Stately Wayne Manor, as it exists in my BatFam universe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of the chapters in Profiles describes the general layout, so I thought it'd be fun to draw up a floorplan. It is not to scale.
My thought was that the Manor would have been altered over the generations, so there'd be a good starting structure, with the room placement becoming a bit hectic over the years.

Why You Should Give Us Your Blessing To Date Emu!
"Hello everyone! Lovely to see you!" announced Tsukasa.
"You! What are you-" began Shousuke.
"I'm afraid all questions will have to be held until after the presentation." Tsukasa said as Rui pulled a USB out of his pocket and slid it into the side of their enormous TV.
"P-Presentation?"
"Presentation!" He struck his best presentation pose. Nene and Rui struck theirs too, as the TV came to life.
"Why You Should Give Us Your Blessing To Date Emu-chan!" they announced together in sync.
-
Emu loves her family very much, so of course her wonderful boyfriends and girlfriend should only do what is appropriate and ask for their blessing, in true Wonderlands x Showtime fashion.
Read on AO3
Today was the day.
Tsukasa, Nene, and Rui. All three of them were dressed as professionally as their wardrobes would allow. Nene walked carefully to avoid tripping in her low heels, and Tsukasa cringed every time he saw Rui's waistcoat, but it was the mildest one he owned, and he was far too tall for Tsukasa to be able to lend him one more appropriate. Looking up at the building looming over them, he gave their hands one last squeeze before straightening his suit jacket, clearing his throat, and pressing the doorbell.
In no time at all, the door was opened by a house staff member. She gave them a polite smile. Before she could speak, Tsukasa took the first step.
"Hello, I don't believe we've met! I am Tsukasa Tenma! This here is Nene Kusanagi-" She gave a small wave. "-and Rui Kamishiro-" "Hello." "-but you may know us as Wonderlands x Showtime! Are Keisuke-san, Shousuke-san, and Hinata-san in today?"
She gaped like a goldfish. "Oh, you must be Miss Emu's friends! Fortunately, they're all in currently," Tsukasa could feel Nene and Rui exchanging glances. "Why don't you come in?"
She stepped aside to let them through, them all muttering their thanks, as they proceeded to take their shoes off in the most spacious entryway they had ever seen. There were even slippers reserved for guests, with their own shelf separate from the household's. They followed her through a long, airy hallway lined with huge windows. Tsukasa grew up in a large house but even he was struggling not to openly boggle at the sheer size and luxury of the place.
After an eternity, or not at all, he couldn't tell, they were in an enormous loungeroom. One wall was entirely made of massive windows, like it was a box with only three sides, opening onto a beautiful garden. Everything was deliberate and stylish, each piece of furniture a designer brand Tsukasa knew he'd balk at if he saw the price. But most intimidating of all, Keisuke, Shousuke, and Hinata Otori, each sitting in a chair, the very image of high class.
The staff member excused herself, Tsukasa put his best "I am a serious professional" face on, and stepped forward.
"Hello everyone! Lovely to see you!" They all startled in their seats.
"You! What are you-" began Shousuke.
"I'm afraid all questions will have to be held until after the presentation." Tsukasa said as Rui pulled a USB out of his pocket and slid it into the side of their enormous TV.
"P-Presentation?"
"Presentation!" He struck his best presentation pose. Nene and Rui struck theirs too, as the TV came to life.
"Why You Should Give Us Your Blessing To Date Emu-chan!" they announced together in sync.
The same words appeared on the TV, next to a picture of Emu, covered in heart emojis.
"...What?" asked Keisuke.
"Huh?" scowled Shousuke.
Tsukasa pulled a remote out of his pocket, and moved to the next slide.
"Reason number one we like Emu!"
"She makes us friendship bracelets." Nene said, holding up her wrist to show the pale green bracelet hanging there. The slide was a collage of pictures of several small piles of handmade bracelets with little charms. "They're very pretty and it's very nice of her."
"Reason number two!" he clicked to the next slide. It was a picture of Emu side by side with a picture of a small, wide eyed possum with the heading reading "The same <- ->"
"She looks like a sugar glider." Rui said. "It's very cute."
