like 40, Jason’s probably 33, Tim’s 25, and Damian’s 17 ish. None of these are really set but like it’s a rough estimate of how I view their age gap. 

This is literally a fluffy, slice of life fic. No plot, character development, etc. It’s them being brothers and talking shit. 

------

Of course, they’re at Dick’s place. He’s the only one who’s place is actually meant for company. 

“Where’s Mar’i?” Tim asks his older brother, setting a bowl full of popcorn on the table, next to the pizza and beer. 

“She is currently out with her boyfriend.” Dick chuckles, “Couldn’t get out of here fast enough when I said you three were coming over.”

“Nice to see she thinks so highly of her uncles,” Jason snorts, taking a sip of his beer. “Still not sure what she sees in him, but I know Roy asks the same thing about Jai.”

“-tt-,” Damian rolls his eyes, setting his sketchbook down. “it’s completely unprofessional how Mar’i and Kent treat their relationship. They could be more discreet.”

“Coming from the kid who’s sleeping my best friend’s daughter?” 

“Fuck you, Grayson.” Damian’s brothers can’t help but laugh at the blush on the youngest’s cheeks. Not meanly, just enjoying the fact they can still rile him up. “It’s not the same thing.”

“Oh, of course not,” Tim nods along, hiding a smile, “Dick hasn’t threatened to castrate Jon for dating Mar’i.”

Dick takes big bite of his pizza, “That’s because I’ve spent the last eight years telling Mar’i that anyone who doesn’t treat her right isn’t worth her time. Besides, if Jon pisses her off, it’s him I’m worried about.”

“Can we please talk about something else?” Damian reaches for a beer. Dick frowns, but doesn’t stop him. It’s not like Damian’s never drank in front of them before, but he’s usually a bit more descreet about it.

“Alright, charparro, que pelicula are we watching?” 

“I don’t care, but I swear if any animals die--”

“Chill, we checked that does the dog die website.” Tim looks through the Netflix queue. It takes way too long but they settle on some stupid superhero movie. Really, the only reason they choose it is to make fun of the stupid decisions the heroes make.

“Dude!” Jason throws popcorn at the screen, “No one in their right mind would every walk across a bridge like that.”

“I’ve done it plenty of times!” Dick protests.

“Case in point.” Jason dodges the pillow thrown at his head. 

“Coming from the guy who ran around in hot pants?” Tim snickers. 

“Coming from the kid who stalked me?” Jason rolls his eyes. 

“-tt- I can’t believe you all survived this long.” Damian raises a hand as Jason opens his mouth. “I swear to God if you say it, I’ll send kill you again.”

“No weapons in my house.” Dick reminds the youngest.

“Mar’i has weapons in her room.”

“Mar’i is a fucking weapon!” Jason snorts. That makes them all laugh. It’s nice for them to have these nights when the world isn’t ending. They aren’t heroes, they aren’t Bruce Wayne’s sons, they aren’t the Robins of the past and present. 

They’re brothers. They’re family.

SLS

SLS SPOILERS OMG

Okay, two reasons for this. First, I get morbid and think that maybe I'll get sick and my story will never be finished. Second, I've got SLS-specific writers block. So, since I've plotted 90% of the damn story (including snapshops and a short sequal to follow the epilogue), I'm going to ramble. Do Not Read if plot spoilers are a thing you do not like (personally, I'm all about execution, two cakes blah blah, but it's not the only school of thought so there's your warning before I go off.)

I'm so pissed with myself how I've made so little progress on SLS all these years. I feel so guilty sometimes for working on other WIPs instead of SLS, aka the one people actually read and subscribed to.

Worse, I have the damn this plotted. I need to edit the first chapter slightly, change the tone and dialgue in some parts just a smidge to help complete the circle to the finale. But that's it.

That's right, it's all plotted. All the foreshadowing and action and huge chunks of dialogue are either complete or have been first-drafted (I write like I'm telling myself the story, there's lots of '[blah blah this happens]', it's my process). I know how it's going to end, I've written the damn epilogue already in order to give readers a satisfying conclusion despite swerving away from a clean cut 'happily ever after'. (I needed to focus on my theme, which was breaking the cycle of generational trauma and doing what's right not what's 'supposed' to happen.)

