Part Seventeen: Crawling Back to You

“When my time comes around

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

No grave can hold my body down

I'll crawl home to her” -Work Song, Hozier

You woke up in what looked like a hospital room. Only it wasn’t a hospital room, you were in a room off the batcave. Your thigh had been stitched up, no doubt Alfred’s handy work. You heard voices outside and quickly closed your eyes, pretending like you were still asleep.

“I’m so worried about her,” Rachel says.

“I know, I don’t know what we can do,” Gar says.

“We have to tell her, she needs to know,” Rachel says.

“I know but Dick wants to figure out if that’s really even him,” Gar says.

“You saw the guy,” Rachel says.

“I know but she doesn’t need to get her heartbroken all over again,” Gar says.

“If we don’t tell her and that really is Jason she’ll never forgive us,” Rachel says.

“She’ll come around,” Gar says. “And she’ll thank us for waiting to tell her if it’s not him,” he adds. You hear the door close and a sigh. Gar left so now it’s just you and Rachel.

“What about Jason?” you say opening your eyes.

“Shit,” she says as she walks to your side. “How much of that did you hear?” She asks.

“All of it, what’s going on Rachel?” You ask.

“Dick told us not to tell you, not till we know for sure,” she says.

“What the hell happened,” you say as you rip your iv out of your arm.

“Y/N!” Rachel says. You jump out of bed dispite the pain that shoots through your leg. “You need to lie back down,” she urges.

“I need to find out what new secret Dick is keeping from me,” you say as you open the door. What you see is odd, Alfred, Kori, and Gar are all standing in the batcave outside the medical room in silence. Dick and Bruce are nowhere to be found. “What’s going on?” You demand. All that you’re meant with are sorrowful blank stares.

“Y/N,” Alfred says calmly. “Your still injured you should-“

“No!” You interrupt him. “Don’t tell me I need to lie down I need to know what about Jason you’re not telling me!” Everyone goes quiet again. You try to walk towards the elevator when everyone moves in your way. “Seriously!” You say angrily. You try to push past them when Kori grabs you.

“It’s okay, it’s okay Y/N,” she says calmly.

“What’s going on!” You yell. “Where the fuck is Dick!” She puts you down and nobody moves out of the way to the elevator. “What’s going on and what’s it got to do with Jason!” You yell “what’s it go to do with Jason,” you yell again this time as tears escape your eyes.

“Come on dear,” Alfred says as he brings you back to the medical room. You figured Alfred stepped up cause he was sure you wouldn’t try to fight him.

Once you’re back in the medical room as Alfred puts your iv back in you ask again, “where is Dick.”

“He’s just sorting some things out outside, he’ll explain everything soon,” he says.

“What’s it got to do with Jason,” you ask again. Alfred walks over to the door and leaves closing it behind him quickly. You try the handle but it’s locked. “Alfred! What’s it got to do with Jason!”

“I’m sorry Y/N,” Alfred says through the door. “But it’s for your own good.”

Like hell it is you thought as you ripped the iv out once more. Dick is outside, you need to get outside and see what the hell is going on and what it has to do with Jason. You stand on the bed and undo the screws to the vent as quietly as possible. Still in your dirty bloody clothes you climb into the vent trying to not undo the stitches on your thigh. You try your best to navigate your way through the vents and eventually you see the wooden floor of upstairs. You drop down into the kitchen and a shooting pain travels through your leg. You hurry outside and see two figures by Jason’s grave, digging. You run but your leg slows you down. The closer you get the more you can make out that it’s Bruce and Dick. They’re digging up Jason’s coffin.

“Shit,” Dick says as he sees you approaching them.

“Say what you want, that girl is resourceful,” Bruce jokes knowing you escaped a locked room in the batcave under Alfred and the titans watch.

“What the fucks going on,” you say, practically in tears. They’ve almost unburied it, almost unburied him.

“Y/N you need to go back inside,” Dick starts to say.

“What are you doing,” you cry as you look in horror at the coffin no longer covered in dirt.

“Come on I’ll take you inside,” Dick says softly as he drops his shovel. Bruce is quiet, he just keeps glancing at the pool house in the backyard.

Dick tries to grab your arm but you slip away. Bruce once again glances at the pool house. “Why are you digging him up!” You shout as tears stream down your face. “You said Jason’s name earlier! When you came to get me…you said his name when you looked at Red Hood, why? Why Dick!”

“Just come inside I’ll explain everything, I promise,” Dick says. You remember the countless promises Dick has broken. Everyone including Rachel is hiding something for Dick. The one person you truly trusted’s grave was being defiled. You notice Bruce glance at the pool house again and you start running towards it. Your leg is killing you but adrenaline allows you to fly to the backyard. Both Dick and Bruce chase after you which only encourages you to get the pool house faster and find whatever they’re hiding. “Y/N!” Dick shouts. You keep running. You get to the pool house and rip the door open knowing Dick is only a couple seconds behind you.

You can’t believe your eyes. Lying on the ground handcuffed to a curtain rod in the Red Hood suit minus the mask is Jason. Your Jason.

“Jason,” you say almost quietly as you run to him. You’ve never been so confused in your life. You kissed his corpse then saw him get buried. You’d held his bloody corpse in your arms. Now here he was before you, eyes slowly opening, chest moving up and down as he breathed. “Jason,” you say again confused. You kneel beside his body and lightly brush the hair out of his face. You notice he’s got the white streak of hair but the “J” that was craved onto his face has healed. For a split second he leans into your touch on his face then he pulls his head away almost violently. He pulls at his hand that’s cuffed to the curtain rod trying to break free. “It’s okay…” you say as you put your hand on his. He stops pulling and looks in your eyes. His green eyes look back at you; the same eyes you’ve looked in so many times before.

“Y/N,” he says. You smile for a moment then Dick runs inside.

“Shit,” he says. Bruce comes running in after him. Jason begins violently tugging on the cuffs again. You sit in front of him on the floor, protecting him, against what, you weren’t sure yet. When you put your hands out to block Jason he stops tugging on the cuffs you notice. It’s a minute before anyone speaks. You’re filled with confusion and sadness but mostly rage.

“What the fuck is going on,” you say angrily. Dick just looks at you then looks at Jason, and back at you and back at Jason. His eyes say that he doesn’t know what to do.

“The Lazarus pit,” Bruce finally says. Dick turns to look at him. “It’s no use hiding it now,” he says to Dick.

“Hiding it?” You ask. “You two used the pit on Jason? And didn’t tell me?”

“It wasn’t us,” Dick says quickly.

“Then who the fuck was it!” You demand.

“Talia,” Jason groans. You quickly turn to look at him. “Ra’s and Talia,” he says. Jason’s unhand-cuffed hand slowly slides over to find yours. He softly strokes your hand.

Dick noticed this and steps forward, “Y/N he could be dangerous,” he says.

“Dangerous?” You say in outrage. “Look at him Dick,” you say with tear filled eyes.

“We don’t know that’s really Jason, it’s why we’re digging the coffin up,” Dick says.

“You can see him clear as day. Bruce is this not the kid you took in? Not your brother Dick?” You say.

“The Lazarus pit can make people go mad plus there’s been cases of people making human faces and wearing them before. Gothams a crazy place we have to be sure,” Bruce says.

“So run a fucking DNA test,” you say.

“We’re doing that too,” Dick interjects.

“Yeah so you run a DNA test and check the coffin, you don’t cuff him to a wall unconscious and lie to me! You fucking lied to me Dick! Again!” You yell. Jason moves his hands again to your wrist, like he’s reaching for you.

“Y/N seriously he could hurt you,” Dick says.

“Hurt me,” you say. “Really Dick he can barely move. Give me the key.”

“What?” Bruce says.

“The key…to the handcuffs give it to me,” you say.

“Absolutely not,” Dick says.

“You wanna lock him somewhere lock him in a fucking medical room you asshole. He’s back from the dead and you hit him, he needs medical attention. Seriously Bruce I’ve seen you treat criminals better,” you say.

“He’s killed people Y/N, you do know that don’t you,” Bruce says.

“Yes and although I’m just overcome by grief over dealers selling to children I’m a little more concerned about Jason,” you say. Dick and Bruce exchange looks.

