#let them be brothers

[ditzybat]

damian: i'm going to kill your brother.

jon: kon? what did he do this time?

damian: drake and your brother have been consorting behind father's back and have been defiling various parts of the manor, while drake is of lesser status he still carries the wayne name and is sullying it with his choice in companionship.

jon: ya know you can just say you care about your older brother and want to give his boyfriend the shovel talk, right?

damian, flushed: that is not what i said, i simply need to determine his intentions lest he finds himself on the lesser on of my blade!

jon: mhm, whatever the voices tell you dami

Damian being secretly upset when he outgrows Tim because he was the only one small enough for Tim to carry which made him feel special

And when Tim finds out he carries him around the batcave to prove little brother will never be too big to carry

(Tim ends up pulling a muscle and being bedridden the next day but he doesn’t tell anyone cuz it was worth it to see Damian smile)

This came to me in a dream

Dick, 17, sitting at the bat computer working on a case: hey Jason, can you grab me a snack from the kitchen?

Jason, 11, chilling out in the cave after training: no get it yourself

Dick, about to pull the ultimate older brother move: I bet you can’t do it in under two minutes

Jason, already standing up: screw you I totally could

Dick, taking out his phone: I’ll time you

Okay so I was talking to @unabashednerd the other day and we were talking about how Jason was probably in town for a bit before the whole red hood arc. Which means that Jason was probably in Gotham when Tim hired an actor to pretend to be his uncle right?

So what if Tim hires Jason to be the actor playing his uncle instead who ever (idk I haven't gotten that far past wargames yet)

anyways point is can you imagine the shenanigans? especially if Tim doesn't realize that this random stranger is Jason Todd back from the dead.

Brother bonding ensues especially after Jason realizes exactly how much of a walking disaster his replacement is.

And what about after Tim figures out that his fake uncle is the red hood, because you know he would. Because imagine the identity shenanigans. Tim tries to figure out how to bring up the red hood to Jason without revealing that he's Robin. Meanwhile Jason is very well aware that Tim is Robin and is trying to hide the fact that he's red hood and has beef with batman.

And that's on top of the both of them doing their very best to hide the whole thing from the bats

It would be chaotic, and angsty, and fluffy, and just great

Anyways I'm writing this fic right now and the first two chapters will be up in like 2-3 days so reply if you wanna get tagged when I post them

like i know it’s probably out of character but i think it would be really funny if Tim’s friends thought his older brother(s) were really cool

like you know when you were like a freshman in high school and there was always one kid with a sibling who was like the senior quarterback or something, and everyone just thought that was so neat? (pls tell me this is not a unique experience)

like just once i want bart to be like “oh my god you’re having dinner with nightwing that’s so cool oh my god” and tim’s like ??? yes??? we have dinner like twice a week???

or kon comes over to find jason digging through tim’s files for something and he’s like holy shit tim red hood is in your HOUSE and tim’s been sick of jason’s shit since he got there three hours ago so he’s like ya and i really wish he wasn’t

There’s something painful about the way Cas hugs the Gabriel illusion in s9ep18 Meta Fiction.

Because in his eyes this is the Archangel Gabriel, who most likely was around when he first existed because in Changing Channels Gabriel calls him by his name and Cas recognises him, so it wasn’t that they never met.

I think the thing that makes the false interaction painful is that Gabriel likens himself to Cas, “It’s got to be someone like us, somebody different.”

He says like us, and by saying that Cas is no longer alone, he is no longer the only Angel that is ‘lost’ or defective and that’s why he hugs Gabriel, not just because he was ready to sacrifice himself or because he put his full belief in Cas, but because for the first time ever Cas wasn’t the only ‘broken’ angel, and him being different was a positive thing.

I remember way back around October, I was in irl Mrs. Barah's English class, opening up the word document which held a rant I had typed the night before. This was the rant:

