10 for timkon from my favorite timkon writer, please? if u have the time?

10. "I won't let you."

“Go away,” Kon pleads.

His voice is raw, his breath rasping in his throat; he’s crouched amid the rubble, hidden behind a half-demolished wall, all curled up with his knees tucked to his chest. He’s clutching his head so hard his knuckles are pale. Tim looks at him for a long moment, thinking.

If Kon really wanted to, he could push him away with a brush of TTK, could prevent him from taking a single step closer. But he’s too terrified of himself to even think about using his powers on Tim right now. It’s funny—just half an hour ago, before the attack started, he was laughing as he rotated Tim in the air (“See, Bart, it’s a ro-Tim-sserie! Get it?!”).

Tim steps closer. “No.”

Kon scrabbles backwards, his back hitting the dusty corner. “Get—get back! It’s not safe, Rob, please!”

“I’m perfectly safe here.” Tim keeps his voice level as he plops down on the ruined floor next to Kon. “It’s just you and me.”

Kon’s face twists with anguish. “Yeah, that’s the problem—I know you’re not this stupid! She—she tried to m-mind control me, and—and I barely fought it off! What if—if—”

He breaks off for a second, his chest heaving with barely-controlled panic. Tim’s heart aches, just from watching him.

“I could hurt you. Again. Or—or worse—Rob, you have to leave, because—because if I kill you I’ll never, ever forgive myself, I—I’d probably just k—”

“Kon-El.” A note of sternness creeps into Tim’s voice. It does the trick; Kon’s panicked rambles choke off before he finishes that sentence. They both know what he was going to say. “You’re not gonna hurt me.”

Kon’s eyes flick up to meet his, a flash of inhuman blue. All too quickly, though, they drop back to the dust-strewn floor, and Kon bites his lip. “…How’re you so certain?”

“Because,” Tim says, as though it’s simple. It is simple. “I won’t let you.”

Kon inhales sharply. A look of shock, then incredible relief smooths over his features, and he lets out a slow breath, leaning his head back against the wall. “You have kryptonite? God, Robbie, you shoulda led with that, I—it’s a lot easier knowing you could put me down if you have to—”

Tim whips around on him, glaring with the full force of his cowl. His friends joke about it, but the thing is pretty damn unsettling when he needs it to be. And right now, he needs it to be. “Put you down?” he hisses, horror rippling through his stomach and radiating all the way down his legs. “I would never.”

Stunned, Kon stares at him, lips slightly parted, eyes too bright. As Tim watches, his lower lip wobbles just a touch. “I… then what do you mean, you… you won’t let me?”

Oh, for the love of—

Tim reaches for him. Cups his face in his gloved hands, strokes his thumbs over Kon’s cheekbones, and pulls him closer. Presses their foreheads together, cups the back of Kon’s neck. Kon’s eyes are wide as he stares into Tim’s; Tim counts it as a victory that he doesn’t try to pull away.

“How did you fight the spell off earlier?” He rubs his thumb over the back of Kon’s neck, aching inside where it can’t show. Kon doesn’t understand just how precious he is. Maybe that’s Tim’s fault, for struggling to tell him out loud often enough. He’ll work on it.

Kon sucks in a breath. Bites his lip. He still doesn’t pull away. “I… thought really hard about… being my own person,” he finally mumbles. “And about—about what I fight for. What I wanna protect.”

“Bingo.” Tim smiles at him, pets his cheek. “And what do you want to protect? Wouldn’t having it right there make it easier to fight her off again, if she even got the chance to try?”

Kon’s eyes widen. He sucks in a breath, and his lower lip wobbles again. There’s a smear of dust on his cheek from Tim’s glove. Tim tenderly thumbs it away.

“Oh,” Kon whispers, and then—

A net of TTK wraps around Tim and hauls him into Kon’s lap, and then Kon’s arms wrap around his waist as Kon buries his face in his neck. Tim can feel him trembling.

There we go, Tim thinks, pleased. He cradles Kon’s head to himself, strokes the back of his neck again. “See?” he asks. “I told you. Perfectly safe.”

“You have got to stop ruining sweet moments by saying ‘I told you so,’” Kon mumbles into his neck.

Tim laughs, squeezing Kon’s shoulder. Just like that, he knows—his clone boy will be okay.

“Hey there boys; it’s me, ya demon!”

Faaaan Aaaart!

