Batlantern Fanfic Prompt

Amazing fanfic writers!!! I have a prompt I’m desperate for someone to write because apparently, I like angst, and I’ve never seen one like this done before.

PROMPT: A batlantern fic where Bruce and Hal are already engaged, and one day Hal drops a prenup in front of Bruce in his office. Only thing is, the prenup is completely designed so that in the event of a divorce, Hal walks away with nothing. Bruce refuses to sign it while Hal says it makes sense given the vast difference in financials and the fact that Bruce owns a whole company. Things come to a head when Bruce talks to Alfred about it and Alfred reveals he’d inquired and Hal told him that he wrote that up so that if Bruce ever wanted to divorce him, he could do so immediately, without fear of any repercussions toward him, or toward his kids inheritance. Hal never wants Bruce to be with/stay with him out of obligation, he never wants to be “just another obligation in his life”. After finding this out, Bruce makes it his mission to show Hal that will never happen.

****Includes multiple Batkids who adore Hal (I’m thinking mainly Damian and Tim). Alfred loves Hal already. Maybe some JL members

Batlantern divorce au

But like. Would Jason coming back bring them closer together or push them further apart? Bc I can imagine Bruce just. Not telling Hal. That Jason is alive again. Mainly bc the pain is too much for him. Then Hal finds out and he’s furious bc he’s like “OUR SON CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME???”

Oh no 100%, Jay coming back does not fix anything. I think they break up, start being more friendly to each other again when Tim enters the fray, but then Jason returning and Bruce keeping it to himself sends them straight back to square one. A mess!!

Author’s Name: Sidhewrites

Fandoms you write for: DC comics, Marvel ( working on), and I have 2 ongoing Harry Potter fics that I'm puttering in when I'm stuck on everything else.

Where you post: AO3 mainly. I think I have a few on Tumblr I haven't gotten around to adding quite yet.

Most popular one-shot: On AO3 is a Batlantern one-shot called World's Greatest Detective. My first Bruce/Hal fic, cute and fluffy, and I had fun writing it. On Tumblr it's a little fluff piece of someone complementing Bruce for taking the time to learn Damian's native language. ( on my main blog, before I created this side one)

Most popular multi-chapter story: Bat Wings and Power Rings! An isolated!bats AU with a side helping of pre-batlantern, and Hal bonding with Dick and Jason.

Favorite story you wrote: I loved writing both of my AUs Dragons of Gotham and my Born Bold series. I have ideas for lots of little side stories in both worlds, and even a few chapter fics.

Story you were nervous to post: Growing-up Nightwing. It was my first foray into the Batman fandom, and I was very unsure about it. But I took the plunge and never looked back.

How do you choose your titles? Sometimes they're random, other times it's a theme from the story itself, or a line.

Do you outline?: Sometimes I do, for my long fics I usually do, for my one shots, not so much.

How many of your stories are…

*complete?: 6? 7?

*in-progress? 10 are WiPs,

Coming soon: Next chapter Growing Up Nightwing, and the second/final chapter of Strawberry Milk and C-4.

Do you accept prompts? YES!!! Always! Might take a while to complete but I look forward to them!

Upcoming story you are most excited to write: There's Iron in my Blood, is my DC/Marvel Crossover that's been in the planning stages for a few months. It's gonna be another long one. I'm anticipating 15+ chapters. I'm also excited to write several side stories for my Dragon and Isolated Batfam AUs.

my top five fics i’ve written for 2018

i was pretty busy this year. i vowed to write at least two fics every month this year and, save for one month where i prepped for kinktober, i managed the goal.

so i thought that i’d look back on all the fics and narrow it down to some of my five favorites. i set some guidelines, mainly that i couldn’t pick anything from kinktober. i wanted something with a bit more substance than just 31 days of straight porn to parse through. i might pick favorites from kinktober in particular but i just wanted to pick some from this year.

so without further ado and in no particular order, here are my favorite fics i wrote this year. all fics are, of course, nsfw.

