What do you think about the fab five polycule
(Dick x donna x wally x garth x roy)
i'll be SO honest i wish i had like. insightful interesting opinions on them but i've always been a Young Justice kid and sort of. breezed past consuming Fab Five Teen Titans content-
but of what i *do* know, from the few comics i've read with these characters is this is one of the best ships for Dick, honestly. it always deeply annoys me when fanon content breezes past the Titans as if they're just some distant teammates and not some of Dick's closest friends, if not a second family. *especially* the Fab Five. for most, if not all of them, it's the first time getting to actually connect with other teen heroes. so there's something fun about how sort of terrible they are at it, at first. they all care about each other a lot. but they're kind of chucked into the deep figuring out how to work with each other and get along with *very* different personalities, so it's fun to see where the conflict comes.
as a ship, i do really love it. the Titans are a family. like we call a lot of teams found families, but for the Fab Five, that shit is the truest. they depend on each other and trust each other. when Dick and Bruce are on outs and Bruce fires him, he goes to the Titans.
i also enjoy how, to an extent, all of them are outsiders of some kind. Donna is alone in a new world she's never experienced, the same as Garth. Roy is still new and awkward to living the rich life with Oliver. Wally doesn't connect to his parents well. and of course, Dick has lost his parents and only has Bruce, who isn't the most emotionally available. of course they're going to cling to each other, as the first people they can really develop connections too. they're very clingy with each other and i think that's both cute and *fun* to explore like, codependency issues with them. how protective they can be of each other, how they default to trusting each other over their mentors, etc. it's all very interesting for a polycule, especially since for most of them, it's their first real relationship. i'm a big fan of "none of us know what dating looks like bc we've had such strange childhoods so we don't understand the Rules very well. we're all just going to date each other bc why would i date only one of you. do teamups count as dates now." vibes with teenage polycules. and the Fab Five just. have that on lock. they each fulfill a different "niche" in the group. Garth is the softer, more emotional one you can go to if you're upset. Donna is the one for planning bright fun trips and making sure you don't wallow. Roy is protective and can pretend to be suave, but he shows affection through gift giving and grand gestures where words fail him. Wally can cheer any of them up with jokes and distractions. and of course Dick is the logical one who makes sure they all keep their heads on and don't drown in the responsibility.
overall i think it's a really cute ship and i do wish i just. knew more about them to be able to write them/read fic of it because i do love their dynamic. and i'm just a firm believer in the Titans being Dick's family, just as important to him as the Batfam. they're a disaster and for that you gotta love them.
#necrotic answerings#fab five#ty for asking!!#i love getting asks liek this even if on things i don't know a ton about#i think the only real comics i've read of the fab five are world's finest: teen titans and teen titans: year one#and some of the silver age stuff but only ever for the plot not for those characters specifically#so like. i know enough to vaguely understand the characters#but i did have to approach it from the perspective of dick bc obviously i know him the best#i am interested in reading more about garth. he's a little cutie. i love him.#he seems very easy to whump. you could do a lot of dead dove things to that boy.#also this is darker in concept#but i find the way bruce dislikes the titans and dick working with them pretty fascinating#bc the reasonable answer is it's the first time dick is operating outside of bruce and it just gives bruce anxiety#but the *fun* answer is: brudick vs fab five polycule#where bruce is hyper possessive of dick developing other potentially romantic bonds#or just bonds in general#so he tries to come in between it#if i ever wrote a fab five polycule fic#that's the route i would take personally. very dark controlling brudick with the titans slowly taking notice and growing more concerned#otherwise tho i leave this ship to be written by ppl who understand them more#bc i know next to nothing about a lot of them#dick and roy i understand#garth i'm interested in#couldn't tell you much about wally or donna tho#and i prefer wally as flash when i do read him. bc he's a disaster man.#i really haven't read much titans content in general i fear#i've read some new teen titans for like. slade content and whatnot#and some of the 2003 run but besides that. i was always on the yj side of the fence#that said i will say *as* a core four truther#the fab five are *always* going to be closer as a team than the core four.

What is going on w roy and keeley this season like genuinely
#do they. not know what to do w keeley and roy now that they're separated ?#keeley bi reveal is fun but now jack's evil so like. thanks for ruining the one ted lasso wlw rls. thank u so much for that#u know what would've been fun? shandy/keeley as the bi reveal#them being ex fwbs who start their fling up again now that they're in close proximity again and working together#it would make the whole firing shandy arc so much more nasty/personal too w/ the added component to their rls#it would. imo. give the writers more of an opportunity to give shandy more depth too#plus i think. having Keeley be the boss and realising the kind of power she has in that situation#would be. very interesting to explore w her. bc she's a Fun boss shes Nice but she accidentally creates this#unbalanced relationship w shandy that ends up blowing up in her face in the end#and she realises there are lines u have to draw as a fun boss. and also that she has to be mindful#of the power she has over ppl as a boss. how even if she has good intentions she still has to be conscious#of the stuff she says/does towards her employees#like the opposite of rebecca's arc. rebecca's was abt opening herself up#keeley's would be abt knowing how to draw lines between what's appropriate and what isn't#i have no idea what i'd do w roy on the other hand lol idk if he has anything going on he can just continue being funny w the dogs#and being jamie's new bff i guess

apparently "being like Roy Mustang" is not a healthy way to deal with your problems. Who knew? Certainly not me, and certainly not Roy Mustang.
#personal#go to premarital counseling they said#it'll be fun they said#they didn't tell me i would break down crying because apparently my dad's depression affected me WAY more than I told myself it did#apparently âthat affects how you see relationships and their rolesâ#and I guess my coping skill of being resilient and moving on really quickly is not because I'm super cool#but because I feel the need to be like my mom and be strong in case people fall apart and break so completely like my dad#and I guess I am deathly afraid of my spouse falling into depression as deep as my dad did#also I have a weird complex about being used to being picked second???#anyways#ruby overshares in the tags#but like i also think that's why i adore the character of Roy because I get it#I get the pushing everything aside and telling yourself you've dealt with it but really you've just dealt with it enough to survive#and you make yourself strong as hell and you RUN after your goals like they can save you#and like I'm not a war criminal but I get it.

YOU ARE MARRIED??!!
-Wayne Manor, Gotham-
Cass is not having a good time. From the Arkham breakout last week all the way to losing a bet with his siblings on who is going to attend the gala with Bruce. And now this annoying lady kept asking her about her preference in men or something. And Bruce can't help her since he is being occupied by those rich assholes about investment or stuff.
Vicky: So, Miss Wayne. Is it true that you have a secret boyfriend?
Cass: No.
Vicky: Then how about that pict-
Cass: I'm already married.
Vicky blue screened as Cass finished her sentence. Cass takes the chance and slips away from her before she starts barraging her with questions. Revealing that she is married may not be the smartest thing she has done but she is very annoyed at people who keep asking her about her secret significant other. If they want to ask, at least use the proper term.
Just as Cass reaches the hallway, she is scooped up by two strong arms and is carried away to the Batcave. Cass looks to her side to see Dick and Jason both holding one of her arms each and looking very pissed. Well, Dick looks very pissed. Jason looks like he is having fun. Cass doesn't struggle and just lets her brothers carry her to the Batcave to have the talk.
They put Cass on the couch and proceed to guard the exit of the cave on the off chance that she decides to escape. Not that she would because she and her husband have been thinking of breaking the news to their respective family for awhile now.
She waited for a few hours while playing on her phone. Her main phone. Not the one she used to contact her husband since this family has a lot of competent hackers. She knows that being married is like a big deal. But she doesn't expect it to be such a big deal.
When she says everyone is here, she means everyone. From all his close family all the way to Selina (Bruce's fiancee), Roy (Jason's boyfriend), Kori (Dick's wife), Kon (Tim's boyfriend), Jon (Damian's bff) and even Harley and Ivy is here. She is also pretty sure that Clark is listening from somewhere but it's not like she is trying to keep it a secret anymore, so the more people there are the less she needs to explain.
Harper: So what are we here again? I would rather be home to polish my new gun than in this cave.
Dick: Since everyone is here, I would like to apologize for calling all of you in such short notice.
A murmur ranging from 'it's fine' all the way to 'I want to sleep' sounded in the room.
Dick: Anyway, let's get to the main topic shall we. For starters, I would like to say that none of us wishes to control who you dated nor who you choose to be your partner.
Some more murmurs sounded in the room.
Dick: HOWEVER! We would really appreciate it if you wish to marry someone, at least notify one of us since being married is a big deal.
More murmurs sounded as all of them have a rough idea on what the topic going to be.
Dick: So, the person in question, would you like to explain yourself?
A spotlight lights up on top of Cass, directing all the people's attention to her. She doesn't even know there is a spotlight installed in the cave.Cass stands up and looks at the crowd. She replies, "No."
Everyone is stunned by her reply. They expect many types of replies but no is certainly not one of them.
Tim: Fuck you mean no?
Alfred: I would prefer this conversation to remain civil and proper please master Timothy. I would also like to express my extreme displeasure at the fact that I am not notified by your marriage Mistress Cassandra.
Cass goes still at Alfred's sentence. Okay, shit is really serious. As much as she loves messing with them, she would rather not have her food burnt on the inside. (No one knows how Alfred manages to do that.)
Cass: Ehem, I'm just messing with you. It is a long story but to make it short, my husband and I met when we were in Hong Kong. We met after he got roped in one of the gangs that I was busting. After we met and a little misunderstanding, he helped me to dismantle the underground drug labs across Hong Kong.
Tim: So he is also a vigilante?
Cass: Ex-vigilante. He has a daughter now so he is taking care of her.
Dick: You get pregnant?!! How? When?
Cass: I did not get pregnant. But she is technically my daughter.
Jason: Like how Lian is with me?
Cass: No. Biological daughter.
Kon: Umm, guys. I think Bruce needs to rest a little. His heart has been beating a little too fast for even him.
Dick and and Tim are closest to Bruce realizing that Bruce's face has been impossibly pale for quite a while now. They take him to an empty couch and let him lay there and rest for a while. Everyone's reactions range from amused to straight up concerned that Bruce's career as Batman might get cut short today.
It takes a while but as soon as Bruce is fine, they continue another round of questions and answers.
Bruce: How long have you been married?
Cass: Next week is our 3rd anniversary.
Duke: Wait. Didn't you plan to go to Hong Kong for some time next week? You even ask me to cover your patrol because you say you need to go somewhere.
Cass: I don't lie. I missed last year's anniversary since there was an Arkham breakout at the time.
Duke: Dude, still not cool. You are going on a date with your husband while I need to spend hours running on top of buildings around Gotham. So not fair.
Jason: Was the present you asked me to send last year also was for your husband?
Cass: Yes.
Jason: I've been your middle man all this time and I don't even know.
Barbara: I found it! This is the registration for marriage between Cassie Cain and Daniel Fenton. You used a fake name?
Cass: Yes. You will know otherwise.
Bruce: Why do you hide it?
Cass: I'm not sure all of you are gonna like him and vice versa.
Dick: Is he a bad person? I will kill him if he treats you badly.
Cass: No. He doesn't trust all of you at first.
Steph: And why is that?
Cass: He thinks the Justice League is working with the government. So by extension, all of you are associates of government to him.
Steph: Why is he running away from the government? Is he a criminal?
Barbara: No. He doesn't have any criminal records in his name. Except for the fact that he is practically nonexistent before he is 18, there is nothing wrong with him.
Tim: Is it a forged identity then?
Cass: No. The government wiped away his records.
Dick: What? Why?
Cass: I don't know.
Damian: I expect you to at least do a background check on someone before marrying them, Cain.
Dick: Did you get married with someone you barely know? Do you understand how dangerous that is? What if he just dipped you after you got married?
Cass: *Rolls her eyes* He isn't a bad person. I make sure of that at least. I know he is some sort of meta tho-
A green portal suddenly appears out of thin air making everyone be on guard except Cass. She expects Danny to come out of the portal to greet her but what comes out baffled her.
A young girl that looks a little like Cass riding on a big wolf comes out of the portal swiftly towards Cass. Everyone is just about to shoot their weapons when the girl's word shock them.
???:Mama!
Everyone: Mama?!!