"Reason number three!" This slide was a photo of Emu pulling a silly face as she posed with someone in a mascot costume.
"She's kind to all the Phoenixland staff even though they're obligated to be nice to her." said Nene.
"Reason number five!" It was a group photo of them all at the Wonder Stage, taken after their first successful show.
"If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be a troupe today." said Rui.
"It's true!" Tsukasa puffed out his chest. "If she hadn't dragged me to the Wonder Stage, we wouldn't be performing together. Reason number six!" It was a photo of the park lit up at night.
"She truly cares about Phoenixland and is always coming up with ways to make it better. The night show was all her idea." Nene looked right at Shousuke.
"She's so smart and creative!" Tsukasa said in a way that didn't allow for any argument. "Reason number seven!" It was a candid photo of Emu mid cartwheel, her face split in a blinding grin but seemingly unaware of the camera.
"She is very kind and lovely." Rui said. "Her presence makes every room brighter. She is one of the sweetest people we've ever met." It was cheesy in a way that would make anyone gag, but Rui was somehow able to sell it. Tsukasa and Nene both nodded in agreement.
"And reason number eight." It was a photo of Emu with her cheeks puffed up like a hamster. "She is cute and we like her." Another click of the button, and countless sparkly heart emojis appeared over the photo in a flashy transition.
They all looked expectantly over at Emu's siblings. Hinata was covering her mouth, Keisuke hadn't moved since they begun, and Shousuke's eyes were wide like a deer in headlights.
"Now onto part two!" announced Tsukasa.
"Part two!?" exclaimed Shousuke.
"Reasons why you should give us your blessing!" The next slide, instead of a picture, had the very same words as a heading, with bullet points underneath.
"Instead of one of us, there's three of us. Three times the love for Emu." said Nene, holding up three fingers.
"As ambassadors of the park, we can continue to help make Emu's dreams a reality. Happy Emu, happy life." said Rui.
"I'm one of the top regionally ranked Super Smashing Fighters players in the area, she'll never lose a co-op match with me on her team." said Nene, deadly serious.
"I'm a great sewer! I have lots of experience mending Emu's costumes." said Tsukasa. "She'll never have to worry about rips or tears!"
"I make all sorts of drones and robotics specially designed to elevate Emu's acrobatics routines. She'll always shine on stage." said Rui.
"I have long hair that she can play with, since hers is short." said Nene.
"I'm also a fantastic cook! She'll always be well fed!"
"I'm tall. On my shoulders, she can enjoy being tall too."
There was a beat, and they all turned to Emu's siblings.
"And that concludes our presentation." said Nene.
For a moment, the three were shellshocked in their seats. Until, Hinata got up and grasped each of her brothers, turning them away in an illusion of privacy as they conferred.
Tsukasa, Nene, and Rui exchanged nervous glances, and it took all of their stage training to not shuffle their feet.
It felt like hours, but was probably only several minutes, before they turned around again.
"You really care about Emu, huh." said Hinata, eyes crinkling as she smiled.
"Of course, we love her." said Rui with a cat eyed smile, not a hint of shame or embarrassment on his face as she softly chuckled and her brothers balked at his straightforwardness.
"Well, you have our blessing." said Keisuke.
"Can you leave now?" grouched Shousuke.
A door suddenly flew open with a loud bang, as a bright pink blur shot into the room.
"You guys mean it? Really really!?" shrieked Emu from where she'd attached herself to Shousuke's pant leg.
"Uh," Despite living with Emu all her life, he still didn't know what to do with himself when he found himself attached to him like a barnacle. "Yes Emu, we mean it." He gently laid a hand on top of her head.
"Thank you thank you thank you thank you!" she hugged each of them in turn, gripping them tight and rubbing her face into their clothes. Hinata laughed.
"Yeah yeah, can they leave now?"
"Come Emu!" shouted Tsukasa as he took hold of Nene's hand. "The rest of the day awaits us!"
