#I love hockey aus sm too but I also love thinking about their dynamic like this like...what if they were rivals despite

[transjlawrence]

Hockey/figure skater au where Johnny's a figure skater and Daniel is a hockey player.

They start out as rivals because Johnny thinks the hockey team uses the ice too long and makes a snippy comment to Daniel about it, which in turn starts a rivalry about it.

They continue to make snippy comments back and forth to each other while Johnny's coach and Daniel's team just watches.

(Ali, Chozen, and Susan are on Daniel's team and they're just not bothered by what Johnny says bc who cares, but Daniel is bothered by him.

Kreese actually thinks this may be a good development and it would be good if Johnny had some kind of outside force to motivate his routines.)

Johnny and Daniel end up meeting each other because they both sign up to help out with some hockey camp.

(Johnny thought it'd be cool to help out, because he wanted to do hockey before his mother told him he should do figure skating since it's less violent and Daniel wants to help kids learn hockey.)

Daniel and Johnny kind of bicker while they help and almost bite each others heads off, but they end up growing closer since they're trying to help plan drills out of practice.

They end up still bickering a little which in turn leads to wrestling where Johnny wins since he has more muscle mass. And yes, Daniel is bitter because he's the hockey player who fights, not Johnny.

They also end up learning they have a lot in common and Daniel learns Johnny likes hockey.

("The Kings are where it's fucking at, man."

"Fuck the Kings, dude. What do they got over the Devils?"

"A cool mascot."

"Shut up! A devil is a cool mascot!")

(It should be noted the 1984 Devils and Kings were both,,,woof.)

They'd somehow end up becoming friends and then lovers because Johnny falls for Daniel as soon as he sees him get into a fight. Daniel ends up winning his fight and is like yelling as he gets dragged away and Johnny is just like, "This better not awaken anything in me."

Daniel also falls for Johnny because he sees his routine and it's just gorgeous. Johnny is so elegant and graceful and beautiful when he's normally all edges and teeth, and Daniel loves it all.

Okok fr questions because I’m obsessed with Tim figure skater AU

Because the bats aren’t aware of tim being the one behind his vigilante mask, how are his relationships with them out of the suits? Do they interact often or on spare few occasions? (I see the happy birthday Bruce message and think they don’t talk *too* often? idk)

ALSO JANET AND TIMS SIGNATURES… them being so similar has me rocking back and forth crying (interpret as you will)

AHHHHH I LOVE FIGURE SKATING TIM AUUUUUU

be prepared i am about to YAP cause i love this au sm and now i gotta talk about it LFMAO

So far, the backstory is that Jay ended up not dying and was just extremely injured after the Joker incident. When he got back on his feet again, he joined a hockey team to make more friends outside of the hero community. Cass wanted to try figure skating and they start going to a rink in Gotham, and that's where they met Steph, who is "not" a vigilante. (She is, but more on that in a sec.)

While there, they start to hear more about "Tim" who comes by sometimes and is Steph's friend (they met when they were much younger and they are besties), and they end up connecting that the Tim they're talking about is "that famous figure skater from Bristol" that's always in the news. Cassie is a huge fan of Tim's, and she freaks out when she hears from Jason and Cass that this rink is one that Tim frequents. That's why she ends up dragging Bart and Kon to the rink to see Jason's practices or to hang out with Cass- so she can meet Tim.

However, it's sort of a well kept secret that Tim and his rink friends have. He's not supposed to go there anymore, because he has a private rink. Janet lived, but Jack went into his coma still. He eventually woke up and while Jack is recovering, he finds out they moved back to Bristol full time and there's no more travelling. In turn, they spend more time with Tim, but it's also a strain on their relationships. Jack gets on Tim's case about school, and Janet becomes Tim's manager and pressures him about skating. So Tim doesn't get to visit the rink as often anymore because of his workload. Like, he's in the gym 24/7, does his schoolwork online (he's grades ahead), doesn't ever get a break. Meanwhile, Jack and Janet are always fighting and sort of using Tim as an outlet/weapon against the other.

Buuuuuut, when he does visit, he meets Jason, Cass, Cassie, Bart, and Kon through the connection with Steph and other unnamed rink friends. They start getting to know Tim through the times that he's at the rink, and Steph, who is Janet's #1 hater and an instigator at heart, starts pushing for the vigilantes to look more into Tim's life and befriend him.

The dynamics at play are super funny because Steph and Tim are a vigilante. "A" vigilante, as in sharing the same identity. Tim doesn't have the time in his schedule to go out there, so Steph takes up that part of the role and they share this identity together- Steph taking out the bad guys as "Bird Watcher" and Tim doing the computer/tech work as "The Ornithologist". They're both detectives in their own right and work so well together that it's incredibly hard to distinguish that they aren't one person. They both know that the Bats are the Bats, but the Bats are unaware that these two are the same vigilante they've been trying to figure out for years now.

The rest of the family meets Tim through Jason's hockey stuff, away from Janet and just who he is as an individual. And then they see his figure skating side and the dynamic he has with Janet when Cass enters the same competitions as Tim. (This is my world and they compete against each other.) Obviously, Bruce sees this black haired, blue eyed kid who has parents that treat him like shit and goes "Another one, thank you!" So Tim ends up getting closer to them that way and Steph (again, Janet's #1 hater and looking for members for her club) is having the time of her life causing chaos on the side.

There is... a "tiny" little detail that I won't share yet, cause I truly do want to write this au at some point, and it's way more fun to see people react in real time to it. (I have SOOOO many Tim aus it's not even funny. Blame alighterwood for that.)

Also YESS Tim and Janet are so alike but so completely different it makes me CRAZY