What do you think of a teenage antihero reader?
Readers are the type of people who like to tease others. Of course, they also like to create chaos.
like:
Batman feels sad because his children are estranged from him.
Reader: *deliberately calls Batman papa in front of the Batkids. makes them jealous and fight to get Batman's love.* "Papa, let me join this mission.", "Papa, pocket money?"
Reader: "I wasn't adopted by Batman. Why do I call Batman papa?" *Looks at the Batkids, who look at Reader with bullet-shaped eyes* "Because it's fun and I get to watch them get jealous but can't do anything to me, haha"
Reader: Spend time with your father and I will handle your affairs. Same old account, transfer the money there. *Accepts to stay away from Batman happily because Batkids will pay Reader*
I love this!
I don't know if this is yandere or not so I'll do overall reactions and you can decide whether they end up yandere or not! (If you want proper yandere then don't be afraid to ask)
At first Dick doesn't mind, in fact he finds it odd - who would want to call Batman "Papa" or any type of name like that? Over time however he'll start to feel an odd pang in his chest, he could've been the teenager calling Bruce that, he could have had a good relationship with Bruce like how you seem to (even if you yourself are pretending). So, he gets huffy and irritable whenever he sees you. He'll find some flaw in what you do and immediately tell everyone and try to make you look bad - you don't care clearly but Dick feels like he's doing something so you pretend, kinda.
Jason at first pities you. He thinks you genuinely mean it, that you genuinely see Batman as a father figure. He's so sure that Batman is going to fail you. That is until it starts getting too much. Jason would of spoken to Roy about it over some drinks and despite what Roy would have said Jason would feel bitter and angry - he could have had that! If he didn't fall for that trap, if Joker didn't kill him, if Bruce - no, Batman, got to him in time. Jason would from then on "accidentally" stumble across missions he wasn't supposed to be there for that you and Batman would be on. He'd flip you off before bantering with Batman - you shrug it off, you don't actually have any interest in Batman being your dad.
Tim is automatically suspicious, you're known for causing chaos and judging by how everyone reacts this is probably just one of your ploys. He doesn't pay much mind but slowly gets peeved at your continuance. Haven't you had your fun already? (no, seeing the reactions of the others makes you continue). Tim digs into your civilian life - he and the others found out about it when you first appeared so as to label you as a threat or not. He'll dig up past mistakes and issues then present them to Bruce and you, subtly taunting you with your past so as to convince you to distance yourself. When you don't he gets petty, you approach Batman - he steps in front of you and blocks your path. You yell out to him - he yells louder. You want to go on a mission - oh no.. Looks like you're swamped with work AND injured :(
Damian is immediately pissed. What are you doing? You shouldn't be pretending that Batman is your father! You aren't blood - hell, you aren't even adopted! Damian, though he's gotten better, is very traditionalist (thanks to his grandfather). What you're doing - along with the chaos you cause in general - is against the proper traditional lifestyle. Is he just using that as an excuse and doesn't actually believe it? yes. Is he going to stop? no. Fuck that. Damian dreams of setting his animals on you, the only thing stopping him is that he doesn't want his poor animals to meet such a disgusting person like you. Instead, he'll stand on your toes, ignore you if you need help, stay close to Batman and try and intimidate you away.
Finally they all would of had enough and would corner you, they'd offer to pay you to stay away and you all would sort out a deal.
It'd confuse Batman as to why you're suddenly keeping your distance while his children are constantly around him. Batman has a soft spot for children - you included. He thought he was fixing you but now you're back to your old habits??? Batman would immediately be onto his children and question them. They don't crack easily so Batman checks their accounts, messages, etc until he gets enough proof that they are the reason you keep away. He's obviously disappointed and ends up trying to talk his way into you becoming one of his full allies - you obviously reject it, you don't actually care for him and prefer to not be stuck on just one side.
The others end up being forced to ask you to join back and you reject them, they threaten you that they'd stop paying you and you laugh - they've given you enough money to last a year, maybe more if you're frugal!

Jason Todd Meta: My opinion on the csa headcanon
Does Jason's behaviour suggest he was a victim of csa?
There is very little, in terms of clinical signs, thatâs going to point to csa specifically, because most symptoms, for psychiatric disorders, arenât specific to one disorder or cause. One thing thatâs usually a good hint would be children making very sexual statements/references/jokes/behaviours that are very inappropriate in context (a good example of this would be Roman Roy from Succession); night terrors are bed wettings amongst children/teenagers over a certain age. But that is absolutely not necessary: many, if not most victims of csa donât display these specific signs, and a twelve years old that suffers from night terrors is not necessarily a victim of csa. The one thing that tells you for sure, in a person with trauma, that they have been a victim of csa, is that theyâre telling you they have been a victim of csa. Iâm insisting on that part because thereâs a whole bunch of therapists (cough cough psychanalysts) that will tell you confidently that your psychiatric symptoms stem from a childhood sexual trauma (cherry on top of the shit cake if itâs incestuous) that you didnât know about because youâve repressed it. I repeat, thatâs bullshit. If you meet a clinician who tells you that, RUN. So, a warning: this is probably the least âpsychological analysisâ of my âJason psychological analysis postsâ, because Jasonâs symptoms do not allow us to conclude formally for or against a history of sexual abuse. But that doesnât mean we canât do some meta, make sure we're on the same page with what's analyzed here, some textual analysis, discuss what the csa headcanon does and does not imply in terms of his behaviour. I think itâs a good idea to start with it so we know where weâre standing with our analysis, regardless of the fact itâs maybe not the most interesting in terms of psychopathology and neuropsychology.
A couple of disclaimers:
I only talk about the comics I want to talk about. This is for two reasons, which are that 1) I do what I want and if I donât like/donât find something interesting, Iâm not gonna waste time on it; and 2) Iâve been reading comics for a couple of months only, and there are, like, a lot of them. If there are comics you wanna see analysed under that lense, feel free to suggest them! I might not want to, but it also could be that I havenât read them yet. Additionally, I'm not interested in questioning the morality of Jason's actions here. Ethics are fun, and I like talking about them sometimes, and morality sometimes has a place in talks about demonization but largely speaking this isn't the space for that. I separate talk about morality and psychology stuff as much as I can for a reason, so if you are looking here for excuses for his behaviour or arguments as to why he is a bad person, you're in the wrong place. Moral judgement is irrelevant here for the most part.
On the events of Red Hood: Lost Days:
Jason has, at some point in the comics, been a victim of csa. When Talia kisses Jason before pushing him off a cliff right after he got out of the Lazarus Pit, and when she initiates sex with him in Lost Days, thatâs not consent!! Thatâs a grown woman taking advantage of a traumatized teenager who is, on top of that, deeply indebted to her. Thatâs a predatory act, with a steep power imbalance, itâs sexual assault, and on top of that thereâs an element of suggested pseudo-incest. That decision was retconned, and thank god, because it was a brutal assassination of Taliaâs character based on a good bit of racism, and also because the way it was portrayed doesnât make it clear that Jason is a victim in a situation rather than that super annoying trope of âteenage guy gets to bang a hot MILF and hahaha lucky himâ, writing a male character in a situation of SA without acknowledging it as SA or taking it seriously is one of the tropes I hate most, it reinforces stigmatisation and isolates victims. For all of these reasons, Iâm not gonna include that element in my analysis, but itâs important to note that if you do include those scenes in your conception of it, then Jason is undeniably a victim of csa and everything discussed about it applies to him.
What if it were a lie?
Iâve said it before (and Iâll say it again), I deeply, violently hate headcanons/tropes where a character lies about being a victim of csa (whether itâs for manipulation, personal gain, any reason really I donât care). Itâs rare as fuck in real life, however itâs a common trope that feeds into fear of being wrongfully accused that causes push-back and increases social stigmatization. CSA is a painful thing associated with intense feelings of shame and already a deep fear of not being believed. Imagine making a considerable effort to seek help after something terrible happened/is happening to you, and you have to brave your fear of not being believed on top of that, and once youâve made all that effort you get rejected and villainized because itâs just easier for the person youâre reaching out to not to believe it. So Iâm awfully weary of this type of headcanon, and I think a general rule of thumb is âif your interpretation of what the character is saying is that heâs talking about how he was abused, especially if heâs talking about sexual assault, then it happened.â If you donât like that, if you donât feel like thatâs good representation, then you can question the story, think it should be retconned, or rethink your interpretation of what the character says if itâs ambiguous, but hcing that the character lied about his assault is not a hypothesis weâre going to accept here no matter what. So we can start by scratching that one out: Jason never lies about being a victim of csa, or wilfully hints at it even though thatâs untrue, at any point.
Two other ideas Iâve seen floating around that I think are worth mentioning:
No, just because Jason lived in the streets as a kid doesnât mean the only way he survived was through underage prostitution. I genuinely donât understand that idea, yes being a street kid makes you extremely vulnerable, yes it makes the risk of resolving to underage prostitution to survive higher but itâs absolutely not a fatality. That idea is, quite frankly, weird. Do you automatically assume if a real life person tells you they were in the streets for some time at a kid that they are a victim of csa? Also, I've seen the idea go around that because some people have a strong reading/hc of Jason as bi (which I have no problem with I love bi Jason), that would be an argument in favour of the csa hc. Please donât do that. Thereâs no link between queer sexual orientations and childhood sexual abuse, thatâs a harmful myth that we should work to deconstruct or, at the very least, not continue to vehiculate.
Another important thing to keep in mind: childhood sexual abuse =/= childhood sexual trauma.
Now, a traumagenic situation is a situation that might induce trauma (so development of, acute stress disorder, ptsd, cptsd, derealization, any traumatic pathology really). These situations exist on a continuum of probability to be traumatized by this situation. For example, a flood, a car accident, witnessing a murder and being sexually assaulted are all traumagenic situations, but the probability of developing trauma from them are very different. It hinges on personal, situational, social, and environmental risk factors (that have nothing to do with being weak, anybody can develop trauma). A definition for traumagenic situations can be found in the diagnostic criteria for ptsd in the dsm-5:
A. âExposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence in one (or more) of the following ways:
1. Directly experiencing the traumatic event(s).
2. Witnessing, in person, the event(s) as it occurred to others.
3. Learning that the traumatic event(s) occurred to a close family member or close friend. In cases of actual or threatened death of a family member or friend, the event(s) must have been violent or accidental.
4. Experiencing repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of the traumatic event(s) (e.g., first responders collecting human remains; police officers repeatedly exposed to details of child abuse). Note: Criterion A4 does not apply to exposure through electronic media, television, movies, or pictures, unless this exposure is work related.â
Note that the this last criteria has been added from the DSM-5 in order to explain cases of PTSD observed in at-risk jobs like cops exposed to repeated detailed child abuse, first responders collecting human remains, or, crucially, vigilantes repeatedly exposed to brutal crimes. This means that Jason, when he works on the Dumpster Slasher case, when he is horrified to find Gloria in the immediate aftermath of her rape (and later finds her dead body, because witnessing the consequences of these traumatic events is also an important component of that second-hand trauma), is being exposed to a very traumagenic situation. As I said before, that doesnât necessarily mean you will experience trauma (thank fuck for that), but there are factors that influence that. SA related situations has an already pretty high probability of inducing trauma. On top of that, age is a big factor in that: the younger you are, the less resources, emotional regulation, development and coping mechanisms to face the traumagenic event you have (though there is such a thing as âtoo young to have PTSD" -when your memory is simply not developed enough for the memory to traumatize you because you will not remember the event.) At fifteen, with his memory fully developed but his brain going through so much changes because of teenagehood and his past history, Jason would be at risk. On top of that, youâre more at risk to get traumatized if youâre already stressed out when the event happens, so Jasonâs mental state at this point in his robin run is also a risk factor. All to say, itâs very plausible for Jason to have sexual trauma without being a victim of sexual abuse in relation to canon events. Besides, in headcanon territory when it comes to Jasonâs childhood before Robin, there are so many ways to be exposed to sexual violence : witnessing/finding his mother being a victim (considering the position of extreme vulnerability Catherine was in), witnessing assault in the streets, being the victim of attempted SA and escaping, watching street kids get picked up and later find their bodies/being told by other kids, as a cautionary tale, in excruciating detail, testimonies of their own assault⌠Or for example, if weâre thinking about Arkham Knight, being constantly threatened with SA, it being hinted and joked about and hanging over him like a sword of Damocles is something I could see Joker and other inmates do that could definitely induce sexual trauma even if it doesnât happen ; what matters most, in trauma, is that the fear is real. Mechanically, when weâre looking at the way trauma works even on a biological level, the overwhelming fear is at the core of the pathology. (This is also why you can develop PTSD after a psychotic episode.) Like, my point isnât that one of these things happened to Jason, or that he has to have sexual trauma from the events of the Diplomatâs Son or anything -mostly just that this is a possibility, something very serious that happens and an important nuance that I never see in discussions on the csa headcanon, and while itâs not exactly what the debate is about, I think itâs something important to ponder.
Do you consider the csa hc to be canon?
So, there are a lot of Jason stories, and Iâm very pro ânot take in account what is said in comics you dislike in your conception of canonâ because if I did that absolutely no bat character would be readable, I have to believe that no character is defined by their worst writers. And boy, does Jason have a lot of bad writing⌠On top of the personal retcons, there are also the canon retcons: like Battle for The Cowl is retconned⌠Unless someone decides to reinject/revamp it into the narrative (please donât please donât itâs irrecuperable let it lay with the Flying Todds where it belongs). So, letâs see. There are three writers/arcs that imply/mention the csa hc: Starlinâs writing of Jasonâs post-crisis Robin Run (canon though some stuff in it seems to have been retconned), Winickâs writing in Green Arrow: Seeing Red (canon as far as I know), and Battle for the Cowl (retconned). Itâs worth noting that one of those are considered to be foundational works for Jasonâs character (Jasonâs post crisis Robin Run and Starlinâs part in it), and another was written by Winick, who wrote the other two foundational Jason stories: Under The Red Hood and Red Hood: Lost Days. On a personal level, Iâm very mitigated about what I like and accept about it. I base my whole love and characterization of Jason about his post-crisis Robin Run, I love that little guy so much, Starlinâs take on Jasonâs Robin Run is absolutely canon to me (which does not mean I like Starlin as a writer, thank you very much). On the other hand of the spectrum, the only reason Battle for the Cowl isnât my least favourite comic ever is because The Killing Joke exists, absolutely not canon, get this thing away from me. And then in the middle, my feelings on Seeing Red (on the entirety of Winickâs Jason really) vary depending on the day, because I do like a revenge story that challenges the status quo with tropes of âbad victimâ and it sets up Jason as a character based on love rather than morals which I adore, but there are also some elements of psychophobia in the writing that I (who approach stories through the filter of psychopathology first and foremost) canât just look past, and also the way it intertwines with classist stereotypes. So do I consider Seeing Red to be canon? In good faith, yes, but whether Iâll accept it as such really depends on the day. In terms of the csa headcanon: itâs heavily hinted in BTFC but not outright said, itâs there as a undercurrent in Starlinâs run because of his intention (to make Jason die of AIDS). And then we have Seeing Red. Basically Jason lists elements about Miaâs life, including her past with underage prostitution (so, just to be very clear, csa), and says theyâre very similar, having both lived on the streets, and understand having to do bad things when itâs necessary. This is not the same as saying âI was a victim of csaâ, and what heâs saying could be interpreted differently (we know that he was stealing tires, and âonly what he needs to surviveâ, so he could have been referencing small-time theft.) So, it could be a reference to something else, I totally understand why some people want to interpret differently. It just⌠Feels like such a weird and weak argument to be equating boosting tires to underage prostitution, to me itâs very ooc (in comparison to UTH Jason), and it would feel like weak writing from someone like Winick. Aka itâs not technically canon, and you donât have to accept it as such(I understand the mentality of "I'm rejecting this interpretation because it feels like demonization of csa victims" perfectly), but personally I think it takes a lot from Jasonâs character in Seeing Red and from this story in general.