With a practiced movement, Emu was suddenly on Rui's shoulders, and like a lightning storm passing over, they left the way they came, in a mess of shouts and laughter.
Outside the front door, Emu's shoes magically on her feet without leaving Rui's shoulders (courtesy of Nene and Tsukasa), the air seemed to deflate out of Tsukasa.
"Wow, that was terrifying!" he laughed.
"You're telling me." said Nene. "I was so nervous I could faint."
"But it turned out so much better than I hoped." said Rui, before his forehead had a kiss planted right in the middle of it by Emu.
"You guys..." said Emu. "That was... that was so..." she balled her fists in Rui's hair. "It was so whizzy whizzy bang pop sparkle sparkle KA BLAM I don't even know what to say!"
"Hey," said Tsukasa, placing a hand on her leg. "Anything for our princess."
Emu promptly burst into tears. Nene grasped her hand, Rui held her knees tight, and Tsukasa rubbed her leg comfortingly.
"I love you guys so, so, so much." she blubbered through her tears.
Crying and laughing, they left together.

“Astrals, Crowe! What the hell was that?!” He demanded, or at least he thought he did.

Nyx freaked out.

This is a gift for @and-they-never-left-the-desert for the @technoblade-gift-exchange
Sorry it's late!
Techno was not having a good day. No, scratch that, he was not having a good life. He lays there day after day, just existing, lost so far in his thoughts that nothing draws him out. The loneliness feels never-ending, despair has rooted itself in his body, and apathy has begun to— “Hello.” --- Technoblade is kidnapped by aliens. Wilbur discovers a human (a human!) on a ship and immediately tries to cheer it up and become friends with it.

Stately Wayne Manor -as it appears in my Bat Family AU -Redo
So it turns out that long galleries don't quite work the way I thought they did. it turns out, they usually only cover one side of the house rather than wrapping all the way around. In my defense, I have never been in a manor or mansion in my life. With this new knowledge, I have redesigned the Manor so more rooms get windows. I also had to shuffle some rooms around and even add a few because just making rooms bigger to fill in the extra space was going to make them ridiculously huge (as if half weren't already). The gym, library, theater, arcade, and kitchen are bigger as well though. Overall, I like this design better than the first.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The stairs in the kitchen go down to the cellar (not shown), which has a root cellar, wine cellar, vault, and survival bunker. I didn't redo the attic since it's just the one chimney that would be moved, so just pretend it's to the right a little more.
I thought Jason should have the office with windows due to his time on the streets and being beaten and blown up while trapped in a warehouse before waking up in a coffin buried underground. I figure he'd like to have an extra exit available. Plus, it's not like Bruce and Tim are used getting sunlight and it made sense for Alfred to be closer to both Bruce's office (since he's his valet) and the classroom (in case the kids needs schooling).

Story Link
Hey, just making a short post here letting you guys know about a story I’m just posting to AO3!  I’m writing it with @veesidesandrarities, and we decided to just post it there since that would be easier for this case.  Have a summary and a link:
Summary: Thomas Sanders, of Gainesville, FL, was not unique for falling to Thanos' infamous genocidal Snap. After all, he shared that in common with several billion other unlucky human beings.
No, what made the case of Thomas Sanders, of Gainesville, FL, actually unique among all the people of Earth whose bodies had made a very sudden, very dusty exit from the mortal coil that day... was that the various components of his mind, had not.
Which, as Remus would later tell anyone who’d listen, was a goddamn trip.
AKA: the MCU fusion where Thomas Fucking Dies, but leaves the Sides behind.

Fun exerpt from my Finkeldorf fic below the cut.
“Prost,” Freddie says, before downing his whole glass of sherry. Klaus follows suit, tipping back the brandy and feeling it go down his throat and hit his empty stomach with heat.
When they put their glasses down on the table, Freddie raises a hand to his mouth like he’s savoring the drink, and then he reaches over for Klaus, and Klaus is more than happy to pull him close.
They kiss, and it turns hungry quickly. It had been so long since they’d been together, months and months of nothing but his own hand and wanting Freddie. It’s going to be like the first time if he isn’t careful, over in ten minutes and him left embarrassed.
