20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you for the tag @waffleinator-inator! <3

20 Questions for Fic Writers

How many works do you have on AO3?

There are 40 that I’ve solo-authored, and 9 that I did varying degrees of work on when a group of dc writers doing a round robin fic collaboration thing

What’s your total A03 word count?

It’s a bit thrown off by the aforementioned colabs, but I don’t want to go through and do the math, so the overall total is 567,072

What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly DC! The comics variant, that is. And within that, mostly Batman-adjacent characters. Though I also have one fic each for the avengers, the silmarillion, and haikuu

What are your top five fics by kudos?

Excluding the collaborations, it’s:

Cut and Run (Bruce crashes Tim and Ra’s’ dinner/business meeting; T, gen, 1.6k)

Deadfall (Canon divergence where Tim died in Red Robin and was resurrected/kidnapped by Ra’s; M, gen, 125k, on hiatus)

Recursion (Tim accidentally travels back in time to when Dick was just starting out as Nightwing, which is complicated by the fact that they still haven’t made up after Damian became Robin; M for mild nsfw, DickTim, 20k)

Complications (Outsider POV of post RR-canon divergence, ft. morally grey Tim; G, gen, 1.7k)

This Whole Damn City Thinks It Needs You (But Not as Much as I Do) (There has been a fair amount of building ust between Dick and Tim after Red Robin. Dick decides to do something about that; E for blatant nsfw, DickTim, 23k)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes, but very slowly!

I respond because is someone took the time to engage with my work and actually write one, then it feels like it’s only right for me to put in an equal amount of effort to respond.

What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

That would probably be the DickBabs with unrequited DickTim wedding Tumblr fic (here, if you like pain)

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

It’s hard to say. Since I tend to be averse to bad endings, most of my fics have happy endings of one sort or another

Do you get hate on your fic?

Sometimes. Usually from people who can’t grasp that limited third person POV means that the narrating character doesn’t have perfect information at all times, or people who are upset that characters don’t make 100% rational decisions 100% of the time.

Do you write smut?

Yep! <3

Do you write crossovers?

Depends on how you define them. I tend to do a lot of AUs which blend elements from other settings with DC, but I don’t really enjoy writing characters from different, unrelated media meeting.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge!

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! My Running (and when to stop) DickTim series was translated into 中文-普通话國語 by SummerVapour and tiktiktiktiktam, which is linked on the fic itself

Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yes; I helped write a few fics in the round robin collaboration series A Journey of Personal Discovery Through Social Isolation. Amusingly, we named it that a year before the pandemic started.

What‘s your all-time favourite ship?

DickTim, to absolutely no one’s surprise :D

What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Probably To Break Every Bended Knee; or, Apocrypha. I really love the setting, but the fic is supposed to be JayTimDick and all the endings I plotted for it ended up being DickTim with Jason kind of doing his own thing. That doesn’t seem like a particularly satisfying conclusion to anyone interested in the story, so I decided to put my time elsewhere.

What’s your writing strengths?

Comments that have gone into specifics have said that my fics have good characterization, visualization, and engrossing plots.

What’s your writing weaknesses?

I’m very bad at brevity, so writing short, snappy fics that also make sense doesn’t usually work out for me.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I pretty much only speak English, so I don’t tend to do it. If I ever had a fic that absolutely needed it, then I’d ask for writing support from someone who actually does speak the language in question.

First fandom you wrote for?

Depends on how you define wrote. If you mean wrote and published, then it’s DC. If you mean wrote when I was a kid and then let disappear into the files of a long-defunct computer, then probably Stargate SG-1.

Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Of the stuff I have published, probably Recursion. Though if I’m allowed to include WIPs, then I’ve been working on a DickTim slowburn on and off for a while now. It’s meant to cover things from when they meet to post-Red Robin, with a fair amount of mini canon divergences throughout. Currently it’s somewhere upwards of 50k, but I haven’t had a chance to work on it in a while. If you're in the mood for it, no pressure tagging @gerryrigged, @marirah, and @themandylion :D

Smash or Pass: Roy, Garth, Dick, Starfire, Raven, Kyle

Titans Go!

Roy: you know the answer. I know the answer. Everyone knows the answer. Smash. 100% I would smash. I would smash him like a wineglass against a hard marble floor. I would smash him like I accidentally smashed my phone screen two months ago while walking back from the grocery store. I want to ride him until my legs wobble and give out. I want to feel his weird possibly sentient soul patch drag over my thighs and give me beard burn. Idc if it's pathetic n52 garbage rat Roy. Would smash. Want to smash. It hurts me that I can't smash. Roy Harper pls come into this world so I can smash, i have dark hair, I am your type. You can dress me in a skimpy kimono and call me Cheshire if you want, idc.

Garth: SMASH. SMASH SMASH SMASH. I want him to hold me down with his big arms and (a truck barrels past honking loudly)

Dick: okay so this is hard. If he approaches me in full Richard Grayson mode I feel like I wouldn't be interested because he'd feel too much like another subby guy looking for a mommy gf to step on them. Yes, he's pretty, but I wouldn't be INTERESTED, you know? However knowing him in his entirety I know he must be a freak in bed. He would make me feel loved. Idk if that's a good thing though because one or both of us might have a breakdown mid sex because it feels Too Intimate and idk how I feel knowing he's staring down at me mid coitus comparing me to his dad. Like even if he doesn't want to fuck his dad there's some level of psychosexual obsession going on there and I Do Not Want To Get Involved. I don't have red hair though so idk if I even have a chance. Then again, dick HAS hooked up with Asians before, so maybe? I just assume everyone in the dcu has an Asian fetish because some senior editor in the new titans age definitely did. Does. They're probably still alive, it wasn't that long ago. Look at all the Asian baby mamas running around in the dcu. Does marvel has this many Asian baby mamas? Someone who knows marvel comics, tell me.

