#himbo bruce au you have so much potential

[angstandhappiness]

LMAO YES YES YES

i need a himbo bruce au where he never became batman, his kids however, they are all vigilantes and try their best to keep it a secret from their father - how they become vigilantes? who knows, maybe they took up mentorships with other heroes or villains. still, their morals kept them on the 'good' side of the law as best as it could - but bruce while being incredibly intelligent and likely a doctor (because i imagine he would finish med school in this au) doesn't realize how odd it is that his kids disappear in the night and have a plethora of wounds he tends to almost daily.

oh well, to him they're just crazy kids and definitely not a modge-podge of ex-assassins and bird themed vigilantes.

idk if i’m actually going to attempt to participate but i still want to make a little list of Tober/Tember prompts and ideas of what to do with them. also tagging @f-ro-g bc New Pack. Every time i do one of these i start forgetting every media i’ve ever consumed so we’re going to see if i can at least get more than like three different fandoms on here. Might or might not come back through and flesh these out with actual details later on.

Whumptober Ideas

1) All Trussed Up and Nowhere to Go/”You have to let go”/Barbed Wire/Bound - Hadestown, full stop. The whole prompt is Hadestown. It’s in the lyrics, even. It is this post that makes me finally notice the “Keep on walking and don’t look back” line in Wait For Me and i’m so angry right now

2) Talking is Overrated/Garotte/Choking/Gagged - I’m thinking a rewrite of my first Three Musketeers fic just because it was funny the first time around and also wouldn’t take much Effort. Next.

3) Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, But.../Taunting/Insults/”Who did this to you?���

The Bradmadge Brawl of S2E1 but with passion and malice next question

4) Trust Fall/”Do you trust me?”/Taken Hostage/Pushed

Nothing springs immediately to mind but i’m leaning toward Psych or The New Pack

5) Red In My Ledger/Betrayal/Misunderstanding/Broken Nose

*slams hand on table* New Pack. Mordaunt. It writes itself.

6) Touch and Go/Bruises/Touch-Starved/Hunger

On-Drakon we’re going to give Arman and Mira some love even if only two people on this website even know them.

7) My Spidey-Sense is Tingling/Helplessness/Numbness/Blindness

TASM just for the sake of it? Undecided

8) Coughing Up a Lung/Pneumothorax/Exotic Illness/”Definitely Just a Cold”

Ben Tallmadge and the Delaware Dive next question

9) Rumors of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated/Presumed Dead/Blind Rage/Tears

Bucky it’s your turn babe

10) Oops, I Did It Again/Hospital/Flare-Up/Ice Chips

Ben you’re going back in the Delaware it’ll be so funny

11) Just Keep Swimming/Adrift/Drowning/Dehydration

Personally i think having a third Ben vs. Water fic would be the funniest possible move but Grimaud or Mordaunt could also work here

12) It’ll Be Fun, They Said/Torture/Made to Watch/Begging

Jean-Olivier comes to mind but hmmmmm there was also that one TURN S3 au that could work

13) That’s Gonna  Leave a Mark/This Is Gonna Suck/Burns/Cauterization

Hmmmmmm OH! OH! Raoul! The New Pack. Done.

14) Under Pressure/Crush Injuries/Beaten/Force

It says Force and Force is Star Wars so naturally this is Mando’s number.

15) Feed a Cold, Starve a Fever/Delirium/Fever Dream/Bees

Ben Tallmadge guess what....

16) On a Need-to-Know Basis/Recovery/Scars/Aftermath

I’m thinking the Psych Not-Ghost AU would work here but there are certainly other options.

17) Field-Care 101/”Please don’t move!”/Hemorrhage/Dread

Might go with something Leverage right here just because i just watched Leverage. Nothing’s jumping immediately to mind. Warm Bodies could also work though.

18) The Doctor is In/”Now smile for the camera!”/Doctor’s visit/CPR

I’m thinking Reid just because Dr. and i’ve never been able to write Doctor Who so. What other Doctor characters are there. McStuffins isn’t in the running here. Oh! We could do something MCU, Bruce is a Doctor isn’t he? God can you imagine Dr. Hulk trying to

19) Just a Scratch/Bitten/Bleeding/Stabbing

Didn’t ... d’Artagnan once utter the phrase “it’s just a scratch” in relation to someth.....first episode, i think? Great so we have a winner, good job everybody.

