Hello! I'm a big fan of your works. Your Jason is one of the best I've read! You get him. I'm very grateful to have read your fics. Please keep on writing him🙏
Now what kind of Jason fics do you enjoy? Plus if you haven't read Lysical's works already do so now!
hi hi!! thank you so much :] have a lot of things in the works so i will definitely be writing him for a while yet!
lysical's username is vaguely familiar, i've probably read a couple of their fics before but i don't remember specifics. i'll be sure to check them out properly when i have the time.
i've been sitting on this question for quite a while because i'm not entirely sure how to answer it--what fics i enjoy for jason really changes quite a bit depending on arbitrary things like my mood in the moment, lol. ended up just tossing together a rec list of some ongoing fics that i've been enjoying.
Triple Red by caffeinatedbasil - a wc crossover jayroy series. jason adopts lian after roy disappears on a diplomatic mission to space. the sequel's currently being written. the sheer relief of it really gets to me when i'm sad i'll just reread the entirety of burning red's first chapter and hope it'll fix me.
Someday I'm Gonna Be Somebody People Want by @ahoyimlosingmymind - a metahuman forces bruce, dick, tim, and damian to watch what pretty much amounts to a slideshow of jason's trauma, starting from early childhood. it's been fascinating seeing how they react and also devastating. little jason :( he's so small
Temporary Angels by @hopetimistic - case fic, jason whump, jaykyle, lots going on in this one! the original villains are really fun. it's actually just updated recently, haven't had a chance to read that chapter yet but i'm excited :]
door, opening by @cowboysorceror - dick & jason focused and also the most detailed case fic i've ever read. obsessed. these relationships make me so upset (in a good way) my head is in my hands.
Stable Relationships by @glitter-stained - horse movie no capes jayroy au. idk i just love all the character dynamics and the worldbuilding and the imagery is so good too.
For Some Desperate Glory by @chasingfigments - under the hood au where instead of taking over the drug trade jason kidnaps bruce. love the level of detail in this one too!! and we're still relatively early in the setup but i am truly obsessed with everything happening here.
Acid by @quenchiestcactusjuice99 - jason gets shoved into the marvel universe and into the hands of hydra. good fic fun dynamics i appreciate how competent he is and his yearning for his family hits me in the face every time.
i'll be gone in the dark by @havenesc - jason rancher au where he runs from gotham!! we're only one chapter in but it's a big one + his paranoia is so so sad but also extremely funny
Therapy with Doctor Todd by Wisetypewriter - jason gets a degree in psychiatry and forces the batfam to go to therapy. it's really funny but at the same time that 'crack treated seriously' tag was not lying.
#revek asks#jason todd#fic rec#fic recs#this is... not a complete list but had to stop at some point. alas#tangential note but always feel free to ask me for fic recs for specific tropes and whatnot#there's like a 95% chance i can scrounge something up from memory

I DONT GET A SPECIAL ENDING FOR RETURN THE SUN???
nooooope, not really.
The only sad part of getting that ending as your first is that you xan open the game and find the empty room as many times as you want.
Oh, and it doesn't fix the squares.
BUt yeah the normal runs dont have that much variation, and memory runs just replicate that.
Fun fact! the track that plays when you return home is called "Thanks for Everything", while the song that plays when you return the sun is "Self-Contained Universe". You can figure out why ;)

ask game! :D
fun fact: Revek's hair is always so fluffy because Jasper does it for him. if he had it his way, it would be dragging on the floor, an absolute mess of knots and leaves and twigs. boy looks like he came out of a fairytale with that hair
Jasper's help would be much appreciated as both my gijinka designs for Beryl and Brzzz look like they're having a bad hair day.
For Beryl it's because he forgets/doesn't bother to properly comb it out most days, and for Brzzz its because they've been using their buzzsaw to cut their hair anytime it gets too long, along with a near-constant case of helmet hair.
#thanks for the ask!#that's really sweet that Jasper helps Revek with his hair#mine's pretty long right now - I can definitely relate to getting leaves stuck in it if I don't tie it back properly when in a forest#oc ask game#other people's ocs#reveks#my ocs#Beryl#Brzzz

Echoes
Part I , Part II , Part III , Part IV , Part V , Part VI , Part VII , Part VIII
Summary: despite your last encounter with Vi, you still hope that she shows up at celebration party. And she does.
Warnings/themes : fluff, mentions of alcohol, mentions of death, smut , swearing,explicit content
Word cound : 5.4k
“Look at you,” Revek greeted, his voice dripping with mockery as you stepped into the bar. His arms were crossed, an insufferable grin plastered across his face. “Never seen you like this before. Got a date or somethin’?”
“Shut up, old man,” you muttered, punching him in the shoulder—not too hard, but enough to make him wince and rub at it. “You’re the one who told me to dress up. Practically held a gun to my head about it.” Your boots echoed against the floor as you took in the place.
The bar looked… different. Not massively, but enough. Dusty garlands hung precariously over the windows, and mismatched string lights blinked lazily, casting warm yellow pools of light on the sticky bar top. The faint smell of cheap cider hung in the air. Revek tried. You had to give him that.
“It’s… nice,” you admitted with a small smile, tilting your head as you walked toward the bar. “Real festive, Rev.”
“Glad you noticed,” he said, stepping closer with a smug look. “By the way,” he added, leaning on the counter like he was about to drop some grand revelation, “I hired someone else to bartend tonight. Y’know, so you can loosen up a bit.”
You blinked, instantly suspicious. “Loosen up?” you repeated, frowning as your brows knit together. “I’m fine. I don’t need to loosen up, I can handle working and celebrating whatever this whole…”—you gestured vaguely around—“…thing is.”
“Don’t be such a party pooper.” His grin widened. “What if Vi shows up?”
The air instantly felt heavier. Her name hit you like a punch to the chest, and for a moment, you froze. That single name was enough to make your mind spin. Vi. Her. Last night flashed through your thoughts in an instant, every maddening, conflicting piece of it. The way her voice cracked when she finally opened up to you. How her words, her story, intertwined with yours so unexpectedly. Her touch. God, her touch—the warmth of her fingers sliding against your own, the way her hand lingered just a moment longer than it needed to.
But then, like cold water crashing down, the rest of it hit you: her fists, the sting of her slap, her cruel words cutting deep. Those same beautiful, icy blue eyes that stared you down like you were nothing…
No. You couldn’t—wouldn’t—think about her like that again. She wasn’t worth it.
“She’ll probably show up with some new date,” you mumbled bitterly, trying to shove the thoughts away. You leaned over the bar, grabbing a glass to wipe down just to give your hands something to do. “She always has some company, so don’t worry about it.”
Revek’s smirk didn’t fade. He saw through you, and you hated it. “Uh-huh,” he said knowingly. “Don’t tell me you two finally had a civil conversation for once.”
“Something like that,” you muttered, focusing intently on the glass in your hand as though your life depended on it. “Found her passed out outside my apartment. Turns out, she lives right below me. Great, right?” You let out a dry laugh and glanced at him. “Had to drag her to her place. And before you ask—nothing happened. We just talked for like, five seconds, and I left. Same old story.”