OOOO what about Jamie having a huge crush on the reader so much so itâs effecting how he thinks like how he was in the show where he played against Man City. So Roy and Keeley follow him (like in the show) and see him spying/ watching (heâd never admit it) the reader whos working either as a waitress or a bookshop owner because heâs too nervous to go in. Or maybe even secret girlfriend where they follow him and accidentally meet the reader whos been in a secret relationship with Jamie. Lol I hope you can understand what I was trying to say đ
Pretty sure I picked up what you put down! Here ya go!
donât go wasting your emotion
Jamie Tartt is not acting like himself.Â
The first person to notice is Roy, because it shows in his training. He seems⌠distracted. So he mentions it to Keeley, and asks her to keep an eye out. They have some big games coming up, and Richmond cannot afford a distracted Jamie. Keeley promises sheâll check up on him soon, but Jamie just keeps getting weirder.
He jumps and hides his phone when Dani plops down next to him on the locker room bench, passes the ball to the opposing side during practice, and keeps going offside. It isnât long before the other coaches notice, as well as his teammates. The only one who doesnât seem particularly worried is Sam. When Isaac asks him if heâs noticed anything off about Jamie, Sam just shrugs and says, âItâs probably nothing. Iâm sure heâll get over it soon.â
AFC Richmond does not have time to wait. They need Jamie to get his head out of the clouds and back firmly on earth.Â
Shortly after Isaacâs talk with Sam, Colin catches Sam and Jamie whispering in the weight room. He catches snippets of words like, âcanât know,â âjust do it,â and⌠âbookstoreâ? Surely he didnât hear that right. Colin shrugs and heads to go see Trent. Heâs an investigative journalist. Heâs got to have some insight.
Colin presents this information to Trent, Ted, Beard, and Roy, none of whom have any real ideas. As they try to come up with plausible scenarios, Trent leans agains the door with his mug in quiet thought.
âYouâve been mighty quiet over there, Mr. Independent. Whatâre your thoughts?â Ted asks.Â
âIâm not sure,â Trent replies. âWe simply donât have enough facts to come to a conclusion. What we need is someone to follow Jamie after work and see if that will provide any insights.â
âIâll do it.â
The room turns to look at Roy. He looks uncomfortable. âKeeley and I have been meaning to talk to him anyway, and if he fucking catches any of you lot following him, heâll never fucking trust you again. Iâm your best choice.â
Beard looks at Ted, and they nod.Â
Ted says, âAlright Roylock Holmes. You and Dr. Jones have fun tonight. Let us know what you find out,â and thatâs that.Â
â
Roy calls Keeley and tells her the situation, and itâs not hard to find a pretense for her to be with the team. Itâs movie night, and sheâs there more often than not. They have pretty much unanimously decided on Paddington, mostly to heal Daniâs trauma from hearing the Paddington Twitter account gave Richmond no marmalade sandwiches. Thatâs what they say, at least, but if they are crying within the first fifteen minutes, thatâs not for anyone to say.Â
Jamie sits in the back and he keeps looking at his phone. Sam pokes him and Richard catches something that sounds like, âGo- canât expect- if you didnât ask,â at which Jamie nods, looks around, and then slips out the door.
âWhereâs he going?â Isaac asks Sam, who shrugs and says, âI would assume to use the restroom.â
Isaac turns back to the screen, but Roy and Keeley look at each other, nod, and quickly get up to follow Jamie.Â
They trail him out the building and down the street, watching as he puts his hood up in an effort not to be noticed. They follow him for half a mile as Jamie makes a very purposeful trek through Richmond, unaware that heâs being followed.
Keeley and Roy turn a corner then stop, because Jamie has stopped. Heâs just out of sight of some big glass windows. He checks the time, gives himself a shake, then removes his hood and pulls the door open. Keeley and Roy share a look and rush to the window.
Itâs a bookstore. The sign on the door says they close an hour from now, at 9pm. Jamie is inside leaning on the checkout counter, talking and laughing with you, the cashier.
âStarted that book you told me about,â he says. âYouâre right. I hate it.â
âRight??â you reply. âIsnât it awful? It makes no sense at all, and reading it makes you feel like youâre on drugs, and itâs supposed to be a classic! Thank god you only got it at the library and didnât have to waste money on it.â
Jamie laughs. âGot any real recommendations this time? Trying to become more cultured.âÂ
You laugh too. âYou know, youâre a lot more cultured than you think. Youâve understood most of my references, and you have an impressive vocabulary. You have a wonderful grasp on the difference between intellectual and conversational tone.â
Roy and Keeley canât tell what youâre saying, but theyâre thinking the same thing. Is Jamie blushing?
Before they can ponder this, you come out from behind the counter to lead Jamie to a shelf. You both look straight at Roy and Keeley, who duck. You turn to Jamie, humor on your face. âFriends of yours?â you quip.
âUn-fucking-fortunately,â he responds. âOi!â
Roy and Keeley slowly pop back up and Jamie exasperatedly beckons them inside.
âWhat the fuck are you doing here?â
Roy, stoic as ever, just grunts. Keeley says, âWe were worried about you! You were acting all weird and botching things at practice. We thought you were dying!â
Roy rolls his eyes. Youâre doing your best to maintain a straight face.Â
You know exactly who these people are. You know Keeley Jones because who doesnât know about Keeley Jones? You know Roy Kent because he came up as a suggested search after you googled Jamie.
Jamie has been coming into your bookshop for a while now. At first it was to look for some book about forgiveness, but after you helped him pick that out he just⌠kept coming back. Heâd lean against the counter, supported by his elbows, and stay from 8pm until closing. Usually, he was the only customer youâd get that time of night.
It wasnât lost on you that he was a) gorgeous and b) definitely flirting with you. He wasnât the first customer to fancy himself in love with you, but he was the first that you actually liked back. And the first who really read what you said you liked.
You just didnât get why he hadnât made a move yet, especially after looking him up. It didnât make sense. You considered making the first move, but that freaked you out too much. Still, despite his inaction on that front, he kept coming back and talking to you. Sometimes heâd bring you coffee. Heâd always help you close the store. You once joked that you should put him on the payroll, to which he looked at you, and deadpanned, âYou couldnât afford me.â
Youâre pretty sure thatâs the moment you actually fell for him. Youâre a sucker for a good, stupid sense of humor.
âWhy would you think I were dyin?â Jamie asks.Â
Keeley shrugs and Roy answers, âBecause youâve been playing like shit.â
Jamie glares at Roy. âI have not, you dusty old twat. You take that back.â
Keeley clears her throat. âWell, actually babes, you kind of have. Itâs been this whole thing. Everybodyâs worried about you!â
Jamie pinches the bridge of his nose. âJesus Christ. Why the fuck are you all in my business? Did Sam put you up to this?â
âWhy the fuck would Sam put us up to this?â Roy asks.
âBecause Sam caught Jamie looking at my Instagram,â you interject.
Three sets of eyes turn to you. âWhat?â you shrug. âSam looked up my handle and messaged me about it. Weâre friends now.â
Jamie shakes his head in disbelief and Roy says, âSo Sam fucking knew about this?â
The tips of Jamieâs ears turn red as he says, âUh, yeah, so Samâs been telling me I need to ask her out for like fuckin ages now. Always on me about how itâs dumb to keep checking my phone for her texts, especially because I havenât even asked for her number or some shit.â
You swear that is the dumbest, cutest thing youâve ever heard.Â
âYou want my number?â your voice comes out an octave higher than youâd like it to.
Jamie turns to you. âUh, yeah, yeah I do. Been meaninâ to ask you, but I dunno, I keep telling myself youâre just being nice to me âcause of your job. Didnât want to be fuckin weird.â
You smile. âJamie Tartt, for someone so intelligent you really are dumb sometimes.â
He looks pleased with the compliment, then offended, then he realizes what youâre saying. His face goes through those expressions in a moment and then your hand is on the back of his head, pulling him down for a kiss.
Keeley looks on with a smile and Roy stares at the ceiling uncomfortable.
You break apart and Roy says, âOi, Tartt!â
You and Jamie turn to look at him, arms still around each other.
âThis better mean youâre done fucking up practice.â
âYes coach,â Jamie mock-salutes.
Roy gives him a singular nod, and with that, he and Keeley head out the door. Keeley gives you a little wave and a thumbs up to Jamie.
âNow, where were we?â Jamie asks. âOh, rightâŚâ

