Steph and Charlotte bonding over their boyfriends being silly dorks.
Like one day both bros bring home their girlfriend, and it stems into the girls bonding with each other instead of hanging out with their respective spankoffski.
OOH AND-
the two are fighting over which of their boyfriends is cuter. All four are sitting together and the ladies keep throwing out cute things about their boyfriends, like:
"Pete writes me really sappy poetry"
"My Teddy makes me coffee every morning"
"My boyfriend is scared of spiders so he asks me to get rid of 'em if he sees one"
"Mine blushes whenever we snuggle, which is practically all the time now."
"Well mine snorts if you tickle him behind his knees~"
"Hehehehe, mine does that too-"
And the boys are just like "both of you need to stOP-"
KSVWNWVDK OMG YEEEEES! Peter wants to do a cute lil double date but Ted’s like “ok but only at home. I don’t wanna be seen on a double date with fuckin’ high schoolers like some loser.” So they both check with their girls to see if they’re down & both Char & Steph are excited to meet the other! & at first it’s going well but they’re slowly ignoring Pete & Ted more & more until it’s a conversation just for the girlies ✨
But the camaraderie ends when Steph mentions how she “got the cuter Spankoffski” & Charlotte’s like BITCH WHAT YOU SAY but of course she’d never say that, especially to such a nice young lady but she snidely corrects her that she’s dating the cuter brother. & Peter & Ted just give each other the side eye because they both know that this can’t end well. Peter was gonna interject but Ted stops him because he wants to see where this goes. & he thinks Charlotte is hot when she gets worked up
But uh oh they waited too long to step in & now they can’t get a word in edgewise because Steph & Charlotte are going back & forth too fast for them to cut them off & everything they say just leaves them flustered & speechless. & they do protest but it’s just incoherent noises & indignant choking
But then they bring up how ticklish their boyfriends are & both Ted & Peter are like “oKAY THAT’S ENOUGH!” & they have the same blush & everything nxbsmsb
& then Charlotte & Steph mention how they’re blushing the same shade of pink & they both curl in on themselves & hide their faces & it’s so fucking cute & funny because they’re so in sync! & then because they’re both flustered & huffy they decide that they need to test just how similar the brothers really are 😏
Ted & Peter agree that they should never have a double date again meanwhile Steph & Char are like “OMG this was so fun we HAVE to do this again!” “Same time next week?”
The Spankoffski bros never know peace again, but tbh they wouldn’t have it any other way

Day Twenty-Eight: Spooked
Summary:
Peter is determined to finally spook the unspookable Stephanie Lauter. It doesn't go quite as well as he hoped.
Hey folks!! I'm actually in love with this fic they're all so fucking CUTE! Need me a friend group like this immediately. Just alksdjajsljkdajksk THEM <33 Anyways hope that y'all enjoy!!
“Boo!”
Steph glanced over her shoulder at Peter, eyebrow raised in amusement at his disappointment when she didn’t so much as blink.
“Hey Pete. What’s up?”
A smirk was playing across her lips as he slumped down next to her with an exaggerated sigh. Still, he leaned forward a bit when she went to wrap an arm around his shoulders and leaned into her in their little booth at Beanie’s with a smile.
“Do you just have no fear?” Peter asked, “Is that what it is? Because I have it on good authority that I am very sneaky based on how Ruth and Richie both scream every time I ‘appear’ beside them.”
“Guess I’m just too tough. Sorry, babe.”
Steph couldn’t help but laugh at Peter’s groan, something that did not distract from the faint blush creeping up his face. Honestly, sometimes Steph thought that her boyfriend was too cute and she’d explode with the strain of not squeezing him until he popped.
Mercifully, she refrained from doing so, settling for tweaking his ribs and melting a bit at the giggly little shriek he let out.
Too fucking cute.
“It’s my new mission,” Peter said, cautiously uncurling from around Steph’s hand after she reassured him that she was done, “In the spirit of Halloween, I will spook Stephanie Lauter if it’s the last thing I ever do!”
The last part was proclaimed with a grave determination that had Steph laughing.
“Yeah, alright Squeak-offski,” She fluttered her fingers against his neck and, yep, there it was, “Whatever you say. But, every time you try and fail, I get to tickle you. Sound fair?”
Peter’s jaw dropped as he started stuttering, “I, uh—”
Steph cut him off gleefully, “Great! I look forward to your next attempt.”
Before Peter could protest, the bell jangled and Richie and Ruth walked in, bickering as usual, and slid in next to them. Peter was soon roped into the argument and the previous conversation was dropped.
But it wasn’t forgotten.
Peter was determined to see his mission through, even with Steph’s threat looming over him should he not succeed. What it really meant was that he just had to make every attempt count to minimize damage.
It didn’t exactly go to plan.
His first attempt, he’d waited two days after their declaration of battle so that Steph would have let her guard down. They were all supposed to get together for a horror marathon at Peter’s place, so he’d asked Ted to let her in and send her to the basement.
Everything had been running smoothly, he’d stayed quiet, the lights had been off, and there had even been some eerie music playing in the background for dramatic effect.
Except, when he’d jumped out at her from behind some streamers, Steph hadn’t even flinched and Peter was cackling under her hands within seconds.
And then Ruth and Richie had decided to show up, and it had all gone downhill for Pete from there.
Since then, he’d made his plans less elaborate, hoping to be lucky enough to just catch her off guard for a seconds, but it had never happened.
Peter’s days had been filled with a lot more laughter lately, and that’s how he got his idea.