“Sure.” He wasn’t buying it, not for a second. “And now you’re dressed to kill, looking like you’re waiting for someone.”
You rolled your eyes. “I hope she doesn’t show up,” you muttered under your breath. But you knew it was a lie.
That tight feeling in your chest didn’t go away. You didn’t dress up for anyone—except maybe her. The way your heart had leapt at the thought of her walking in, the flicker of anticipation you felt just imagining her stepping through that door… it was maddening. That’s why you put on your best dress. That’s why you walked past her window before coming here, hoping to catch a glimpse of her, though you’d never admit it.
You wanted her here. More than anything, you wanted her to show up. And that was terrifying.
The night dragged on. The bar was packed, buzzing with life. Laughter echoed through the room, glasses clinked together, and people danced to the lively beat of the old jukebox in the corner. It was the kind of chaos that most people thrived on, but you didn’t. Not tonight. You sat on the barstool, swirling the amber liquid in your glass, feeling utterly out of place. Revek had banned you from working tonight—said something about letting you have “fun for once,” though it felt more like punishment than a gift. You were pissed at him, sure, but you couldn’t deny that the atmosphere was… kind of nice. People were happy. You could see it on their flushed, carefree faces as they danced, as they laughed, as they forgot about whatever weighed them down outside these walls. Part of you was happy for them. Really. But the other part? The restless, uneasy part of you? That part was waiting.
For her.
Every time the door creaked open, your heart jumped in your chest. Was it her? The answer was always no. Someone else walked in—a group of girls, a couple, even Revek stepping out for a smoke. But not her.
She wasn’t coming.
By your third drink, the dull ache in your chest wouldn’t leave you alone. You couldn’t blame her for not showing up, could you? You had ruined what could’ve been a real, honest moment between the two of you. You bolted, like the damn coward you were. The memory of her soft voice, her vulnerability, it twisted something inside you. You weren’t used to seeing that side of her.It had shaken you in ways you didn’t want to admit. But she didn’t owe you anything. Least of all her presence tonight. You tilted your glass to your lips, taking another slow sip. That’s when he showed up.
A tall, gangly guy in a too-tight shirt, already unbuttoned enough to show a bit more chest hair than you ever wanted to see. His steps were wobbly, his eyes glassy with a drunk sort of hunger, and you instantly knew what he wanted.
“Looks like you’d enjoy some company,” he slurred as he leaned far too close, his sour breath making you wince. “It’s a shame a beautiful girl like you’s sitting all by herself. Someone’s gotta fix that.”
“No, thanks,” you said quickly, your voice cool and dismissive. You turned your attention back to your drink, hoping he’d take the hint. But of course, he didn’t.
“Aw, c’mon,” he chuckled, moving closer. Too close. The stool creaked as you shifted away, only for him to follow like a bad shadow. “Don’t play hard to get.”
“I’m not playing,” you snapped, setting your drink down and standing up, forcing him back with a small shove. “I said go away.”
He smirked at your resistance like it was some kind of game. “Don’t be like that, pretty face. Let’s dance. Shake off that sad little mood of yours.”
You gripped your glass tighter, your fingers trembling as you debated throwing it right in his smug face. You were seconds away from following through when you felt it: a soft hand sliding around your waist, a presence so sudden and so familiar that it made your breath hitch.
“She’s not alone,” a voice cut in, steady and firm. “She’s with me.”
You froze. That voice. Her voice.
The stranger backed off slightly, his smugness faltering, but you couldn’t move. Slowly, you turned your head, and there she was.
Vi.
Her grip on your waist tightened just slightly, pulling you closer into her, almost as if she were staking some kind of claim. Her touch was warm, grounding. The fire in those icy blue eyes was unlike anything you’d seen before.The guy stammered something under his breath—an excuse or an apology, maybe—but you didn’t hear it. You didn’t care. Vi didn’t either, her gaze locking onto yours now that he was backing away.
“Vi,” you whispered, her name catching in your throat.
“Hey,” she said softly, her lips curving into the faintest smile. Her hand lingered on your waist a moment longer before falling away, though you could still feel the warmth it left behind.
“you came, why?” you stammered, your voice barely audible over the hum of the bar around you.
She raised a brow, that infuriatingly cocky smirk making a brief appearance. “What do you think? Making sure no one harasses you,” she teased lightly, before her voice softened. “And… maybe I just wanted to see you.”
Your heart stumbled in your chest, but you tried to play it cool. “I didn't need your help" you brushed her comment off " and you could’ve shown up earlier,” you said, your voice lacking the bite you were hoping for.
“I could’ve,” she admitted, her smirk fading, replaced by something more sincere. “But I didn’t know if I’d be welcome after… you know.”
You bit your lip, suddenly remembering every conflicting emotion from last night. The way you ran, the things she said, the feelings she stirred in you—all of it swirled in your mind like a storm.
And yet… here she was.
“Well,” you muttered, brushing your hair out of your face to give yourself something to do, “you’re here now.”
“Yeah,” she said, her voice low and steady, her gaze not leaving yours for a second. “I am.”
The rest of the bar faded away, the music, the noise, the people—it was all background to the way Vi looked at you just then, and for the first time that night, you didn’t care about anything else. She finally let you go, her hand lingering for just a second longer than it needed to, like neither of you really wanted the moment to end. But now that it did, an awkward silence filled the space between you. After everything that had happened yesterday, neither of you knew how to break it. The air was heavy with too many unspoken emotions swirling in the space between you two. You glanced at her, and she glanced at you, both searching for something, anything, to say.
“Uh, want some?” you blurted, grabbing your glass and holding it out toward her. It was the first thing that popped into your head, and you instantly regretted how awkward it sounded.
Vi let out a soft laugh, shaking her head. “No, I’m good this time,” she said, her voice lighter than you’d expected.
You blinked. That answer surprised you. She was always the one with a drink in her hand, always ordering another round, always numbing whatever storm brewed inside her. Sober Vi? That was new. And it threw you off a little, mostly because you didn’t know how to handle her like this. But, in some strange way, it made you feel lighter, too. After everything she’d said to you yesterday—how she’d opened up in ways that shocked you—it was as if she didn’t need to hide from herself right now. And maybe, just maybe, that was because of you. Your chest tightened at the thought. Maybe you weren’t as terrible for her as you sometimes felt. Maybe, like her, you were chasing off her demons just as she was chasing off yours. That realization felt… nice.
“Listen,” you started, your voice tentative as you set your glass down. You hesitated, catching her eyes before continuing. “About yesterday…”
Vi looked up at you, those piercing blue eyes locking onto yours in that way that made the rest of the world disappear. “Yeah?” she asked, her voice soft. She stepped just a little closer, giving you her full attention.
“I was just…” you trailed off, taking another sip of your drink. The words felt stuck in your throat. What were you even trying to say? That she scared you? That you didn’t know how to handle whatever was happening between you? That you wanted her close, but the thought of it terrified you just as much as it excited you? You swallowed hard and looked at her again, your voice quiet as you said, “I got scared.”