(I have just had my first coffee of the day, if things devolve into incoherence past this point, blame the ice capp. I forgot how much caffeine these things have.)

Anyway. If I want to insert myself in the psychosexual obsession between father and not-adopted son, I think I would choose Garth and Arthur. They're like. All the subtext between Bruce and Dick but for them it's not even subtext. Like Bruce only tossed dick at deaths door a couple of times, but Arthur ACTUALLY tried to kill Garth, you know? And Garth already has precedence for stealing Arthur's fiance, I think he gets off on it, I think it stokes his ego. And I definitely want to stoke Garth's ego, and also stoke other things. I want to make him happy. I'm much more invested in making Garth happy than in making dick happy because dick experiences one moment of happiness and self sabotages himself just like his dad who he insists he has no similarities to, none at all. I would say he needs therapy but he's gone to therapy and it didn't fix him. Also, Garth is less likely to cheat on me (because he never shows up and has no chance of character development)

"But kis," you say, "this is just about smashing, who cares about a lasting relationship?" This is DICK GRAYSON. You think DICK GRAYSON can do a one night stand? You think he can keep his feelings out of it? Dick of "wow Roy how can you have all these one night stands and casual fuckbuddies, I could never," fame. You think you can have a one night stand with Dick Grayson? Either I'm sleeping with him because I'm a supervillain trying to get to someone through him, looking for evidence that can link Nightwing to his every id so I can use it to blackmail Bruce into becoming my sugar daddy, or I'm the newest complication thrown between him and his current redhead of the week, depending on whether the writer ships dickbabs or dickkori. Like I think the sex WOULD be worth it but I think it would also leave me with an emotional void that I would try to fill with more casual sex, but somehow it never feels like enough. Nothing would ever fulfill me again.

Except Roy. Roy could fix me. Roy is used to fixing Dick's mistakes, what's one more to add to the mix. Fuck. I just accidentally made this Jayroy. moving on.

Starfire: SMASH. Show me how they do it on Tamaran, princess. I would sleep with her for industry connections but then she'd be so good to me I'd end up falling in love.

Raven: normal raven doesn't interest me that much but I would absolutely smash evil sexy raven. The one that got Kori pregnant that one time. The raven of "Gar Logan is here to get down and get funky" fame. I do not have a hypnokink but I WOULD let evil sexy raven mind control me just to lure Kori into her bed and disgard me once I'm no longer useful.

Kyle: unfortunately yes I would smash and yes I am ashamed about it. < Wally, probably. He's so pathetic and annoying and I am into it 😔 I wouldn't even be drawn in by his failgirl qualities. I would get drawn in by his pretentious artist schtick. He'd pull his straight man art kid moves on me and it would WORK. Yes I WILL swoon over his passion for his craft and his amateur understanding of philosophy and yes I will romanticize his messy, scattered nature as his natural artist inclination. And also I would get him some Adderall. Yes I will let him shotgun me after we sneak away from a party thrown by an acquaintance half removed form the both of us and drive him back to his apartment (because he can't drive) and make sweet love to him and hold him as he sobs about his dead girlfriend after he accidentally tells me he loves me. And after all that I still won't block his number. I'll be like 🥺 he's such a sensitive soul... and let him hit me up whenever he's back on earth. I could only do this with Kyle because he's on earth maybe 3 months out of the year so I only have intermittent exposure to his everything. If I had to see him consistently I'd get tired and ghost him within the second week. But I would still do it. I would let him pull fuckboy moves on me and it'll work ):

Not Bruce Timm or any of those writers! Don’t do Barbara dirty like that! 😭 But you know I do think she would have daddy/mommy issues. Her actual dad Roger Gordon died which sent her to live with her uncle Jim Gordon who may or may not be her actual dad because he had an affair with her actual mom behind his brother’s back. Jim also cheated on his wife with another woman. Barbara’s mother and stepmother have both died. Barbara would have major relationship issues if all her history was considered still canon. Some writers are just boring and don’t do anything with it.

sjdhshdjddj 😂😂😂 so when i meant daddy issues, i meant the way her relationship with bruce has evolved since her conception as a character (from possible love interest to being a bat variant in 2023), and tho her possibly being an affair baby is absolutely hilarious, i meant that i greatly enjoy the clownery that is her relationship with bruce throughout the years. now critics will say There Are No Daddy Issues, but i think bruce timm would disagree, but in my personal opinion, the writers over the years ACCIDENTALLY gave barbara daddy issues by not keeping true to her ORIGINAL concept idea (aka being a contemporary of bruce versus her eventually evolving into a contemporary of dick), and thus putting her character in this INSANE pickle where she HAS to have a Weird Relationship With Bruce in order to be a bat variant, but now with fandumb’s obsession with dickbabs, bruce timm’s rebellion with brubabs, oracle stans revolt with nobody/babs, and the constant infantalization of batverse characters that portray any and all robins and bat variants as bruce’s “children” when most of them are not, she’s in this weird place where ppl remember her for being creepy with dick, some ppl simply don’t want her anywhere near the bat variants and robins anymore, dickbabs nation is winning in the current batverse runs, brubabs stans got an animated sex scene, AND YET…….. nobody wanna just write her for her and actually give her the time and complexity she COULD have right now.

anon you are absolutely right that barbara has a RICH history that can be used to develop her greatly, but they’ve cheapened out for this cookie cutter shit. i’d go as far as to say that they shoulda let barbara keep her age gap with dick. put it out there that Something Is Amiss Here, but the steady pursuit towards “sanitizing” the absolute wretchedness that is 99.99% of dc comics history……. sad. they forget that this tyler perry shit actually sells.

like let her be weird. unapproachable, even. she is, canonically, Very Weird, but she aint crazy enough anymore smh, the writers keep pulling back like they’re trying not to offend delicate shipper sensibilities. mothafuckas think riddlebabs is ew. bro riddlebabs would actually make her so FUNNY. maybe even let some of her darker traits shine instead of being dickie the heartthrob’s redhead gf. at least with riddlebabs, her daddy issues could blossom considering riddler and jim have a kinda sorta frenship when eddie’s not wilin and off his meds 😂😂😂

#let tyler perry write a babs solo #barbara gordon #anti dickbabs #brubabs #dc comics #real talk

24, 50, & 51 for the ask game? >:)

24. Ship(s) that makes you cringe.

Okay so first of all no hate to anybody that ships these. I don’t have an issue with people who ship them. It’s the ship themselves and how they’re portrayed. First off is Jayroy. Mostly because it’s usually done at the expense of Roy’s character and Roy’s relationship with Dick. I think if Roy had his original personality back it could be very comedic, but it’s usually not, so I just ignore it whenever I see it.