warnings: language of course, and this is a little steamy but with no actual smut. my favourite genre HA
request: I canât find any good Roy fics until your recent one and Iâm dying for more đ Anyway you could write something else for him? Maybe theyâre at a bar and he gets pissed when he sees Jamie flirting w her? (Not a pre established relationship) - @kashee-h
a/n: your wish is my demand!! i'm so happy you enjoyed the first roy fic of what i hope are many to come. this one totally got away from me, i loved writing it so so much, thanks for a request that I really got to make my own! <3
---
Roy is the one whoâs invited you here. Roy is the one who trekked over to your office at the end of the working day and told you that everyone was going out that evening. Roy is the one who suggested you come, even when you seemed reluctant to join in on what appeared to be an evening for just the players and the coaches. Roy is the one who convinced you that it would be fun, that heâd make sure of it.
All of this is making it very hard for Roy to accept that you are currently sat in a corner booth with someone else. The fact that the person you seemed to be having such an in depth conversation with was Jamie fucking Tartt was the icing on a very shit cake.
He knew he could be having a better night than just sitting on a barstool trying not to watch the two of you, especially when Ted and Beard arrived to get the next round and he didnât even acknowledge them. Theyâd hired out a private room, so it was filled with people he generally tolerated the company, some heâd even go as far as to say that he liked. None of that was registering, however.Â
Jamie leans in when you canât hear something heâs said and he watches you nod solemnly, duck your head to stare at the floor as if flustered, and he wants to walk right out that door and never come back. Maybe he could get a job at Chelsea, or something.
âNow, whatâs wrong, Jeremy Strong?â Ted asks, and Roy has to bite back a âfuck offâ so hard he wonders if his lip is bleeding, âYou look just about ready to start wreckinâ the place.â
Out of the corner of Royâs eye, he sees Beard lean in to whisper in Tedâs ear and points over at you. Ted looks surprised. Roy does not want to deal with this.
âYouâre tellingâ me our very own Mr Kent has his eyes on our very own Miss Y/L/N? Well, thatâs just great! Sheâs sweet as anythinâ, good for you, Roy.â
âSheâs sweet on Jamie fucking Tartt, more like,â he says, even though he knows heâs being so fucking unfair. He hates it about himself. He knows how hard heâs worked on these feelings, on frustration and anger and jealousy, knows that a few years ago heâd be getting ready to fight Jamie down an alley further through tonight. Now heâs done that work, however, he can recognise the overriding feeling that heâs actually just hurt and thatâs so much worse. Itâs much easier to be jealous than upset.
âDoes this call for an impromptu meeting of the Diamond Dogs?â Ted asks brightly and Roy is only able to stop him after his second howl. Higgins has looked over briefly but Beard signals him to stay where he is.
âFuck no,â Roy blurts out, then reconsiders. Maybe he could at least talk to Ted, âI just- I was going to tell her. Tonight.â
âTell her what?â Tedâs doing that thing where he bats his eyelashes like heâs in some sort of rom-com. Beardâs got his head resting in his hand, looking similarly up at Roy. Theyâre insufferable.Â
âThat I fucking like her, okay? Take those fucking looks off your faces.â
Ted and Beard scramble to look normal but come up short. Tedâs got the awful kind of shit-eating grin on his face that he gets when he sees Sam and Jamie hugging or watches Isaac doing his handshakes with everyone before a game.
âSo, youâve been spending time together? Or are you telling her out of the blue?â Beard pipes up.
Roy thinks that over. Youâve been spending a lot of time together actually. More than anyone at the club would probably even believe. He slips away to your office to eat lunch under the guise of needing a break from the American Circus downstairs. You text him when youâve brought in ice cream because you know heâll never say no to ice cream. Youâve met Phoebe. That one was by accident in the park, but you stuck around for four fucking hours and nobody made you.
Still, he wonders whether it would be completely shocking to you or whether youâve been waiting for him to make a proper move. Youâre incredibly difficult to read alongside being so stupidly pretty that sometimes he wants to swear less around you. He doesnât manage it, of course, but he thinks it.
âYes, weâve spent time together. No, I donât know what that means. Probably doesnât mean shit to her, not that it would be her fault if she doesn't.â
Ted and Beard tilt their heads simultaneously at him and he wishes he could bash their heads together for a moment.
âBut it means somethinâ to you, hey coach? I donât think Miss Y/N sittinâ with Jamie should stop you from tellin' her how you feel about âer, hey coach?â
Royâs lost track of which coach Ted is even talking to, but Beard chimes in.
âSurely her spending time with Jamie should be all the more incentive to tell her. Find out how she feels. Get that crushing disappointment out of the way now. Itâs only downhill from here.â
Roy raises a brow at him as Ted gives him a look. Beard sighs, then picks up his drink and seems to disappear. Ted leans into Roy.
âHim and Jane are on a break again, Iâm sorry. Look Iâm goinâ to have to go find him but he was right, until he wasnât. Go get âer, Ross Gellar!â
And with that, Tedâs gone too, weaving his way through crowds of people until heâs lost to them. When Roy glances back in your direction, Jamieâs got Colin and Isaac beside him instead and youâre nowhere to be found. He sighs and stands from his barstool, making his way to the exit. Maybe heâd think about what Ted and Beard had said tomorrow: for now, he just wanted to go home.
Except for the fact that when he finally managed to push his way outside to breathe in some fresh air, he found you. Leaning against the wall of the club, with definite tears in your eyes, even under the dim street lamp light. He was going to murder Jamie Tartt, slowly, with rope and paint and suffering involved.
But he knew to take a slightly softer approach with you. If at all possible.
âHey,â he says quietly, trying not to startle you. You're quick to look up at him, startled anyway, and he grits his teeth as he asks, âAre you alright?â
He doesnât make any comment about what the fuck Jamie had done to you. Doesnât think it would be received all that well. Again, heâs biting the inside of his lip harder than ever.
âYes! Oh god, yes, sorry,â youâre blinking furiously. He admires your resolve when the nearly teary face is quickly replaced by that bright smile that makes him weaker in the knees than he already is, âFuck, sorry. Iâm all good. Iâm not sure this is my scene, I was just going to call a taxi.â
Thereâs an opening. Heâll be damned if heâs not taking it, even though confessing anything is the furthest idea from his mind - heâs much more focused on making sure youâre okay and nobodyâs done anything to hurt you. If they have, he's already resigned to a short stint in jail if necessary.
âDo you want to walk?â
âUh, I mean not really. Itâs quite late, soâŚâ
âWith me, I mean,â he quickly clarified, wanting to bash his head against the brick wall, âI could walk you home, if you wanted. Or not. Thatâs fine too.â
âOh, right,â youâre looking down at your feet as you contemplate it, âThat would be nice, if youâre sure. Thank you.â
âItâs nothing,â he insists, falling into step beside you as you begin to walk. He wants to give you his jacket and maybe his shirt too with the way youâre shivering, but he canât bring himself to do it. Heâs a fucking coward, but he will get to the bottom of whatâs the matter if its the last thing he does, âYou gonna tell me whatâs wrong now?â
You huff out a frustrated sigh, at him, at yourself, he isnât sure.
âI made a fucking fool of myself tonight,â you say eventually, and he canât even imagine you doing that, âI thoughtâŚgod, it doesnât matter what I thought. Everything just feels worse when itsâŚ1:30 in the morning, donât you think?â
Youâd lifted his hand to check his watch before you said the time. Again, he wanted to hold on, but he let you drop his hand and it just went limp.
âIt fucking does, yeah. Donât think you could make a fucking fool of yourself if you tried though. Not around us lot.â
Your family, he heard Tedâs voice in his head. He was not fucking saying that. To his surprise, you let out a loud bark of a laugh at his words and he was staring at the side of your face as you spoke out into the dark air.
âI thought you were coming to pick me up tonight, you know?â you began, and his heart drops to his shoes. Youâre upset about him?
âWhat?â
âSomething you said earlier, when you asked me to come. You asked where I lived, then told me it would be a twenty minute walk to get there. Then you said âsee you at sevenâ.â
He could have stopped walking. He had said that, but he was just trying to help you plan out your timings for the evening - youâd mentioned to him once that you were known for having some time blindness when you were getting ready for things. Of course he should have realised how fucking stupid that was, how much that sounded like he would come and walk with you.
He would have fucking loved to walk with you.
âFuck!â he exclaimed, far too loudly for the quiet night that surrounded you. You carried on undeterred, shaking your head. He could see your frustration was at yourself now, and he hated himself even more than he had earlier.
âMy fault for assuming, I know. But thatâs why I was so late. And when I arrived, trying talk myself into not feeling like a twat, you were already over with Dani and Isaac and Bumbercatch, clearly never intending to come pick me up. Which, why would you, of course. I justâŚfelt shit. Jamie tried to help, bless him, but I just wanted to go home, honestly.â
Roy is the biggest idiot on the planet. He wants to go back into the club and hug Jamie for looking after you, then ask him to punch him in the face. Roy could punch something, anything right now, but he just grits his teeth.
âIâm-â he grunts when his voice comes out all strangled, âIâm really fucking sorry, Y/N. Iâm the fucking twat. I was asking where you lived and that to help you with that fucking time blindness thing you told me about. Shouldâve known how it sounded though. Fucking idiot.â
He directed the last comment at himself, kicking a stone heâd found on the pavement. He kept his eyes firmly trained on his shoes as the two of you continued walking, now at a significantly slower pace. Your eyes were burning a hole in the side of his face.
There was a silence that stretched on as you stared at him, until-
âFucking hell,â you groaned, âThatâs so fucking sweet. Youâre the worst.â
He doesnât know if he can remember being called sweet before. Phoebe was often excessively complimentary of him in a way that made him uncomfortable, but sweet had never come up. He didnât feel sweet.
âI am the worst,â he grunted, spiralling, âMaking you feel so shit. Ruining your fucking night. I was the one who convinced you in the first place and now youâve had a shit fucking time and Iâm the worst.â
Heâs a little out of breath and loud again by the end of his rant. The two of you have stopped walking. You kick the toe of your heel against his shoe, placating.
âNo, youâre the worst âcause you keep giving me all this hope. I fucking hate hope, no matter what Ted says,â you chuckle to yourself, and heâs not sure what youâre saying but heâs peering into your now smiling expression as he tries to work it out, âLook, do you like me or not? Youâre a good guy Roy and either way, Iâm grateful that youâre walking me home. I just think if I ask, maybe I can just feel like a twat for the night and get it over with by tomorrow.â
âDo IâŚlike you?â
He sounds thick. He feels thick. Feels like his mouth is full of honey that his tongue is having to wade through to even speak to you. Itâs stuck to the bottom of his mouth, heavy.
âYeah. As in, do you just enjoy eating lunch with me or do you ever look at me and just want to kiss me? Cause I do that all the fucking time, Roy, but I canât be arsed to dance around it anymore.â
You look really tired as you stare up at him, but he feels more energised than ever. Youâve both just established that heâs the absolute worst, and yet here he is, with everything he couldâve wanted right in front of him. You, looking fucking gorgeous and looking at him like that? Even getting a job at Chelsea wouldnât help him against you - he was gone.
Thereâs a smirk on his face that he canât bite back as he takes your face in both his hands and revels in the gasp he can pull from you. He should have known youâd be the first to say something. You werenât the coward he was.
âLetâs not fuck about then, yeah?â
Low and breathy. You respond with a nod so eager that heâs practically grinning when he pulls you in. Itâs quickly replaced by a hunger heâs been keeping at bay, allowing his hands to slide into your hair as he deepens the kiss almost as soon as itâs started. He can feel your hands clutching at the lapels on his jacket, but heâs more excited when you throw your arms around his neck instead, tugging on the hair at the base of his head.
He growls and you actually whimper. Itâs like heâs been set on fucking fire. Like heâs been struck by lightning.
When he pulls away for air, you stay close, peppering kisses along the scruff of his jaw, up the side of his face and back down again. He holds you to him tightly around your waist and feels wanted. Heâs wanted you for so long, but to be wanted in return, so openly, itâs both hot and meaningful. Heâs not sure anyoneâs ever told him they liked him before. Most models heâd dated were pretty sold on the idea that he had to make all the moves.
Still, when you begin trailing kisses down his neck and thereâs a hand on the top button of his shirt, he has enough sense about him to stop you. Even if he really doesnât want to.
âI donât know what street this is,â he breathes out, low voice little more than a rumble, âBut maybe we don't give your neighbours a fucking show.â
You look thoroughly kissed when you look back at him, but he doesnât think itâll ever be enough. He leans in to kiss you once more to punctuate his sentence, watching as you duck your head, all shy, even though your arms are still around him. He knows now that when you ducked your head with Jamie, you were embarrassed. This is you properly flustered and itâs one of his favourite looks on you.
âGood call, yeah. Okay. Iâm- Iâm just around this corner, I think.â
âYou think?â
âShut up, you,â you whack him lightly on the shoulder, as the two of you resume walking, âThink you can make it all the way there?â
âIâd carry you if my knee wasnât fucked,â he admits, watching you with a lopsided smile, âReally fucking like you, by the way. If that wasnât proof. Thought you should hear me fucking say it.â
You close your eyes in a little half laugh - giddy, he thinks.Â
âWell, I did wonder. Weâve spent a lot of time together the last few weeks for someone who doesnât like spending time with people.â
âYour first clue,â he agrees, taking your hand with pride now as the two of you keep walking, turning the corner towards your house. The pace is a lot quicker than it was before. He hopes he knows why, âIâll be less of a fucking idiot now. Promise.â
âEh, donât worry,â you shrug, letting go of his hand only to thread your arm through his and take hold of his hand again, even tighter, âNothing sexier than fucking idiots. I like my men with no thoughts behind their eyes.â
He properly laughs at that, head tilted back, feeling your head against his arm as you laugh with him. You slow down, gesturing left. Your house. The two of you walk down the drive until youâre at the door, face to face again and Roy is having a small internal battle.
âLook, I know you said no show for the neighbours,â you begin, almost nervously, âBut does that mean aâŚprivate show is totally off the table too?â
He watches you picking at your nails. Canât help it. He pulls you in for another breathless kiss, just to watch you come alive again, confident and fucking into him, however much of a miracle it seems. You pull away this time, clearly keen for an answer, but he groans.
âTryinâ to be a fucking gentleman, here. Why donât we do dinner tomorrow? Proper date. And Iâll fucking pick you up.â
You giggle. Still, thereâs a glint in your eyes, as you sigh melodramatically.
âThat does sound nice. Only thing is, there could be an intruder in here, you know? So, and Iâll only ask once more and then I promise Iâll let you go if you say no, but maybe you should walk me to my bedroom? To make sure Iâm safe, you know? And then you can pay for my breakfast in the morning like a good old fashioned gentleman, if you want.â
Youâre looking up at him, all hopeful again. His resolve is dwindling. You spin your keys around one finger and its a simple gesture, but itâs the final straw.
âIâm paying for your fucking lunch too,â he growls, diving into you once again. Heâs beside himself when he hears you mutter a faint âthank fuckâ as you fumble to unlock the door and all but drag him inside.

