ao3 is having a hard time rn, this is your reminder NOT to obsessively refresh your ao3 tab as that slows it down even further.

[foggytimemachinething]

I make a post about how smut writers shouldn't be discouraged if their smut has a low hits to kudos ratio, because people are just afraid to kudos smut.

I get told in response that AKTUALLY smut has a low kudos to hits ratio because people are re-reading that smut.

I make a post about how if you're re-reading a fic a lot you should tell the author because they won't know that and will think no one likes their fic.

I get told that authors should just ASSUME that it's re-reads without needing to be told.

I post a smut fic that gets 100+ hits in its first 24 hours of posting (therefor no re-reads counted) and this smut fic with 100+ hits gets zero kudos.

I make a post about how if you read a fic on AO3 it creates a 'hit' and if the author gets a lot of hits without kudos or comments or response, the author will assume no one liked their fic.

I get told that authors should just ASSUME that everyone who clicks their fic likes it, without needing to be told that.

I make a post reminding people that fanfiction authors are not mind readers and that there's no way for them to tell a hit from a person who clicked a fic by mistake, or hated the fic, from a hit from a person who liked it, and if you don't tell the author you liked their fic they will assume you didn't.

I get told that authors aren't entitled to comments or kudos, or to a certain ratio of kudos to hits.

NO SHIT.

But if they don't get comments or kudos, they're gonna assume ya'll didn't like the fic!

Arthur: Who hurt you?

Merlin, joking: Want a list?

Arthur:

Arthur: Yes, actually.

No, ao3 doesn't need a second kudos button or a kudos button each chapter, because you know what you can do each chapter? Comment. It needs your words, your comments, there is a comment draught, kudos is lovely, but it is a ping in a lonely chamber, a lecture hall where you can tell students are listening but no one ever raises their hands to speak or engage with the professor, if you love it so much you want to give a second kudos, you love it enough to type even just a couple words into the comment box, "love this," "neat fic!" It's just a couple more clicks!

DC x DP prompt

We all know how Jason met Batman.

Jacking tires, tire iron to face, youth home that turned out to be a criminal front, adoption.

Now picture this. Jason Red Hood , he's been introduced to the family but they are still on rocky terms. He has a reputation in theCtime Alley. He has a bike. A really well made motorcycle. A really well made motorcycle made of parts that will sell really well in the black market. The two reasons it is in one piece and not stolen everytime he leaves it in an alley to go reinforce the importance of following his rules is because a) he is respected and b) he is feared and he made an example ( no killing but he did break all the bones in both hands) of the last thug that tried to steal his bike.

Now enter the Fenton , Now Nightingale family. A group of four kids , all siblings well, one brother and sister pair, one clone, and alternate version of the brother in a an identical clone body. All degaed and flung to a different dimension and falling into Gotham The Dannies, Danny, Dan short for Dante, Dani (Danielle or Ellie) are about the same age six , but their small so they look younger , Jasmine is two years older than them but she is a bit taller then your normal eight year old. The 'triplets' and Jazz live on the streets of Gotham as street kids. Jazz makes money tutoring adults and teens and managed the supplies. The Dannies do a mix of stealing and repairing old appliancesnfor food , clothes and other essentials.They operate in the Alley but live on the edges of the Bowery because although Crime Alley they learned from another street kid that has decided that these kids are theirs to watch over and teach although not that much older than Jasmine, is relatively safer for Street kids to live in, the siblings because they are extremely sensitive, can sense that it's the haunt of an older ghost and the this is usually very angry and feels sick. Jasmine is still heavily Liminal meaning if she dies she becomes a halfa , while the other three omare Halfas, and because of magic nonsense and the convenience they provide for the plot , they have some of their older selves memories, but all of them are now the mental age of their physical selves.

