Series: Part 10 of Whumptober 2023
Summary:
"Talk." Jason barked into the phone speaker.
"Jason?" Tim's wavering voice greeted him. “C-can you come pick me up?” Jason almost dropped the phone. How could this be the same fifteen-year-old who just stared down the barrel of a gun and looked bored? When he didn’t reply, Tim took a shaky breath. “I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t call after tonight but Dick is too far and I can’t stay here—”
Instinct kicked in, roused from some deep slumber. “Where are you?”
Whumptober Day 10 & 24
Inspired by @qweenofurheart comic and @ky-landfill oh so angsty art
Jason leveled the gun at Red Robin’s forehead. “Wrong side of the tracks, don’t you think?”
To his credit, Tim didn’t flinch. Just glared hard enough that the heat of it came clearly through his black domino. “Move, Jason. I don’t have time for games.”
“Nah.”
“Your problem is with Bruce, not me.”
His laugh startled a couple sleeping birds, wings frantically slapping the air. “Wrong! Good ol’ B made it very clear I was on the outs with the family. Pretty sure that includes you, junior.” Bruce with his hypocritical sanctimonious bullshit. Only hours ago Jason stormed out of the manor furious, anger buzzing through his head and drowning everything else out like a swarm of bees. It was still there, urging him onward in this new confrontation. Demanding he seek retribution.
With a noise of disgust, Tim rolled his eyes. “I don't care. Stop being petty and let me catch that guy before he gets away!”
“I’ll take care of him, don’t worry. Just like I’ll take care of you, if you don’t step off my turf. Now.”
Stubbornly, Tim didn’t move. Instead he threw his hands up in exasperation. “What is wrong with you? Last week you helped me with a case. Now you want to kill me again. I can’t keep up! Make up your mind already!”
So he did.
Jason swung.
Tim ducked under the punch, arms raised to catch the immediate uppercut that followed. It still sent him staggering back. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.” Jason sneered. “I just wanna mess you up a little. Send a message. No hard feelings.”
A roundhouse kick slammed into Jason’s thigh, boot heel digging into the muscle and striking a nerve. His leg buckled and sent him down on one knee. “I’m no one’s pawn. Not yours. Not Bruce’s.” Tim’s bo staff came whirling out of nowhere with a snap. Jason reached for his gun.

Me: I am sophistication, I am grace, I am fluent with words, I am eloquent of language, I speak and the winds tremble and the trees listen
Me trying to tag my fics: uh well someone dies and there's pain and suffering but it's okay because the ending is happy!

To all my writers who have a tough time with smut terms and not knowing which ones to use, I have found the holy grail for us.
This reddit user, who I've recently found out is @kjscottwrites here on tumblr, took a poll of 3,500 people and went really in depth with asking their favorite terminology, along with actual pie charts on what the readers preferred to see in their smut.
Check out their post with the link to the Google doc here!

hey man maybe if you think about the fact that dogs dream, and that non-human animals play, and that octopuses decorate their dens, and that there are non-human animals that have cultures, and that ants teach each other, and that fossils exist, and that there are so many forms of language and communication, and that fellow apes look so much like us, and that we are not alone you'll see the beauty and joy