Biggest spoiler: Bruce loves Claire and knows she's bonded to Lex for life. He's willing to bow out and even let her still be a part of Damian's life (Talia is the villian, I'm sorry guys, it's not a hater story, she does us the immense favor of killion Lionel but she doesn't want to co-parent with Bruce, she wants to rule the world).

He tells Lex this after he recouperates from the final battle but Lex sees Claire, the twins, and Damian together as a family in the Manor and realizes he can't give them what Bruce can. Lex's list of ambitions doesn't have 'be the best dad/husband for my alien/assassin family' at the top like Bruce does. He can protect them but Bruce wants the whole package.

Bruce is like 'Kryptonians are, most often, poly. I accept and love that part of Claire, plus, I'm Ace. There's a place for you in our lives if you want in.' Lex says he'll think about it.

The epilogue is a year later and Lex is stressing about calling because he heard about the accident at Haly's circus (Damian made the news for being the one who climbed up to help Dick). He wants to help but doesn't want to risk their fragile secret if they're just fostering the kid (he knows she's likely keeping Dick, Claire wants to be a mom even more than she wants to be Nightwing).

THEN, I have an actual happily ever after. But to get there, I have more stories, and one-shots, in that AU! There's one I really want to write about Claire wanting to try getting pregnant again (all of the Robins - and Cass - get adopted too, at much different ages, Bruce did not sign up for this many kids but Claire wants a huge family and he complains but loves it).

It starts with a whole story about the three of them working through trauma and unhealthy relationship habits and past hurts that need resolving to be a healthy poly throuple. Bruce is ahead of the curve, dealing with his history of sexual assault and seperating his trauma from his asexuality (and trying sex with his wife for the first time). Claire loves Lex but is still hurt (from being pregnant while Lex marries Helen) and Lex is hurt too over missing the twins' first years and struggles with jealousy of being secondary but doesn't want to be primary either. Eventually decides to sacrifice some ambitions to be the faithful lover and 'uncle' he needs to be.

Then, I have a self-indulgent cross-over between my AU and a normal Smallville AU in order to showcase how beautiful and happy and nothing hurts anymore my AU becomes. There are babies and a thriving poly-ship where the Ace character isn't 'fixed', SV!Lex freaks out, and HEALTHY FATHER FIGURES protect their family while I showcase my obsession with the glaring missed opportunities in naming Kryptonian heroes.

But instead I'm on page 65 of an Earth-3 smutty fic that is full of venom, drowning a love story that showed up out of no where. It relies heavily on knowledge of my personal-hobby-writing-Mary-Sue-self-insert so I can't even publish it to feel accomplished.

My brain is just too full of shit to write drama (it makes me hurt) or love (it just gets shit on by my plot because of my brain).

WHY?!?

#SLS #Writing problems #I could have just written instead of wasting my time on this #It is actually really funny when SV!Lex watches Batman in uniform bounce a baby absently while interrogating him #Nightwing is pregnant during that story #Their middle daughter practices her presentation on SV!Lex to convince her Lex not to name the baby a lame name #She's five #SLS!Lex knows she's going to be the one most like him #The world pretty much knows that Lex Luthor is the father of all of Claire Wayne's biological children #it ruined Lex's political ambitions #but he secretly loves giving her babies even if he isn't their father on paper

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPDATING CHEMISTRY! I did enjoy the new chapter! I mean Bart having a soda thrown at him broke my heart. If you give me the bully's home address I'd be glad to go straighten him out for doing that... But yeh I can't wait to see the next chapter!

Hello,

Here’s the final chapter and I hope you enjoy it! It is a massive plot point in the grand scheme of my Hopes for a Bastard Universe so I do hope everyone enjoys it, and I’m glad you brought this story to the forefront of my attention again! Thank you!

Daunting Perspectives...

Bart caught Jaime’s arm when heheard the bug chirping and stood there trembling in the sticky coldness of thesoda that had landed on him.

