#au where jason doesn't know what normal people do when there's trouble

[sadlynotthevoid]

It's sad that most fics with the Accidental Vigilantism tag are only BNHA fics.

Like, I want to see Jason "I don't know what being normal is" Todd go around doing lowkey and not so lowkey hero/vigilant stuff while thinking he's just being a good neighbour.

Maybe when he was a kid a neighbour helped him or saved him and went like "we're all from the Alley, we have to help ourselves. That's what neighbours are for" and he ran with it. And maybe Bruce did told him not to use Robin movements because he's Bruce Wayne's son and that's sus, but he took it too literary. Like, "helping is okay as long as I don't act like Robin" and later on he keeps with this.

Except now he's not Jason Todd-Wayne anymore, he's just Jason Todd from the next door. It's not strange if he can fight a bit, right? (He doesn't have idea what a bit is like).

More than once he ends up taking down a hideaway of a traffic ring as himself and doesn't think twice of it. He just saw someone being dragged into a van so he followed them. By feet? Why yes, he runs in his free time. Why didn't he call the police? This is Crime Alley, in Gotham. What police? How did he deal with all those guys by himself? Muscles and Home Alone shenanigans.

His vigilant identity is only safe because people either believe he doesn't have one or he's other cape. There're bets going on about which one he is.

Once, he's at college when an enormous sculpture starts falling down almost crushing a bunch of students. Almost. A moment Jason is there, talking with his friends, the next he's holding the thing from reaching the floor by its legs. What? He's a big guy and works out a lot.

Tall, dark hair, bright blue-ish eyes and Strong? That day 'Superman' is added to the list.

Yandere DC Purge Au pt 2

A/N: Yandere themes, fem reader, canon typical violence, bonus points if you know the Jerome I'm referring to at the end 😩🤟🏽 feedback welcome

Booted feet hit the pavement rapidly, your breath comes out in pants as you book it through Gothams streets. (H/c) Hair clung to your face in ringlets, you were soaked but the heat of adrenaline kept you warm. The night was in full swing with screams echoing throughout the night, you curse under your breath ignoring the urge to help those people, you had to save yourself first.

A large imposing man was wrangling someone into his car, a gun in his hand he looks around wildly, he sees you coming and takes aim before firing, the first bullet wizzes past your cheek, the second one catches you in the neck, you roll your eyes, ignoring the man and the already healing wound, the bullet gets pushed out of your skin hitting the wet ground with a clang. You're fast, enhanced speed allowing you to book it across Gotham much swifter than a normal human being.

Bruce is about a block away from where your tracker last pinged, Tim diligently searched for the signal while Dick, Jason, and Damian followed on foot. They navigate the streets fluidly, a testament to their knowledge of their City. Your keen sense of hearing alerts you to a massive gathering of people coming up, it sounds like some sort of debaucherous street party? As you come upon the crowd you notice people in purge masks grinding against each other, you can't help but grin, this was the perfect way to lose them.

Music blared from six foot speakers, a makeshift stage had been built in the middle of the street, some people were chained to others, dazed looks on their faces as they danced with their captors. You took a moment to think, you knew these bastards well, well enough to know they were probably tracking you, patting yourself down, your fingers catch on a small circular device under your right shoulder, something so innocuous you wouldn't have noticed it if you weren't looking, sucking your teeth, you remove your jacket with finesse, you pick a stranger at random, everyone here was drugged out and blissful, so it wasn't hard to drape the garment over a random girl's shoulders.

Maneuvering through the busy crowd was easy as you appeared to be the only sober one there.

Bruce curses under his breath as Tim alerts him of your location, you were asking for trouble, a street party on purge night? What were you thinking?!

Damian arrives first, the crowd is too consumed in their pleasure to notice the vigilante, his hooded figure cuts through the crowds like a warm knife through butter, Tim was feeding him information on your location through his earpiece, his face was set in a glare, he hated the idea of all these scumbags surrounding you, tainting you, his grip on the hilt of his sword never waivers.