1. The Answers I’ll Never Get (For The Questions I’ve Never Asked)

i wrote this fic over the course of a few months for the DCU big bang. it’s the longest thing i’ve ever written by more than half, and i’m just incredibly proud of it. i love how it turned out as well.

pairing: Hal Jordan/Guy Gardner/John Stewart/Kyle Rayner

2. I Had Dreams Of You In Places I’ve Not Seen Before

i loved writing my big bang fic of course, but i loved writing this one more because i consider it to be a culmination of the things i learned while writing my big bang fic. on top of that, i just love the feelings behind it. it’s a different take on the pairing, a softer one, and i really enjoyed writing it.

pairing: GuyHal

3. No Good Intentions

this one is a weird one because i wrote it to the feeling of morrison’s GL run, which hadn’t come out yet at the time. and then it came out and it surprisingly tracked. sinestro drinking red wine is honestly such a mood either way though!

pairing: HalSin

4. When You Go Away, I Still See You

i wrote this fic after moving cross country, and i think that it reflects a lot of the emotions that i had during this point. also, if i had to pick a favorite fic this year, it’d probably be this one. 

pairing: GuyHal

5. Please Don’t Say You Love Me

this was an exercise in starting and finishing something. i love the 5+1 format so, when i came up with the idea, i knew that i wanted to make it my little experiment. 

and this fic was born. i started this fic in march, it’s the oldest fic on this list, and i’m an entirely different writer now in some ways (i also realized that i don’t like a select few pairings from this fic). either way, i’ve learned so much this year!

pairings: HalCarol, HalSin, HalKyle, HalBarry, BatLantern, GuyHal.

i have the same goal next year. at least two fics every month. i’d also encourage others to make a top five list of their favorite fics from the year!

Salty Ask list, 4. For Green Lantern stuff

HEY THANKS!!

4. Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?

HMMMMMM none that i can immediately think of? i'd say i hate it when people ship jay & alan but it's hardly popular enough to count so that mainly goes for mild inconvenience. probably hal/barry or batlantern if i realllly had to choose but again, don't particularly engage with that side of the fandom

wait actually anybody who ships kyle & connor with any characters that aren't each other or actual canon relationships (in kyle's case) is my mortal enemy for the sole reason of clogging up the tags. not to mention just how straight up inexplicable stuff like jason todd/kyle is

wait wait wait actually same goes for people shipping the lanterns with each other. sorry folks

Second claims are optional. Don’t want to claim a second story, or don’t feel like you’ll be able to create something for two stories? You don’t need to claim! I would much rather you focus on creating something awesome for one story, rather than being stressed out trying to create something for two stories. Know your limits and don’t overburden yourself!

Second claims will close when all stories have been claimed.

How to Make Multiple Claims:

4 Title: The Ghosts of Robins Past Word Count: 9,399 Genre: Action, casefic, drama, canon divergence Fandom/Universe: Batman Characters/Pairings: Bruce Wayne, Tim Drake, Alfred Pennyworth, Jack Drake, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd. Jason Todd/Dick Grayson Warnings: Kidnapping, mentions of torture Rating: PG-13 Summary: Bruce never planned or wanted to take on a third Robin. Dick seemingly vanished off the face of the earth at fourteen and Jason was murdered at fifteen. Thirteen-year-old Tim Drake came into his life while he grieved for Jason, insisting Bruce needed a Robin to keep him balanced. Against his better judgment, he accepted and began training Tim. Now, at fourteen, Tim’s more than earned the mantle of Robin and his place at Bruce’s side. But did Bruce make a terrible mistake in accepting him? If something should happen to Tim, could he handle another loss? Bruce hopes he won’t have to answer that question. Soon he has a new case on his hands. People are being killed with gold tipped knives with owl symbols on their hilts. Bruce believes the killer is mimicking the Court of Owls to scare Gothamites while Tim believes a Talon is responsible. Dismissing the claim, Bruce continues to fight Gotham’s crime while doing his best to keep Tim safe. Even the best intentions fail. After a wrist injury prompts Bruce to send Tim home early, Bruce is horrified to receive a call from Jack the next morning saying Tim is missing. Try as they might neither man can find Tim. And Tim at last discovers what happens to the long lost Dick Grayson: he was abducted by the Court of Owls and trained to be a Talon along with the resurrected Jason Todd. Now, they have their eyes set on him.