“Fine but back up incase he tries anything,” Dick says as he grabs the key from his pocket. You get up and as Jason’s half limp hand falls from yours your heart breaks a little bit. Dick kneels down and undoes the cuff from the curtain rod. Swiftly he puts both Jason’s hands in the cuffs behind his back. You see Jason struggling to stand and try to help him as best you can.

“One rule…” Bruce says. “I have one rule I ask to not be broken.”

“Unless you want me to be the next to break the rule I suggest you get out of the way,” you snap. Bruce steps aside. Although Jason’s out of it and not in the best situation, at least he’s gotten back to you.

Hey hopefully you don’t hate me too much after the villainy that was going on in this part lol. I was inspired by the line it’s something like “you never hit joker that hard” or something like that yeah but in my opinion and from the lore I know Bruce did NOT treat Jason good after he was resurrected so I guess this is my take on that. Also it’s fanfic so if it’s not perfect it’s okay🤓💀 Anyways I’m gonna post some more parts of this fic and then post the backstory for this fic. Remember to check out my Masterlist for the other parts and if your interested in any of these characters x readers, Anakin Skywalker, Dick Grayson, Peter Hayes, Christian Ozera, there’s fics for them x reader as well.

Chapter 2

He had been successful.

Eren.

Eren had successfully infiltrated the Marley empire, passing off as a wounded soldier from their last encounter with another foreign country. It seemed the Marleyans had been busy warring with everyone all over the world.

Currently, he was in Liberio, where Marley kept the rest of the Eldians who were injured. It was his turn to be nursed and have his wounds dressed.

He said nothing as two nurses checked over his injuries, one searching his body for wounds, the other documenting the severity of each. He had put little effort into ensuring they did not heal, having gouged out his own eye and severed one of his legs from the knee down. Attacking would have proven difficult once upon a time, back when he had trouble changing into his Titan form, but now? Now this was as easy as breathing.

“Mr. Kruger, are you with us?” one of the nurses asked.

His eyes shifted in her direction, blinking slowly, yet he said nothing. He just sat there and observed, as he was meant to.

Knowing what he now knew, knowing what needs to be done in order for life in Paradis to be sustainable and have a real future, Eren had a role to play: helpless soldier, mentally traumatized with PTSD, body damaged beyond repair—another useless Marleyan. It was all part of his plan. Hell, he was already a rogue, abandoning his family friends and fellow comrades in Paradis. He could just picture Levi stewing at his insubordination, Mikasa worrying, Armin endlessly babbling trying to come up with a logical reason for all this… he could picture all of them and how they would react to him leaving, clear as day. He knew them all well, after all.

They were his family.

Eren could no longer focus on that now, though. He had a job to do. One that would shake the world as they knew it. One that no one could possibly understand. A hard job, but someone had to do it.

Me. I’m that someone, he reminded himself.

“Sir?” The same nurse, the one with red hair, attempted to gain his attention again. “Sir, can you hear me?”

“Forget it, Patsy, he’s a mute,” the other nurse commented, clearly not as patient as her partner.

“Doesn’t mean he can’t hear you, Ingrid,” Patsy hissed. “Probably trauma, poor guy.”

“Yeah, yeah, just give him over to her so we can move on to the next.”

Her?

Patsy sighed, still feeling bad for the disfigured soldier before her.

“Mr. Kruger, we have a healer who will tend to your wounds. Hopefully, that’ll speed up the process, and you won’t be in so much pain after a while.”

Kind. Foolish. he thought, remaining silent.

With a sigh, she turned slightly. “Come. He’s ready.”

Eren’s eyes shifted slightly, just enough for him to follow where the nurse gazed, to whom she spoke. He hadn’t even seen the young woman sitting in the dark corner.

“I’ll leave you to it.”

For a while, there was no sound other than the nurses departing, their heels clapping against the stone floor and the door opening and shutting behind them.

“You’re different. You’re not like the others, I can tell.”

Though he still said nothing, she continued as if she knew he wondered how she could tell.

“I can feel it. You’re from one of the other nations, aren’t you?”

Neither are you, he thought as she finally stood directly in front of the bed he was seated upon. It was then Eren got a really good look at her.

She was striking. She looked to be about his age—healthy, well, healthy for the most part, which was a shock seeing how they treated the Eldians. Her eyes looked tired, as if all her energy had been spent, yet she tried to conceal it—from the other staff or from the patients, he wasn’t sure. Yet there was an aura about her that was both inviting and mysterious; he could almost feel it drawing him in.

Then there was her skin.

He’d only seen skin that color once, and that was on Onyakapon.

As she stood under the beaming lights used to examine him, he immediately took notice of how her brown skin radiated and glowed under the warm light, exuding a sense of richness and beauty that left him momentarily breathless. Her features were elegant, yet there was a distinct strength in her presence.

His eyes traveled to her hair, which was styled in a neat bun atop her head. It reminded him of the way Christa wore her hair, except higher. The curls and coils poking out, thick and textured, framed her face beautifully, showcasing her natural beauty.

He’d never seen anyone like her before.

“You’re perceptive,” Eren finally responded, earning a faint smirk from the young woman before him.

“When you’ve been here as long as I have…” she trailed off with a shrug as she began to undo some of the dressings on his wounds, presumably given to him once they found him on the battlefield. Some were sticking to his skin, holding on due to the dry blood that had caked around each wound.

“Surprised they trust me here with you alone,” he spoke after he beat his voice, still low, barely above a whisper.

“They know I won’t run.” It was then he noticed the chain around her ankle. “Surprised you can talk.”

Here against her will then, noted.

Eren hummed in response as he continued to watch her reach for the small square-like device on the table beside him. As she began to turn the knob, he could hear a faint clicking with each twist. It reminded him of the way the gears sounded when they would open the gate in Paradis.

“What’s that?”

“It’s a timer,” came the simple answer.

“Its purpose?” She frowned a bit at this question, wondering how he didn’t know what the small device in her hand was, but made no comment. Instead, she answered.

“It keeps track of the time for me while I work. I can only heal each afflicted area for one minute before I have to move on to the next. It’s their way of keeping me from exerting all my energy on one patient.”

“Heal?”

This time she didn’t answer, only slowly began sticking out her hand, hovering it above the cut next to his right eyebrow. She felt a sudden grip on her wrist—it wasn’t too tight but enough to hold her in place and keep her from advancing. Eren hadn’t even realized he did it. It was more or less a reflex.

She didn’t seem to mind, however, giving him a gentle smile—one he noticed didn’t quite reach her eyes, as if she were saying, ‘It’s okay,’ and he slowly let her go.

Eren watched with a curious gaze; her hand felt warm, emitting a slight glow. It reminded him of the flash of light you’d see when the Titans shifted. After a few moments of silence, she removed her hand.

“There. Feel better?”

“Much,” he answered, unable to hide all the surprise in his voice. While the cut didn’t actually hurt at all, he knew what it felt like for his body to heal.

The difference was, it felt as if something had gone in and forced his body to repair broken blood vessels and grow new tissue, all while soothing the injured area. The sensation was cool, reminding him of a salve or balm.

Interesting.

She worked in comfortable silence, and Eren let her do so, uninterrupted—healing and then cleaning up the remaining spots of dried blood. After ten minutes or so, he heard her exhale, giving him a once-over before checking the sheet one of the nurses had left behind.

“Three more spots to go,” she announced.

“You been here long?” Eren asked, though he was pretty sure he already knew the answer.

“I’ve been here for as long as I can remember.”

“So forever, then?”

“No, not forever. I had a family once,” she shared while she worked, her movements calculated and smooth. “One that loved me. The island I lived on wasn’t perfect, but it was a happy place. I was…”

“You were what?” He encouraged her to continue.

“Free.”

Free.

Something Eren never felt he’d truly experience, not in this lifetime. A truth he’d never spoken aloud, as he didn’t think anyone else was aware of the invisible shackles that tied them to this world, the curse that had been placed on all Eldians. It was a bit bewildering to speak to another human who was self-aware of the hand dealt to them.

She was quiet after that, and Eren didn’t bother to strike up a conversation. This was his first day here, after all, and he still had loads of ground to cover as well as information to gather.

He was certain he found who he was looking for; now he had to be sure he could trust her. For now, though, he wouldn’t push her. He was sure this wouldn’t be the last time they saw each other.

“I’m afraid I can’t do much for your leg today. Those kinds of energies take a little bit more out of me when it comes to healing larger wounds. They’ve already put you on the list for that, though, so take a few more days.”

