Ktober day 4 - prostitution - Batman x reader

an: Sorry for the late post but I should be all caught up now! As you guys know this is in collab with my two irls @fuckmachine42069 and @honeybeedrabble. be sure to check our their pages

cw: prostitution, cussing, batman is mean :(, porn without plot, this is more like a drabble lol, probs more lmk if I missed anything

read under the cut

———

“Are you feeling lonely again bats?” You asked him after taking a long drag from your cigarette. The fearsome dark knight was your best client. You could expect him to come to you at least once a week, mainly when the robins go on patrol. He merely grunted at you before leading you to the motel room he booked. “What would the people of gotham do when they hear about what their favorite vigilante does in the dark?” You giggled going to sit on the bed.

He went to remove his cape and set it aside. Pulling out a stack of money he put it on the side table.

“Just the usual.”

“Who are you, really?” He stared at you as you put out your cigarette. “Okay so we aren’t that close yet”

“Just make me cum”

----

Your moans filled the room as he thrusted into your tight cunt harshly. Gripping the bed sheets, your eyes rolled back.

“Fuck bats-” He grunted, slowly loosing himself into your pussy.

“It’s like your made for me” His grip on your ass tightened causing you to loud moaner. His tactical pants hung at his knees while the rest of his costume remained in place. His leather gloves dug into your skin perfectly.

The sounds of sex filled the room as you thrusted harder into you.

“Please- I need to-” You felt his hand gripped your neck, putting pressure on your jugular.

“You’ll cum when I say.” He slowed his grip on you and you let out an even louder moan. Your vision was starting to blur and you felt as though you were gonna pass out, when sundely he let go. You gasped for air as you fought back moans, trying to recapture your senses. His thrusts got sloppier and before you could stablize yourself, his cum filled your cunt. He fucked you through his orgasm before he slowed to a stop. Slowly he pulled out of you, watching his cum drip out of you.

“Bats-”

“Bruce”

“What?”

“My name is Bruce. Now lay back” You turned to lay on your back as he moved your legs over his shoulders. Without warning, he licked a long stripe up your pussy. His toungue spread his cum all over your pussy, making you moan even louder than before. He started to lick circles over your clit. You moved your hands to his cowl and gripped it. He moaned into you, causing vibrations to move through your body.

“Bruce I’m gonna cum.” He only moved more intensely against your clit, sending you over the edge. Your thighs clamped around his head as your back arched off the bed. His cum mixed with your own filled his mouth ashe finally moved away from you. Your chest rised up and down with heavy breaths as he cleaned himself off.

“Why would you tell me your name?”

“Your my favorite whore. Take my money and stop getting personal.” He pulled up his pants and rearranged his costume. Without another word, he left you in the room to care for yourself. Rolling over you looked at the cash he left and smiled to yourself at the note he left.

Here is my personal cell. Use for phone sex only.

Ooh, the Dickpoll. Dick like Tim is cursed with having a bunch of acceptable writers who also tend to have a huge gaping flaw.

Marv Wolfman: can I get spicy here? I don't really like Wolfman. Yes yes, foundational to creating Nightwing, he IS NTT - but I don't particularly enjoy NTT. I like the OTT lineup. He's also dealing with the fact a lot of his content is now 30-40 years old. Plus, when they DID give him a Nightwing run, it was the most retrospective thing ignoring almost everything that had happened to Dick since he was returned to the Bat office in 1993-1994.

Chuck Dixon: I don't think Chuck is Dick's best writer. I think he is way too heavy handed with the 'be my own man, Bruce' narrative most of the time. Despite this he also wrote Robin #13, and Dick and Bruce's conversation there, especially "That's the way it is between fathers and sons" is peak perfect Bruce and Dick. He set up pretty much everything about what is now treated by the fandom as Nightwing's 'default' situation - Blüdhaven and a good chunk of the associated rogues gallery. Also he's the architect of well-written Dick/Babs so I love him for that.

Devin Grayson: Devin shouldn't actually be allowed to write Dick as his primary writer because she loves him too much and has elaborate headcanons that contradict what other writers have written. That said, she's actually a solid writer and her runs tend to be much better when she's got other characters around to spread her attention between. She wrote Transference in Gotham Knights, after all! She wrote "Like Riding a Bike" about Dick and Donna in Batman Chronicles! Also as I've said before, part of the issue with her Nightwing run is she got royally screwed over by War Games and then Nightwing Year One right as she was trying to land the bleakest part of a whump run, and never recovered from it.

Jay Faerber: he's...fine? I think the only bit anyone seriously cares about is the Who is Donna Troy storyline.

Judd Winick: Oooh Winick. He likes writing Dick more broken than I enjoy Dick. Also I hold a grudge against him for his Batman & Robin story, when I was desperately hoping someone other than Tomasi would write bearable Dick and Damian interactions in their own title and instead we got a random Jason Todd story.

Peter Tomasi: Tomasi's run on Nightwing, particularly Freefall, has the best understanding of Dick as a character that anyone has ever written in a book titled 'Nightwing'. Fight me. Also he had the only good run on Batman & Robin 2009, a truly cursed book, blighted only by the fact nobody stopped to check basic facts about Aaron Langstrom.

Grant Morrison: uh. um. I guess Morrison was in the loop for the Dick and Tim storyline in Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul, even though pretty much all of it happened in books they weren't writing? Bottom of my list. Seriously, Paul Dini's Streets of Gotham did most of the heavy lifting initially with making Reborn Batman!Dick appealing.

Scott Snyder: Dick's characterisation in both The Black Mirror and Gates of Gotham is actually really good! He brought some really good 'team leader Dick Grayson' energy to the Batfam during a period they needed it, and he gave us back Dick and Cass having a functional relationship together.

Anyone I think was overlooked here? Hmmm. Not notably, but I'll shout out Scott Beatty, whose Dick in his Gotham Knights run was always consistently entertaining, and who collabed with Dixon for a bunch of things I think have great Dick in them (Joker's Last Laugh, Batgirl Year One, Robin Year One).

So here's what I've been up to

Despite the years of relative silence, I actually HAVE been writing, and writing a lot. Most of it just isn't public yet.

September 2021 to January 2023: Planned and outlined a FFXV alternate universe collab with @crazyloststar. (~20,000 words)

January 2023 to present: Started writing the FFXV alternate universe collab. (~76,000 words; 21/36 chapters written; no chapters posted)

January 2023 to August 2023: Took notes for and outlined a FE3H fic about Lysithea returning to Ordelia and dismantling her house, while also being in a long-distance relationship with Claude. (~9,000 words)

September 2023 to present: Started writing the FE3H fic. (~20,000 words; 6/14 chapters written; no chapters posted)

February 2024 to March 2024: Outlined For Some Desperate Glory, a Batman fic where Red Hood kidnaps Bruce Wayne instead of taking over the drug trade. (~7,000 words)

February 2024 to present: Started writing For Some Desperate Glory. (~5,000 words; 1/12 chapters written; 1 chapter posted)

More detail about each of these projects after the cut.

