hunterâs mark, reversed
You never forget your first kill, they always say.Â
What the monster manuals and hunting guides and mentors forget to say is that sometimes, your first kill never forgets you, either.Â
Grant trudges to the master bathroom, attempting to muss his hair out of its unruly bedhead. He flicks on the lights, runs the water, lets the cool chill of it splash against his face and rouse him into a loose definition of wakefulness. Washes his face, turns off the water, looks in the mirror as he pats his face dry.Â
His own reflection stares at him, tired.Â
His eyes veer to his right, where a pair of vacant, milky white eyes look back.
Or: Grant Wilson, and the things that haunt him.
ao3
This is my fic for @dndadsfanweeks' Halloween Week day 6: ghosts. Like previous days, this is part of the supernatural au @llumimoon, @kaseyskat, and I planned out together. Content warnings for blood, gore, death, and general angstiness.
Hunterâs Mark (reversed): You choose kill a creature you can see within range and it mystically marks it you as your its quarry. Until the spell ends, you it deals an extra 1d6 psychic damage to the target whenever you hit it with a weapon attack, and you have disadvantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Wisdom (Survival) check you make to find it.
-Ranger Spell List, D&D 5th ed.

Grant trudges to the master bathroom, attempting to muss his hair out of its unruly bedhead. He flicks on the lights, runs the water, lets the cool chill of it splash against his face and rouse him into a loose definition of wakefulness. Washes his face, turns off the water, looks in the mirror as he pats his face dry.Â
His own reflection stares at him, tired.Â
His eyes veer to his right, where a pair of vacant, milky white eyes look back, expressionless, framed by dark locs and pallored skin.Â
âHi, Yeet,â Grant says softly.Â
You never forget your first kill.Â
You never forget your first crush, either.Â
And for Grant Wilson, heâs unlucky enough that those two people ended up one and the same.Â
There is no response from the boy in the mirror, just a blank, glassy stare, like one of the taxidermied animal heads that had decorated the walls of his grandmaâs house.Â
(As a little kid, heâd always thought their severed heads and marble eyes were a bit uncomfortable to look at, a bit creepy. He would make a game in his head of seeing how long he could be in the family room at night before he chickened out and turned the lights on. It was good, harmless fun, to look at the things Grandpa Frank had shot and convince himself that they were watching him from somewhere beyond the veil.)
(That was before he met Yeet, of course. Before his father had pulled him aside and told Grant what Grandpa Frank had told him.)
âHoney,â Marco calls from beyond the bathroom, and his husbandâs soothing voice manages to pull him from his thoughts, just a little. His white-knuckle grip on the edge of the sink loosens (when had he grabbed it?).Â
âHey, Iâm headed out to work,â Marco says, poking his head in through the doorway.Â
The sight of Grantâs favorite person relaxes him further.
(He tries not to think about the way he had looked with a bullet wound between his eyes in his dream last night, his eyes fog-covered and glass-marbled, his jaw slack and dripping with gore.)
Grant feels Marcoâs stubble brush along his cheekbone as his husband gives him a quick peck.Â
âOkay,â Grant hears himself say, although it feels like his head is underwater (it feels like his head is stuck twenty-five years in the past.) âLove you.â
Marcoâs eyebrows knit together above his half-moon glasses. Grant hates and loves in equal measure the way that his husband can read him so well, even when heâs busy and frazzled from his morning routine. Some sort of witchy ability of his, heâs sure.Â
The concern in those onyx-flint eyes make Grant want to run and hide, sometimes, to cower and shy away like a prey animal under the weight of his affection.Â
Grant stays still, though. Heâs gotten better at that (at least, thatâs what Marco tells him).
âYou sound awful.â
âGood morning to you, too, sweetheart,â Grant says, trying to inject some lightheartedness into his voice.
âThe adjustments I made to the sleeping draught didnât work much, huh,â Marco frets.
Grant sighs. âYeah.â Among other things.
His gaze slides to the mirror again: his warm, wonderful, magical husband on his left, a ghostly shade of a boy on his right. Grant in the middle, somewhere between living and dead, between predator and prey.