Confirmed.

“Hopefully, I was able to give you a bit of peace. The fatigue you feel is normal, so try not to feel too alarmed. Try to get some rest; it’ll help with the healing process.”

Eren gave a short nod as she discarded the bloodied towels and rags from tending to him.

“I’ll be seeing you, Mr. Kruger.”

“Thank you.” He uttered as she opened the door. Turning her head slightly he could see yet another faint smile on her face.

“You’re welcome.”

✨Non-bender Lin✨

inspired by this ask to @risingsoleil 😊 The idea is so interesting plus I got to incorporate some of my faves in it so yeah~

So this is my take on non-bender Lin :3

Korra gets her bending back because she’s the Avatar, but she can’t restore anyone else’s bending. So, Lin stays a nonbender.

In Book 2, Lin leaves the police force and goes to the South Pole to recover from PTSD, she has nightmares of Amon taking her bending, and hallucinations. Katara takes care of her during this time.

Lin also gets closer to Tenzin's kids during this period.

Jinora and Ikki feel bad for their Aunt Lin losing her bending while saving them, and they start hanging out with her more often.

They visit her during therapy sessions, bringing flowers and spending time with her their Gran Gran.

Meelo, being Meelo, calls her “Lady Hero” every chance he gets.

Meanwhile, Pema, already dealing with postpartum depression, starts worrying that Lin isn’t just getting closer to Tenzin but also to her family. She’s feeling insecure and suspects Lin is trying to take her place.

Tenzin and the kids reassure Pema that this isn’t the case. But still, Pema occasionally accuses Tenzin of seeing Lin, but the kids would back him up, saying, “No, Mom, we were with Aunt Lin, and Dad was at work.”

In Book 3, Lin is back on her feet and joins Team Avatar on their search for the New Airbenders. Asami, being the genius she is, comes up with a new tool for Lin:

Asami designs a maneuver gear (like Attack on Titan's ODM Gear) that mimics how metalbenders use cables for mobility. It allows Lin to navigate the battlefield as before, despite no longer having her bending.

Since Lin is still, and always will be an incredible fighter, She creates retractable blades (like in Assassin’s Creed) that Lin can use as a weapon since she refuses to use the electric gloves

As time passes, Pema starts to feel better, but her suspicions about Lin never completely fade. Now that Lin is playing a major role in saving the Air Nation and working closely with Tenzin, the lingering doubts continue to plague her. Eventually, Pema reaches her breaking point. Despite Tenzin’s constant reassurance and honesty, she realizes she can’t keep living with these doubts or stay in a marriage without fully trusting him. With a heavy heart, Pema decides to divorce him.

During their mission, Lin and Tenzin are working together again, but this time, Tenzin is 10,000x more protective of Lin. Why? Because she can’t bend anymore, and he’s constantly worried about her safety. However, he tries to hide it, knowing how upset Lin would be if she noticed. She doesn’t want pity or anyone treating her differently.

When the Red Lotus jumped on him, Tenzin came close to death, and in that moment, his life flashed before his eyes. He realized how much Lin had always been there for him, through everything (despite their past). When he was miraculously saved, the first person he saw was Lin approaching him. Overwhelmed with relief, he couldn’t help but reach out, trying to hold onto her, grateful that she was safe and sound.

By Book 4, Lin is looking even more badass with her upgraded gear. Asami added new features like bombs and improved blades, making Lin even more formidable. 

As for Tenzin and Lin’s relationship, it takes time for Lin to accept his feelings. She initially thinks he’s acting out of pity, guilt, or even because she's a second choice after Pema divorced him. But Tenzin works hard to prove that’s not the case. He truly loves her and genuinely wants her back, and he’s determined to show her that his feelings are real. "Just like old times" :3

I’m also on Ko-fi~ Feel free to buy me a coffee if you’d like to support my work! Thank you~ Roseey💖

AftG AUs I NEED : An Open Invitation to All Writers

sharing ideas i’ve toyed with for so long but i’m beginning to accept i prolly won’t ever write, thus i’m taking a chance some of these will bewitch someone out there body and soul, and i’ll be able to scratch the itch a little… the more the merrier after all !

The Last of Us : either a romantic version of Joel & Ellie’s dynamic (obv. with the ages adjusted) /OR/ episode 3 AU 🥲 [any ship] {EDIT: i KNOW it’s been done already once, twice, but i *need* more! not just with Andreil! let’s be explorers of possibilities, cmon!!}

Detroit: Become Human : this one i’m really only thinking of Andreil, with either as android and the other as human… i don’t necessarily see them conforming to a specific plot line from the game, i think the android/human dynamic is interesting enough and fits them perfectly, but go off i guess !

Brokeback Mountain : i don’t really need to explain this one do i? happy ending vs. canon character death, that is the true question… [any ship]

Titanic : it’s got so many options and tropes, it’s like a buffet for fic writers ! could be used as setting only, or follow Jack & Rose’s tragic (or not!) love story. [any ship]

The Haunting of Bly Manor : Jamie & Dani haunt me still. great opportunity for Renison, Lailalvarez or Kathea, or perhaps a gender swap on mlm ship? or not, leave them boys as is. haunt me, it’s all i ask. [any ship]

BBC Johnlock : don’t shoot the messenger alright? sorry for the ptsd flashbacks btw. i just think their dynamic and crime/detective AU are great opportunities. i’m personally partial to Jeanaaron for this one, as they were my og idea bc the similarities are??? amazing??? Sherlock!Jean & Watson!Aaron, and the Reichenbach Fall??? so neat. but really, [any ship]

The Maze Runner : Thominewt // Kandreil !?!?!? it’s right there! [any ship] tho.

SKAM : ofc Robbe & Sander from WtFock are physically the perfect Andreil which leads to a great adaptation opportunity here, but Élu from SkamFr are also a great blueprint for a Kevaaron story. honestly any S3 Skam + [any ship]

Dune : listen, i don’t have all the answers. idk how that would even work. but surely you can figure smth out ! [any ship]

Inception : i love the movie. i love hans zimmer. i love Arthur x Eames. NORA SAKAVIC LOVES ARTHUR x EAMES. they’ve got such Andreil vibes, but so do Jerejean, even Renison. and the Foxes as dream crew??? so perf it’s insane. give me and Miss Sakavic what we really want. [any ship]

The Fault in Our Stars : 🥲 [any ship]

CA: The Winter Soldier / Civil War : so it’s kind of like an amnesia AU, but more angsty bc Stucky dynamic. Andreil’s the perfect fit, but who knows who else… [any ship]

Jujutsu Kaisen : 🥲🥲 [any ship.s]

Attack on Titan : 🥲🥲🥲 endless, endless paths… to pain ! [any ship.s]

How I Live Now : is that too niche? or too boring? 🤷‍♀️ (also let’s leave out the cousin thingy…) [any ship]

Red, White & Royal Blue : duh. (but not so duh, apparently, since i’ve yet to read it !!!) [any ship]

The Old Guard : oh the possibilities… Yusuf & Niccolo my loves… nobody be doing it like them, nobody. absolutely one of the most movie ever… top 10 of mine for sure. ugh, gosh ! foxes as Immortals?? the action, the mystery, the soulmates?? please i’m begging. [any ship]

that's what i'm letting go of for now... if anything inspires you, please tag me in your works so i can indulge in and appreciate what you've come up with!!

Love, Adler xx

Percabeth hurt/comfort post Tartarus ptsd?

Basic I know but you can't go wrong torturing some comfort characters 😂

one of my favorite pjo tropes! so so true, thanks for the prompt. (you're my first ever prompter! bit of a landmark for me :) )

-

Staring deeply into his blue comforter like it held the secrets of the world, Annabeth didn't need to be a child of Athena to know that her boyfriend wasn't really there with her. It wasn't the first time one of them had found the other like this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.

He wasn't making noise or moving, actually not doing anything at all, which led her to believe that he wasn't having a panic attack or a flashback. Dissociation then.

After a lot of trial and error following the titan war, they'd figured out touch - especially involving water - helped ground him the best, so she didn't bother with trying to talk to him, not knowing how far gone he was yet. Instead she got some ice out of the water bottle on his nightstand, happening to glance at the few pictures she'd been able to bring for him to Camp Jupiter. Sally, Grover, Tyson, Thalia, the Stolls, Clarisse, and a few other campers smiled back at her.