FFXV collab with crazyloststar

If you liked all of our Borders of Divinity bullshit, expect More but also Different. It's another alternate universe/canon divergence, and it's going to be half again as long as BoD.

We're nearly done with Act 2 (chapter 25), which we're scheduled to wrap up next month. We'll be doing a massive continuity edit at that point (it's been well over a year since we wrote chapter one), and once that's finished, we're likely going to start approaching artists for commissions.

According to our writing schedule, we'll be drafting the final chapter sometime in November 2024.

We'll likely start posting before then, but that's going to depend on art and how closely we stick to the writing schedule. We liked being able to post every week with BoD and don't want to risk having to delay a chapter because we're behind.

You'll likely start seeing chapters this year, though it's incredibly likely we'll still be posting in 2025 given its length.

FE3H Lysithea dismantles her house

I'm obsessed with Lysithea's canon ending with Claude, couldn't find anything on AO3 that addressed it, and so here I am, writing it myself.

Also stealing other shit from other endings, but please note--this is essentially the aftermath of a no-recruitment run. It's Golden Deer, with cameos and occasional mentions of other Church-aligned folks.

Claude is off in Almyra for almost the entire fic; here's hoping you're into long-distance relationships when mail delivery takes ages and is not as reliable as the USPS.

I need to get through Act 2 (chapter 9) and do a continuity edit there before I feel comfortable posting.

You'll start seeing chapters this year; maybe late summer-ish. I should be able to get this off my plate this year.

For Some Desperate Glory (Batman fic)

The first chapter is up because I was extra excited and feeling reckless and wanted to get something up the first half of the year when everything else is still months out from being public.

I've gotten my hands on the deluxe version of the UTRH comic; aiming to read it this month. This is likely to cause some additional outline revisions; the chapter count may actually go down--we'll see.

This is the one fic I plan to post chapters as they're finished; the narrative structure is different from the two other projects and won't require continuity checks/overhauls at a specific point.

Hoping to have the entire fic done and up this year. Wish me luck!

"So he pasted on a stoic expression and gave a simple "No.""

Here's where we differentiated because I shifted to Damian's POV and kinda forced the matter. So we could Get Damian's perspective on Danny's cover." After that was the stuff I couldn't figure out because of this spot right here! Danny's answer had to be "no" the misunderstanding doesn't sink as well if it doesn't.

The memory of tests, the pre-established no-codewords *chef's kiss* because it is always going to be safer for Danny to make contact in some other way. With invisibility and intangiblity even more so.

Closing the box cutter like that, perfect. Danny knows better than to attempt to rival Damian, especially when he's under the assumption that Damian is still acting heir. Oof I can't think of any reason getting called back wouldn't spell trouble.

I love the slight implication with the evil billionaires list and tuckers unspoken question, to me it reads like Lex has also tried to clone Phantom. Which I don't think was intended but, it tracks! He totally would!

Tim's questions, Danny looking to Damian for orders. Yes. Just yes, perfection, right there in front of my face but the question didn't even occur to me. Wonderful.

Everything that follows, YOUR TAGS they look like my notes we were on the same wavelength I swear!

Do you have plans to keep going with this? Can we collab if you do?

See I couldn't bring myself to use the Damian POV because in my mind his internal dialogue would just be. Static.

Like, yes, he's a highly trained assassin. And idk too much about batman timeline but I've seen stuff about how he's had character growth and gotten better about things over time. If he came to them at 10 and he's 16 now, that's 6 years for his personal growth. Learning to care about people again.

But outside of missions the batfam are all hot garbage and personal interaction, and I imagine Damian's had enough growth by this point to get to the "people matter to me as more than murder tools/mission tolls" idea, but without any of the understanding of how to deal without a given context.

And with Danny, the context has always been "avoid/ignore."

Danny isn't a classmate. He isn't one of his adopted brothers that he has learned how to squabble/get along with over time. And, most of all, whatever Danny might believe, he is not a League member. Which leaves Damian with no framework for how to deal with him.

Damian had/has a hard enough time getting over his League training, how does he help Danny get over his? Especially when 10 years of it would have been training he did to himself.

How does he interact with someone he was raised to hold at arms-length^2?

So I figured doing his POV would be too difficult because I couldn't think of much beyond static, panicked rambling, and several mock-conversations on how to break it to Danny that the League is gone without him going off on a suicide mission against the coup-people.

Which is kind of a shame, because you could fit a lot of angst in ala grief for Danny's seemingly emotionless state and guilt for forgetting him (which, not Damian's fault the League just sucks, but people don't stop blaming themselves for things just because they know they don't need to. Emotions be cray).

"Oof I can't think of any reason getting called back wouldn't spell trouble"

idk why but this made me think of an AU version where Damian intercepted the letter but the League actually was calling Danny back at the time (no coup), so they try to find him in Nanda Parbat only to find the (fake) dead body to the resulting tune of: Batfam Grief Rampage Time (TM). Except the League called him back because they found out what he was leaving out of his reports (about the portal & tech, not about him being a halfa) so when the batfam go to Amity to talk to the Fenton's about their "dead" son Amity is walled off w/an anti-liminal shield & armed to the teeth waiting for assassins (bc u know the whole town is in danger of being conscripted after bathing in portal radiation for so long. Call that "League of Assassins Park" at that point - sans the whole cult aspect. Unless u count the Phantom Phans).

"I love the slight implication with the evil billionaires list and tuckers unspoken question, to me it reads like Lex has also tried to clone Phantom. Which I don't think was intended but, it tracks! He totally would!"

You know that really wasn't the implication I was going for, but I could totally see Lex trying to clone Phantom. Maybe he heard about the whole overshadowing thing and was like "yo loyal clone to control the actual superman is way better than a second superman that could (did) go rogue! And this one can even be a (former) human!!!"

"Tim's questions, Danny looking to Damian for orders. Yes. Just yes, perfection, right there in front of my face but the question didn't even occur to me. Wonderful."

Am basking in the positive feedback like a lizard in the sun thanks ☀️🦎🥰

"Do you have plans to keep going with this? Can we collab if you do?"

I thought about making a follow-up, but the stuff others tagged on kinda satisfied the brain itch for me.

