I made this based on chapter 12 of i‘ve got the umbrella from the wonderful Hopes for a Bastard series (one could think i was a fan, dunno where that assumption could possibly come from), i just really loved the whole story arc (especially with the ankh) <3

~~~~~~~

i say „based on“ because i changed a few details (one being that the ankh here is made of black glass and has no runes), i also wanted to experiment with how Ravens powers could look

Hope you like it ^^

I have a question about the batch of Jayrea short stories, you wrote. Within them you basically have Raven and Jason living in an apartment. Now I’ve been in quite a few apartments and I know that depending upon certain factors. Your neighbours can hear you. So it kinda makes me giggle just imagining a neighbour minding there own business and than all of a sudden hearing “JASON PETER TODD!!!”. The ceiling is shaking and your shadows in your apartment is acting weird. Your stuff is also prone to either shaking or moving depending upon the woman’s temper upstairs.

Like how have we not gotten information on the neighbours? Are they regular people or those in the Superhero world? Maybe even a villain like… Captain Cold rents the apartment because he doesn’t want to deal with Flash all the time or it could be Grifter. How do they perceive the other apartment? Do they think it’s haunted or do the neighbours just roll there eyes and go “Looks like Jason got into a fight with his girlfriend again.”?🧐🤣😋

I am in no way trying to force this issue. I just sorta wanted to ask. Apologies if it’s too much.😅

Hello,

So it's surprising how few heroes and villains live in NYC but I hope you enjoy! =)

Just Pretend to be Normal!

Living in a J. Peter’s Building came with a certain level of expectation and requirements. There’d be no fuckery, no villainry, heroing, drugs, or criminal activity. Which was great, J. Peters was famed for Blue Discounts, First Responder Discounts, as well as Recovering Housing; that recovering housing was for paroled and released criminals barring certain crimes. For the most part, J. Peters was famed for fresh starts, because he would employ many criminals looking for honest second chances, as well as safe homes for all his tenants. Fucking that up was not permitted, the last supervillain to try to turn his apartment in a J. Peters building was evicted so fast, and visited by the Red Hood, the Riddler was still recovering from whiplash.

That said, Slade liked living in his apartment, 3C, which was directly under J. Peters apartment which housed J. Peters and his girlfriend, Rachel Roth. Slade wasn’t fooled by the personas, he was well aware of who J. Peters was, as well as Rachel Roth, but life as a civilian operated smoothly if there was a bit of separation between the two and he never acknowledged what he knew for fact.

Jason Todd, a.k.a. the Red Hood, was in a serious, committed relationship with Raven from the Titans, and they were living a quiet, nonintrusive life, for the most part. That said, Slade was also aware that he only had this apartment so long as Jason looked the other way and left the unspoken rules of decorum about the heroes-villain world away.

That said, Slade also had to look the other way to the oddities of his upstairs neighbors; he was not fucking with an interdimensional demoness, he had learned his fucking lesson!

Today was no different as his daughter was making a rare visit with him, he and Rose were still on uneasy terms, but she was making an effort, so he was trying too. Today they had had a father-daughter outing, and now she was staying the night, he would be taking the couch. He had waved at Rachel in the lobby of their building when she was getting her mail and he was heading out, he was aware that Jason was out wreaking havoc in Gotham.

The night, for the most part was going smoothly, and now Slade was lounging on his couch, reading quietly, Rose had passed out in his room a while ago. He was squinting at the page; he absolutely refused to get reading glasses, he wasn’t fucking old. There was a loud crash, and he raised his brow as he looked over to his sink where the cutlery was rattling.

“Azar Damnit JASON!” Raven shouted, and he looked at his ceiling.

“It’s not that bad!”

“You’re bleeding all over my freshly mopped floor!”

“It’s just a minor flesh wound.”

“You’ve knicked a major artery, you ass!”

“I am feeling lightheaded, little bird, yell at me after I die again.”

“You’re not dying unless I kill you!”

“Now that’d be a hell of a way to go!”