Dick is close behind, his eyes scanning the crowd for your features, every (h/c) haired woman he saw made his heart pick up, but none of them were you.

Jason doesn't bother with niceties, he shoves his way through the crowd, pushing anyone and everyone out of his way, "(y/n)!" He yells over the pulsing music, "Don't make this harder than it has to be kitty."

Meanwhile you watch them from the shadows of the stage, you needed a distraction, something that would give you a real shot at escaping, so you trip a burley guy making him crash into a group of men, when he turns to glare at you, you point to the man beside him in blame, that's all it takes for the violence to break out.

The three Wayne men near you couldn't simply watch the riot, despite their mission, you, they had a job to do, so they go about wrangling the now rowdy crowd, and you use the mayhem to slip away into the night.

You don't stop running until the sounds of the party fade, replaced by the usual chaos of the purge, you pant, hands on your knees as you lean against the grime covered alley wall. You can hear your heart pounding in your ears, blood rushing as your body tries to acclimate to the adrenaline coursing through your veins.

"Well, what's a pretty thing like you doing in a town like this?" A male voice questions from the entrance to the alley, your head snaps up to meet his electric green gaze, you recognized his infamous smile anywhere, having thrown his ass into Arkham more times than you could count you can't help but sigh at the sight of the up and coming kingpin.

"Fuck do you want Jerome?"

have u thought about an same age au or an age reversal au?

~Age Reversal~

As the result of his parents’ debts, Jason is essentially sold into the Maroni crime family as a sub-level grunt after both his dad and mom are gone.

Everything with Zucco and Haly's Circus still goes down, only it's Jason who's made responsible for cutting the trapeze wires.

Only Jason can’t do it. He won’t.

The assignment already gives him pause; it makes his stomach turn. It's when he sees the Grayson family that he knows he can't go through with his task though

It's because he sees how Dick's parents are. They’re so good. Loving and caring and warm and present and Jason doesn’t know that kind of love, not really, but he knows what it’s like without and he can’t do that to a child

Dick witnesses Jason's insubordination/betrayal. Like he eavesdrops on Zucco giving the order and he's there to watch as Jason contemplates going through with it, but in the end Jason walks away and Dick is still scared, but relieved because his family is okay

The direct disobedience gets Jason into hot water (a beating, gun to his head, threats made)

Maybe Dick tries to help

Maybe Mary and John also get involved to protect their son/their family/friends/home

Jason being given a second chance. He's handed a gun, only he uses it against Zucco's men while telling the Grayson family to run

It's a violent scuffle that ends with two gunshots

Despite Jason's efforts, Dick’s parents still get killed and Jason can’t stop it; he tries to and gets brutalized for it - pistol whipped and stunned and made to watch as two bullets pierce John and Mary in their chests

Everyone hears the gunshots

Jason is shell shocked by the brutality. He wants to rush over and help (put pressure on the wounds, cover the kid’s eyes, anything), but he’s dragged away

Bruce gets there after the Maroni family gets away

He sees the damage and breaks for Dick; the scene is painfully familiar - so is Dick's reaction (scrambling to stem the blood loss, but the bodies are already still; bloodied hands and chilling screams; cries, screams, wails of anguish)

Jason hears them - he might break down a bit too from regret

Everything carries on as normal. Bruce takes Dick in. Dick becomes Robin. And he has a vendetta against Zucco and the Maroni family, sure, but also? He comes to recognize that there are a lot of people like Jason - troubled people in troubling circumstances that leads to troublesome things. He wants to help with that, too.

Jason gets pushed further down the Maroni line

He can’t even be trusted as a drug runner, so they use his body in a way he can’t fuck them over with

Because Jason is the one getting fucked 👀

And I don't know where this is going, but I guess Robin!Dick would come across Jason again years later. Maybe while Batman and Robin are dismantling a human trafficking ring and Jason is one face among many. Or rather, maybe he's hidden away in even worse circumstances as punishment for daring to go against Zucco and the Maroni family.

