Inspiration Saturday Sunday!! I was tagged by @ladytauria ð thank you bestieeee ððððð
Okay so uh. Sorry to my jaytim ppl but this is not gonna be jaytim???
In a WILD turn of events, I sat down to write my Jaytim reverse robins fic bc I was feeling inspired about it and I wrote the first chapter. And then by the time I got to the end of it I was like oh. Oh this is actually DamiTim. And then I just. Couldn't stop writing. I definitely am still going to write the Jaytim flavored version, so no one worry about that, but apparently, this is also happening!!
So here you are, some Nightwing!Damian/Red Hood!Tim!!!! I hope you all enjoy ð (context to the scene: they are on the phone at a ridiculously early hour)
âI told you already, you may scold me if you like.â
âScold you? Right now Iâd like to strangle you.â
âI think that would be fair.â
Tim laughs, a surprised, sudden noise, and Damian wants to beam.
âHow is your throat?â he asks, and his voice has gone gentle, softness leaking into it.
âItâs fine.â Tim's voice is icing over, losing warmth.
âAnd your wrist?â
âYou left a few bruises, but nothingâs broken. Full range of motion. Does it matter?â
Of course, Damian wants to say. Of course it matters.
âI did not mean to hurt you.â
âYou never mean to,â Tim mutters, and Damian isnât entirely sure he was meant to hear it.
âWhat are you doing right now?â
âMaking coffee,â Tim sighs, irate.
âDo you still take it with an obscene amount of sugar?â Damian asks, trying to get him back, trying to get his brother back.
He wonders how much of the rest of his life will be spent trying to get his brother back.
âNo, I drink it black.â
That knowledge settles painfully under his left rib.
âYou used to take it with so much sugar that I was concerned.â
Tim scoffs. âAnd you still wonât touch the stuff, Iâm sure? Only fine teas for the prince?â
Damian squeezes his eyes shut. âI have⊠developed a taste for coffee.â
âI bet your blend costs five thousand dollars a bean.â
âI donât think it even costs five cents a bean.â
âOh? Where do you source it?â
âThe bodega.â
Tim snorts. âSorry, sorry. Iâm just trying to picture Damian Wayne walking into a bodega with a sword strapped to his back, digging through his pockets for enough change to afford his morning cup.â
A smile curls across Damianâs lip, against his will. He is powerless to prevent it.
âThe owner is Egyptian. It can be nice to have a conversation in Arabic, every once in a while.â
Thereâs a pause before Tim answers him.
âHow do you take your coffee?â he asks in Arabic.
âBlack,â Damian responds in Arabic, feeling that same feeling he always gets when he gets to rest his English. Like collapsing onto his bed after an especially long day, remembering that his comforter and sheets and pillows were waiting for him.
âI didnât know you missed speaking Arabic.â
âI never knew you spoke Arabic.â
âYes, you did,â Tim snaps, abruptly switching back to English. âYou knew.â
ââŠnot when I would have had an occasion to use it.â
âAn occasion, are you kidding me? Any time you wanted. Any time you wanted to walk into the manor and say anything to me, you know I would have listened. I would have done anything for you, donât you get that?â
Damian sighs at himself. Why is he even doing this? Every time he thinks he finds an opening, Tim slams the door on his fingers.
âYes, I do."
âYou are infuriating to talk to, you know that?â
âYes,â Damian answers. âWhy are you staying on the phone with me?â
âBecause youââ Tim groans at himself, and Damian feels like an intruder. âYou always make me want more than I can have.â
Before Damian can think of an answer to that, Tim has hung up.
No-pressure tagging @yasmindifference, @jpeg-dot-jpeg, @chipmunkery, and @cheetahleopard!!!

1, 10, 19, & 31 for the ask game pls? ð
TAURIAAAA!!!! HI!!!!! ððððððð
Which of your fics would you keep the basic plot of but rewrite completely?
ooh probably rooftops and bookshops. I really really really dislike the prose in it now that I've found more of a voice and I think the difference between that fic and my more recent stuff is so so blatant, but I do stand firmly by all of the plot points in that fic. That said, I'm not allowed to touch it because if I start I'll never stop, and I'd rather write new stuff than tweak the same old thing forever.
