#canon fanfic events

since DC has multiple earths and timelines everyone just has their own different dc earth as how they see everything. like you can really just choose what things happened from whatever comics and mix match what earth they are originally from.

like you dont like that one event from the canon timeline? then it didn't happen on your earth.

you like these events that happened in other Earth/timeline whatever comics? then they happened.

So instead of DC standing for disregard canon it actually means decided [your own] canon

An Inu-Spiration Tanabata Bang Collaboration with Dawnrider

It was my absolute privilege to be paired with @dawnrider for this bang. We've known each other for a while, and I adore her writing. I just know you're going to love her story - it has all the things I cherish in an Inuyasha canon setting that make me kick my heels in glee while I'm reading. Please leave her some love in the comments when you reblog!

Once you've read Dawnrider's story, this art will make more sense. I wanted to convey the feeling that Inuyasha and Kagome got caught up in something much bigger than themselves, and it meant that my art started out on a regular sized canvas and then got dragged into panoramic proportions when I realised it wasn't conveying the feeling the story evoked for me.

This one took a while for me to do, and me dragging my feet had absolutely nothing to do with Dawn's amazing work - my life at the moment is just full of Too Many Things. But there's nothing like an ADHD panic fest at the last minute to make you produce something - I'm just lucky I live on the arse end of the Earth and it gives me an extra 11 hours or so, otherwise I absolutely would have been marked down for handing in my assignment in a tardy fashion...

Anyway, I hope you like it! Can't wait to see all the lovely art and fiction crossing our dash for this event!

Jake curses as he jumps out of view, the harsh strike of lightning shining down on where your body lay limp, your hand peeking behind the giant sign. Today was supposed to be good, after revealing his secret identity to you, he wanted to show you his power, explore the city with the gifts he was bestowed.

He pushed the sign away, pulling his mask of his head, his legs shakily moving to you. Another strike of lightning illuminates you again, like the universe is proudly showing off his punishment. He gasps deeply, cupping his lips running to your side. He held your twitching figure to his chest, "y/n, angel." He sobs, why did it have be tonight, why did he choose tonight to wreak havoc.

He pulls you in desperately kissing your lips, "Please wake up angel, please for me." his voice cracks. With the last of your strength, your hand next to his thigh gently squeezes, your lips parting slightly, "I love you Jaeyun." He looks up at you, nodding quickly, "I love you too, I do, I really do." his tears run down repeatedly, your eyes welling up with your own.

Your head tilts away, a stray tear leaving your eyes as they close. "Y/n, please no, no." He murmurs into your skin, the first drops of rain falling on the both of you. It's heavy, masking the tears of the city's hero.

I'm not a good writer, but i hope u get the idea uh...

this may be a hot take but i liked the ending!

its kinda hard to rush an ending like this in three chapters, so its not the best. and i feel like theres some character choices here that could be different. but thats okay!

the narrative foil of deku completing one for all and then it fading away after its goal was complete, i understand that. the strive to look forward and how change in society starts on a community level is really the most important message, i think. you can't depend on figureheads for everything, and change and equality in society is something that needs to be constantly worked on. its not something that happens over night. you can't just expect one punch to the villain to defeat it, and the world goes back to normal or even gets better. no, after stuff like this, you need to have a giant reconstruction period. this i understand!

again, kind of hard to portray it in three chapters, but the seeds for it are there. this will be a lot of fun to play with in fanfic, i think

the ending in particular really reminds me of the japanese poem Be not Defeated by the Rain that Horikoshi-sensei said that Deku's character is based off of. I can appreciate that!

I'm rotating Kabru in my head again for the fanfic I'm slowly piecing the plot of together, and, just,

Imagine having a purpose. Imagine being a child and watching everyone you love, and hate, and know die, leaving nothing but grotesque pictures etched forever into your memory behind. Imagine waking up days and days and days after from the nightmares that can't outmatch the terror that you experienced, and thinking: it must never happen again.

Imagine fighting for it. Imagine going through years of grueling training that leaves you weak and aching, and months of what you're still horrifyingly unprepared for, and thinking: if only I was strong enough. If only I am strong enough, I can change something this time. I would have saved them. I will save the others this fate. I have to. I need to. It must never happen again.

Imagine dying. Paying for your dream, you destiny, the singular purpose of your survival with the blood splattered on the dungeon floor, the blood glistening on the claws and spikes and furs and feathers and beaks and fangs.

(They are all dead; there must be a reason why you're still alive. You must find this reason, make this reason, grow your future from the ruins you come from, make sure it never happens again and it doesn't matter how many times you die in the process. You were supposed to die years back. You're ready to give up your life now. You just need it to matter.)

Imagine succeeding. By a turn of luck so miraculous you can barely believe it, waking up to the new dawn of a new world, the one where it can never happen again. Where you've won and survived, and are still alive. Where everyone you once knew are still dead. Where your body is still too thin from too many deaths.

Imagine having a purpose that drives you through every obstacle, and then finding yourself in a world where it's done and over with, and you have to learn to be something more than the careful narrative you have crafted.

Gregory's fingers curled in the blanket as he called out to the boy he'd considered a bully. He didn't understand. Looking now, he could see the toll everything had taken on Michael.

The emotional breakdown from earlier had to be Gregory's fault, surely. Everything from today was his fault. He'd hit Michael to begin with, but the words coming out of his mouth...

If Michael really was implying that he was Glamrock Freddy, returned to the past simply to continue protecting Gregory, then what happened to his new friend's brother?