Jason escapes to the bowels of Gotham during the cleanup as police and forensics sweep through. Dick looks for him, having recognized him, but his attention gets pulled away because there's still work to be done.

Robin finds Jason on the streets later though. And Jason is tired. He's beaten down and wants to die, but then there's Robin badgering him at every opportunity. Because Dick is fond of Jason on principle, given how Jason tried to save him and his parents despite his tragic circumstances. Jason is good; Dick wants to be good to him.

Thus starts Jason's adventures of being stalked by Robin as he tries to put the pieces of his life together. With Dick's help. //u///

Somehow it's easier to imagine Dick being more content in Gotham with Jason there. And oh, Jason. He's got this brat so many years his junior mooning over him and he just - he doesn't know what to do with it? He feels especially pathetic when Robin!Dick flirts and gets playful with his teasing and Jason flusters? What the hell. Jason is OTL

Just Jason learning to find safety and comfort in Robin and Dick being Dick.

This idea has good bones but my mind has drawn blank LOL. Forgive me, anon. This was fun though!

Historical!AU, with rich noble girl Christine Cunningham and stable boy Edward Munson:

Chrissy's family is moderately noble, having some distant ties to a local lord but nothing too fancy. They're probably merchants or vintners.

Eddie's mom died in childbirth and his father passed away in an accident when he was four. His uncle Wayne raises him

The two kids met for the first time when Wayne deemed him old enough to start working with him in the Cunningham stable, which was when he turned 8 (it was the ye olden days, ok? so this is normal 😀) and Chrissy was 6. Instant puppy crush, but neither understood what they were feeling. Eddie used to think rich girls were just snobby spoiled little things that hated his kind, but Chrissy was different. She was kind and gentle and smart and curious. But only when they were alone. He saw glimpses of her with her parents and other nobles and she looked completely different, stiff and proper like a porcelain doll in her fancy get up.

They developed a timid little friendship over their childhood years whenever Chrissy could sneak out to come see him and the horses. He taught her how to feed them and brush them, promising to teach her to ride someday but she was afraid her mother would reprimand her. Chrissy always had to bath herself thoroughly after a day spent with Eddie before supper came because her mother could smell the horses and the hay on her, and she didn't want to get lectured every time she went out to see her friend.

They start to spend more time together when they're in their teens after Chrissy is granted a little more freedom to roam around. And slowly, they start developing more intense feelings for each other and both are terrified.

Eddie talks to Wayne about it one day and the man immediately warns him off of it, "Because we're not the same, her people and us. We're dirt beneath their boots and they will never see us as equals. Best you bury those feelings, boy, before you get yourself in trouble."

Chrissy is specifically horrified because ever since she was born, she's been told there's only one person she's supposed to love and to one day marry, and it's the pastor's son, Jason Carver. She's met Jason a few times and he's a nice boy, he's polite, he's got great table manners and he can command the room's topic of discussion even as young as he is. But she doesn't love him, she loves.... Oh no.

So the two bury their feelings deep within, tension builds every time they are around one another because they just want to kiss the other

Cue the angst!!! The Cunninghams and the Carvers finally settle on an engagement and the kids are to be married in a few months. Chrissy withdraws herself and stops coming out to see Eddie. Eddie is just gutted but there's nothing he can do.

Quickly, the wedding day draws near and Chrissy just gets more and more depressed. And on the night before the big day, she sneaks out of the family manor, ventures out to the town, and finds the Munson home. Eddie lets her crawl into his window, unbelieving that this is actually happening, and they spend the whole night staying up just talking about all their feelings and emotions. They kiss and Chrissy feels like she can breathe for the first time in months.

"Let's run away together..." Eddie suggests, and through her tears, Chrissy says yes.

Eddie knows of an abandoned shack deep in the woods where there are rumors of witchcraft and demonic happenings around, but Eddie likes to use this place as his hideout and knows it is harmless. They rebuild the shack as well as its surrounding area and make it their home in the woods. Eddie steals livestock from a few farms in town to raise his own animals, while Chrissy gardens and plants their fruits and vegetables. They are self-sustainable, and thanks to the nefarious rumors of the area, no one ventures out here to find them. They can live in peace and quiet with just each other.