10. Top three favourite fic tropes.
Enemies to lovers, fake dating, amnesia!
19. Share a snippet from a wip without giving any context for it.
Bartâs halfway through peeling the first clementine, the sharp citrusy smell permeating the air over the odor of burnt rubber from the trash, when he looks up. His thumb digs in a little too hard, breaking through the rind and into the fruit, a few drops of the juice splattering up his wrist.
Kon looks at him from the entryway, almost surprised to see him there.Â
Bart stares back. He's still angry from yesterday, and he doesnât feel like pretending he isnât.Â
It must be obvious on his face, because Kon's surprised expression melts into more of a resigned irritation, and he strides past Bart, taking the half-peeled clementine out of his hands.Â
âWhy does it smell like that time Tim accidentally put a cutting board in the oven?â Kon asks as he grabs a mug from the cabinet, his voice gruff with sleep.
Bart starts peeling a new clementine, and heâs done by the time Konâs pouring his coffee. He starts another.Â
âFucked up my sneakers yesterday. Had to throw âem out.âÂ
âI thought you had that friction barrier thing or whatever,â Kon says. The way he phrases it like he doesnât know what heâs talking about grates at him. Why canât Kon just admit that he gives a shit?
Bart shrugs instead of answering, glaring at the peeled fruit.Â
He separates out the segments of the ones he peeled, pulling off those stringy white bits as he goes. His leg is tapping so fast against the chair, the noise it makes sounds vaguely like the blades of a helicopter.Â
Kon sighs and sits down next to him, leaning his head on Bartâs shoulder. He puts the clementine he was holding down on the counter in front of them and Bart picks it up. As heâs about to start peeling it, Kon takes it out of his hands and puts it back where it was. When Bart picks up another one, Kon takes that too, putting it down next to the other one like he wants Bartâs full attention.
A tight, annoyed noise works its way out of Bartâs throat, and Konâs TTK worms around him, feeling like an arm around his shoulder even though both of Konâs hands are on his mug.
âIâm not sorry,â Kon says, his hands tightening around the mug.
âMe neither,â Bart answers, still glaring at the fruit.
31. What was the most difficult fic for you to write (but in the end you made it)?
Definitely Rooftops & Bookshops, but only because of the "in the end you made it." Otherwise, I'd say Know Yourself, because I am struggling with that fic SO much right now. I'm struggling with writing in general right now but that fic specifically is giving me a very hard time. I do have faith that I will make it though, especially since it's all plotted out! I just have to. You know. Finish it.
send me an ask!

.
.
You stand in front of a mirror as help goes around you, dressing you for your wedding day. After a few months of negotiation your father, the King, decided to marry you off to the Prince of France. The thought of one day becoming queen and having even less freedom lingers over you. Even worse is the thought of losing your knight, König.
König stands outside the door, guarding it as he usually does. The difference is that this time, youâre getting ready for your wedding. Underneath his helmet is a deep frown as his mind runs through all of the time heâs spent with you over the last decade since heâs become your knight. This isnât how he imagined things ending for you both, but realistically he canât marry a princess.
In the back of his mind, he keeps replaying all of the times he had the pleasure of holding you in his arms. The way your tender, supple flesh molded perfectly against his muscular body. His mind focused on the way your breasts felt under the warmth of his soft lips as he would kiss every single inch of you. In the moment, it felt as if your affair would last forever; he felt like you were his. Now he realizes that he was loving you on borrowed time.
Time passes and finally the women leave your room. You stand alone in the mirror. This day was always supposed to be joyous. Never did you think your father would actually marry you off, especially with your other sisters being unmarried and more popular in politics.
Just then your eyes shift to the side as the figure of König comes into view, he pulls off his mask. Your frown deepens as your eyes lock with his pale blue eyes. The feels youâve been trying to push down come flooding to the surface the moment you see him.
Königs eyes travel over your body, admiring how beautiful you look in the luxurious dress. When his eyes meet yours again he can see the shared sadness creep across your expression. He knows seeing each other in this hour only makes things worse.
âYou look beautiful, Prinzessin.â Königâs voice is low and soft.
âKönigâŠâ Your voice cracks as you reach your hand out to him.