Second is Dickbabs as it’s being written currently. I did actually quite like them when she was Oracle full time back in the late 90s/early 2000s comics. But the way it’s written now feels super off to me and borderline unhealthy. But unhealthy in the way where it’s being portrayed as positive, so it’s not actually delving into what makes it unhealthy which is what makes unhealthy relationship portrayals fun. So again I usually just ignore it and let the shippers do what they want with it.

50. What’s something that bled into comics from a tv show or movie that you hate.

So I really do love the Young Justice animated show. It’s what got me into comics in the first place. I’ve just always seen it as it’s own separate thing from the comics, and that’s how I’d like it to stay. And for my answer I don’t even think Young Justice is entirely to blame for this, but I do think it aided it. And that’s Dick and Wally’s friendship.

Now, I don’t have an issue with them being close friends or considering each other to be one of the others best friends. But it’s felt like recently their friendship has been pushed to the front, ignoring Dick’s close relationships with Donna and Roy. (Rip to Garth. I don’t think any of the Titans see him as their best friend.) And it also seems to be done in a more telling way rather than showing because the only thing telling me they’re best friends is that they call each other their best friend.

And I do really like their friendship. One of my favorite moments was in Titans 1999 when Wally leaves the Titans, he admits to Dick he only joined because he knew Dick wouldn’t have agreed to join if he didn’t and he knew the team was what Dick needed at that time. And of course they had that comic where they had their road trip.

Basically I just hate that Dick doesn’t get to be as close to Donna and Roy now because DC has decided Wally is his best friend. And I haven’t read all too much Wally comics, but I know he should have other friends as well like Hartley who’s just now returning. And yeah it’s definitely not just the fault of Young Justice because the reason why Dick’s not as close to Roy anymore is a factor as well. And we all know why that is. But Young Justice having Dick and Wally be best friends has for sure played a part.

51. Who’s the most misunderstood character?

I feel like I could answer this the easy way and say Jason since like he’s not consistently written ever and every single person has a different idea of him in their heads, but instead I think I’ll answer Cass.

For a lot of fanon character traits that are given to characters, they usually start from something canon that is then exaggerated to the point where it’s no longer recognizable to canon. But for Cass I don’t think her fanon self even started from canon and she was just slapped with the loving older sister trait just because. And don’t even get me started on her speech ability. The amount of people that think she can’t speak full sentences is wild. There were so many misconceptions I had of her before I read her solo which turned out to be very incorrect.

And even some of the people who try to stay away from fanon, it’s hard to not accidentally pull from fanon for Cass just because it’s so prevalent. I notice myself doing this sometimes even though I much prefer canon Cass. It’s just everywhere it’s hard for it not to bleed into things, which then makes it hard for people to understand her character when they don’t get to see the real her.

In conclusion read Batgirl 2000.

#this got super long and rambly #I am incapable of answering these things without long explanations it seems #this was in fact very fun to do though #love getting my thoughts out that I normally wouldn’t just post just because

Rules and Blog Synopsis

So, I realized my rules don't show up on Mobile, so I'm making this post to pin for mobile users' reference and adding a synopsis of this blog's purpose:

This blog was made due to three main reasons: 1) The operator of the blog absolutely loves Dick Grayson as a character, 2) The operator absolutely despises Tom Taylor and Devin Greyson and got sick and tired of seeing their garbage run rampant to the detriment of the character, even if I will begrudgingly admit they had at rare instances interesting ideas, but due to my hatred of them, I cannot stomach any of their published hcs and 3) I have a love/hate relationship with the DC fandom, especially in regards to the Batfam. I got annoyed with seeing a large amount of people just say blatant untruths about the characters and I don't remember the exact post, but there was one about Dick that made me go, "Nope, I'm done with this. I'm being petty." So while this blog was made with the pettiest of intentions, it is a place to appreciate the varied history of the original sidekick and just how chaotic he could get. This will primarily be a blog celebrating what he will do to villains, but it is also just to appreciate weird panels with context of the time, his relationships with other characters and just some random panels I come across that are just fun to look at.

No sexualizing Dick, even when I start to post Nightwing. If you want to sexualize him, please do it on other blogs because I do check the tags and it bothers me greatly when I see it.

I will tag ships if they are in the panel or in the weapon of choice section. That said I will not do anything related to Batcest (and yes this includes Dickbabs, you will not see it here and please don't tag anything with it from here).

Submissions are welcome. But please source the item you submitted. GIFs, images, etc. must be sourced on who made them. Please do not upload edited comic panels, nor fanart, nor panels from fan comics. The latter is due to it stealing engagement from the actual creators.

Don't be a dick to others or the operator of this blog. And remember there are different ways to read things and there is a great ability in understanding how other people can read things differently from you.

Please don't use tone indicators. jk is fine, but there is no reason the one for positive is /pos.

If I think you're actively being malicious, I will block you and remove any reply you may have left. There's accidentally being a jerk and then there's just being a jerk.