Feel free to add more or write a fic. Please write a fic of this, I beg of you. I don't have the vocabulary to write a period piece, I just really want one.

[lost-opium-artblog]

You're welcome but I'm the one for thanking you! It's not often that someone ask about my AUs idea like that ^^ So it made me happy! <3 And i'm even more happy that you enjoy it! thank you! I could imagine that the ex-wife was a bit grossed out, the idea of your husband turning into an animal can make make... the relationship questionable. Maybe she receive insult of being "the wife of a dog" and it grew in her mind and got more and more disgusted. Salim would have been heartbroken but would have let her go since she was suffering because of him. But don't worry, Zain doesn't mind :) If people made fun of him he'd just tell them that at least his baba is tearing apart americans and he's proud of him x). Also I imagined that, Salim would turn at home during night when Zain was little and having a nightmare or later too when hearing bombing further. They'd sleep together in the living room on the pillows, cuddling, with Zain petting his baba's fur and listen to the his deep breath to calm himself down and fall asleep. I also thought about the fact that fullmoon makes werewolves a bit more feral, powerful and hungry than usual. They get restless and some can attack by accident. So the iraqi military call them all in a fort during the night where they are grouped and fed meat. So during that night, Zain would go to sleep at Tariq's house and wake up early in the morning to get back home and prepare a nice breakfast for his exhausted baba when he comes back home <3

As for Jason, I'll try to make a drawing where he's not hissing XD It was just an excuse to open his mouth here, because otherwise he's pretty normal, but you know him, he's a little angy ball. But rucifix and garlic doesn't work on him, his species is way older than christianism and garlic.. well now thinking of it, if you force anybody to eat raw garlic like that i think they might suffocate and die X'D I can see the vampires feeding on blood, though, they'd be able to eat whatever else they want. The thing is that the other stuff wouldn't actually satiate them completely. Like humans can't live on salade, they need proteins and stuff, vampires would still need blood. So they wouldn't feed on human unless consenting, they'd feed on some animal or on ... sorry can't find the word right now but like fake blood? Not the one you use for halloween lol but i could imagine with a society like that, scientist would have created fake blood for vampire. Not as efficent than actual blood so actual blood would be a little bit luxury. Though now you makes me thing, what if the farm of the Gomez was actually a blood farm? Animals aren't killed in there but they got drained from blood, then fed back to be good and healthy etc... like a blood donation. And they have different type of blood: horse, cow, goose, etc. So yeah maybe Lucky escaped from there haha. I will also answer for Werewolves, they'd still be omnivorous but don't expect them to be vegetarian or vegan. They'd need meat to survive.

About the jobs, Jason lifestyle is the same as in the game. He was a bit rebellious, skipped class, did drugs and big big big amount of drugs so it can hit his vampire body that is a bit more resistant on that. He comes from poor family, had trouble with his parents, maybe did some odd jobs to by himself drugs, until the infamous day and he decides to sign up and get immediately accepted. For Salim, I had to do some research already for the canon (I was curious) and the republican guard was created when he was 19. He got Zain at 22 so what I was thinking already is that he got conscripted rather early, met his future wife who was like "wow marrying a soldier! yey!" they married, got their child and then, back the AU, some years later after getting some higher rank, Salim becomes a shifter. His relationship with his wife deteriorate until she leaves and then he has to count on Tariq's mom to keep his kid when he can't be at home.

Yeah I think the military could use chip as dog tag, at least on its beast soldiers. could also be used to easily count them, see how many is missing, etc...