So they live on the edges of the Alley , a little bit in the Bowery but on the Outskirts. They've been living there and surviving pretty fine for a few months. (We're going bad Fenton Parents here , so Jasmine, Danny , I guess Dan did, but not as many a deepmemories of it just vague recollections now how to survive on a limited budget, dumpster dive, shoplifting and all .and Dani practically lived on her own for her whole existence so she has more experience, the start was rocky at first but after a while those old self sustaining skills kicked right in)

OkiThat is uniil a cold December night and Jasmine is struck down with a very nasty cold that just needs medicine. They don't go to the free clinic because they don't trust Leslie to not turn them in to Gotham CPS , and they heard horror stories about the system and the corruptness. And unfortunately money is too tight to buy it legally and yes they could just steal some and they do but it's not working and they need actual medicine.

So the Dannies, called in a favor form their fellow street rat to look after Jazz ( who at this point had adopted these extremely smart but also slight naive and meta children as their siblings) go looking for something to steal. Something expensive that will not only cover the medicine, but any expenses needed to take of themselvea

And lol and behold they find the bike.

Living here in Gotham they know about the Bats. They also know and believe that the Bats are staunchly anti meta, and although they aren't exactly Metas they technically are because a Liminal, and three Halfas count. And they learned about Red Hood , their ghostly neighbor, not that they know it's him. They know of his reputation crime lord part-time vigilante. But hey see the bike and these three instantly calculate the value of the parts and if they managed to find an apartment in Gotham that had really low rent like in the hundreds, and properly negotiate the prices with the right people might be able to afford to live in a apartment at least for he winter season. And Danny and Dan could make a space heater for their future one bedroom apartment from scrap parts, it won't be fancy but at least it won't be the abandoned place they'd took residence in.

And so they get a definitely not stolen duffel bag they found lying about near a gang hide full of drugs that they emptied out , and hid in case they need some back up cash ( morals are very quickly tossed to the side to survive and these three will do anything for their sister, basically she is their moral back back bone that keeps Dan from murdering someone, Danny from going the mad scientist rouge route, and Dani from robbing a bank (she's done it before/semi regularly mostly from Atms) a tire iron they liberated along with a box of tools from a chop shop and when the the next time Jason leaves his bike unattended.

The three strike, Dan and Danny dismantling the motorbike right there in the alley down to its frame, and even thas not safe either, Dani on look out.

Hood gets a alert through his helmets hud that his bike was being stolen, goes to very elquantl the thug, for some reason he doesnt have cameras on his bike. He should but he didnt add any, he did add trackers to it of course but these kids know what trackers look like even with its sleek design. So he goes in guns blazing from the stake out he's helping the Bats with , furious and rightfully pissed.

Only to find the bike is gone.

A pile of trackers in its place.

Except for one.

So he tracks the tracker that was placed ina not so obvious location,maybe inside the insignia on the bike, pissed and furious hunting down the thug that stole his mobile possibly dismantled it. Pits are roaring , the haunt is enraged the ghostlings realized two things as they are running for their lives

Their ghostly neighbor apparently is Red Hood which makes sense once they settle down and think over he clues and the signs they were presented with his behavior.

And they just pissed him off , extremely pissed then off , for all three Thai is their first time experiencing a Pit fueled ecto entity eith rotten Ectoplasm and they are rightfully terrified.

Now they can use their powers , but with the whole meta trafficking being a thing and the fact that even through they can normally produce their own ectoplasm that was when the Halfas had mature ghost cores, and if they had full grown mature cores they could properly filter the ambient slightly rancid ecto. But they can't do that now , nothing without the help of a grown ghost. And without access to Ectoplasm they can't top off their reserves. and if they the Dannies use their powers they use up their Ectoplasm until they can recharge them. It would be dire if they were full ghosts , but because of their half's status they can biologically restock their ecto through eating healthy food. And growing Halfas require a lot, a lot of calories though more than your average human z a little less then a your average speedster. full Liminals like Jazz require a little less than Halfas but still more than your average human.