#rules #I know this is coming across as rude but this really was made for enjoyment

My Little Star (AKA: Dick Grayson gets an intergalactic package and his life breaks several traffic laws to make a wide u-turn

by ODA08272

Twenty-six year old Dick Grayson is Nightwing, protector of Bludhaven and defender of justice, first Robin, and genuine superhero. He has faced everything from world-ending scenarios to obligatory family game night without so much as batting an eye. But now, he's in for his greatest challenge yet … parenthood. When a baby is left on his doorstep that is supposedly his and Starfire's, Dick finds himself saddled with raising a baby he never knew existed. Join Dick and Mar'i as they navigate life's many ups and downs, and all with a gaggle of supers around. First fic, hope you like it.

Words: 3551, Chapters: 1/?, Language: English

Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Nightwing (Comics), Justice League - All Media Types

Rating: Not Rated

Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Characters: Dick Grayson, Mar'i Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Wally West, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Barbara Gordon, Linda Park, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, Iris West II, Jai West, Alfred Pennyworth

Relationships: Dick Grayson & Mar'i Grayson, Dick Grayson & Wally West, Dick Grayson & Jason Todd

Additional Tags: More characters to come, Author is desperate for father daughter content with Dick and baby Mar'i, this might become Dickbabs endgame, Wally and Dick's friendship is the best, Good Parent Dick Grayson, Accidental Baby Acquisition, sorta - Freeform, it's not accidental but a baby is acquistioned, Bruce Wayne is an okay parent and that's okay, Heavy inspiration from the webtoon, especially for Damian's age and family dynamics, Also I decided that Jai and Irey are 5, I have no reason, they just are, I don't understand tagging so I'm just gonna ramble

okay someome asked about my comics run irks and i accidentally deleted the ask jsjskskjsj but:

*secret sibling/doppelganger - die

* romance plots that are only there bc the ship sells but no one actually wants to write it: see dickbabs in nightwing or bbrae

*killing off characters for quick plot twist and shock and then bringing them back

*bad art, no visual storytelling, pages cluttered with unnecessary text and long ass monologues

*modernising designs by making them simpler and more combat-focused eeew it's ugly I want drama I want fashion, I want runaway insanity, make that bitch couture

*bad mcu style quips and jokes, that can be shared on twitter by ppl who don't read comics anyway

*when cartoons etc start influencing comics canon rip raven

Okay spoilers but last stories of the DC universe was so good

The Titans segment was great plus Dickbabs wedding!!!!! (For 1 day only)

Only gripe was that they accidentally referred to Damian as Tim at one point in the story (he was referree to as Tim 1st and Damian 2nd but was clearly drawn and written to be Damian)

#dc #tim drake #robin #batman #red robin #titans #teen titans #wally west #dick grayson #nightwing #wednesday spoilers

unpopular batfam opinions

dickbabs and dickkory are not healthy relationships bc it doesn’t matter who he’s with dick will always be too in love with both of them to only be with one of them which leads to cheating

dick didn’t handle the robin situation well. i believe he should’ve either had no robin or kept tim as robin bc thrusting damian into robin fueled his entitlement and fueled tim’s abandonment issues.

jason calling tim replacement in fanon!batfam is fucking rude and not endearing bc that’s hypocritical

damian isn’t a demon believe it or not he’s not a nightmare to be around and he’s still a little kid so the hate against him is stupid and is still learning bc his mom was an asshole and put him somewhere new where everything he knows is wrong

this isn’t unpopular but it’s an opinion but every robin reminds me of they don’t really care about us by micheal jackson

fanfics where damian and tim become friends after a traumatic experience have a stupid concept

timbart would be a better relationship than timkon

people who bring tim down to praise stephanie are assholes

timsteph is an unhealthy relationship

bruce, dick and damian should stay single (not trying to be mean)

everyone in the batfam should have ptsd

damian and tim both show signs of self esteem issues and anxiety issues

TIM JASON AND DAMIAN ARE PRETTY i am sick and tired of people saying they’re ugly

duke should get recognized more and is a great superhero and should be seen as such

bruce becoming batman after his parents death was stupid on his part all he did was give motivation to criminals, adopt some kids and died then fake died with his oldest son

bruce handled the damian ACCIDENTALLY killing dick situation wrong in injustice

ATTACK ME IF YOU DISAGREE I DARE YOU

I’ve decided to update the fic masterlist because - congratulate me! I finished the codename: all the dead doves in the world! Seriously, that fic kicked my ass with the prejudice. It’s only 8k, and I wrote 5 of it in like two or three days, and then just. The most horrible parts, it took me like a month. But whatever! It’s done and over with.

the deadest doves left me unable to write for a long while, and even when I manage to do it, it’s a struggle. So I need a little help with figuring out a posting schedule for my WIPs. Obviously, I won’t be able to do all at once, so I’m trying to prioritize. So far I think it’s going to look like this:

1) Lost in the In-Between - definitely

2) Jason runs away earlier

3) maybe hey, judas? or i wish we met before? Response and Responsibilities? something else?

4) not really time travel

So far, the list of my WIPs looks like:

1) 11K Jason&Steph, Jason&Bruce, Steph&Bruce DitF AU, Shiva is Jason’s mother AU: i wish we met before (though it’s mostly on ao3)

Jason Todd doesn’t believe a word an adult says, truth serum or no truth serum. So when DNA test shows him Lady Shiva is his biological mother, he abandons his quest, choosing instead to help Batman apprehend the Joker. It changes things a lot and not at all.

2) 7K Jason & Bruce & Steph & Cass, UtRH AU/No War Games/Robin!Steph/Batgirl Cass/Not Red Hood!Jason: perspective (on ao3)

There’s some value in learning from the best. Knowledge is priceless. It can literally turn your life around.