“Don’t,” he whispered to Jaime.

“Hermano, this is not cool.”

“Just don’t,” Bart repeated. “Weshould go,” he mumbled. Jaime looked ready to argue, but Bart didn’t care aboutthis as he let Jaime’s arm go and walked away. He heard the jeers, and heardJaime shouting for him to slow down, but Bart didn’t care to.

“Bart!” Jaime grabbed his arm assoon as he was outside.

“What?” he asked.

“Why, that wasn’t cool hermano,you should’ve stood up for yourself,” Jaime stated.

“Why?” he asked.

“Because,” Jaime started."Because it matters."

“None of it really matters,Jaime,” Bart stated.

“Of course it matters! You’re myfriend, we were just hanging out, it wasn’t, there wasn’t a reason for them todo that!” Jaime argued.

“Jaime, none of it matters,” Bartreiterated.

“Bart.”

“No, I…” he sighed. “When I comefrom, the world has bigger issues than boys who kiss boys, the world fallsapart!”

“¿¡Qué!?”

“Do you really think I just cameback here on a vacation!? I have a mission dude!” Bart said in a huff. “I’mhere to save my family! I’m here to stop a war and an invasion and to stop themfrom tearing the world apart! I don’t care about a stupid soda being thrown atme or being called a… a fagget!”

“¿Qué?”

“There are so many other thingsto worry about than stupid personal petty issues! And I don’t even know whereto start!” Bart screamed. “I’m all alone! I have no idea what I’m doing! Andapparently me liking you isn’t as crash or mode as it should be! I don’t carethough! None of it matters if I can’t save them!”

“Hermano! Slow. Down.” Jaimestated grabbing him and giving him a firm shake of the shoulders which had Bartstaring at the dark eyes of his friend. “What are you talking about?”

“Ilikeyou,” Bart mumbled.

“We’ll get back to that, hermano.”

“No, I LIKE like you,” Bartstated; using the clarification Iris had given him.

“We’ll get back to that. Whathappened in your time? What war are you here to stop?” Jaime asked softly asthey started walking.

“In my time…” Bart sighed. “I can’t!”

“You clearly need to,” Jaimestated.

“You have to swear never to tellanyone!” Bart decided then, he just wanted someone to know. Someone to know hewasn’t a dumb kid who got himself trapped back in time by accident or on astupid bet; like Irey would.

“I swear,” Jaime stated.

“In my time there’s a war goingon, the Injustice War,” he murmurmed. “It’s all because of my uncle and Jon.”

“Your uncle?”

“Damian Wayne,” Bart mumbled. “UncleDami and Jon were battling a thing, a weapon Luthor genetically engineered tofight New Krypton in the event that they should invade; he called it Doomsday.”

“New Krypton?”

“Kara hasn’t found that yet, butin the battle against Doomsday, Superman, Clark Kent was killed.”

“What’s a Doomsday?”

“Doomsday is the geneticallymodified splice experiment of Bizarro II and the last Czarnian and the hivemind of an Apokolis drone, he was a mindless drone mass produced with the intentof wiping out New Krypton.”

“Hermano, that doesn’t makesense,” Jaime said.

“Doesn’t it? Krypton, a superiorculture and of people who are solar charged under the radiation of the solar sun;if one possesses the power equivalent of a god, imagine an entire small nation?All of them, and with Brainiac guiding them; the ultimate AI who seeks todestroy all life after absorbing it’s information and codes. In my time, Kal-El’sdeath, not only engineered by Luthor and Brainiac is the linchpin point inhistory before Jon-El embarked-on revenge. That revenge has led to thedecimation of the world as we know it,” Bart stated softly. “My uncles lead theresistance, with what tattered remains of the Justice League remains. There isnothing left but internment camps, where Brainiac will download you to hisservice before you are a mindless work drone for New Krypton.”

“That’s… not right,” Jaimewhispered in horror.