Well, it was that and watching Ruth tickle Steph nearly to tears to get her to admit that headgear was the hottest new accessory, but that’s beside the point.
He waited until one day after school when Steph was distracted by Ruth and Richie who had, once again, dragged some innocent bystander into one of their arguments. Then, he started silently creeping up behind her, catching his friends’ eyes and holding a finger up to his lips.
Their eyes darted back to Steph and they kept talking like nothing had happened, and that’s why Ruth and Richie are his best friends.
And three… Two…
“BOO!”
Peter dug his fingers into her sides, revelling in the shriek of surprise before Steph started laughing and tugging frantically at his hands.
As her knees buckled and he lowered her gently down, wriggling his fingers all the while, he proclaimed his victory, “Aha! I have felled the fearless! My reign shall be long and prosperous!”
Peter took a step back, grinning at the sight of Steph giggling up at him.
“Yohou are a fucking cheater Spankoffski!” Then she turned her accusing finger on Ruth and Richie who had been thoroughly enjoying the show up until this point, “And you two knew what was happening and you betrayed me!”
It was silly and everyone was feeling ridiculous, so maybe that’s why Richie said, “Yeah, well, we had to help Sir Peter slay Steph the Fearless! It’s our sworn duty!”
At that, something in Steph’s expression changed and she slowly rose to her feet and faced them.
“Well, maybe you should’ve checked if I was really dead, because now Steph the Fearless is going to get your asses! Starting with you!”
And she launched herself at Peter, clawing at his ribs as he toppled over with a shriek.
“Wahahahait! Steph nononono!” His gaze shifted up to his friends, “Ruth! Richie! Hehehehelp!”
They exchanged a nervous look before Ruth straightened her shoulders, “I’ll save you Sir Peter! RAHHHHHH!”
Her battle cry rang as she threw herself into the fray, dragging Richie in with her as a human meat shield.
Man, Peter thought, tangled up and laughing with the people he cared about the most in the world, my friends are fucking dorks.
And he wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’ve been inspired by @sundewhasaudhd to do a ranking of Joey Richter Hatchetfield characters, except I’m gonna rank them by how homosexual I am for them 🏳️🌈😌
(I’m not gonna include some of the background characters though (sorry Danny from the smoke club))
(also if the character is played by several actors then obviously I’m talking about when he’s played by Joey)
9. Cineplex Teen: Idk he’s just kinda There 🤷
8. Dan Reynolds: I like him, he’s funny, but I’m not gay for him (sorry Dan, much love to him and Donna)
7. Thrash: I could definitely understand people finding him attractive, I love his hair, but he hasn’t got that pizzazz yk (although for some reason I find him more attractive when he appears at the end of his rendition of the NMT2 theme? Dunno why)
[We’ve now got to the point on the list where I’m gay for all of them from here on out, just to different degrees]
6. Steve: …yes. I’m sorry but there’s something about him-
5. Wilbur Cross: I don’t agree with his actions but I still find him attractive, the double denim suits him, I love his growly lines in Made In America (e.g. “-and a gob of fucking lust”), also when he does the thing where he grabs his chest [*see below the cut] OUGH, also we have the same attitudes about society (although I’m not about to make a deal with a LiB)
4. Ezekiel: (I MEAN JOEY AS THE VA AND PUPPETEER, NOT THE LITERAL BIRD) his whole vibe is just 👌, I’m very gay for him (and long hair + high-neck jacket = HOT)
3. Ted: Yeah yeah, the gay guy loves the sleazeball town whore, "wooooow what a surprise!!1!", shut up 😒 /j (seriously though, he is so hot and if I was the Lattay Hottay I would go out with him immediately)
2. Peter: Lmao sorry Ted but I like your brother more than you, Pete’s so sweet but snarky too, also Steph was so real for getting flustered during If I Loved You
1. Ethan: DUH. His hair is soooo nice (not to be a f*g but I am feral for long-hair Joey Richter characters) and he’s alternative and he cares about his gf’s little sister LIKE SHE WAS HIS OWN KID HELLO???? BOYFRIEND MATERIAL 100%
Okay this was my unhinged ranking of Joey characters based off of how much I want to- I mean how gay I am for them :)
[*this is what I was talking about:]
#joey richter#hatchetfield#hatchetverse#starkid#oh god here come the tags#cineplex teen#dan reynolds#thrash nmt#workin boys#wilbur cross#uncle wiley#ezekiel perky's buds#ted spankoffski#theodore spankoffski#pete spankoffski#peter spankoffski#ethan green#the guy who didn't like musicals#tgwdlm#black friday starkid#nmt#nmt2#nightmare time#nightmare time 2#perkys buds#yellow jacket#nerdy prudes must die#npmd#killer track#gay

AHHH THE LORDS IN BLACK
I am a bit sad you can't see all the dance moves at the same time and you so you can't really see them changing dances with each other but also the close ups are so cool and very fitting for the scene!
