Tim can’t breathe. He can’t breathe.

He thought— the Tower was bad enough. He hates being kept out of the loop, especially for “his own protection”, but he never thought—

It is Robin who had been threatened. Robin that Batman had been taunted with. Enough times, and with grisly enough descriptions of what might happen to him, that Bruce sent Tim to the Titans as a last ditch effort to keep him well out of reach of Gotham and its newly minted crime lord.

But Hood took Bernard, and Tim can’t breathe. Can only stare at the grainy picture from an unknown number, showing his boyfriend tied up and gagged in someone’s— Hood’s, probably, oh god— bed.

Tim wants to throw up.

Please god, please no.

we need more men in media that are pathetic and trembling and sobbing while being drenched in sweat and looking like they're about to throw up

I wonder what happened to him, for someone who looks so young to have such nasty scars

[l-e-morgan-author]

look, I made a thing; more a mockup than anything else, made in about five minutes from start to finish, but it's something, anyhow

read the latest chapter if you haven't already :3 this is chapter thirteen, with fourteen coming out in a few hours so long as everything goes as planned :3

“And never attack this site again” bitch please. What’s stopping you from demanding the money and then keeping up the attacks anyway? They’re not after money, they are attacking due to beliefs surrounding the content on AO3. I will however, gladly donate a knife to the throat.

[not-poignant]

did I hear it right? Is Ao3 currently under "attack"..??

You don't even need to put it in inverted quotation marks anon, it's straight up under attack by very likely Russian terrorists. It's both trending on Twitter, or if you don't use Twitter (don't blame you at all there), the Wikipedia page on Archive of Our Own has a whole section on it already.

There's also quite a few news articles out about it already!

Me Every time despite my tags a W*ll R*nsome gif pops up unfiltered on my Tumblr dash in a positive way or shows something about him and C*ra’s “love story”🤢🤮

[tabi-wa-michizure]

I wondered what was going on. Still confused even after reading this, though. Why Ao3???

[leggerefiore]

I start posting on ao3 again, and then the next day, it gets DDOS'd rip

Hell no I’m considering being a donor now I’ll only be able to give so much though

I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

I have this recurring fantasy I use when jacking off:

captured noble son (ftm) part 1

imagine you're the eldest son of a noble family. maybe a prince, maybe a young lord. your family is wealthy but always want more. your parents have kept you isolated for most of your life to ensure your 'purity', because it's easier to trade you off for political coin (or real coin)

until there's a raid on your home; a local band of mercenaries attack the guards who protect your family. maybe you didn't make it to a safer area in time, maybe you underestimated the attack, maybe you wanted to rebel a bit. either way you are found by one if the attackers

he knows you must be a noble instantly. you have no weapon or armor, you stand there scared. maybe you try to run, maybe you're frozen in fear, but you're not match for him. he grabs you by the arms and pushes you against a wall.

"and who do we have here?" he looks you over intensely. "the boss will definitely want a look at you, little one, but if we're lucky we might get to have a but if fun together first. what do you think?" he easily holds both your arms above your head with one hand and uses the other to untuck your shirt from your pants and touch the sensitive skin of your stomach and sides

you squirm and try to flinch away from his hand, but he just laughs at your attempts. his voice takes on a faux gentle tone, like talking to a startled animal. "woah now, boy, fighting back won't do you any good" he grips your side more forcefully causing you to wince, glaring at him

his hand leaves your side and you're able to breathe again, you take a shuddering gasp before he grabs your jaw, turning you head and leans in towards your neck. you can feel his breath, so hot and damp against your skin

right as he makes contact with your neck, tongue and teeth harsh in your skin, you hear the loud steps of boots and a stern voice

"if you've found a ransom you should take it to the boss. quit messing around" another mercenary startles the man on you and he pulls away quickly, flashing a glare at the interrupter. without a word he pulls away from the wall, grabs you by one arm and begins pulling you out of your family home

it might be in your nature to fight back, maybe you try to jerk your arm out of his hold, or you may try yelling for help, or just cursing him out as you're dragged along, maybe you're too shocked to respond and you stumble along behind him without much resistance. no matter what the result is the same. you are pulled out the front door of your home, past shattered open doors and plenty of fighters in armor milling about. some take a chance to look at you, to laugh or jeer at you, others are unbothered by your presence and continue with their work.

you are pulled towards a line of carriages, your captor clearly aiming for the finest carriage. a thin, bookish man stands outside the carriage and looks up from his notes when the two of you approach. after a quick discussion in a dialect you don't understand, heavy metal manacles are clamped on your wrists and a bag of coins is handed over to the man who found you

without any further acknowledgement, you are shoved into one of the smaller carriages and the door is latched behind you.

you shiver in the night air as your eyes slowly adjust to the dark inside your cell. you see other huddled forms are in here with you. some you make out to be servants of your own home, others you suspect you've seen before at the few galas your family allowed you to attend. they are all young like you, and they all look uncertain

you settle down with your back against the wall of the carriage and before long there is movement outside. a whip cracks and the carriage bolts and begins moving. you tuck your knees up against your chest and hide your head as you are carried away to who knows where

-----------

ahhhhh!? so what did you think!?

this is honestly just the setup for a WAY hotter part that comes after (i did say it's a recurring fantasy!) but I got a bit carried away with the initial parts. it's also way easier to skip all the travel in my head when I'm jacking off but when I'm writing it out I want to communicate to the reader what's happening

let me know if I got too into the details at the end?

Personally, I say fuck their ransom demands. I want AO3 back up expeditiously, but 30k from a non profit? I don't care how successful their donation drives are, handing over money like this isn't a good precedent to set.

The Archive is experiencing some issues (as many of you have noticed).

It looks like the Archive is under a DDoS attack causing the servers to fall over. Our volunteer sysadmins are working on countermeasures. Please be patient with us, we'll be back!