If she'd known they were going to fall into Tartarus, she'd have packed a few more.

Turning away from the photos with a sigh, she sat down cross-legged on his bed and winced when the mattress bouncing got no reaction from him, so she gently picked up his arm in the hand not holding the ice and starting rubbing it up and down his tan forearm.

"Percy?" she murmured. "I'm gonna count backward from 100, okay?"

Predictably, he didn't answer, but she started her countdown anyway, studying his form for any changes. His jet black hair was falling into his down cast eyes, low enough that she couldn't see his seagreen irises. His pants were creased where his elbows rested on them, and she realized he was wearing the same thing as he was when his watch ended an hour ago. It hurt to know that he could've been like this for so long and she had no idea, but there wasn't anything she could do, not without leaving the ship vulnerable.

Then - movement. His hand twitched; she didn't dare stop, though, not wanting to risk backslide, just kept on counting and rubbing the ice up and down his arm.

A few minutes later, he pulled in a sharp breath and sagged a bit so that the only thing Annabeth could see was the top of his head. She'd lost count of how many times she'd made it to a hundred and back at this point.

"Percy? Are you with me?" He waited a bit and nodded minutely. "Can you try and breathe with me?"

She drew in an exaggerated breath slowly and let it out even slower. He didn't join her, so she tried again. This time, he managed a shaky, slow breath that almost aligned with hers.

After a few minutes passed and he seemed to be more present, she put the ice down on the nightstand, and he sagged even more, head landing on her shoulder like his strings had been cut.

She ran her fingers through his thick curls, illiciting a sigh from him. "Hey, baby."

His breath hitched, and she was afraid for a moment he'd start panicking, but she soon felt her shoulder grow wet.

"We're together," she whispered, hoping his words from so many (weeks? days?) ago would bring him some comfort.

They were still the most important words in the world to her.

At some point, his hands must have unclenched because she felt his nails softly scrape her thigh. "How long was I gone?"

"I don't know," she said honestly. "At least 15 minutes, an hour at most."

"Damn."

Sadly, he pushed himself off of her shoulder, leaving it cold and salty. "What's the last thing you remember?"

He looked off into the distance, thinking. "I remember sitting on the bed to get to ready to shower, and nothing else."

Her heart clenched as that meant he must have been gone closer to an bour. Do you have any idea what triggered you?"

"Uh...I think maybe when I looked across the hall and saw your empty bed..." He trailed off, and she nodded.

"I'll keep the door closed from now on," she promised. It wouldn't be any kind of major change since she never slept in that room anyway. The only reason it had been open was because of habit from Coach Hedge.

Now that Percy was present and they were both calmer, they started getting ready to shower, not wanting to be without the other. (Only shower. Neither of them were ready for more at the moment.) It wasn't long before they were climbing into bed together, both considerably more refreshed but exhausted from a long day on the Argo II.

It had to get better at some point. It just had to.

Since expanding the Jasperverse is apparently my current hobby let's try this on for size: The Collector decides rather than tattling to Philip that his current Grimwalker is stealing the new Grimwalker, it'd be WAY more entertaining to see Philip's face in the morning when he realizes what happened, and thus keeps quiet about the whole thing. Jasper makes a clean getaway with baby Hunter, but for plot reasons doesn't end up running off to some other Titan, and spends the next several years raising his son in hiding and on the run.

Fast forward to Darius finding a 6/8/10-year-old Hunter on his doorstep (or figurative doorstep, your Darius doesn't have a house so maybe it's his mom's doorstep, or Hunter corners him in Bonesborough or something), and this kid informs him that he's gotten separated from his dad, but his dad told him that if things ever went south, he could go to Darius for help.

Darius is just, like, bluescreening, because this kid looks exactly like Jasper, and admits that his dad's name IS Jasper (when it isn't something like Onyx Bloodwilliams or whatever), and is also speaking of Jasper in the present-tense, so like, 1) Jasper is alive??? and 2) JASPER HAS A KID???

A kid who is apparently relying on Darius to take care of him now. And the kid, Darius is disconcerted to learn, KNOWS Darius - he keeps asking him for his version of stories his dad has told him, like is it true that you - and can you tell me about the time you and my dad - And Darius is just like, oh my god, I never considered having kids and I was barely able to consider being in love with Jasper, but Jasper has a kid and has told the kid all about ME, and I need to be the best guardian figure possible to this child until his dad shows up and I can ask him WHAT THE HELL???

(Where's Jasper? Idk, maybe he told Hunter to split up while he goes and lays a false trail elsewhere, maybe he's dealing with bounty hunters who aren't even after them for Golden Guard stuff because who knows what Jasper's been getting up to for the last few years, maybe he's gotten in with the rebellion and is running a mission or something, who knows.)

Also Hunter is, like, a weird kid with a number of worrying skills. He's not a child soldier in this 'verse, more like a child spy. He goes through life like he's playing the world's most intense game of hide-and-seek. He squints suspiciously at everyone and everything. He can pick a lock in 6 seconds. He recreationally pickpockets and thinks it's doubly fun to reverse-pickpocket the item without his mark even realizing it was missing. He can cry on command and make for a good distraction. He knows how to break someone's instep if they try to grab him. He eats bugs.

Bonus irony points if this Hunter still has all the issues Canon Hunter has, but he has those issues because he's loved, not abused. He's very good at doing exactly what he's told…because he knows his and his dad's survival depends on doing everything Jasper says when he says it. He's scarily good at fighting for his age…because Jasper's trained him to be able to defend himself. He's got PTSD and anxiety…because he's spent his whole life worried that people will hurt him and his father. He doesn't have any friends…because they've never been able to stay in one place for very long.

Idk where Darius would stash Hunter for safekeeping. I mean, for HILARITY and SUSPENSE it'd be great to see him trying to sneak the kid around the castle. Hide him in his apartments. Shove him under his office desk whenever some other Coven Head comes in for a chat. Hunter takes it upon himself to explore the castle's fantasy ventilation system and maps out every vent and secret passage in the place to pass the time and give Darius a heart attack. Darius finds a tiny scout uniform and insists that this is totally just a small demon that's been assigned to Darius as an escort. Hunter is scarily good at maintaining a disguise, and Darius doesn't have time to unpack all that. Hm, we know nothing about the covens themselves, could there be some sort of masked Abomination Coven uniform? That'd be better so no one could try to reassign Darius's random scout escort.

The castle might not be feasible though (and Darius would realize that getting Hunter anywhere NEAR the castle would be the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Jasper would want him to do) so the other options are stashing Hunter at his mom's house or recruiting Eda into the situation.

Darius: I need you to house this kid. Eda: Do I LOOK like a babysitter?? Darius: He can pick a lock in six seconds and he's pickpocketed you twice since we started this conversation. Eda: …Intriguing.

Either way though, Darius knows he has to be there for Hunter. He knows that Jasper is relying on him to be there for Hunter. It's like, here Darius, have a universe where you DON'T shoot yourself in the foot and hurt the people you love! He barely understands what's happening and he never wanted kids and he doesn't know if he and Jasper would ever have been a thing so maybe he's not the stepdad but by GOD is he gonna be the dad that stepped up.

Hunter is a good kid despite his upbringing and is really excited to finally meet Darius after everything his dad told him about the guy, but he also really misses his dad and is worried if Jasper's okay. Darius is like, come on, we both know your dad is the strongest witch in the world (even if APPARENTLY NEITHER OF YOU HAVE MAGIC WTF??) he'll be fine. And Darius is maybe not cut out to be a father, but Hunter's a weird kid anyway, so they make it work. Granted Hunter gets REALLY irritated by some things, like, Darius doesn't know how to be as attentive to his infodumps as his dad is, and Darius can't teleport, and one time Hunter skins his knees really bad and Darius slaps on a healing patch and Hunter is REALLY UNIMPRESSED to learn Darius can't just HEAL IT HIMSELF and Darius is like HUNTER YOUR STANDARDS ARE SUPER HIGH AND A LITTLE SKEWED, OKAY???

Jasper might show up again out of the blue perfectly normal, but we all know Jasper's an overdramatic bastard so it's more likely he shows up at some climactic moment while Darius and Hunter are surrounded by enemies that Jasper blasts to kingdom come, or Jasper shows up missing approximately half his blood like "Hey Darius, do you have my kid?" before passing out while Darius is like WTF and Hunter is like "he does this sometimes."