Jon putting his fingers together so it's reminiscent of the doll only having three is such a cool choice

PROPAGANDA
KAMALA KHAN (MARVEL COMICS) (CW: Racism)
1.) One of the most prominent brown women in all of comics, beloved by the fan base. Recently killed in a PETER PARKER SPIDERMAN COMIC (despite being much closer with Miles Morales and having basically no relationship with Peter) in what’s probably the name of MCU synergy, which nobody wanted (she’ll probably be resurrected as a mutant, erasing her unique and interesting history as an Inhuman). She was using her shapeshifting powers again despite having stopped in her solo as she got more confident in her own skin and identity as a Pakistani American girl, died disguised as the very white Mary Jane as a fake out/last minute replacement for killing off MJ. I fucking hate it here. A cheap trick to drive sales. L + Misogyny + racism + are you fucking kidding me
STEPHANIE (EVERYMANHYBRID)
1.) Aw jeez. Starts out as a really interesting peripheral character with a lot of knowledge the main (male) characters don’t have and a unique voice and perspective, but almost as soon as she meets the main guys her role is reduced to Girlfriend, she gets vanishingly little screen time, and almost no attention is paid to her role in the larger plot. The story instead favors the male characters and their relationships. This is despite the fact that she’s metaphysically tied to the guys in the same way they are to each other (past life multiple reincarnations deal) - much attention is paid to the fact that the dude characters have this relationship to each other but this gets almost completely ignored for Steph! And then her boyfriend gets her pregnant (we hear nothing about it or her feelings on the situation until after her death) and THEN her boyfriend gets possessed by an evil murder entity who kills her. Also cannibalizes her infant daughter (yeah, for a misogyny bonus round, we know that the dead baby is a girl). After this, Steph disappears from the story completely - the next time she gets mentioned again is her boyfriend monologuing about how bad he feels about getting possessed and killing her. It’s a horror story, and during that point in the plot a lot of characters get killed off in grotesque and cruel ways - but it’s especially bad to the point of misogyny for Steph because 1. she’s the only woman at that point, every other female character has also been killed and 2. she gets so little focus and is not mentioned after her death except in the context of her boyfriend’s manpain. The other major character that gets murdered concurrent with this gets an eight minute video all to himself - Steph’s last appearance before she’s confirmed dead is less than a minute long and she shares the video with the death of a much more minor male character. It fucking sucks man. And we do know that her actress wanted to leave the project and had to be written out, but doing it in such a shitty, perfunctory way, having it be at the hands of her boyfriend, focusing on her baby and her boyfriend’s pain as if all that matters about women is their reproductive capacity and the fact that men have feelings about them sometimes - it’s bad! They put her in the fucking fridge dude!!! As an addendum - this one can’t be entirely blamed on the series itself because the fans came up with the nickname and the character approved it in the fiction, but still - before we knew her actual name, Steph was known as DAMSEL. christ alive.
2.) Completely Fridged. she was a promising standalone character and then the actress left the project and she went from Cool Artist with A Bone-Deep Lifelong Struggle with the paranormal to She Gave Birth And Then Died ¯(ツ)/¯ free my girl she should’ve done so much more shit
3.) She was killed by a demon possessing her boyfriend right after having their child and then both she and the child were literally never mentioned again except to underscore the boyfriend’s pain

Stephen's dislocated shoulder - part 2
brainstormings with @dumb-bitch-starker 💗💗
part 1 - part 3
Neurosurgeon Stephen, Peter, dislocated shoulder, hospital, surgery, whump, fluff
Finally, the surgery day arrives and Peter takes his sulky boyfriend to the hospital. It is the same one Stephen works at, and he keeps his head low at all times. Luckily, getting checked into ortho goes smoothly and soon Stephen is waiting for his turn.
But, turns out the ORs are a bit backed up, so the nurses are told to do as much pre OP care as possible to keep their schedule. This means putting a catheter in Stephen while he is still awake. And, even worse, the nurses have a medical student with them too.
“Absolutely not. That overly excited student of yours has slept three hours last night. Max! He’s not touching me.”
“Stephen… it’s just a catheter…” Peter says.
“Have you had one before? Do you know how it feels?”
Stephen’s ortho surgeon overhears the commotion and he quietly tells the nurses to give Stephen more sedatives because he is obviously upset and admitting it will make him even more upset. Peter sees the nurse approaching with a syringe to inject into Stephen’s IV. The younger man knows what is going on, so he distracts his overreacting boyfriend with a deep kiss. Stephen does not even notice the nurse injecting him. Peter keeps stroking Stephen’s hair and kisses his hand while Stephen gets more sleepy and calm.
“You’re being a big baby, Steph. A big baby… My big baby though.”
“Am not…” Stephen blinks slowly. His eyelids look heavy. “W’at… You shiit…”
Peter chuckles lightly. Stephen must have realised he was tricked, but there is no fighting the drugs. The ortho surgeon comes over, saying the OR is now ready. He is also a friend of Stephen’s, or at least a coworker.
“Is he this bitchy at home?” The surgeon asks.
“No, well, not usually.” Peter sighs.
The sedatives work really well, so Stephen is almost asleep when the nurses tell them to say goodbye for now. And Peter kisses his boyfriend so passionately and Stephen kisses back as much as he can.
“I’ll see you soon.” Peter says, letting go of Stephen’s hand.
Two nurses in caps and gowns bring Stephen to the OR.
“We’ll take good care of your dad.” One of the nurses says to Peter. The younger man considers correcting the nurse, but he doesn’t bother. He shakes his head fondly and goes to the waiting room.
Almost three hours later, the ortho surgeon comes to the waiting room to update Peter. The surgery went perfect and with some physical therapy, Stephen will be back to work in a few weeks time. Peter is very relieved and very eager to see his boyfriend.
Stephen has been brought out of recovery, since he came out of the anesthesia fairly quickly. He is now back in his own room where he will stay overnight. Everything has calmed down finally, and Peter sits by Stephen’s bedside. The doctor’s arm is in a sling and there are a few bandages from where the ortho surgeon fixed his shoulder laparoscopically.
Stephen extends his good hand to Peter with his eyes closed.
