Clockwork watches as the scenes unfold from the screen in front of him, a fond smile on his face.

He chuckles at the awkward farewell young Danny leaves one of Gotham’s Knights with.

However, as his gaze turns to one of the other screens, his expression switches from amused fondness to one of contemplation.

As he watches the recently deceased manic clown cackle his head off at the revelation of his newly ghostly existence, Clockwork can do no more than let out a weary sigh.

As much as he would like to interfere so young Danny would not have to deal with this endeavor, alas, he is not allowed.

Regardless, he muses, Danny will be able to handle it quite well on his own. Clockwork has complete confidence in him, as he gazes at the many timelines that may yet come to pass.

It will all work out in the end...

After taking some deep breaths to calm himself somewhat, Jason puts his glove back on before getting back on his motorcycle and leaving the apartment building behind.

He should probably use the rest of the night to sleep, as it’s already quite late.

However, not too long after he leaves he starts feeling eyes on him. He's being watched, and he has a pretty good guess of just who it could be...

And that guess is confirmed when he sees the shadows moving across the rooftops.

Of course, they followed the tracker to find out what he's up to even after he told them not to follow

He lets out an irritated sigh as he revs the engine and makes his motorcycle pick up more speed. At this point he’s most likely going way over the speed limit but, it’s Gotham, so no one’s gonna care.

At least they only just found him and started following him, rather than when he was still with Danny. Small mercies…

Though, he notes with mild curiosity, interestingly enough Replacement doesn’t seem to be with them.

Jason decides not to jinx his luck by questioning it, for now. Tim’s probably just overworking himself on a case again while doped up on so much of his awful Red Bull, Monster, and coffee mixture monstrosity that he should’ve had a caffeine overdose by now 3 times over.

Either way, Jason’s so not in the mood for their questions

Jason wants to keep his family as far away from Danny as possible, for as long as he can. And not just because of their not date, but he wants to help Danny keep people off his back about the murder of the Joker.

While, as he has mentioned to Danny before, most people will probably celebrate his death more than anything, he wants to spare Danny from B’s disappointment and his 5 hour long morals speech at the very least.

At that point, Jason decides to try to throw his stalkers off by making some unexpected, sharp turns and using a lot of alleys. He avoids the cameras and makes a point to also disable the cam and tracker the Bats ‘sneakily’ left in his helmet, again.

…

After spelling out ‘Fuck off’ with the tracker’s path on the map.

Luckily for him, Jason has just made it to Crime Alley, which is his turf. He knows his way around better than the furry brigade that's still following him does and he’ll gladly use this to his advantage.

With a small grumble that's muffled due to his helmet, he decides to try another more blunt method to try and dissuade them from following him.

Or, at the very least, distract them so that he has an easier time getting away.

0 days without the Joker breaking out of Arkham

OGnerd: Stop stalking me.

OGnerd: I was just following up on a lead on a case I’ve been working on.

OGnerd: Besides, shouldn’t you all be focusing on finding that clown freak instead of stalking me after I explicitly said not to.

Omnipotent: Do you buy flowers for all of your ‘leads’ or are those just for the cute ones? 🤨

Discowing: Oh!!!! 😲 He got them flowers?? 🌼 That’s so cute! 🥰 I didn’t take you for such a romantic, Jay 😉

BloodSon: Considering Todd’s reading material it should not have come as much of a surprise, Richard.

BatDad: Red Hood, what do you know about the disappearance of the Joker?

BatDad: Is the person you were meeting with involved?

OGnerd: Nothing and no. Now leave me alone.

OGnerd: Middle finger emoji.

~ OGnerd changed the name of BatDad to WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl ~

~ OGnerd locked the name of WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl ~

WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: Red Hood, this is extremely immature.

WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: Change my name back and come to the cave for a meeting, now.

WhyDoesClarkCallYouBabyGirl: That was a misunderstanding and you know it.

Jason turns his phone back off and mutes the chat once again. He managed to throw them off of his trail a bit ago and just now reached his apartment.

They know where he lives, yes, but it seems that they had finally noticed how not in the mood he was and decided to make the smart decision to give up and leave him the hell alone. For now at least…

Jason wouldn’t be surprised if they showed up at his apartment tomorrow anyway. But the metal baseball bat by the door and the gun in his holster should help.