“All of this, all of it! The racism,the homophobia, the antisemitism, all of it, is so inconsequential to the grandscheme of what will happen in the next thirty years! It doesn’t matter! Thereare bigger problems in this world than boys liking boys or girls kissing girls.There will be no life on this planet if I don’t stop it!”

“I had no idea hermano,” Jaimewhispered.

“It was crash, you know, beinghere, being… normal, but if I don’t stop it, no one can. I don’t care about thesoda Jaime, or the kids, I’ve had worse. Those of us who remain were internedat camps or work for the resistance, there’s a population less than a half amillion left in the world.” Bart stated. “You know the worst part is, it wasn’teven Uncle Dami or Jon who truly destroyed the world.”

~~~*~*~*~~~

Jaime had just witnessed a switchin his fun loving, boisterous friend he hadn’t expected as Bart laid out therealities of where he was from. This was a soldier before him. Bart was alwaysa step ahead, a step above them, but he had figured it was a speedster thing.

“What destroyed the world?” Jaimeasked.

“The Gem of Scath,” Bartanswered. “Her empathy killed seven billion people because Kara Zor-El killedher best friend, the whiplash of that shattered the reality which we know andthe skies have been black with her soul since. I don’t care about a stupidsoda, Jaime. I care about stopping the world from ending.”

“I had no idea,” Jaime said.

“I wasn’t going to tell anyone,ever,” Bart mumbled now as he looked at his sneakers. Jaime just walked forwardand gently pulled this beautiful boy’s face up to look at him.

“Well, you told me, so let mehelp you hermano,” Jaime said.

“I just want to be normal,” Bartadmitted miserably, Jaime smiled and bent over to kiss the other boy onimpulse.

“We can do normal tonight, there’sa Big Belly joint around the corner, come on,” Jaime said taking Bart’s hand.

“Why’d you kiss me?” Bart blurtedout, his face about as red as his auburn hair.

“I just got a little perspective,”Jaime said. He’d deal with coming out of the closet tomorrow, but for tonight,it didn’t matter. None of mattered in the grand scheme of things, he supposed,especially hearing what Bart had just said.

“CanIhaveanother!?” Bart demandedexcitedly. Jaime turned around and clumsily kissed the other boy who wassmiling and vibrating, the bug chirped in approval along his spine.

I can not even believe that there are over 160 of you beautiful people following Tony. I was terrified to bring him on, as a character who has always been incredibly close to my heart, and incredibly scared I would not do him justice. The love and support I have been given for my portrayal of him has been overwhelming and I can not thank you enough. Below the cut is a list of wonderful people you should all be following.

Till the end of the line

Even though their current blogs have nothing to do with Marvel or even comics, no follow forever would make sense with out my personal (i.e RL) Steve and Bucky to my Tony. The Damian and Dick to my Jason Todd. 

@pinchevaquerx + @wxntdiealie / @fearthxreaper: Red and Linds you two are the best friends a crazy, insomniac, classic rock loving, coffee addicted drama queen could ever ever ask for. Through every fandom, every up and down of my life and even through our disagreements I would be utterly lost without the two of you and I am forever grateful to have found you. All my love- Bia/Hippie Queen Irwinie/Tony/Ashton/Little Nate/Jason Todd.

The Avengers

This crew of three has become some really amazing friends and rp partners. The penchant for angst among us all is wonderfully fun and the torment we have planned for our boys is something I’m heartily looking forward too.

@neverlikedbullies / @wintxrwolf: Foxy my dear, you are A+ plus wonderful. You run with alll of my ideas, no matter how ridiculous and awful they are, however much they hurt Steve or Bucky and I adore you for it. 

@openatab / @thexsummerxsoldier: Lena, you wonderful human being that you are. I am so excited for the ideas we have planned with steve and tony AND WITH UNCLE DUM DUM! Someone needs to keep Tony in line. You defiantly show steve’s summer side (And if I have never waxed poetic about your url remind me to because I HAVE FEELINGS). I can not wait to see where our soulmate au and any others go. 

@sitheachban: Kiraaaaaaaaaaaa,We haven’t gotten to write together yet, but we’ve plotted a bunch and talked in our group chat. You are a wonderful human and I stalked the hell out of your bucky when you followed me, and you write him so well. I’m so excited to do things with you!

Earth-46: The Batfamily

In Earth-46, the Batfam is as follows (arranged by age, below the cut):

