Tim works part time as a private investigator, to keep himself entertained and his mind interested. The case he's set on is nothing big, just another paranoid husband who thinks his wife's cheating on him. But in this case, there actually is a hot, shirtless guy who's hanging around the wife's house. That bears investigating.

"Teach Me How to Fight (I'll show you how to win)" by Skalidra book take 2.

I was not terribly happy with take 1 so I did it again. I am never using vinyl as a cover material ever again.

Last one is a side by side with take 1 on the left and take 2 on the right. The black book is more like a real book and actually feels like a real book.

I may write up about the process if people are interested.

Deceptive Appearances

When Slade finds himself locked into Arkham Asylum, a ghost from his past talking to him at all hours of the day, it's not a turn of events that he's at all pleased with. But beyond the host of psychotic criminals locked inside, maybe there are allies as well; other people that want out. That is, if he can manage to trust them. Or them, him.

[shrugemojiidk]

what I’m thinking: these two characters haven’t interacted much in canon but they have a lot of interesting parallels and contrasts that would make a really interesting pair if they were forced to interact extensively

what I say out loud: I need them locked in a room together until one of them gets pregnant

[artistic-lj]

Why would someone reply, knowing I’d get a notification, and then block me? And also, my only real issue was that I was 1) disappointed that the top ships were familial figures and 2) very upset/uncomfortable at the concept of shipping an adult with a child if the child had not been aged up.

So then I searched their username on tumblr andddd…

Yeah. That would be why. I didn’t even say that it was wrong to ship them. I said “the part of the Batman/batfam fandom that I’m in very much views them as siblings…”

Like… I’ve READ Jaydick fanfictions before, they’re not my favorite things but I think they’re interesting and cute/enjoyable when they’re not portrayed as siblings. Or if they are, it’s in passing like “oh yeah this person is supposed to be my brother figure but I never viewed him that way, yadda yadda.”

Actually, since the person who blocked me-

(after we had literally never interacted and I purposefully made sure I didn’t tag my post with any of the ships I was talking negatively about BECAUSE I didn’t want those people to see it and feel negatively about my opinions)

-writes Jaydick, here’s a fic recommendation from the one I read the other day: it’s a poly ship fic between Jason Todd/Dick Grayson/Koriand’r/Roy Harper. It’s called Under Your Nose by withthekeyisking on Ao3. While I don’t personally tend to ship Jaydick, I thought the way Dick and Jason’s relationship was handled here was really well executed; and it was clear to me as a reader that they never truly viewed each other as brothers. I could be misinterpreting the author’s intentions, but that’s what I read it as.

Anyway, I genuinely do not care what people write and post, as long as it’s all properly tagged and people know what they’re getting into when they start. I saw a fic the other day that was literally an entire Batfamily orgy and Alfred was going room to room cleaning stuff while it was happening. It was FUNNY, even if that’s probably not what the author intended. I enjoyed skimming through it because I saw that it was tagged properly and I PERSONALLY was curious, despite my reservations on shipping batfamily members, especially the bat brothers.

And obviously I cannot remove tags from a post I am reblogging but I did my best to avoid tagging ANYTHING that had to do with the ships I was talking negatively about, like I said before. So I guess a Jaydick search was all it took to lead @/skalidra to my post?? Like… I know tumblr is known for its poor reading comprehension, as seen in the Taylor Swift bisexual thread, but I didn’t think that something like that would ever impact a post of mine because literally none of my posts ever reach ANYONE.

But of course THIS POST, the one where I say I’m technically “anti-ship” just because I know people would label me as such, even after I repeatedly say that they can ship whatever they want and I’m just personally opposed to incestuous/semi-incestuous and adult/minor ships. Like… I don’t know… why would you publicly reply and announce that you view my post as a blocklist before blocking me…?? when I can still see replies because my posts literally go NO WHERE ever, to the point that I still have email notifications on and they DONT bother me.

Anyway, I guess I’m “virtue signaling” and “can’t handle stats” because I used the hellsite to publicly voice to the void that I dislike ships including minor/adult pairings and am not a fan of ships that have incestuous undertones, even when they’re not related. And just to repeat for the people who are still upset with me I guess(???): YOU CAN SHIP WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT AS LONG AS YOU TAG IT PROPERLY. But in that same vein of you being able to ship whatever you want and vocalize it publicly: OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO DISLIKE YOUR SHIPS AND VOCALIZE THAT PUBLICLY WITHOUT BEING VIRTUE SIGNALERS.

