Further adventures in "kidnapping your soulmate for fun and profit" for @twird96.

"You did good with that guy who wrecked the street," Tim says, putting on Smiling Normal Civilian Face #2, which is a little more reserved than #4. Superboy turns red again.

"Technically I also wrecked the street," he says, looking embarrassed.

"It was already a wreck when you got there," Tim snorts. Property doesn't mean shit next to people. "And this way nobody died or got hurt too bad."

"You helped with that part," Superboy says, still red-faced. "Made it a lot easier to keep everybody safe with somebody who was thinking straight about getting them all out of the way, like I said. It's hard to, uh–concentrate on that many at once, you know?"

"Keeping track of where all the civilians are has to be a pain in a fight," Tim agrees, though he tries to make it sound more like he's following Superboy's logic than already fully aware of the vitality of situational awareness from his own vigilante gig. Superboy blinks, cocking his head.

"Oh–no, that part's easy," he says. "I can feel everybody. It's just, uh . . . actively spreading my TTK out that much? I gotta concentrate a lot harder. So it's just way easier when nobody's in the line of fire."

Tim . . . pauses. Tilts his head. He is, technically, aware of how Superboy's tactile telekinesis works, but that sounded like . . .

"Sorry," he says. "You had everybody there in your TTK field?"

"Mostly," Superboy says. "Like I said, it's hard to concentrate on that many people, especially if they're running around in a panic."

"Why would you split your focus like that?" Tim asks, a little mystified. Though he guesses this explains how Superboy noticed what he was doing without ever actually looking at him, come to think. "Doesn't it weaken your powers?"

"Well, yeah, but that dude was blowing up the whole street, man," Superboy says, making a face. "Somebody could've gotten shrapneled or something."

It occurs to Tim, slowly, that the amount of injured civilians really wasn't as high as it should've been, and in fact most of the injuries he did see had most likely been caused in the initial attack. So that means . . .

Oh.

. . . huh.

"Huh," he says. "I didn't realize that was something you could do."

"I try not to advertise it," Superboy says sheepishly. "So, uh, bad guys won't start going after civilians harder when I'm fighting 'em. Or pick crowded areas to pick fights in."

"I was under the impression that you advertised most of what your powers can do," Tim says wryly, though again, he did get that impression from stolen files and cheap magazines.

"Well, yeah," Superboy says with an awkward shrug. "Otherwise people don't think I'm doing anything. Like, that I'm just punching stuff or whatever. Uh, so–how long are you in town for, then?"

"Just for the day," Tim says while making further mental re-evaluations of his soulmate. And it's an admittedly terrible cover, but–"I'm flying back to Gotham on a redeye. I just dropped in to get some time to myself, but I've got school on Monday and a paper to write for it. You know how it is."

"Not so much, man, I don't do that," Superboy says, and Tim . . . pauses, again.

"You don't . . . what, go to school?" he asks.

"Naw," Superboy says. "On account of supervillains attack it when I do."

"So you're home-schooled?" Tim assumes, trying not to cringe at the idea of Rex Leech teaching Superboy math or economics or anything even vaguely in that wheelhouse. That cannot possibly end well.

"Naw," Superboy repeats with another shrug. "Got superhero shit to do. And also, like, brand deals to do. Not really my thing anyway."

. . . Tim is reminded, again, that Superboy is not in fact legally a person and is therefore not in any way protected by labor laws, and Rex Leech and every single dodgy opportunist he's been selling Superboy's likeness to probably knows that. Not even the laws intended for civilians or metahumans or minors or animals would apply, in fact.

Fuck.

The next six months of this kidnapping plot are going to be an agonizing wait, Tim's already realizing.

Fuuuuuck.

Read on AO3

twird96 replied to your post “End of the Year Writing Meme”

You are amazing, but won't these numbers be a bit lowerer, you wrote stories for your Christmas Letters too! Or is this just work published online? Either way, thank youy for sharing everything you have :)

Yeah, no, the holiday card ficlets are included in that ~20-30K unposted bunch. (There’s a horrible little series, the fourth part of the Dragon AU, and one or two little potential fics in with that, too. ^^; ) All of those numbers are from AO3, because they give me this handy little stats page

and I am, above all else, unapologetically lazy when it comes to numbers, so I don’t keep track in some nice little spreadsheet like some of these very together authors do. (Kudos to them and their organisational skills, seriously. :D)

[youkorayah]

p’sure this was on ff.net.  lemme check my old bookmarks...

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8222842/1/Uchibi-Sasuke

that it @twird96​ ?

Can I requesting your fic finders to h3lp me find one that may be down your ally? It was on ffnet and it was named something to Chibi Uchiha I think. Pretty much, during the massacre, Itachi missed a number of the small children. Sasuke was the older and had to raise them all while trying to keep the counsel off his back. I remember for sure that he befriend Naruto cuz he ruined the kids bento, Naru remade it with bad food he was sold and Sasuke went after the seller. Sasuke wanted to keep Naru

I swear I've read this but I'll put it out there

Originally titled "In Which Anakin Thinks He is Subtle, Padme Indulges Him (and Herself) and Kenobi is Caught in the Middle"

Anakin was a slave and is now a prince, Knight Kenobi wants what he cannot have, and Padme is a simple handmaiden who did not expect this but is not complaining.