But! I could totally see this turning into a fully fleshed-out fic, and I think I'd enjoy writing for it, so if you want to make it happen I'd be happy to collab :)

Bat Big Bang: the courage of stars

Author: @wingdingery Artist(s): @lilituism

Rating: Explicit Ao3 Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationship(s): Dick Grayson/Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson & Everyone Key Characters: Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne, Melinda Zucco, Audre (Nightwing Comics), Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Batman Ensemble Summary: Dick's time at Spyral ends with the Somnus satellite getting activated – and all memories of Richard John Grayson ever existing wiped from the world. After Dick realizes that trying to get anyone to remember him only causes them pain, he decides that the best thing to do is say goodbye to Gotham and leave his old life behind entirely. The only problem is, his old life can’t seem to let him go. Word Count: 50,897

Author’s Notes: At the end of Dick's time in Spyral, Doctor Dedelus activates the Somnus Satellite, erasing Dick's existence from the world. This is handwaved at the end by Helena saying she hacked the satellite mid-mind-fight to add an exceptions list of her, the Batfam, and some others (and handwaved even more by DC pretending this ever happened) but I’ve always had AUs floating around in the back of my mind where the handwaving didn’t happen – where, after Spyral, the world actually did forget Dick Grayson. This is just one of those potential what-could-have-beens. Thank you so much to the Bat Big Bang mods for hosting this event and giving me the push I needed to write this story. And thank you to my amazing artist partner, Lilituism, who’s been so wonderfully supportive of this story all the way through and whose art so perfectly captures the heart of the story. I hope you all enjoy the read! ❤

Artist’s Notes: I really hoped I would get to draw for this story. Dick is my absolute favourite character and I love angst and drama that has a good chance of being resolved. It was quite funny that it took me until after matching to realise I had read and greatly enjoyed Saya's writing before the event. I had a wonderful time working with you, Saya. Thank you so much for being an absolutely amazing collab partner and overall great person.

Because you're getting asks about that post (& because I followed you a while ago & never interacted but think you're cool), have something more fun—

¿What's your favorite song/book/show/movie (you pick whatever's more fun, or all if you'd like to), & why is that one your favorite? ¿Does it remind you of a specific person, memory, place, etc., or did it help you through something tough or help you discover part of yourself? ¿Would you recommend it to others?

&/or ¿what's your favorite post you've ever made on Tumblr, & why's that one your favorite?

~Nico

bless you for not asking me about toilets

my favourite song of all time is "face to face" by siouxsie and the banshees! one of my mum's favourite bands and my favourite since i was old enough to have one (like 5). i was obsessed with the music video when i was little and wanted to do my hair like hers so bad but i couldn't ever get it to work. it's featured in tim burton's "batman returns" which is my favourite batman movie

it's actually a collab between siouxsie and danny elfman. originally when approached with the idea to write a song for the film, she didn't want to. but relented when danny proposed a drinking competition and if she lost they had to do it. thankfully, she lost

youtube

my favourite post is this bc honestly magnum opus

The Decurion’s Wife - Roman AU - E - 6/9

Total words: including all the collabs 292,227 which feels crazy considering I keep beating myself up for writing too slowly.

UNPOSTED WIPS

Nothing. I have posted at least one chapter of everything I’ve started this year.

TOTAL # OF COMPLETED WORKS/FANDOMS WRITTEN IN

21 completed works written for the The Rings of Power fandom

OVERALL THOUGHTS

That I’ve done a lot more than I thought I had, although finishing one fic before starting another does seem to be an issue 😂

PERSONAL FAVORITE?

The Decurion’s Wife is the one I’m most proud of, mainly because of the amount of background research I’ve done. It’s also the story that I feel shows me evolving a little as a writer.

MOST UNDERAPPRECIATED

I think Dark is the Way. Light is A Place, which might have worked better in my head than on paper. I do still plan on finishing it though, so maybe when it’s all together it'll make more sense.

MOST POPULAR

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (although again, most of this was posted in 2022)

STORY WITH THE SEXIEST MOMENT

I’m going to say the birthday sex scene in Good Girl

MOST FUN STORY TO WRITE?

Without a doubt You Can’t Take The Sky From Me!

HARDEST?

Other than a couple of the ‘quick and dirty’ one shots, all of the multi-chapters have had their difficult moments. I don’t generally have a lot of time to write every day and this means that I can leave things for too long and then lose my train of thought when I come back to them.

BIGGEST SURPRISE?

Just how much I’ve written 😊

DID YOU TAKE ANY RISKS IN WRITING THIS YEAR?

I don’t think so, although maybe tiptoeing into my first M/M scene in Three Is A Charm counts?

MOST UNINTENTIONALLY TELLING STORY?

There’s some stuff with Nossë-Verse Galadriel that was a little therapeutic to write, but just here and there.

FAVORITE LINES/SCENES?

My short term memory is terrible - blame my upbringing - so I’m going to leave this blank.

MY FAVE PART OF FANDOM IN 2023

Just feeling like I’m a part of a fandom and getting to talk to and support such wonderful, talented people :)

2024 WRITING AMBITIONS

Working on my confidence. I worry so much that I’m going to be rejected/ignored for not being good enough, annoying everyone with the amount of stuff I do or don’t put out etc. Also, I’d like to try and write every day, even if it’s just 100 words and work on getting some of my WIPs finished!

2024 FICS ON THE IMMEDIATE HORIZON

Decurion’s Wife Chapter 7 - which should be finished by the end of this week

Emma/Regency AU

Three Is A Charm Chapter 2 (perhaps with a Celeborn POV)

Thank you so much to @liminal-zone for the format and to everyone who has supported my writing endeavours this past year :)

A little propaganda for the @tmnt-crossover-polls for our collab au WAFD. @ossadeaurata @marshmel-l0w7 @we-all-fall-down-series

Oh and some lovely mentions going out to @wandering-ghost and Pico, her baby Godzilla from Atomic Pets, @phoenixdeleted and Neon, her future rise Leo who has a habit of adopting people and a mention of Batman and Nightwing from A Heart Of Sunflower by @doctaaaaaaaar

This snippet contains:

Donna: 03 Donnie uses they/she

Raph: 03 Raph

Mikey: 03 Mikey

Master Splinter: 03 Splinter

Leon: Rise Leo

Neon: Disarmed! Future Leon

Enjoy!

“Well, that hurt,” Donna groaned, rubbing her head.

Master Splinter hopped off her shell and landed smoothly on the ground, allowing Donna to push herself to her feet. She offered the turtle under her, Leon, a hand which he took quickly, holding it as he glanced around the arena in awe. Donna caught him by the lip of his shell as he tripped with a fond smile.

“Mikey! Get your butt offa me or I swear-“

“Keep it in your shell, Raphie!” Mikey growled back, playfully nipping near his brother’s face as turtles would. “I’m getting off, I swear.”

Mikey readjusted himself to pin Raph’s body more effectively and made no move to get off the older turtle.

“That’s it!” Raph began to rock his body, dislodging his brother and allowing him to twist his body around and trap the younger turtle in a headlock. “Say ittttt.”

“NOOO!” Mikey shrieked, laughing as Raph gave him a noogie.

“Last chance, little brother!” Raph stuck a finger in his mouth and pulled it out.

“NONONO!” Mikey squealed, “I WILL NEVER SURRENDER TO TYRANNOHMIGODTHAT’SOGROSS-!”

“Children,” Master Splinter punctuated the word with a tap of his cane on the ground. “Unfamiliar territory is no place for games,” the rat mutant turned away, unable to keep his grin in check behind his poker face, “even if they are amusing.”

“Hey!” Mikey protested, “That’s taking sides!”

