Steddie Headcanon:

So I’ve had the long-standing belief (like many) that Eddie fell for Steve first. Steve fell harder, but Eddie fell first, and I think it was over something that Steve wouldn’t even remember doing.

Picture it:

Eddie’s in seventh grade.

He was held back in sixth grade math, which is already enough to inspire the other kids to pick on him, certainly not helped by his unevenly growing buzz cut and his proclivity toward doodling DnD monsters on his skin in black marker.

Somebody breaks Eddie’s only pencil during class and Steve Harrington, a popular boy who’s never even spoken to him before, tells them off for it and gives Eddie one of his own with a small easy smile.

The eraser is basically gone and there are bite marks all along the yellow painted wood because Steve has a habit of chewing on it when he’s trying to concentrate, but Eddie appreciates it nonetheless.

Eddie thanks him and promises to give it back after class, and Steve just waves him off like:

“Keep it. I have more.”

And Eddie does keep it.

Because that’s the fundamental difference between the two of them:

Steve is a rich boy who’s parents are unhealthily obsessed with their precious image.

If Steve gets a tear in his Henley, a grass stain on his jeans, a small snag in the threads of one of his socks, his mother throws away the “ruined” article and buys him something new.

Nearly everything Steve owns is brand new, never worn more than a few times before it’s swept away from him and replaced.

All of his shirts are pressed and wrinkle free and have that fresh from the store smell. All of his jeans are stiff and solid, never having had the chance to conform to his body and soften from repeated wear.

The most comfortable things he owns are his gym uniform supplied by the school and his Nike sneakers he’d bought for himself.

As a result, he genuinely just doesn’t see the value in material objects.

One pencil makes absolutely no difference to him.

But to Eddie, it’s everything.

Eddie, who gets nearly all of his clothes secondhand aside from the band tees Wayne surprises him with every birthday, as is tradition.

Eddie, who has to treat all of his possessions with the utmost care so they last as long as possible.

Eddie, who knows that if he loses or breaks something, the money to replace it is either coming from him or from Wayne, and he desperately doesn’t want to burden Wayne any further than he feels he already is.

Eddie, who knows and deeply appreciates the value of the admittedly simple gesture, to the point where every single day after that he finds himself searching for the other boy in class, in the lunchroom, at recess, hoping to catch his eye for even just a moment.

He uses that stupid fucking pencil every single day.

He uses it until it’s basically a nub, impossible to sharpen or even hold, and even then, he can’t bring himself to throw it away, not even when sweet Steve becomes cold and distant King Steve “The Hair” Harrington.

He sews it into his battle vest behind a larger patch on the front. No one knows it’s there except for him.

Not until Steve runs his hand over the patch while they kiss in the back of his car and feels the bump there. He pulls back to ask him what it is, revelling in the way Eddie’s cheeks darken as he recounts the cheesy little memory.

“If I’d known lending you a pencil would get me here, I would’ve given you a million.”

“No need, big boy. It only took one.”

Pearl Eye

A Sleuth Jesters MerMay Fic

Movement. A mer swims overhead, speaking to someone, blocking out the starlight. The interloper lays a hand on the rim of the entrance but doesn’t look down just yet, and doesn’t see you, red-handed. Your gut clenches with the urge to flee, your strength already spent in the fight moments earlier, and you heed the warning.

Word Count: 10,800~ Warnings: Blood and injury, violence, weapons, bruises, angst, threats of violence, death, possessive behavior, obsessive behavior, killing, and suggestive themes.

A/N: *shows up late to MerMay with Starbucks and sunglasses* I made it! I'm so excited to share this one shot with you! It's more of the usual for the Sleuth Jesters crew, just shoved into the ocean and fish-ified. The world-building has been tweaked to fit this setting as it's less formal and less organized, but Sun and Moon are still the equivalents of detectives, Eclipse as a mafia boss, and Y/N is doing the usual vigilante shtick.

Eclipse's octo design is based on @xitsensunmoon's art which you should absolutely check out right here! I cooked up some mer designs for Sun and Moon, but they're a lot less tentacle-y (kind of).

There's a lot I ended up not going into for this universe, but if you have questions or want to know more, you can always shoot me a question here!

