Buck gets adopted by a cat and loves it, but immediately the cat tries to claim the spots on the bed/couch/etc where Tommy usually sits. And Buck is v. much 'don't move the cat' so they end up both sitting in Buck's spot usually with Buck in Tommy's lap. To avoid disturbing the cat, you know?

i thought you were going to surprise me with a modern magic au where tommy has been turned into a cat, but this is nice too 😅🐈

Original Work: hear something there in the shadow by @capriciouswrites [SafelyCapricious on ao3]

DC: Constantine/Jason Todd, Original Demonic Character, Bruce Wayne, Sentient Gotham City | Rating: Mature

Summary: 

So Constantine will either have to guess, and will use the wrong name, and Edvich will be free again — or he'll have to banish the body he's inhabiting and the soul he's locked up, in the attempt. The soul in question is obviously the self-sacrificing sort, and has been screaming to banish them both to save everyone else since Constantine swaggered in and explained the options to the children. "Would B know the demon's name if we get it to possess someone else?"

Notes: treat for @flowerparrish, who requested Sentient Gotham, during Pod-O-Ween 2024. Also fills the prompt "spice(y)" & is a fill for my podfic bingo card "POV outsider."

Sketch for @safelycapricious for her fic

[gunabug]

Fic Search!!

Looking for any well written JayRoy fics, especially along the lines of the Batfam realizing that JayRoy is a thing. (Bonus points if Dick takes psychic damage from it) . They can be funny or serious, just so long as there's at least a hopeful ending. Thanks!

I've already read (and enjoyed) :

Oh by AlexaAffect

Dick Grayson and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Two To Three Weeks (But Who's Counting) by dietpudding

another try not to cry christmas by fadinglight123

P.S. To anybody saving this for their own recs, these are also some favorite JayRoy fics, they just don't have the theme of the Batfam finding out. Enjoy!

TJA Sequel Exchange Masterpost

What is a sequel exchange, you may ask?

Well, when you have a ship-focused server full of writers and artists, there will be so many people who want more of that one specific fic (or, as it turns out, so many specific fics). And what better way to motivate people to write than an exchange?

Here's what we did (in alphabetical order):

@araydre made this gorgeous art for Skalidra's fic More Chances Than Deserved:

set in chapter 3, Jason and Slade sparring before Billy arrives

@arkhammaid wrote Fangs and Claws (sinking into me) , a new work in the Fangs and Claws series for @bittercape:

Theory says both the Alpha and Omega must consent to entering a mating dance for it to even have a chance in being succesful. Reality proves once again that theory can be fucking bullshit.

@bittercape wrote Midnight at City Hall, a sequel to 4am at Denny's for @safelycapricious:

“What’s wrong?” he asks, because obviously something is wrong for Roy to be calling like this. “Jason,” Roy says, sounding a little faint. “Stay put,” Slade says, and then he calls in the big guns.

@darbydoo22 wrote Happy Birthday Steve, a sequel to Sit By the Fire for astranne:

Dick Grayson introduces the family to his boyfriend, Steve Rogers, during the Wayne family’s annual Fourth of July party.

@katzynia wrote Piece by piece, a sequel to Every piece of you for littledevilbean:

A month after their last encounter, Slade shows up to see how the life has been treating Jason. And to show him a thing or two.

@lisholoz drew Slade in Red Hood's gear as a sequel to Jason in Deathstroke's armour:

Boyfriend hoodie? Pfft. Steal your BFs vigilante gear

@littledevilbean wrote Bad Habits (and how to share them), a sequel to in the office ( 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘬𝘦𝘺) for @notherdeadrobin:

In Slade's defense, it wasn't like he was trying to create a pattern.

@marquisedesaad wrote Turning the Advantage, a new work in the Taken Advantage series for @paprikadotmp4:

Dick and Bruce investigate in the aftermath of Jason's abduction. Meanwhile, Slade turns the situation to his advantage.

@marirah wrote two fics for darbydoo, candlelight and good morning, new works in the of Year of the OTP/Year of Jason and Slade 2023 (combined) series:

Dick and Tim have a date night in

Jason and Slade (and Peter and Damian) start to adjust to their new apartment

@safelycapricious wrote BE TRUE?, a sequel to BE MINE? for GavotteandGigue:

In an event that honestly Jason doesn’t foresee, the next day doesn’t bring him the chance to go out and figure out what the fuck Deathstroke is thinking. Not just because the idiot hadn’t cleaned up the crime scene and Bruce had taken the “BE MINE, RED HOOD?” as a threat instead of a courting gesture. But also because his cramps are persisting. Which is just. Fucking. Perfect.