Anyway, that’s all, have a nice day, Tumblr <3

[nolanfa]

More of the Annoyingly Friendly Dick Grayson that's not in letter but absolutely is in spirit a fic illustration. The last one specifically is heavily inspired by A bark worse than his bite, by @skalidra, which has *very* good character dynamics

In which Nightwing has absolutely no clue about the identity of the Red Hood but still decides he is friend-shaped even though Jason is (figuratively) shouting at the top of his lungs "I am Big! And Bad! And Fearsome!".

Here on AO3 , and the other parts of that series on tumblr (when they get done) here

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: DCU (Comics) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Dick Grayson/Jason Todd Characters: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd Additional Tags: Crushes, Kidnapping, Getting Together Summary:

Jason's had one of the most unfair crushes on Dick pretty much since he was old enough to get them. He's never told anyone, or acted on it, or made an idiot of himself the way he knows he would if he actually tried to make anything happen with someone like Dick. But when a local magazine prints an article claiming that the Red Hood is dating Richard Grayson (with a damning photo attached as 'proof'), it turns out Jason might not have any choice but to face it all head on.

~~

Jason's honestly not sure how he's the first person to find it. Sure, he's generally slightly more of a morning person than Dick—'morning' being by the measure of any Gotham-trained vigilante, which isn't impressive—but he also doesn't usually pay any attention to Gotham's gossip-rags, unlike Bruce or Dick (or anyone else in the family, honestly). He prefers to get his information straight from people, or from his very carefully curated searches and networks. He doesn't usually get it by seeing something strange out of the corner of his eye at the local mini-mart, glancing down, and seeing himself on the cover.

Not himself-himself, thankfully, but a really impressively clear mid-action shot of the Red Hood in the arc of a swing on his grapnel, and a very familiar, very unfortunate, very obviously recognizable man with legs wrapped around his waist and arms thrown over his shoulders.

‘RED HOOD DATING WAYNE HEIR?!’ the magazine proclaims, loudly and obnoxiously and completely incorrectly.

[kindlingkeen]

do you have any good fic recs? i've just finished reading all of your fics (AMAZING btw i LOVE competent jason and you write him sooo well) and obviously you have good taste so i thought i might as well ask (i will say that i don't really do ship fics tho)

thank you! looking forward to what you have in store for jason and the batfam next!

First, thank you for the ask! And I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying my fics!! 😊 I’m on vacation this week and finally writing again (had a bit of a rough writer’s block patch). So hopefully I’ll be posting more content in the next couple of weeks.

Fic recs - boy do I ever. I will say, I have super varied tastes in fics, I’ll read just about anything Gen that’s Jason-centric, plus a few Jason ships (although I’m pretty picky about what actually makes it into my bookmarks). All of the fics I’m rec’ing below are Gen, although some might have flavors of a relationship (likely JayRoy since that’s my preferred pairing). I tried to pick a selection of different styles and tropes, so hopefully you find something you like. Almost all these authors have multiple fics I’ve loved, so look at their other works on ao3 for more great reading (you may need to be logged into ao3 to see some of them). Enjoy!

Glow in the Dark Stars by essspressso (stylesmakethefight) 

This is a time travel fic that made me bawl ugly tears, like seriously bawl. Read if in need of a good cry.

The Cold Like Coming Home by cabezas_de_vaca 

An interesting one-shot of Jason and Bruce finding their way back to each other.

More Chances Than Deserved 'Verse by Skalidra  @skalidra

A series that starts out post batarang, Jason does not rejoin the family.

Gotham CPS by ebjameston 

Not sure how to even describe this one, it’s pure hilarity told by an outsider POV.

Nests and Cages by LanternWisp, Lysical @lanternwisp

A series detailing Jason’s journey back to the family. The last installment of the series has probably the best reconciliation discussion between Jason and Bruce re: Bruce taking on another Robin that I’ve ever read.

Buy One Get One Free by Here_we_go

A series that starts with catatonic Jason. I love how Jason is written in this one so so much (especially the main first part), and there’s a short segment later in the series with Talia that’s lovely.

fever by r_astra  @heyy-its-skip

One-shot. Quality batdad in the context of a sick fic

nightmares and daydreams by r_astra @heyy-its-skip

One-shot. Beware, there’s some heavy duty torture in this one. Jason & Tim isn’t usually my thing, but I really like their brief interaction in this one.

all the small weights by sparkycap

One-shot. More quality batdad, this time in the context of fear toxin

a (cat)astrophe in the making by mikkal

Part of a loosely connected series, if I’m remembering correctly. I’m a firm believer that Jason Todd needs a cat.