They've basically core wise (all four of them, Jazz proto core included) been de-aged as well their core matching their physical age. So they are at their weakest, having pissed off a full grown( core wise- the Lazarus Pits jumpstarted and caused Jason's core to rapidly develop, too quickly , which isn't good for a ghost , especially for a being powered by emotions. He's relatively calm after it settled but the now his core is both trying to filter out rotten Ectoplasm inside it, the rancid ambient ecto, with no exposure to the pure stuff plus also trying to repair his body so he's still revenant - his body is in a limbo state between corpse and living body after his core is completely healed and healthy then he'll have a proper alive body and be a proper Halfa) what they believe to be a full grown Halfa.

Who is pissed and really angry.

Z They are rightfully terrified. So they come up with a plan as they run knowing that Hood would eventually catch up to them.

Of course Red Hood manages to catch omup to them , corners them ,comes out of his Pit Rage to notice that the culprits are a kids, and a two twin boys that are adoption bait very surprised.

He's also very surprised not very long when he's knocked out cold by Dani via tire iron to head

Now the boys and girl had just knocked out red Hood and hit his helmet. His helmet that just happened to have a bomb in it. They can hear tickig the sort that a bombs has from his helmet so frantically Danny, Dan voted to leave him be , but Dani and Danny refused so they take off the helmet , defuse the bomb.

Dan sees how well made the helmet is also takes a look at his armour. And his jacket and his guns and various other weapons, and well they have access to their powers but they do know how to shoot guns , except for maybe Jazz she has really bad aim, still good ish and better than Jack's but still , so he starts stripping Jason or well the hood of his jacket, guns and armour. Danny and Dani tried to stop him but once he explains his reasoning they help him. Dan even steals his wallet, both the decoy and the real one.

And Jason is completely out cold. And he is being picked apart by three kids who leave him his dignity ie pants and shirt and single pocket knife for protection, and his trackers and they drag his unconscious body to a dumpster and hide him under trash bags ,

.

Now Danny because he feels bad for knocking him out uses his helmet, to amcall for help via his distress signal it catches his location and after he gets a signal back that confirms his location then disables the tracker inside the helmet and very sneakily shoves it in his chest as a spoul of war.

Dani because she did not being chased and she was scared then asks Danny for a marker and draws on his face. (It's a permanent one)Dan joins in and draws a very realistic antomany part (he draws a dick on his face - he did not like the being scared and being chased it brought back bad memories for guns and also he scared his siblings so, and it's the whole face) Danny just draws stars and a smiley face. The three of them have a bit of fun drawing on his face and a little bit on his neck in vengeance.

All this is caught on a security camera in the Alley they didn't see. It's glitchy but the footage is clear

Jason is retrived by the Bats , Oracle finds the glitchy footage, then all the ants watch it.

Alfred: *leaves to prepare three new bedrooms* I always knew that Master Jason takes the most after you Master Bruce.

Bruce : *sighing in both nosglastia and paranoia starts looking into any cases involving the kids trying to look for their back ground*

Dick: I'm going to be an uncle!

Tim: As funny as this is, you can't just assume that he's going to adopt them.

Cass: Then are they new brothers? New sister?

Dick : Sister? Aren't all three boys?

Cass: Tire irons a girl.

Steph: B didn't got hit by the tire iron Cass, so we're looking at new nephews and nieces.

Damian: Tt. I rather be an uncle than have anymore siblings. These three seem extra feral.

last thing he remembers is cornering two scrad kids,at least in body language they both had a defiant lokt hat only street kids can have then being knocked out. Both protectively covering the other.

He quickly and reasonably jumps to a conclusion that they were being forced to help the thug that jacked his bike, and that the thug knocked him out he flies into a protective rage basically almost storming out of the infirmary he's stopped by Cass who can't help but grin at his face then directs him to the Bat computer where on one side of the screen the bat kids are laughing themselves silly at the video that they keep replaying. They say because they might have missed something but honestly it's hilarious how Jason got knocked out , stripped of all his armour, weapons,jacket and month then dragged , drawn on then covered in garbage. Sure they are concerned why he was chasing the kids but they can tell before he gets knocked out that the shock of them being kids snapped him out of his Pit Rage , while Bruce was looking into the possible meta children.