Merry MerMay! Enjoy ♥

your timing is literally so perfect anon… i just finished the planning for it <3

watcher!grian but the watchers are more like polytheistic gods. grian is the watcher of like war and mischief, and his patrons call upon him to get rid of the king. when his dagger against the kings throat, he feels an arrow against his temple.

he turns to face the archer, he has a smirk on his face, like he knows who he’s up against and just doesn’t care. the arrows are dipped in something and for the first time, grian actually feels pain so he retreats.

he makes it his mission to kill the king and his archer. he goes undercover as a servant for a gala and tries to poison the king but scar catches him.

these meetings keep happening and it becomes a bit of a game. it becomes fun for both of them, the teasing and fighting and ruining of plans. grian starts to look forward to it all.

scar catches grian in the king’s quarters while he’s asleep, about to kill him. scar grabs his wrist, stalling the blade a few inches away from the king’s heart. they flirt in hushed whispers to not alert the king.

scar coaxes grian out into the hallway, and grian wants nothing more than to kiss the prideful look on scar’s face. so, he does. he ticks a finger under scar’s chin and guides him down, looking into his eyes, searching for permission.

he’s gone before scar opens his eyes. the only reason why scar knows it actually happened, was the parting gift of grian’s dagger in his hand. he twirls it in his hand, testing its weight before he sheathes it carefully.

the king realises that scar has saved him countless times and thus has gained his trust, and he’s let in on all of the kingdom’s secrets and suddenly grian trying to kill him makes sense.

he goes through a lot of inner turmoil and introspection. his eyes are finally opened to the awful conditions that the lower classes are subject to constantly. when he goes to sleep that night, he pulls out grian’s dagger and the reflection that looks back at him isn’t his own.

he looks up and suddenly grian is in front of him, a teasing smirk on his face. and scar pulls him into a desperate kiss, and grain melts into it. scar tells him that they need to kill the king, and grian says that it’ll be easy without scar interfering.

grian takes his dagger out of scar’s hand and teleports them outside the king’s room. his eyes go purple, and scar thinks it’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. it’s like staring into the inky night sky, stars to match. grian turns the door handle, the kings asleep.

he plunges the dagger into the kings heart. scar covers the kings mouth, to silence the agonised screams. scar’s jaw clenches with the weight of what he’s done, but then grian’s hand is on his cheek and suddenly nothing else matters.

Waiting

All there is to do these days is wait.

Wait to hear back from that 'doc of hers in Night City. Wait to hear from the most recent 'doc that they don't know what else to try. Wait for the next miracle cure that doesn't pan out, for the meds to stop holding the pain at bay, for the next time she collapses and blacks out and doesn't wake up.

So they wait.

Plot armor but it’s Bruce Wayne’s wealth.

Bruce is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce does not want to be one of the richest men in world.

He starts by implementing high starting salaries and full health care coverages for all levels at Wayne Enterprises. This in vastly improves retention and worker productivity, and WE profits soar. He increases PTO, grants generous parental and family leave, funds diversity initiatives, boosts salaries again. WE is ranked “#1 worker-friendly corporation”, and productively and profits soar again.

Ok, so clearly investing his workers isn’t the profit-destroying doomed strategy his peers claim it is. Bruce is going to keep doing it obviously (his next initiative is to ensure all part-time and contractors get the same benefits and pay as full time employees), but he is going to have to find a different way to dump his money.

But you know what else is supposed to be prohibitively expensive? Green and ethical initiatives. Yes, Bruce can do that. He creates and fund a 10 year plan to covert all Wayne facilities to renewable energy. He overhauls all factories to employ the best environmentally friendly practices and technologies. He cuts contracts with all suppliers that engage in unethical employment practices and pays for other to upgrade their equipment and facilities to meet WE’s new environmental and safety requirements. He spares no expense.

Yeah, Wayne Enterprises is so successful that they spin off an entire new business arm focused on helping other companies convert to environmentally friendly and safe practices like they did in an efficient, cost effective, successful way.

Admittedly, investing in his own company was probably never going to be the best way to get rid of his wealth. He slashes his own salary to a pittance (god knows he has more money than he could possibly know what to do with already) and keeps investing the profits back into the workers, and WE keeps responding with nearly terrifying success.

So WE is a no-go, and Bruce now has numerous angry billionaires on his back because they’ve been claiming all these measures he’s implementing are too expensive to justify for decades and they’re finding it a little hard to keep the wool over everyone’s eyes when Idiot Softheart Bruice Wayne has money spilling out his ears. BUT Bruce can invest in Gotham. That’ll go well, right?