It’s Conrad! Direct from “TCAK Meets Matches Malone”, no less! Featuring:

Conrad’s habit of using lamp posts as shortcuts from roof tops to ground level (and maybe a bit of pole spinning on the way down to bleed off momentum).

The BatBlinder, little Caleb’s multi-laserpointer invention designed to keep creeper bat themed vigilantes from peeping into windows at all hours of the night.

Batman, lurking, like the very concerned dad who just worries about his crime boss son getting tangled up with boys who are nothing but trouble. Unlike his son. The crime lord.

Conrad’s son-corrupting tactical hench abs.

The Issue 3 label, which is just such an excellent detail.

That ducking -awesome- Red Hood as a Reddit avatar logo for the ‘O’ in Conrad. I am just over the ducking moon with that. It’s perfect.

I am just filled with ducking delight, y’all!

(This is absolutely fantastic, @bandanabiel, I am at a loss for words)

“It’s me, ya demon! Who’s first up to get their femurs shattered tonight?”

Conrad from The Completely Normal Adventures of a Crime Alley Kid by @therealbeachfox! Go read it! :) A couple variants under the cut.

thank you @bandanabiel for tagging me :DDD

uhhhhhhhhhh ill tag um. uh. @hhave-a-nice-day @welcometothesoupstore and @lovelessinmanhattan for it. hey gang show me what youve been writing. go on.

[mamawasatesttube]

6 & 29 for the ask game? i love your work!!

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

not "all the time" per se but i've definitely gone back to both fill in the blanks by @mindshelter and blush by @misspickman a few times. what can i say, i love it when tim is besotted and kon gets loved <3

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

okay i DO plan to post this.. eventually... when i finish the other 5 chapters of it... but given that i have no idea when that will be, here's a bit of the "jon's friends keep thinking his big brother is hot and he's in hell about it" wip sfdkjh (under the cut for length!!)

fanfic writer asks!

Any thoughts Yichen had about going to the skate park tomorrow get zapped clean out of his head as an engine purrs, and a sleek, sexy as hell motorcycle peels into the parking lot.

It’s a gorgeous dark red color, with black accents, exposed chrome exhaust pipes, and a front light and handlebars to match. It’s not obnoxiously loud, but its thrum is powerful and satisfying. It sounds expensive, if that’s even possible.

The sexy bike rolls to a stop right in front of the three of them, and the rider rests his foot on the ground for support. He’s tall and broad-shouldered, wearing a leather jacket covered in patches and studs—the shoulders are spiked, and a little chain dangles from one of the pockets.

Yichen identifies a few hero logoes among the patches on both the back and front; there’s the Superman family crest, obviously, on one shoulder, and then Wonder Woman’s winged W on a trapezoid. One of the Flash lightning bolts, too, in red and white—Yichen isn’t good at remembering which hero is which, outside of Metropolis. Is that… no, Kid Flash is yellow. Oh well. There’s others he doesn’t recognize at all, like a round yellow-and-black one right over the rider’s heart with a weird… bird-shaped thing, maybe?

Man, he really oughtta brush up on his heroes.

But that’s beside the point, because holy shit. This guy—this is the coolest guy he’s ever seen in his life! That jacket, the boots—chunky, thick-soled, covered in belts and buckles—and the ripped jeans, with barely-visible fishnets peeking out through the tears. This guy has fashion! Ho-lee shit, what is someone like that doing here?

Jon hops down from the brick fence with a sigh. “Alright,” he says, and leans down to pick up his backpack. “Well, I’ll see you guys.”

“Wait,” Priya says. “That’s your ride?”

Jon blinks. “Uh, yeah? Why?”

The cool as hell motorcyclist pulls off his helmet. Yichen’s jaw drops.

It’s like seeing Jon’s dad’s face transplanted onto a guy half his age and so much hotter. He’s got high cheekbones and a square jaw ever-so-slightly dotted with stubble, and piercing blue eyes just like Jon’s dad, and his hair falls in curls that should be crushed and flattened from the helmet but somehow still look amazing.

“Yo, Jonno!” Conner calls. “C’mon, we’re gonna hold up traffic!”

“I’m coming!” Jon hollers back. “I’m just saying bye, jeez!”

Yichen finally remembers how to close his mouth and does so. He doesn’t feel cold anymore—his face is on fire. “Dude.”

Jon tilts his head quizzically. “Yeah?”

“Dude,” Yichen repeats.

“What, Yichen?” Jon glances at Priya for clarification, but doesn’t seem to find any. What the hell does he need clarified here?