Bat: Hood report

Jason explains the situation as hews watching the surprise kid , dubbed Iron Queen by Steph come out of nowhere the footage extra glitchy knocking him out , feeling a range of emotions, guilt cause the kids must have been terrified being chased by a raging hood, impressed that the kids , that kids that look to be five years old dismantled his bike ( The Bat Kids exchange looks and Bruce smirks at the fondness in his voice subconsciously as he describes finding the trackers he installed in his bike where his bike used to be ) then it changes to amused when the footage shows to them takign off his helmet they left he domino mask alone then he sees one of them he dubs Boy 1 fiddle with his helmet expertly diffusing the bomb which is definitely concerning. There's sound so they all can hear the kids talk amongst themselves helping Boy 2 strip him bare, He's impressed and concerned by their gun knowledge and amused at how they drag him in next to the dumpster bickering all the while.

Then he watches as Iron Girl gets a marker from Boy 1 and draws on his face the word Jerk in bold letters. Boy 2 takes the marker and draws a dick across his face Boy 1 chastising him. He join innex tht three taking turns to draw on his face and little bit on his neck , not even his domino mask was safe, then they covered him garbage then left before the Bats arrived.( at this point Jasons eyes widen and takes the offered mirror by Cass)

Jason : Please tell me it's washable

Tim: I think they used a permanent marker

Jason : Fuck

Dick : so what do we do? Either they were hired by someone, forced to do it or did themselves.

Damian: They are definitely skilled despite the the reason they targeted Todd. Such skill would be in high demand.

Now he's worried about them. Because Damians right , they had wit , tech skills and of course their probable meta abilities. And they were plenty of people willing to do anything to get their hands on talent like that.

Anyway after that Jason then spends the time it takes for permanent marker to fade completely looking over for them following whatever trail he can find. He's basically frantically tearing up the Alley looking for them - and no Bruce and co, he's not goingotbto adopt them he's going to place them in reputable orphanage. He's not going to adopt them nope he tells them, they are children at possible risk and he just wants to help not take them in when he still has unresolved issues he's not taking in kids who have issues too and making them worse.

Now on the surface to Gotham and the Dannies, Red Hood is absolutely pissed, somebody stole his bike apparently. So they sell the bike parts sprodiaclly , taking care of Jazz, collecting enough money to possibly go deeper into the Bowery.

Unfortunately Hood wasn't the only one looking for them. Those drugs that they hid were part of a very important business deal, a new strain that was going to be spread out. And they had their own hacker look through the security footage.

Of course Oracle catches wind of this sends the Footage to hood who at this point was refusing help from the Bats and started his look into the Bowery. He wants to keep looking for he kids , cause now one of them has a target on their back , but he needs to deal with the gang , so he calls in help from the Bat's,

As this is going on the Dannies are nervous by Hoods behavior, Jazz instead of getting better is getting worse and they need real help now.

However Jasmines condition needs a hospital instead of a clinic now and even then they are iffy about hospitals and hospitals weren't going to let kids in without a guardian, especially ones as young as them not without calling CPS on them. And it's not like they know any trustworthy adults that could pretend to be their guardian.

They ask their street friend who is trying not to be worried as they are , if they know any trustworthy adults.

Their friend knows some one trustworthy, well as trustworthy as it gets in Gotham, their friend is primarily an alley rat.

They head to Jason who is currently stress cooking because something besides the fact they are kids in danger and in need are making him worry (it's his ghost instincts. They recognized the three as baby ghostlings without parents , or well a ghost parent, and his core instantly pinged them being malnourished so he's subconsciously making shit tonnes of food )

[insert Oc name here] : Jay , you an adult right?

Jason: Legally yeah what you need, and just so you know , I ain't buying alcohol for ya

[insert Oc name here]: Nah a littles sick

Jason handing some freshly cooked food to [insert Oc name here] : hospital sick or clinic sick

[insert Oc name here] between mouthfuls of food: used tah be clinc sick , but her sibs and her were weary about Leslie they're new in Gotham see, now she's hospital sick, and her sibs were wonderin' if ya could pretend to be their guardian or somethin'

Jason nods has done this before for plenty of street kids he can afford it , well Bruce can afford it , starts pulling out Tupperware containers full of left overs that were still edible: ages ?