Jason blinked. “Who’s Tim Drake?” Jackie shook her head, eyes wide. “He’s only the legend and leader of the school. You know, a lot of people compare him to the likes of a mafia boss?” “Like, here’s a freshman who is an actual 12-year-old. Easy bait, right?” a student piped up. “Wrong. The so-called “12-year-old” is not only academically smart, but also politically smart.” Another student nodded, saying, “It had been barely three months and he already had blackmail on half the bullies in the school. He made deals and truces with the other half of the bullies. The minor ones cower before him, because in a span of three months, he’s managed to become all chummy-chummy with the big guys, when they’ve been trying for three years.” “No one has met a single person in the history of the school who is friends with the bullies, the students, and the teachers,” Jackie added. “Plus, he’s offering homework help and occasionally accepting candy as payment? Well, sign me up. Actually, I did sign up. I’m almost getting all grades above B on my final report card.” Alexander added ominously, “Majority of the girls think he’s adorable. The majority of the boys think he’s cool. The mean girls bend to his every will. The jocks give him hi-fives and fist bumps in the corridors and stick up for him in P.E. Not that he needs much, he’s so smart that he used freaking science to defeat everyone in dodgeball. Something about velocity reducing when standing at the very back? I don’t know, man.” One of the other students said, “The nerds ask him for tips on how to play chess and dungeons and dragons. The older theater kids ask him out for group milkshake parties. The prom queen and king asked him to be a chaperone on their first date. The teachers think he's a charm.“ “And all the janitors keep him up to date on new facilities and latest gossip,” a janitor walking by said. “We even made a copy of every key at the school for him, don’t tell the staff though.” Jackie turned back to Jason, “The kid is a legend. A real legend known under the name of Timothy Jackson Drake."

Obviously it's edited to be more comprehensible and integrated in the fic, but that was the gist of it. And from that rant, I wrote two series (and some fics in the Mafia Files and Packages that other cool writers co-wrote).

Two series that has been going on for a full year now.

But today, they both end. The whole AU ends. And it does so, with this fic:

Thanks for being here

When the Truth Unveiled event drops, I am expecting a dramatic reveal that Li Xiao is Li Ling's older brother.

I want no less than a heartbreaking flashback, from Li Xiao's POV as he watches his baby bro grow more and more wild and takes on being an officer (police? Military? Somefin else??) and climbing the ranks in a twisted, pseudo-selfish way to protect Li Ling from continuing on a path being on the front lines.

Something along the lines of "if I can remove the threats or the severity of the threats altogether, Li Ling won't need to be in danger" or "You might've become an esper and protected our family, but as our youngest- you shouldn't have had too take on that responsibility"

You know, what I think dislyte is trying to do with all these "older sibling union members/younger sibling decree members" dynamics, except you know, not clearly as black/white. Also, Li Xiao is explictly NOT shadow decree.

Because Robin!jason and nightwing!dick have a similar age gap to me and my younger brother here are somethings based off personal experience

- dick has bitten Jason’s finger for poking him too much

- Jason does that little kid thing where he sings to himself and makes sound effects

- if Jason is being annoying dick will pin him down under his leg and tickle him

- despite having an age gap of like 7 years they still have constant beef because that’s what siblings do

- anytime dick is on his phone Jason asks “are you texting your girl/boyfriend

-Jason does the iPad kid thing of like sitting half on the couch/ weird uncomfortable position thing while reading

- dick purposefully misuses slang to bother him even though he does actually know what it means

- Dick casually picking up and throwing Jason

- Jason calling Dick out literally any time he swears

- Jason got all of his music taste from Dick going through his cunty discowing phase so even when he comes back he still has the same playlist dick listened to when he was 18

- Dick bribing Jason into silence with treats

- the casual lies that older siblings tell younger siblings like “stop taking that bandaid off your finger. Last year I cut my finger open and the doctor said if it got infected they’d have to cut it off, do you want your finger cut off?”

Continuing my 'let Dick and Jason be brothers' bullshit—

What if after Bruce slit Jason's throat with the batarang and left with the Joker, Dick found Jason and brought him home after stabilizing him. Jason is really angry and volatile at first but as Dick nurses him back to health he starts to relax and bond with Dick. They still have their ups and downs (they definitely hash out their previous grievances with each other), but Jason finds out that Dick killed the Joker for him and Dick disowns Bruce for nearly killing Jason.

Eventually Bludhaven gains a new anti-hero and maybe everything isn't great but they're together and they're getting along and they're brothers. They know the other has their back no matter what.

I've just written almost five pages of what is probably a cathartic release for me. It's rough, and a little rambly, and it's not for the published story I'm working on so I don't know if anyone else is ever going to see it.

But writing it has almost made me cry. And I think that is worth it in itself. I can decide what to do with it later.

Among some emotions I didn't know that I was feeling and the way that came out through Regulus, I also realized that I really am a sucker for the Black brothers being good brothers.

They love each other! Let them love each other!

These brothers I swear... 😭