8 Title: we could put some roots down Word Count: 14378 Genre: Fluff, Romance, Drama Fandom/Universe: DCU (pre-New-52), Nightwing, Deathstroke Characters/Pairings: Slade Wilson/Dick Grayson, Batam Warnings: family drama, Bruce Wayne’s A+ Parenting, mention of Catalina Flores Rating: PG-13/Teen Summary: A set of multiple vignettes that center on Dick and Slade as they interact with the other members of the Batfam as Tim and Bruce come home to act as a catalyst of change. Dick grapples with what Bruce’s return means for his time as Batman while Jason teases that his relationship with Slade might be moving to the next stage. Dick and Tim finally get closure and the ability to clear the air between them while engaging in a bit of brotherly bonding and teasing. As always, Alfred holds all the answers. The story takes place mainly on the grounds of Wayne Manor, in the Bat Cave, or inside the Manor itself. The timeframe of the story takes place over the course of a few weeks to a month.

9 Title: Scarlet Tears Word Count: 12,857 Genre: Action/Adventure Fandom/Universe: The Flash Characters/Pairings: Barry Allen/Leonard Snart Warnings: mpreg Rating: Explicit Summary: Leonard Snart decided to take a break from the Legends, with Mick in tow. They head back to Central City, only to find Team Flash in a bit of trouble…well not the team just Barry. A young Meta causes trouble with her power exactly what is her deal?

11 Title: When You Move, I Move Word Count: 9150 Genre: Fantasy, Action/Adventure Fandom/Universe: Batman, Nightwing, Red Hood and the Outlaws Characters/Pairings: Dick Grayson/Jason Todd, Dick Grayson/Catalina Flores, Dick Grayson & Damian Wayne, Jason Todd & Damian Wayne Warnings: Non-Con/Dub-Con (non-graphic) Rating: R Summary: Despite having been in love with one another since they were children, Crown Prince Richard and Dragon Slayer Jason are faced with the fact that they are bound by duty and law to never marry. King Bruce manages to come up with a plan that would allow the pair to remain close and for Richard to fulfill his duty as the future king. He proposes a marriage of convenience to a woman, Catalina of House Flores, who is on the brink of permanent maidenhood after having been passed over by too many men in the past. And though she was aware that the future king would never love her, Catalina grows bitter and jealous over the love between the two men and the love her and Richard’s son shares with that man. So she calls upon the help of a crone to curse both men to live this life and all future lives close to one another but never allowing them to be together. And though the crone grants the curse she places a contingency: if one of them were to die before their 18th birthday then the curse would be lifted and they would be reunited to share the love they have been denied. When Dick and Jason come into contact with the god Fate in their current life, the pair are made aware of what had been stolen from them decades in the past and shown that because of Jason’s untimely death at the age of 15, the curse has been lifted. And Jason is finally given the answer as to why he was awoken in his grave all those years prior. With the truth laid out before them, the pair must figure out what it means for them in this lifetime and all future ones.

15 Title: (Better Things to do than) Chasing White Rabbits Word Count: 4k of what will likely be 6k Genre: Romcom and action/adventure Fandom/Universe: DC, Pacific Rim Characters/Pairings: Slade Wilson/Dick Grayson Warnings: violence, swearing, slurs (Gipsy Danger is the canon name of a jaeger), overprotective parent Bruce Wayne, sexual innuendo, secret identities, Slade's canonical bad parenting (but at least he's trying to work on that), accidental relationship, family drama, frenemies to lovers Rating: Explicit just in case, though I don't think sex will happen until the next installment in the series Summary: Rumor has it that Dick Grayson can drift with anyone. Slade Wilson has the opposite problem, and kids. Killing kaiju may be easier than parenting, and that's with Grayson playing mediator when he inevitably messes up. Dick, meanwhile, is tired of Bruce overstepping boundaries, and Slade just offered him a chance to help a villain redeem himself while also rubbing B's nose in the fact that clinging so tightly is more likely to drive all his kids away than make anyone want to stay. Even Nightwing has a rep for cheerful spite. Stacker Pentecost is too tired for this; he's got a daughter pushing to join the program, said program to run, and the Becket brothers are enough of a headache. That said, if an internationally wanted mercenary is truly willing to join the program, he'll welcome Deathstroke. He just doesn't want to lose Grayson in the process, or the Wayne family funding for the program. Jason, meanwhile, wins Best Brother accolades, and not just for donning Nightwing while Dick pilots giant robots.