Marco follows his gaze, sees the way it lands on negative space.
âI know you donât want to hear this, but I could always try an exorcism,â he muses, squinting at the silver-backed pane like heâs trying to force himself to see what Grant does.
âToo risky,â Grant says, like he has every other time Marco has offered. âHe lashed out a lot, when I was younger. I wouldnât want him to hurt you.â
Itâs true. In the first few months - years - afterward, Yeet was a complete poltergeist. Gusts of wind would rip through every corridor of his childhood home, piercing shrieks and wordless screams echoing right next to his ears, those milky-white eyes narrowed in fury as wave upon wave of pity-disgust-betrayal-anger-fear reached through to his chest with icy cold fingers, emotions that were his burden but not his own siphoning between his ribs and pulling .
Phantom blood had drenched his teenage hands, red and sticky and awful but also strangely beautiful, congealing into chunks around shaking joints, caking into his fingernails, and Grant would pick at the skin there until it bled anew, as if disposing of the flaking crimson would absolve him of his sins.
Grant has long since rid himself of Catholic guilt. His own is more than any god could give him, now, and he watches as the red fills his peripheral vision, leaving gory smears on the countertop, worming its way into every line of his palm. Its counterpart blooms from Yeetâs chest, flowering and spreading outward, mesmerizing in a way that Grant knows he shouldnât find pretty.
Marco exhales, places a hand atop his, unlatches it from the edge of the sink (fuck, he had been gripping it too hard again, hadnât he), interlocks their fingers together. The red doesnât spread to him.
(Grant hopes it never will. Grant hopes that, at the end of things, he will be buried, soaked in blood and gore, a sponge for all the violence so that his family, his friends, his pack, never have to live in fear again.)
âOkay,â Marco says, calmly, firmly.
Too many people have treated Grant like he is fragile, one moment away from breaking. Blessedly, Marco has never been one of them.
âIâm fine,â Grant says. âIâm fine, Marco.â
âItâs okay not to be,â Marco says, infuriatingly patient for someone who was about to rush out the door.
âYouâre going to be late,â he evades.
âTime is relative, dear,â Marco responds, the air tingeing with a very specific mirage of color that Grant has long since learned to identify as his husbandâs magic. Thereâs a slight upturn to his mouth, and Grant canât help but lean into him and fit his lips to the seam of his smile.
Marcoâs hands come to grasp at his waist, grounding, steadying, and the air smells less like a bloodstained forest night and more like clementines and jasmine.Â
When Grant pulls away, there is no blood where his fingers cup his husbandâs jaw, nor where his hand fists in his clean shirt.
âThere you are,â Marco murmurs, smiling gently, and fuck, Grant does not deserve him in the slightest.
(He doesnât need the lone boy in the mirror, rigor-mortis-frozen at age thirteen, to tell him that. Although the phantasmal reminder certainly doesnât hurt.)
âYou sure youâre gonna be okay to drive Lincoln to school?â Marco asks.
At the edge of his hearing, Grant can hear the uncoordinated puttering of their son in the kitchen, attempting to prepare his breakfast with only his feet.
He smiles, and it feels a little less fake on his face. âYeah, I can handle it. Itâs his first day, I canât not drive our little boy!â
âAlright,â Marco says, pecking him again on the cheek and turning to leave before pausing at the threshold.
âOh,â he says. âBefore I forget and you freak out, Lincoln and I did some arts and crafts yesterday.â
âFriendship bracelets?â Grant asks.
âYep.â
Thereâs a cold breeze only he can feel. âAnd they work?â
Marco cocks his head to one side. âNo reason why they shouldnât. Iron to ward off fae, silver for werewolves, even soaked the strings in holy water to throw something anti-demonic in there,â he lists. âAnd of course, imbued with good intent.â
 âOf course,â Grant echoes.Â
âI can tell youâre thinking,â his husband says.