If any of that makes you uncomfortable, please do not read.
this could be a multi part fic. It was fun to write and I enjoy the dynamic so lemme know if u enjoyed!!!
Heâs barely out of you by the time he says it this time. âThatâs the last fuckinâ time I do this shit, weâre doneâ. He spits it at you like itâs acid on his tongue.Â
Youâre lying on your bed completely naked as his come is slowly dripping out of you onto your linen. The first few times youâd done this, you put on fresh linen and lit a floral candle. He never appreciated it so you stopped. His statement would hurt you a lot more if this wasnât becoming a regular occurrence. Itâs become a routine; something it was never supposed to be.Â
He visits your home, fucks you however you want him to, makes you come as many times as he can, he feels guilt as soon as he finishes, he splashes cold water over his face in your en suite bathroom (leaves it in puddles across your tiled floor and organised surfaces) and then grabs his things and storms out. Heâll be back before the end of the week- he always is.
Youâre getting tired of it. It should be harder now he has a girlfriend and youâre seeing a few guys from the local area. But it isnât. Youâre unsure why.
He tells you he hasnât slept with Glenda yet. His daddy loves her, thinks sheâs the sweetest thing heâs ever seen and heâs been vocal about his dislike of you. You think heâs a fucking idiot so you guess itâs good that the feeling is mutual. Gator canât be with anyone his daddy doesnât like, youâve heard him brag about how he could get any gal he wants but you know itâs not true. Youâre pretty sure that Gator knows that as well deep down.Â
You were sleeping together before he got with Glenda. Glenda is a church girl and his daddyâs protege. Roy sets them up and tells Gator heâs been blessed to have Glenda enter his life. Whereas, Roy thinks you have sin in your heart and you know that you do. You believe him that he hasnât slept with her yet, if he does- it makes the whole relationship real. This is something that you know Gator is trying to avoid. His head is buried deep beneath the sand and heâs trying to find air holes to catch his breath before he suffocates.Â
Youâre sleeping with other people, like Jax from the local store and Steve from the bar. Neither know about each other or about your Gator situation. Jax and Steve take you out on dates and fuck you in their cars and their homes. Itâs passionate and sweet. Itâs filled with promises and hope. Gator fucks you like heâs trying to get expel something deadly from his body. Gatorâs a terrible person and you know that you are too. This is why youâre done with him, not for Glenda or Roy Tillman. Certainly not for Jax and Steve. Youâre done because you want him to want you more than he ever has before. Heâs an asshole and you want him more desperate than ever for you. You hear him spit in your sink as he comes back into the bedroom.Â
âYou say this shit all the time Gator. What if Iâm done with you huh?â Youâre still naked and you can feel his cum drying on your inner thighs.
âYouâre the one who always comes crawlinâ back to me remember? Jusâ a fuckinâ whore- thatâs why I liked usinâ you though so donât take it personalâ. He giggles cruelly as he shrugs his jacket back on.Â
His words donât hurt, a few months ago they wouldâve made your stomach drop and tears prick in your eyes. But now? It just fuels you.Â
âGo back to Glenda, Gatorâ. That will hurt him. You never say her name, you only do it because that sentence is the equivalent of a scorching red hot poker branding his sensitive skin.Â
âDonât say her fuckinâ nameâ. Anger flashes across his eyes. âI am so fuckinâ done with you and I mean itâ. You want to laugh at how powerful he perceives his words to be.Â
âYou say fuckinâ shit you donât mean all the time Gator. Itâs like breathing to youâ. You wrap a bedsheet around you and get up to stand in front of him.Â
âThatâs it then, youâre done with this right?â He nods. âI donât wanna see your fuckinâ face or hear from you again. Donât text me, donât casually come into my work and donât fuckinâ turn up here.
Get the fuck out of my fuckinâ house, Gatorâ
***
Two weeks pass with nothing. You canât say youâre not impressed. He doesnât glance at you when you see him on the street. He doesnât call or text.Â
Glenda shares pictures on Facebook of the pair of them. She looks happy and he looks uncomfortable. You think that that sums up the entire relationship. You know heâs going to break and speak to you; itâs just waiting.
You carry on seeing Jax and Steve. Jax takes you to a drive in movie theatre and goes down on you on the backseat for the entire movie. He buys you your favourite candies and chips for the ride there and back. He makes you laugh and asks if you want to make it official- you tell him you donât. He asks when he can see you again.Â
Steve takes you to a new steakhouse. He gets you a bottle of red wine and when you donât like how your steak is cooked; he swaps your plates. You go back to his place and ride him on the couch in his living room. You spend the entire time thinking about how you couldnât do this with Gator because he lives with his daddy. Before you leave, Steve gives you a necklace with your birthstone on. He tells you how much you mean to him, you thank him and drive home.Â
You donât miss Gator. You donât feel positively about him at all. You just like that he wants you and you like the power you hold over him. If you wanted to ruin his life you could. You could tell his daddy and Glenda that he loves fucking a sinner. That heâs fucked you in every possible way they could imagine and he loves it. You could tell them about how heâs been that pussydrunk on you; heâs told you heâs in love with you. Or maybe about how after you ate his ass on his daddyâs dining room table, he told you he wanted to run away with you and that heâd already looked into it and started storing money away. You didnât say anything back to him, you just stored away these love drunk confessions so you could use them against him.Â
Gator Tillman is the worst guy you know.
And he makes you feel fucking powerful.
***
It takes 4 weeks in total for him to break.Â
[received on Monday at 04:32] GatorđđŠ: are u going to the church potluck on Saturday
[received on Monday at 10:12] GatorđđŠ: just bc u went last year, know itâs not ur scene tho.Â
[received on Monday at 15:05] GatorđđŠ: im goin with Glenda so just donât want it to be awkward
[received at Tuesday at 01:54] GatorđđŠ: ?? Do you have a new number?Â
He calls you three times on Wednesday.Â
You ignore every text and every ring.Â
His patrol car is parked over the street from you on Thursday. He knows you leave for work at half 6 in the morning. You know youâll see him again, probably during lunch as he is so fucking predictable. Every Thursday, you go for a bagel at a local deli because you love the mid week special. You can already picture his car parked outside there on the curb waiting for you. So you know itâs a great time to invite your new, very handsome, colleague called Jenson along. Jenson is new to the department and is a quarterback for a local team. Heâs made his attraction to you pretty clear, he brings in a coffee for you every morning and has asked you out for drinks before.Â
You offer to drive Jenson to the deli and, of course, Gatorâs car is parked out front. He sees you but you donât look at him. You can feel his eyes burning into you and Jenson. You grip Jensonâs bicep and throw your head back in a giggle and something mediocrely funny that he said. As you get closer to Gatorâs car, you politely smile at him and squeeze Jensonâs arm tighter.Â
[received on Thursday at 21:45] GatorđđŠ: Jenson Ackerley????? really??? that guys a fuckin asshold
[received on Thursday at 22:35] GatorđđŠ: *asshole
Instead of replying to Gator, you spend Thursday evening exchanging flirty texts with Jenson. You invite him to the Potluck on Sunday and ask if he wants to come back to your place for dessert.Â
***
He reaches new levels of desperation on Friday.
âHi, itâs Joe on reception. Iâm really sorry to disturb you on your lunch. I have Sheriff Tillman here and he just wants to come to your office if thatâs okay?â
Youâre sat alone preparing for the rest of your day when Joeâs call comes through. Jenson has finished early for the day and gave you a bouquet of flowers before he left. He smiled when he gave them to you and said he couldnât wait to spend the day with you on Sunday.Â
Youâre excited as well but for a different reason.
âHi Joe, Iâm sorry but can you tell Gator that Iâm just having my lunch with Mr Ackerley so I donât have time for a chatâ
You can hear Gator speaking in the distance after Joe relays your message to him.
âHe says it will only take a few minutesâ
âCan you apologise for me Joe and tell him that Mr Ackerley and I will see him on Sunday at his Fatherâs potluckâ
You hear Joe recite the message verbatim for Gator. Although you canât see it, you can imagine the look of disgust on his face and it makes you grin.
You spend Friday evening texting Jenson and telling him in detail what youâre going to do when you get back to your home on Sunday. He asks if you want to âskip straight to dessertâ and miss the potluck. You tell him you canât because youâre planning to see a friend. You donât tell him who it is.
***
You wear an outfit you know Gator will love on Sunday. Itâs a pale green flouncy dress which pushes your tits up and looks amazing. Your hair is half up half down and your make up is dewy with a strawberry scented lip gloss brushed over your lips. You text Jenson and ask him to bring an extra coat for you to wear because youâll be cold. He doesnât ask why you donât just wear your own.
Jenson tells you how beautiful you look on your doorstep and he hands you another bouquet. Itâs white peonies and he says it nearly matches your outfit. As you laugh at him, you pull his face to yours to kiss him. He drives to the potluck in his truck and you listen to a country album heâs been telling you about. You havenât brought a meal but Jensonâs mom has made some pasta salad so youâll pass that off as your own. His hand stays on your upper thigh the entire ride.
The first person you see at the potluck is Glenda. She looks great, you have to admit. Her blonde hair is in a tight bun sitting at the nape of her neck. Her dress is long, black and covers her body. A diamond crucifix hangs around her neck and you know that Roy made his son buy that for her as a token of his love for her.
You and Glenda donât get on. You know she doesnât suspect anything about you and Gator; her mind wouldnât even dare think about it. Youâve known her since high school and you could lie and say that the only reason you donât like her is because you existed in different social groups. It isnât because of that. Itâs because Glenda is a truly and fundamentally awful person. You recognised in your younger years that she enjoyed making people miserable. Shaming people about their relationships to god and judging everyone from afar.
She smiles politely at Jenson as he puts his hand on your lower back. She tries not to scowl at you as you hand her the dish of pasta salad. You know she thinks you look like a slut, sheâll definitely run to her friends and tell them about how disgraceful it is that youâve come into a church community looking like a whore. You smile harder when you think about how Gator has fucked you in his patrol car whilst you wore this dress.
Jenson goes to the grand table in the centre of the hall. As heâs pouring a cup of punch for both of you, he gets accosted by two of Glendaâs friends who take their time complimenting him all the while smirking at you. You feel a presence next to you, you cross your arms to push your tits higher as you turn around.
âOh, hi Roy, didnât hear you sneakinâ up on meâ. Your grin to him is saccharine and he snarls in response.
âI donât remember invitinâ you to this, for the church community only. A community you are not part of so itâs time to goâ. His voice is gruff and as you go to respond; you see Gator.
You make eye contact across the hall. He looked stressed and then as soon as he saw you; it flickered to what you can only imagine is rage. Glenda is talking away at him and heâs not looking at her. His eyes are trailing up and down your body. He recognises the dress. Jenson obscures your view as he stands in front of you holding out a cup of punch. He wraps his arm around you and whispers lowly in your ear that heâs spiked both of your cups with liquor from his flask. You giggle back at him, get on your tiptoes and press a soft kiss to his jaw.
Although you think it would be hilarious, you want to avoid an interaction with you, Jenson, Glenda and Gator. At this point, youâre unsure if Gatorâs heart could take it. Jenson gets pulled away by Glendaâs friends to help arrange the plates for the potluck dishes and of course he does it. He kisses you before he goes and as your lips touch; your eyes never leave Gatorâs.
***
It takes twenty minutes for him to grab your wrist and pull you into an empty room. Everyone is too preoccupied with grabbing plates to notice you both leave.
âReal fuckinâ nice. Cominâ here dressed like a fuckinâ slut and canât keep your fuckinâ hands off some shitty quarterback. You know what people think of you, right?â Heâs in your face, the spit from his lips is hitting your mouth and cheeks.Â
Heâs so mad.
And, of course, you fucking love it.
âSurprisingly Gator, I donât give a fuck what your fuckinâ church girl or asshole daddy think of meâŚI know what you think about me thoughâ. You move in closer to him and he doesnât try to back away. His eyes bore into yours and you can hear him try to steady his breath. You can imagine his heart thundering away in his chest. You rest your hands on his vest and slowly unzip it.
âYou think Iâm a good girl. Youâve said it before- remember? Youâve said it when you fucked me in your patrol carâŚâ
Your fingers move to unbutton his shirt.
âYou whispered it to me when Glenda was downstairs and you had me on my knees sucking your cock in your daddyâs bathroomâŚshe had no idea we were in there did she?â You giggle lightly as you feel his heart rate thumping quickly under your fingers.
âAnd you definitely thought I was a good girl that time you fucked my ass in your bed. Remember? We used the handcuffs, I think you called it me a few timesâŚyeah you definitely did. You said I was such a good fucking girlâ.
His shirt is half unbuttoned and his chest is basically heaving under the strain of his rapid heartbeat. You can feel his hard dick pressing into you, you smile at him and take a step back.
âI gotta go though, Jenson is probably waiting for me. Weâll probably shoot off soon, he said- he said, ha, that weâd have dessert back at my place. Who knows? Maybe heâll get lucky tonightâŚhe probably thinks Iâm a good girl too. Maybe I can be his good girl from now onâ.
He storms past you, his shoulder barging into yours on his way past and for a second, youâre devastated. Maybe you pushed him too far? Are you going to have to wait another four weeks for him to cave.
But he doesnât leave.
He just locks the door and pushes a table against it as quietly as he can.
***
He grabs your hips and pulls them towards him.
âYou fuckinâ feel that right? You feel how fuckinâ hard you make me. Iâve had this since I fuckinâ left your place four weeks ago. I fuckinâ hate youâŚIâve fuckinâ missed youâ. Youâre not sure you would classify it as a kiss, itâs more like heâs shoving his face against yours.
He runs his hand through your hair and grips it; the power of it forces you to open your mouth. You stick your tongue out and give him your best doe eyes. He smirks and nibbles your jaw. Hard but not hard enough to leave any kind of mark. You maintain eye contact as he spits in your mouth. He raises his eyebrows at you and you swallow without objection. He smirks as you open your mouth and stick your tongue back out.
He kisses your neck and bites it lightly as you fight the urge to run your hands through his hair (Heaven forbid you mess up his slicked back hair).
âBaby, we gotta be quick. They might come lookinâ for usâ he mumbles against your neck.
You go to bend over the table pushed against the door but Gator stops you before you can flip your dress up to grant him access.
âNo baby, I need to see you. Missed your fuckinâ face too muchâŚwanna watch you get eâen prettier when I make you comeâÂ
He kisses you hard as he pushes you down against the table. He gets on his knees in front of you like your pussy is a biblical experience. He kisses your clit through your lace underwear and gently nips it with his teeth.Â
âGator, we donât have time to teaseâ you try your hardest not to moan outwardly as you speak. You canât let him know how much heâs affecting you, even though how wet heâs making you has completely given it away.Â
He rips your underwear off and pulls your tits out of your dress. He takes them between his hands and rolls your nipples with his thumb and forefinger. You can hear him mumbling under his breath but you canât work out what heâs saying. He always gets transfixed with your boobs.Â
He doesnât warn you as he notches his cock into you. Youâre wet enough that he slides in with one motion. Heâs on your mouth before thereâs a chance for a moan to slip out. He thrusts into you slow and deep, he nudges your g spot and your eyes roll back into your head as he slips his tongue into your mouth.Â
The only sounds filling the room is the soft rhythmic creak of the wooden table, the steady thrusts of Gatorâs cock into you and the stifled moans slipping into each others mouths. Itâs all too much, the noises, Gatorâs cock perfectly grazing your g spot, his tongue in your mouth and the thought that heâs doing this mere feet away from his daddy and girlfriend. Your orgasm hits you out of nowhere and as you squeeze his cock, Gator puts his hand over your mouth and shushes you but he doesnât stop fucking you. Your eyes roll into the back of his head as you hear him curse above you. This is the most intense sex youâve ever had with him.Â
It is so worth the wait.
You know heâs getting close; he has obvious tells that you could recite perfectly. His left leg starts to twitch, his mouth slightly hangs open and his eyes glaze over. He also either gets sentimental or speaks like heâs in a shitty Brazzers porn video. This time itâs a mix of the two.Â
âTake my fuckinâ come, you take it so fuckinâ good. Itâs all yours- itâs all yoursâ. He thrusts hard inside you twice before he stills. He rests his forehead against yours and presses a soft kiss to your lips.  You allow yourself a few seconds to enjoy his tenderness.Â
You readjust your dress as Gator moves the table away from the door. You slip on Jensonâs coat as you walk over to the locked door.Â
âI meant what I said yâknowâŚIâve missed youâ. Again, youâre back in the routine. You know it well and you canât deny how much you enjoy it. Heâs going to ask to fuck you tonight, heâll promise that itâll be special- thatâs what he usually says.Â
He moves to interlock his pinky finger with yours.Â
âGet rid of Jenson and let me come round tonight. Tell him youâre sick or somethinâ. I wannaâŚI mean⌠I gotta to make it up to you. Iâll tell Glenda that I picked up an extra shift. That gives us all night anâ we can take our timeâ.Â
As you open your mouth to respond, you hear a knock on the door and Jensonâs voice calling out.Â
âYou in there hon? I think Iâm gonna head outâŚreally fancy dessert. Yâknow, if you catch my driftâ.Â
***Â
You tell Jenson in the car that youâre not feeling well. Heâs a good guy and offers to stay and look after you. When you say no, he asks for a coffee date later this week and you agree.
As you see his reverse out of your driveway; you text Gator that he can come round if heâs here in the next hour.Â
Heâs back in your bed in less than forty minutes.

my mother said something really interesting about this episode (yes, she also watches the show and is a huge fan of dani rojas just like me) and itâs been stuck in my head ever since. she said: âit seems to me like this whole episode was about intimacyâ
and like⌠yeah! thatâs exactly it! the amsterdam trip set the perfect scene for it too, because people are normally a little more laxďżź on vacation, a little more adventurous, a little more lenient and able to put themselves out there.
you have the pretty obvious contenders for this point: rebecca having her little fling with that nameless bald man and learning to open herself up to real connection and intimacy again, to be able to envision for herself a life and a love that is unmoored to her past with rupert and is able to exist in its own little intimate pocket. youâve got jamie and roy learning to trust in each other, to be intimate and vulnerable about their pasts and about their present situations too (especially for roy, who is still right now a man who would rather break up with the woman he loves that admit, that he doesnât think heâs good enough for her). and you also have, of course, the true soul of the episode, which was colin and trentâs discussion, and how colin feels that ache to be able to show the more intimate parts of him to the world the way heterosexual couples do, to be able to merge his intimate personal life with his fun if not a little reserved professional life. how to achieve a balance between intimacy and privacy.
and then you have the less obvious ones maybe, like higgins and will going to the jazz clubâ which isnât really that hard to decipher when you think about it. it is, after all, where higgins opens up about an intimate detail of his love for jazz, and then gets to share his previously very intimate and private activity of playing the bass with the crowd. he even starts the night complaining of how exposed their seats feel, and ends up standing on the stage by the end of it. and, of course, will potentially had a threesome. so thereâs a kind of intimacy for you. the one that truly isnât obvious is the team pillow fight which honestly, I think is just a way of showing that sometimes a more intimate, fun yet indoor activity makes for better memories than something like a sex show or a club, which are both very grand and exciting yet impersonal and detached kinds of activities.
then of course you have ted, who is sort of lacking what my mother called an intimacy with himself. heâs been feeling a little lost, a little âstuckâ as he put it. and I donât think he understood why until this episode, until this adventure he went on with the museum and the american themed restaurant. it was a way for him to spend quality time with himself, to be alone with his thoughts while still not totally unable to absorb his surroundings and learn something. and in exploring his more intimate thoughts he was able to think of something really good! something that will make him a better coach!
and yeah, when itâs framed in this way I think this episode was sooooo killer. I love seeing people open up a little bit, to show these deep and intimate parts of their being. itâs so so so good.