Btw if you wanna make things even MORE complicated, throw in a new Golden Guard who's an adult Grimwalker but only a few years younger than Hunter. He could be an evil asshole or Jasper 2.0 or idk whatever the plot demands. Lol maybe he's an adult version of Will who doesn't have active decomposition issues. Literally no idea what purpose he'd serve in the plot beyond possibly existing tho.

Eberwolf thinks Hunter is great and thinks the whole situation is a riot and is generally very unhelpful except for when he's actually extremely helpful. Darius would like Eberwolf to stop feeding the child bugs. Maybe at some point Raine gets involved (surely they are doing work IN the Bard Coven long before they become its Head Witch, yeah?) and is like "Darius why do you have a child??" and Darius is like "Don't ask and don't say anything" and Raine watches Hunter lockpick his way into a file cabinet of restricted info and just kinda melts because it reminds them of a certain OTHER miscreant chaos child…

Darius and Hunter's relationship has its ups and downs because on the one hand, Hunter is excited to meet this guy, but on the other hand Hunter is a young kid under a lot of stress and Darius wasn't expecting Hunter to exist let alone be his responsibility and also Jasper probably left some stuff out during storytime. Hunter was NOT prepared for Darius to be this…stuffy. Darius is like "Here I got you some new clothes so you don't look like a streetrat" and Hunter is like "I understand the importance of blending in but why is it so fancy-looking" (Hunter thinks anything with a single frill is fancy) and Darius is like "look at all the extra hidden pockets I sewed in for you" and Hunter is like "SOLD."

Basically tho it's a Jasperverse Dadrius AU where Darius gets to be the good guy and Hunter is messed up in all the same ways for completely different reasons, lol.

WHY DO YOU KEEP SLAPPING ME WITH THESE FUCKING BANGERS???? EXCUSE YOU????

I imagine hunter is also very independent... He probably HAS been left alone before, more than jaspers wishes he was. But it's either bring him somewhere dangerous or leave him behind.

I'm going to imagine he still HAS his old GG staff but because it's so old now it's sort of... Like dying batteries, it's way past its warranty. He uses it extremely sparingly and only when there's literally no other option. So generally neither of them are using magic.

Belos must KNOW he got away. And I actually think he wouldn't put up wanted signs for him or anything- jasper hasn't exposed any of his secrets because he's in hiding. But if he's shoved out of hiding he's going to have to go scorched earth to survive. So theyre on the run... But only certain people know to look for him. Coven scouts all know they're looking for a tall blonde man with four scars on his face. Higher level members of the emperor's coven know way more about him. People like Lilith and kikimora know he was the previous GG.

But only the next GG know who he REALLY is..the next one knows he's a Grimwalker past his warranty, and so is Hunter. He is HUNTING them. Actively.

Man what could split jasper and hunter badly enough that he would pull the trigger on going to Darius after all these years and expose the huge secret that he's still alive? That he has a kid? He obviously hasn't gone to Darius yet, so he considers this a risk. What would put him at greater danger than leaving him to find Darius by himself?

I think jasper would legitimately have to be in serious danger. Maybe he gets seriously wounded fleeing coven scouts and he knows he can't protect Hunter like this so he sends him running the opposite way while he keeps them busy, so Hunter doesn't... Actually know if he's okay or not

OH! Omg hang on... They got caught by the new GG and jasper got seriously wounded like. He's bleeding everywhere. And he sends hunter away, get out of here, go find Darius. I'll find you. And hunter doesn't know for SURE if he's okay or not but he's soooo sure his dad can handle anything, nobody could ever REALLY hurt him! And Darius isn't so sure, but... Nothing HAPPENS. Like there's no big petrification ceremony or anything. If he's dead he was killed quietly. He has no idea where jasper is or if he's okay but he's got his kid now and hunter is CERTAIN his dad is fine, he will be here soon. He keeps saying stuff like "when Dad comes back" like when Dad comes back he can show you x thing or when Dad comes back you can tell him y! And Darius doesn't... Know what to say and he's terrified of when the ball might drop that.. it's been days and he's not here yet. It's been more days and he's not here yet.

ONLY HES NOT DEAD because the next GG isn't nearly as loyal as Jasper was. He's caught him and is basically holding him hostage secret from Belos trying to get his OWN answers on what's going on and what's true.

Veteran Isekai Protagonist Luz

What if, before ending up in the Demon Realm, Luz had been summoned to become a Hero of one of those fantasy RPG isekai worlds?

But!

The people who summoned Luz were assholes who decided it would be easier to summon (aka kidnap) people from another world to fight their battles rather than do it themselves. That's why they summoned 13-year-old Luz; young kids/teens are easier to manipulate/control.

Luz managed to defeat the great evil, but all her companions/friends died in the process. Sure, the assholes who dragged her into this got their comeuppance and Luz got to keep all of her powers/weapons/skills, but it did not change the fact that she returned home traumatized.

BTW, time fuckery happened, so although Luz was in the other world for months, only a few minutes passed on Earth. Luz could have proven to her mother what happened was real as she still has access to her powers, but Luz kept quiet because she didn’t want to burden her. So poor Camila one day found her daughter acting so strange with a haunted look in her eyes, and had no idea what was wrong.

Rather than a book report gone wrong due to the snakes escaping, the incident that got Luz sent to camp was caused by her PTSD. Like in canon, Luz throws her Azura book into the trash, but it's because she can't stand to look at it as her first adventure broke a bit the illusion of fantasy adventures. She immediately regrets it because it was a gift from her dad, but as you know, Owlbert snatched it first. Luz immediately realizes that something is up with Owlbert, but she still follows him, partly out of curiosity.

This Luz would not be as awestruck by the Demon Realm as Canon Luz, though she would still find it interesting just cause it's a very different world from her own and the last one she was in. She is a little nervous about Demons at first but quickly realizes that they are different from the ones in the other world.

I imagine Luz has a panic attack when Eda pulls the "you really don't have a choice" stunt in the first episode. Eda feels concerned about why the human reacted that way, as well as guilty that she might have inadvertently triggered something. She tells Luz that she doesn’t need to do anything and can just go home - Eda may be a criminal and a scam artist, but she isn’t going to take advantage of a traumatized child. But Luz still agrees to help Eda, partly because she thinks she needs to do it, and because that is the kind of person.

This is also what motivates Luz to stay in the Demon Realm. Although Eda has the portal and can let Luz go home at anytime, Luz has the mentality that she was brought to the Demon Realm for a reason and needs to fulfill that reason before she can go home. She has a bit of a breakdown when she later realizes that she always had the choice to go home.

The Gods from the first isekai world weren't happy that Luz got summoned because it's bad taste to kidnap people who have nothing to do with the issues of their world. Unfortunately, they couldn't do much cause Gods must not directly interfere with mortal affairs, only provide indirect guidance. They did ensure that the people responsible for summoning Luz would recieve punishment.

Currently, they are chilling in the In-Between Realm alongside Papa Titan, watching Luz’s adventures while munching on popcorn.

Luz’s abilities would be surprising to the Boiling Isles’ inhabitants because Humans shouldn’t be able to use magic. Belos is especially intruded because how can this girl use magic without the use of Glyphs.

A bit about Luz’s abilities in this AU:

Luz is a Magic Knight; aside from spellcasting, she also knows her way around weapons and physical fighting. As the ‘Hero’ Luz can use all types of magic: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, Dark, and Null (any non-elemental spell), but her prefered element is Light. Her main weapon is an enchanted sword that can channel magic and that only Luz can wield.

The Appraisal/Analyze skill that is common in fantasy isekais; it can give Luz information on people and things. Using it on Eda after meeting her allows Luz to find out about her curse earlier.

This Luz has experience fighting powerful monsters and opponents, so she isn't as defenseless as her canon self. I wouldn’t call her OP as there are some people stronger than her, like Belos (can’t have things be too easy), but she is without a doubt the strongest person in her age range.

Luz’s Light magic includes powerful Healing, so she is able to help Eda with her curse, Luz CAN’T get rid of it because the Owl Beast is it’s own living creature rather than a traditional curse, BUT she can heal all the damage Eda’s body has sustained. Like the rapid aging cause by the strain of transforming, and the damage and deterioration on her bile sac that causes Eda’s lost of magic. Meaning that, once Luz’s heals her, Eda finally looks her age (complete with wild red hair), and her magic power is back to her prime.