Grant hums. âPublic schoolâs gonna be good for Lincoln, itâs just - are we going too far with the precautions?â He frowns. âI just donât want anyone to get hurt.â
âI mean, heâs going to find out eventually,â Marco says. âWhether or not he hears it from us.â
âI donât want that to happen.â
âItâs going to, one way or another,â his husband asserts, frown clashing against his smile lines.
âI know, I know,â Grant sighs. âItâs just-â
Thereâs so much blood on Grantâs hands, passed down from his father and his fatherâs father, monster hunter to monster hunter to monster hunter. (Grantâs idea of a monster has shifted, as his fatherâs had, but the rush of the hunt remains regardless). The red will spread, as the red always does.
He can only hope it doesnât stain his sonâs hands. He can only hope it doesnât ooze from his sonâs ruptured heart.Â
Marcoâs features soften. âI know,â he says. (He shouldnât have to know.) âHeâs growing up too fast.â
âYeah,â Grant agrees.
âIf you think the bracelets are too much, though, I donât think heâs packed yet.â
Grantâs vision is drawn once more to the figure in the mirror. Yeet regards him silently, mouth agape in a silent scream of betrayal. His ghostly form still bears the marks of a witch hunter, wooden stakes and crucifixes and torches that Grant didnât let him set ablaze.Â
He looks, and Yeet morphs before his eyes, locs shortening to dark, fluffy curls, close-cropped at the sides, freckles appearing on boyish, rounded cheeks and lanky limbs. The ghost looks a lot like Lincoln.
Yeet smiles wickedly, and blood pools from the corner of his mouth, runs down his spectral chin.
âNo, no, the bracelets are a good idea,â Grant says, eyes not leaving the mirror. âThank you for helping make them.â
âNot a problem, honey,â Marco says, squeezing his shoulder and dragging him back to the living âAll good to go?â
âI need to get dressed, first,â Grant responds, gesturing at his loose t-shirt and boxers.
âIâll leave you to it, then, I really do have to go,â He says. âIâm gonna wish Lincoln good luck, and then Iâm off!â
âOkay,â Grant says, already moving to grab his sweater and slacks for his shift at the library later today. âLove you.â
âLove you, too!â Marco replies, immediate and ever-present, an answer to a question Grant doesnât deserve to ask. âAnd Grant?â
âHm?â
âLincoln will be fine,â Marco reassures. âTrust me. I have a good feeling about this.â
âI hope so.â
The boy in the full-length mirror stares at him, hovering just at his right, and Grant avoids looking at him.
God, I really hope so.Â

WITCHY PSA
STOP SALTING THE GROUND.
Don't cast a circle of salt in the dirt, don't salt the soil to cleanse it, use something else. Eggshells, rosemary, wood ash, etc, but not salt!
Salt will mess up the soil and make it impossible for anything to grow for generations. On that same note, don't litter while doing witchcraft! Stop burying non-biodegradable satchels and jars or throwing them in the lake/ocean!

This might be unpopular but Iâm not going to use simpler vocabulary in my writing if itâs out of character for the narrator. If my POV character is a botanist, heâs going to call a plant by its name. If you donât know what it is you can either Google it or move on just knowing itâs a plant of some sort.
I donât like this trend of readers being angry that not everything is 100% understandable for them. I want my characters to be believable as people and sometimes people use words people outside of their field will not understand. Thatâs not a bad thing.
You donât have to understand every word to get the gist of whatâs happening. Iâm not going to slow down an action scene to describe every weapon because someone might not know them by name. They can just assume itâs a weapon because that makes sense in the context of the scene.

So you know how artists irl will draw celebrities? Do you think fans in superhero universes draw them? If so I think I'd be funny if they draw a mantle character (a mantle with multiple people as them) but the eras are so mushed together the hero's can't help but analyse who they were trying to draw
Donna: ok black hair me?
Cassie: but I had a black wig in early YJ days
Donna: true. Is it Yara?
Cassie: No it's short sleeve, I think it's you?
Donna: it can't be I never had red pants, jump suit yes, but you had red pants!