Alfred Pennyworth: Alfred has been the faithful servant of the Wayne Family for decades. However, ever since the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne, Alfred has become much more, stepping into the role of a surrogate father for Bruce. As such, he has been supporting Bruce’s mission as Batman from the very beginning. Alfred is the only member of the Batfamily that Bruce is comfortable with using firearms, and is most definitely the “grandfather” of the group.

Leslie Thompkins: Leslie was a friend of Thomas Wayne’s, and helped raise Bruce with Alfred after Thomas and Martha were murdered. As a pacifist, Leslie isn’t too keen on Bruce’s activities as Batman, but nonetheless helps out wherever she can, especially with her free clinic on Park Row.

Batman (Bruce Wayne): Bruce was eight years old when his parents were shot to death in a random mugging on their way out of a screening of The Mark of Zorro. Since then, Bruce has dedicated his life to fighting crime in an effort to do everything he could to make sure that no child would have to go through what he went through. Over the course of the last seventeen years, Bruce has operated as the vigilante Batman and has come a long way from his beginnings as an antisocial loner, having built up a large support network of fellow heroes, both within the city of Gotham in the form of the group jokingly referred to as the Batfamily, as well as the hero community at large. He has recently returned to Gotham after spending the better part of last year on a trek around the world with his sons Dick and Damian and daughter Cassandra, and has begun proceedings to adopt his fifth child, a young girl rescued from the government project known as Cadmus.

Batwoman (Kate Kane): Kate Kane was traumatized after being caught up in a terrorist attack in which she, her mother and her twin sister were kidnapped. Only Kate survived, and she spent the next few years in something of a daze, before enlisting in the Marines at age nineteen in an attempt to please her father. However, her time with the Marines only lasted three of her contracted five years, as she was dishonourably discharged under the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy when her commander caught wind that Kate and fellow Marine Sophie Moore were in a relationship. Bruce’s maternal cousin, he and Kate have a close relationship (helped by the fact that Kate doing her best to comfort Bruce at Thomas and Martha’s funeral is canon in Earth-46). She’s only recently become Batwoman, but she and Bruce know each other’s identities.

Catwoman (Selina Kyle): A cat burglar who stole from the corrupt wealth of Gotham City, Selina is also a “reverse-archaeologist” (credit to @unpretty), stealing artefacts from museums and private collections and returning them to where they belong (she considers the massive heist she spearheaded to steal the Elgin Marbles from the British Museum to be her crowning achievement). Over the years, she has moved away from stealing (for pure profit, anyway; she still plots out heists to return stolen relics) and has begun to focus more on protecting the East End of Gotham. Along with Robin and Spoiler, Catwoman protected Gotham during Batman’s year-long absence. She has also begun a relationship with the Caped Crusader, and has taken in a young girl named Holly Robinson.

Oracle (Barbara Gordon): Barbara lost her parents in a car accident when she was thirteen and was taken in and adopted by her uncle, James Gordon. Becoming the first Batgirl, Barbara spent almost five years as a vigilante, before retiring to focus on college. When she was 20, Barbara was permanently paralyzed after her cousin and adopted brother, James Gordon Jr, shot her (credit for this change goes to @littlemissonewhoisall). Rather than let it defeat her, though, Barbara was able to finish college with honors and has since re-established herself within the hero community under the name “Oracle”, established a massive world-wide communications and espionage network, as well as forming the superhero team The Birds of Prey. Recently, she and Dick Grayson have gotten engaged.

Nightwing (Dick Grayson): Dick grew up a circus kid, part of the Haly’s Circus family act “The Flying Graysons”. However, on June 27, 2002, crime boss Tony Zucco had Dick’s parents killed. Dick was taken in as a foster child by Bruce Wayne and, after discovering that Bruce was the crimefighter Batman, became the first person to wear the mantle of Robin. Since then, Dick has grown into his own hero, taking the name Nightwing, moving to the city of Blüdhaven and forming the superhero team The Teen Titans (now known as The Titans), and has also become the second person, after Superman, that the entire superhero community trusts. He was also more recently officially adopted by Bruce (as Bruce felt for a long time that it would be disrespectful to Dick’s parents). He has a child with fellow Titan Starfire, conceived before their relationship dissolved, and is now engaged to Barbara Gordon. Recently, Dick has returned to Blüdhaven, having joined Bruce on his year-long journey.