“Dude!” Yichen clutches at his hair. “Duuuude!”

“What!” Jon hefts his backpack onto his shoulders. “Stop ‘dude’ing at me and say it already!”

Yichen jumps down from the brick wall and grabs Jon by the shoulders. How does he not get it? How does he not get it?!

“Dude,” he says, as intense and emphatic as he can hope to get. He shakes Jon slightly, then points at Conner. “That is your brother?”

“Uh… yes?” Jon squints at him. “Is that, uh… a problem?”

Yichen clutches at his hair again. “Dude!” he exclaims in consternation. Grabs at Jon’s shoulders again. “Oh my god. Dude! Dude! You never told me your brother is hot!”

Out of the corner of his eye, Yichen almost thinks he sees Conner laugh. Except that’s not possible, because the engine definitely drowned out his words—they’re not that close to the roadside. Priya definitely laughs, though, covering her mouth with one hand.

Jon, meanwhile, wrinkles his nose. “…Ew.”

[kkblackswamp]

lmao it’s still me, i just accidentally deleted my tumblr and now gotta restart it. this is a little bit hell

[icyfox17]

He pauses his walk, and turns to watch the rain hit the ocean, feeling mesmerized by the way the droplets turn into ripples and cause their own mini waves on the surface of the water.

Hmmm idk who to tag LOL @jiksvokrat @viaalterego @angrilydancing @sleepdeprivedofmycorn @sunflowervc @bandanabiel

No pressure:D

Last Sentence/Tag Game

Thanks to @thescrapwitch and @cycas for the tag!

RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

Been a busy weekend and I haven't been able to write for a couple days, but here's the latest sentence from my current WIP, wherein Maedhros is That Dad Who Didn't Want A Cat:

Just before the door slams, he thinks he hears the creature on Caranthir’s lap let out a smug mewl.

Which comes out to...19 words. Whew! It looks like a lot of people I'd want to tag already have been, so I'm not going to get to nineteen, but I'll do some.

Ok

I think my hair is the best thing about me it might seem a bit pathetic but I used to hate my hair so much but ever since I got a hair cut it's just nice and easy

My hands? I play the paino so they look kinda good

I do like my eye colour, they are a greeny gray (though in some lights they look blue) and there's a thin golden ring around my pupil and it makes it look one of a kinda

My freckles I don't have many but I have some and I think without them I'd look pretty boring

I guess my face I have a androgynous face (which means boy male and female features so it is easyer to confused to straight white christain homophobes of my gender) it makes me look non binary and I am non binary so it helps alot

I'm listening through your hunger au playlist and "lover, please stay" is scaring me so bad EUEUEE /pos

My brain is STORMING, i have IDEAS AND THEORIES and i'm not emotionally prepared for any of them

I absolutely love it when people speculate on the playlist bc ive been SO careful cultivating it and making sure every song matches a part of the fic near perfectly, even if its in an abstract sense. Hunger au playlist my beloved my cinnamon apple my shining star in the night<3 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 i work so hard on that dang thing

"lover, please stay" is a new one that my friend @/bandanabiel sent me a week ago and it fit a scene i have planned within the next few chaps so scarily well that i added it on the spot. i will neither confirm nor deny theories about it but you are absolutely welcome to speculate in my inbox while i kick my feet and giggle [insert scheming discord emoji here]

[ilexdiapason]

@bandanabiel !!

yawn do u know any good resources for learning tagalog my friend kip is TRYING but cant find any </3

hello ilex's friend kip :D !! first off i have to recommend you this very good video right here

mainly directed towards filo diaspora but still helpful if you're not, features a lot of great tips and has timestamps to skip to the actual tips part

here are 2 channels he recommends for learning basics and how the language works

definitely avoid channels or videos that have non-filos teaching you tips or the language itself and also the filipinopod channel as it teaches tagalog in a very formal manner that no one here talks like

and here is a pretty good tagalog dictionary i definitely recommend i think ethan from the first video also recommends this dictionary

i'd probably offer my own tips if i knew exactly what for you're learning tagalog for.

such as. if it's because you're actually going to the philippines, be mindful of the many languages and dialects we got around here and tagalog isn't gonna be the main language everywhere so do research!

its definitely a lot when learning tagalog. especially when you get to verbs and conjunctions where there's like a dozen variations of one verb. and learning any language is intimidating so do your best and its ok if your tagalog kinda sucks. mine kinda does too ♥️ <- 1st language is bisaya