“It hurts…”
“I know, just try to sleep.”
“I’m so tired I can’t sleep…”
“Shh, it’s okay. Just feel my hand.”
And so Peter starts kissing and rubbing at Stephen’s hand, all the while being mindful of the IV. Soon enough, Stephen falls asleep again.

Veth’s Steph and Pete Headcanons
CW:This Follows The canon of NPMD the best I can so mention of funeral’s and death and the like so be warned if I forget any warns tell me and I’ll add them
and if I spelt or got any lore wrong lmk nicely thank you
Master List
A/n: I’m totally “normal” about these two I wrote these at 1 - 2 am and b4 that I tagged all of these at 1am hope these makes since I’m on new meds and they made me kinda tried and my eyes hurt so bad anyhow my requests are open check my master list it’s pinned on my profile anyway enjoy these headcanons I’m also going through and editing all this at 2:58 am so technically I’ve been working on this from 1 am to 2 am to 3 am I hope you like this
Stephanie Lauter and Peter Spankoffski headcanons
After all that happened in NPMD ie Steph losing her dad and Pete losing Richie and Ruth and Steph having to shoot him and Max stopping the bullet and doing the whole “I’m the only one who can kill you nerdy prudes” and Grace taking one for the the team by giving up what she cherished most 
Pete and Steph didn’t want to be far from each other and ending up holding each other for a while so that led to them having sleepovers at the others home Steph hated being all alone in that big house so she was glad to have Pete being there with her.
They both try to comfort the other when they start to breakdown after all that has happened Steph seems like the type who doesn’t know how to comfort someone same with Pete but they both try and they love the other for that
Steph and Pete didn’t label their relationship right away because they weren’t sure what would happen after all that went down but they knew for a fact they loved the other after a LONG and I mean a Long time of denying the fact they were in love each other like they canonically had a song about it too but after a bit calls each other their partner or girlfriend/ boyfriend thing
These two in my mind both have They in their pronouns and or possibly t4t because they aren’t totally straight in my mind Pete to me seems unlabeled but Steph is either Pansexual or Bisexual and could be gender-fluid and or She/they but either Gender fluid or Demi girl she has She/They pronouns
Pete without a doubt is trans FTM and uses He/Him and possibly on occasion uses They and or them and I could possibly see him as Asexual but I’m not for sure on that one just yet
Pete definitely drives home the fact that Steph is smart and that he’s proud of her and whatever else Solomon told her is bull shit and he loves her no matter what and that he will be their for her no matter what
Steph does the same type of thing for Pete that he is in fact cool to her and not a loser and comforts him fully and says that he’s a handsome always especially when gender dysphoria kicks his ass and will be their for him through it all
This could be me projecting but these two would probably give a little smooch on the other’s forearm and tell the other they love them
I feel like Steph would do Pete’s hair into different hairstyles, Steph definitely teases him lovingly about the bow ties still
Steph at some point mentioned thinking about doing a wolf cut or short hair and Pete supported her no matter what Steph did the same with his hair if he wanted to cut it or let it grow more either way she could still run her hands through his hair
And as Steph does in canon affectionately calls Pete a Nerd and him possibility calling her Mean Girl or probably something else it’s 3:11 am rn and I’m proof reading this when I could be sleeping to creativity is low lmfao
Homecoming was fun for both of them and as it should be I think they have photos of it both digital and Polaroid and for the Polaroids, they have the pictures hanging up on an aesthetic string and clips thing
Content warring here’s the mention of Funerals and death(ig I don’t think I say it at all but still be aware)
Now when it came to the funeral’s of Richie,Ruth it was a ruff time for both of them and seeing as they all were friends it was one of the Moments Steph comforts Pete even if it wasn’t something she was good at still
and after words they visit Ruth and Richie’s graves and leaves flowers and possibly Anime themed stuff for Richies grave and no matter what both Ruth and Richie gets flowers on their respective graves 
When Solomon’s funeral came around I think Stephanie kinda shut down having to be around her fathers colleagues friends and connecting and was going into auto pilot going through the motions of everything that she knew how to act as to make sure Solomon’s image looked good
Pete was their with her and after a while pulled her away from the people so he could make sure she was okay as she could be for what was happening and she just broke down and they decided to leave after funeral things happened
I feel like after wards of both funerals just like after NPMD but before homecoming’s they just held each other to comfort one another and saying sweet things to each other because they love each other

@sleazeballtm liked for a starter
She was looking for Peter, she should’ve remembered that he, Richie and Ruth would’ve been at the library at this time. Count this as a HUGE L. So yeah her shoulder’s shrugged and her demeanor changed when she saw not her boyfriend at the apartment door, but his older brother.
It’s not that she didn’t like Ted. She just didn’t know him. She did not spend much time with the older Spankoffski. She doesn’t really remember saying too many words to him. As much as Pete adored his older brother, when Steph hung out with him, there hadn’t been too much Ted involvement.
“ I forgot Pete wouldn’t be home yet. Would it be okay if I hang around until he gets back ? My dad took my phone again and I have something I needed to show him. ”
This wasn’t awkward at all. She’d head to the library now, but based on what time it is, Peter would already be on his way home by the time she got to there.

silly hc
Whenever Richie is a little shit, Pete will do that thing where he’ll count Richie’s ribs and suddenly completely on purpose lose count! Steph just watches from the other side of the room like “my boyfriend is such a dork <3”
OMG YEEES THAT’S SO CUTE! Pete has learned the most bastard tickle techniques from Ted so he is, by extension, a bastard ler just like his big bro! He absolutely loses count on purpose & starts over just to hear Richie scream & cuss him out because he knows what he’s doing! & he calls him out on it, but that just makes Peter start over yet again!