Splinter did not answer, simply observing their surroundings. Leon was staring around at what appeared to be multitudes of giant stages, like the traditional kind where musicals or plays would take place. Donna had always adored theatre. She used to sneak into theatres like these with Leo all the time; he always let her take centre stage and was even willing to learn how to use the lights to give her her moment.

Donna missed that. Maybe she could introduce that part of her life to Leon. She wondered if he’d ever seen a play or a musical or if he was like Mikey and only enjoyed the art of movies.

“Welcome to the TMNT Crossover Polls,” Donna read aloud, grabbing her family’s attention. “Polls? That would imply some sort of popularity competition or election, but what does TMNT Crossover mean?”

“Crossover means when two different universes visit each other,” Leon cut in, hands flapping away as he tried to look everywhere at once. “It’s usually a term used in fandoms to describe when they combine two pieces of media they enjoy or a set of characters travel from one media to another. Like Jupiter Jim meets Lou Jitsu and they kick alien invader butt together!”

Leon blinked at them, done talking. They all blinked back. Leon’s face began to turn red and his head began to disappear into his shell.

Raph laughed and hit the kid’s back, “I don’t understand most of that, but it’s cool that you do.”

The younger turtle beamed at him, puffing his chest out in pride. Donna smiled and patted the younger’s head, drawing out a churr from him.

“I suppose that would make us a crossover then, wouldn’t it?” Master Splinter stroked his chin as he looked over his four children, “After all, Leon here is a universe traveller. He has quite literally crossed-over to our dimension.”

The four turtles stared at the rat for a few seconds until Leon flung himself forward, face right in Splinter’s face.

“Ohmigod! Was that a pun?” He practically squealed.

Master Splinter simply smirked and held a finger to his lips, “Let’s keep that our little secret.”

“You have officially jumped up the coolness scale to the top, after me, of course,” Leon flipped his mask tails, jumping up and down on the toes of his feet with a huge smile.

“Hey!” Mikey protested, “That’s my title!”

Leon just innocently blinked his little eyes at the older turtle, “I guess you’ll have to work harder then.”

Mikey scowled, poking Leon’s plastron with his finger, “You are playing with fire, young man.”

Leon shrugged, turning on his heel and walking with his hands behind his head, “My Mikey actually wields fire so I’m used to it.”

Mikey, along with his family, stared after the slider blankly.

“EXCUSE ME WHAT?!” The orange-clad turtle ran after the slider, looping a hand around to force him to face him.

They quickly caught up, watching Leon avoid Mikey’s relentless questions. Instead, the younger turtle seemed to be picking at a sticker on his plastron. That was strange. It wasn’t a bandage or one of the pads from Donna’s medical tests. She had made sure to remove them once it was over. Mikey twisted around in frustration suddenly and kicked at air, revealing another sticker on his own plastron.

“Mikey,” Donna called out, putting a stop to the little playful spat between the two turtles, “what’s that on your plastron?”

Mikey glanced down at it and then back up at Donna and shrugged, “Dunno, but we all have them.”

She glanced down, confirming that fact. Donna pulled off the one stuck to her plastron and held it out. Raph, in true Raph fashion, pulled his off his plastron and dropped the sticker, except the poor turtle found it did what stickers did best and stuck. To his finger. He started to wave his hand trying to get it off as his family watched on. Donna, eventually, had to be the adult of the family and rescue her poor suffering twin by grabbing the sticker by the none sticky part and dropping it.

To her surprise, the sticker dissipated into nothingness, only to appear upon Raph’s plastron once more. Upon closer inspection, it read ‘We All Fall Down.’ Well, that didn’t exactly spell bright things in their future. Heh. She should tell Leon that one later.

“Hey, Raph!” Donna glanced over at her ki- Leon as the younger turtle smirked, sticker in his hand, “Look!”

Raph, never one to ignore family, unfortunately turned to face the boy, only to receive a slap in the face for his troubles, gentle and literally. Leon snickered as he stepped back to admire his handiwork for a few seconds. Raph blinked and raised his hand to touch the sticker now adorning his face. His eyes locked onto the still snickering target in front of him and Donna could see the moment he made his decision.

“Oh you’re gonna pay for that one!” Raph sneered, attempting to tackle the slider, who darts under his arms and makes his escape, now cackling as Raph gave chase.

Donna shook her head and sat on the floor next to her father and remaining brother. To her amusement, once Leon got about a mutant turtle away from Raph, the sticker removed itself from Raph’s face and repeated with the void magic on Leon’s plastron. Fascinating. She would have to look into those properties to see if they could use those to find a way to access Leon’s dimension and get him home.

Maybe.

She was still undecided on whether or not to let him go home yet.

“Tea?” Master Splinter offered from where he knelt beside her, holding up a tea kettle that had been over a small fire (maybe she got her more arsonist tendencies from him).

“No, thank you, Sensei.”

“You should take him up on it. It’s really good.”

Donna smiled, “I am well aware, but I much prefer coffee beans.” She glanced back at her twin pinning Leon to the grown playfully, before realisation set in and she did a double take. “You’re not Mikey.”

The larger turtle smirked at her, “What gave it away? My handsome stripes? My winning personality? My stunning physique?”

Donna gave him her most deadpan stare, “You’re another version of Leon.”

“In the flesh,” he grinned with a wave of his metal arm, “well mostly.”

Donna snickered at that. “So is it just you or will I finally get to meet your brothers?”

“Not with me, I’m afraid,” the older Leon shrugged at her concerned glance and pointed at a group of four different turtles. “I’m taking care of that lot right now. It grows randomly.” Right on cue, another turtle joined the group. The older Leon held out his hand, “I’m Neon.”

Donna took it, “Donna.” She glanced at the scars that covered the older version of her kid, “Looks like you’ve had it rough. When was the last time you’ve eaten?”

Neon chuckled, answering her question with another question, “You’re a Donnie, so let me ask you, when was the last time you’ve eaten?”

Donna frowned at him, “Touché.”

The three sipped their tea in silence for a bit.

“Hey! Donna! There’s new superheroes here!”

Donna twisted to see her Mikey charging over to them. He stopped right before the tea, giddy and grinning as he hopped up and down, a comic book in his hands.

“Look!” He held it out to her and she took it with the utmost care, “They signed it! They said their names are Batman and Nightwing! Apparently there’s more of them and I need to find them and collect all the-“

It had been a long time since Mikey had geeked out over comic books. Leo used to do that, always the sci-fi nerd. Leon, unfortunately, didn’t know enough lore to be able to join in with the infodumping.

“Excuse me,” Neon interrupted as Mikey took a moment to finally breathe, “but would you sign this?” He held out what looked like a strangely wordy and legal document.

“Of cour-“

Donna, of course, grabbed the pen and contract and scowled at the turtle wearing her kid’s face. She read over the contract in her hands.

Donna read it again.

She held it out and pointed at it.