Red Hood by envysparkler @envysparkler

An amazing Jason rejoins the family, classic fix it, set early in Lost Days continuity. Envysparkler’s works are pretty much solely responsible for getting me into the Batfam. This fic in particular motivated me to start writing TPWC.

Overcoming Our Antecedents by Batbirdies @batbirdies

De-aging fic, this isn’t my favorite trope, but of what’s out there, I like the dynamics in this one.

Things We Only Talk About After Dark by BabblingBookends

One-shot. More good batdad, but not fluffy like the other two above. I really like how Bruce is written in this one, how he struggles with the unknown.

Kidnapped! by Cerusee @cerusee

One-shot set in Jason’s Robin days. One of my favorites for father and son feels.

A MOMENT THAT'S HELD IN YOUR ARMS. by orpheusaki

More baby Robin Jay and good dad Bruce.

White Lighters / Afterglow by lurkinglurkerwholurks @lurkinglurkerwholurks

One-shot. Another one that legitimately made me cry.

Druthers by d_aia @e-alexandrescu

A really creative, not-your-typical-take on Jason rejoining the family. Sniper Jason is so frelling cool.

I linked the tumblr’s for the authors I know of. If you have any to add, leave them in the comments and I’ll update!

Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: DCU (Comics), Batman (Comics) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Tim Drake/Jason Todd Characters: Tim Drake, Jason Todd Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Urban Fantasy, Alternate Universe - Mythology, Sarcasm, Injury Summary:

Usually when people interrupt the middle of his phone conversations, uninvited, Tim's just annoyed. However, when that person just happens to be an attractive stranger that also knows a thing or two about Lower Gotham's tunnel system, which he's very much interested in mapping, well, maybe Tim can forgive the rudeness. Assuming, of course, that the stranger agrees to be his guide. (And no, he doesn't believe any of the urban legends, thank you very much. It's just superstition.)

storm thirst by cheju

A quiet confrontation on a stormy night.

-

exactly what it looks like by cheju

Slade keeps going on so-called dates in Dick’s city. Uh huh, sure, he’s going on “dates” with assassins and spies. Not on Dick’s watch, he isn’t.

Five times Dick stops Slade from getting laid. One time he doesn’t.

M | No Archive Warnings Apply | Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson

Now, years later, Deathstroke has planted bombs throughout the city on a job with a ticking clock - they need to know the locations, but Slade isn't talking.

Between the Saids and Unsaids by withthekeyisking

It's been years since Dick Grayson was forced into acting as Slade Wilson's apprentice. Years since he was manipulated, abused, used, and he never told anyone the details.

Dick knows he'll talk to him. He owes him, after all that he did.

M | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings | Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson, Batfamily Members & Dick Grayson

And now he's bound and drugged kneeling in front of the man, being presented as a gift.

Shifting Grounds by withthekeyisking

The last time Dick saw Deathstroke the Terminator, the mercenary was trying to kill him and his friends.

M | No Archive Warnings Apply | Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson

He didn't count on spotting Grayson the instant he arrives on site.

Familiar Plays by withthekeyisking

Being hired to hunt down a mole for the latest mafia boss is easy money, in Slade's opinion. Interrogate a few people, track down some leads, hand over the idiot once he finds them to surely be tortured for information.

Give Me a Break by Skalidra

Slade's a pretty common fixture in Dick's life, so it's not really a surprise when he hunts down the warehouse of a gang he's tracking and finds that Slade's been hired to protect it for the night. He's also definitely not about to back down just because of that, so he goes in anyway. He's not expecting to beat Slade, but he's not expecting the consequences of trying either, and even though Slade isn't a fan of torture, he'll do a lot as long as he's paid for it.

Not a problem, right?

Strokes of Luck by firefright, Skalidra

When Dick's ship breaks apart in a storm, sending most of his crew to their deaths and stranding him on — of all places — Tortuga, all he really wants is to find a ship headed back to Gotham. Lucky for him, there is one. The Deathstroke, headed by the infamous Captain Slade Wilson, as notoriously ruthless and deadly a pirate as Dick's ever heard of. All he has to do is make the journey without Slade ever finding out he's a Navy officer.