[insert your Oc's name here] still shoveling food in their mouth (you can decide which gender you want them to be , but they have to be blonde/blond ) : Jazz, short for she's eight she's the sick one , a bit too tall for an eight year old it ya ask me, the Dannies are six they look smaller though

Jason: The Dannies?

[insert Oc name here] : Triplets, Jazz's sibs, you got Dante, Daniel,then Danielle.

Jason paused: they wouldn't happen to have black hair and blue eyes would they? Hoods been looking for trio of Wanye Bait that jacked his bike, knocked him out and then stole his helmet and gear. Not to mention wrote on his face , and covered him in trash I got the footage of you want to see it

(Jason dyes out his streak as Jay Peters; it to hide his identity better . Most of the Alley figures out Jay is Hood but you don't see anyone blabbin')

[insert Oc name here] nearly chokes to death on the food: They did what now?!

Jason: Wayne Bait is common enough, they don't go by Dan, Danny and Ellie right? That's what they referred to themselves as in the security footage Hood showed me

[insert Oc name here] : show me the fucking video, I need to know how fucked they are

Jason shows them the video

[insert Oc name here] wipes mouth: Come with me , you bringing those?

Jason :help me carry them.

Their street friend leads them to their hide out giving them information about the Jazz and the Dannies.

[insert Oc name ]: No wonder they were plann' on movin' deeper in the Bowery, they must've been scared of Hood. They've been oddly skittish.

Now don't mention you work for him, not right now, they're the type to run the moments somethin' fishy , they love their sistah too much to 'bandon her though

Jason : got it.

This incident is the start of how Jason ends up getting reverse adopted over a course to months Jason denying the fact that he's getting attached to these kids who after staying over at his place for the winter season and as a spot to hold their healing sister from her viral infection, keep breaking in and sneaking in even after they move into the Alley taking root in the Monarch theater, of course eventually they figure out he works for hood and after Danny finds his spare helmet wrongly assume that they are dating, Jasmine now well and heard from their street friend who drops by now and then to a) make sure Jazz is alright, b) bum some free food in exchange for information, c) get the Dannies rightfully chided , they already gave them a lecture and gave them the three stooges head knock, but they know they will only listen to Jazz.

Jazz chastises and convince them to give back the parts they stole. Unfortunately they managed to sell almost all of the parts the insignia with the tracker (that was the first to go) so they Danny only has the helmet behind.

Jazz who visits with them to watch over them and also bask in the rare gift of acting her age asks Jason if they could meet the Red Hood and apologize.

He says okay

They meet up and Red Hood is the first to apologize for how aggressive he was and that did a good job of defending themselves seeing how scared of him they are , they even brought their street friend with them to the meeting. all three were standing in front of their sister and their street friend who at this point the four of them include in the we part of them.

Then they apologize for jacking his bike and his gear they sold it all, and they offered him his helmet back.

He lets them keep it under the condition they don't jack his bike again and then he offers to to place them in a Hood certified ophranage z or at least with someone that could take care of them. He'll even let them pick who.

Ellie: C-can can we stay with Jay Mr Hood? Please?

Absolutely touched but thinking they deserve better: Jay's not a foster parent kid, if he was he will be definitely be a Hood certified foster. How about some one else

(jokingly suggests Bruce Wayne ) he's surprised by how quickly they shake their heads.

Hood: and why not?

Danny: hes a billionaire!

Dante : he could have something creepy in his basement

Ellie: or dresses as a Vampire!

Jasmine: no he's too fake.

In the end he tells them to keep an open mind on their offer, one he makes again to their street friend who shakes their head as well. They stick tobtheir arrangement z at least until Jazz learns that some street kids gather info for Hood, they deliver it to Jason who writes it down and hands it to Hood, and Jazz wanting to repay Hood and Jason decides to collect , at this point they make good use of the various shelters and soup kitchens; only going to ones that Jay works at because they absolutely love his food.

