im so normal abt sibling relationships in media i swear

[everwalldigan]

Dick: were you even a Robin if you haven’t climbed up Bruce and sat on his shoulders?

(Later)

Bruce: Hello Damia- What are you doing??

Damian (arms crossed sitting on Bruce’s shoulders): fulfilling my duties as Robin, what does it look like I’m doing?

[ghost-bxrd]

This one looks so silly right now but I gotta trust the process 💪😭🤣

[auspicioustidings]

You fool (complimentary, ilu), it was a trap! By which I mean drabbles below 😘

Dark anything. First thing I type on Ao3 for new things I like is “dark __” lol

"How is the little dove?" Price asked, sipping at his tea as he eyed the cage. The poor thing looked like she was wilting away today.

"Aww she's naw feeling too great, had tae clip her wings a few days ago" Johnny replied, standing to go and reach a hand through the bars, running a loving hand over the bandage around your ankle. It stung, of course it stung, and you hissed and tried to move away from the touch.

"Now now little birdie, unruffle those feathers, you were the one who tried to fly away. It's safer for you this way" Simon scolded, not standing from his seat across from Price but making the threat that he would very clear.

You relented much to Johnny's delight, letting him call Kyle over to show how well trained you were to sing on command.

It was ok, the pain wouldn't be forever you knew. You could try fly away again in 6 months once your Achilles tendon was healed again.

Soulmate AU!!!! Oh my god I love a soulmate AU

You did not want to die. You especially did not want to die because of a bloody maniac seeing fit to blow up the building that you worked in.

You could barely breathe with all the smoke and debris in the air, but at least the floor hadn't collapsed yet. Couldn't be long though, you could hear the building letting out great sighs as if struggling to stay upright. If it came down you were toast. You took a breath and rubbed a hand to the raised words on your collarbone to steady yourself. Old habit. Your words had been there since you were born, the handwriting so bad that everyone assumed you must have a doctor for a soulmate.

You broken love?

The only saving grace of this was that the office had actually been closed due to the aircon being busted. Of course you had to have left your bloody laptop charger and had to have chosen to go get it when there was a terrorist attack, of course. Not much for it but to start crawling in what you were sure was the direction of the door to the stairwell.

It was a struggle, you were pretty sure in the initial blast your whole left side had been thoroughly fucked up so you had to pull yourself along on your right side, but you made it to the stairwell.

You took a breather and leaned heavily against the wall, trying to steel yourself for continuing on down the stairs. Wait, there were people coming up the way. That was very much the wrong way to be going.

One of them bit out a curse and leaned over you. All you could think about in your state was how kind his eyes looked.

"Wasn't told there was anyone else left in the building Captain" one of the men said to the one leaning over you.

"You broken love?"

Oh. Oh.

"I'd probably be ok calling you Captain in bed."

The other men were howling with laughter, but you were mostly out of it now with pain and the rush of endorphins that came from those words on your collarbone finally settling fully into your skin.

"We can discuss that later sweetheart, let's get you out of here."

Flower Shop Owner Bakery Owner x Tattoo Artist Club Owner AU

You could not put into words how much you despised the club next door. Your little bakery used to be your safe haven, somewhere peaceful and quiet in the wee hours of the morning when you were already awake and kneading away at the dough that would become the loafs out when you opened. Your shift pattern made it difficult to hold down relationships, but you wouldn't trade it for the world.

And then everything had changed because some idiot had opened a club next door and suddenly the wee hours of the morning were not peaceful and quiet. No, they were loud and irritating, the hollering of the drunk, disorderly and frankly horny club goers filling the space. You were pretty sure the place must have been some sort of freaky kink club with how people behaved.

At least by the time you had been working for a few hours it would quiet down, the place closing up and everyone off to continue the party elsewhere. God you hoped whoever owned the place would get hit by a bus.

This morning had been trying to say the least. There was some sort of event at the club so it had been louder than usual and you had already been irritated and flustered because you had woken up late and were behind. And then when it was wonderful and quiet and you had two hours until opening you had been in such a state of anger that you had went and burnt a batch of the morning rolls.

You were sat hyperventilating and angrily ignoring the tears rolling down your cheeks when the door creaked open. Of course you had forgotten to lock it today of all days. Of fucking course.

"Sorry for barging in, I was on my way home and I heard you… well…" the man gestured.

Great, he had no doubt heard you yelling and then crying about it. He didn't seem drunk, just looked tired. How was he still so put together and handsome after whatever event had been on?

"I'm actually the owner of the place next door, kept meaning to pop in and say hi. Kyle Garrick, you can call me Gaz" he said with a smile that could melt bloody granite.