“This is an adoption form!” She accused, making her father spit out all his tea as he hacked up a lung. Right now however, she didn’t care and glared at the other turtle.

“Yep.”

“We’re mutant turtles.”

“Yep.”

“We aren’t legal.”

“Usually, yeah.”

“What do you mean usually?” She snarled at him, making sure her brother was safely behind her.

“Normal human laws don’t apply here. That form is perfectly legal in here. I’m pretty sure we all randomly have birth certificates, even if they are inaccurate.”

Now that was an interesting tidbit.

Donna sneered, “You don’t get to adopt my family, legally or otherwise.”

Neon rolled his eyes, “You can stop me.”

Donna tilted her head with a smile, “Well I suppose I’ll have to adopt you.”

The larger turtle gasped, “You wouldn’t!”

Donna twisted on her heel and stalked away to gather her team. It was time for a custody battle.

Master Splinter finally managed to expel all the liquid from his lungs, only to find himself alone, except for a tiny lizard creature watching him curiously.

He held out a cup of tea to them, “Would you like some?”

Splinter’s entire vision turned blue as some strange burning sensation consumed his body. It dissipated soon enough, leaving the rat mutant singed.

He coughed and the lizard wandered off. Splinter missed his old cage in Master Yoshi’s dojo.

That was it! He was retiring to Tahiti!

gotham was so crazy the fact that they had PENGUIN and RIDDLER in a will they won’t they situation … batman and catwoman the ultimate will they won’t they couple were in the show ripe for the taking but somehow they decided it should be penguin and riddler instead who are constantly betraying each other and trying to confess their love to get out of being killed and leading each other on and shit. this was basically unprecedented by the way penguin and riddler have never been an iconic duo like they have collabbed very little over the years. but you know what they got me because despite gotham being objectively kind of terrible i think they did better on riddlers characterization than the batman 2022 did by a long shot and i am to this day a devoted riddlebird fan. like they got me

A collab between me and @doctaaaaaaaar in honor of the great TIESWEEP of 2023!

@tmnt-crossover-polls

I hope you enjoy! We had a lot of fun writing this!!!

“A tie?!” Damian shouts, looking at the group of turtles and doctors across from them. “We tied?”

Now, here they are, sequestered in a corner with four other turtles and four other humans. At least there are humans. No matter how annoying they seem.

Michael pats his shoulder a solemn look on his face, which would be a lot more believable if his tail wasn’t wagging a mile a minute. Not only was he forced to sing in front of all of these turtles, he doesn’t even get the sweet release of getting to sit. He has to do it again. With a new group of people.

The turtles all have masks, blue, red, orange, and purple. He assumes the other orange is a Michael.

“Technically,” The guy who was singing about being a dentist says, “You lost.”

“But we are going into the next round together.” Blue mask interjects, looking away slightly sullen. It’s not like Damian wanted to be here either.

“Woah, Robin!” Michael interrupts, making the other turtles jump. The man with shaggy blonde hair looks over with interest. “Our stickers changed!”

Looking at it, it did. Instead of “A Heart of Sunflower", now it says, “Post Heart”.

“Duude!” Other Michael says, “It did change! No more latin for us!”

"Well, the first word is still Latin, Mikey" says the purple banded turtle.

"Yeah, whatever you say, Donnie" he replies skeptically "So, we're a team right? That's awesome, I'm Mikey! And these are my bros and the doctor squad!"

The humans in question exchange a few, doubtful glances at that and one of them approaches Damian, extending his right hand for a handshake.

"I'm doctor Chase and these are Cameron, Foreman and House, nice to meet you" he says with a smile "I like your Robin costume, it's really well done."

Damian scoffs, ignoring the hand, “It’s not a costume, you plebeian.”

Michael steps in front of Damian, “Hi! I’m also Mikey! Are you guys from around Gotham then? Not many people here have recognized Robin!”

At that, all the strangers freeze up at the same time, giving Robin a wide eyed look.

"No way…" says the other Michael, immediately recovering, his face lighting up with a wide, awed smile "You're for real Robin like, actually him!?" He practically screeches.

"No, of course not. That's just…" says another one of the doctors. He trails off, seemingly lost in thought for a moment before speaking up again "Is your name Dick Grayson?" He asks, looking incredibly put off by his own question.

Damian tenses, eyes narrowing and hands reaching back for his katana. “How do you know that name?”

Michael, apparently doesn’t see the severity of the situation, because he just snorts. At Damian’s scathing look, he smiles sheepishly, “Sorry, sorry, I just can’t imagine you acting like Dick.”

"It's alright!" Exclaims the blue banded turtle, posture shifting slightly, arms coming together and fingers playing with his arm wrappings. Blue is on guard now, and Damian can see the outline of a knife shifting as he moves the wrappings, "You are just very famous in our universe and you don't exactly have… a secret identity–"

"By famous" interrupts the older man "he means fictional. And really, Foreman? Of course he isn't Dick Grayson look at that uniform!"

"So he's… Jason Todd?" Asks the first doctor, absolutely dumbfounded.

"Isn't Robin's name Tim Drake?" Says the woman.

Drake? They’re mistaking him…for Drake? Putting aside the idea of being fictional, being mistaken as Tim is too far. “How dare you. I will not take this level of disrespect!”

Before he can go off on a (well deserved) tangent about all the ways he is better than Tim, and Jason for that matter, Michael places a hand on his shoulder. “None of them are Robin anymore.”

"So Batman is real in your world?" Asks the red turtle, his jaw dropping. He opens and closes his mouth a few times like he's trying to find his words, "Do you have a batarang?"

“Of course he’s real.” Damian scoffs, reaching into his utility belt and pulling out a batarang. Damian tosses it in the air, before catching it, just so they can get a good look. The three younger doctors jumped slightly at this, still speechless.

Michael grins at the red one, “The Batcave is awesome! It’s so huge! And it has a T-Rex!”

"That's really interesting," says the purple one "Of course, if the multiverse is infinite it makes sense that Batman would be a real person somewhere but it makes me wonder–"

"Dude" the other Michael interrupts with a scowl "he just said the Batcave is real and has a T-Rex and you're talking about boring science stuff! Can I ride the T-Rex? Wait! Can I try the batman costume, while riding the T-Rex!?"

“Omigosh!” Michael squeaks suddenly, “That’s such a good idea, other me! The best idea! Robin! Robin can I plllleeeaaassseeeee try on one of Batman’s suits and get on the T-Rex?”

Damian blinks at him, a…good idea? Damian doesn’t think so, not at all. But if he doesn’t, Stephanie or Duke will. He settles for a, “We’ll see.”

"So, Robin and Mikey right?" Asks the blue one "It's nice to meet you. Let's work together and give a good showing alright?" He said with a gentle, friendly smile.

At this the older man shakes his head.

"His name's Damian. Son of Bruce Wayne and Ra's Al Guhl's daughter" he says smugly, "It's clear by the costume, the way he acts and the fact that he's carrying a katana. You are a teenager you should know these things.''