Red Hood (Jason Todd): The second Robin, having taken over the role when Dick Grayson became Nightwing. His time in the role was very short, however, as just over a year after becoming Robin, Jason was killed by The Joker while on a search for Jason’s biological mother. Talia al Ghūl resurrected Jason on October 31 the next year, the boy coming back with his anger even stronger than it had been before he was killed. Jason left the League of Assassins and spent the next three-and-a-half years moving from place to place before finally confronting Bruce as the Red Hood, furious that not only had he remained unavenged, but that he had also been replaced. Jason currently remains estranged from the Batfamily, and has taken on an equally damaged protégée in the young girl Sasha Volkova, who goes by the vigilante name “Scarlet”.

Batgirl (Cassandra Cain-Wayne): Cassandra is a very unique young woman. Having been raised by her father, David Cain, with violence as her only language, Cassandra developed the ability to innately understand a person purely from body language. This was done in an effort to create the perfect assassin, but backfired as, when Cassandra first killed someone, she understood exactly what death was like, her ability showing her exactly how the man felt as he died. Cassandra escaped, living homeless for years until arriving in Gotham. There, she was taken in by both Barbara Gordon and Bruce Wayne, and became the second Batgirl, before being adopted by Bruce. Recently, Cassandra has returned to Gotham, having travelled with Bruce on his year-long journey.

Robin (Tim Drake): A young boy who managed to deduce the identities of Batman and Nightwing. After the death of Jason Todd, Tim saw that Batman was becoming more and more violent and so the boy approached Dick Grayson to ask him to become Robin again so as to help Bruce. While Dick did not, Tim became the third Robin and was the first person to wear the mantle who fully established that the title was not just “Batman’s sidekick”, but a hero in their own right. He helped to form the team Young Justice, and more recently, spent the better part of a year helping to protect Gotham City in Batman’s stead while the Caped Crusader was on his world trek.

Spoiler (Stephanie Brown): The daughter of Arthur Brown, the former criminal known as Cluemaster. When Arthur was released from Arkham cured of his obsession with leaving clues but still engaging in criminal activity, Stephanie became Spoiler to counteract this, leaving clues at his crimes in order to help stop him. This turned into her becoming a fully-fledged vigilante, one who was initially discouraged from vigilantism due to her inexperience, but after facing a threat that an incapacitated Batgirl could not, Stephanie gained the respect of the Batfamily and was welcomed into the fold with open arms, where she has become best friends with Batgirl and has started a romantic relationship with Robin. Recently, she helped Robin and Catwoman protect Gotham in Batman’s stead during the Dark Knight’s year-long journey. She has also recently discovered that her father seems to genuinely want to reform, and is unsure how to react to it, having elected to avoid him until she can figure it out.

Flamebird (Bette Kane): Bette is Kate Kane’s other cousin, who has only recently found out about Kate’s activities as Batwoman. Bette has joined the ranks of Gotham’s vigilantes as Flamebird, and is eager to help out in any way she can.

Holly Robinson: A young girl that Selina has taken in, Holly has lived on the streets for three years, having run away from her abusive family at age ten. She is the leader of a group of street kids known as the Alleytown Gang.

Ace (Alycia Wayne): Ace was born in the small Ohio town of Stones Throw. After the girl’s raw psychic power was unleashed, the town turned violent, massacring everyone apart from the child. The government project known as Cadmus took the girl and raised her in one of their facilities, hoping to harness her abilities for government use. Out of the numerous metahumans that Cadmus had captive, the girl (known to them as Patient A-011) was the strongest. However, last year, the supervillain known only as The Joker broke into the facility holding her and a handful of others, taking the girl and four other patients and using them in his latest scheme. Now under the name “Ace” and part of the “Royal Flush Gang”, the girl was manipulated by The Joker into a plot to broadcast and use her abilities to drive anyone watching the coverage of his plot insane. Batman was able to stop this, though Ace was taken back to Cadmus, in spite of the Dark Knight’s protests. Two months later, the Caped Crusader led a mission where he, along with a small group of heroes, broke into the Cadmus facility holding Ace and rescued her. Since then, Bruce has begun adoption proceedings in order to protect Ace (now legally named Alycia Wayne) from Cadmus.