--------------
Jason: found another fanart of Robin
Steph: not me it has Black hair and is male
Damian: legs aren't exposed, so that leaves me and Drake
Tim: but the cape is full yellow that was Dick and Jason
Dick: their's no weapon so that doesn't help
Jason: but it had my front hair curls.
Dick: the 'R' is blocky Tim started the pointy 'R' so maybe it's one of us with pants?
Duke: is it a 'We are Robin' Robin?
___________
Or characters that look similar from a distance
Mia: Blonde Archer Girl with Red, no other color.
Cissie: well it's not my original Arrowette suit, it's full body.
Mia: didn't you have a tactical suit?
Cissie: yes, but it wasn't as streamlined. Did you loose your hood anytime? Maybe they saw you without it?
Mia: I'd still have a yellow without the hood, the bow is wrong.
Cissie: eh people usually draw them wrong, it's gotta be you the artist said they saved them, it's been awhile since I've been out.
Mia: we don't know the age of the artist maybe it was in your Young Justice days
Cissie: that makes me sound old, never say that again.

Jason Todd and Comic Book Morality
Iâve been thinking lately that there are a few things about existing in comic books specifically that make Jason Todd killing less morally suspect than it would be if looked at realistically. (I mean if some asshole was going around killing people based on his morals with impunity irl Iâm sure we could all agree thatâs a bad situation)
First off certainty of guilt: One of the foremost arguments against the death penalty in real life is the fact that we can never be completely certain that the person weâre putting to death is guilty. The death penalty in real life will kill innocent people, regardless of how small of a percentage of those killed it is, it will and has done so. In comics there exists a total certainty that the people batman pursues and the people Jason kills are guilty. One aspect of that is the gross invasions of privacy that vigilantes and especially Batman and his associates take part in that are illegal for law enforcement. But DC comics has already asked us to accept that as morally neutral for the sake of Batman so we must do the same for Jason. Because Batman and co. donât have powers (and because Batman is constructed primarily out of plot armor, male fantasies and spit) they make up for this by basically never being wrong. If one of the bat cohorts is wrong it becomes an entire plot point. Theyâre never wrong incidentally or make mistakes. Because itâs never be specified that Jason made a mistake we can basically guarantee that he hasnât. Everyone that Jason has ever killed has been guilty (at least per the standards of Jasonâs moral code).
Second redemption: Comics are an extremely long form medium where popular characters are basically guaranteed to reappear and remain static. In real life it is possible for people to change and grow and become better people and for people who are mentally unwell to seek help and recover (not that mentally ill people are dangerous etc etc I donât have time to open that can of worms). That will never ever happen in comic books. They can tease Two Faceâs recovery again and again, but he will never get better in the main continuity. Joker will never become a functioning member of society. Gotham needs to remain a wretched hive of scum and villainy for Batman to fight. Criminals donât get redeemed in Gotham full stop. We might get an arc or two where theyâre reformed, but a return to form is inevitable.
Next incarceration: Even if they never became better people you wouldnât have to kill them if you could jail themâbut wait! You literally canât. One of the key features of Gotham that has never and will never change is that itâs corrupt top to bottom and the jails and Arkham are constructed fully out of tissue paper. Beating a criminal up and turning them over to the police will not stop them, it will not prevent people from being hurt in the future. Locking criminals/villains up is worthless in terms of actually stopping them.
Finally extrajudicial action: Having an independent entity run around the city acting out their own personal sense of justice with no oversight or consequence would be exceedingly bad in real life but comic books have already asked us to accept it wholesale. The problem with Red Hood is not that he has no oversight, itâs not that heâs invading people privacy, or assaulting them, or punishing people without trial, or even that his work is effected by his emotions. All of these things are true of Batman. I mean you can say that Batman turns people over to the police all you like but there is no such thing as legally beating the tar out of someone as punishment for a crime. Batman does extra judicially punish criminals full stop. The only part of what Jason does that we can question is how far he goes in what he does, not what he does.