Eda will still come to her agreement with the Owl Beast and gain the Harpy Form in the future.

Luz still finds the Glyphs and learns to use them even though she already has magic because it’s smart to have variety.

Mam właściwie jedno nortujące pytanie a mianowicie wizje megatrona o unicronie jak to wygląda w pokojowej linii czasu ?

Previous Episode of the Peaceful Timeline

Translation: I actually have one more question, namely megatron's visions of unicron, what does it look like in a peaceful timeline?

That is...a good question.

The visions of Unicron and his 'younger self' (as I have labeled for a very specific in AOP) are just manifestations of his rage, his guilt, his anger, sorrow, and regret. Unicron has no real influence over Megatron because his soul is currently locked away in an indestructible container while his physical body is still in the center of the Earth.

But Megatron at the end of the day has some major PTSD. If he was still the villain, none of his actions would have bothered him. But now he fully sees himself as a monster, and he has to come to grips with the fact that he fucked up.

His hallucinations aren't helped by the fact of his environment, because in the main AOP timeline, he is not really trusted and treated at arm's length. It's just adding more fuel to the fire of the question: even if he wanted to change, would it be believed? Would he still be seen as a villain by everyone around him? Is the risk to make connections really worth it, if the end result is always going to be misery?

As AOP continues onward, you'll start to notice, or you might even notice now, the more connections and actions towards good that he is making, the quieter the hallucinations become. He's finding manageable ways to cope. Doesn't mean that it's entirely healthy.

Now in regard to the Peaceful Timeline, Megatron's hallucinations were definitely in full force before he found Optimus and Ymir. Taunting him and telling him to give up on his fruitless mission to find Optimus, from some extremely primitive painting and play to go off of. Finding Optimus was the one thing keeping him going, but the longer he searched, the worse his mind got.

Then he found Optimus and Ymir. Before Megatron would really find a kinship with Ymir and build a connection with her while also trying to fix what he had with Optimus, both are practically screaming at him: 'What the hell are you doing?' They were telling him to stop this farce. He'll make it worse. Leave! Kill the girl! NO!

He kept those thoughts to himself obviously, and he still didn't have that high opinion of Ymir, and Optimus still hated himself. But then...Ymir says thank you when he brings food for her she's able to eat, he helps with the delivery process, and he sees a woman holding her daughter with such care and love, when she shouldn't. The child was forced upon her. She had no choice...so why did she care about this thing?

His reasons for staying with Optimus and Ymir slowly begin to change. He's beginning to learn and grow and how to be a better person, especially to Ymir, who's actively been willing to give him another chance because of their understanding of each other. Then he forms an actual connection with Maria, and because he doesn't want her perception of him to change, he learns to control his anger.

And as Megatron is in a positive environment now, the hallucinations are not as severe as before, because he has ways to cope. Doesn't mean that it's gone away. When Maria learns about their titan forms, it comes full force. When Maria learns the truth about the war, it's practically attacking him. It's moments in his life that are shrouded in doubt and fear is when it all comes back.

He does ultimately decide to tell Optimus about it, feeling as though they were in a place where they could trust each other again. And Optimus finds ways that Megatron can cope with the situation if and when it arises.

The panic attack part two

———————————————————————

so this is a prompt I found made by @irondadmadlads and yeah

Peter doesn’t have PTSD. Sure, his hands get sweaty and his breathing picks up whenever he’s in a tight space, but that’s only because he’s claustrophobic! He was never claustrophobic before Toomes. Maybe his dreams consist of space and ashes and fading away into nothingness, but nightmares don’t always have meaning! He never had this reoccurring nightmare until he died on Titan. Peter doesn’t have PTSD.

But Tony notices how Peter is always on edge. Always anxious. F.R.I.D.A.Y. hears the boy cry at night, not being able to sleep after a bad dream. Bruce sees the boy run out of the room when a trigger is mentioned.

Peter may think he doesn’t have PTSD, but his family does. And they’re worried about him.

(this is what the post said thank you to @irondadmadlads for the idea!) multiple occasions so this will have many chapters!

———————————————————————

*Post snap Tony doesn’t die* ———————————————————————

Peter was waken up from his nightmare jolting up clearly panicking but he calmed down but only started crying after the fourth attempt of falling asleep it was almost 9 am it wasn’t a school night so Peter decided to go out on patrol. (May i add he went to be at ten and woke up at ten thirty and didn’t go back to sleep at all?)

“hay Karen do you mind telling dad I’m on patrol?” Peter asked the ai after he left through his window

“Of course Peter but are you sure you should be out here even if you only got 30 minutes of sleep?” The ai sounded concerned

“I’m-*yawn*- sure Karen.” Peter says almost falling

“Peter you should really get back you haven’t slept enough at all.” Karen said sounding concerned

at then he heard a gunshot he felt stinging pain in his leg and looked down.

“shit!” Peter yelped

Peter quickly webbed up the villeins and webbed to a bear by alleyway Peter k ew ye should tell someone so the only person he thought of was Tony.

“Karen, call dad!” Peter informed the ai

“already on it.” The ai responded

———————————————————————

“Pete are you okay Karen just informed me you’re hurt?” Tony asks flying to the coordinates on his screen.

“d-dad, it’s bad really bad, I’m shot, leg im losing alot of blood.” Peter says his breath picking up

“Deep breaths kid im almost there.” Tony says trying to comfort the kid. Tony knows that the kid only says that he’s hurt if it hurt to bad for him to handle

“d-dad, I’m s-seeing b-black dots. Dad he-.” Tony sees peter faint falling off the ledge he was on

“Shit!” Tony yells catching the kid

“F. R. I. D. A. Y vitals!” when Tony sees the vitals he tells his ai to get Bruce in the med bay and ready for a unconscious teen with a bullet wound.

Facts

Modt of the characters are still in the NES only M isn't in it (but he's begging to be put back in)

If it was Soft Infinity impaled M would've bene tortured WAY WAY WORSE (not only by Infinitys siblings but also the other Infinitys and the minus gang Collectors)

The reason why everyone looked so mad seeing Dearest was because he's the reason the whole mess happened

Mearest was gonna appear but she didn't (if she did Infinity wouldn't have hurt her and the others would've been nicer)

Pico was gonna help Infinity and be rewarded by his dad but that didn't make the final cut

Infinity doesn't have PTSD after the mess

It sill be a long time until Boyfriend Girlfriend and Pico watch/play Mario games (same with the other alt ending)

Whitty was basically forced to go there

I don't know if I'll make this canon to the main Infinity universe or if it's just another universe (meaning its not the Infinity from the stories)

Infinity also tortures M buts it's actually mostly for what he did to Boyfriend and Girlfriend and Pico and not for impaling him

Even if Infinity did die M"s actions wouldn't have gone unpunished and the four souls would've ascended to the Afterlife and become good pals

Infinitys powers weren't canceled out since his power is WAY stronger than Girlfriend's the only thing thst could really cancel his power are Titans (if the console was made by a Collector Infinity could've lost his powers)

Infinity was limping due to bring exhausted (the impalment barely even faced him)

Its admittedly really hard to make Collector's bleed but M just got lucky ish

Infinitys chest doesn't have any damage or anything so it's like he never got impaled

The three did legitimately become a three way like the other version

The characters that didn't attack Infinity (like Secret History Mario or Beta Luigi) aren't being punished

Its likely M will be punished for eternity

Infinity likely stays in touch with them and meets their other pals

This is technically the very first time Infinity interacted with Dearest (not counting the RP"s me and my friend do)

And like I said this technically counts as canon to the Mario mod and for the Infinity series....it's technically not officially but consider this the events in another universe but chronologically this happens before book 5

Dearest feels absolutely horrible that he indirectly caused this and is alot nicer to Boyfriend and Pico

Eventually the three do forgive Dearest (but that's like several months after)

They did get a replacement NES

M legitimately did think for a moment that Infinity made a good point about him doing the same thing to Boyfriend Girlfriend and Pico despite them not having anything to do with his "tragedy"

The Grand Collector mentioned is actually the same one as mentioned before (he has no infinite counterparts but there are infinite versions of him aren't fused with a Titan)

If M was aware of Infinitys God like powers before finding out the hard way he would've allowed him and the other three to leave in an instant (but Infinity would probably still get some form of revenge on M for what he did)

Infinity only really despises M and didn't ask for the others to be punished

Boyfriend and Girlfriends souls are back in their organic bodies

Infinity doesn't hate Mearest either

If Infinity would to be ripped in half he'd likely be able to simply reconnect his legs with his body like a Lego piece

This is also the first time Infinity ever actually changed sized (which is what The Collector did in TOH)

aight that's it

Did you like it?