“Get your mind out of the gutter!”

“I’m a street rat!”

“I’m about to have a dead rat for a boyfriend, who the hell were you fighting!?”

“Oh, you know, Dick, Penguin, regular goons…”

“Dick did this!”

“Yes.”

“Imma going to go kill him!”

Salde winced as the shadows flickered in his apartment and then everything was normal again. He shrugged as he went back to reading his book. As he said, so long as he never acknowledged who his neighbors were, they could all pretend to be civilians and not heroes and supervillains.

“Damian looked over the other idiots he was now going to be on a team with and he felt like gouging his eyes out. This wasn't going to be… whatever it was supposed to be.”

Damian Wayne = Prince of the Anti-Social Society (with homicidal tendencies)

… Is this an invitation for some bondage time?

[inverted-typo]

First off, I love your work; it's amazing and I am always blown away. Secondly, would you consider doing a JayRae piece? I know you mentioned you obsses over ceartin fandoms, don't get me wrong I was ecstatic when DamiRae became official through DC and Raven finally got a Robin. I was just curious if you would consider JaeRae, main reason is due to BluBooThalassophile stories along with Xaphrin and a handful of others. And thank you for gracing us with your work of art 😁

Thank you! Ahh you’re so kind 🥺 I too was ecstatic when she finally got a Robin.

I would be happy to indulge in a taste of JayRae for you! Listen, I don’t know what it is, but I just love Raven being with someone who has a freight load of emotional baggage and generally has zero problems with killing people. So here’s a little doodle for ya! I’ve read some of @xaphrin jayrae fics and I was like: oh. Oh this is good.

[demonbirdsforever]

Recently read the Hopes for a Bastard series again. GOD i love the relationship Raven and Jason have (whatever you wanna call it what they have going on, do i know? do they know?) srsly BluBooThalassophile did such a fantastic job it‘s one of my favoriten things/fanfic/literature ever. So i drew a little something of them hugging <3

[bluboothalassophile]

Good point about Elijah reconnecting to his humanity via the squishy members of the family! :) He does tend to welcome those members in before anyone (Hayley, Hope, Marcel, Freya, even Davina herself!), I'm glad he started acting like a brother Kol deserved.

I personally think that a lot of the Mikaelsons' dysfunction comes from the fact that they're all somehow insanely committed to misunderstanding each other, hiding their true selves from each other and simultaneously thinking they all know each other best, on top of scheming against each other. I honestly think Klaus and Kol know most (not all of them!) members of the family best, but Kol is discreet about it where Klaus is so loud about it that you miss when he's actually right because he's wrong about like everyone else outside of his family or doing something to be an asshole, lol

I am a personal believer in not staying around family who abuses you and I see both Klaus and Elijah as Kol's abusers to a degree (frankly, everyone in the family except Marcel, Davina, Keelin and Hayley are) so I have always been a "hell yeah, kolvina can run away and live their life" kind of guy, but I was glad that even Klaus started changing his tune for Kol (I still think Klaus needs to get his head out of his ass most times, but I wanted more from them in canon. As hostile as they were, they also seemed to be the most physically affectionate with each other of Kol's brothers, and I take every Kol hug I can get). I thought it was so cute when he hugged Davina after he got arrested!

Thank you for such a lovely story!

Hello,

Elijah does have a soft spot for the squishier members of his family and is more accepting of their mortality and fragility than Klaus or Rebekah are. However, it did make it easier for Elijah to reconnect with Kol when Kol became mortal, they were tolerant of one another as immortals, but once Kol became mortal again it did shift the dynamic. Kol is, inarguably, more dangerous as a witch than vampire, but he's also more vulnerable, and Elijah has a soft spot for his mortal family members that exceeds what care he gives the immortal ones. I always thought it was unfair that the Originals couldn't connect with one another, but Kol being mortal did even the playing field for them.