Her siblings join in with her plan, the four of them although still weak are good at stealth, maybe not Robin good. Their street friend jojnis because someone needs to watch out for them.

While this is happening Jason is like struggling to cope with the idea that these kids wanted him. Some pick the orphanage, others pick the Hood certified foster. Most choose the streets. And he's both happya and well horrified that they chose him , he's still not speaking terms officially with his family, his and Bruce's relationship is still rocky as ever, and the Pits are calmer now but the negative emotions and thoughts they feed off of are still as Strong as ever. Jason decides to go to therapy and begrudgingly decides to legally revive himself, with Bruce's help , because it's Thai that causes him to only accept the fact that he is attached to these kids , that he's been falling in PARENTAL love with them, that a part of him has all but legally adopted them (his ghost half of course,) they are his kids, not to mention they all let slip a little mostly Danny and Jazz about their prior home life ( Jason had yet to unlock their true and full lore) that it was down right neglectful sure their parents loved them, but they're absent more often then not, and he may not had neglectful parents but he can understand the uncertainty, and confusion for little kids. He gets that the fact that they love them hurt them more when they chose their work over their child , only coming away sporadically from it when they were sick or hurt or whenever they felt like it. And that for some reason something about Jason made Jasmine accidentally called him Dad when she sick all those months ago.

(eventually he goes enough sessions along with Bruce who had also started therapy and learning a lot of neccarssy life skills that he works upt the courage to ask for help getting himself legally revived through Bruce, then he goes to Dick to get help obtaining a foster license)

Danny’s Designer Friend

Okay so hear me out. Danny jumps universes a lot right? It’s a part of running errands for Clockwork. He may be the Ghost king but since he was Clockwork’s mentee at the same time, he had to run time errands sometimes. It took him to some really interesting places.

Some places had magic, some didn’t. Some had heroes that used their own devices and some had heroes that used magical artifacts to manifest abilities. Some didn’t have heroes at all. Some universes had lots of technology and some were working to catch up. And obviously, Danny had his favorites. And he had his favorite people from each.

So…. Danny had an idea.

…

Bruce looked around suspiciously, alert to any dangers that may be in the area. He and all of his children were on duty when all of a sudden he ended up in a modern mansion of sorts with an indoor waterfall.

“What in the world-?” He heard Tim say as Red Robin appeared as well.

“Oi-!” from a surprised Spoiler as she appeared.

Sword slashing noises as Robin appeared, apparently trying to slice the air, “What is this trickery!”

Next Duke in his pajamas and Nightwing appeared, landing on top of one another. “Get your sweaty ass off me,” Bruce heard his son say as he pushed his older brother off of him.

“GUYS!” Oracle called as she fell. She had teleported in but her chair didn’t seem to have come with her. Red Robin and Spoiler caught her just in time.

Orphan appeared silently.

Then Oracle’s wheelchair popped in, dropping onto Signal just as he had stood up. “Oh come on!” he exclaimed as a post it note apology appeared on his forehead. Presumably for forgetting the chair.

Lastly, Red Hood appeared, guns out and ready to fire. That is, if only he had anything to fire at. He quickly put them away once he realized it was only the bats and birds. The others wouldn’t have noticed it but behind his helmet, Jason was wide eyed, noticing the post it note. He only knew of two entities that used that form of communication and one meant something significantly better than the other.

After a few moments of Red Robin and Spoiler helping Oracle into her chair, footsteps could be heard approaching. Everyone tensed, ready for a fight. Except Red Hood who could feel his core tugging at him familiarly.

Two people approached. First person they were able to see was Danny. He had decided to show up in his kingly glory, his ceremonial cloak billowing behind him. As he got closer, they could see a very short woman with black hair and round glasses smoking a cigarette walking with him. Despite Danny being a king, she was the one in charge.

The woman walked up to the group with a judgmental look, “Every one of you. When I point, you tell me your title and occupation. Go.”