“I know,” she interrupted gently, a faint smile pulling at her lips. “You don’t have to explain. I get it.”
Her voice was calm, understanding in a way that made your chest ache. “It scares you,” she said, her words slow, deliberate. “This… whatever this is.” She motioned between you two, her own gaze faltering for a moment before she met yours again.
Her smile faded slightly, replaced by something quieter, more vulnerable. “It scares me too,” she admitted. “After going through so much shit, being close to someone—anyone—scares the hell out of me. I don’t want it. I tell myself that, over and over. Because there’s always a chance…” She took a shaky breath and looked down at her hands, fidgeting for a second. “There’s always a chance it’ll end badly. Just like it always does.”
Her words struck a chord deep inside you. You didn’t interrupt, didn’t dare speak, as she continued.
“I wasn’t even going to come tonight,” she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper now. “I told myself I shouldn’t. That it was better if I didn’t. That maybe it’d hurt less if I stayed away.”
You felt your heart sink at those words, but then she looked back up at you, and there was something fierce in her eyes—a softness, yes, but also resolve.
“But I’m here,” she said simply. “I’m here because… I wanted to see you.” She stepped closer now, the space between you two growing impossibly small. “Even if it scares me, even if it’s probably the worst idea in the world… I still wanted to see you.”
Her words sent a warmth spreading through you, one you didn’t know what to do with. You opened your mouth to say something—anything—but the words wouldn’t come. Every single thing she’d said described exactly how you felt. She put into words what you couldn’t. The fear, the vulnerability, the way you didn’t want to let her in but couldn’t stand the thought of her not being there.You swallowed hard, trying to gather your thoughts, but all you could focus on was how close she was now, close enough that you could feel the faint warmth radiating from her. Her eyes softened, like she could sense your struggle.
“It’s okay,” she said quietly, and for once, she didn’t seem like the brash, bold version of Vi that you were used to. She was just Vi—raw and human and real. “You don’t have to say anything.”
The words hung there between you, the silence no longer awkward, but instead filled with something… more.You wanted to reach out. Wanted to touch her hand or tell her that you understood, that you felt it too. That it scared you just as much, but damn it, you couldn’t imagine not trying, not when she was standing here, looking at you like that. But instead, you stayed frozen, your heart pounding as you just stared at her, the words trapped in your chest.
And for the first time, the noise in your mind—the constant whirlwind of doubt and fear and second-guessing—was quiet. Completely quiet. All that was left was her.
“Wanna dance?”Your voice cut through the hum of the crowd, soft but certain. She turned to you, her expression caught somewhere between surprise and curiosity.
“I’m not much of a dancer,” she replied, a small, playful smile tugging at her lips.
“Neither am I,” you admitted, but that didn’t stop you. Reaching out, you took her hand, warm and steady in yours, and led her toward the crowded dance floor. Blue lights flickered across the room, casting shadows and highlights on her face as laughter and music filled the air. Turning to face her, you stepped closer, letting the beat guide your movements. You weren’t trying to impress anyone; you just wanted to feel her presence, the magnetic pull between you both. At first, she hesitated, but within seconds, she was moving with you, her rhythm syncing effortlessly with yours.
And suddenly, it was like the world around you faded. The voices, the lights, the sea of people—they all melted into the background. It was just you and her, tangled in the moment, caught in something unspoken but undeniably real. You found yourself stepping even closer, your hands sliding up to rest lightly on her shoulders. Her breath hitched for a fraction of a second, and you took the chance to really see her. The way her hair framed her face like it was painted to perfection, the faint freckles scattered across her nose, the sharp, deep blue of her eyes that seemed to hold entire galaxies. And then, your gaze fell to her lips—soft, inviting, impossibly tempting. You swallowed hard, trying to steady yourself against the overwhelming urge to close the distance. The music shifted, one song blending seamlessly into the next, but you didn’t care. She was your only focus, the center of your universe in that moment.Then, without a word, her hand rose, brushing gently against your cheek. Her touch was light, almost hesitant, as though she was afraid to cross a line. Her eyes locked on yours, searching, reading you like an open book. She must have known—she must have seen the fear you carried, the uncertainty of being this close to someone.
“You’re so beautiful,” she murmured, so quietly it felt like a secret meant only for you. Her voice was steady, but her expression was something else entirely—vulnerable, open, like she was baring a part of herself she rarely let anyone see.
The words hit you harder than they should have, and for a moment, all you could do was look at her. You wanted to say something, anything, but the lump in your throat made it impossible. Instead, you smiled—a small, shaky thing that spoke more than words ever could—and leaned forward, letting your forehead rest gently against hers. Your hands slid down, settling lightly at her waist, and you felt her body relax under your touch. Slowly, carefully, you leaned into her, resting your head against her shoulder. Her body was strong beneath you, her presence grounding, and you let yourself melt into her. She smelled faintly of something warm and familiar, like the promise of comfort, and the scent wrapped around you, making the rest of the world fade even further.You closed your eyes, letting your nose graze the curve of her neck, and you felt her shiver—just barely—under your touch. She didn’t pull away, though. Instead, her arms came around you, holding you closer, her touch firm but tender. It was like she knew exactly what you needed, without you ever having to ask.
For the first time in what felt like forever, you weren’t thinking about the past or worrying about the future. You weren’t scared of the intimacy, the closeness that always felt too much to handle. You were just… here. With her.
You didn’t know how long you’d been like this—standing so close, barely breathing, lost in the rhythm of each other—but eventually, you noticed the dwindling number of people around you. The once-lively bar had grown quiet, its energy now muted as the night crept toward its end.
“Looks like we got carried away,” you mumbled, letting out a soft chuckle, your voice breaking the silence between you.
“You think so?” she teased, her tone dripping with sarcasm. She laughed, her voice low and husky, as you turned around to see Revek tidying up the last remnants of the night.
“One second,” you murmured to Vi, reluctant to let the moment slip away but making your way over to the big man behind the bar.
“Hey, big guy,” you said with a smile.
“Well, hello there,” he replied, smirking. “Had a good time?” he added , already knowing the answer
You rolled your eyes, grabbing a few empty glasses to help him clean. “It’s late. You should go home, rest for a bit. You’ve done all of this alone. The least I can do is help,” you said earnestly, offering him a warm smile.
“Ah, don’t worry about me,” he replied, his gaze flicking to Vi. “Looks like you’ve got better things to do right now.”
Vi must have overheard because she stepped closer, crossing her arms with that cocky smirk of hers. “I can help,” she said, her voice light. “Consider it my apology for almost killing some random asshole in your bar.”
Revek let out a genuine laugh, his shoulders shaking. “Well, if you two insist,” he said, putting down the cups he’d been holding, “I could use a bit of rest.”
With that, Vi joined you, grabbing chairs and setting them back in place. The minutes ticked by, and before long, the bar was empty, quiet—just the two of you left alone in the stillness.
“You didn’t have to do that,” you said, tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear as you wiped down one of the tables.