I think that you're partially correct, they were committed to the mental images and understandings they had formulated, but they had over a thousand years of being together and that's bound to bungle up relationships. Also, throw in a familial trauma of being forced to become abominations in the eyes of the natural world, without support or guidance or compassion, it's amazing they didn't wipe out humanity. The Mikaelson siblings went through a lot of shit, and not all of it was bad, but it did mold their bonds in unhealthy ways. It was compounded though because they were dysfunctional before immortality, and as we learnt in TVD, vampirism just makes you more of who you already are, and time warps that. So they were warped after a thousand years of dealing with one another and their already complex dynamics.

Klaus is loud about what he understands, he always thinks he's 'top dog' so to speak, and immortality and invulnerability only inflated his sense of self-importance and ego when he's driven by his insecurities and fears. It made him an insufferable man child, and it did not help that when he was mortal he was coddled even as a grown man. That said, Klaus does have a deep understanding of people and those around him, and that understanding has given him an arrogance about dealing with others and his family, and that arrogance made him loud. He's certain in his judgements and his tactics, and if they fail him, well... he's invulnerable, what can his opponents actually do against him if he's wrong?

Kol on the other hand is quieter, he's flashier because he's willing to let people make a mistake around him and then capitalize on that mistake, whether it's his siblings or enemies. But the trade off is, Kol is 'the Worst of the Worst' and the 'Wildest of [the Mikaelsons]' and everyone is always trying to move ahead of him, because the only way you're going to beat him is by surprise. It's everyone's lack of understanding him that gave him the edge and made him the worst of the Mikaelson. That said, Kol's understanding of his family, and their connections and natures was always more discreet and quieter, because he was always trying to make them understand him and felt it was a failing on everyone because they lacked the connections. Kol lacked the understanding that those lack of connections were driven by his own envious views on his family's 'better bonds' and feeling excluded.

Everyone in the Mikaelson family is an abuser and abused, they are so beyond fucked up that it's pretty clear that the only reason they haven't killed each other is because they can't die. And leaving an abuser, whether it's a parent, partner, sibling, or friend, it's not easy, it's terrifying to strike off on your own when the devil you know is comforting because you know that one, you can predict it, move around it, manipulate it. The devil you don't know is far more terrifying with that in mind. So, leaving sometimes is the most difficult, terrifying decision, and for the Mikaelsons, it's also hard to do because literally no one else is going to understand the shit they've gone through. They're a thousand years old. They were born as Vikings. They have cultural standards and expectations that are no longer in practice or believed or understood, they've witnessed the best and worst of history, they've been hunted and hunters, tormented and tormentors, and they've outlived everyone that they've connected with. It's HARD to leave when no one else can understand that weight, it's easy to say you should when you're on the outside looking in, but it's hard to do when the outside has fucked you over before and the abusers around you are something you know, love and can predict.

Klaus is an insufferable man child, he needed his head ripped out off his ass resewn on his neck, and whacked with an ACME anvil and ACME safe before he might actually learn something. Fucking immature childish ASS! But Klaus canonically did have the biggest change for Kol, but that's because we're seeing the show from primarily Klaus' perspective, it's about Klaus and his evolution to become a semi-decent father for a daughter he did not want or intend to create. We're watching the show knowing Klaus will get his comeuppance and that's what drives the fucking plot unfortunately. The show is told from Klaus' perspective so of course it will be favorable for Klaus' growth. The Originals is not as Mikaelson focused as you think when you watch the show for growth and change, because everything is primarily focused on Klaus. Klaus though does need to grow and change, and it's important for him to learn to connect with his family.

A good portion of the reason I ended the story with Kol and Davina in the Armillary Sphere was because they always had the vibe of running away together.

JayRae Pregnancy Fanfic - Chapter 1

Summary: Life was finally at a good place for Raven. She and her longtime boyfriend, Jason Todd aka Red Hood, had created a comfortable routine and were both happy with their relationship. However, Raven has unexpectedly become pregnant and it feels like the world has decided to empty a dump truck of problems onto her head.