Nobody said anything.

“You guys better do what she says,” said Danny chuckling. Their faces so far were hilarious.

Slowly, the family obliged, starting with Red Hood.

“I go by Red Hood. I’m a crime lord. And a vigilante I guess,” Jason said. He knew enough to know they weren’t in any danger.

The others followed along until finally it got to Bruce, “I’m Batman. Vigilante.”

The short woman scoffed and immediately started pointing out the flaws in everyone’s outfits, “You all look ridiculous! What is that, bunny ears? And you! Red, green and yellow are far too many colors! You look like a traffic light! You! Those shoes are impractical and appalling! Do any of you know what style is?!”

She walked up to Duke, “I have seen photos of your suit and it is disgusting! Too bright!”

She gestured wildly to the group, “And NO CAPES!”

The woman then went up to Red Hood, “You are perfect darling, practical and filled with personality. You are my favorite.”

Danny chuckled, “He’s my favorite too.” The king shot a knowing smirk to Jason who under his helmet blushed from the comment.

“I am designing you all new suits right away!” the woman exclaimed with a wild look in her eye.

Danny couldn’t help but start laughing at this point. The looks on everyone’s faces were pure gold. This was the best idea he had literally ever had.

“I can’t wait to see it Edna. I can pay for it too,” the king said, sneaking a glance at Red Hood, “Anything for future in-laws.”

[foggytimemachinething]

Jason Todd, who tries to do his Red Hood reveal in front of the whole family, all at once, but they are so sleep-deprived that instead of accepting an obvious answer, they come up with the most insane theories.

Jason, spreading his arms wide: The answer is already here, and you know it. Come on, the world's great detective — look at me, and tell, why would the random criminal lord avenge for your son? Hm?

Dick, snapping his fingers: You are his childhood friend! Right?!

Jason: What—

Dick: You knew everything about us. You knew Jason better than we did. It is obvious. You are a kid that he must befriended during his days on the streets. You are avenging for him because we failed him!

Tim, shaking his head: Dick, come on—

Jason: Yeah, exactly, just—

Tim, with the insane glint in his eyes: They were clearly lovers, not friends.

Jason: ...What.

Tim: It is obvious. Just look at him at his desperation. That's more than friendship.

Jason: Come on, Bruce, you can't possibly allow them to be this stupid.

Bruce, sipping on his coffee: No, I won't.

Bruce, turning to Dick and Tim: It is Willis Todd.

Dick, Tim, and Jason in the unison: What—

(Hours later, Jason's safe house)

Jason: ...And then he goes! (clears up his throat to imitate Bruce's voice) "Willis Todd's grave was always empty, but I hadn't paid attention to this fact!" What an insane thing to fucking admit, by the way!

Talia, on the Facetime, doing her nails: Perhaps it is a family trait - to leave the coffins empty... Anyway, what happened after?

Jason: They come up with another theory. Now, they think that Red Hood is "Jason's" reincarnation. Souls switched and stuff. Dunno. They planned to call Constantine, but I left.

Talia: I feel like a nap would resolve this issue.

Jason: Yeah, definitely. But that's not my problem.

Talia: Naturally. But you look happy.

Jason, smirking: I got to annoy the hell of this family without even getting revealed and dealing with the aftermath. Of course, I am happy. Also, Alfred clocked me, but just packed me a lemon pie and invited for a tea ceremony later this week.

[foggytimemachinething]

Happy Meat Day everyone!

[foggytimemachinething]

So, I was reading some Percy Jackson fic stuff today and....I had a Danny Phantom thought.

And thought you might vibe with this at least a little bit.

Anyways, you know how the Phandom frequently has Clockwork be Kronos, or at least a piece of Kronos that regrets his actions towards his children?

Now, Danny being adopted by Clockwork. Who keeps bringing him little pieces of clouds and stars to bake into cookies and turn into marshmallows, and always has a pitcher of fresh rainwater for Danny to drink from if he feels thirsty.