The blue turtle crosses his arms, his eye twitching for a second.

"And you made fun of me for liking Star Wars?"

"The difference is that I own it" He answers with a smirk.

Damian tenses, that’s too much information on him, fictional character or not. Thankfully, for the old doctor, Michael steps in, “Star wars? Is that like Jupiter Jim? My Leo really likes Jupiter Jim. I mean, we all do, but Leo the most.”

At this, the blue turtle shifts from one foot to the other, visibly flustered.

"Oh, I didn't see any of your brothers during your number" interjects the woman, leaning slightly towards Michael with an open, sincere smile, "are they here too?"

Damian watches Michael’s face fall slightly, trying to scavenge up an answer that won’t break the temporary bubble they have created here.

The older man tsks in disapproval.

"And they say I don't have any tact! Something clearly happened to them, Cameron. He's trying hard to overcompensate with the exaggerated cheerfulness but it's obvious that he's very upset about it!"

At that, Michael full on flinches, eyes flitting to the other four turtles before settling down at the floor. “That is rich coming from you, you unctuous man. You have as much tact as condiment man, and even less charisma.”

"Ohhhh fighting words," he replies, eyes flashing with amusement, "but I'd be careful to get into a verbal fight with someone that knows a lot about your mommy issues."

“Hey,” Michael says, “Let’s not fight, please. We’re supposed to be working together.”

Damian glares at both of them, “I don’t take kindly to threats.”

The other doctors give the man a warning glance as the other Michael takes a step closer towards them.

"Let's try to get along. Why fight when we could be friends! It's me and Robin, with them in our team we'll totally win this thing! No one will be able to beat us! And then we'll get an awesome prize!"

"Aren't you getting a bit ahead of yourself there Mikey?" Asks the red one raising an eyebrow.

"Pshhhh of course not!" He dismisses with a wave of his hand.

"Yeah! I’m--other me’s right! We’ll kick their asses! We just gotta work together!” He puts his arm around Damian’s shoulder.

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

Leo takes a long, appraising look at their new team.

The two Mikeys seem to get on like a house on fire while Robin hovers by their side, watching them bicker and trying to hide a small smile. Raph and Donnie are avidly participating in the conversation too, asking so many questions about how their world works. About the Justice League and the many wonderful, fascinating things that are so different from their home.

Even the doctors –except House, of course– seem in higher spirits.

He smiles, feeling hopeful.

Their chances seem better than ever.

"Hey!" Calls Mikey, snapping him out of his reverie "Leo! Who are we up against next anyway?"

Leo furrows his brow, thinking.

Who was it again?

"We're not participating in the next round I think" he says.

"Yeah, true," nods Donnie, "we get a break."

But after that who was it?

"I think it was either two shades or blue or…" he trails off, trying hard to remember the other contestants. He has it right on the tip of his tongue.

That's when a sudden burst of loud, excited voices explodes behind them. Leo turns to see a very distinct group passing by them. Four young turtles, one identical to their own new Mikey, accompanied by an older–

Oh no.

"Ghost in the shell" he squeaks out, voice tight with dread.

Suddenly no one in their team seems very optimistic.

"Come on guys" he tries with a grimace, in a significantly bad attempt at keeping his spirits up "Just because we're up against them doesn't mean we have to lose!"

To this, only Raph has something to say.

"Yep, we're fucked"

Writer 20 Questions

seen via @findswoman!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

177,314

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Dragon Age, fairy tale retellings, and one fic each for Sherlock Holmes and Batman

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

so Fade to Black and Fade to Black and Back, my two multi-chapter smut series for Star Wars Rebels, are I guess going to be my enduring fandom legacy lol. 637 kudos for the first and 452 for the second.

After that it's...more smut, but Talk About It is Dragon Age smut, and I guess my most popular stand-alone story at 399 kudos.

Then it's back to Star Wars Rebels, but Wedding Dance (377 kudos) is a gen fic, so that's my most popular non-smut piece. Braided at 320 kudos is another explicit one.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I always mean to, but sometimes when a bunch come in at once I get overwhelmed. I try and go back and respond to unanswered comments every time I revisit an old fic. Just this week I answered a couple that were seven years old *wince*. It's never too late, right?

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

That's Scenes From Rivendell, no question. I can still make myself cry re-reading that fic. Poor Celebcarch.

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

Most of them have happy endings really, but I'll say the happiest is Marriage of Convenience, because it was written to provide a happy ending for Alistair and Anora--and that's a pairing that only arises out of some pretty grief-laden circumstances in Dragon Age: Origins. So that's the fic that takes something sad and makes it better.

8. Do you get hate on your fic?

A couple times people have tried to chide me for writing smut, which is like ??? Did you not see ALL the warnings? My sister what were you even doing at the devil's sacrament?

9. Do you write smut?

I doooooo. Yes I do. I don't feel even a little bit bad about it, either.

Sex is important! It's one of the most intense, emotion-rich experiences in life! Especially in a love story--there is nothing that will tell you more about the dynamic between two people than showing how they have sex. And the smut is the part that's usually left out in mainstream media, so it's the big "missing piece" that I am often drawn to want to fill in, creatively.

10. Do you write crossovers?

I haven't, but it would be a fun challenge.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes and it's the best feeling every time. Same for getting podfic made of my stories, or fanart. Just the best.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

No, but from rp experiences, I think collabs are absolutely the way to go if possible. It just gets lonely writing on your own, and having a partner keeps the energy up.

14. What‘s your all-time favorite ship?

Space pirate OCs. But excluding my own characters... man, I've had poor luck with my ships, honestly. Looking back through the characters I was really passionate about, canon screwed me one way or another on all of them. I loved Mulder/Scully, Xena/Gabrielle, and Kanan/Hera, and all of their shows went off the rails at the end, so I think about them all with a tinge of sadness now.

It's better to love your own characters, because then at least when you make awful things happen to them, it doesn't come as a surprise.

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

My only current WIP is a kid's book, and I hope I do finish it!

16. What are your writing strengths?

Dialog, and also there's a sort of lyrical register that I can shift into pretty easily (it's a trick I often use for endings).

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Oh, self-indulgence. Things like writing about Kanan's seaglass eyes, or people "growling" their dialog. Cheese, basically. I don't rein myself in too much for fanfic, but in original writing I have to be strict with edits because if I don't force myself to stay spare and restrained, I'm probably getting cheesy with it.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Tricksy, very tricksy! It's certainly not something you can just hand off to Google Translate. I personally wouldn't do it unless I had some first hand experience with the language, or could consult with native speakers.

Funny story on that, for the space pirate novel, I had a bit where I needed an automated warning looping in various languages. The English was "Warning! Please evacuate the building!"

I asked my Russian friend to give me a translation, and he said I'd need to do some cultural translation first, because the Russian "would be a lot more direct. And they wouldn't say 'please.'" So he gave me Vnimaniye! Vyhodi zdaniye! which apparently translates more directly to "Attention! Exit building."