After getting inside he changes out of his clothes and takes his time taking a shower. After getting out, drying off,  and putting on something comfortable he practically collapses onto the couch.

His eyes fall onto the faded number sequence still scribbled on his hand. With a small smile on his face, while thinking of the person who wrote it, he takes his phone back out again and makes a new contact.

While he’d love to call it some sappy shit like ‘Danny <3’, he knows his family and it has enough hackers in it that he’d rather make the contact name a bit less obviously stand out.

It takes a while, but after thinking back on Danny’s space rambles earlier that evening in the observatory, Jason settles on a contact name.

He names it Nova, after a supernova.

He doesn’t know how right he is.

— prompt: "I didn't know."

Pete finds him in the library, staring at a children's book. "Are you okay?"

"She died today", is all Vegas says.

"Oh. I didn't know. Tell me about her?"

Vegas opens the book. Two thirds into it, to a page he never finished. As expected, a flower falls out.

As long as there's someone to give you flowers sometimes, you'll know there's someone who loves you.

The words sound strange coming out of his mouth, and they taste like ashes.

But the next day, for the first time since that day, there are flowers on the table.

I love you.

big hater of the "james repeatedly asked lily out in ridiculous ways even though she kept rejecting him" headcanon BUT i think the idea of james unconventionally 'courting' lily after they both admitted to their feelings is very cute and should be used more

I was supposed to share this earlier but work called so.

I am here now and I will share a Valentine's related commission!

This beautiful piece was made by Hiragii Tsukasa (@iwanttobeaseme) of tumblr. I absolutely adore how this turned out. Hiragii-san was such a pleasure to work with, and was so accommodating with my requests.

I can just see how this is probably a year or so into Reiner's return to Marley. Where, throughout that time, him and Kristina had developed a friendship which eventually ended up with them secretly just wanting a little more.

I mean, Kristina from the get-go was alright with some one-sided pining on her end (because she just wants to see Reiner happy, first and foremost), so despite wishfully thinking that it's nice to have his affection, she was fine if he had eyes for someone else.

After all, their agreement was that... Until Reiner finds someone who he truly wanted by his side, Kristina was willing to be the friend who kept him on track as he atones for the crimes that he committed.

Despite their odd setup as friends, Reiner always ends up appreciating Kristina's often aggressive pep-talks. It didn't take him too long to realize that her callous words and sharp-tongued remarks were facades to ensure that she wasn't considered 'friendly' with him. Reiner knew the repercussions better than most, if a Marleyan was even suspected of having an affair with an Eldian. He knew that she didn't want to cause any trouble or misunderstandings. And frankly, that sort of consideration for him, was something that he found... endearing? He didn't know what to make of it, but it was something that surely made him feel seen, and also cared for... in a way. He didn't want to read too much into it.

When thoughts like "gotta marry her one day" enter his mind every time Kristina seems a little more caring than usual (usually when they are alone, thus catching him off guard), he chases the thought away quickly. Often times he would convince himself that he was just remembering Krista, that one girl from Paradis who always treated him with so much care and kindness. Convinced himself that it was wrong and unfair to project these feelings onto someone who he assumed was simply being kind. It was just tough at times since it's not every day that someone cared about him like this. So, there were days when even he was just lost in a little haze of far-fetched wants and what-ifs. Plus, he knew better than to pursue something with a Marleyan. Just because he was an Honorary didn't mean they were the same. Because he painstakingly understood this at a young age, he knew better. As his eyes sometime follow her steps when she leaves for the day, all that he could tell himself at the back of his mind was that he knew better. He knew better...

So, it was a real shock to them when they ended up receiving a little something from one another; leaving both quite flustered. Kristina, for one didn't expect to receive a handful of her favorite flowers from Reiner. When and how did he even learn about it? On the other hand, it didn't even cross Reiner's mind that Kristina would bother giving him something.

However, perhaps what flustered them the most was the surprise of acceptance. The intent behind the gifts... the effort and the emotion, were not rejected.

Without saying a word or explaining themselves in that short span of time, they have come to realize that perhaps they were both on the same page after all.