With no hesitation König grabs your dainty hand and wraps it in his, holding you tightly knowing full well this is goodbye. He steps forward and takes his time to trace your face, trying to commit every detail to memory. With his thumb, he gently wipes away a stray teardrop that falls from you. He leans in to kiss your quivering lips, his kiss delicate as he lingers almost scared to pull away. Your last kiss.
Two years pass and youâve been living in France with your new husband. König has heard rumors from the castle worker about how he treats you; like trash. Itâs as if youâre not a human to him. He speaks down to you and very openly has affairs with the women that work for his court. The more serious rumors of abuse König tried to push down, but every second of everyday he is consumed with the fear of him hurting you.
On the day of a royal wedding, you arrive with your husband. Your eyes move all around the crowd of guests, subconsciously looking for König. Youâve heard that heâs taken on the duty of watching over your younger sister. Yet, you cannot find him in the sea of people.
You stand with your back to König, but he knows itâs you. His eyes travel from the back of your jewel lined bun to the sensitive skin of your exposed neck. Those familiar stirring bubbles up in his chest as he takes a deep breath in an attempt to collect himself. Heâs here to guard the princess, but he canât help but to be a man in love.
You stand fidgeting with your dress as your husband converses with a group of people. The wedding ceremony finished only a short while ago and you still havenât seen König, nor your sister. Just then you feel a hand rest on your lower back.
As you turn you look up to see those familiar blue eyes. Itâs like seeing him for the first time all over again. Only two years apart seems like a lifetime, yet here you both are again, face to face. Everyone and everything around you fade into the background; heâs all that matters.
âMeine Prinzessin.â Königâs voice cracks as he speaks, too many emotions flood him at once. âIâve missed you.â
âIâve missed you too.â Tears pool in the waterline of your eye.
König holds his hand out to you, waiting for you to place yours in his palm. You hesitate for a moment, looking over to your husband to make sure he isnât paying attention before slipping your hand into his. A relieved smile crosses Königâs lips as he turns and walks away with you to find a private area to talk.
Once away from the large crowd he simply looks down into your eyes. He doesnât know where to start, so he pulls his gloves off to be able to caress your hands, your face, and neck. Feeling you again after all of these years is electrifying.
âHow have you been?â
âFine.â You lie, not wanting König to worry about your new life.
âDonât lie to me, Liebling.â He whispers as he raises one of your hands to his lips, planting small kisses across the back of your hand.
âI- I hate my life. I think about just killing myself because maybe I might be happier in death.â
âDonât talk like that.â König looks at you with a mix of hurt and anger, angry because he knows your husband is the reason for this.
âItâs such a depressing life, König.â
Königâs eyes leave yours to look around, making sure that your husband hasnât noticed your absence yet. He pulls off his helmet and leans in to kiss you, his lips desperately clashing against yours. Being able to feel your soft lips, smell and taste drives him wild. Not caring to waste time his tongue quickly pushes past your lips and swirls with yours. The soft moan you let out causes him to moan in response.
âPrinzessin, run away with me.â He whispers breathlessly between kisses.
âI canât leave.â Your voice comes across with a heavy sadness.
König pulls away from the kiss and cups your face in his hands as he gazes down you. His eyes search yours before he speaks. âIâve heard about your marriage. You deserve more. You deserve true love.â He caresses your wet lips with his thumb. âI can build a new life for us.â
âBut-â
âShhh, no buts. Do you still love me?â
âOf course. Iâve only ever loved you.â
âThen please, Liebling. Come with me.â
The thought of leaving the royal life to live as a normal woman soundsâŠterrifying yet tempting all at the same time. You can easily see a future where you are living in the village with a swollen belly in Königâs arms. Anything with König is better than this.
âWe need to go.â You nod your head as you speak, surprising yourself.
König puts back on his helmet and grabs your hand, pulling you behind him as he speed walks ahead. His horse is just outside the gate and his feet canât move him fast enough. He looks back at you to make sure youâre okay to be greeted with wide eyes full of excitement for the future.
âWhere will we go?â
âWe will go an old friendâs house.â König looks back at you again with a smile hidden under his helmet. âDonât worry, Liebling. Youâre safe with me.â