That's the kind of thing Google Translate can't do for you.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

X-Files. This was Usenet days. Alt.tv.x-files. Many many memories. At one point there was a spinoff group so we could roleplay, but not roleplay being in the show, exactly. Just like all living in a town. It was almost a proto-Tumblr.

I miss Usenet.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

It might be The Last of the Rebel Angels: that one's not the best, I don't think, but it's the weirdest and most ambitious. I had something to say, and even if I only managed to sketch it out or gesture at it, there's still a really tender place in my heart for that fic.

Any fic writers who'd like to fill out the questions, please consider yourselves tagged!

Hundred Twenty Seven.

I can honestly say, I missed LA. I really missed this place so much and now I am home; I love it. I am happy to be home, to be free, to be able to drive and know where I am going but Oakley on the other hand. But I don’t mind London, it’s not a bad place just I need to have a little freedom in terms of just driving when I want but it’s so confusing, that place is just too much and I can’t deal with it so I prefer a driver and will always prefer that, but I am happy to be home and just be able to jump to places and go everywhere. The work is flowing in, I mean I am rarely here, so they jumped at me when I arrived, but I have been busy really, my management booked me in for a lot. It’s funny to see my fiancé face at the Fenty headquarter too, to see him actually take direction, it makes me laugh. Blowing an air kiss as Jen came over to me with her phone in my face “we have the Fenty babies here” I laughed “not that” rolling my eyes, she stopped recording “this place looks nice, it’s very stylish from the last time you all updated the office space. I mean you couple have removed his face” Jen laughed “well he is the face of it, what can we say. Hey, I give you something” she pointed as she sat down “since he did that, the population of men in Europe have bought Fenty Skin, so we are happy, the rise in men buying the skin care and to see the power that boy has overseas, it’s crazy, he is very popular there” nodding my head “yeah, it’s a different ball game there for him I think, he is hounded in a different way more then over here, I don’t know. I told him that maybe he needs to collab with a big American artist, he said he will, but he doesn’t so whatever” I shrugged “what do I know, but this office is cute. It’s weird being here” my mom made her way over “it is, like I feel so old because I remember the little girl that would be running around, when all this was being built, when all this was being made you was young and you would be up and down here, getting candy from people. Telling people who you are” my mom chuckled “and she said I will be your boss, remember” I rolled my eyes “I mean, that was short lived huh” I giggled “never too late, but you been very busy so thank you for coming” I sighed out “I didn’t think I was going to be, that vogue issue came out and that was it, management calling me go here and there, it’s been well but busy. Are you excited for the premiere?” my mom grinned “to have all my kids on the red carpet and the additions to it, yes I am. I mean minus Imani, but I am excited” Imani is annoying my life.

I have really been just around everywhere; it’s been just me and Tion for a few days now. Wake up and leave and come back late. I have been speaking to Oakley, but we haven’t spent that time together, he’s been ok because my family have been there and around, Damson too so he is entertained “mommy” Aziel said waving at me “morning baby, how are you?” he made his way over to me “where is your top gone” he smiled “I like it” side eyeing him “look, it’s batman” acting all surprised “wow, that is amazing. That’s his car, I love it baby. You go and play” I said to him, I have no idea why that boy is even topless “decided to join us, I mean you should be glad we made extras” looking around to the kitchen “where is he?” I pointed “outside, I am going to call him in, we made breakfast for you all, because we nice like that” making my way to the kitchen to sit down “aww thank you, the both of you. Also Ti, I know you have been taking care of Aziel for me” Ti smiled as she walked off “well it’s a big day today, and we are happy everyone is home, I think it’s a great joy” Damson is sweet “you are really a good person, to my sister” he laughed “I am ok, I mean we are like any other couple, but we have that spark, that love. I mean did I say love, but we have that. You know what I mean” smiling at him “I do, can you talk that into Oakley” he laughed out walking off “I get that a lot” looking over at Oakley, he made his way over to me “little miss busy and that” smiling at him “I know, I miss you” he pressed a kiss to my forehead as he sat down, I thought he would be annoyed with me “your dad makes me laugh, he an old man but just chilling and vibing to life” he sat next to me “my dad will never grow up, I miss you too” leaning over to him and pressing a kiss to his lips “I felt you come to bed last night though, I heard you groan out seeing Aziel in bed” I chuckled “yeah I was mad, like not him again I took him out of the bed straight off” I spat.

I am impressed with this breakfast “so, we are all sat here. You both better be coming to the party, don’t be boring now” Ti pointed at us both “this is the boring one, not me. He makes me boring” Oakley smiled “I said I will come; we discussed this already Tianna. I said I will come, it’s good vibes. Handsome man will be there” Oakley pointed, Damson laughed “shut the fuck up, handsome man. You can talk you pretty lesbian” Oakley snorted laughing “fuck you bro” they are both giggling “you piss me off, he out there trying to forget history. This pretty girl over there had the longest fucking hair, like bro cut it” Damson pointed “remember someone said are you a female?” they both sniggered “my voice didn’t break, my voice was squeaking, and she goes young person, can you help with this. So I did, and she goes thank you, I said it’s ok, then she turned to me and goes are you a female? I swear I was so mad, but like my voice didn’t break, I was like fourteen and squeaking like a bitch, then it broke and now it’s this. Deep as shit” Damson can’t stop laughing “you came into school that one day with a deep voice, then you switched. You switched onto shit; you flexed that shit so bad too” these two get on so well “you think you would crush on Oakley if he was in school?” Damson asked, looking at him “I have seen his school pictures and erm, I don’t think so” I laughed putting my hand over my mouth “that is deep you know!” Ti chuckled “I am sorry, but you looked like an average white boy, I don’t blame her, I mean even with Damson. He looked not good” least Ti is on my side with this “she goes oh no, this person is not you and I goes you only liked light skinned men! Be quiet” Damson spat “she will learn that I am the most handsome” shaking my head “they went to some celebrity school and learnt nothing” I gasped “Damson!” he is so rude “I am used to it, he does this a lot. He said we went to fake school” Ti waved him off “I am teasing, my bad but yeah, life is weird because in real terms I don’t think either of us would date each other” I pulled a face “he liked snow bunnies let’s not” rolling my eyes “that’s because he’s a white baddie” Damson got jokes “man shut up!” Oakley spat “I am joking” shaking my head.

To see us all done up, to see us go out together as a family. Oakley not dressed in something that isn’t a tech fleece or hoodies. I mean he refuses to wear anything suit related, but he will do anything, I am excited to see him in a suit for the wedding day, I might get emotional. I just know he will look so handsome “I love this look, Jah did you good. This little set up, he made us match” I am showing a little leg, Oakley eyes lit up “you look amazing” I pointed at him “so do you, look at this little jean and top set up, and the hair. You come to serve the bitches” he laughed “nah just you, I am happy with this, like that guy. Jah or whatever he said, we know your fussy. I looked hard but we have these three tops, and they all designer and I saw this sweatshirt, you know I love a good one and I got it so you happy with it” he asked me “I am happy Oakley, I love it. We look good and look at my Aziel” he is so into playing with his Batman toy “yeah, we look good. The car is outside though. They both gone already of course. Aziel come, let’s go!” Oakley said to him, I am super proud of my little family, we look amazing “we about to show out” I beamed “we are, I am happy” I cooed out, I love when he is happy, I think he is enjoying himself here, for once.