He’d rather tonight not go that way, so he tries to control himself. He reaches for the back of Freddie’s dress, finds the hooks that fasten it, and starts working them. The first comes undone, and then the second, and before he knows it, Freddie is reaching up to pull the thin straps of his dress off his shoulders, letting it fall down to the floor around his feet.
Klaus has never had a proper look at him outside the back room of the club, and he finds himself absolutely entranced with Freddie’s pale, translucent skin and the way his thin body curves down into his broad hips. He reaches down for the space that hallows out between his groin and thigh, presses his thumb there, and watches Freddie twitch under his thin underwear.
Freddie steps out of his dress, closer to Klaus, and slowly works at undoing Klaus’s shirt buttons. Their lips meet again as Freddie pushes his shirt back over his shoulders, and Klaus rids himself of his undershirt by quickly shirking it over his head and tossing it away. They’re breathing the same air, close and not close enough, and Freddie carefully steps out of his red heels and onto the floor, bringing them back to the same height. Klaus presses him back towards the bed. His pants drop to his feet as Freddie undoes them, and he has to take a second to get his shoes off.
Freddie lays himself back onto the bed, and when Klaus looks up his breath catches in his throat at the sight of him. He takes a moment to breath before removing his underwear and climbing on top of Freddie on the bed.
He takes his time, kissing Freddie’s body, working his way down slowly as they both harden with excitement, Freddie’s hands in his hair, caressing his face and neck.
He’s got on ladies underwear, which shouldn’t surprise Klaus, but it does somehow, and he breaths a hot breath against the lacy fabric, making Freddie’s back arch slightly in pleasure before he pulls the underwear down.
They’re both naked now, the record still playing quietly in the distance. The lights are almost too bright, but he’s certainly not going to do anything to pull himself away from Freddie now. Freddie’s legs splay, letting Klaus settle between them, and they kiss, Klaus working him open with practiced accuracy from their nights in the dark club. Only now he can see every expression that crosses Freddie’s face, every twinge of pain and flutter of pleasure, the way his eyelashes fall closed when he relaxes down into Klaus’s fingers, the way his mouth falls open when Klaus pushes into him.
Klaus kisses Freddie’s neck, his jaw, and their mouths find each other again as Klaus slides into him, both of them hard and hot and so fucking hungry. Freddie’s legs come up around his waist, his knees digging into Klaus’s sides, and here in the privacy of Klaus’s bedroom, Freddie’s mouth starts running away with him.
“Harder,” he gasps, his hand clenching at Klaus’s ass as though he can force him deeper, and Klaus lets out a heavy breath at the way his voice sounds, strangled and wet, and has to really focus to not lose himself first. “Oh, Klaus,” Freddie whispers breathlessly, and Klaus has to let his head rest on Freddie’s shoulder while he fucks into him, Freddie whispering his name over and over.
“Fuck,” Klaus finds himself whispering, trembling with each thrust, struggling to hold it together. Freddie must sense his desperation, because he works his hand between them to hold himself, jerking in tandem with Klaus’s pumps, and then he’s coming, hot and hard between them, Klaus’s name on his lips as he does.
It only takes Klaus another moment, and he turns his head to lock his lips to Freddie’s as he releases, letting himself fuck freely and feeling the overwhelming rush of his orgasm overtake him.
It’s a fucking miracle he lives through it, honestly.
They lay there, Klaus still inside him, holding each other as they catch their breath. Freddie’s fingers twirl in his hair, and Klaus finds the strength after a few moments to disentangle them, shifting to lie down beside Freddie on his bed. Freddie’s legs shiver and shake, his body still coming back to earth, and Klaus grins a little as he shifts for comfort, pulling away just slightly to lie on his back.
“Fuck, I missed you,” he hums out happily, his eyes closed and his body entirely spent.
This makes Freddie turn, draping one of his legs across Klaus’s and reaching out to touch his chest. Klaus brings his hand up to catch Freddie’s, entwining their fingers and holding their joined hands close to his heart.