20) Lost & Found/Trunk/Trapped underwater/Solitary Confinement

Weirdly Mando is the first character to come to mind. Someone beat me to 80% of my other idea but there’s potential.

21) That’s Where the Blood’s Supposed to Be/Bleeding Through Bandages/Pressure/Blood-Matted Hair

Let’s be real the only two options for this one are Bucky or Eliot and they’re virtually the same character so where does that leave me

22) They Made Me Do It/Cursed/Demon/Obsession

*vague wave* Merlin ?

23) You Break It, You Buy It/Auction/Ransom/Pursuit

That one 3M au with Athos and the big mix-up and the Oops and all the...stuff, yeah. That works.

24) One Down, Two to Go/Self-Induced Injuries to Escape/Flashback/Revenge

Holy sh- i didn’t see this one initially. I mean? Jean? Ow.

25) Hide & Seek/Escape/Flight/Hiding

Psych? Orrrrr....TGM?

26) You Will Go Down With This Ship/Fallen/Waterfall/Trap Door

I’m trying to think of literally anything i’ve ever read or watched that’s got a ship in it ummmmmmm hey what if we interpret “ship” as yeaaaah let’s do another Mando one that’ll work

27) “I’m Fine, I Prom...”/Passing Out/Vertigo/Collapse

I mean..... .... ... is there a character this doesn’t work for though? Wait. No actually let’s do Childermass since he gets that what is it an allergic reaction to magic? I mean i know Segundus gets like that to so....ha let’s make it be Both of them.

28) It’s Not Just In Your Head/”Good, you’re finally awake”/Nightmares/Panic

First thought is New Pack but it might take some pondering.

29) All Work and No Play/”You’re still not dead?”/Too weak to move/overworked

it’s like Civil War but with Bucky and Jean-Olivier having an all-out brawl good lord it’s an either/or situation.

30) Digging Your Grave/Major Character Death/Left For Dead/Ghosts

*shot of choc milk* the exact TURN AU i was Just thinking about yesterday,,,

31) Hurt & Comfort/Disaster Zone/Trauma/Prisoner

I feel like i need to put Gwynplaine here just because he hasn’t had a turn yet

Alt. Prompts

1) Losing Control

Arman. Very obviously extramuch Arman definitely. Let’s have another one with the involuntary dragon himbo.

2) Threats

*chin hands* trying to think of a character who gets threatened a lot. will circle back. I’m actually thinking Psych again but idk.

3) Caning

Ro we’ve genuinely discussed about 16 different variations on this one i think it’s Time

4) Mercy

MORDAUNT MORDAUNT NEXT QUESTION

5) Forgotten

Is it time for Jack Frost of all people to make an appearance or is this just Bucky again

6) Head Injury

It would be real easy to just put the headbonk au here but i’m going to try to show some restraint and do a different headbonk story

7) Screaming

Going to assign Gwynplaine here just because he really has been neglected in this lineup and also it would probably be good for him to vent a little bit in this manner

8) Comfort

Someone’s going to get petted like a cat and i just haven’t decided whomst but when i do it’s over for everybody

9) Self-Sacrifice

What do i even say to that i Feels like another New Pack but it’s still up for grabs tbh

10) Trapped

Tempted to pour one out and just say Bucky but idk idk we’ll think of something this is very much a first draft stream of thought general idea planning session

11) Near Death Experience

It would be hilarious to just put something like Meet Joe Black for this one but WAIT NO NO GO BACK ACTUALLY WARM BODIES LET’S DO WARM BODIES

12) Regret

It’s gotta either be Psych or TURN

13) Tragedy

My first thought is to do a damn Hannibal fic without ever having actually watched the show just because i’m still angry about how i read it ended but considering that i only know the characters’ voices from tumblr chatposts i feel like that’s not the best venue to

heck we might just do New Pack

14) Battlefield

Either TURN or New Pack or....the song’s a little bit dramatic for a Bucky but actually....unless? no....but Maybe,

15) Anxiety

Every character i’ve ever cared about could potentially fit right here so :/ Arman could have 3rd ficlet but again, literally every character, i,,,,,they’ve all got anxiety X’D

[regrettablewritings]

(@locke-writes once again gonna put all the responses in one so as not to spam ya)

Clyde Logan Ship Meme: I cannot help it: Clyde is an adorable man, all things considered. Thusly, he deserves cute, wholesome content! (Also, if you were to smile at Clyde, he would 100% blush but offer a crooked smile back. Which would only make you smile harder. Which leaves him looking away because he’s blushing too hard.)