Jason Todd exists in a reality where he knows which people are guilty of heinous crimes and he knows that jail/Arkham will never stop them and he knows that theyâll never change. In these circumstances is it really unreasonable to act like killing is the only way to stop criminals? Obviously comics donât admit that jail/Arkham will never be effective and that villains will never change, but as readers it feels disingenuous (at least to me) to act like Jason is the crazy one for acting like these things are true because we all know they are.
tldr; Existing in a comic book (and all the things that come along with it) erases a number of factors that would normally make Jasonâs brand of killing inexcusably wrong.
#jason todd#dc#batman#red hood#meta#utrh#obviously there's still the ultimate question of killing wrong?#but a lot of the outside factors on that question don't matter because of comic books#i mean i like to look at comics realistically as much as the next person but like come on#jason has a certain fucking point for the circumstances he's in

i finished batgirl (2000) and i loved it so muchhhh i cant even put it into words aaaaaahhhh
anyways do you have any more recs for Cass, Steph or Babs bc i need more (also any fic recs too?)
OKOK so I recommend this reading list for both steph and cass by @/jlquarterly. they also have a more condensed reading list for steph and cass individually as well as more extensive ones for them too. overall just a great account to follow if you need reading lists.
Some overall reads that I recommend:
Cass:
Batman (1940) #567
Detective Comics (1937) #734
(No Man's Land in general is a good read for cass but these are considered her first appearances)
DC First: Batgirl/Joker
Superboy (1994) #85 (i love this issue it is very dear to me)
Steph:
Detective Comics (1937) #647-649
Secret Origins 80 Page Giant
honestly all of Robin 1993 starting with issue #3
Robin (1993) #88 (Steph and Cass first meeting)
Batman: Huntress/Spoiler- Blunt Trauma (HELENA AND STEPH YIPPEEE)
Batgirl (2009)
Babs:
The Batman Chronicles #5 (Oracle: Year One)
All of Birds of Prey 1999
General "batgirls" recs:
Convergence: Batgirl
Steph works in the medical field, the writers acknowledge her pregnancy, its about her relationship with the batgirl mantle, steph and cass live together and have a pet rat together, it's literally perfect
Batgirls
This is where we play the "pick and choose from canon" game
Fics:
Let's Not Talk About It by Procrastinationfairy
T - 4k
Summary: cass explores how words fail to describe feelings, especially in terms of attraction.
MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH
God this fic....here to start. I'm obsessed with the way it tackles cassâs feelings for steph and the lack of language she would have for her emotionsâŠinsane...Her anger at tim for not âproperly mourningâ steph
If taken, I'm yours by evanescent
T - 8k
Summary: Sheer determination is not everything, though, and after exactly eight seconds Stephanie finds herself laying flat on her back after getting knocked down with a very real-feeling baseball bat. For a moment, she thinks the strange sound is her ears ringing, but then she sits up and finds Batgirl standing next to Batman, her shoulder shaking slightly. Sheâs laughing, Stephanie realizes. Batgirl must catch her staring because she makes a quick, swiping motion with her hand.
âI think,â Batman says, and Stephanie wonders if she has a concussion after all, because he kind of sounds amused, âsheâs telling you to be faster.â
In a world when you have your soulmate's first words to you imprinted in their handwriting somewhere on your body, the fact Stephanie can't decipher hers seems like the least of her problems, most of the time.
A really sweet rewrite of Steph as batgirl
ALSO EMILY DICKINSONS POETRY PLAYS A REALLY BIG ROLE IN THIS <3333
heroes and thieves at my door (i can't seem to tell them apart anymore) by hinn_raven
T - 4k
Summary: Bruce really canât help but think that Stephanie Brown, pre-medicine, piano player, and honors student, with Leslie vouching for her, would be a far better girlfriend for his daughter than Spoiler, the new vigilante in town.
This one has me kicking and giggling every time i read it
It's delightful and funny and just an overall good time
Now Stick It Thick by thebodydies
E - 1k
Summary: Cassâs body always did exactly what Cass wanted. And now Stephâs body did as well.
nobody look at me
Highly recommend checking out all of Hinn_Raven's works especially if you're a steph fan!