Omg mate, If Conner win pregnant reader, I hope we get romantic Jason in smalltown reader (I want it all and I have not shame, I never found reverse harem romantic yandere batfam!! *cries in spanish*).
Also I still think Dick and Roy screaming at Roy would have been funny.
But, BUT, these asks and answers about Lex Luthor sold Conner to me, not gonna lie. although "father who step in" It seems very idyllic to me? (I'm a cynic at heart and I feel maybe Reader would have some doubts too) I wonder how you would put it. I don't know, something more slow burn, toasting in hell when yandere.
Check out, @sophiethewitch1's What We Want series for a Romantic Reverse Harem Batfam. (I follow it on AO3 just to make sure I get the updates!)
I do have a scene with Smalltown!Reader and Jason in mind that I think you (y'all) might like. I was going to include it in Part 8, but Part 8 is getting kinda long and it wouldn't fit thematically. (I also need to rewrite the Jason obsession. And make tow different versions. Busy busy busy)
As for the Lex Luthor thing. I think he just start taking care of Reader as a purely pscyhologal tacitic and Reader would doubt him too. Most defindetly.
But, how I characterize Conner, and this is just me, is as someone that craves to be human and to be his own person.
Deep down he wants to embrace that human side he has, because it's one of the things that separates him from Clark. Of course, he and Clark have a ton of similarities. The stealing Smalltown!Reader to a farm thing, while something Clark would do, Conner would still be himself. (Looking like a punk farmer, blasting music while working on farm equipment, maybe taking Reader to a local bar and having fun punching everyone that looks at them and flirting with Reader.)
I don't wanna go to into detail though, gotta save something for the story. lol

There was this post a little while back suggesting that Beard gets kicked out by Jane and moves in with Higgins and thatâs very narratively satisfying and right, given that Leslieâs the one person daring to tell Beard that his relationship with Jane isnât, you know, great. However, Iâm a Roy & Jamie girl at heart, so I couldnât help but wonder what would happen if Beard instead moved in with his fellow fan of few words, ie one Roy Kent.
Say, for instance, that Roy and Jamie are fucking/dating/what have you and Jamie gets it into his pretty, silly head that they can somehow hide the fact from Beard. Roy tells him stop being an idiot, of course heâs going to know if heâs staying here, only way to keep it from him if you keep away until he finds another place to live, and fuck no, Iâm not moving in with you, how the fuck would I explain that, and anyway your fucking headboard would give me a migraine.
Well, Jamie says mulishly, Iâm not staying away.
Fine, Roy says, secretly a little relieved. So heâll know. Big fucking deal.
And in this version of events Roy really is cool with it, because it has to come out sooner or later and heâs not ashamed and itâs not like Beardâs gonna say anything (Roy may or may not be mistaken in this assumption), and anyway, heâs Roy Kent, he does whatever the hell he wants, okay. Only Jamie doesnât accept that, because he has this strong and somewhat misguided notion that he needs to defend Royâs honour by not letting anyone suspect heâs fucking his player. So Jamie starts making up increasingly absurd excuses as to why he should show up at Royâs place like having some work done at my house and Roy was concerned Iâd be breathing in poisonous fumes, yeah, so he said I had to come over here and um, Coach, I think I strained my calf today, could you maybe take a look here in the bedroom âcause my back hurts too and I need to lay down and yeah, Beardâs eyebrows are not as psychotic as Royâs but they certainly climb and climb and climb. Later in the evening he just glances at Roy, so, you and Jamie, huh? And Roy shrugs, unconcerned, yeah, and pours himself another cup of tea. He doesnât tell Jamie that theyâve been made, though; itâs still kind of fun watching the muppet make a fool of himself. Besides, the idea of their encounters being particularly illicit seems to really get Jamie going, so.
Alternatively, Jamie agrees to stay away, and then proceeds to do everything in his power to set Beard up with someone else so that Beard can be happy and move in with his new friend and Jamie can go back to shagging his grumpy old boyfriend all over the house. The attempts are predictably absurd, but also oddly sweet (âcause Jamie wants the relationship to last, right, so that Beard doesnât come knocking on Royâs door again anytime soon, so obviously he needs to find someone properly nice, but itâs hard for him to figure what nice means to someone as odd as Beard).
(These two scenarios work if Keeleyâs part of the mix, too, btw. She can either join in Jamieâs antics because sheâs a weird girl at heart, or she can be the voice of reason if a voice of reason is what gets you going.)
Or say that Roy and Jamie really are just friends (for the moment, at least) and itâs Roy that gets a little nervous about Beard realizing just how close they are. Like, heâs reluctantly cool with everyone knowing that Jaime is his favourite player (though of course heâd deny it if someone dared say it to his face) or them knowing that Roy spends stupid amounts of time torturing training Jamie, but heâs not quite comfortable having people know that they also just⌠hang out. That Roy cooks Jamie dinner. Leaves Phoebe with him when Royâs busy with a coaching crisis. That they watch stupid shit on the telly together, and that Roy doesnât complain (much) when Jamie curls up to him like a cat. That stuffâs private, all right? So he stops having Jamie over, starts brushing him off, and at first Jamieâs undeterred because if he let Royâs grumpiness get to him heâd never not be gotten to, but Roy persists and Jamie starts to wilt, hurt and confused. In the end, Beard â wise, all-seeing Beard â fixes Roy with one long stare and notes that thereâs nothing wrong with having a friend, Coach. Plenty wrong with being shit to the ones youâve got, though, and Roy doesnât even yell fuck he just stands there, stony like, until he jerks a short nod and stalks off to make things up to Jamie.
Anyway, the idea of Beard bearing witness to Roy and/or Jamie being particularly ridiculous about each other is very funny, to me.
(I tried to hunt down that original post because even though I didnât want to add to it and derail OPâs poignant take with my Roy & Jamie obsession, I still want to credit them for the original idea. Couldnât find it, however, but please give me a shout if you have a link. Aha! @coachbeards is the original galaxy brain!)
#it's royjamie crack o'clock again#i just like it when one of them is being very silly/very fucked up you know?#they take turns#roy kent#jamie tartt#coach beard#royjamie#roy & jamie#my stuff

Just wanted to say for the record that I am 100% here for every iteration of Oliver parenting/parent-in-lawing Jason that you can come up with. Seriously. I will read and love literally every single thing that you write in which Jason and Ollie have any kind of positive interaction and/or in which Ollie is an objectively better dad than Bruce, especially to Bruceâs own kids.
My biggest disappointment since getting into Jayroy as a ship has been the lack of good Oliver & Jason content. Thereâs so much potential there, both of the hilarious and angsty variety. (Second biggest disappointment is the lack of good Dinah & Jason content. Partly because I think theyâd get along and partly because I feel like it would somehow translate to Jason in fishnets which is my ultimate dream.)
They're so important to me, I'm happy that you like it too! I was also missing having them interact in most of Jayroy content, so, you know, gotta do it yourself lmao. How Oliver has a worse reputation as a parent than many others (*cough Bruce cough*) is beyond me. Oliver and Jason are both interesting and enjoyable characters for me to write, and examining them and their potential dynamic is so so fun. It's also just very healing for me, to have someone come from such a dysfunctional life and dynamics in their home and see that you can truly get better and have other people in your life without having to constantly watch yourself and your every move so you don't get judged and condemned.
Also you had such a good timing, I just thought today that I need to ramp up with Dinah & Jason interactions. Dinah is such an important person to Roy, so it would make sense that she would be interacting with Jason a lot, too. So, gotta get with that too!
#the arrowfam is the best I swear#pushes Jason towards them: go my child have a healthy family dynamic for once in your life#getting a good unconditional hug from a parent does something for you#every time I write good parent bruce it is the child in me who watched btas coping with the comics because ahahah wtf#but yeah ollie and dinah superior parents propaganda that shouldn't even be propaganda more coming at five#dc#jayroy#jason todd#oliver queen