“It was just an excuse to stay longer with you,” she admitted, her smirk widening as she went back to stacking chairs.
“So, you’re telling me you’re not sorry for almost killing that guy?” you shot back, raising an eyebrow.
“Not really. He deserved it,” she muttered.
Your gaze fell on the pink liquor bottle sitting innocently on the table. Its soft glow in the dim light pulled a sad smile from your lips. It was one of those small, unassuming moments that carried the weight of a memory, and Vi, being Vi, noticed it immediately. Her sharp eyes softened as she stepped closer, tilting her head slightly.
“What is it?” she asked gently, her voice low and cautious, like she already knew it wasn’t something light.You blinked, startled out of your thoughts by her question. For a moment, you debated brushing it off, but something about the way she looked at you—steady, patient—made you let out a small sigh.
“Um…” you began, your voice shaky as you tried to find the words. “I just remembered something.” You paused, glancing at her before returning your gaze to the bottle. “My mom used to buy this same liquor. She loved it. Every weekend, she’d pour herself a glass or two.”
Vi stepped closer, her expression unreadable but her presence grounding. She didn’t interrupt, didn’t press, just listened.
“My brother, sister, and I always wanted to taste it so bad,” you continued, a faint, bittersweet smile curling your lips. “It looked so… magical. Like it had to taste as amazing as it looked. But, of course, Mom never let us have any.” You chuckled softly, the sound trembling just enough for Vi to hear the cracks underneath it. She leaned in slightly, her hand brushing the edge of the table, her body language pulling you closer without a word. “One time,” you said, the memory blooming fresh in your mind, “after she fell asleep, we made this grand plan to sneak into the kitchen and steal it.” You smiled, the edges of your lips trembling as you spoke. “We got it—three of us, crammed behind the sofa, passing around one cup. We were so excited.” Your voice softened, your gaze falling to your hands as if they still held that cup. “It tasted awful.” You laughed again, this time with a little more warmth. “But none of us wanted to admit it. We were too proud, too happy that we’d finally gotten our hands on Mom’s ‘magic liquor.’”
Vi’s eyes never left you, her expression unreadable but heavy with something that felt like understanding. She stepped closer, now only inches from you, her presence steady and grounding. Her voice was quieter now, softer, like she didn’t want to disturb the fragility of the moment.
“What happened to them?” she asked, the sincerity in her tone cutting through the air like a blade.
The smile on your face faltered, cracking under the weight of the question. You hesitated, your lips parting but no words coming out at first. Finally, you forced yourself to meet her gaze, your voice barely above a whisper.
“My mom and sister… they’re gone. Dead.” You swallowed hard, the word catching in your throat. “As for my brother…” You let out a bitter laugh, shaking your head. “He left one day. Said he needed to ‘find himself.’ Never came back.” Your eyes flicked back to hers, raw and unfiltered. “Maybe he’s dead, too. I have no fucking clue.”
Vi stepped even closer, her body brushing against yours now. Her hand came up, hesitating for a moment before gently tilting your chin so you couldn’t look away. Her touch was careful, like she was afraid you might shatter. Her gaze locked onto yours, deep and unrelenting, and for a moment, everything else faded into the background.
Her eyes flicked to your lips, lingering just long enough for you to notice. The air between you thickened, heavy with the weight of unspoken things. Her presence was so comforting, so overwhelming, it made your chest ache. You hated it—the way she made you feel safe, the way she made you want something you’d sworn off. It terrified you.
And yet, you didn’t move. Couldn’t.
Her hands found your waist, her grip firm but so incredibly gentle as she pulled you closer. The gap between you vanished, and you felt her breath on your lips, warm and unsteady. Her eyes searched yours, asking silently for permission, but you were already gone.
"Just this one time , never again" you thought to yourself.
Her lips met yours softly at first, brushing against them in a way that was almost hesitant, like she was testing the waters. The warmth of her mouth sent a shiver down your spine, and you couldn’t help but lean into her, letting your hands find their way to her shoulders. The kiss deepened slowly, her lips molding to yours with a tenderness that made your heart race. It was like she was teasing you, coaxing you to want more, and, it worked. A soft moan slipped from your lips as her hands slid up your back, pulling you even closer. Your fingers tangled in her messy pink hair, tugging gently, and she let out a low groan that sent heat pooling in your stomach. The kiss turned hungrier, more desperate, as her tongue brushed against yours, and you couldn’t stop yourself from melting into her. She pulled back just enough to look at you, her eyes scanning your face like she was memorizing every detail. Her lipstick was smudged, her breathing heavy, and that damn smirk of hers—it drove you insane.
“You’re so beautiful,” she murmured, her voice low and rough, like the words had slipped out before she could stop them.
Her lips found yours again, stealing whatever reply you might’ve had. Her hands slid lower, gripping your waist as she guided to the bar , turning you , bending you over. Every movement, every touch, was so intentional, so consuming, it made your head spin. Her lips trailed down the back of your neck, her kisses slow and deliberate, sending waves of heat through your body. Her hands slid up your thighs, slipping under your dress as her fingers found the edge of your panties.
"You sound desperate," she mocked, her breath warm against your ear, the teasing tone sending shivers cascading down your spine. Her lips barely grazed your skin, and you groaned, half out of frustration and half from the building tension, before reaching up and gripping her wrist. With a quick motion, you spun her around, reversing your positions with a confidence you weren’t sure you even possessed. She smirked, clearly impressed, but her smirk faltered when your hands slipped beneath her shirt. You lifted the tank top slowly, savoring the way the fabric revealed inch after inch of her toned body. When it was gone, you discarded it carelessly, leaving her gloriously bare from the waist up. Your eyes roamed her figure, drinking in every detail. Her tattoos wound across her skin like artful stories, the dark ink contrasting with the golden hue of her muscles. Your gaze lingered on her breasts, the perfect curve of them, the way her nipples hardened under your attention.
She chuckled softly, but the way her chest rose and fell betrayed how your words affected her. You leaned in, placing featherlight kisses along her neck. She tilted her head, giving you full access, her breathing hitching when your lips began their slow descent. Your tongue traced the line of her collarbone before you stopped at her nipple, flicking it gently with the tip. Her gasp was sharp, her hands flying to your shoulders as if to steady herself. You didn’t stop. Your lips closed around the sensitive peak, sucking gently before swirling your tongue over it. Her moans filled the room, her head falling back as her body pressed closer to yours, seeking more. She was utterly at your mercy, and you reveled in it. Just as her breathing turned ragged, you pulled back, your lips hovering mere millimeters from hers. She leaned in for a kiss, but you smirked and pulled away.
"And who’s desperate now?" you whispered, your voice dripping with smug satisfaction.
Her eyes sparkled with mischief. Suddenly, her strong hands gripped your waist. Effortlessly, she hoisted you off the floor like you weighed nothing. A surprised laugh escaped you, but it was cut short when she placed you down on the edge of the bar stool. Her piercing gaze locked onto yours as she slid her hands along your thighs, hiking your dress up to your hips in one swift motion. The cool air hit your skin, and a shiver ran through you, anticipation coiling low in your stomach. Without a word, she hooked her fingers into the waistband of your panties and tugged them down, the slow drag of fabric against your skin making your breath hitch.