Steph thinks it’s adorable how Peter will just attack his friends out of the blue (it’s justified most of the time) She really is his #1 cheerleader & he gets a lil mean with it to impress her. Just ask Richie & Ruth, he’s so much worse if Steph’s there

no scratch my battle of the bands au lemonade mouth nerdy prudes au!!!!!!!!!!!!!
steph is charlie, our drummer. she’s under a lot of pressure from her dad to do the right thing, be the right person. he’s had her on the soccer team her whole life, even though she fucking hates it. she’s played drums since she was a kid, when a music teacher caught her adhd ten miles away and suggested using the sticks to stim. it’s her passion, but her dad doesn’t give a shit.
ruth is stella, lead guitar. her family just moved for her dad’s job, and her mom is pressuring her to be more behaved at a new school. she’s never fit in with her family’s traditional values, the young housewife, concerningly older husband, five kids, stay at home mom, purity, misogynistic shit. her parents refused to buy her a guitar so she slowly stole from her brothers allowance for years until she had enough to buy her own.
richie is wen, keyboardist. he learned to play classical piano as a kid with his mom, but he hasn’t played ever since his dad died a few years ago. he’s still dealing with his grief but his mother as figured out how to manage hers and found a new boyfriend, and he’s not dealing with it well.
grace is mo, the bassist. she comes from a very strict christian family, who would never let her play music like that. she plays the chello in the school orchestra, aces all her classes, everything. she’s scared to deviate from her family’s plan for her. not because she doesn’t believe in god, but because she wants to be a regular american teenager.
which leaves peter as olivia, our lead singer. he was in dance classes a kid and had an absolute breakdown freak out of stage at a school dance recital, which left him relentlessly bullied his whole life. he writes music as an escape but would never consider singing for anyone else. he’s got severe performance anxiety. he lives with his older brother, and has since he transitioned at 11 and his parents threw him out. recently, his mom has been trying to get back in touch with him.
the rival band of mudslide crush becomes jäeger and the man, with max in the lead. kyle and jason are back up, and the three are all also football stars, making for rulers of the school. jason has been flirting with grace semi-innocently (for the standards of anyone but her) for a little while, and she’s going along with it bc she’s having a crisis of self.
on ruth’s first day, she gets in trouble for calling the principal a sexist motherfucker. the same day, steph loses her cool and chucks a soccer ball at the head of a girl who was bullying hannah foster, the only freshman who made it on the varsity team. jason keeps grace in the hallway after the bell rings to try and ask her out, but she freaks out and gets caught in the hall running away from him. richie called a teacher stupid. peter gets caught having lunch in a custodial closet.
which leads all of them to detention. the music room they are sentences to has an ancient rickety lemonade machine just outside. a can for a quarter: ziggy’s lemonade.
the music teacher, miss holiday, is running their detention and leaves them with cleaning suppies and a room full of instruments. steph starts drumming on the desk, and richie tosses around some keys he’s putting away. ruth recognizes a rhythm between the two, domino effect, and they start playing some of the instruments. steph sits at the drums, and ruth picks up a guitar. richie and grace are both hesitant, richie for having not played in a while and grace for not wanting to get in any more trouble than she needs to, but they both join. they make a nice beat and peter finds himself singing in front of someone other than ted since he was a kid.
miss holiday returns and tells them they are a fantastic band, which leads them to all scatter and i is it they aren’t even really musicians. she pushes them to consider trying out for the rising star competition at the honey festival. they all deny, but ruth pushes them to give it a try.
they do so, but it doesn’t work out immediately. it takes them a little time to find their sound, but boy do they find it. ruth signs up to perform at homecoming, splitting the show time of jäeger and the man in half. they’re pissed, and max starts terrorizing them. they all band together to stand up for each other, and steph ends up spitting some of her lemonade at max when he’s attacking pete, and he calls her “lemonade mouth”
not great as far as insults, but band names? it’s one of the best.
they’re scheduled to perform at homecoming, but peter has a panic attack and locks himself in a bathroom stall. they coax him out and they do perform, to so much cheering. they sing a song that peter wrote (determinate) and get halfway through a song with ruth’s lyrics about rebellion and shit when the principal shuts them down.
everyone fucking loved them though. there was a kid who recorded the set and made it into a cd, which sells like crazy. at one point richie peter and ruth are hanging out at peters apartment and hear their song on the radio. they call steph and grace and all get so excited, and then get offered a standing once a week set at pizza pete’s.
everything’s going well, and they even think they might win rising star, when it all falls apart for them separately. richie finds out his mom is engaged and loses his mind, tries to run out of the house, and runs directly into max. he provoked him and comes out with a black eye. steph breaks some of her fingers in a fit of frustration (slammed them in drawers she was slamming on accident). grace gets super sick just before the competitions and ruth is more concerned with the fact that the lemonade machine is being removed than the competition.
pete suggests to steph maybe just giving up, and she gets mad at him for not caring. he says he never even wanted to do this, and when she asks why, he yells at her that’s it’s because he’s been into her for years. he loses his voice in the process and goes home. ruth calls them all to come protest the removal the ziggy’s machine, which gets them all arrested.
steph’s dad is pissed, ted thinks it’s hilarious, richie’s mom and him have a heart to heart about emotions and being a teenager, ruth gets saved when her older brother picks her up instead of her parents. grace is in real trouble, but confronts her parents about how being reckless and having fun with friends doesn’t mean she hates god. she can be a christian and still have a life, and they agree.