Pretty interesting ^^

Dating Jason Todd (Part Nine)

fanfic type: angst, fluff, comfort (ongoing)

If you liked the Titans show but wish they handled Jason’s story line differently you might like this fic!

Hey so this is in fact my first time writing fanfiction (idk what my life has come to). Sorry if it’s cringy but also I would eat this up cause I LOVE some good angsty comfort fanfiction. I won’t write smut. I don’t think I’m gonna do requests but if you have any ideas feel free to let me know. Also of course I don’t own any DC characters this is purely fanfiction. Thank you and I hope you enjoy. (I hope you like run-on sentences💀) (if you don’t like it don’t be rude just move on dude😃🧍‍♀️)

So story line, this doesn’t really take place in any specific universe but I’m gonna be pulling concepts from Titans, Arkham Knight, The Batman, Under the Red Hood, and whatever lore I remember from the CW shows cause I grew up watching those, then just my imagination of course. Reader is referred to as she/her btw.

Warnings: talking about death, suicide, depression, torture (it’s not graphic I hate gore it’s just sad), talking about intimacy (not graphic), struggling with eating, topics of grief, violence, panic attacks, PTSD, talking about religion

Part Nine: The Funeral of Jason Todd

It’s been five days since Jason was killed by the Joker. Kori, Gar and Rachel drove up from San Francisco four days ago. Bruce got back to Gotham three days ago. Roy and Thea would get to Wayne manor later today. You sat in Jason’s bed wearing his Silversun Pickups t-shirt. His bracelets you’d taken off his corpse were on the nightstand beside you. You looked to them and all the good memories they held. You then looked down to the air mattress Dick had slept on a week ago and all the complicated memories it held. You didn’t want to look at it anymore, it felt disrespectful and bothersome. You drained all the air from it and began folding it up when someone knocked on the door.

“Come in,” you say. The door opens, it’s Dick.

“Breathing in the five year old air?” He says attempting to be normal in such an abnormal situation. You don’t say anything in return. “I’ll finish doing that, Bruce has a question for you.”

“Fine,” you say as you get up and walk past him. You head down the stairs and find Bruce sitting in the living room. You sit in an armchair across from him.

“Y/N,” he says.

“Bruce,” you say with a sigh.

“I just had a quick question for you,” he says.

“Okay…let’s hear it,” you say.

“I was wondering your opinion on if we should do open or closed casket?” He says. His question takes you aback slightly. “I know the funeral home did the best they could, I’m just not sure everyone seeing him like that is the best idea,” he says.

“Closed casket, you, me and Dick can say goodbye and he’d want Roy, Alfred and Gar to be able to as well. But he wouldn’t want anyone else to see him, not like that,” you say.

“Right, thank you” Bruce says.

“No problem,” you say as you get up from the couch. You are about to go back upstairs when the doorbell rings. You look through the window to see Thea and Roy. You open the door and are immediately greeted by Thea hugging you.

“Hey,” she says softly.

“Hi,” you say. You always found comfort in Thea and your friendship. You grew up in Central City. After Oliver disappeared Thea began hanging out with the wrong crowd and got kicked out of her private school and then Star High School, so she went to Central High. You became close and you both ended up going to the same college in Star City. You’d helped Thea through losing her brother, her brother coming back, and finding out Malcom Merlin was her father. You guys had been through a lot and so you were glad she was here.

Roy had decided he wanted to be alone to say goodbye to Jason. Thea and you sat in Jason’s room on the bed. It reminded you of sleepovers you two had in high school and how you’d run around the Queen mansion having fashion shows and blasting club music.

“Can I get your opinion on something?” You ask her.

“Course,” she says.

“I took Jason’s bracelets when I found him, I didn’t want them to get locked up in evidence. I’m gonna put them back on him but I was wondering if I should put these too?” You say as you grab a stack of Polaroids. Thea begins looking through them. One is of you, Jason, Roy and Thea. Another is you, Gar, Jason, and Rachel from one of the many times you guys made pancakes. Another is you and Jason at a concert you went to. The last was one Jason took of you, it’s a portrait from your waist up of you in a lacy bright pink bra with a soft genuine smile; in it you’re wearing your pink diamond necklace.

“You totally don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to but we just always used to talk about boys and stuff…” Thea begins to say.

“Oh you’re fine, it’s you Thea you could ask me anything,” you say.

“Jason took this photo?” She asks as she holds up the polaroid of you in your bra. You nod yes. “Did you two ever?”

“No,” you say softly. “We made out all the time, we feel, felt, safe with each other and love each other but you know I’ve always been a bit scared of physical intimacy because of how I’ve been treated before,” you say. “He never pressured me, he was never weird or creepy about my body…he was perfect,” you say as you start crying. Thea pulls you into a hug.

“I think he’d want the Polaroids with him,” she says. Thea left and you got ready for the funeral. You wore a long sleeve black dress that went to just above your knee, you of course wore your pink diamond necklace and then simple black heels. You were putting on perfume when you heard a knock on the door.

“Come in,” you say. The door opens, it’s Dick dressed in a black suit.

“Bruce wanted me to tell you me, him, Alfred, Gar and Roy have said goodbye so you can head down when you’re ready and then we’ll close the casket,” he says.

“Okay, thank you” you say trying to keep it together. You follow Dick down the stairs. He points to the parlor where Jason is. You go inside and close the door behind you.

Sunlight pours in from the windows. Of course the one day Gotham has nice weather was the day you were putting the love of your life in the ground. You take a deep breath and then walk over to the casket. Jason wore a black suit with a white flower tucked into it. You couldn’t stop your eyes from looking at the “J” Joker had carved into the side of his face. A few tears escaped your eyes as you remembered the pain he endured during his final moments. You tucked the Polaroids into his jacket pocket. You held the bracelets in your hand as you realized putting them on him would mean you’d have to touch his corpse. You were disgusted at the idea of his cold skin. You debated for a moment asking Roy or Dick to do it for you but you reminded yourself it was still Jason and he would want you to do it. Carefully you pulled each bracelet onto his wrist. You didn’t want to kiss him on the lips; you wanted to remember your last kiss as warm and loving. Instead you pushed back his curls and kissed his forehead. As you were moving away from his face you once again noticed the “J”. You kissed the “J” carving lightly as one final act of love and comfort.

“I’ll see you again one day Jason, remember to save me a seat next to you in heaven. I will always love you,” you say softly to him. You think about saying goodbye but can’t bear to. Instead you smile gently at him. You pray the Hail Mary over him; knowing neither you or Jason agree with everything the Catholic Church has to say but you both were raised Catholic.

During the funeral you sit between Rachel and Thea; Gar was beside Rachel and Roy beside Thea. Donna turned up last minute and sat with Dick and Kori. You hadn’t figured out if she showed up for Dick, out of guilt for what happened at the tower, or to be there for you. Bruce sat with Alfred of course. Dawn and Hank were unsurprisingly no where to be found. You never understood why Hank disliked Jason so much; in your eyes they were very similar. Jason’s parents and Uncle Ray were all dead. You guys were his family. Alfred did the eulogy, apparently during Jason’s days of being Robin in Gotham he once asked Alfred to do it if he ever died. After mass you all headed back to Wayne manor where he’d be buried. One by one each person threw a rose into his grave; you were the last to throw a rose in.

Everyone sat in the parlor talking and sharing stories but you were too zoned out to actually listen to anything being said. You slipped away and headed outside to the grave.

“Everyone’s talking about you,” you said to his headstone. You sat down beside his grave. “I’ll never say this to anyone else but you going after Joker alone was really fucking stupid Jason. It was a dumb move…don’t worry if anyone else ever says that I’ll slap them. You should’ve taken me with you though…then at least maybe I could be buried beside you.” You lay down in the grass next to his grave. “Maybe in another life you never boosted that fucking car and we met some other way and fell in love and got married and got to gaslight our children into thinking Santa is real,” you say as you laugh slightly. Your playful laughing quickly turns into tears. You cry and cry. Then crying turns into sobbing and then suddenly the ground beneath you is literally wet with tears. You cry so hard you fall asleep there in the grass next to Jason’s grave.