18 Title: Coffee Shop Love Word Count: 7,494 Genre: Fluff, Romance, Crossover, Alternate Canon Fandom/Universe: DC Comics/MCU Characters/Pairings: Dick Grayson/Tim Drake/James "Bucky" Barnes, Owens/Pru/Z, Conner, Cassie, Bruce/Diana, Bart, Cassie/Cass, Jason/Roy/Kory Warnings: None Rating: PG-13 Summary: Five years ago, Tim Drake saved Bruce and walked away from his so-called family and with Owens, Z, Pru and Bucky Barnes the Winter Solider and started up a small coffee shop with only Conner, Cass, Bart, Cassie and Alfred knowing where he is. Tim was happy until the day the Bats and the Avengers found him. Dick has never forgiven himself for driving away Tim, he longs to make things right with him, even if they never become anything but brothers but those plans are derailed when it comes clear to him that James "Bucky" Barnes has more than friendly feelings for Tim. Soon it becomes Dick vs. Bucky for Tim's heart. Tim just wishes that they would have asked him first.

23 Title: With Blood and Rage of Crimson Red Word Count: 6,968 Genre: Angst, Action/Adventure Fandom/Universe: DCU, Batfam, Lantern Corps Characters/Pairings: Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Hal Jordan, Guy Gardener, John Stewart, Bleez, Rankorr, no pairings (however, I might include hints of Batlantern (HalxBruce) later) Warnings: Canon-Typical Violence, mentions of past underage attempted rape, mentions of past drug use, mentions of past child abuse Rating: PG-13 Summary: Jason was only 11 when his life was irreversibly changed. Now the newest member of the Red Lantern Corps, he is immediately thrust into a dangerous game where losing could mean death. With practically half the villains in the universe after him and the rest of the Lantern Corps, Jason must watch his step at every corner. To overcome this threat and find a way to save himself and the people he cares for, Jason must first overcome his own inner demons and learn to trust himself and the people around him. This story is set on multiple planets throughout the DC Universe. On Earth, we see Gotham City, the Batcave, and the Watchtower, in space, they travel to Ysmault and other planets that I made up for the purpose fo the fic (so you will have mostly free reign with the design of those planets if you choose to draw scenes involving them). This story involves canon-typical violence throughout. At the start, there are mentions of child abuse, and there is camera footage shown of attempted rape of a minor, but nothing explicit. At the start of the story, Catherine Todd is found by Jason post-OD and that is mentioned a few times throughout the story. The abuse and attempted rape are mentioned a little throughout the story, but not much, as it is not the focus, rather a back story for Jason. Other than that, there is no smut, or even pairings (unless I decide to do the Batlantern, but that will be a minor background pairing). There might be some language, but it is kept to a minimum.

26 Title: Hearts Beating Side by Side Word Count: 3,600 Genre: Romance, Drama Fandom/Universe: Young Justice Verse Characters/Pairings: Garth - Tempest/Kaldur'ahm/Dick Grayson Warnings: Threesome, misunderstanding, pining, dirty talk Rating: Summary: On the precipice of changes in their lives, Garth and Kaldur find a momentary reunion and the repressed childhood love that they have both harbored for the other is reignited. But the weekend won't be an easy fall into long awaited love. Nightwing has reappeared after months of silence in the guise of his civilian persona, Dickie Wayne-Grayson. And even though he's playing the part of full-time playboy, Garth can see the spark that Dick lights within Kaldur. And it's not a one-sided feeling. A weekend of diplomacy is consumed by Garth and Dick's competing jealousy; each believing Kaldur has eyes for the other. Garth thinks Dick is leading Kaldur on, and Dick thinks Garth has won Kaldur's heart before the weekend even began. They bicker, and banter, until they Bang It Out. When Kaldur catches them, there's guilt, and confessions and polyamorous negotiations.