the rising star competition is a joke, max’s band kills it, and they can’t even really perform. but they try, and when they fail, hannah foster in the crowd stands up and starts singing determinate. everyone joins her, even doing the dance that they preform with it. they’re a real band, even if they didn’t win rising star.
they keep playing at pizza petes for a while, all the while writing songs. steph and pete get together, and grace realizes she’s aromantic. ruth gets a gf who’s a fan of the band, richie finally gets the courage to ask out long time crush, trevor, who works at the cineplex. richie’s mom marries her boyfriend, where steph finds herself, on total coincidence, sat next to ziggs.
ziggs is the friend of the girlfriend of richie’s uncle, which somehow led to an invite to the wedding. they talk to steph about a lot, including the band. the group talks them into donating a shit ton of money to the school to save the arts department.
while continuing on and preforming, they get found and offered a record deal. they make an album and release it just as they finish high school. it goes absolutely viral. they shoot ip the charts and make so much money. in less than a year of the band being formed, they’re selling a sold out show to madison square garden.
peter writes a letter to his mom explaining how it all happened, and explaining that he appreciates the attempt but has no desire to stay in contact with her. they he goes to msg and performs his music with his people.

Jasonette Crack (feat. Talia al Ghul)
~0.8k, everyone (Talia) is WilDlY OOC, you have been warned. Not beta'd (if anyone wants to beta or even just toss ideas around, let me know!) Please tell me what you think, and I'm open to constructive criticism as well.💜
Marinette groaned into Talia's bed.
Talia merely raised an eyebrow, waiting for the young woman to speak.
"Is something the matter, Marinette?"
Another groan, then Mari raised her head to look at Talia. "I want a boyfriend. Can you find me someone? If *you're* happy with him then he'll be great, and I won't have to worry about my family's disapproval."
Talia couldn't believe this was happening. Marinette was asking her to set her up with her OTP!
"I shall begin the search," she said neutrally.
Jason kicked off his boots and hung his jacket up, then collapsed onto the sofa.
"You need a girlfriend," said Talia from the shadowed chair she was sitting in.
Jason almost screamed. "T, you gave me a heart attack!"
"Be aware of your surroundings," she said unapologetically. "You need a girlfriend," she repeated.
"I have neither the time nor the patience to find someone everyone will like. You find me a girlfriend and I'll be happy."
♡•○•♡
Two weeks later a kidnapped Jason and a kidnapped Marinette were stood in front of Talia, who spoke somewhat quicker than normal. "Marinette Genevieve Dupain-Cheng, do you take this man as your husband?"
"Yes-wait-what-"
Talia ignored her and turned to Jason.
"Jason Peter Todd-Wayne, do you take this woman as your wife?"
"T, what are you-"
"I now pronounce you man and wife!" she said cheerfully.
10 minutes later, once they freed themselves from their ropes, the new couple burst into her room.
"T, what did you do?! I didn't actually mean it!!"
"I just wanted a date! What was that?!" screeched Marinette.
They looked at each other, then back to Talia.
"You're perfect for each other, you know. I've shipped you two for years; this is a blessed day. I can die happy now. I was thrilled when you asked me to find you a partner."
"I didn't mean a husband!" "I didn't mean a wife!"
"You're welcome," she said, calmly sipping her tea. "I saved you the dating-- it's inevitable you get married."
They sputtered at her impeccable logic and left.
"I'm so sorry about Aunt Talia," said Marinette.

[Summary of AYFTBK]
Poll time: Would any of yall be interested in reading a Jaysteph WIP (that I haven't worked on in months but is fully plotted in my brain)?
A bit of summary: Jason meets Steph in Africa on his world tour and they fall in love. [Warning: I have no idea how to write people falling in love] They foster/adopt Damian (bc good mom talia wants Damian safe but Bruce is...y'know...BrUcE). While they're gallivanting about the world they run into Cass and she joins their family too. [Timelines? Canon? Who're they??] Eventually they go back to Gotham and start work as Red Hood and Indigo, Gotham's underworld new bosses, and run into the bats (of course) and antagonize them (of course). Eventually the bats find out the new crime lords are their not-so-dead ex-Robins and chaos ensues, as I like it.
Thoughts??
[Warning #2: I do NOT know how to end stories. They always seem so awkward to me😬 Tips appreciated]

Why I Think Jason Todd Would Be A Good Blue Lantern: headcanons from Ali
"In fearful day, in raging night/ With strong hearts full, our souls ignite./ When all seems lost in the War of Light/ Look to the stars -- for hope burns bright!"
When I was researching lantern facts from the lantern wiki for a maribat fic, I came across the blue lantern page. It says to recieve a blue lantern ring, the holder must have lost all their hope but be a source of hope for others. As soon as I read it I thought of Jason todd.
Picture it: Jason has just had his showdown with Bruce. He's just been trapped under rubble in a building explosion AGAIN and left for dead, (throat bleeding if you follow that canon). He's been rescued by Talia/ a kind bystander/dug himself out...got out somehow and healed/is healing up.
Now he knows Bruce doesn't want him back as he is and he has no plans for the future since his plans for the Big Showdown have been completed.
What should he do with his life? Bruce doesn't want him, won't accept his way of cleaning up Gotham, there's nothing and no one in Gotham for him anymore. Maybe he should have just stayed in the explosion and died again...