"I despise you Kyle Garrick."

"I can work with that."

For a club owner he made a half decent helper, rolling up his sleeves and getting to work, following all of your instructions to make sure that you had everything ready for opening. If he noticed the way your eyes lingered on his forearms, he had the sense not to mention it.

Western AU

"Fucking hell, you could have warned me!" you yelled at Sheriff Mactavish from your spot crouched behind the bar of the saloon.

"Aww and ruin all the fun! Not on yer life bonnie!" he laughed back, stuffing a cloth into one of the bottles before lighting it and tossing it across the bar.

The noise was deafening.

When Mactavish had given you a job, you had honestly fallen a little in love on the spot. Most places did not take you seriously on account of your gender, so having him ask you to prove you could shoot like he would any man who wanted to work with him made you loyal as hell to him.

You knew he had a nemesis that he was sort of obsessed with, he talked about the outlaw all the time. They called him the Ghost. Given that he talked about him all the time, he seemed to have somehow forgotten to mention that the fucker was huge, wore a bright red skull mask and judging by the last 5 minutes of this fight wanted to fuck your Sheriff as much if not more than he wanted to kill him.

"Trying to set me on fire eh Johnny? You're about 4 years too late!"

Oh and he was English. There was also that. His accent caused the same pleasant tingle down your spine as your Sheriff's had always done.

"Och you the sweetest things, seems almost a shame I need tae take you in!"

You looked at the Sheriff in disbelief, choking out a laugh when he just grinned and winked at you instead of looking the least bit embarrassed.

"Maybe I'll let you this time if I get to talk to the little lady you're running with now. What's your name darlin'?"

You were a woman of the law, it was your job to take outlaws like this down. It would be wildly unprofessional and immoral to even dignify this criminal with a response.

"Maybe if you learn to shoot straight I'll consider telling you handsome!"

Mafia AU

"You have no idea why you're here, do you love?"

I mean you were fairly certain that why you were her didn't really matter so much as the fact that a man in a skull mask had you tied to a chair in a hotel room like it was just a normal activity for a Tuesday night. You were terrified, sitting here in your little summer dress and knowing that you had already cried off all of your mascara. You probably looked dreadful.

"No, please I think you have the wrong person" you replied, hiccupping half way through.

He had spent the last hour since you had come to just circling you and glaring. After the first 40 minutes you had stopped crying.

"Why were you at the casino tonight?" he asked, voice gruff and uncaring.

"I was returning a phone. I work at a café and it had been left there so I picked up when it rang and the man on the other end said to drop it off there. I swear that's the only reason I was there."

He came closer and you thought your heart might beat out of your chest. God you were going to die here, you were going to die because you had been an idiot and decided that it would be better for a random person for you to return their phone than to take it to the police.

"What's your name?"

When you told him he pulled a phone from one of the pockets on his vest and started looking something up. It was quiet for a few minutes but for his tapping and your shuddering breaths and sniffles. When he put the phone away his demeanour changed.

He sighed deeply and pulled off his mask to reveal a handsome scarred face and blonde hair messed up from being under fabric. His eyes were striking against the black of the paint there.

It was comforting in a way when he went to a knee before you on the chair, making himself smaller than you.

"What a mess. You're involved now love, but I can keep you safe. You need to do exactly what I say when I say it and you'll make it out of this alive, yeah?"

It was only once you nodded that he untied you, gently rubbing at your wrists to soothe them. You'd come to learn that this terrifying man was gentle in many ways and somewhere down the line when you were laid in bed falling asleep to the calming rhythm of his heartbeat beneath you, you'd realise that you loved him for it.

Very obsessed with this kill circle thing they have going here.

[wwrenwrites]

Big Brother

** Eating Wingstop **

3-year-old Damian: I want more ranch.

Jason: Say please

3-year-old Damian: No

Jason: Then no ranch

3-year-old Damian: Celery and carrots need ranch

Jason: Rabbits don’t use ranch

Tim: Rabbits don’t eat Wingstop

Dick: KNOCK IT OFF

[batbusiness-schooldropout]

You know those fics where Tim goes "by the powers vested in me by spite and child neglect Jason WILL rejoin this family"

Robin! Tim: HARLEY!!! I need your help with something and you can't tell anyone!

Harley: OMG is it finally happening!? Are you finally going dark!? Let me get my camera! Mommy's so proud of you Sweetie!

Tim: Stop calling yourself Mommy, it's weird. And no, I'm not going dark! I need you to help me help someone else

Harley: A little disappointing but sure. Whacha need Jellybean?