“You’re dripping for me already,” she teased, her voice low and husky.
Before you could retort, she dropped to her knees, her hands spreading your thighs apart. Her eyes stayed locked on yours as she leaned in, the warmth of her breath making your core tighten. When her tongue finally flicked over you, a sharp gasp tore from your lips. She worked slowly at first, her tongue sliding through your folds. She circled your clit, applying just enough pressure to make you squirm, before pulling away slightly to kiss the sensitive skin around it.
“Vi…” you whimpered, your hands tangling in her short hair, pulling her closer. She hummed in response, the vibration sending jolts of pleasure through your body.
She buried her face deeper, her tongue lapping at you with unrelenting intensity. Her hands gripped your thighs, holding you in place as your hips bucked involuntarily. She alternated between slow, teasing flicks of her tongue and firm, languid strokes that had you teetering on the edge of bliss.
“You taste so fucking good,” she groaned against you, the words sending another wave of heat pooling in your core. Her lips wrapped around your clit, sucking gently before she slid two fingers inside you, curling them just right. Your back arched off the stool, a cry escaping your throat as the pressure built, her fingers and tongue working in perfect harmony.
“Oh, fuck—Vi, I’m—” you tried to warn her, but your words dissolved into a broken moan as the orgasm tore through you. Your thighs trembled around her head, and your vision blurred as waves of pleasure crashed over you, leaving you breathless. She didn’t stop, her movements slowing to help you ride out the high until you were left quivering and utterly spent.
She finally pulled away, her lips and chin glistening as she looked up at you with a satisfied smirk. She stood up, planting passionate kiss on your lips . Groaning, you pulled her even closer , as you tasted youself on her soft lips. You opened your mouth to say something, but before you could, a loud banging echoed through the bar doors, shattering the moment.
Both of you froze, your eyes meeting in shared surprise and frustration. “Guess we’re not alone anymore,” she muttered, standing and grabbing her tank top. But that mischievous glint in her eye told you this wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.
Author note: Ahhhhhh !!! i can't with these two I love them too much ! it was my first time writing smut please spare me!! did you like it? do you like where story is going? please let me know!!

hi :] would love to know what was going on in your brain when you wrote this part of watch your back, now i'm biting. also very interested in hearing what you were planning with this au in general!
----
“—just weird for me,” Steph’s saying. “Like, I don’t even know why he picked me—“
“What the fuck are you talking about?” Jason says, sounding baffled. “Don’t get me wrong, Steph, you’re the most annoying person I’ve ever met, but you fight like hell. I mean, I got you in the head like three times and you never stayed down for more than a second.”
“But I’m not his kid,” Steph says, very small. It’s times like these Dick remembers that she’s just thirteen. “You’re his kid.”
Jason’s quiet for a second. Dick continues to pretend like he’s rustling through gauze. “Yeah, but if I’m not, you know. In the business anymore, then maybe he doesn’t—“
“That’s dumb,” Steph says plainly. “You’re so dumb. Ninety percent of patrol is what would Jason do.” She does a pretty good impression of Bruce’s voice too. “I’m just a placeholder until you decide to come back—“
“I’m not coming back,” Jason says instantly, cold and hard. Dick winces, just as sore as the day Jason’s still-battered body came back from Ethiopia.
He gets why Jason stepped away. But he wishes Jason was never forced to make the choice at all.
“Then why,” Steph’s saying, voice a little wobbly at the edges. “Does it even matter if I’m Robin?” Jason exhales shakily. Steph goes on. “Be honest. Is it because I’m a girl?”
“No, it’s not because you’re a girl,” Jason says. “Christ, Brown. It’s because—“ He doesn’t say anything for a moment. Steph, for once, seems to have the patience to hear him out. Dick’s gripping the edge of the cabinet waiting for his answer. Finally, Jason huffs and says, “Because I can’t help but I think they’re gonna end up picking you. And I’m gonna end up—back where I started.”
“What,” Steph says. “You think I’m not scared of the exact same thing?”
HIHIHI REVEK thank you for the ask!!!!
(pick a short passage i've written and stick it in my inbox for dvd commentary!!)
(also the fic i'm commentating on is here!!)
i think the jason and steph dynamic is so so deeply underrated. every time they show up in a comic being nice to each other and buddies i am incredibly overjoyed. i think they're very similar to each other, both in terms of background and overall outlook. i think they both can connect on the immediate level of being quote-unquote "failed" robins. i also think it's clear that while stephanie doesn't personally jive with jason's whole murder thing, she understands why he does it and what impact it can have and has a lot of sympathy for him, in general. jason, in turn, respects a lot of what steph's been through and is willing to listen to her when she tells him he's being a big dumb idiot. they're friends!! there's a lot they're equipped to understand about each other!! i could go on!!!!!!
HOWEVER. when two people are very similar, they can also clash very awfully. especially when they're in stressful situations, like jason trying to figure out who he is without robin and steph trying to figure who she is as robin. hence the fight to the death.
im putting this under a readmore bc i have the feeling i'm about to get even chattier lmaoooo
“—just weird for me,” Steph’s saying. “Like, I don’t even know why he picked me—“
and here we see the first hint of their complementary insecurities!! in part because of their background and in part because of their warped view of their own capabilities. neither of them believe robin is within their grasp. they both believe they have to constantly be reaching up.
“What the fuck are you talking about?” Jason says, sounding baffled. “Don’t get me wrong, Steph, you’re the most annoying person I’ve ever met, but you fight like hell. I mean, I got you in the head like three times and you never stayed down for more than a second.”
my only comments are one: steph would and two: i think it's very in-character for jason to be like you're annoying as hell and i hate you and everything you stand for. but i respect what you're about. game recognizes game.
“But I’m not his kid,” Steph says, very small. It’s times like these Dick remembers that she’s just thirteen. “You’re his kid.” Jason’s quiet for a second. Dick continues to pretend like he’s rustling through gauze. “Yeah, but if I’m not, you know. In the business anymore, then maybe he doesn’t—“ “That’s dumb,” Steph says plainly. “You’re so dumb. Ninety percent of patrol is what would Jason do.” She does a pretty good impression of Bruce’s voice too. “I’m just a placeholder until you decide to come back—“ “I’m not coming back,” Jason says instantly, cold and hard.
the first thing to note is that i've sort of gone back and forth on whether or not steph could hypothetically get actually adopted in this au. on the one hand, she's more or less taking over tim's role, so it's possible. on the other hand--and this is paraphrasing something @little-boats-on-a-lake said when i was infodumping to them about it--a lot of steph's character/tragedy is that she's not adopted. that she's always sort of on the outskirts. (just like jason!!) i haven't come to any firm conclusions re: the adoption thing, but either way, at this point steph would not consider herself a part of the wayne family disaster.
also, jason's ongoing insecurity about his role in the family now that he's not robin!! and steph's ongoing insecurity that she really is just a temporary replacement!!