But then he meets a street kid he freed from a gang of traffickers and they thank him for rescuing them and their little sibling.
His gang of street kids he employed to spy on the bats for him have collaborated to make him a thank you card and they made matching red hoodies to show they're under his protection and working for him. They're so proud to be associated with Red Hood, their protector and big brother, the one who actually cares about them and used to be one of them. Maybe one day they'll be as well known and liked in Gotham as Hood! (Even if he's adamant they go to school and stay out of trouble so they don't have to become family-less vigilantes with at least four bounties on their heads.)
The working girls sent a delegation to check on him since they heard he was in the explosion from when he went against Bats face-to-face. The youngest (underage and Hood got her out of it, but she still stayed in touch with her friends and looked for Hood to pass on potentially useful info) broke down in tears when she saw he was in relatively good health and then they all started crying.
A grandma Hood helped take down her potential mugger gave him a hug and a batch of cookies almost as good as Alfred's. She had claimed him as her surrogate grandson since hers died in a brawl at Blackgate, and told him no less than a dozen times how glad she was that she hadn't lost her second grandson.
And so the people that Hood helped now helped him and showed him how much he had bettered their lives.
...And then a bright blue light appeared, floating in front of his face. "Welcome to the Blue Lantern Corps, Jason Todd of Earth."
...want a part two of blue lantern jason??

Batfamily as Swifties: Headcanons
Jason is a huge Swiftie-- he loves the lyricism; it really appeals to his classic lit snob side. He especially vibes with Reputation era (LWYMMD anyone??)
His voice-mail is 100% "I'm sorry, the old Jason can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, 'cause he's dead."
(Bruce hates it but everyone else thinks it's funny)
Dick and Steph are Swifties thru and thru and proud of it.
The rest of the family are swifties too but in the closet and make fun of Dick and Steph for their obsession.
...Until one day they find Jason vibing to I Did Something Bad in his safe house, singing at the top of his lungs as he cooks.
He swears them to secrecy.
One day during a road trip Dick and Steph have control of the aux (Steph won a bet) and they only play Taylor Swift.
Bruce breaks first and belts out Love Story
Jason laughs at him
Until No Body, No Crime plays. He has it completely memorized.
Duke joined the Swiftie squad when he joined the family.
Damian was caught secretly grooving to I'm Only Me When I'm With You while he painted.
Cass just loves music and sings along to anything, but one of her favorite songs to freestyle ballet to is Enchanted.
Babs is a BLINK but a secret Swiftie. She is caught when she's helping with a case. Babs instantly recognizes the background audio.
"Hey, isn't that mad woman?"
Tim:...how do you know that?
Babs: ...I heard Dick play it??
Tim: You recognized it that fast?
He's skeptical but glad someone else said it before HE did. He's teased enough about his ___ obsession as it is.
Tim is outed by Jason, who unplugs his headphones when he falls asleep, trying to pull a prank. What happens is better than Jason hoped. Tim's phone connects to the Batcave bluetooth speakers. Red blares, startling Tim awake and he falls off his chair.
He tries to cover it up by saying it's for a case. Jason uses his superior height and weight to scroll thru Tim's music files while Tim tries to retrieve his phone. The largest folder is labeled "rachmanoff" so the family wont be suspicious but it's every single Taylor Swift song (Taylor's Version) in existence. His attempt at getting out of teasing is unsuccessful.
Now they all blast their favorite songs throughout the manor...luckily Alfred likes her music too!

Everyone was having a great time meeting Dick's new boyfriend, Danny. He had a weird mix of Jason and Dick's sense of humor, knew a ton about stars and inventing, and had tons of stories to tell about his and Dick's time together. Everyone having fun, however, meant that something had to go wrong. Even if it wasn't that bad. Or a big deal.
A glowing green post-it appeared out of thin air in front of Danny. "Oooh! Someone got a bingo!" He snatched it out of the air before it could touch his food. "Dang. I was hoping it was me."
Dick slowly set down his utensils. "Danny? Sweetheart? What's that?"
Danny looked up, noticing the others startled response to the post-it from nowhere. "This is the result of the Soul Bingo." He handed it to Dick, allowing him to attempt to read the names on it. There were 3, none of which were in English.
"Soul bingo?" Damian asked, eyes narrowing, hand tightening on his fork.
"Hm?" Danny looked over to Damian, realizing he hadn't explained why he had the Soul Bingo results. "Oh! Yeah. Clockwork told me he'd let me know when someone got a bingo. He convinced everyone to let me join the Bingo game. Too bad I didn't win this time." He shrugged, not looking like he minded all that much.
"What..." Tim started hesitatingly, "is Soul Bingo?"
"Soul Bingo is basically bingo, but instead of numbers your betting who, how, or why this guy named Constantine is going to sell his soul. Anyone that gets a bingo gets a favor from the Ghost King. And anyone that makes a soul contract with Constantine gives their rights to his soul to the Ghost King. It's not quite a win-win, but it does cut down on paperwork." Danny shrugged again, taking a bite out of his food.
The Bat clan took a moment to sort through what Danny had said and all the questions that left them with.
"One," Jason said, "who's Clockwork? Who's the Ghost King? Why are you participating in the Soul Bingo? How did you even find out about the Soul Bingo? Why's there basically a betting ring surrounding Constantine selling his soul? How-"
"Whoa. Slow down. If you're going to interrogate me, you need to let me at least answer your questions," Danny joked. "Can you repeat the questions?"
"Who's Clockwork?" Jason asked, taking a breath.