It's been a while since I wrote anything and I have to write for my training already and it's giving me anxiety ^^' I actually have trouble expressing myself, no matter the language I'm using so...I'm good at organizing my stuff and throwing my ideas or scene that I have in mind, but to make it readable and pleasant? nope! And to do so it takes me soooooo long. Plus as much as I love this AU I don't really know where to go with that? Soo... yeah :/ BUT! But I'm totally open for collaboration. I did that with some writer friends where we share ideas and build the scenario together (sometimes I even draw on the side) and it makes something nice! There is actually @silkyterrier34 who's doing an amazing job by writing the pov of Zain from my POW AU comic :D They come time to time to ask me how things would happen in this or that case, I reveal some ideas of where I'm heading with my comic, I also use what they wrote to lead my own scenario and I think it's going pretty well! I don't mind having a closer collaboration like I do with other friends :) So if you want to write and collab with me, be my guest :)

Before I asked any questions. I'd like to say I love your art style and appreciate that you share your beautiful artwork with the fandom. Thank you so much!

Also I hope I don't overwhelm you with my questions about your Jalim vampire/werewolf au. I tried to limit them to the ones that I really wanted to know, but there is still quite a bit of them.

First off. What kind of hierarchy do your vampires/werewolves adhere to? Do they follow a pack dynamic (ABO?) or are they independent individuals?

Is there racism/speciesism toward vampires/werewolves? (Asking cause you said that Salim's wife left cause she didn't want to be a wife to a 'dog'.) And do they have a bias against each other?

Since you said that Jason's comes from a poor vampire family. Does that mean that vampires in the US are part of human society and class structures?

Once you get turned into a werewolf in the Iraq army, are you limited to the kind of jobs you can do? Or are you stuck in the military for the rest of your life?

Same questions with the vampires that join the US marines since you said that they get evolved to be resistant to the sun.

Last one I promise. Are vampires/werewolves in the military force to wear devices to track and to control them incase they become feral or try to desert?

Sorry if I'm asking too much. I'm just super fascinated with vampire/werewolf aus and how people chose to alter or adhere to the established lore.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your words and attention to my art! <3 And you don't overwhelm me at all, don't worry about that, I'm always happy to talk about AU and share with others! 1- As much as I like some kind of a/b/o, werewolves here would be more individuals and simply follow human rules. Like, if Salim obey Dar, (yes Dar would be one too) it wouldn't be because Dar is an alpha or I don't know what but simply because he is his Captain. The ones promoted to leader titles would be the ones who show the skills to be one as much as it is the same for a mere human :) 2- I think there would be some specism yes but of course, not everybody is against shifters or vampires. They'd still be respected at a certain level. Like, on the Iraqi side, they are the ones protecting the country from the american invasion, they are still people working and putting their life in danger to protect their home, but some are simply turned down by the idea of being close to a person able to turn into a beast. Same for the vampires, some think they should be eradicated, other are glad they are part of the defense in USA. When it comes to werewolf vs vampire, nah. There is vampire in iraq and a few werewolves in USA as well. There would be some hate but not like the stereotypical war we're used to hear about X) Jason wouldn't like much shifters because the iraqi army use them but he wouldn't care about an american werewolf. And Salim... well it's Salim, he's chill. 3- Yes, vampires would be living among humans, vampirism seen as some sort of disease/species mix. They's leave peacefully around each other, despite some specism that will always happen, but in majority, yeah, vampires are accepted among humans, and live like them. So there is rich, poor, farmer (Joey is another vampire and comes from a family of farmer :) ), policeman, politics, teacher, whatever. 4- Good question! I think you don't have to stay in the military if there is no need for you anymore (since in this time everybody was conscripted well... leaving the army was... eh). Werewolves can do whatever job they want after, thoug, they'd be mostly asked to join job that require their skills. 5- as said above, vampires can work anything too :) they are also asked in job that requires their skills but can be a librarian or a farmer if they want. just need to be covered under the sun light :) but most work at night. 6- huh that'd be interesting! They could actually have a ... how do you call that? A chip? like you know for the cats and dog if they get lost? And here you go! thank you for your question! if you have more, just go ahead! I love werewolves/vampires aus too and i absolutely love drawing them. I might not have the skill to write but i do have idea so it's always nice to let it out ^^
