#but now regrets it

What if the two characters realizing it's ok to not want kids is the twist.

For example: at the start of the road trip, the couple are ostensibly only getting the abortion for practical financial reasons. Obviously they would love to keep this baby, but right now they can barely support themselves, nevermind a whole ass infant. They're just being realistic! That's what they keep telling themselves/their family & friends back home, anyways.

Their first big emotional bonding scene involves a late night "what would you do if you won the lottery" discussion, where they discover that they both have very similar dreams. Going backpacking across every continent, founding and running a sanctuary for large and dangerous animals, working as doctors for refugees in active warzones, whatever. The important thing is that none of those dreams are really compatible with raising kids.

The day before the couple arrives at the abortion clinic, they get an unexpected financial windfall (possibly the lottery discussion led to them impulse buying scratch off tickets at a gas station or something). It's big enough to solve their money problems completely, so all of their "we just can't afford to have a baby right now" reasoning becomes moot. They're flooded with messages from well meaning family & friends congratulating them and saying how wonderful it is that they'll be able to keep the baby after all! Meanwhile, the couple are exchanging mute looks of dread.

The emotional climax of the movie involves the couple coming to terms with the fact that, no, they aren't selfish or bad for still not wanting kids, despite a lifetime of social messaging that has conditioned them to believe otherwise. With an optional side of "oh god, what if s/he wants to keep the baby now, will I have to choose between pursuing my dreams and staying together" angst. The last scene of the movie has them walking out of the clinic hand-in-hand, having just gotten a two-for-one abortion+tubal ligation, plus a vasectomy for the dude.

And then they go get chili dogs.

there's an extremely niche plot in romance fiction wherein our invariably heterosexual leads fall in love after a night of passion leads to an unplanned pregnancy and they're now bound together by an impending child. I cast no judgment on anyone who enjoys this, but since I'm an evil gay and this is my personal nightmare scenario I want to see a zany romance novel premised on the opposite resolution: a couple falls in love while on a whirlwind roadtrip to obtain a legal abortion

yoooo guys these wings my dad made look INSANE i can’t wait to try them tomorrow

something there’s a distinct lack of in batman fanfics, especially ‘brucie wayne’ centred ones is the networking he’d have to be doing on the daily to maintain that sorta reputation

like, we all know the man knows how to throw a gala but where are the brunches? the happy hour gossip session with his cover’s clique of the week? the golf club dinners he has to attend every third week of the month? what about visits to hospitals or schools or the soup kitchens for his philanthropy? come on now

you’re telling me he’s the most sought after celebrity in gotham city and beyond, an infamous playboy and supposed extroverted people person who can use long holidays that can last weeks at a time away in tropical islands supposedly partying it up as a plausible excuse to hide his injuries sometimes but when he’s in gotham he’s either at wayne enterprise meetings or tucked away at home alone? nah

i want to see bruce having to really utilise those meditation breathing skills he learned in the league while he’s having to sit upright in a chair with 4 broken ribs, a sprained wrist and a minor concussion in a painfully bright restaurant at 3pm on a wednesday having to listen to bethany-anne titter on about the latest gossip about her neighbours affair with the maid that’s basically an open secret by now like pls there’s so many different routes you can go with this depending on the genre,,, make bruce have to REALLY commit to that cover of his lmao

The exact opposite of being doomed by the narrative

I discovered this game while playing with a group of friends on Halloween, and I must say it was quiet immersive because we each wanted different things so we always had to argue together on what to do before the Voices would Took 3 days to complete a single run

Duke, who is tired of being bullied for still having only a few spots checked off on vigilante bingo, decides to get even when family game night includes Never Have I Ever. Danny, who is either a friend or basically adopted family at this point, was invited.

He brings up the fact that he has never died and been brought back to life. Multiple fingers are put down, groans and complaints are made, and then they all turn to Danny when he just stares at the ground.

"If it happened more than once, do I put more fingers down? Or just the one?" he asks. The room falls silent for a few seconds before the flood of questions start.