Gotham’s infrastructure is the OSHA anti-Christ and even what little is up to code is constantly getting destroyed by Rogue attacks. Surely THAT will be a money sink.

Except the only non-corrupt employer in Gotham city is….Wayne Enterprises. Or contractors or companies or businesses that somehow, in some way or other, feed back to WE. Paying wholesale for improvement to Gotham’s infrastructure somehow increases WE’s profits.

Bruce funds a full system overhaul of Gotham hospital (it’s not his fault the best administrative system software is WE—he looked), he sets up foundations and trusts for shelters, free clinics, schools, meal plans, day care, literally anything he can think of.

Gotham continues to be a shithole. Bruce Wayne continues to be richer than god against his Batman-ingrained will.

Oh, and Bruice Wayne is no longer viewed as solely a spoiled idiot nepo baby. The public responds by investing in WE and anything else he owns, and stop doing this, please.

Bruce sets up a foundation to pay the college tuition of every Gotham citizen who applies. It’s so successful that within 10 years, donations from previous recipients more than cover incoming need, and Bruce can’t even donate to his own charity.

But by this time, Bruce has children. If he can’t get rid of his wealth, he can at least distribute it, right?

Except Dick Grayson absolutely refuses to receive any of his money, won’t touch his trust fund, and in fact has never been so successful and creative with his hacking skills as he is in dumping the money BACK on Bruce. Jason died and won’t legally resurrect to take his trust fund. Tim has his own inherited wealth, refuses to inherit more, and in fact happily joins forces with Dick to hack accounts and return whatever money he tries to give them. Cass has no concept of monetary wealth and gives him panicked, overwhelmed eyes whenever he so much as implies offering more than $100 at once. Damian is showing worrying signs of following in his precious Richard’s footsteps, and Babs barely allows him to fund tech for the Clocktower. At least Steph lets him pay for her tuition and uses his credit card to buy unholy amounts of Batburger. But that is hardly a drop in the ocean of Bruce’s wealth. And she won’t even accept a trust fund of only one million.

Jason wins for best-worst child though because he currently runs a very lucrative crime empire. And although he pours the vast, vast majority of his profits back into Crime Alley, whenever he gets a little too rich for his tastes, he dumps the money on Bruce. At this point, Bruce almost wishes he was being used for money laundering because then he’s at least not have the money.

So children—generous, kindhearted, stubborn till the day they die the little shits, children—are also out.

Bruce was funding the Justice League. But then finances were leaked, and the public had an outcry over one man holding so much sway over the world’s superheroes (nevermind Bruce is one of those superheroes—but the public can’t know that). So Bruce had to do some fancy PR trickery, concede to a policy of not receiving a majority of funds from one individual, and significantly decrease his contributions because no one could match his donations.

At his wits end, Bruce hires a team of accounts to search through every crinkle and crevice of tax law to find what loopholes or shortcuts can be avoided in order to pay his damn taxes to the MAX.

The results are horrifying. According to the strictest definition of the law, the government owes him money.

Bruce burns the report, buries any evidence as deeply as he can, and organizes a foundation to lobby for FAR higher taxation of the upper class.

All this, and Wayne Enterprises is happily chugging along, churning profit, expanding into new markets, growing in the stock market, and trying to force the credit and proportionate compensation on their increasingly horrified CEO.

Bruce Wayne is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce Wayne will never not be one of the richest men in the world.

But by GOD is he trying.

#batman #bruce wayne #laws of this dc universe say Gotham is always a hellcity #and bruce wayne is always filthy rich #bruce wayne is fighting with everything he has against both those facts #he’s not going to win #but he’s not going to stop either #bruce crying with fistfuls of money in his hands: take it. PLEASE #the public: donate more???

What we need to do is convince all the disney adults in america that high speed rail would be a preferable way of getting to disneyworld compared to driving or flying. We could maybe harness their fondness for the monorail or something, but this is a group of people that has time, income, and passion that we could leverage. If we could direct 5% of the enthusiasm they have for limited edition popcorn buckets into calling their representatives and demanding high-speed interstate rail, we could get it by 2030

#at this point I don't care whether rail is privately or publicly funded #I'll ride the Mickey Mouse Express if it means not having to drive or fly everywhere #if you're on the disneyland side of the country I just don't have as strong a grasp on your psychology as a demographic #but I went to school with some twice a year disneyworld people #if you are a disney adult and you're reading this please don't take it as an insult #I don't think it comes off that way but you never know