Danny is very much vibing with this. He gets to Eat Space!!! The Sky is a part of him now, and he can FEEL that final frontier so very much at hand. He can close his eyes and See.

Earth below him, kept safe and warm under him, like a mother duck with an egg.

Looking up, Space is right there. It rolls against his back like a friend. The Sun bears down on him, as if bearing witness to him.

And then Danny...Dreams. He dreams of a Time that is not his own, but yet is, all at once.

Time's sickle takes him apart. Methodically, but as painless as he can make it. Kronos his son weeps, even as he and his siblings his babies reach for their Father's pieces and carefully, lovingly, place each and every single one amidst the sky.

"Forgive us" they say.

"We did as we must. We could not let you continue" they weep all over again.

"We will take care of the world you leave behind" They promise.

And so, Ouranos watches. Even with the weight if a Prophecy, and Fate upon them, his children would forever love their parents. He could've been stuck underneath the ground, where that detestable Tartarus was locked away.

But every child of Sky and Earth took the care to place their Father amidst his element. His pieces became the very Sky itself.

And then Danny wakes up.

His hands shake, and his everything aches with fleeting memories. The Infinite Realms are home to dead Gods and Titans. Who's to say, the Father of the Titans could not be spawned with it's embrace?

The next time Clockwork hugs him, Danny knows. His very skin sings with love and joy, that at least one of his children did not forget him.

But no matter how many pieces of the Sky he may eat, no matter how many memories of Old Man Ouranos Danny regains, that has passed.

Time greets the Sky once again, Father and Son reunited, but this go around it falls upon Kronos to be the Father, and Ouranos the Beloved Son.

In the back of his head Danny hears a song. One that Ouranos and Gaea used to sing for their little ones. He knows where the other half of the melody is. Soon, they shall be reunited.

(Hope that's at least halfway coherent? I know some people are gonna be mad that I'm making Danny more than Just Some Guy again, but is that not the spirit of fanfics? To take your specialest blorbo and Put Them in Situations?

Anyways, TL,DR: Danny's Space Obsession is in part his previous life as Ouranos, the Sky, Father of the Titans. Kronos, as Clockwork, is raising his Father's reincarnation and returning his pieces to him, now that pesky Prophecies aren't in the way.

They decide that letting Clocky be the Dad this time around suits them just fine.

Danny hears the song he and his wife, the Earth used to sing, and will answer her call soon, ((who Gaea is is up to interpretation, although I the show itself practically tosses Sam into this role)) once he's NOT a mess from the split memories)

Oh THIS? This is lovely! I DO vibe. Honestly can't think of anything I want to add, but I SURE DO WANNA MAKE SURE EVERYONE SEES IT.

Look at it! o/ *smacks it on your dashboard*

Politeness

Marvel is so polite it’s not even funny. He’s polite to villains. He’s polite to heroes. He’s polite to anyone. It honestly throws some people off, especially the villains.

Like, how he calls everyone miss or mister regardless of age.

Marvel: *saves father and daughter*

Father: “Thank you, sir.”

Marvel: “It’s no problem, mister, *nods to him* miss.” *nods to the little girl*

Daughter: *turns red*

He even turns extra polite around certain heroes. Supes was baffled when they first met because of it.

Marvel: “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Superman Sir!”

Supes: “What…? Uhm… Captain, it’s okay to just call me Superman.”

Marvel: “But that’d be rude.”

Supes: “I assure you it wouldn’t.”

Marvel: “I assure you it would.”

Then there’s the fact this man will say bless you to some of his worse villains.

Villain: “Muahahahaha-” *suddenly sneezes*

Marvel: “Bless you.”

Villain: “Thank you.”

He’s done this so often it’s a reflex for villains to say both thank you and return it if he ever sneezes himself.

Then there’s the opening doors. Fun fact this threw Adam off so badly when he showed up for the UN conference.

Marvel: *working security and happens to come at the same time as Adam so he opens the door for him*

Black Adam: *suspicious and walks through it slowly*

He ended up doing the same when they coincidentally left around the same time and that caused Adam to be extra suspicious.
