Jason Todd-Centric Fic Recs

Is the fic really Jason-centric if its not overflowing with angst?

Ghost Story by InsaneTrollLogic (gen), 12k, Haunting, Unreliable Narrator It starts with the phantom sound of laughter, glimpses of motion just out of sight, a boy in a tattered Robin suit, and the sneaking suspicion that not all of Jason made it back from the dead.

prologue, part one: he's a rescue by ijustmightwing (gen), 2k, First Meetings Jason Todd met Selina Kyle with blood in his teeth and a wrench in his hand. Before Batman, Jason Todd meets Catwoman and learns a skill or two.

White Lighters / Afterglow by lurkinglurkerwholurks (gen), 3k, Whump Jason Todd was the worst kind of liar.

Requiem by scandalsavage (gen), 4k, Angst, Time-Travel He blinks as his brain takes it’s sweet fucking time processing what his eyes are seeing.      “So you’re me, huh?” the kid says, rocking back and forth from his heels to his toes like he can’t sit still for three god damn seconds.     “That’s pretty cool. You’re huge.”      Jason hates him. He hates those stupid fucking curls. He hates that stupid bubbly energy. He hates that fucking earnestness, that eagerness to please. He hates that goddamn costume.      He hates the way the kid clings to Bruce’s shadow.     He despises that hand Bruce has on his shoulder.

For Those Who Can't by GoAwayOlivia (gen), 8k, Case Fic, Violence They don’t understand him at all. There is no setting him off, that’s not the way it works. And he doesn’t go on violent sprees. Jason kills when the situation demands. That’s it. Plain and simple. He doesn’t lose his temper and murder any asshole that pisses him off. Every kill is a decision that he makes, and every decision is carefully weighed and measured with a cool head. He only ever kills because the person deserves to die.

It is only, and all about Roy by chucklesbuckles (Roy Harper/Jason Todd), 5k “Great, you fucked yourself and the rest of your Star City crime fighting pals, & now you’ve fucked me too. What did you do to the windows? Missile proof glass?” He dug around in his pocket, shooting Ollie a no doubt very dirty look.      “What are you doing?” Ollie asked, so very tired already of dealing with this shitshow of a human.      “Building a bomb. Duh,” he said, petulant.

The Whale by chucklesbuckles (gen), 10k, BAMF!Jason, POV Outsider, Prison Parker jumped down from the bed and drug a plastic chair from the rec room over. It’s legs screeched across the floor. “Now, I wanna be clear. I know you, rightfully, won’t believe me, but I don’t actually enjoy hurting people.” He climbed up on the chair, situated back by Colton’s knees. He leveled the hammer at his face. “I’m not, like, a sociopath.” He let out a musical laugh. “I honestly get a little squeamish with gore.” He patted Colton’s thigh with his free hand, blowing out a regretful breath. “I know what it’s like, you know. I was beaten half to death once. True story! The jackass did it all wrong though.” He reached up, patted his cheek.

Who You Needed by inki_Bat (gen), 6k, Time-Travel "He got another one?"      Bruce flinches. Visibly flinches. Steph makes a noise as if she's about to speak but her mouth clamps shut at a look from Dick. Jason steps closer, trying to get a better look. Another Robin is not exactly surprising, even with Damian still in the role. Infuriating, but not surprising.      But no, that isn't it. This all seems too familiar. Damian is staring at him with unconcealed nosiness.      "Bruce," he can hear his voice shaking. "What the fuck is that?"

I’m not an active part of the Mouthwashing fandom (I hardly interact with it tbh) but I’ve been thinking about an AU for a while. Is this a Good End AU, or a Bad End AU? Who fucking knows, but I think its fun!

Summary under the cut bc it’s a bit long!

Concept: at the point where Curly is surprised for his birthday, he goes to tell the crew that they’ve been laid off by the company, but they’re interrupted by a warning over the ship’s intercom: there is a damaged ship, one from their company’s fleet, nearby. Daisuke and Anya are interested in exploring it, perhaps saving any survivors, yada yada. Most negatives are reasoned with and they securely dock to the ship.

(Logistically, is this possible? IDK! Their ship might not be one that can dock to others, it might just have an entrance, but it has a docking port for this AU!)