I am letting Oakley take the lead with this, I don’t want to be the one taking over when he is capable of doing it and I don’t want to be the one controlling it all “awww” I cooed out, Oakley fixed my dress once I got out “just under your feet, well heel” he said as he stood back “thank you babe” I smiled, they are all shouting a lot because my mother also came out and they are all seeing us together for once “I’m going to go on with Damson and then you come” Ti ran ahead of me “come here” holding Aziel helping him get out “you look so handsome baby” he jumped off the step, he’s in a good mood “we going to go to your mom” Oakley asked “yeah, let’s go” I pointed, letting Oakley walk ahead as I held Aziel hand as we made our way to my family “I was so confused, some white man walking to us” my dad plays too much “shut up” my dad and him dapped each other “you look so cute, Rylee I love it. Jah did you all good” I grinned “he did, thank you Jah” I said to him but he waved me off “don’t thank me, you look beautiful. A beautiful family” I am so happy “do you want to start walking to the carpet” the guy came over to us “let’s go” I said to him, Oakley looked a little confused but then he held my hand, and I held Aziel hand walking onto the carpet. I am so immune to the shouting now; I have no idea what they be saying but it’s whatever” turning around to the cameras “congratulaitons on the engagement!” I smiled “over here! Look over here!” I sighed out, bringing Aziel forward “beautiful! Beautiful! Central Cee! Kiss her cheek!” This is not him at all, he hates all this shit. Looking over at him “what” he said to me “ignore them” I laughed, he is smiling but is confused “kiss her cheek!” Why they keep shouting that, Oakley pulled my hand and bought me closer, he did kiss my cheek and I just smiled so wide “awww” they all said, I sighed out and I blushed because that’s cute of him to do that “Rihanna!!” Oh here comes my mother “move along” I said to him, Damson and my sister are waiting “my guy!! Red carpet thing” they dapped each other, they are happy which makes me happy, I just want Oakley to be happy really and comfortable and he is “looking like a beautiful ass family girl” Ti said which made me smile, to get these kind of compliments, it’s a boost because the disrespect I got from Vogue made me mad even though it got scrapped the party on what they said about, I don’t care for all that.

I like to know what Oakley is doing and he’s speaking to press, not like him at all and he’s laughing so it’s a plus for me, making my way over to him “yeah, yeah. Here she is” he pointed “here I am, what is this?” I laughed “we was asking him what made him love you, you know we love to see a love story, so we asked him what made him fall in love. And would you like to know his answer” looking at Oakley “yes I will actually, I need to know” he is red “he said her spirit, the thing that made me fall for Lee was seeing how selfless she can be, she has been through tough times and I see that for myself, we had our ups and downs but she has a good heart and loved a broken man” poking my bottom lip out “I love you” I said to him “stop it” he chuckled putting his head down “awwww he’s shy now, but what made you fall for him, you know we nosey over here. We need the information “my husband to be, he’s a very private man. The thing you don’t see publicly is how loving he is, how he does care, he does love me. He loves me for who I am, not my background and the beauty I mean that was a bonus for him” Oakley laughed out “yeah yeah, she know she bad” Oakley agreed “well Rylee, you have chosen a very nice gentleman, and thank you for the interview Central Cee” I smiled as we walked off “an interview, look at you. Cutie” he put his arm around me “it’s alright, they grabbed me. Cool though, they asked me about music and stuff like they didn’t belittle me” I poked my lips out “don’t say that, nobody belittles you” I just froze seeing North, she can’t be here. Is that really her and Saint, I just stared at them “what is it?” He asked, I am just staring at her, and he is walking towards me “erm” I just said “wow, you’re here” Oakley let out an oh, I haven’t seen North in so long, even P is here “Rylee, wow” she said, “you look like a grown woman” North laughed “thank you, you look well” Oakley held my hand “yeah we need to go somewhere” he lied “see you around” smiling at her, I know Oakley will not want me near her at all. He disliked North for so long and now she is here, it’s a weird feeling, a bittersweet one because she is, well was a best friend of mine “I ain’t know she was coming” Oakley said “same” I sighed out, that is so awkward.

I am loving life, this whole night and event is what I needed, and I’ve had the most enjoyment seeing Oakley have a good time too, I am happy that Damson is here with us and with Tianna because he pushes him to get out there “I am not young anymore, I’m going now. Because I got word that Amelia and Aziel aren’t doing well, but it’s ok. You relax, you have a good time. I got it and your dad will be here so have fun” I laughed, he is dancing away my dad “look at him but thank you mom, are you ok to have him tell tomorrow” she waved me off, her way of saying shut up to me. Let me go and find my man, I can get him to do a little moving on the dancefloor since he is in a good mood “Rylee” that voice alone made me freeze, not Saint “leave me alone” I looked towards him “I just wanted to say you look mighty fine” North rushed over “move” she said to him, after everything “sorry” North said walking over to me “it’s fine” I just said “Rylee, don’t walk away please” she knew I was about to run “we have been friends for far too long, in diapers. Come on, give me that time” taking in a deep breath “we have been through so much, I miss your friendship so much. I have seen that you are engaged, and you are on a different path in life, you are at a point of being someone’s wife, I am happy for you, but I also know you my friend. I know that you can do so much better Rylee, just because you had a baby by him does not mean you needed to stay with a man below you, god bless he beat cancer, but you didn’t need too, you loved him as a teenager, we all have our first love, you settled because you are too scared to be with others. I am sad you never got to live life Rylee, Oakley may not have been bad to you like Saint, but he knows he has you” shaking my head “living life isn’t going to city to city, meeting different men, smoking weed in the club. It’s nothing, life is when I see my son happy, that is life. I am not strung up at home North, I am always in different cities. I am not depressed or unhappy, I think you are. You are unhappy that you lost me, and I am not in the position you are in, looking for a man to love you. I am going to be someone’s wife, to a guy everyone doubts, I wish you was more of a friend to me then one of my haters, and it does hurt me because I also miss you, I think back to everything we did together but one thing” she is going to make me cry “out of all this bullshit, I got my sister. And she is my most loyal friend, I may have lost you, but I have her, and North” I sniffled “I do wish you all the best, and I do think of you. I hope you find a man that loves you because deep down you have a good heart” she put her head down, why am I crying and why is she crying “she made you cry?” Oakley said out of nowhere “no, it’s nothing. We was just talking” I sniffled “let’s just move from here, come” I said moving him back “you stay away from her” Oakley said “leave it please, come” wiping my tears, I don’t know why I felt that to my core.