Diana Prince Ship Meme: Oh thank god this one came out okay 😩 Explaining the profound concept of soulmates is difficult to do in writing. At least, it is for me. I know I don’t exactly help it by writing Soulmate AUs and all but technically speaking, soulmates really do transcend beyond just the romantic context we typically associate them with. Diana just seems the type to understand this, given her years of wisdom and experience as well as growing up in a society that’s honestly more or less more aware than we typically tend to be. Also, fun fact: The entire while I was writing this, I kept thinking about Maz Kanata’s quote on how after living for so long, you start to see the same eyes in different people. Likewise, I feel Diana would have a similar understanding going on while still recognizing each individual as a new situation.

Steve Harrington Ship Meme: Steve 👏🏽  “The Hair” 👏🏽 Harrington 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 himbo 👏🏽 and 👏🏽 we’re 👏🏽 gonna 👏🏽 talk 👏🏽 about it 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽  👏🏽 In all seriousness, though, it felt great writing for this goofus; I know I started watching the show thinking he was an unappealing asshole, but I take it back, Stevie, baby, you’re just plain perfect! I’d only written for him once before, so I'm just glad I could not only write him decently after all this time, but have fun representing his canon himbo status!

Poe Dameron Ship Meme: Listen: Poe Dameron is cool and all, but I really think we don’t focus enough on how much of a sentimental goof ball he really is. He’s not necessarily the smoothest flirter when he’s in deep, but he really does approach everything with this passionate yet potentially lax feeling that still comes off as romantic and attractive as fuck. So I will die on the hill called “Poe Dameron Uses His Horoscope To Acquire Physical Affection”. It’s a very spot-on name for a small incline, but I’m very passionate about it.

Benoit Blanc Ship Meme: Everybody else: *is either writing Knives Out fics about Ransom, or has moved on* Me: wHo wAntS tO hEaR aBoUt wHaT I tHiNk Is BeNoIt BlAnC’s FaVoRiTe CaNdY bAr?!?! Seriously, though, Benoit’s so fun to write for, where did all the love for him go?? I mean, I know it’s probably just dormant because we now have to wait a year or two before we get a sequel but come on, you guys, I’m out here embarrassing myself on my own writing for this flamboyant fool and outright outting myself for having a thing for dilfy characters!

Bruce Wayne Ship Meme: I don’t judge about the dilfy mood. I mean, haven’t you noticed a trend in some of the characters I write for?

But all in all, the one response that these all have in common is

THANK YOOOUUUU!!!

I have no idea how to begin to even properly express how flattered and happy this all makes me!! You’re being way too kind, Noah!!! 😭 😭 😭 😭

[violent138]

Aw hell, that reminds me, the kids would probably bend over backward trying to talk B out of dating their rogues.

Like Jason probably had a stroke once when he dropped by unexpectedly and Harvey Dent and Bruce were having a dinner date.

Or Dick grimacing in full view of the press when Bruce loudly declares he loves Poison Ivy, who's just beaming at him, both of them glued together at a gala.

Or Damian desperately trying to convince everyone that Bruce's newest squeeze is Clayface in disguise, and everyone being sort of sympathetic about his shock that Talia and Bruce are not going to be a thing again.

Alternatively,

Roy calls Dick to tell him flatly that Oliver and Bruce cannot keep dating without Bruce figuring out his secret identity and Dick reminds him that Bruce hasn't even figured it out about the kids yet.

Bruce has a weird love shape going with Clark Kent and Superman, both of whom keep messing up and Bruce doesn't even notice.

i need a himbo bruce au where he never became batman, his kids however, they are all vigilantes and try their best to keep it a secret from their father - how they become vigilantes? who knows, maybe they took up mentorships with other heroes or villains. still, their morals kept them on the 'good' side of the law as best as it could - but bruce while being incredibly intelligent and likely a doctor (because i imagine he would finish med school in this au) doesn't realize how odd it is that his kids disappear in the night and have a plethora of wounds he tends to almost daily.

oh well, to him they're just crazy kids and definitely not a modge-podge of ex-assassins and bird themed vigilantes.