"Clockwork's my mentor. He's also in charge of making sure the timeline doesn't collapse." Danny took another bite of his food. "He's super cryptic most of the time. Next question?"
It was Steph that piped up this time. "Who's the Ghost King?"
Danny took a breath and squinted at the air above the table in thought. "His name is Phantom. He became Ghost King after he defeated Pariah Dark, the previous Ghost King. Pariah was a tyrant that wanted to destroy the entire world."
Bruce asked the next question. "Did he come up with the Soul Bingo idea?"
"Yeah. He was tired of everyone complaining about Constantine, and it was the best way to avoid getting the dude's soul ripped to shreds." Danny shrugged as though it was normal to casually mention ripping apart someone's soul.
"And why did you join this convoluted betting ring?" Damian asked.
"I could finally get a day off and not deal with paperwork. Or cryptic messages that I don't understand. Or threatened. Or the Observants. Did I mention I wouldn't have to deal with paperwork, because I feel like that's important." Danny pouted and crossed his arms.
"You get threatened at work?" Dick asked, alarmed.
"Oh yeah. It used to happen more often, but it's petered out now that I'm friends with most of them. Turns out I registered as a baby to ghosts when I first met them, and they were just playing with me. Not that I understood that," Danny grumbled at the end.
That didn't soothe anyone's worries. Too bad Danny is so difficult to get information out of.
Deciding to not deal with the concerning issue of Danny being in apparent danger at work, Bruce asked another question. "Why exactly did the Ghost King decide to turn making deals with Constantine into a bingo betting ring?"
"Well, he didn't want to have to deal with the enormous amounts of paperwork for one. For two, he felt bad for the guy. Everyone dies eventually, and having your soul ripped into 10 or more pieces would hurt. Except he sold his soul mostly to demons, and they all want the full soul. And they happen to be high on the food chain, so there'd be a war between those factions. So, King Phantom offers a favor in return for the soul contract with Constantine, he owns the dude's soul. But Constantine won't stop trying to make deals using his soul, so it was decided to turn it into a bingo betting ring. Everyone he makes a soul deal with goes to King Phantom. King Phantom offers them a small favor in return. Everyone that gets a bingo gets a small favor. Everyone's happy." Danny explained.
"Except Constantine, I'd assume," Tim said.
Danny shrugged, putting more food on his plate. "He's the one selling his soul to whoever's willing to buy it."
No one knew what to say to that, or what else to question Danny on in regards to Constantine's soul, so they moved on. The rest of dinner was a bit strained.
~ * ~
Batman called a meeting. A meeting about something so important that every Justice League and Justice League Dark member was asked, but not required, to be there. So obviously almost everyone showed up.
"What's this about Batman?" Wonder Woman asked, extremely concerned about about what could require so many people to deal with whatever this meeting was about.
"We're waiting," was Batman's response not moving from his seat. He was typing on his computer.
"For who?" Superman asked.
"Wait," Batman replied, glaring harder at his computer.
Everyone waited for fifteen tense silent minutes, when Constantine arrived. The attention snapped to him, still uncomfortably silent and tense. "What?"
Batman stood up, slamming his hands on the table, and glaring at Constantine. "You fucked up."
Oh shit. What did he do to piss off Batman to the point that the entire League needed to take care of it? "What did I do?"
"You caused an inter-dimensional betting ring that my future son-in-law is a part of," Batman replied. "You keep selling your soul and are potentially putting him in harms way. I'm extremely close to breaking my one rule, and the only thing stopping me is the sheer amount of people in this room that would stop me before I could even hope to reach you in order to do so."
DC/DP Constantine Bingo
When Danny gets crowned High King he gets loaded with mountains of paperwork all because of one John Constantine. So instead of dealing with it he turns Constantine's sold soul pieces into a currency for favors from the King. (Claming John's soul for himself to end all debates)
Then because Constantine will likely continue to sell his soul carelessly Danny makes an official decree that anyone who wants can create a 5 by 5 grid of beings/situations/etc. John will se his soul to and send it to Clockwork to officially enter the bingo, creating a realms wide bingo with prices. Along with this comes a ruling that of John comes to you and wish to sell his soul in return for a favor that you can do, you must accept, preventing people from cheating.
~~~
This of course makes John very paranoid. It suddenly got very easy to trade his soul and many beings even seemed eager to do it. Despite them knowing it would not give them the ownership of his soul.
~~~
What happens when Danny receives an update on the bingo, in the form of a green postit-note, in the middle of a dinner at Wayne manor.
It could either be a meet your partners family dinner or a adopted danny dinner.
Anyway now he either has to come clean about being a ghost, the ghost king, or make up a story about befriending ghosts and getting invited to the bingo that way.
Bonus points if Danny name dropps Constantine without knowing that the Wayne's are the bats and that John had shared his paranoia with his coworkers.

#dc x dp fic#ghost king danny#batman doesn't quite understand the betting ring#but that's because danny is allergic to giving information that makes sense#and giving people context#he's trying to protect his secrets#by leaving large gaps in the information he's giving them#that gives the bats the wrong idea#constantine is fucked#yes i know this is out of character#but i prefer the batman that tried to kill joker#but was stopped repeatedly by superman#because of bs immunity joker had#and the batman that's like “well the bad guy killed themselves with their own trap”#because he's got a no kill rule#not a “have to save everyone” rule#he beats the goons half to death#he let joker joker gas his best friend in order to save his and dick's secret identities#i stand by the theory that the only reason he saved joker that one time is because dick was having a mental breakdown over killing him#so technically canon's wrong