Robin (Damian Wayne): The biological child of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghūl. Raised within the League of Assassins, Damian was left in the care of his father on the boy’s ninth birthday when his mother realized that she would be unable to protect him from Rā's al Ghūl’s plans for him. Initially taking the name “Redbird”, Damian slowly undid the brainwashing he had been subjected to his whole life and, after a year and a half (as well as a close call with Rā's trying to use Damian to restore his ability to use the Lazarus Pits), was able to completely break free of the hold that the League of Assassins had on him. After this, he took up the “Robin” moniker, which he now shares with Tim Drake (not that he’s particularly pleased about that; some things never change). He has become good friends with Dick Grayson’s daughter, Mar’i, and recently, Damian has returned to Gotham, having joined Bruce on his year-long journey.

Nightstar (Mar’i Grayson): The daughter of Dick Grayson and Princess Koriand’r. Though her parents are not together, they remain very good friends and are both 100% committed to raising their daughter together, even if they aren’t a couple. Mar’i is very good friends with all of the other children in the hero community, and has taken it upon herself to show Damian Wayne and most recently, Alycia Wayne what it’s like to be a kid.

CHARACTER HEADCANONS

tw: abuse & drugs

Damian Berry is the youngest child of LeRoy and Hiram Berry. He was adopted when he was a few weeks old when his 16-year-old mother could not care for him and gave him up for adoption. Although he enjoyed singing along with his family and liked watching Broadway shows, he never truly shared his father’s and older sister’s passion for singing and performing in front of a crowd. The thought of being the centre of attention gave him anxiety.

Sports had always been a big part of Damian’s life when he was growing up. His fathers noticed his interest to sports at a young age when he would rather play soccer outside than sing-along with them at the piano. It fit his hyper and rambunctious personality perfectly. At a young age, LeRoy and Hiram signed him up to play soccer, baseball, and football to help encourage his athletic interests. He wanted to make his fathers proud so he trained hard every day to be the best player. Out of the three sports he played, football was his favorite. After seeing his first NFL football game with his uncle when he was 10 years old, he knew from that moment that his life would revolve around football. He was on his middle and high school football team as the running back. He ended up receiving a full-ride scholarship to play football as one of the running backs at the Ashwood University in New York. He was excited for the opportunity to leave town and hopefully make his father’s proud of him.

He chose to major in Drama and Theatre Production. He saw many Broadway shows in New York City whenever his family visited due to his father’s business trips. At every show, he was always fascinated with the production and set designs of the shows and the whole set up. He was more interested in the behind the scenes production than the actual acting. He grew up in an environment constantly filled with music, and anything Theatre related so it was natural for him to choose a career in that field.  

Damian struggled with his sexuality. He came out as gay to his family in the beginning of his senior year. Although his family accepted him, word got out about his sexuality to the guys on the football team and they did not take it well. Damian was the victim of verbal and physical abuse from the football team and bullying from other people in his school that did not accept him. It went on for months until he graduated and once ended him up in the hospital with a concussion and a broken arm. Damian starting getting chronic nightmares from the homophobia and abuse he received from the kids in his school which affected his grades and his sleep at night. He ended up relying on sleeping pills to help him sleep at night that his one of his friends gave him one day, and he was hooked since. Because of the pills and lack of sleep, he is often very tired and lashes out at other people when he is in a bad mood.