Once inside, they see that it is a TOTAL WRECK. Everything is in disarray and decay, there’s foam everywhere (but thank god the Pony Express ships are so uniform, this ship’s layout is so close to theirs they can figure out where to go.) and half the ship is covered in empty bottles of mouthwash they find in the cargo bay. (“Damn,” they think, “these poor chumps got this beat up toting mouthwash of all things.”) Then, they find the bodies, though by this point they’re little more than bones and detritus. Unrecognizable, but with wounds that suggest crew in-fighting. (They’re set around the table in a horrific display. They cannot figure out why.)

Most of the ship is abandoned. There are seemingly no survivors. And yet, they find someone in the cryo-pod! Still alive! And it is the most injured, fucked-up person they’ve ever seen. But hey, they’re alive, so they can keep them that way. They get back in their ship and continue their journey. Perhaps they even recover the corpses of the crew in an effort to bring someone closure. Who knows, authorities ought to be able to DNA ID the bones, at least.

Of course, the ship is the Tulpar, and thats them they found. Post-game, after years of decay, but still them. By whatever means, they’ve been sent back to the past to be dealt with. (I like the idea of a wormhole, simply because thats such a time-travel cliche when it comes to space).

And because they interrupted the birthday event, none of the crew know that they’re being laid off. Curly knows about Anya, but she hasn’t told Jimmy. Jimmy is woefully in the dark, and thus doesn’t crash-out in a couple days when they pass the meteor. Speaking of, Curly and Anya are a bit busy with the injured person and the corpses (and hey! If that gives Anya a reason to stay in the medbay, well, she isn’t complaining.) Curly feels guilty he’s keeping the layoff from his crew, but they’re in a pretty odd, stressful situation right now and they don’t need that info on top of it.

Post-game Curly is having a very bad time. He’s pretty convinced, for the first good few days he’s conscious, that he’s dreaming or hallucinating. Perhaps the cryo-pod failed, and he’s slowly dying? Perhaps he’s in hell for his sins? Either way, the people he sees are figments in his eyes, and he’s falling off the deep end. After a bit, and with some coaxing, he begins to believe that it is real, but it confuses him about what is true. It isn’t until he gets confirmation that the Curly he sees is real, that the Jimmy he sees is real, that he realizes what is happening, and he tries to communicate with the crew, to warn them about the future.

(I don’t have much in mind after this point because of how open it becomes. Literally anything is possible)

Many things could happen. Maybe Anya is still nauseous about giving Curly his pills, so she has someone - Jimmy, in the worst situation - do it for her when she’s ill (he isn’t kind to the injured man, and the injured man does not respond well to him. He gets replaced by Curly, and no matter how kind Curly is the injured man seems more upset.) Maybe someone finds the layoff notice before Curly can explain to the crew. Maybe Jimmy tries something with Anya in the medbay, but Curly stops him (finally, finally doing something for her.) Maybe Jimmy tries to tell his Curly that he really doesn’t like the injured guy, that there’s something wrong with the way he looks at him, they need to do something about that. Maybe Curly can tell Anya who he is, get her to warn her Curly to beware Jimmy, to do something about him before he does something. Maybe Anya reaches out to the others before the crash. Maybe Swansea, or Daisuke figure out who the bodies are, finally realizing that there were far too many similarities in that wrecked ship to write off. Maybe Jimmy finally snaps and attempts to sabotage the ship.

Maybe it works, and the crew are once again stuck in hell, waiting for death. Maybe the crew are ready, and he fails and is dealt with.

At least Curly can try to atone for his mistakes. At least they have an opportunity to survive.

Follow Me Out of the Black

Gifted to me for the 2024 Anakin-Clone Appreciation Exchange!

“Chancellor’s a Sith Lord.”

Skywalker stares at him. Fox takes off his helmet to show his face, just so Skywalker knows that he is, in fact, a clone.

“Chancellor’s a Sith Lord,” Fox repeats. “I don’t have real proof. You are going to help me get it.”

“The Chancellor,” Skywalker says, slowly, like he’s convinced Fox is the crazy one, “is not a Sith Lord. The Jedi would know.”

“Jedi are busy, and Sidious is a good liar,” Fox dismisses. “You, he likes you. He wants to make you his next apprentice, after he has Dooku taken out. He’ll call you Vader. The armor is going to be stupid.”