Dick winces, just as sore as the day Jason’s still-battered body came back from Ethiopia. He gets why Jason stepped away. But he wishes Jason was never forced to make the choice at all.
the guilt dick carries over the whole robin thing is crazy.
also, there's something about jason being so insecure about how he fits into his family without robin, but still somehow choosing to put himself and his health first. i think that's very brave of him.
“Then why,” Steph’s saying, voice a little wobbly at the edges. “Does it even matter if I’m Robin?” Jason exhales shakily. Steph goes on. “Be honest. Is it because I’m a girl?” “No, it’s not because you’re a girl,” Jason says.
lol. lmao.
Finally, Jason huffs and says, “Because I can’t help but I think they’re gonna end up picking you. And I’m gonna end up—back where I started.” “What,” Steph says. “You think I’m not scared of the exact same thing?”
complementary insecurities again!!! neither of them want to be left alone. neither of them wants to lose everything they've gained.
anyway!! i think this really clears the air for the both of them because 1.) they actually talked about their emotions and understood that they have a lot of the same problems and 2.) they beat the shit out of each other and worked a lot of the malicious energy out there. after this, i think they start getting along better and better, although they would literally rather die than admit it. beating the shit out of each other took care of the cain instincts, and now they can be normal, only mildly violent bickering siblings.
as for my vague plans for the rest of the au: my next fic for jay todd week is actually set here!! it's tim & jason centric, because this whole thing started with a semi-convoluted thought process that went jason lives after ethiopia and decides not to be robin->tim has no need to be robin because jason isn't dead->jason graduates high school right when he was supposed to->tim isn't distracted by bat nonsense, so he actually graduates high school early->they end up as roommates at college together. it's a whole disaster. and then somewhere in here i thought okay, so steph would be robin then and then i went lol. jason and steph would clash so fucking bad. and i love sibling-on-sibling violence and find it very funny, so the fic happened.
anyway, perhaps someday i will write the multi-chap fic chronicling jason & tim's four years at college together as awful, awful roommates. maybe i'll just keep on writing random, out-of-context one-shots. who is to say!!
my parting thought is that i fucking love the jason-steph dynamic. they are so goddamn important to me, and i think more people should do steph hanging out with jason and maybe even the outlaws because i think they would all have a really great time together and blow a lot of shit up
#perhaps someday i will also write the multi-chap rhato retelling/reimagining where steph is also there. bc i think she deserves it#ANYWAY thank you for the ask!! i love yapping ehehe#birdie blabs#birdie blabs a lot actually goddamn#my fics#asks#jason#steph

The Ghosts That Haunt Us Still
From: @grollow
To: @reveks
Note: Hi Zye. I know how much you liked 'graves, you see, are for the living.' When I got assigned you, I couldn't resist writing you a sequel. It may not be the cheeriest thing for the season, but something tells me it'll tickle your fancy nevertheless. Happy holidays, friend!
((Sequel to: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44721973))
Written work under readmore
The Ghosts That Haunt Us Still
By Rhysa (tumblr user: grollow)
“Someone once told me that graves were for the living,” Revek murmured. “That they were imbued with memories.” He turned toward his companion, a small figure cast in shadow. “And that’s all that I am now, isn’t it? Memories.”
The moth did not look up. She held in her hands a small jar full of lumaflies, dancing brilliant blue and violet. The captives fluttered about and illuminated the glade, though in truth, Revek knew that she needed no such guidance. Long gone were the days when the moths walked in the light of the morning. Night was their constant companion now, and she their shepherd in the dark, the last Seer of her tribe, the last to remember their teachings when history would erase it all.
And the moths themselves would be little more than memories.
Would they, too, get graves?
Would he visit them, as he had during their first meeting?
“You are an echo,” she answered, crouching before one of the stones. It was stained grassy-green along the base and over the top of what was once polished marble, there was a thin layer of grime that indicated that particular marker had not been visited in some time. Seer raised one hand and gently rubbed away the film, the pads of her fingers polishing the long-forgotten stone. “Remnants of the person who Revek once was. His last thoughts, his dreams, unresting. You died with purpose unfulfilled, and essence sees fit to make you real. To give you a chance at letting your regrets fade away.”
Regrets. Did he have any?
In life, his purpose had been to protect the Glade; he’d been tasked with the instruction of preventing anyone from desecrating the markers there. He served that function still, a lingering specter haunting his own grave marker. Was that not his purpose?
“What are your intentions here?”
“To pay respects to the dead. Is that not why everyone visits a mausoleum?”
His tone.
(He’d said his name was Grimm.)
He’d sounded so smug, revealing that the moths would not dream of denying him passage anywhere that he wished. How whimsical and strange that butterfly had been—darting about with ease as if he were not surrounded by monuments to grief, as if he felt nothing at all about the loss that those who buried their own in the soft earth undeniably felt. With poetically cryptic half-truths, he’d flitted to-and-fro; he’d said that he came to pay his respects, but Revek hadn’t seen any stone that Grimm had actually stopped at.
“Do you believe in omens, Seer?” the spider asked, his claws playing along the hilt of his nail. “Signs of what is to come? Your name would certainly suggest that you do.”
She angled one antenna his way, curious, before turning from the stone that she was looking at. The name read ��Thistlewind.’ It was an old stone, one he recalled seeing even when he was alive.
(But his memories could be obscured by knowledge that he now possessed. He was an echo, after all, the lingering embodiment of unrest—he was a ghost, not the real Revek.
Wasn’t he?)
“Is there a reason that you find yourself curious, restless one?” she asked. The tone of her voice indicated that she knew more than she’d let show. “An answer that you seek?”
He shifted, secondary legs writhing beneath the cloak that he wore. He angled his mask downward. Beneath Seer, there grew rich tangles of clover in place of grass; it folded over onto itself prettily, a mat to cover the resting place of the moth that was buried beneath.
He’d seen Thistlewind before, but never had they spoken.
“Who does Grimm come to the Glade to visit?”
The name spurred a reaction: violet antennae folded downward, and Seer turned away from Revek to walk through the grounds. She dropped a small yellow flower on the top of Thistlewind’s grave, but that was not the only one that Seer decorated. No, each that she passed, she laid a bloom on, though only the moth received yellow—the rest got diminutive white flowers. This was a custom from the elderly moth; he’d seen her participate in this ritual numerous times. It seemed to bring her comfort.
She did not answer him.
“I have opened the doors to the Glade,” Seer said instead. “To allow visitors. The wielder my people seek has arrived, and it will doubtlessly find its way here, to witness those who came before. I would ask you to treat it courteously, my friend. If we are lucky, it will set us both free.”
Revek had never considered himself a captive. His duty was absolute: it persisted through death.
(It wasn’t his duty that bound him to the living world. He knew that. It was the unanswered questions, and the feeling that there was more—far more—to that one encounter.
He’d thought of it often. Dreamt of those scarlet eyes more than once.
He was a ghost, but it was that phantom that haunted him.)