3) 5.5K Jason Todd, Roy Harper, Dick Grayson, Cassandra Cain, Damian Wayne, Stephanie Brown, Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne, no capes!AU: priorities (most of it on ao3 tho)

Anonymous asked: Prompt: Damian and Jon need a baby sitter for a night, and Jason is the only person available.

4) 5K Brujay, DickBabs, StephCass, Tim Drake, Alfred Pennyworth, tw: accidental incest, Amnesia: Good Intentions (on ao3)

After Bruce almost loses his life fighting the Joker and completely loses his memories, his old guardian decides it would be better if his children, still leading vigilante life, stayed away for his sake. That made Bruce’s life less dangerous, sure. But it also opened him up to a threat nobody could have predicted.

from the same universe as Old Feelings linked above

4) 6K Jason Todd&Sasha, Batfam BftC AU/omega!Jason: Response and Responsibilities (on ao3)

If Jason watched Bruce’s last words on any other day, he might have had a different reaction. He would be fronting at the mouth, he is self-aware enough to tell. He would be full of desire to prove something, to Bruce, to himself, to all the citizens of Gotham. He wasn’t a failure. Instead, what he got, was - tired.

5) 2.5K Stephanie Brown/Talia al Ghul, post UtRH, noir-ish: Look

Steph gets ambushed by a mysterious woman in need of her help.

6) +/-7K Jason&Bruce Platonic Soulmates/UtRH AU/Secret Identities: Soulmate AU

7) 11K Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Bruce Wayne, Barbara Gordon, Rena, Jason Todd, and characters to be added; docu series, Jason in prison!AU: hey, judas

8) 3K Talia al Ghul, Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson, other characters and pairings to be added, AU: good life

They were living a good life. Damian’s parents said so.

9) <1K Jason Todd/Kent Parson, crossover, AU, working title: Woke Up Married

10) <1K Jason Todd, Amnesia, YJ universe, AU: Young Justice: Outlaw

11) 22K written, 6k posted so far. Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, with Roy Harper, Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon coming right up: Jason runs away earlier.

12) Not posted! 3K, Talia al Ghul, Damian Wayne, Jason Todd. reasons to be missed.

13) Not posted, 5.2K, Post-underage Brujay, POV Outsider, Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne, Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne: codename not really time travel

14) 8K fae!AU jaysteph crossover with Dresden Files: Lost in the In-Between

A tale about a girl without a name and a bird-entrepreneur. Of a sort.

15) 1,2K Bruce Wayne & Jason Todd, gen, AU, codename: marriage of convenience

If you have any input on which stories should be prioritized, let me know.

Upside

I've had this idea since I watched The Upside. There was this one scene that I thought would be perfect for a DickBabs one shot and now I've finally gotten around to writing it.

-o-o-o-o-

"Oops, there's a puddle-" Dick said. He adjusted his grip on the two handles in front of him, veering right, almost hitting an elderly couple holding hands with his very own Barbara.

"Dick!" Barbara yelled, mostly in exasperation but Dick could hear the amusement in her voice. He laughed and righted the wheelchair as the elderly couple gave them grumpy looks.

"Dick's my name," he insisted, holding back chuckles, "she's just saying my name!"

Barbara burst into laughter, "No, I was calling you a dick!"

The couple rolled their eyes, as if to say 'dang kids these days' before they began to walk away. Dick and Barbara continue to laugh as thunder rumbled in the distance and small drops bounced off the sidewalks and roads of Gotham, reflecting yellow from the street lamps and the moon persistently shining through the smog in the air. It was a crappy night, but most nights were crappy in Gotham. One had to make the most of it.

Barbara sighed in content and leaned back against her chair, folding her arms in front of her tightly and snuggling deeper into her jacket. Dick hummed softly behind her, a familiar tune.

Happy birthday to you~

They continued like that in the drizzling rain down the streets of Gotham until Barbara's apartment building came into view and she suddenly felt trapped. She and Dick had a wonderful date, such a beautifully fun day that she had almost forgotten how miserable she was, how she was crippled and disabled, but the sight of her apartment complex always reminded her that just a few months ago, she gained a bullet wound to her spine by Gotham's very own Joker in that very building. She had considered moving out on multiple occasions to get away from his laughter and his smiling face, away from the fear that sparked her heart every time she opened the door almost expecting to see a purple suit and green hair.

She suddenly didn't want Dick pushing her wheelchair anymore.

"Let go," she said quietly and Dick immediately listened, folding his hands into his jacket pockets as she put her gloved hands on the wheels of her chair. She'd always be thankful to him for that… listening to her.

"So I was thinking," Dick started, walking up besides her like nothing happened, "of extending my stay here a bit before I head back to Blüdhaven."

Barbara glanced at him before she hummed and let Dick open the door to the complex building. The handicap button was always broken. She wheeled her chair inside and made her way over to the elevator with Dick trailing after her. "Does this have to do about that new kid? Tim?"

Dick pressed the elevator button. "Somewhat. Bruce is still morning… from what I've seen so far he isn't giving Tim much freedom in anything, he's afraid the same thing will happen to Tim that happened to…" he cleared his throat as the elevator doors screeched open, she was sure they were both thinking of a pale face that had taken so much from them, "anyway, that's only half the reason." Barbara and Dick walked into the elevator and the doors shut behind them. Dick smiled down at her, "I want to spend more time with you."

Barbara smiled and reached out to grab his hand. He squeezed her fingers as the elevator began to rise. "What about your job?"

"The bar can last without me for a little while."

"Then I'd like if you stayed a bit."

Dick let out a laugh through his nose and turned to the doors as they opened. They both made their way over to her apartment in comfortable silence. She stopped by the door and dug through her purse for her keys before she stuck then up into the door knob. With a click, the door began to swing open to reveal darkness. Dick opened the door the rest of the way and walk in ahead of her. She put her keys back and then wheeled herself in, thinking about maybe binging some Netflix or something before going to bed, but right as the door shut behind her, the lights flashed on and she was suddenly facing dozens of faces in her own home.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARBARA!"