Life happens, so there are a couple more sequels coming in a later reblog, but in the meantime: read, look, and remember to keep your fancreators fed and watered (commented, reblogged and kudos'd).

Last Six Lines

---

Clint had no shoes, what remained of his clothes was in tatters, and his hands held only the slim metal scalpel.

Not a problem.

He’d always been his own best weapon, after all.

The guard hit the floor, bloodless. Clint licked his lips and laughed softly as he continued barefoot down the hallway. It was a start. It would not be the end.

Weekly Batman/DC Fic Recs (2)

This week I've mostly read dark fics, focused on unhealthy and toxic romantic/sexual relationships. One was a fascinating study of Bruce's inappropriate relationships with Dick, Jason, and Tim and his guilt and excuses. There're also two fantastic Bruce/Jason fics, exploring their complicated relationship and history. Additionally, I've found an amazing post-Dark Crisis enemies to lovers Slade/Dick fic and a funny relationship reveal Slade/Jason fic. Apart from that, we also have a Damian/Dick relationship study with trans Damian and a recurring motif of blood. And the last rec is a spectacular long canon divergent one-shot centered on Cass/Rose and their relationships with their fathers. Hope you enjoy the recs <3

Oliver was fuming by the time Bruce pulled up to the house. “You keep your fucked up family bullshit the hell out of my city,” he told Bruce quietly, as he and Mia exited the car.

Bruce didn’t say anything.

Oliver hadn’t expected him to.

this isn't what it looks like (depending on what it looks like) by SafelyCapricious

Tim must make a noise — because suddenly Deathstroke is whirling. But most importantly, he’s let go of Hood. Hood doesn’t do more then slowly lower his arms though as Tim freezes.

Deathstroke, no less intimidating sans mask, stares at him menacingly for a minute before glancing over his shoulder to a still dazed Hood — shit, hopefully he doesn’t have a concussion — “I’ll find you later,” and then he’s taking off.

Tim rushes to Jason, who swats him away with a, “Fuck off, what do you want?” seeming more alert now that Deathstroke has gone.

Five times the Bats thought that Deathstroke and Red Hood were fighting and one time they found out differently.

do cherries bleed? by dikudami

Years pass—Damian's father is still dead, and Grayson and him are so in sync he sometimes can’t tell where his own thoughts start and Grayson’s end. But just like others, Grayson doesn't want Damian.

But Grayson stays. Doesn’t that count for something? It must.

Or, Damian Wayne knows better than anyone that need and want are not the same.

[Podfic] hey baby won't you look my way by @safelycapricious

Marvel/DC: Jason Todd/Clint Barton/Roy Harper | Rated: M | Length: 11 mns

“I should’ve gone with Kori, Nat, and Bucky,” he says to himself. The other two haven’t paid any attention to any of his side commentary yet tonight, so he’s surprised when Roy tosses a frown his way. “They’re having girl talk, Jaybird, you’re bad at girl talk,” is Roy’s immediate response. “Wait, how can you be bad at girl talk?” Clint sounds baffled. “Wait, does that mean Bucky is good at girl talk? Am I bad at girl talk?”

WIP Wednesday!

tagged by my darling @safelycapricious 🥰

this is from a wip I started posting this month, working chapter title is "there's a what in there"

“I’m sorry. Could you repeat that?” Slade asks. He’s doing his best to keep his voice level, but he’s not sure it’s working. He takes Jason’s hand without thinking, twisting their fingers together and only just remembering that he can’t squeeze too hard - he doesn’t know if he’s imagining the doctor’s disapproving look, but he doesn’t want to break Jason’s hand in front of her either way.

“We’ll have to wait until your full blood panel comes back to be one hundred percent certain, but I’m familiar with pregnant omegas.” Leslie adds to the nurse. “Thank you, Lisa.”

The woman nods, then leaves the room.

“You have options, of course, but I would recommend speaking with a specialist about it, rather than continuing care here.”

Instead of thank you or something, once the goons are unconscious or dead (they aren’t in Gotham it’s fine) the first thing the guy says to him is, “You’re not my archer.”

“And you’re not my muzzled marksman, baby, but you don’t see me making a thing about it,” Roy shoots back, since the guy in question is wearing a muzzle very similar to the one that Jason sports these days.