~*~

For those that did not read the prologue of this fanfic please go to this link here:

~*~

(Author’s Note: This fanfic draws a lot of inspiration from BluBooThalassophile’s Hopes For A Bastard Universe, Xaphrin, and other JayRae fanfics. In this fanfic, I have altered a lot of Jason’s storyline after the “Under The Red Hood” story arc. Also, Trigon’s sealed state does not allow for him to initiate contact with Raven or anyone outside of his gem prison. And, finally, in this fanfic Raven is a bit more expressive in this story. This is because she is no longer a teenager who is still getting a handle on her abilities and emotions or affected by teenage hormones plus Trigon has been sealed for about a decade now.)

~*~

Chapter 1

9 months earlier

Raven looked down at Jason’s jean clad butt as he bent over his motorcycle. She sat perched on the nearby workbench as she stared at the 29 year old man. Pulling out a part, he grunted as he straightened up while fiddling with it.

While he was not completely covered in grease, Jason’s fingers were liberally coated in the brown substance.

The mid morning light streamed into Jason’s partially converted warehouse located in New York City. Short unruly black hair with a white streak topped his head. He was not conventionally handsome - life had been too hard on him for that. His face was one that had more character and strength in it than symmetrical perfection. He had a strong unshaven jawline and multiple small facial scars. The only decoration he wore on his head was a swipe of grease on his left cheek. He had removed his earrings because they had a tendency to bother him whenever he put on his Red Hood helmet. He was dressed in an old Rise Against concert T-shirt and light blue jeans that had both, thus far, avoided the grease. His cobalt blue eyes with a ring of green were currently focused on his hands. But, ever so often, they would flick over to her.

She silently thanked Azar that Jason was wearing clothes as he modified the motorcycle. Not many people knew this but Jason Todd liked to wander around in his underwear when he was home alone or it was just the two of them. This tendency of his came from the fact that he hated being hot and the man was usually a furnace. She didn’t mind this quirk of his as she thought he had a great body and liked looking at it. And since Jason’s roommates were out of the warehouse for the weekend, Jason allowed himself to indulge in the habit. But even if it was just the two of them in the warehouse for the weekend, his dressing tendencies posed a safety hazard when he was fiddling with stuff … like bombs and vehicles. But previous experiences that had resulted in a few more scars decorating his body, finally taught him to put some damn clothes on when he was working on one of his gadgets or vehicles. When he did dumb shit like this she was reluctant to use her empathetic healing on him if it wasn’t too serious as she felt it would teach him bad habits… like not being an idiot.

That morning, as usual, Jason had made breakfast waffles for them as she prepared their morning beverages. Ace, Jason’s dog, was fed and let out to do his business.

Currently, the German Shepherd dog was trapped in his penned section of the mechanics bay so that Jason could work in peace. Ace was a highly trained dog but had a penchant for eating random things if the dog was ignored for too long or didn’t have Jason in his line of sight for a couple of hours.

As Raven was a slow eater, she was still munching on her second helping of waffles that morning. The plate of waffles sat in her lap as she watched Jason work. Jason had finished eating breakfast and drinking his morning coffee an hour ago. His time growing up in and on the streets of Gotham taught him to eat quickly. It was a habit that he still held onto even after leaving the streets of Gotham more than 15 years ago. The plates and dirty cooking supplies sat soaking in the sink waiting in the kitchen for Raven to come and wash everything once she was done eating. This was all part of their established routine for the weekends that Raven decided to stay with her boyfriend.

The plate of waffles in her lap was momentarily forgotten as her mind went off on a tangent analyzing the similarities between her longtime boyfriend, Jason Todd aka Red Hood, and surrogate big brother, Victor Stone aka Cyborg, as both men shared a love of tinkering with vehicles.

She found it mildly amusing that both of these important men in her life were mechanically inclined and made excellent waffles yet would sometimes fight over the silliest things. Like they did last month.