She stopped still in shock as she stared at each face in front of her. Wally, Roy, Donna, and so many others that she knew on the Batgirl side of things were smiling down at her, clapping and whooping like she was a star; her civilian friends and neighbors welcomed her a bit more calmly. Her Dad was at the front, holding a cake and Bruce Wayne stood more towards the back of the room, smiling just a little. Tim looked excited just to be invited.

"Oh… what a surprise," she said, trying not to choke on her words. She turned away from the crowd that was already turning on music and setting up cake and ice cream and smiled up at Dick. "A word?"

Dick snapped his head down to her, cutting off the wave he had been sending over to Wally. She could see him pale ever so slightly. Good. That way she knew that he knew she was angry with him.

"Y-yeah," he said.

She hummed and began to wheel through the crowd of people towards her bedroom. She wanted to scream when her downstairs neighbor approached her and put a hand on her shoulder. "I can't believe Bruce Wayne is here!" Her neighbor said.

"Yeah, perks of dating his son," Barbara said, forcing out a fake laugh. She rolled her shoulder out of the grip on her and began to wheel away. "I'm going to get changed into something more presentable," she announced, continuing to her room. She shoved open her door and rolled inside with Dick right behind her.

Her dad's voice called out suddenly, "wait, why's Dick going-"

She slammed the door shut, muffling the sounds of the party.

She took a deep breath and rolled her chair around so she could face Dick. She glared and placed her hands on her hips to the best of her ability.

"Dick," she said coolly.

The person in question swallowed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "Look, I know you said no parties-"

"One thing," she cut him off with her voice wavering, "I ask for one thing and you go and do it anyway. I told you I didn't want a party!"

"I know! Just, everyone wanted to see you-"

Barbara groaned and brought her hands up to her hair, pulling at her red curls. God, she could just kill Dick! Frustration, like a fire, began to run through her veins, making her… making her want to punch something.

"I don't care if they wanted to see me! I said I wanted a quiet celebration, with you and Dad and maybe Bruce. Not every person we know!"

Dick kneeled down next to her and grabbed one of her hands, bring it up to his lips, "if it's the suits you're worried about, don't worry, I already told them-"

"That's not what a I care about," she hissed, tugging her hand away from him. "I don't care about one of them accidentally letting it out that half of the room words for the Justice League."

Dick's eyebrows came together. "Then what is this about?"

Barbara shoved him away. "What is this about!?" She practically screamed. She was getting worked up, she knew she should calm down. Dick was just being a good boyfriend, a good friend, but he didn't… no one understood! "What this is about, Dick, is that there is so much in my life that I'm not in control of anymore! The least you could have done is respected my request! That's all I have left, Dick! But now I have to go out there and-" she gasped for air. She was freaking out and Dick was staring at her with wide eyes. The thought that she should stop vibrated through her skull but… it was like the dam broke. Now that she started, she couldn't stop. Her voice raised an octave when she continued. "I have to go out there and deal with their pitying looks. Oh look! There's Barbara Gordon, such a shame she's in that chair. The Joker did that to her!"

"Babs-"

"You don't understand!" She was shaking. "You don't know what it's like to be stared at like that! They lean down when they talk to me, they look at the chair before me, they- they-"

She looked to the side and saw a pillow on the ground. She bent forwards and grabbed it before launching it right at Dick's stupid face, yelling.

Dick, sharp as ever, grabbed the pillow in mid air and stood up, holding it out like he couldn't quite believe whatever was happening was happening. Barbara had thought that throwing it would be satisfying… but it wasn't. Oh God, nothing was satisfying anymore. God, she didn't want to throw anything… she wanted… she wanted...

"I see," Dick said suddenly, interrupting her glaring contest with the pillow. "This isn't about the party, this is about the chair. You didn't want to throw this, did you?"

She took a gasping breath and glared at him. Curse him for knowing her inside and out.

"You wanted to kick this," he said it like a fact, "didn't you?"

She continued to glare and he took a step forwards.

"Didn't you?"

"Yes!" She hissed.

His face went blank for just a millisecond before he looked down at the pillow. Suddenly, he dropped it and cherry bombed it right over towards the bedroom door. It hit with a thud and slid down onto the ground "You want to kick things, Barbara? Break things?" He asked as he stomped over to her dresser and grabbed a stuff animal he won her at a carnival a few years back. He drop kicked it against the wall… and something wonderful and euphoric snapped within her.

"The jar," she gasped, pointing.

Caught off guard, Dick stopped and she wanted to screech at him. "What…?"

"THE JAR!"

Dick turned and saw a small ceramic jar that she impulse bought while visiting Blüdhaven. He didn't ask twice before he grabbed it, placed it on the ground and kicked it across the room, shattering it on its impact. Her heart jumped in her chest and before she knew it, she was pointing at a backpack in the corner of her room and seconds later it was kicked like it was a soccer ball.

"The mug- the mug," she said, gasping, because it felt so good.

Dick grabbed the coffee mug sitting on her dresser and stopped before he could drop it onto the ground. "I gave you this mug-"

"Kick it, God damnit!"

Dick didn't question her again and soon the mug was shattered on the other side of the room.

With that, something so satisfying filled her whole being and she couldn't help but let out a giant sigh of relief. She slumped back into her chair and closed her eyes with her heart pumping in her chest. She heard footsteps approach her and she felt her lips turn upwards ever so slightly.

"If you didn't like the mug, you could have just told me," Dick whispered. He put his hand on her cheek and she practically melted into it. She was laughing now, with tears streaming down. Before she knew it, she was being dragged into the floor and into Dick's lap. He buried her head under his chin and his arms wrapped around her.