M | No Archive Warnings Apply | Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson

Slade turns his head, clearing the blind spot of his missing eye to find the source of that irritating, all too familiar voice. Black hair, brilliant blue eyes, with the finest, tailored doublet in rich blue and black laced close to his chest. Lean, handsome to an unnaturally perfect degree, and with enough power in his bones to kill anyone in this room, except for him.

Different Schools of Thought by firefright, Skalidra

"What did you do to your hair?"

Probably.

It'd be a hell of a fight.

M | No Archive Warnings Apply | Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson, Jason Todd/Slade Wilson, Dick Grayson/Jason Todd/Slade Wilson

He didn’t realize, then, how that meeting would end up changing the rest of his life.

the road less traveled by wingdingery

When Deathstroke’s attack catches the Teen Titans off-guard, Dick finds himself getting help from an unexpected source: Deathstroke’s ex-husband, Slade Wilson.

M | No Archive Warnings Apply | Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson, Dick Grayson & Adeline Kane Wilson

He does not see it coming, when one of the henchmen in this drug operation turns out to be on some Venom knock-off.

Black Gold Blues by wednesday

The gut punch is what gets him. Dick knows all the ways to tense and relax correctly to take any kind of hit with the least damage to himself, but that only works when he’s prepared, when he sees the hit coming.

Dick gets captured. Then things get worse.

pressure points by wednesday

“It’s done, nothing for you to do here. Let's go,” Deathstroke says two steps behind him. Like he—like he expects Dick to just go with him. Like he thinks it’s possible to ignore the slaughterhouse right in front of them. Like Dick doesn’t feel the sinking weight of devastation pressing him down, breaking him into pieces.

Running On Empty by Sandrine Shaw (Sandrine)

"Don't even think about it," Slade said without turning his attention away from the road. "I'm not allowed to drug you, but that doesn't mean I won't knock you out again if you don't behave."

M | No Archive Warnings Apply | Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson

Trespassing by Sandrine Shaw (Sandrine)

Slade deals with a security breach in his Gotham safehouse.

“I didn’t get kidnapped because I’m not a kid,” he said, like that’s what they should be worrying about right now, “I got abducted. You got kidnapped.”

Two Birds, One Stone by Nightwang

“You got kidnapped by Deathstroke?!” Jason asked, incredulous, if rather redundantly. Dick rolled his eyes like Jason was the biggest idiot in the room which- totally wasn’t fair.

For the SladeRobin Weekend prompt Abduction/Kidnapping.

Deathstroke, in full armour barring his helmet, had Dick, naked as the day he was born, pinned to a bed.

Yeah, he love me (but he fucks me like he hates my guts) by Naphorism

Jason lurched to his feet, stomach lurching right along with him, and stumbled around the monitor until he could watch the footage displayed on the Batcomputer’s main screen. His heart practically stopped once his brain understood what his eyes were seeing.

M | Rape/Non-Con | Jason Todd & Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson & Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson & Jason Todd, Dick Grayson/Slade Wilson, Dick Grayson & Jason Todd & Damian Wayne

“My terrifying competence,” Slade deadpans. Glaring, he adds, “And my astonishing kill count.”

Inside the Mirror by Naphorism

“Talk about pretty,” Dick comments, still stroking the arch of Slade’s brow. “You call me pretty all the time, but look at you. I’d almost call you cute. How was anyone scared of you?”

Playing with Uranium by BlameTheMachines

Slade invites Dick into his study for a friendly chat about Rose’s training. It goes poorly.

Dick fought the frown from surfacing. "Stop being an asshole."

Daphne Blue by Alicegivesgifts (Alicelikesgravity)

"Why indeed? I can't seem to remember," Slade made a show of examining the watch on his wrist. "Might have something to do with you being late."

Slade's lips curled upwards in mirth. "Sit down, little bird."

And ignoring every bone in his screaming body, Dick sat down.

Jason's not as put out as he wants to appear by having to share a bed with Dick. Slade's very much put out by Jason sharing a bed with Dick. They cope.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: DCU (Comics) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Tim Drake Additional Tags: Canon Compliant, Angst, Family Dynamics Summary:

Assumptions tend to be harmless. Little misunderstandings, with no consequences but some temporary confusion, usually, but there are some incorrect assumptions that his family has made that Jason would rather were never corrected. Not if he's the one that has to correct it, anyway. Of course, the universe pretty much seems to enjoy screwing him over every chance it gets. Why would this be any different?

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).