Hey, sorry this chapter was so sad and dramatic but it is angst soooo yeah. I hope you enjoyed reading it and if you did remember to like. I appreciate any and all positive feedback, it encourages me to keep writing and posting parts. I have a lot of ideas to develop the red hood plot (I disliked titans plot line with scarecrow so I’m basically gonna lean more into under the red hood and then obviously my imagination). I also plan on writing backstory on how the reader met Dick and Jason and her time as a titan so if you’d be interested in that please follow me. If you haven’t read the other parts and want to remember to check out my Masterlist. Thank you for reading this series it’s super fun to write!

Here’s a link to my Masterlist btw if you wanted to check it out.

Sure! I'm sorry for the delay, it took longer than I thought to make my thoughts into something vaguely coherent lol

Also, this got long, so it's going under a cut and, fair warning; there be spoilers ahead.

Titans has two big failings for me; one is pacing, and the second is, as you sort of mentioned in your ask, that the interpretations of these beloved characters are trying so hard to be dark and edgy that it mostly just makes them supremely unlikable hypocrites.

Both of these come to a head in season 3's Red Hood arc.

It makes sense that they can't do a faithful adaption of UTRH, because Titans is the Dick show, not the Bruce show, and they don't want to try to do the Joker. That's fine, it wouldn't really make sense for this version of Jason anyway - he's older; his childhood trauma is a different flavour; he hasn't been with Bruce for as long; and everyone in this show is more violent and reckless, so Bruce benching Jason for being "too violent and reckless" wouldn't really make sense.

So they kill Jason off in the opening episode, and then they have Bruce kill the Joker and peace out of Gotham because, again, this is the Dick show. We have episodes 2 and 3 of Red Hood causing problems for Dick and the Titans - up to and including killing Hank which apparently we're supposed to be sad about - and then ep 4 where Dick figures out that Red Hood is actually just a pawn working for Jonathan Crane to break him out of Arkham Asylum.

Then we get episode 5, the flashback which shows us that an already suicidally depressed Jason also developed PTSD from the incident with Deathstroke and it's aftermath. He's having nightmares, panic attacks, and is unable to fight anymore. Bruce suggests therapy, which Jason commits to, but then Bruce benches him anyway, which leads Jason to go to Crane because a guy who makes fear gas can probably make an *anti*-fear gas, right?

Well. Sort of.

Crane gives Jason the wrong formula on purpose, and the result is a gas that makes him feel nothing at all. While he's under the influence of this drug, Crane manipulates Jason into proving he's no longer scared by going after the Joker, and then revives him to make him even more indebted to him.

This is all pretty sympathetic, and the next few episodes make a point of confirming that most if not all of what Jason did in ep 2 and 3 was Crane's plan. There's a scene where Jason questions Crane, and is promptly shown that Crane has other underlings who would be happy to replace Red Hood as his second in command.

When Jason undermines Crane again, Crane drugs him (uhh...double drugs him?) and ties him up. The Titans figure out where Crane is hiding and show up to wreck shit, and Jason (now detoxing from the drugs) seems almost pleased about this. Crane escapes, dragging Jason with him, but Jason has had enough of being used, knocks the creep out and runs. He broods on his own for a bit, and then contacts Dick because he realises he maybe fucked up.

So far so good.

I'm not gonna say it's perfect, because there are some really strange choices being made just in general (*cough*confessing that you murdered your teammate to a pair of hookers*cough*), but I can see where they've drawn inspiration from Arkham Knight and tried to connect the dots between the way Jason was treated in season 2 and said well, hey! A kid with RSD up the wazoo is gonna look for approval wherever he can get it, even if that's from a known supervillain who likes fucking with people's heads.

Now, if I were writing the show, this is where I would have Jason's redemption arc start. He walked away from Crane of his own volition, he made the choice himself to reach out to Dick. Crane is desperate and erratic, so having Jason on the titans side isn't any kind of deux ex machina "I know his whole plan and how to stop him" situation.

But because this is Titans, and they so love a bizarre 2nd act team breakup for increasingly stupid reasons, they don't do that.

Instead they pull a fake out, where Crane is evesdropping on Jason and Dick's conversation, and uses that information to lead the Titans into a trap that puts him back in control of the situation. It's never 100% confirmed if Jason was in on this plan or not, but I tend to think he wasn't. Either way, the Titans think he was, so his hope of redemption is dashed and he's drawn back into Crane's circus for another 3 episodes of lacklustre rivalry with Dick that goes nowhere before finally helping the Titans in the final episode.

What's more annoying to me is the way the supposed heroes talk about Jason during this time. When other Titans had been brainwashed, magically controlled, or even just had a violently emotional outburst, they get the benefit of the doubt. Jason doesn't. Gar is the only person asking how this happened, asking how they can *help*. Everyone else is ready to straight up kill Jason for his crimes, even KORI, whose b-plot this season is LITERALLY ABOUT FORGIVING HER SISTER FOR MURDERING HER PARENTS!!

Ahem Anyway.

I'm definitely rambling now lol, but yeah, I think they wrote a decently solid Red Hood plot that fits the Titans-verse, they just tried to make it last a full season when it was a half-season type arc.

Hello yes hi which are these Jason-centric episodes of Titans please? Because I tried it previously and gave up after like 3 episodes because literally every character’s characterisation was annoying me. But I wish to enjoy the Jason hours if that is possible without having to speed run the rest of the 4 seasons. If you please 💙

Oh that is entirely valid, and I would be delighted to help!

So, even though it's not technically Jason-centric, I really do have to recommend season 1 episode 6 "Jason Todd" which, as the name suggests, is his intro episode. It really sets the tone for his and Dick's relationship, and I don't think either of them ever fully recover from this first interaction.

Season 2 is a little trickier, because Jason's story takes place in the background of a couple other episodes - ep 2, 3, and 5, if you did want to skip through them for his bits - but this culminates in season 2 episode 7 "Bruce Wayne", after which Jason leaves the Titans.

Next, you want season 3 episode 5 "Lazarus", which is the flashback episode that bridges how we get from disillusioned Jason to the Red Hood. This is the only fully Jason focused episode, and for unrelated reasons also happens to be my favourite.

The rest of season 3 is... Complicated. It could almost have been good if they'd cut it off halfway through, but they drag it out and flip-flop too many times on Jason's stance for me in the end. I'm happy to give a more detailed breakdown if you want, just let me know!

And last but not least: season 4 episode 11 "Project Starfire" has the Jason Tim interactions, and is well worth skipping through for that alone imo. Jason is so much more settled in himself here that it makes all the suffering almost worth it.

Manga readers definitely had some war flashbacks with that opening.

WIT studio should have warned us.

[beyondthetemples-ooc]

...Feeling kinda “weird” about all the people I’ve seen in the past year or so saying that Raven is/was immature, needs to grow up, etc...?

I mean, communication and such are definitely skills that need honing and growth.

But, like...

Her “attitude”? (If somebody is being an idiot, why does it make you “the better person” to let them continue on making a fool of themselves? Why not correct them? If somebody is being cruel or unfair or dangerous to you or anyone you love, why is it considered “bigger” to love them right back? what does that even accomplish? Real talk, NOTHING.)

Isn’t it more mature to be honest than to cover your feelings, opinions, and honest personality with politeness and propriety?

You ask me, propriety is actually the immaturity option, because A) people can’t handle reality, whether it’s your personality, bad news, whatever, so you soften it up for them? Like you’re baby-proofing your interactions the same way you baby-proof your house?

And B) It takes focus away from what is really, genuinely more important.

I will never advocate that “customer service people should be kind, smily, outgoing,” whatever. They’re there to ring out your groceries, let them do that without expending energy lying to you. If you’re being rude, we both know you don’t deserve that smile, so why waste the energy?

Propriety (in a situation where there’s Tension or Displeasure) dictates that one person or another either lies about their mood, or lies about the interaction. So why is it “the bigger person” to say, “I’m going to lie about how much I like you right now”?

That’s all it is, lying. And I thought that was a BAD thing.