"I'll be your legs, Babs," he said quietly. She could feel his voice rumble in his chest and his stomach press against hers. He began to run his fingers into her hair and she tightened her own into his shirt. "All you have to do is ask, and I'll do it for you. I'm sorry about the party... I should have known."

"It's okay…" she whispered into his chest. "I… you were only being nice."

"I'll tell them all to go," he said. He pressed his lips against her hair, but she pushed herself away from him ever so slightly.

"You don't have to do that," she said, "I think… I think I'm good now."

"You sure? It would be simple as telling them-"

She cut him off by pressing her lips against his. He sighed in content and deepened it. Before it could go further, she broke it and brushed her fingers over his cheek. She stared into his sky blue eyes and he returned her gaze.

"Dick, it's okay. Thank you."

He laughed and gently lifted her up bridal style. She wrapped her arms around his muscular shoulders and he placed her down like she was a princess back into her chair. He helped her get out of her jacket and he readjusted the blanket over he legs… which for the first time in forever didn't have an echo of invisible hurt. Didn't feel completely useless. He brushed her hair our from her face and smiled.

"C'mon, there's a lot of people who love you out that door. Let's get drunk and eat cake with them, okay?"

She wiped under her eyes, half wiping away tears and half checking if any mascara had run. She let Dick take the handles of her chair and wheel her towards the door. When they got to the other side, they found, to their horror, that every person in the room were looking awkwardly away from them. Barbara suddenly wondered with the blood rushing to her cheeks how much they had heard.

Dick somehow got the party started again and Bruce later told them that all they heard was a bunch of crashing and mumbled yelling. Even he looked a little concerned, which was so hilarious to Barbara that it was the perfect way to end the night.

Sex Pollin

DickBabs day 5 Mild NSFW and Cuddles

Barbara Gordon turned upon hearing the faint sound of someone landing on the fire escape. She had the night off from patrol because her dad was off tonight and it made sneaking out hard, even though she was 18 now and in her first year of college she still lived under his roof. When she pulled back the curtain she was met by Red and Gold. “Dick?” She whispered under her breath seeing her 17 year old best friend. Quickly opening the window “What are you doing here?” She asked as he helped himself inside her room.

Dick didn’t look at her he immediately dropped his head and began to pace “Babs I need your suit” he spoke

Barbara shook her head “I don’t have it its getting serviced remember?”

He shook his head “This isn’t good” he let out a sigh running his fingers through his hair

“Dick, are you okay?” She reached out to touch his shoulder but he immediately shrugged her off “Don’t touch me”

He whirled around to look at her “God why are you dressed like that”

Barbara looked down at herself “I’m wearing long sleeved flannel pajamas” she moved forward

“I said don’t touch me” he held up a hand without looking at her “Ugh this was a bad idea” he groaned

Barbara eyed him then opted to sit on top of her desk “Dick I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what’s wrong” she said slowly

He turned and without a word strutted toward her, standing between her legs “Dick?” She said nervously

A growl escaped his lips as he clenched onto the edges of her desk his knuckles turned white

“Damn it Grayson” he grunted under his breath. He watch her shift uncomfortably, his mouth gaping open slightly before he kissed her lips hard and forcefully.

She leaned back away from him “Dick! What the hell?” She snapped

Dick gritted “Mm I-sorry” he gasped he was breathing heavy as he ripped off his mask “Getting “ he moaned “Worse” his hands began trailing her body

Barbara reached out grabbing his chin forcing him to meet her eyes she could see little specks of green in his baby blues “You’re under Ivy’s sex pollen” she gasped

Dick nodded his face falling to her neck where he began planting butterfly kisses “Gave all my solution to the civilians that were also hit with it” He groaned and began caressing her hair “thought maybe you’d have some” he lifted his head and pressed their foreheads together “Make me leave Babs, it’s getting stronger” his eyes danced over her body “Don’t know how much longer” his hands ran along her thigh “control myself” he jumped back and groaned “Your dads home right, yell at me to leave. Make a scene, cause I was just hoping you’d have-“

He was cut off by Barbara’s lips on his, Dick pushed her back against the wall furthering the kiss “Babs” he groaned running his hands along her sides “What’re doing”

Barbara smiled “The way I see it you have 3 options, either A. You go to the Batcave to get some solution where you and Bruce will inevitably get in a fight, B. You let this stuff run through you’re body until your heart rate gets so fast from hormones that you have a heart attack and die or C.” She leaned forward sucking His earlobe “I help work it out of you”

Dick leaned forward kissing her again his hands tracing up under her shirt and gripping her breast. Barbara moaned which only seemed to intensify the pollen even more.

She and Dick had only ever gone as far as second base, if you could even call touching over their suits second base because you couldn’t ever actually feel anything. Dick pulled away from her “Don’t want you to feel obligated” he bit his lip “Damn this cup” he groaned pulling at his crotch. She could tell he was doing everything in his power to control his hormones that the pollen was increasing by the second.

“Dick” she said softly

He turned to look at her

“Let me” she began walking forward slowly

“Babs it’ll take more than touch” he whispered his eyes looking down at the floor to avoid looking at her. He knew what would happen when the pollen took full control and so did she. He could become rough but she would be lying if she said this wasn’t a secret fantasy she’d always had.

In two strides she was infront of him. She grabbed his chin pulling him up “I want to help you Dick” she began unfastening his utility belt. “Fully help you”

That was all the confirmation he needed before pressing his lips to hers. The kiss quickly picking up, she jumped up wrapping her legs around him. Dick quickly kicked his pants off the rest of the way before shuffling them to her bed where he tossed her onto it. Dick grunted as he jumped on top of her, putting weight on his elbows to avoid putting it on her “Shh don’t be too loud dads sleeping across the hall” she whispered

A sly grin formed on his face “Are you talking to me or giving yourself a pep talk?”