Tim: How do I convince a vigilante-turned-dead guy-turned alive-turned crime lord to reconcile with his dad? Who is also a vigilante.

Harley: This is about that Red Helmet guy and Batsy isn't it?

Tim: Possibly

Harley: Just so we're clear, you shouldn't follow any of my advice under normal circumstances

Tim: Already don't

Harley: Ok so first of all you gotta emotionally manipulate them. Hit them below their feelings belt. Then you gotta orchestrate some situation where they both have to work towards a common goal. Like the safety of a child. Don't forget to make sure Batsy takes his emotional fiber so doesn't get all stopped up. And then-

Tim: Hold up! I need a moment to process "emotional fiber"

[bruciemilf]

There's something deeply touching about Jason knowing he'll never be the kid Bruce saved again, but still maintaining some quirks, mannerisms, habits, pieces of young Jason Todd. They're small but cut deep.

Jason, when he allows himself to stay at the manor as a tiny indulgence, still acts like there's a barrier of lasers protecting Alfred's cookie jar, just so he and Dick would have an excuse to compare leaps.

He's still waiting for the lights to fall asleep so he could visit the library and get angry at Tim, or Bruce, or both, twins in audacity, for dig earing the pages they knew he'd read.

Of course Bruce finds him because he always looks for him, ridiculously fluffy pink robe that Selina bought him sagging on him.

He ignores the ball of sadness exploding in his stomach as he realizes Bruce is the one looking up at him now. It feels like a robbery, premeditated and calculated, " Jaylad, you have to nap."

" Bruce, I am a grown ass man, you cannot fucking tell me to NAP--"

There's an unspoken type of authority that surrounds gentle parents. Is Bruce a gentle parent? Well. He doesn’t need to hit Jason to get what he wants, that's for sure, " Excuse me?"

"...Just one more page?"

Bruce is also very weak for them, thought. "..Fine. don't tell Alfred."

When Dick proudly shows off his patrol record for the week, all preppy and shiny besides Bruce at the kitchen table, Jason hears it all the way from the couch.

Damian is a very sore loser when it comes to Mario Kart, he learned, " Todd! TODD! Come back here and taste DEFEAT! FIGHT ME LIKE A WOMAN, COWARD!"

" So yeah, 40 arrests are pretty good, I'd say,--"

" 40? That's adorable, I got 70. On a broken leg."

Bruce, suddenly spooked, turns to him, " You had your leg broken on patrol?!"

" A broken leg? Awwww. Killer Crock almost bit my face off, but hey. Nice of you to try."

"Waylon bit you?!"

" At least I'm not a COP!"

" YOU'RE STILL A COP?!"

" I'm working on it, okay?!"

But the biggest thing? Jason's so unflinchingly clingy on Bruce; When they first meet this 'Justice League' Batman joined, Jason requested to be there. A robin caricature, but he doesn't trust any of them.

Aside from Diana. Diana's always the exceptions.

" This is Superman, " Bruce may think that little blush goes unnoticed, but it certainly doesn't. " And this is my ba-- This is Red Hood. I trust him with my life."

Don't cry don't cry don't cry Jason chants in his head.

Superman extends his hand and a honey sunshine smile, " Red Hood?! Oh, I've heard so much about you. We have to work together sometime. Share stories about this one here."

He heard about the guy's X Ray vision. He hopes that if he does take a peek, he sees the sinister pull of grin on his lips, all teeth and no niceness, " I'm more of a hugger."

" Oh. Uh... Sure. I love hugs."

Jason makes sure to whisper, " He doesn't kill but I do," before pulling away. Then he turns to Bruce, going from standing at his full height to relaxing a little bit,

" I want bat burgers on the way."

Bruce hums and signals for him to lean down to get his head petted. Jason does. Even if he's embarassed.

[t2316m]

Jason uses sour candy to help get himself out of panic attacks and to ground his emotions. It just helps pull himself back into reality and focus on the task at hand, especially when patrol gets rough. Which is why he always carries around a shit ton of sour candy at all times. He also offers it to the other bats when he thinks they could use it. This earns him the nickname of ‘the candy man’.

Jason doesn’t make the connection and thinks it comes from the horror movie, and how his “good” fashion taste and his post-Lazurus stunt of stalking Bruce was kinda reminiscent of the Candyman. Until one day he learns it’s ’the candy man’ like Willy Wonka and the song in the movie not ‘candyman’ like the urban legend.

You can probably guess the reaction to this realization, anyways the situations that earned Red Hood ‘The Candy Man’ nickname

—-

Tim: *dizzy during patrol* Hood, Hey, Can we stop? I- I need to sit for a second.