Skywalker just stares at him.

“I’m not crazy,” Fox says, even though that does in fact make him sound crazy. “I’m from the future.”

LAWLU FIC IDEA: APOCALYPSE TIME-TRAVEL AU

Growing up, I've always loved time-travel fics especially in the Harry Potter, Naruto and Katekyou Hitman Reborn fandoms. But as I've grown older, I find that I prefer to avoid time-travel fics unless its of an apocalyptic nature because I think its hellavu strength to move forward even when given the chance to change the past.

I dunno, I just feel like it diminishes a chara, their journey or story when they travel back in time to save loved ones. Dont get me wrong, anyone would want that chance given the opportunity but honestly, I prefer time-travel when its literally world ending instead of just because of one specific character

I dunno if I'm explaining this right, though 😅

Anyways, the premise for this is that whether it's Imu or Blackbeard as the cause, the world ended. To ensure that doesn't happen, LawLu combined their powers via exchanged hearts and rewinds time which erased their doomed future until they returned to a time where they can make a difference

I still don't know in which point of time they'd return yet

Not when they're kids though, tempting as that may be. I think either after Marineford (because of how things started to shift) or during Punk Hazard (the Gear speech) would be good

But as I'm writing this, I feel like meeting at Sabaody after the 2 years timeskip would be very interesting so I'm leaning towards that

One things for sure, because of them exchanging hearts is one of the main factors for them rewinding time, they'd have each other's hearts when they return to the past. It's one of things that helps convinced them that their doomed future was not a very vivid nightmare

Anyways, I'd love it if their crews would follow. I'd bet it would be chaotically epic 😆

So yeah, the world is gonna be turned upside down because this time, the Alliance is very much a marriage dammit!

Excerpt from Chapter 26 - Eternity is a Perfected Form of Loneliness

He’s tucking in his tunic when, of all things, Master Yoda just barges into Vokara’s office, and that weird feeling just gets even worse. The little green troll doesn’t say anything, he just looks at the two of them, and waits for Vokara to pull out a Yoda-sized seat for him.

"Hmm, thank you."  And Yoda gets right down to business.  "Much to discuss we have."

"We do?"  Obi-Wan wonders just what Yoda knows about him.  Maybe, by some miracle, everything?  After all, Yoda frequently goes to Ilum and experiences visions in the caverns there.  This "Force’s Champion" business would be so much easier if he had Yoda’s help.  But that still doesn’t explain Vokara’s presence and why here and now, and not during their twice-weekly afternoon teas?

"Yes, yes.  Much business.  About your midi-chlorians, foolish things they are."

His heart sinks.  Oh well, so much for hope.  "What about them?"

"About the discovery of the midi-chlorians, what know you?"

"Not much, Master Yoda."  That’s the absolute truth, in the timeline and his original life.  Midi-chlorians were simply a fact of life, of being a Jedi, and they were mostly shrouded in mystery.

"Youngling I was, barely able to speak, when Jedi scientists isolated midi-chlorians in living matter.  Destroyed the mystery and the beauty of our connection to the Force.  Quantified everything.  To a number, reduced it all.  A percentage."  Master Yoda thumps his stick on the floor, clearly annoyed.  "No good comes of this knowledge."

Obi-Wan sneaks a glance at Master Che, and she’s grimacing at the denigration of her work.

"But, useful it is.  And as it may be, progress we must.  Visions I had of you, before we met on Tatooine.  Of Light, and of Darkness too.  Of the great battle between.  Pivot point you may be, young Obi-Wan."

Obi-Wan nods.  This is good.  Yoda sees part of the picture.  Not everything, but a part of it.  Except that he’s seeing the wrong part, apparently.  A part that Obi-Wan isn’t the least bit prepared for.

"Your midi-chlorians.  Unique they are."

"Well, I do have an awful lot of them."

The little green troll chuckles.  "Brilliant understatement that is.  Would knight you for that, if I could."

"Well, I’m glad you can’t, because I’m not the least bit ready."

Yoda hops off his seat and toddles over to Obi-Wan, staring up at him, his dark eyes as fathomless as space.  "To me, you must listen.  Important what I have to tell you."

"I always listen to you, Grand Master."