____
âKen- you know this isnât my scene.â Your voice goes quiet, simply just peering at your brother, anxious for his reaction.
Heâs been a bit of a pain in the ass lately, the whole family was a pain in your ass lately, but perhaps it was always this way. The Roy family created chaos and unnecessary drama, that was a given. It was something you tried to detach yourself from; the business, the craze, the constant chatterâ it all drained you. From the moment you were born, it was as if your family was screaming from all sides whether it be Roman and Shiv fighting over shit all, or your dad blowing up in your faces.
You always knew that you didnât fit into the puzzle. You were born a little bit too late, grew up with faint glances of your older siblings, and dismissed like the baby you were. Maybe that was the reason you never considered joining Waystar, or perhaps why a place was never offered.Â
Your dad was your dad, perpetually disappointed in you â while at the same time maintaining that you were his favourite. You all knew it was Shiv, but the very fact he insisted that it was you made you villain number one to your siblings.Â
So there you were, their little sister who was a fucking writer, twiddling with your ungroomed thumbs, waiting for your family to forget who you were. That being said, it was a surprise when you opened your email to find a very flashy invite to Kendallâs 40th. You didnât think that your brother would want what he perceived as his Debbie Downer boring little sister at his grandiose douche fest.
âCome the fuck on, itâs my party, Bambi, cheer up, enjoy yourself for once,â Kendall says. âCome on, Iâll take you somewhere special.â As heâs about to leave, you stop him, placing a hand on his arm.
âWait, Ken. I have a gift for you.â You hand him an envelope, âI didnât want it getting lost in the mix.â Â
Kendall stops with his buzzing, which is probably coke-induced and takes the envelope from your hands. âThanks.â
âYouâre welcome,â you sigh as you watch your brother tuck the envelope into his coat.Â
He quickly puts a hand on your shoulder before he starts to navigate you around, waving and fistbumping his friends walking by. As quickly as you had gained Kendallâs attention, it faded away from you, as he yelled over at his assistant who seemed new, but you werenât around enough to know. âYo! Comfrey, ship up my little sis to the treehouse.â
His assistant â Comfrey, who you knew had definitely been speed walking away from her boss before he hollered out at her â whipped her head towards the both of you. You were the odd couple, Kendallâs glazed over eyes and dopey smile mixed with your grimacing under his touch. âComing!â
Kendall gives you a pat on the headâ a move he often did in childhood, his eyes dead as always as he gives you a good-enough smirk, âYou should avoid the other sibs, theyâre strictly business right now â serious work only.â
You smile at his unconscious insinuation. You weren't a serious person to them. You werenât anything you guessed, âHave fun, okay Ken? And try not to be a complete dick tonight,â you ask before Comfrey pulls me away and Kendall saunters off.Â
You watch your brother from the corner of your eyes, and quickly try to keep up with the bouncing ponytail of his young assistant. The hollowness in your chest that used to exist â that there would be ten years ago â had disappeared now, you were completely okay with the empty promises and empty phrases.Â
Itâs what you grew up on. Raised in the top two floors of the highest buildings in New York, the Scottish highlands with your fatherâs forgotten castles, or in sprawling ranches in the middle of nowhere for tax purposes. At least that was the childhood you had with the Logan Roy experience.
After Uncle Ewanâs wife passed away, when you went to her funeral with your whole family, Dad decided that heâd leave his youngest with his brother to build your character. Your siblings were already almost in college and you were, well, the youngest and still complaining about multiplication and school field trips. So, from then on, you distanced yourself. Not entirely by your own volition, but every decision after was. And you prayed that every decision following would be as well.
As you try to keep pace with the taller woman, âSo Comfrey, howâd you become Kendallâs assistant?âÂ
The woman turns around for a second to get a glance at the youngest Roy, she presses her lips together before curtly responding, âIâm his PR rep.â
All you do is hum in understanding, she was a PR rep that was running around like a low-level worker bee trying to satiate her older brother. It was like all people in their lives.Â
You pass by the flashing lights, tall glass windows, and strange art installations, not so much admiring them, more like begging to just dissolve into the floor. To melt like the witch in the Wizard of Oz would be your opus, your ooey-gooey pile of person simply having a hard time leaching onto the rich person floors.
When you spot the all-too-familiar treehouse you wince. It seemed that Kendallâs childhood trauma manifested in an exuberant part of his fortieth birthday party. âThis is Kendallâs little sister, sheâs cool.â Comfrey motions the guards behind her, as you stand awkwardly â it looked like they needed visible confirmation you were you? It took them a second for their heads to look at your orientation.Â
While they make way for you, opening up the roped fence, you thank Comfrey, then watch her scatter away, and hurry away probably to clean up Kendallâs inevitable fuck-ups.Â
She was nice enough, you guessed; could be worse.Â
You wandered through the treehouse with no purpose, staring at the tree trunk columns that looked borderline tacky and its leaf-casted shadows on the walls. You werenât alone in the room, no there was a boatload of Kendallâs rager hedge fund friends, or celebrities whose faces you remember enough to dart away from â but still, you were alone. You felt eyes on you, people knew that you were a Roy, but eyes donât give you company.Â
The space was large enough to walk around for a few minutes, but eventually, you assumed you just looked out-of-place. Pacing around like a failed dracula, circling his already knowing victims. So you resigned yourself to a couch near a wall, praying that nobody approaches you. At least you wouldnât be sneak-attacked from the back. That was your worst fucking nightmare â a hand on your back and a networking LinkedIn smiley techie.Â
Leaning into the couchâs thin leather you try to get comfortable. The lights were bright enough you hoped, to not âruin the vibeâ with your phoneâs obnoxiously bright screen. Staring at your home screen, you forget any work that you had to do â literally nothing of importance that would make you look like you were doing something. Yes, you were writing a screenplay right now, which would be a good thing to work on if you could concentrate in the noisy fucking room. So you just went on Candy Crush, your finger languidly swiping your high school iPhone wanting to shoot yourself.Â
You spent an adequate amount of time doing that, getting cozy enough to tuck your feet under your body and let your hair out from the bun it was in. It felt okay, you still wanted to go home, but you were waiting until at least ten percent of the crowd was gone so Kendall wouldnât get prissy.Â
But you couldnât keep the peace, of course, you couldnât. Because there Kendall comes into the room, not looking for you, but for a man sitting on one of the benches in the middle of the party.
âThere he is!â You internally shrink, like a deflated balloon as your brother approaches. You hide like you were habitually doing as a child, trying to dart off from where you were oh-so comfortable. You hear Kendall saying some other bullshit which you tune out in your panic, but as youâre set to leave he calls out your name.Â
âBambs!â He turns to the man next to him, âThis is my sisterâ she isnât a vulture like the other ones, don't worry about that.â He looks back at you, then at the man again, âSheâll take care of you, they avoid her like a fucking plague.â
âReally nice, Ken,â you say, walking towards them reluctantly, resigning to sit next to the blonde man. He was tired-looking with hardly-noticeable but still visible rings underneath his eyes, a small smirk of interest on his face as he doesnât shuffle to give you space, instead moving closer to you.
Kendall leaves, for a reason you are unsure of. You try to stare in his retreating direction as you feel the strangerâs hot eyes on you. You couldnât read this guy, he seemed like a regular dude at first glance and to your relief he didnât seem crazed in the eyes or serial-rapey.
âYouâre the youngest one, arenât you? The recluse?â he asks, his accent isnât American, it was something Nordic â you hadnât met many of them in your life.Â
You turn towards him, to be polite of course, although your body tries to twist awkwardly, making sure he isnât too close, âGood use of deduction.â Heâs attractive, vaguely familiar like everyone in the room, obviously important to your brother, but you still have no fucking clue who he is. âAnd youâre? One of my brotherâs friends?â
He smirks, laying back on a column behind him, âYeah, weâre best buddies, like peas and a pod.âÂ
âNo name?â He laughs, like he was in disbelief that you didnât know who he was, âI like this, Iâll be your mystery man, hmm?â He leans further towards you, raising his eyebrows â the lack of space making your face hot.��
You try to escape any feelings of chagrin, crossing your legs, and staring into his eyes which felt like it was more of his soul. Who was this fucking dude? âA mystery man in my childhood treehouse, youâre sounding like a pedophile to meâŚâ
He nods as though he agrees, laughing, âYou have a history in this, I assume, with your family.â Oh yes, Uncle Mo. âWhat do you do? The tabloids say⌠writer?âÂ
A part of you feels insecure in your lack of knowledge about him. He knows your occupation, your name, and would probably be able to trace your life back to childhood through the internet, while you sat here like prey for his predator. All in his casual clothing and wolfish smile.Â
âYes, some screenwriting, some things more authorial, enough to get by.âÂ
It seemed like the idea of âgetting byâ was amusing to him as he smiled when you said that. Almost as if he was in disbelief that a Roy would ever need to make enough to get by. Maybe he was older money, maybe he grew up in a big castle like you, a prince or something⌠your mother had always had people like that over when you were young. It was funny, the old aristocrats with their wine and screaming kids. No he wasnât old money... his whole being read new. New money. New power.
âYou dress like you write childrenâs books, like a sexy-librarian-kindergarten teacher â itâs hot, if I dare-say,â he says. You can feel him looking her up and down and she doesnât know if you hate it or like it. You may be leaning to the latter with how lonely youâd been feeling for so long.Â
You almost roll your eyes, although your face heats up. How long has it been since someone somewhat complimented you? Sure they called your writing good, praised you in those magazinesâ no journals they called them, but nobody ever looked at you. Even if it was a half-insult.Â
You did dress conservatively, at least to control the narrative of yourself. Stemming mostly from when the paps took pictures up your skirt as a teenager. They werenât even decent enough to wait until you were eighteen, the moment the vultures saw that you wore a short-enough skirt they chased you around trying to get a glimpse of the most elusive Roy sibling; the paps were constantly chasing a story, and for the duration of your childhood you were the most interesting part of the billion-piece puzzle belonging to the Roy family.
Without any response, he moves even closer, if thatâs humanly possible â your arms pressing up against each other. He was warm, warmer than the stuffy room around the two of you, âTrying to insinuate something, mystery man?â
âJa, maybe I am,â he says, before leaning close to your face. âLetâs go somewhere more private.â He offers you a hand to get up, which your body wills you to take, but your brain knows logically any man your brother wants to woo is a douche, yet youâd always think with your feelings. He pulls you through the treehouse, walking into more of a secluded room.Â
You feel people watching you, more than before, more than they would the youngest Roy, but his hand feels so warm in yours, and he was even more attractive standing up. Taller than your smaller stature â you were the shortest of your siblings along with the youngest, the baby. It felt nice walking next to him, it felt safe. But still, it felt almost dangerous.
You breathe out a thank god as the two of you get off of the wooden bench and your butt touches a soft surface again. Itâs more secluded than your spot before but like every corner of the party, there were still people around you.Â
âNot a fan of crowds?â he asks, getting comfortable on the couch and leaning back as you feel his hand rise slowly on your thigh. Like heâs apprehensively confident.
âIs anyone really?â you ask him, he nods slowly, his eyes asking me to go on, âI donât know why Iâm here, maybe just feeling shitty about my family situation, you know? I don't spend much time with them⌠ever.â You eye the man as he intensely looks back at you â eyefucking you believe itâs called. Oh and his eyes are blue, youâd never noticed that before â remarkably theyâre not empty, the soul was still there, at least right now. You have to admit that heâs hot, in this light even more so. His features affirm my suspicions of where heâs fromâ and as you stare at him even longer you can't quite remember when youâd ever seen a hotter man. âDo you still have no name?â
He grins, looking away, âYouâll know soon enough, wonât you? This is fun for now.âÂ
âThe only name I know you by is pedophile, and I donât think you want people overhearing. Seems like we have eavesdroppers,â you glance over at the small groups of people around you. You assume that theyâre small investors, that they probably know Kendall and whatever business he has with the mystery man.Â
âYouâre right, my facial expressions plus my conversation are very relevant to the stock market and usually equals tanking.â
âYou talking to me will probably tank it, whatever stock youâre talking aboutââ you stop yourself from continuing, would Dad be mad that you were talking to him? âYouâre not part of Kendallâs crusade, right? Like my father wonât try and assassinate me for speaking to you?â
Itâs almost like he enjoys that notion as he laughs to himself, âDonât worry about Kendall, your dad hiring a guy maybe, but right now Iâm to be courted.â He gestures with his hands â which to you are strangely very animated, âYou care about what your dad says, do you?â
You respond nonchalantly, though your hands squirm and you look to the ground, âItâs a constant fuck him, and at the same time I love you, Daddy, I guess. He was shit, is shit, but sometimes heâs not too bad.â
âYou call him daddy?â
For the second time today, you feel yourself crawl into your skin, âOh yeah, when weâre in bed together definitely.â
Mystery man almost giggles at your comment, and thereâs something affable about that. He was constantly switching from this serious man to a very unserious one. There was some strange part of this that you liked, you liked the attention the way that he looked at you, the bubble he created around the two of you, the way his hand was increasingly inching.Â
You think back to the way this night started. You were quite desperate to leave, a bit dampened by the way Kendall accepted your gift, and guilty that you weren't at home taking care of your cat and working. Then you were delivered by this tall Viking man and you were uncomfortably comfortable with the way he made you feel.Â
âI kind of want to get drunk.â
âI have no qualms with that,â he responds, a grin on his face as you both get up and inch towards the bar, his hand slipping onto your back easily.Â
The time at the bar was spent in easy conversation, you stand against the wall, with him looming in front of you as you drink together. Him a beer and you a drink with a name youâre unsure of â hating yourself for so much enjoying the tang of the liquified poison.Â
âWhy arenât you part of your familyâs business?â
The way he looks at you⌠you feel like thereâs genuine interest, you look into his eyes and thereâs a gleam that scares me. Was he playing with you? Was this a play for your family? You still have no clue who this man is. You let him get too close to yourself, hand on your waist â eyes on yours, too close for a stranger. But you just want to be happy, to feel like you exist again. Not a fly on the wall, the main course.Â
âYou know,â you shrug your shoulders, taking another sip as he just looks at you with a weird facial thing that you donât quite understand. Like heâs teasing you, but ever so slightly, begging you to spill â which you do. âIâm the baby, yâknow â Bambi or whatever.â
He tilts his head back as he absorbs, âBambi⌠I like that, you look like a Bambi â the deer right?â
âYes the deer, theyââ I hurriedly take another sip of my drink as I recount the story of my ubiquitous nickname, âOnce Dad went hunting and brought me along, we spotted a deer and instead of uhâ killing it I kind of ran towards it, while his gun was still aimed. He said that he was about to shoot me like I was a Bambi, he said I was so fast that he almost pulled the trigger while watching me through the scope.â
Mystery man looks at me with wide eyes, âJesus fuck, thatâs a shit thing to say. How old were you?â
âUh maybe ten, by then my siblings were gone and he visited me where I lived with Uncle Ewan in Canada.â
âWhat a fucking prick.â
âYeah.â
You stare at each other for a minute, him in front of you and you below him, you really like his eyes. You break it though, your head was starting to spin from the one drink and he was making it almost worse. âCome on, letâs go sit down, Iâm gonna get stumbly.â
Pushing yourself away from the wall, you walk towards an empty space with a few chairs around a table and plop yourself down. Curling into yourself, you can just feel him situating himself next to you.
âYouâre a lightweight, arenât you? You look like one too,â he says, taking a swig of his still-almost-full beer.
You glare up at him as you start dozing off, âIâm gonna nap, you do you, pedophile.â
He guffaws, âOkay, no more pedophile jokes, the press hears and Iâm done.â
âI wouldnât know,â you mutter before tucking your head into your own shoulder.Â
âI have to ask you something before you nod off.â He seems almost genuine in his words as he furrows his eyebrows and leans towards your chair. You lift yourself ever so slightly showing that youâre listening. âWeâll fuck later right? Like guaranteed?â
You close your eyes again before you can roll them, although a tiny smile slips onto your face â you hope he wonât see it as you bury your face into the back of the lounge chair.Â
âI saw that grin, Iâm going to take that as a yes.â
âFuck off, asshole.â
âDonât contradict yourself now.â
You shake your head in mock embarrassment as you go to sleep. Your head was throbbing a bit, and your heart was beating faster â but you realize that youâd forgotten the loud music, and the crowds of people around. Youâd forgotten. Youâd found solace after so many years looking for it, in the middle of a mock replica of your childhood treehouse.
And this sleep was peaceful for a while, but then a fucking earthquake rumbled you awake.Â
âWhat the fuck,â you grunted as you felt hands on your shoulders, your eyes bulge open and you see Roman above you. âRome, leave me alone, you bitch.â
âWere you trying to seduce Matsson for dad?âÂ
You just roll your eyes, not understanding in your incoherent state what the fuck your brother was talking about â per usual. Looking around you saw that mystery man was gone, and the party was still raging around you. And his name was Matsson? Strange name, but a little bit fitting.Â
âI have no clue what youâre talking about⌠whyâd you even wake me up, miss me that bad?â you asked, clearly trying to antagonize him with your whiny voice.
Roman with all his pessimism and ass-holery deadpans at you, âWell Iâm fuckinâ sorry, you totally missed the six foot tall Viking who was camped out beside your unconscious body?â
âIs that not the point of being unconscious, dumbass?âÂ
âDid you fuck him, Bambi? Were you so fucking tired after fucking him that you had to take a big girl nap?â
âThereâs something psychologically wrong with you.â
Roman sits squatting on the top of the chair as he pseudo-interrogates you, âYâknow he didnât let me fucking wake you up, was that a power play or did you let him do you?â
âRome, I have no idea who that man was, he just said he was your friend and Ken told me to keep an eye on him.â Half-lying was your thing, you guessed. Your life was full of half-lies, momentary omissions of details, ignoring parts of sentences so you seemed more innocent. That was the life of a youngest child out of five you guessed.
âAnd since when were you Kendallâs bitch?â âSince he invited me to something, unlike you.âÂ
Roman completely skipped your comment before going off again, âDid he tell you anything, Matsson?â
âOh yeah, he told me he fucking hates your guts,â you say with a smile, watching your brother getting riled up.
âIâm going to tell Dad that you fucked him if you donât tell me the truth,â he threatens, it was fun being in this position. Youâd so regularly in your childhood been put down by your older siblings, so it was interesting being the one to give it back to them. You finally understood the appeal. Ah, leverage.Â
You smile as you pretend to recount, a finger to your chin as you mockingly itch it, âOh he told me that Dadâs an asshole and he has no interest in business with any of you creeps.â
âYouâve seriously been spending too much time with Uncle Looney? You know that right? You sound delusional, completely and utterly gone.â
As you sit up straighter trying to compose yourself, you eye Shiv coming over to where you and Roman sit (although heâs very much standing, pacing, like a lunatic), her hair a mess and her makeup smudged all over. Sheâd either just had mind blowing sex or something was seriously wrong with her.Â
You and your sister were strained to say the least. You wanted the idealized big sister who would braid your hair and make you up. The sister who would talk about boys with you and argue with you over stealing her clothes. You guessed Shiv more so wanted to prove herself to Dad â sheâd always been his favourite. You were more of an afterthought to her. The kind of afterthought that made you do a double take when you remember that youâd buried it so long ago.Â
There wasnât any sentimentality in the title of sister with the two of you. You were just another sibling, and probably her third favourite before Connor. But still, you love her, and you know in the deep recesses of her heart she loves you too. All the siblings love each other, although a strong belief for you was that there were certain dynamics that you were excluded from because of your age and difference in childhood.Â
âYou do you, Roman. Just know that Iâm hoping for your business with him to fail, just handing you my two cents.â Business was a strange concept to you, you were always pushed away from it as a child, leading you to know less than nothing about it. At one point you felt like you would go into it, but that too was ripped away from you. So right now, you just wanted to make Roman feel bad. Sure it was wrong to want to churn your brother into pieces, but it felt so good.
âI know youâre a fucking liar, so just like, sit with that, okay?âÂ
âWhatever, Roman.â
Roman ignores your words calling out for Shiv. Shiv runs a finger through straight but frizzy hair before coming to give you a half-hug.
The hug was weird and a little bit detached, but it was something, and it made you feel not instantly uncomfortable, but almost happy. Happy to see your sister again a little bit. âBambi, itâs been like two fucking years.âÂ
It hadnât been, but you agree. It felt like it.
âI didnât know you were keeping trackââ you try to say, but Roman quickly cuts you off. Biting off that Shiv was out dancing. Dancing was a human thing. You didnât know your only sister was a human.Â
âGuys, Iâm gonna go now, Iâll probably not be in touch, so yeah,â you try and gracefully leave as your siblings bicker about finessing or some shit.Â
They both nod non-committedly as you trot off observing Kendall and Connnor at the opposite poles of the room. You choose to not go off towards Kendall, who you knew probably already ruined his night with his overthinking or underthinking. Instead you go to Connor, probably your only kind brother, albeit the fact sometimes he was fucking lawful psychotic.
âCon, Con,â you call out, your small purse at your side as you push it around your body â youâd refused to give it to security earlier, citing personal reasons which they were too scared to deny. They probably assumed it was your period or something like that â youâd made that insinuation when they didnât relent for your last name.
You see Connorâs coated body turn around as he returns your call, âBambi! My favourite sister â you remember Willa?â Connor gestures to his arm candy, who didnât seem too excited to meet you â or meet you again, but obviously faked it. She was very pretty, nearly to the point where she made you feel insecure. But then again, no hate for your brother, but she was with your brother. You were sure Connor had mentioned her in a phone call, but you two never really talked about those kinds of things. He was always ranting on about politics (you think youâre the only one who would listen, so he took advantage of that) or you would talk about your life â never about the company, or really how he was doing besides his ranch.Â
âYes, at Shivâs wedding, I believe?â She just nods, and youâre both just pretending to know when you last met. There was no recognition in her eyes, and you donât think youâd ever interacted with her. It was a nice connection youâd had, a shared lie always brings people together.
âKen, told me you were here, but I thought youâd be gone by now.â Connor pulls you into a hug before saying, âHave you been taking care of yourself, sis?â
âIâve been doing okay, normally as always.â Noticing his cast, she asks, âWhatâs up with your arm, Conâ?â
âOh, I was doing an Irish jig as one does, and boom I slipped and it bent in all different directions,â he describes in a strangely vivid way. âIâm feeling better though, Willa helped me recover, right sweetheart?â
âYep,â she nodded, a smile on her face as she bore her eyes into mine â uncomfortable? Very.
Connor was probably the only one of your siblings you regularly spoke to, yes it was by phone, and no you didnât always enjoy it, but there was a beautiful normalcy to speaking on the phone with your brother. With Kendall or Roman it always turned into businessâ about Dad. With Shiv it was her ranting about some political thing, well maybe that was before she turned so Waystar-loco.Â
Connor was your normal brother.
âHave you heard of my recent presidential proclivities?â he asks, tilting his head as he looks at Willa for support â in which she enthusiastically nods her head.
Maybe he wasnât exactly the most normal of brothers, but he was more normal than the brother who spoke about you having sex weirdly too much or the one who canât stop fucking over your dad and snorting cocaine.Â
You nod, but before you hear a tumble and watch Roman bending over a kneeling Kendall. What a fucking dick. Kendallâs girlfriend, who you also didnât recognize was helping him up, and you stood there with no intention to help or rush in, frozen to your spot.
Connor shouts out, âEveryone take it easy, okay?â as Roman maniacally laughs and Kendall helps himself up.Â
As Kendall walks past you, Connor, and Willa he grumbles, âTake your fucking coat off,â repeating it to Connor as he walks like a man scorned. Willa blocks Connor from Kendall trying to calm the younger brother down. You avert Kendallâs gaze, standing next to Willa blocking Connor who looks to the ground much like you.
Shiv seemingly walks away from the scene as well, but in the opposite direction from Kendall, and immediately after Willa and Connor walk arm in arm out, saying a quiet goodbye to you.
With one glance to Roman, whoâs still muttering curses under his breath on the sofa chairs, you leave. Youâd quickly sobered up, and it was time to face the darkness of New York. Walking out of the luxurious Manhattan skyscraper you peer at the artificially brightened roads and the strange silence of the backroads. Instead of taking an Uber or Taxi, you opt for the Subway. You didnât take an allowance from your Dad like Connor did, you never inherited anything ever, and your last poetry anthology wasnât lucrative enough to have casual taxi money. You were sure nothing would happen on the Subway, from experience you know that there would just be a few people throwing up and tired workers coming home from the night shift.
Before walking down into the station, you check your phone, one hand on the railing and the other carefully gripping onto your phone. Attention split both ways.
Unknown
Know who I am yet?
1 Missed Call from Unknown
Your heart skips a beat, an adrenaline rich positive-ending to the night beat skip.
Instead of heading inside, you turn around, sitting down on the top step of the stairs, hoping a coked up crypto-bro doesnât push you down.Â
Pressing the call, a part of you hopes he doesnât pick up, so you can return to normalcy, but the heart wants what the heart wants.
âBambi?â
You groan, âI thought the story would stop you from calling me that.â
âNot because of the story, it suits youââ he pauses, the line going crackly as you hear him talk to someone, âYouâve left the party?â
âYeah, walking home now.â âWalking? This is America, ja? Youâre on a death mission.â
âItâs not too late, you know serial killers only come out after two in the morning.â
âI can send a car, hmm? You can come over here.â
âWhat does âover hereâ mean? To a strangerâs home?â
âYou promised me something, didnât you?â
âHmmmm, a promise? I donât remember.â
âSend me your location, Iâll get my guy to get you.â
âOkay, Iâll send my location to a stranger just because he was nice to me at my brotherâs party.â
âSee you soon then.â