Frustrated tears built in Gregory's eyes. Why was everything falling apart so quickly? Why was it so painful? Gregory just wanted to survive.

"No," Michael mumbled. His body stiffened beneath the blanket. "No. No."

"Uhm." Gregory stumbled away from the bed.

"He... he can't be..." Michael curled into a ball beneath the blanket. "It was a prank. It was meant to be a stupid prank... BRING HIM BACK!"

Oh. He was having a nightmare. "Mike?" Gregory said tentatively. He inched closed to the bed again.

It definitely wasn't Freddy possessing Michael. It couldn't be. Whatever was going on, it seemed like a recurring thing for Mike. Maybe that was why he didn't want to sleep. Maybe it was why he changed. Gregory's shoulders relaxed minutely.

"Mike, I think you're having a nightmare-" Gregory cut himself off abruptly when Michael grabbed his wrist.

"Gregory," Michael murmured. He seemed to relax a little bit then. Not much, but at least he wasn't screaming anymore.

Gregory's mouth dried out. He didn't know what to do from here. It was weird, being in the position to comfort someone else again. It was weird, being the source of comfort for someone he'd punched in the face a few days ago.

Michael was strangely affectionate. Gregory wouldn't have guessed, based on how his younger brother reacted to it. The joyous tears that had fallen from his eyes had been worth the discomfort Gregory felt each time Michael hugged them though.

Michael was mumbling his name again. "I'm here," Gregory whispered.

Michael's grip got tighter. "I can't... lose... you..."

Tears filled Gregory's eyes so quickly that he couldn't blink them away. "You won't. I can take care of myself."

"Promise..." Michael turned his head, mumbling into the pillow.

Gregory took that as his cue to leave. He really should've left sooner, actually.

With intense care, as to not upset or wake Michael, Gregory peeled Michael's fingers off his wrist. He then quietly tip-toed out of the room.

This whole ball-pit thing was getting weirder by the minute.

You cannot put this all on me. Your page literally implied it. ALSO:

Reading domestic avengers fics w Clint in the vents and Thor eating poptarts is a canon event for all marvel fans

[fangirlism-for-life]

I wanna know how Aren would like canonically react to gay ppl, like i dont think hed be homophobic, but i think itd be interesting asf.

Like i feel like nobody rlly takes how he sees romance into consideration. Like when he recieved the 'love letter' in that one ep he got all serious talking abt how he had to basically be a good traditional husband. Put his life on the line to protect her, and remain loyal to her.

So i think if he was willing to change the way he lived his life before, that itd be interesting to see him learn more abt sexuality and find out if hes also queer.

Omfg can someone write something like this? It'd be like super cool!

I don't want his character to stray too much from how he is, so like no matter his sexuality, he's still super serious abt relationships canonically.

Something I think about sometimes is that I can't be fully honest when someone asks me what my favorite book is, because its an AU fanfic about characters from the dream smp in the setting of an interstellar world and society ruled by a very powerful dictatorial nationalist empire which exploits the native species of different planets for their own gain written in 86'083 words devided between 3 chapters, and that's apparently not the answer people are looking for :(

It's called Ad Astra and it was written by Hellenite on Ao3. I read it like 2021 and have not been able to stop thinking about it since

THAT'S the level of world building and characterisation that I strive for

[rafesbbyy]

I genuinely love all and every Rafe fic I read and I swear everyone in this fandom is so freaking talented, but sometimes I wish there were Rafe fics that were more show accurate. I wanna read fics that have canon show events and characterization and stuff—I love reading the ones where Cameron family is depicted as close and happy but we all know in canon, they're anything but. The canon to me is also just so much more interesting and I just wanna explore those dynamics and obx fandom writers are so goddamn skilled.

[evenfallwriter]

joining @aftgtandn 's Adopt-a Work with a moodboard for one of the fics that has been living rent free in my mind ever since it has been revealed. i just can't stop thinking about how beautifully it was written, have no idea how many times i've went back to reread it again and again. TT

Are You Real? || Neil Josten/Andrew Minyard || 6052 words

Don’t , Andrew said. It didn’t resonate as a “ don’t run away ”, but it rang as a “ don’t hide ”. Don’t hide because I’m seeing you, don’t hide because everyone is seeing you . Neil’s horror and panic would have clobbered his bones if it weren’t for Andrew’s implications. The reiteration of his promise; Don’t hide because I promised to protect you.

I just need to read one fic in which people actually apologize to Dick. Somehow it's only Bruce that I've seen giving a genuine apology in fanfics and that feels wrong (but also, props to B for that).

Everytime a member of the family is mad at him for a misunderstanding or something he didn't even do, after they find out the truth, they just don't apologize.

It's always Dick apologizing and then everything being okay because 'Hey! We felt hurt first even though it wasn't really your fault, but it's only fair we get away with this now that we started treating you well!' and Dick just... Accepts it. Because of course he will, right? Can't push it, who knows how long it'll last.

They're all being nice to him now, he should be grateful they're attempting to reciprocate his kindness! Look at them hugging when just a few hours prior they were making Dick feel like shit about himself, aren't they lovely?

And listen, I'm all here for Dick acknowledging his mistakes and apologizing for anything he might've done wrong in the fic, but would it hurt for Dick to receive those apologies instead? Why is he always the first one to say sorry? Why can't the others take the initiative for once?

Anyhow, I better end the ramble there.

Point is, Dick deserves apologies. Hugs won't cut it forever.

Twist and shout playing on loop because the speakers short circuited at the diner I work in WHILE I'M MAKING MILKSHAKES. I am not recovering from that any time soon.