"Yes, yes.  You do.  Good padawan you are.  Proud of you I am."  Yoda sighs, his ears drooping just a bit.  "The Force, a great gift it has given you.  Your midi-chlorians, immortal they are."

Wip Week - Canon Divergence (oh hey not a time travel!) fic where NHS shines (because everything is horribly wrong) @ladyunderthemolehill

Unfettered

by nirejseki

T, WIP, 15k, Nie Huaisang-centric

Summary: It wasn’t that Jiang Cheng hadn’t liked Nie Huaisang well enough, when they were all learning together in the Cloud Recesses. Anyone who had the energy to keep up with Wei Wuxian – and just enough good sense to help veer him off the really bad ideas, even if he did keep egging him on in regards to the medium-grade bad ones – was good news in his books. But liking him didn’t mean respecting him, and the fact that Nie Huaisang hadn’t participated much in the war – couldn’t participate much – had led Jiang Cheng to discount him more or less entirely. That’s what made it all the more surprising when Nie Huaisang ended up being the unofficial leader of the three remaining Great Sects in opposing Jin Guangshan after the war.

The Stuff of Legend

by pupeez4eva

T, WIP, 21k, Wangxian & Xuanli

Summary: The Juniors find themselves temporarily stuck in the past, and decide that now would be the perfect time to observe the epic love story of Hanguang-Jun and their Senior Wei. Things don’t quite go to plan. (Or, the Juniors deduce that a young Lan Wangji apparently hates Wei Wuxian. Clearly something is very, very wrong here).

~*~

So, MAYBE, POSSIBLY, time travel is a weakness of mine. This one has SUCH a potential! LWJ time traveling to childhood after making a deal with old god of demonic cultivation, Madam Lan lives, LWJ dealing with not being able to use his core, childhood first meeting! @ladyunderthemolehill

Molten Gold

by jesso

M, WIP, 17k, Wangxian

Summary: Twenty years after Wei Ying's death, Lan Wangji makes a deal with a long-forgotten Goddess of Demonic Cultivation. In exchange for his golden core and the promise to re-establish her worship, he is given the chance to start over again. But once he reaches the past, he finds life more complicated than ever. After all, it's not just Wei Ying he wants to save, and it hurts to realize that even those dearest to his heart are more flawed than he remembers.

Re-Planning and Writing my time-travel fic for a third time and I promise I'll actually write it this time I swear. But what should I call it. Because like my hp x sp series, it's going to be a fic a book. So I need a name for the fic and I have no clue what to call it.

Help.

Sci-Fi 3.1

Concept:

Someone with the ability to time travel goes into the past and has an encounter with someone they come back to the future to avoid. Perhaps a relationship of some kind gone wrong, or perhaps a However, they find out that the person they encountered is actually immortal and is waiting for them in the present.

Character Ideas:

The time-traveler. How did this character get this technology, and why are they using it? If this a job, passion, or inheritance? Is it borrowed, stolen, or otherwise ill-gotten? Or are they a genius or somehow related to a genius? What is the goal this time-traveler has in going backwards and forming relationships/having adventures? Are they lonely, a romantic, or perhaps looking for some kind of material gain?

The immortal. The first thing to think about is why this character is immortal. Are they a mythical being, like a vampire, or are they inflicted by some kind of curse/blessing that means they're immortal? Perhaps they're using science to prolong their life; maybe they're an alchemist or are able to see into the future. Maybe they drank a wizard's life work without realizing what it was or did! Whatever you decide, it's sort of petty to wait so long just to surprise a time-traveler, huh? What exactly happened to spark such devotion to surprising someone no matter how long the wait?

A character who exists to react to what our time-traveler is doing. This could be their boss, if they're using time-traveler through work. It could be a relative or a good friend who knows about what's happening. Maybe this person supports them in what they're doing or maybe this person really, really does not. If you're writing a dramatic romance, maybe this person is a lover or spouse and this new relationship has just complicated things.

Things to Think About:

What does a world in which characters have access to time-travel look like?

Is your immortal the only one? Are there more like them?

Time-travel might be instant but waiting is not. How has the time-traveler changed in the years between their first encounter and their meeting again?

How is our poor time-traveler going to explain this to everyone else in their life? How is the immortal received?