Jason:*immediately noticing the hyperventilating and intense trembling* Oh yea you’re good, we can stop, here want a toxic waste?

Tim: How’d you know my blood sugar was low?

Jason: *who had thought he had totally nailed the empathetic older brother thing helping Tim through a panic attack and was seconds away from initiating a breathing exercising*...Just a hunch?

—-

Jason: *on patrol with Damian noticing he’s really distracted and unsteady, stopping to hand him some candy* Here, this’ll help

Damian: Todd, I am suffering blood loss from a reopened wound, why would you hand me a warhead!?

Jason: It..It’ll prevent shock, just eat it. I’ll call backup.

—-

Dick: *Goes MIA during patrol to hide in a secluded spot of an abandoned building cause he’s having a panic attack*

Jason: *finds him and contemplates just leaving but instead walks over to him and doesn’t say anything as he takes Dick’s hand and dumps a handful of semi-melted smog balls into it before attempting to walk away with a smug look on his face*

Dick: *Grimacing as he pops one in his mouth.* Ya know Hood, I really fucking hate sour stuff

*There’s an moment of silence before Dick’s face softens*

C’mon Jay let’s go home

what drives out the darkness? Batman/Superman: World's Finest #32 by Mark Waid and Adrián Gutiérrez

[haveihitanerve]

The robins are always calm, cool, collected. This goes for all the Batkids, no matter what stage they are (robin, pre robin, post robin, alive from being dead robin) so imagine the utter fear, the horror every single member of the Justice League feels, literal gods and metas, when one of their composures snaps. Why? Because the Batman has gone missing.

Some of my favorite pages and panels from Nightwing Annual 2021

[yjcorefourenjoyer]

not sure if it was you but you have an au that’s called somethin like Robin snaps and if so what was it about?

i do have an au called that!

That Au was made in this post which I later named “Just snap Robin” in this post.

it’s an au about how Robin(Tim) is seen as a guy who is calm and isn’t quickly to anger, emotionless so to speak. He just doesn’t react. no matter what people say about him, even to his face.

Cuz of that people started to walk all over him, not listening to what he says, insulting his skills- that sort of thing.

But there are people who have made him mad enough or sad enough to see his emotions, to see his anger, to see him yell….

And let’s just say that those people do NOT do anything on the prior list for fear of their lives out of respect for Tim :D. (both)

anyways- in that group of people who respect Tim their are some *cough cough* impulse *cough cough* who don’t like the way people are treating him and they feel like if he snapped, and showed his true self people would respect him more.

he hasn’t snapped yet but he’s gotten close. Annnd that’s the au so far!

[daydreamerwonderkid]

Here. Have a dumb convo I wrote for a oneshot that will never see the light of day.

Bruce: I know having siblings can be difficult. But I still think-

Tim: Oh my fucking GOD!!! You were an only child, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!

Bruce: ...

Dick: ...

Cassandra: ...

Jason: ...

Duke: ...

Stephanie: ...

Damian: ...

Alfred: As astute an observation as that may be, Master Timothy, I must request you refrain from uttering anymore profanity while dinner is still underway.

Hey who wants a small WIP for my cryptid batfam story

🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇🦜🌃🦇

   Bruce nodded, giving them a small smile. “Good job,” he encouraged, as the many, many parenting books had said to do. Repeatedly. “And what do you think we should do?” 

   Barbara- sorry, Batgirl- was the first to pipe up, though both practically vibrated in glee, their little wings flapping as they moved. “Take them out from above! Not let them sound the alarm, and, and, um…” 

   “I hit them from behind and Batgirl can hit them from the front! And we won’t break a lung this time!” Dick chirped, bouncing slightly. Ah. Yeah, the first few times they had gone after the same person they’d managed to do more than crack a few of the person’s ribs, which, yeah. Not a good thing. 

   Not to mention the fact that one of the first lessons he had to teach them was how to properly hide a body, or at least hide how you might be the reason behind the death. Because small children diving at someone at thirty-to-eighty miles per hour (forty-eight to one-hundred and twenty-nine kilometers per hour, he mentally translated from habit) had a habit of collapsing a lung, crushing a liver, or just snapping a neck depending on where they hit. 

   Ugh, there were no parenting books to help with things like that. 

   “Anything else?” he hummed, keeping an eye down at the gang bustling around, a few guns waving around as they turned a few flashlights towards any shadow. Not complete idiots then, but still forgetting to so much as look up. Amateurs. 

   “Let one escape so they can lead us to where they’re storing stuff if it’s not in this warehouse?” 

   “Make sure not to give one a heart attack?” 

   “Oh! Oh! Make sure not to give you a heart attack!”