Vic had come over to Jason’s house to see if he could advise Jason on a problem that was plaguing his truck. But they didn’t start working on the truck until later that day because they got into an argument for about an hour and a half over which decade produced better music the 60s or the 70s. She loved both of them dearly but they could be such idiots sometimes.

She loved hanging around both men when either one was working on their own mechanical projects. Helping Jason when he was working on his latest vehicle reminded her a lot of her time helping Vic as he worked on the T-Car. To her, her time in the garage with either male was bonding time and provided companionship. When she was with them as they worked on their latest mechanical endeavor, she didn’t feel alone and was surrounded with a feeling of comfort and calm.

When it was her and Vic, they would just talk about their problems or whatever was on their minds. Raven became Vic’s little sister. She might ask him for some advice or give some of her own when he is missing the female perspective on something in his latest relationship.

When she was with Jason, there wasn’t always a conversational aspect to her time with him. She would sometimes read or meditate while Jason did his own thing and they would enjoy the companionable silence. They would also talk when the mood struck.

Whenever she was with Jason, outside of their superhero roles, they weren’t their labels. They were Jason and Raven. Acceptance was a huge part of their relationship and was a main factor in what made them work. They both had trauma and issues that they were both working through.

She came back to the moment when Jason swore a blue streak as he looked down at the part in his hand. Her empathy told her that he was just annoyed and frustrated. As there were no surges of anger or an overwhelming wrath in the emotions coming off of him; she knew that the Lazarus pit’s side-effect of rage was not impacting his emotions currently.

He put down the part on the work table and went to wash his hands in the nearby sink.

He never stopped swearing until he pulled out his pack of cigarettes.

“Please do that outside. Remember that Roy brings Liane here when she isn’t with the Queens.” This was stated calmly and politely with little emotion in it.

“Shit. Fuck. You’re right.” Jason let out a sigh and stomped out of the warehouse to smoke.

Raven let out a soft sigh and let a small smile creep onto her lips. Finishing her last bite of waffles, she placed the plate and fork onto the work table. Walking over to the area that currently penned in the dog. Raven gave the dog a head pat and snoot boop. The small smile was still on her lips when she was done adoring and bugging the dog.

After grabbing her dirty plate and utensils, she began her chore of cleaning the dishes. Internally, she thanked Azar that the dishwasher existed to make this task easier.

It was as she was closing the dishwasher door that Jason came back into the warehouse. Not seeing Raven in the mechanics bay, Jason got Ace from his pen area and entered back into the apartment area.

Hearing Jason walk into the kitchen, Raven asked, “Wanna talk about it?”

Raven looked up from where she was drying her hands to the doorway that Jason had just walked through with the dog. Her empathy indicated that he was calmer than before but wasn’t back to normal.

“Not really.“ Jason responded with an audible sigh as he pushed his hair back off of his face.

“Ok.” Raven shrugged as she put down the towel.

“Hey. Have you seen Constantine lately. Usually he pops up every few months to visit you, right?” Jason asked.

He had walked over to the kitchen island and was leaning towards her with his forearms on the table as he talked to her.

“Yep.”

“Well, it’s been about 3 and a half months since you last mentioned seeing him. So, aren’t we due for a visit from your surrogate father figure?”

For anyone who is intrested in JayRae, and have not yet discovered BluBooThalassophile amazing work. It's really good 😆

[inverted-typo]

Love all your art work😁. And Xaphrin has some great fan fic stories about DamiRae. Have you read OpheliasSong?

And would you consider reading work from BluBooThalassophile? For DC fics they mainly pair JayRae, just hear me out about this one. It is with him having his emotional baggage and sorting it out while Raven is there for him and vice versa. If you are interested you can read BluBooThalassophile work on Ao3 and it begins with Give Me Back My Mind from their Hopes for a Basterd series. Not trying to steer you away from DamiRae (I love this ship still) or anything, I figured you would enjoy their writing. 😃👌

Yess! I’ve combed through both Xaphrin and OpheliaSong’s fics! And I have praised BluBooThalassophile!

Everyone listed is such a talented writer 🥺