“So what you’re saying is,” Freddie tries, and his voice is hesitant but playful, making Klaus open his eyes to glance over at him, “That you are the jealous type, hmm?”
Klaus laughs low in his throat, smacks Freddie’s behind with his other hand harshly, making them both laugh, and he kisses him, long and hard, making sure Freddie can feel his answer in the force behind his lips.
Read the full fic here!

A Movie I’ve Seen Before
It was cold. The trees rustled behind Steve, the breeze making him shiver. Pinks and Oranges painted the sky as the sun started to set. It was peaceful, Steve felt peaceful. He doesn’t always quite remember what it’s like to be, so he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, letting his feet dangle over the edge of the cliff.
“I don’t think that’s exactly safe, Harrington,” a voice teases from behind him. Steve can’t help but be confused as to who it is. Suddenly, there is a cold beer being placed in his hands and a person sitting down next to him. Legs adorned in black jeans join his over the cliff's edge. “I mean, wouldn't want you accidentally falling off now would we?”
Steve turns his head to find Eddie Munson taking a long sip from a beer bottle, something in him making him turn away fast. “If it’s so dangerous then why are you here sitting next to me?” he finds himself responding.
Eddie snorts as his face breaks out into a wide smile. “Maybe I like dangerous.” Steve can’t find himself disagreeing. He lets them fall back in silence, looking back out over the quarry, only hearing the soft clinking of Eddie’s rings on his beer bottle. “So,” Eddie starts slowly, “bring all your dates out here, Harrington?”
“Is this a date?” Steve looks back over at Eddie, his brows knitting together in confusion.
“Well, isn’t it?” There is a softness in Eddie’s eyes that Steve doesn’t think he’s ever seen before.
Steve finds himself staring at Eddie, thinking about the question. It does seem like a date, not one he’d choose for a girl, but maybe one he’d choose for Eddie. Seems like something he would enjoy. Nothing big or romantic, but small and thoughtful. Away from the noise of the town and the wandering eyes of gossip. Just the two of them, together, alone. Steve can’t find a reason as to why it wouldn’t be one, or why he actually quite likes the idea.
“Yeah,” Steve says while meeting Eddie’s eyes, a small smile forming on his face. “Yeah, I guess it is.”
Eddie matches Steve’s smile, bumping Steve’s shoulder as he adverts his eyes back to the water. He feels a small warmth build on his face. Steve takes a sip of his beer, the slightly bitter taste lingering on his tongue. Not much is said between them, neither of them wanting to break the peaceful bubble that surrounds them.
Soft rain starts to fall on Steve’s shoulder, but he can’t seem to care. He doesn’t want to move, doesn’t want to have this moment end. It might not be his decision to, as the soft rain picks up, and starts to turn into a downpour.
Eddie stands, reaching out his free hand down to Steve. “Probably should go, don’t want to get too soaked.”
“Probably.” Steve grabs Edddie’s hand, letting himself be pulled off the group. He leads Eddie over to his car when he feels a large splash on his lower legs. Turning around, he finds Eddie looking back at him with a wicked grin. Taking his opportunity, Steve kicks at the puddle forming at his feet, spraying the muddy water all over Eddie’s legs.
A bark comes out of Eddie at the contact. “Playing dirty, are we now, Stevie?”
Steve holds his hands up in defense. “Hey, you started it.”
“That may be true, but that doesn’t mean I won’t finish it.” Eddie bends down and swipes his hand through the puddle, spraying the water up higher at Steve. He responds by kicking at the puddle again, hitting Eddie’s chest this time.
They go back in forth like this for a while, letting the rain fall around them while they splash around like children. The weirdest thing about all of this is how Steve doesn’t want it to stop. He hasn’t had fun like this since he was a kid, barely even allowed to play in puddles then. But something about the way Eddie is laughing is electric, fueling him to keep going even if that means his car seats will get covered in mud. Steve thinks he’d do anything to hear Eddie laugh like this.
Somehow the two of them get close, breaking into uncontrollable laughter. Eddie rests his shoulder on Steve’s, holding onto him while he tries to catch his breath. Steve doesn’t know why, but he has the urge to pull him closer, but he doesn’t.