Barbara grinned back pulling his lips to hers. Dick hooked his fingers into her shirt and pulled the flannel open, popping a few buttons off in the process. His mouth immediately diving toward her breast

“Mmphh- Hey I like that sh mmph irt” she attempted to tease through pleasure.

Dick looked up at her “I’ll buy you a new one” his voice raspy as he jumped back up capturing her lips again.

A little while later, Barbara’s head fell back on her pillow “Oh My-"

“Lanta “ Dick finished letting out a deep breath of his own

“That was Wow” Barbara sighed

Dick nodded “Yeah”

“Wow” she breathed

Dick continued trying to catch his breath “Yeah”

“You were Wow” she grinned

A goofy grin plastered on Dicks face “Yeah?” He sat up lightly on his elbows raising an eyebrow

Barbara nodded “Yeah”

He flopped his head back down again “Wow” he let out a chuckle “We should probably say something more then Yeah and Wow”

Barbara turned to him with a smile “I can’t believe I waited almost 10 years for that”

Dick chucked snaking his hands around her waist “Well it would’ve been a tad bit inappropriate when we met,considering we were kids” he rose an eyebrow

Barbara swatted his chest before leaning forward and placing a kiss to it, she looked up as he looked down at her, gently she ran her hand across a scar on his chest, he watched her as she did “Dick, was I—good?” She said softly her eyes fluttering up toward him

Dick looked down at her furrowing his eyebrows “Good?”

Barbara nodded

“Babs if good is one scar on our bodies you are every injury we’ve sustained” he kissed the tip of her nose “If good is one criminal in Gotham you are the entire city” he moved so he was on top of her. “If good is one stupid thing Wally has said you’re every dumb word that leaves his mouth” he began kissing her neck. Barbara threaded her fingers through his hair “Babs you were amazing-best I’ve ever had, better than I could have imagined,and well worth the wait. “ his lips began to trail down her bare body

Barbara felt herself loosing her train of thought as Dick trailed down her skin

Barbara woke up the next morning in Dick’s arms he was already awake and staring at her lovingly

They had gone 3 rounds last night. Round 1 was to get the pollen out, round 2 was to make sure it was out and round 3 was just for fun.

“Morning” He said softly pecking her lips

Barbara smiled against his lips “Morning”

He dropped his head to her neck nuzzling her, hugging her waist tightly

Barbara let out a light chuckle “You’re a cuddler” She said as she ran her fingers through his hair

Dick picked his head up hovering over her “And your—-well you like to be in charge “he smirked he leaned down kissing her forehead “Guess we both learned things about each other last night.” He said as he settled himself again into the crook of her neck

After a few minutes Barbara let out a sigh “Dick what are we doing?” She questioned

He shrugged not moving “Cuddling” he mumbled into her skin

“No I mean-“ she paused when she heard the creaking of the door down the hall opening “Daddy” she said quietly, tugging on Dick’s locks

Dick picked his head up chuckling “Didn’t take you as that type but okay Kitten” he kissed her lips Barbara pulled back

“Ew no, my dad is-“ she was cut off by a knocking on the door

“Barbara, Are you awake? I thought I heard you talking” Jim spoke through the door

Dick and Barbara looked at each other panicked as the door knob began to twist “Why’s the door locked”

“Uhh sorry I lock it on nights your not home. Habit” she said pushing Dick off of her.

She picked up her panties slipping them on while kicking Dick’s suit under her bed.

“Well open up” her dad said turning the knob again

Dick spun around the room “Babs where?” He stood still stark naked. Barbara tossed him his boxers and watched as he jumped into them . She pointed to the closet. Relief coming over Dick’s face as he quickly went in. Once the closet door was closed she grabbed a robe from the back of the door and slipped it on.

“Hey daddy” she grinned opening the door

Her dad looked at her and smiled “Hey sweetie, what took you so long?”

Barbara let out a breath “Oh was just getting dressed when you knocked” she lied

Jim slowly nodded his head “Oh—umm I was wondering if you wanted to go get breakfast before I went to work.”

Barbara nodded “Yeah, of course. Just give me a minute to get dressed” she quickly closed the door before her dad could say anything else

She went immediately to the closet opening the door. “I bought us about 15 minutes”

Dick nodded stepping out of the closet “I swear I about died when that door knob turned. I thought for sure your dad was going to walk in on us”

Barbara laughed as she dug into her dresser “Here these should fit you” she handed him a large shirt and grey sweat pants

Dick looked at her oddly as he took the clothes

“The shirt is my dads, I like to wear large T-shirt’s to bed sometimes and the pants are mine but I accidentally bought too big a size”

Dick nodded “Noted” he began dressing himself

As he did so Barbara checked herself out in the mirror “Shit Dick, I’m lucky my dad didn’t notice this” she examined the hickey on her neck “I look like I was attacked by a vampire” she dug through her make up bag “I gotta cover this up, what will people think?”

Dick chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist “A very sexy vampire, who wants to suck your blood” he said in a mock vampire voice nuzzling her neck

Barbara laughed “Yeah well-“ she paused when he planted a soft kiss to her bruised neck feeling herself leaning into him again “We gotta get you out of here” she shrugged out of his grasp

He nodded “Yeah I’d rather not be caught in the daughter of the police commissioners bedroom” he agreed they both walked over to the fire escape window “Just so you know” he paused “when I came here last night I wasn’t expecting you to”

Barbara nodded “I know”

“But it was- I mean I really enjoyed ughh Thanks” he stuttered

Barbara laughed lightly “Anytime Hunk wonder. Who knows maybe next time it’ll be me who needs help working out Ivy’s sex pollen” she grinned

Dick smiled “I’d be willing to return the favor”

“Barb we leave in 5 minutes” her fathers voice came over the house

“Alright Daddy I’m almost ready” she shouted back before turning back to Dick

“That’s my cue huh” he grinned

Barbara nodded leaning forward and pecking his lips before he slipped out the window and to the ally below.