~ ~ ~

30 Title: There Be Dragons Word Count: 6425 words Genre: Urban Fantasy, Dragons Fandom/Universe: Batman Characters/Pairings: JayDick Warnings: Descriptions of burning buildings, violence, some gore Rating: M Summary: In Gotham, there be dragons. A pureblood dragon, Bruce revolved his vigilante persona around his ancestry, to become, Dragonman. Dick’s dragonhood was a direct result of Bruce’s ingenious DNA bonding–a gift he now refuses to use. For a moment in his life, however, he tolerated it, for Jason. Then Jason died. For six months, as far as Dick and Bludhaven was concerned, there were no goddamn dragons. Then one night, fire licked the sky. No matter how fast Dick ran, swung and flew, it was too damn late. A casino was razed to the ground. Human bodies stacked in piles. The shadow of a red dragon’s wings flapped in a distance. There was no question, however impossible, who did it. Dick couldn’t believe it. Dick wouldn’t believe it. This dragon flew around in Dick’s city on a raging warpath, knowing more than he was letting on. Dick intended to find it, and stop it.

~ ~ ~

31 Title: When the Winds are Howling Strong Word Count: 3040 Genre: Found family, omegaverse, no capes AU Fandom/Universe: Batfam, Red Hood and the Outlaws Characters/Pairings: Jason Todd, Dick Grayson Warnings: Implied non graphic rape, intersex omegas, severe misogyny against omegas. Dick is a cop but he’s on leave through 90% of the fic Rating: PG-13/Teen. Nothing is graphic, but the topics are heavy Summary: Dick signed up to be a foster alpha, but never expected that he would actually be given an omega. Then Gorden’s men find an gang’s omega in heat and in bad shape. Since most foster alphas are searching for a mate, Dick is given custody over the omega. Jason was pulled off the streets by Joker’s gang when he was fifteen and life’s only gotten worse from there. As a gang omega, Jason served mostly as a form of recreation for the other gang members. After four years in hell, Jason’s given up all hope of escape. He’s got a new alpha who seems decent, but past experience has taught him those are the worst ones. Found family is the core of this fic. Dick helps Jason with his reintroduction into society/introduction to Gotham’s high society and both are forced to confront their internalized prejudices against other castes. It’s set in Gotham and explores both the slums and the glitzier districts. Jason and other male omegas will be depicted as wearing more feminine styles, including dresses and skirts. Key scenes: Dick taking custody of Jason, Dick and Jason growing used to each other, Tim and Damian meeting Jason by accident, Jason dumping out all of Dick’s liquor cabinet, Dick taking Jason shopping, Jason meeting Bruce and Alfred, Dick takes Jason to a gala and they work through a meltdown, Jason shows Dick where he used to live before Penguin and Joker, Dick and Jason fight after finding out everything Jason did in the gangs, Sheila makes an appearance, Jason is induced into an artificial heat, Dick and Bruce find Jason who is already making progress to rescue himself, End by Jason cutting the ribbon to an omega shelter.

~ ~ ~

34 Title: Bruce Wayne, the Court of… Word Count: 4035 Genre: AU, humor, fluff, angst Fandom/Universe: Batman comics, Nightwing comics, Red Hood and the Outlaws comics, Batman: Under the Red Hood Characters/Pairings: Dick Grayson/Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne Warnings: rape, death, beating, abuse, violence, spoilers for: Forever Evil arc, Court of Owls arc, recent Nightwing comic arc, recent Batman comic arc, Red Hood and the Outlaws #25, Batman and Red Hood #20 Rating: T/Teen And Up Audiences /PG14+ Summary: Bruce had made many mistakes in his life. The most horrifying and disastrous were the ones involving his family. The way he treated them, deceived, hurt and used finally blew in his face and he had to face the consequences. There was no forgiveness for him now, not from any of them. But maybe there was a way to avoid it all. This story is meant as a fix-it to all the mess the canon turned into. While the story focuses on talking about canonical events there are a lot of headcanon/fanon/tropes put into it as well ie. romantic relationship between adopted brothers. And although the topics discussed are serious matters the fic itself is slightly crackish. The story takes place in Gotham during the Batman: Under the Red Hood events. At first the action is placed all over the city: rooftops, docks, parking lot, train station; for it to narrow down to an abandoned hotel room.