He followed her. It was unnecessary. Seer knew her way around the Glade better, perhaps, than even he did. Her people had built them, and her people would maintain them even when his duty had finished.
(Would it ever be done?
Would he ever be free?
…would he ever see him again?)
Grass and moss hung from branches that jutted out through the canyon walls. Sheets of them braided downward like ropes of color dotting their path, and as they moved to darker portions of the Glade, Seer stopped and unscrewed the lid of her jar. Her hands went up and she held it gently into the air for the captured lumaflies to fly free and fly they did: they wove themselves through the sky in an immaculate performance, like starlight constellations in cool twilight hues, throwing shadows across the stones.
Revek watched them silently.
And Seer, also gazing at them, finally deigned to answer.
“Many have family buried in these lands. The one that you call ‘Grimm’ is no exception to this rule. He comes to grieve for his sister, who is not so much buried here, but symbolically, this place represents her death nevertheless.”
“His sister…?”
He’d vanished. He hadn’t visited any of the stones—though, if it was symbolic, perhaps that was why. Revek fidgeted uncomfortably, though, for the way that she worded her statement suggested that Grimm was not his real name.
(He’d said that it was.)
“He called himself a spiritualist,” Revek murmured. “The one time that we met. I did not know what that meant at the time.”
“He comes back once in a lifetime to this place. But soon more, I expect,” Seer answered. She turned toward him. His mask hid his confusion, he knew, but the way that she regarded him was one of idle amusement. “How fitting, that a ghost would be so interested in a psychopomp.”
“A…what?” Revek asked.
The moth fluttered her wings, and she looked back at the entrance of the Glade in quiet contemplation. She curled her hands along her elbows, tension settling in her wings. There was a quiet distance in her demeanor that he did not fully understand.
“A psychopomp. They are creatures who carry the spirits of the dead from one world to the next. And that is what he is, guardian: a psychopomp, summoned here to carry Hallownest itself away.” She did not sound happy about it. “He makes his lair above, in that sleepy village, but he will not stay there. He’ll come here, and when he does, you can ask him yourself who his sister is—who it is he mourns, and where.”
The moth stepped away and left Revek staring at her wings as she departed. He should have followed her, but the revelation that Grimm was in Hallownest felt like he’d had the oxygen ripped from his lungs.
He’d come back. He’d said that he would, that he did. He’d come back and—
And Revek was dead. The real him didn’t exist anymore.
But he could not shake the warmth that spread through him at her words and the realization of what they meant. That the strange butterfly might come back. That Revek might see him again.
And that maybe… if he was a ‘psychopomp,’ he might find time in his day for a ghost.
“We will see, I think, how sincere your words are. About how memorable you find my eyes.”

for the character ask game i would loooove to hear you go off about essence :))
[character ask game!!]
oh birdie you knew exactly what you were doing when you sent this in didn't you.
My first impression
I think I probably ran into her first in fic but I don't actually remember anything in that regard. First impression with the comic was that this was a character with a pretty design but somewhat... confusing of a storyline.
My impression now
God her canon portrayal is so annoying and inconsistent I SWEAR. Jason and her misunderstanding and misinterpretating what's going on and immediately jumping to kill each other has happened EVERY TIME and what is the point!!! Her backstory and motivations are so opaque and the flashbacks to their time together in the All-Caste keep on dangling the promise of an interesting story in front of me and then not delivering. Lobdell and Tynion IV when I GET YOU--
However I've thought about her too much and now I have brainworms. She is the side character I have adopted as my own. I understand her better than her creators ever will <3 (I have extrapolated a lot of conclusions from like 3 panels out of all her appearances. It is working out for me.)
Favorite thing about that character
The concept for her character. Particularly as a daughter to Ducra and one of the original Untitled. The fact she's been banished from the All-Caste apparently for not being willing to give up her "dark powers" when Ducra did? That's so interesting to me. It could be such a good parallel to how Jason's moral code causes a rift between him and Bruce. Tell me more. Lobdell you will surely explore this further, won't you? Lobdell aren't you gonna-- LOBDELL
Least favorite thing
Can I complain about Lobdell again. I will not. Instead I will complain about how her little like... intro narration box? You know the thing where comics will give you a little line to tell you who a character is if you don't know them already. Hers is that she's the "last human descendant of the All-Caste" which is just WRONG? She is the DAUGHTER OF THE UNTITLED. She is like, objectively not human at this point. JASON is the last human descendant of the All-Caste, maybe. Y'know, the first human they've taken in in over a century and the first in millennia to survive a cleansing? Y'know, that guy?? Also she literally reinstated the All-Caste at this point in the timeline why are we calling her the last human descendant. She's literally they're leader right now. I'm so mad I'm so mad I'msofmkgekmreklgm
Also I really don't like that her Blood Blades draw only the blood of the guilty or whatever like it does to Artemis in RH:O #45. Or the whole capturing souls thing in #35. I hate it I hate it I hate it girl please go back to fighting people with your smoke magic.
Favorite line/scene
I overall think the scene in RH:O #35 was bad but I do particularly like her lines here.
I have never wanted to lead the All-Caste... I am a soldier. Heart and soul.
Oh girl. Girl you are never escaping the legacy of your mother. Ignore the fact that Ducra is literally still alive even though we established that she died in the first issue and her ghost vanished back in RHatO v1 #27 I'm not mad.
Favorite interaction that character has with another
Her fight with Kori in RHatO v1 #22
I think using Tamaranean tech like this is very clever!! Essence is immortal, ancient, and very powerful, but alien tech was also a weakness for her back in Issue #7 and I think that's a nice touch.
Also the fact that Kori literally summoned her to try to talk and help Jason and they end up trying to kill each other for several pages is so funny to me. Like. In the next volume Essence also fights Artemis and possesses Isabel like... girl are you jealous that he's seeing other women? Is that what this is?
I think the thing with the amnesia arc where all of Jason's friends were trying to help him from different angles and with incomplete information and in the process fucked over each other's attempts forever could have been really interesting if written well.
Close runner-up:
Right before this Essence says:
We need to talk, Mother. About the great darkness that looms over all that lives. About a mistake you must at long last rectify.
It's giving the "I think we're gonna have to kill that guy" meme to me. And that was entertaining. These are the depths I need to sink to find hope.
A character that I wish that character would interact with more
ISABEL ARDILA. Genuinely fucking impressive that Lobdell managed to write them literally sharing the same body and have them not interact at all. I don't even know how he did it. He deserves an award. How does Isabel feel about this arrangement? How does Essence feel?? Like Issy you chose on purpose to pick up the sword again and keep letting Essence use your body in RH:O #49. Let's talk about that--no we're not going to? We have to move on and do Duela's arc and Red Hood: The Hill now? Oh. Oh okay. That's fine then.
Anyway I think they could turn the bodysharing into a beautiful symbiotic relationship if they tried. Essence/Isabel as a ship is slept on I swear.
Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character
Jerboa III/Boa from Wings of Fire. Her mother (Jerboa I) was an animus (basically a dragon that can do whatever magic except raise the dead) who created her and then basically kept editing her personality and existence for like 2,000 years so she could have the ideal daughter. Obviously this is very fucked up. Eventually Boa catches onto this, betrays Jerboa I and kills her, but not before Jerboa I curses her. We don't talk about what happened to Jerboa II. (We know that she "went wrong" and Jerboa I "disposed of" her.)
Do you see the vision. Ducra implanting "pure life" in Essence's body. Banishing her when Essence railed against what Ducra wanted for her. Essence's entire life being dedicated to this fight against the Untitled. Like we are very much getting into headcanon territory with Essence when I make this connection but Boa manages to escape her mother and also the entire fucked up legacy of animus magic and I think that is lovely for her. Manifesting that for Essence.
She's also Hornet from Hollow Knight just a little bit. To me.
A headcanon about that character
She is more headcanon than actual canon substance to me at this point. Um. She has mommy issues re: Ducra. Her banishment from the All-Caste was because Essence refused to purge the "dark magic" (The essence of the Well of Sins she carried in her, the bond that tied her to the other Untitled that Ducra had long cleansed from herself.) They'd been having disagreements since the beginning of time that just happened to be what finally made it boil over. I'm still a little vague on this but I think Ducra setting up the All-Caste and the truce with the Untitled had some long term negative consequences for the world (like how in RHatO #5 the Untitled in Middleton, Colorado had the townspeople under its thrall). Essence doesn't want to spend the rest of eternity waiting for the day the Untitled inevitably decide to take over the world, but Ducra is all 'this is your duty' about it. Also remember that the Untitled are Ducra's siblings and Essence's aunts/uncles.
Anyway Jason's admittance into the All-Caste was the trigger for Essence acting out against Ducra properly for the first time. Him being this fresh new perspective so hellbent on vengeance really helped her realize that she wanted more from her life than to be another soldier in Ducra's war against her siblings.
Do you see the parallels I'm shoving in here between her and Jason. I am just saying.
A song that reminds of that character
Alas I must expose myself as a non-music listener. I'm sorry. Random Gods from the Rain World soundtrack that's the best I can do.
An unpopular opinion about that character
Honestly I don't think anyone cares about her enough for there to be popular opinions but uhh. I think this panel is incorrect about her and Jason's relationship.
Boy and girl are always there for each other.
Are they? Are they??? God I wish they were. Goddammit.
Anyway. I think Essence building the All-Caste was actually the most boring fucking direction to take her character but I can't even be that mad because she was barely a coherent character to begin with. However, her recruiting for the All-Caste... where the fuck is she gonna get these recruits for this secret old as time warrior monk sect?? Why exist at all when all the Untitled are allegedly wiped out (i.e. the entire reason the All-Caste existed in the first place)?? Escape from the shadow of your family's legacy come onnn Essence you can do it I believe in you!!! AUGH.
Favorite picture
Shoutout to RH:O #35 for having some really pretty panels of her.
ANYWAY THAT'S IT FOLKS. If you actually read all of my inane ramblings, um. Thanks! I'm normal about Essence.

i am not about to put all of it in a text quote on here bc i already know i'm gonna go whole hog but THIS:
i wrote this smack in the middle of my UTRH/CMAD beginnings fic that i've been knawing on like a dog with a bone for months now and realized i am allowed to post things that don't have 500k words of leadup and context for a very self-indulgent, niche thing. (birdie inspired me everybody say ty birdie)
just.... the way dick and sofia are foils. the way they resent each other so fucking much for wanting the same things for jason, even though what that looks like to each of them is so wildly different. the way sofia knows she's been Seen, that dick understands how much jason means to her even if jason can't, and how he hates her for the perceived abuse of that loyalty.
she knows. SHE KNOWS. jason means the world to her -- he's her quasi-nephew. she is interally fucked up every single time he does this, and even more fucked up over the fact that he does this willingly over and over and over. she hates that she can't stop it and she hates that jason doesn't find a fault in her for it and at the same time she wouldn't stop him and she values his loyalty.
but sofia knows a hypocrite when she sees one and she saw it in her brother thirty years ago who loved her but let her rot in arkham instead of standing up to his father. dick isn't much different than alberto -- he gets to stand while jason has to flee. and that is something sofia never wants dick to forget.
5: What part was hardest to write?
the ending. i kept making it longer and longer and longer and then shorter and shorter and shorter and then rewriting and killing my darlings and probably makign a lot of really unncessary plans for how the room is laid out -- none of which are actually accounted for, by the way. why did i spend 3 days procrastinating on this because my brain was convinced that if i used the word 'bathroom' instead of 'restroom' it would cause ludonarrative dissonance. is there even a bathroom in this very official sounding place where mafia meetings are held. of fucking course there are. why didn't SOFIA go wash all the blood and gore and carrie-cosplay off. she probably did, but i didn't wanna write all that.
still not 110% chuffed with the ending, but then again i could really have dragged this one single scene out into an extremely unnecessary 10k words if i really let my instincts bolt away with me, and i have much better cmad stuff to write. LOL

Hello! This is a blog run by @reveks! I'll be posting a Revek every day, but please read through a few rules before sending any asks!
NSFW isn't allowed, but suggestive jokes will be! They'll be under a cut and tagged appropriately.
This blog is about Revek, but I may draw other characters for fun so don't be afraid to ask for them!
I have about 500+ designs for Revek due to AUs and there's a high chance they'll be cycled through depending on what I feel like drawing! They'll be tagged accordingly, but my main Revek design and the one I will probably draw the most is here!
You may request OCs (provided they're alongside the main star himself) but there is no guarantee I will draw them

Good evening Revek! I have something I'd like to ask you that I've always been curious about. What is it like looking after the Glade and many spirits resting inside it?
"It can get kind of boring... barely anything happens. I'm not complaining, though!"

Now before you ask... Yeh uh the Mamics (the species) were slightly inspired by the strange flesh demons from MO: Astray.

Picture 2:
Karma Caracal (Weird child 2 but with knife) (For elps1008698 on Screb)
Raven Konveylez (Byorb) (For @stridesthroughashes)
If you want, you can find what da hecc is the shop thing is about right here.
Also, finna b my last post of today-
Name(s): Mamics 01 & Mamics 02

Revek, the lil rascal ❤
favorite thing about them
I love how he was dead serious on beating you up if you dreamnail him or anyone in the glade
least favorite thing about them
Nothing really other than the lack of info on him (which is still fine on its own tho)
favorite line
"To protect? Was that my task? If so, who was I protecting? It's only you and me here." :,(
brOTP
I guess either between Revek and Xero, Revek and Millybug, or Revek and Lace ( < for Abug Us reasons)
OTP
Again, for Abug Us reasons, Grimm/Revek ain't that bad-
nOTP
N/A
random headcanon
Can't really think of much, but I like to think that he sees the spirits of the glade as his family, so that's one of his reasons he's very protective of them (just makes it sadder that he forgets it all after they're all gone)
unpopular opinion
N/A he's cool :]
song i associate with them
Once again for Abug Us reasons, here
favorite picture of them
Fanart wise, this piece :]
Ask game