The drive was awkward to Matssonâs (you preferred mystery man to what seemingly sounded like a last name, although it might be a first, Europeans were in themselves a mystery as well). The driver was quiet, and the car was a rich personâs. It was a car you were all too familiar with, the car you drove in during your childhood, the same tinted windows and leather seats.
Same thing of riding up to the penthouse of a hotel â he was only here temporarily you surmised. Youâd probably be a one-time thing.Â
When the elevator doors beep open and youâre in a hallway with one door, anxiety fills you up. What if this was a trap? If he was some sort of sexual pervert, or even worse an axe murderer with an even worse temper than anyone you could find on the New York streets?
But before you can even knock the door swings open and a hand pulls you in, âFucking asshole,â you whisper as you feel his lips trace over yours, your breath in his.Â
Heâs rough, and rushed, like heâs a man starved â of you.Â
As he starts tracing his fingers underneath your shirt you push his back, two hands on his chest as he kneels his head to meet yours. âWhatâs wrong?â âI donât know your name,â you say, almost embarrassed that you hadnât found it on your own, âMatsson? Thatâs your name.â
He doesnât respond, just pulls you close to him, before picking you up into his arms. You restrain a squeal as you struggle in his arms. He navigates through the hallways, looking as though he was confused on the layout of his own homebase, he finds the bed â splaying you down and standing above you like an animal.
âYou know, I refuse to orgasm without your name,â you insist. He moves closer and closer, uncharacteristically quiet as he pulls your shirt up laying a hand on your stomach, the other tracing over your soaked panties, slowly creeping towards your sensitive skin.Â
Heâs strangely gentle with it, until he pulls your panties to the side, spreading open your legs as he buries his face into your pussy. You move your two legs onto his shoulders, as plays with your nipples â languid twisting and faint touches that leave you just wanting more.
You let out a yelp as you feel his tongue move into you, like a fucking shark he dives into your clit as he watches you for your reaction. You know you look like a mess, breathless and desperate. âPlease, pleaseââ you moan, desperate for his tongue, for his touch, his everything.Â
âYour pussyâs so good, babyâ fucking heaven,â he whispers into where his head lay between your thighs. As he blows gently on it, you are wholly exposed and cold, you start squirming. Your thighs start pressing around his head, trying to push him further, which seemed to turn him on even more. Your legs start to shake as your orgasm builds up and builds up, you feel like screaming from the bliss of it, his attack on your pussy is like God reigning down on earth. âRefuse to orgasm, hmm? Want me to stop?â
You shake your head as he continues, âPlease, keep going, keep goingââ He listens to you, beginning to rub your clit as the feeling of everything continues to crash down on you
âCome baby, come.â He keeps on licking you up, every fucking crevasse.Â
Your orgasm came hard and quick, with a groan and a twitch your eyes rolled over as you released his head from in between your thighs, and as quickly as he got there, he climbed on top of you â his larger body engulfing yours as he hurriedly kisses you.Â
âI want to inside me,â you say into his ear, you could feel him from underneath his pants as he grabs your ass, groaning into you as you palm him.Â
âTake off your fucking clothes,â he orders, as you do it, you take off the loose t-shirt youâd been wearing to Kendallâs party off slowly, you can feel him staring at your tits, and a part of you loves it. Loves the attention you get from him. As you take off your pants from where they are bunched up from your ankles, and then the greenish-blue granny panties you wear, you watch him take his suede pants and then his boxers off. Oh god, you feel yourself thinking as you stare at him.Â
He picks you up as he brings his length into your entrance, rubbing it on your clit. He keeps going, relentless before he surprises you and slips it in, tilting your head towards him so he could watch you as he fucked you.Â
You hear him groan as he starts with slow thrusts, he would push in and then wait five seconds before slowly sliding outâ making sure you felt every inch of him. He was too big and you felt so full, with every time he pulled out you felt like five years were taken from your life span, that time had slowed down too much. You fucking needed him.
Of course he starts going fast, rough. There were no thoughts in your mind as you arched against him, and moaned in his mouth as he kissed you. Deeply and raw, like he had everything to lose and you would disappear in a heartbeat.
Pinning your hands above your head, he continues with his pace, passionately and without boreâ âYouâre so good for me, I just want to be inside you all the time,â he says a grin on his face as he watches your face before glancing down looking at his dick pound into you.Â
He presses kisses to your throat as he whispers, âMy nameâs Lukas, Lukas Matssonââ strangely enough hearing his name sends you off the edge as you moan out unintelligibly, overstimulated as he keeps on going, getting more and more erratic.Â
Not long after, he pumps into you a few more times before completely spilling inside of you, collapsing on top of you, not leaving your warmth as he buries himself deeper.
You donât say anything afterwards, you let him lay on top of you as he stays inside of you all the same. It feels like time doesnât pass as he wraps his arms around you, âStay the night?â he asks, all you do is nod.Â
You lay in silence for a few more seconds before you tell him, âIâm on birth control, by the way, pretty fucking risky to cum inside me without asking though.â
âI wouldnât be mad at a little me running around if I could fuck you again.â
Not saying anything, you press a kiss to his neck before tucking yourself closer into his bodyâ finding sleep comes to you when so often it fails you.

Hi! I hope it's okay to ask this but would you happen to know any books on Stalin that don't repeat the same old stuff about him being a bloodthirsty dictator etc.? I wish to learn from more nuanced and anti-anticommunist sources since I'm learning about communism and ussr rn, and you seem to be someone who might know about these! Thanks if you're able to answer!
hii of course im happy to recommend stuff :3 mutuals feels free to add stuff as well
Another View of Stalin. Ludo Martens (1994) â one of my go to recommendations, it goes into the most commonly brought up issues such as collectivization, the great purge, and the molotov-ribbentrop pact
Stalin: History and Critique of a Black Legend. Dominico Losurdo (2008) â another go to; in addition to addressing historical facts and myths, this one also criticizes the concept of 'totalitarianism', and the resulting conflation of fascism with communism as equally bad (something that is still done to this day, see 'horseshoe theory')
those two i would say are the most prominent books specifically about him, and for good reason as they cover the most important myths about stalin
another author ive had recommended to me who has multiple books about stalin and the ussr is grover furr, but i havent read any of his works yet
also while this one isnt specifically about stalin as a person, i also wanna throw in The Soviets Expected it by Anna Louise Strong. It was published in 1942 and covers the years leading up to and including the second world war. its not really an analysis, as anna louise strong was not a historian, but a reporter who lived in the ussr at the time and she reported a lot on the living conditions and experiences of the people which provides a really interesting view into the 1930s and early 1940s in the ussr. its also a rather short and easy read
then theres of course also first hand accounts from people who knew him, like Molotov Remembers (done in a sort of interview style, the author is anti-stalin but molotovs accounts are interesting nonetheless), or Next to Stalin: Notes of a Bodyguard (also very short, not particularly well written but interesting and at times also entertaining)
also in my opinion one thing that also provides some insight into how stalin was and how he thought is just to read his own works. theres a whole collection on marxists.org
i find his interviews fairly interesting to get a bit of insight into his thinking, and theyre very short and easy to read
Interview with H.G. Wells Interview with Emil Ludwig Interview with Roy Howard
i hope some of this will be interesting to you!! have fun with your reading, theres a lot to learn and discover out there
#ask#theres one more interview i rly liked but i cannot find it right now and dont remember the interviewer#he shit talks the UN in it#maybe ill remember it later#theres also several interviews at varying points with pravda correspondents which are also interesting
