continuation/aftermath of danny pulling nightwing out of a dumpster

don't let danny fool you with his innocent geek act. that's a working ectogun that he made to look like a phaser. he's absolutely a geek but he's not innocent

I, a Damian apologist think that this little boy did nothing wrong and I am so sorry they made him insufferable in the latest comics. I am so sorry sweetie.

By the way, I love them dearly. Especially the religious guilt Dick feels and the insanity of Tim Drake.

Today I bring you: a fun fact about Holy Interlude, Batman

Originally I had planned to write 2 interludes. One was Tim's, the other was Bruce's. I only decided to write Dick's interlude because I thought of the title first and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use it hdkdjdkdj

It ended up being the first one I wrote,, Tim's is fully sketched out but I only have the first scene done, and Bruce... Well, listen, I have the first sentence ready, and a whole lot of character study planned! I swear!

I am. *incredibly* disappointed to continuously see fanfic authors disregard cool little canon moments for boring fanon ones. Don't get me wrong, fanon » canon most of the time — stop making Damian white, for fuck's sake — but there's just. So much POTENTIAL out there.

Remember Countdown? With Jason stuck in an alternative universe with a Batman that actually killed? Or, I'unno, Tim's weirdly extensive romantic history-non-history? Or the badass Bombshell lore for the Al Ghuls (and Jason!). Hell, try to fix the arcs you didn't like into something you do! Give me a good N52 Titans run! Give me a really cool All Caste Jason run! Give me Damian and Goliath in a proper story! Give me Ric Grayson done well! I'unno!

There's a lot of really cool things to be found there! THERE'S A LOT OF CHANCES TO ASSERT YOUR SUPERIORITY OVER DC COMICS. DO IT. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. DO IT! WRESTLE FATE WITH YOUR OWN BARE HANDS. TWIST IT INTO SOMETHING BETTER. YOU KNOW YOU'RE CAPABLE. DO IT.

Uh. Here’s that car chase scene I was talking about. Free writing brings some really great like, self-expanding ideas. But it literally never goes where I started from. So here’s that scene cut and pasted directly from the notes file that was supposed to be my johnkyle idea.

Weird.

Of course. Of course Dick would be here the minute Bruce ran a red light with just a few miles to spare to reach the Gotham-‘Haven Bridge.

Red and blue lights fill the interior of Bruce’s GT-R.

Fuck. Bruce thinks as the ramming bar appears from between the laundromat and the gas station. The nitro is already empty.

“Fuck!” he shouts, punching the center console. Two dump trucks are parked at the entrance to the bridge. A sea of wood pallets and orange cones litters the river side of the intersection.

Bruce rips back the parking break as he drops a gear. The car elegantly slides sideways through the intersection; the front bumper hugging the median as the tires smoke and scream.

Dick’s car takes the turn with the hint of a fishtail. The heavier, American car wasn’t made to drift like the GT-R.

The cop car begins to wail, but Bruce isn’t stopping. He touches the wire under his shirt. He can’t get Dick involved in this. He can’t.

Bruce downshifts to fifth and puts the pedal to the floor. He’s got two miles of straightaway to put some distance between himself and Dudley Do-Right. If he can just do that, he can make it to the tunnel and out of Dick’s jurisdiction.

Behind him, the headlights seem to flicker. The fog on the road swirls around the BPD logo on the hood. The growling engine seems to pause its rumble and take a deep breath as the paddle shifter moves the clutch at an inhuman speed. The grille opens wider to suck more air into the intercooler. A roar erupts from eight cylinders at full, supercharged pursuit power. The space between the cars begins to rapidly shrink.

Of course he’d be in BPD’s brand new C7.

Dick.

Absolutely they do.

The Bats show their appreciation for Commissioner Gordon by dropping hogtied criminals at his feet like cats do with mice to their humans.

My god college has been kicking my ass non-stop for the past few months,,, but now I offer you: scrapped content from two steps forward, one step back

so, originally, Tim was going to find og timeline Jason's research on his birth mother. This would lead to several events:

1. Bruce would have a talk with Jason about potentially finding his birth mom if he wanted to meet her or go live with her or something, that he would support him on everything. Jason was going to decline the offer, but he was going to be touched about how much Bruce cares about his happiness.

2. One of Jason's candidates for birth mom was Lady Shiva. I thought this was a canonical thing, but I never checked. Like, the reason this idea never happened is because I just... wasn't sure about this part and I never asked my batreader or double-checked in a wiki or smth soooo. Anyways. Lady Shiva! She's Cass's mom, so they were going to find Cass accidentally during this time lol

3. While looking up stuff about Lady Shiva, Tim was going to find out stuff about Talia Al Ghul and, well, from that part on it goes pretty similar to what ended up happening in the fic

4. Babs was going to be there, helping Tim. How did they meet? Unknown, we just hear Dick whining about it one day jdkdjdks

5. Unfortunately there was no Steph. I have the timeline in my head and like, from start to finish, the story takes about a year and eight months, give or take. So, Jason is 17 going on 18 at the end of the fic, and Tim is around 13-14, so I thought it might not be Steph time just yet, y'know?

Now the good news is that I came up with the idea for an epilogue, and here, you can have a little spoiler, as a treat (no pun intended). This epilogue takes place about a year after the end of the og fic, so at some point during that year, Tim becomes Robin, and soon after he meets Steph :)