“Thank you for humoring me, Harrington. This was fun.” Eddie brings his head up to meet Steve’s eyes.
A small line of muddy water runs down Eddie’s cheek, Steve reaches out a hand to wipe it away, leaving it resting there. “It really was,”
It occurs to him how close they are standing, their faces only inches apart. For some reason, Steve finds himself leaning in, brushing his nose against Eddie’s. “Steve, you have to wake up.”
“What.” Steve pulls back confused.
“Steve, wake up.” The figure before him fades.

Chapters: 1/6 Fandom: Final Fantasy XV Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Clarus Amicitia/Regis Lucis Caelum, Clarus Amicitia & Cor Leonis & Regis Lucis Caelum Characters: Regis Lucis Caelum, Clarus Amicitia, Cor Leonis Additional Tags: 5+1 Times, Mild Sexual Content, Mild Smut, Secret Relationship, Teen Cor Leonis, Some Humor, Innocent Cor, getting caught, Funny Drama, Cockblocking, Making Out, Sexual Frustration, Other Additional Tags to Be Added Series: Part 3 of I Will Be Summary:
“You know, Cor, you don’t have to knock every time. You can just come in.”
Regis has told Cor this a thousand times before, and every time, Cor has always soundly ignored him. Still, Regis isn’t one to give up, and the exchange is warm and familiar between them, something that he says because Cor expects him to, and because it never fails to make him roll his eyes with a grudging smile. Cor is a creature of habit, after all, and he’ll probably never stop knocking just because Regis asks him to.
With hindsight, though, Regis really shouldn’t have ever been so presumptuous as to assume he knew Cor well enough to guess his behaviour. Cor’s biggest habit is to be unpredictable, and that, really, is the only thing anyone could ever hope to predict about him.
How many times has Wesk already joked that the best way to manage Cor is to expect the unexpected?
With hindsight, Regis really really shouldn’t have told him he could come and go as he pleased.

Gateways and Broken Bridges
Sung Jinwoo may have been a hunter that climbed to the top on his own, but what happened in America 10 years before the start of Solo Leveling? For a little town that already handled portals and death, how does Team Phantom react to the onslaught of all these portals opening? - Gateways are opening up all over the world, and Danny and co are the first to adventure into one. What awaits them on the other side changes everything.
 The first of the portals opens over the biggest of the megacities: Tokyo, Delhi, Shanghai, São Paulo, and Mexico City.
 News stations, small and large, discuss and extrapolate what they could mean.
 Within days, the swirling blue vortexes appear in small and big cities alike; New York City, Montreal, London, Dublin, Seol, etc.
 The nations of the world began putting together task forces to study and ascertain what they could mean.
 On the sixth day of the first one showing up, a new portal opens up in the city of Chicago, in the center of the O'Hare International Airport.
 It is the very first one to open      inside     a building.
 And the first to be larger than a double door.
 Ominous blue light flickers and explodes out and around the swirling mists, reaching all the way to the ceiling and spreading out to fill the terminal passage.
 It hits the front of headlines on local and international news.
 Airlines have to be rerouted as it was shut down.
 Travel and shipping routes became chaotic.
 The private sector of corporations joins in the research, demanding answers.
 However, whether it’s a blessing or a curse, because of its location, it becomes the first portal to be live streamed. A full 24/7 watch.
 Late on the night of the second day after its appearance, the stream captures the first team to enter the portal.
 An unofficial team that is not sponsored by any corporate or government.
 A single child, one that flew and cast a brilliant white glow against the ominous blue, flies into frame. Following after is a strange flying spacecraft-like vehicle  —  something that most people would consider existing only in science fiction. The camera stream can’t see who piloted the craft nor how many persons it carried.
 The figure turns to the craft, hands moving animatedly.
 Slowly turning towards the camera.
 It’s hard to capture the face of the being, the white and blue obscuring the child's details.
 It traces something in the air with a hand, bright green letters taking shape.
     We'll be right back.  
Keep Reading