[blackkatmagic]

"…And now I am hella curious what would happen if you tried to resurrect someone already alive. Backfire? Nothing? Hmm…" Oooh, what if it summoned them. Like he tried to bring back Obito to study his eyes and SURPRISE! Heres the poor tortured soul fresh from Madara

Now there’s an idea that could derail everything ever. Hmm...

[suzukiblu]

Ko-fi thank-you sentences for @twird96; Tim didn't mean to kidnap this alternate reality's kid!Kon but welp here we are.

The diner is mostly empty, which is merciful, and the waitress is in fact unphased by the arrival of a beat-up vigilante with a kid in lab scrubs. Tim pretends not to recognize the trio of Two-Face goons tucked away in the back corner booth and they pretend not to recognize him right back, thank fuck. He doesn't know how bulletproof Kon is right now but he definitely knows the waitress and cook and other couple of patrons aren't.

[winterskywrites]

OMG The little first kiss story left me giggling XD I like the canon tie ins :D

I’m glad you liked it! And I’m glad you liked the canon tie ins - I mostly put those in for my own amusement, but I’m glad that other people appreciate them too. Thanks for reading!

What sides go best with the yellow-finned sandswimmer? Has Anakin/Luke/Han ever sold anybody information on the best places to catch them?

Well obviously the best place to catch a yellow-finned sandswimmer is in the Dune Sea.

(“That’s why they call it the Dune Sea, you know,” Luke says, nodding sagely to the reporters eating out of his hand. “Because when the rainy season comes, the floodwaters rise and all the sandswimmers come out of hibernation.”)

There are several acceptable options for sides, but by far the best, Anakin says, is Tatooine’s native rice.

(Rice, of course, requires an enormous amount of water and does not in fact grow on Tatooine.)

twird96 answered your question “heyy who’s here and wants to leave me some music recs?? drop me an ask...”

If you like eeire, look up Corpse Party Soundtracks, its a horror game so a lot of susspenseful music, tho some is in Japanese, many have no lyrics

[suzukiblu]

Long time no write but here’s some further adventures in Mace Windu unfucking the timeline for @twird96. 

Currently obsessed with “has just taken charge of the Chosen One oh dammit” Mace, so for starters: he is thinking of Anakin as “Skywalker” and Anakin is calling him “Master” and there’s definitely, DEFINITELY going to have to be a moment where Mace just, like . . . stops, and Realizes. Specifically realizes that calling the kid “Skywalker” is not great master/padawan relations, for one, and VERY specifically realizes that Anakin calling HIM “Master” is EVEN WORSE. Just . . . dammit. Damn it and damn all the things and WHY DID HE NOT THINK OF THIS IMMEDIATELY, FOR FORCE’S SAKE. WHY. 

The conversation where Mace finally explains “no seriously call me Anything But That” is an incredibly awkward/stilted conversation, and this will probably not be helped by the fact that he’s gonna have it the literal SECOND he realizes it’s a problem, never mind what kind of what else might be going on (i.e., training, an argument with Qui-Gon, an active firefight, whatever!). Once Anakin gets the idea in his head he is gonna live and die by it, though. He will call him “Mace”, he will call him “Mom”, he will call him all sorts of random weird shit that makes only the barest threads of sense until he settles down about the whole concept and settles on alternating Mace/Mom. And one day he will be a Jedi Knight in his own right and then he will ABSOLUTELY call Mace “Master” all the ding-dang time just because he can. Mace will not understand this logic but he’ll have hands so whatever. Whatever!! 

Also yeah, Mace, just bite the blaster bolt and call him “Ani”. Don’t go all weird and formal with your new padawan, forreal. And of course if MACE is calling him Ani, so is Depa, and Qui-Gon probably never stopped, and Obi-Wan picks it up from Qui-Gon, and yeah by the time we get to the clones it is feared Vaapad master, powerful Jedi, hotshot pilot, and accomplished commander Ani Skywalker. Possibly the clones will not know the name “Anakin” until the first time one of them goes to space Sunday dinner and Shmi just casually drops it over space casserole for whatever random reason, after which point ALL THE CLONES know and also all have to admit that most of them thought “Ani” was a Korun term of endearment but they were still using it anyway. 

Speaking of space Sunday dinners, there’s gonna be at least one or twelve of those where Shmi randomly spends the whole weekend cooking and then just shows up with C-3PO and All The Food like “hey Mace I brought the entire 187th dinner” and Mace just sighs and calls out for space ice cream for dessert, because of course he does, this is just his life now, of course this is happening. 

Anakin is not going to get to be a knight until after the war because Mace trusts NO ONE letting his padawan go off and be a general without the buddy system going, and Anakin is perfectly happy with this lot in life because being a general would imply a) less time to hang out with Mace and cause temple mayhem together and b) less time to hang out with Ahsoka and cause temple mayhem with HER. Also, probably less Padme-time, which would be a whole other crisis altogether.

[orockthro]

For your post about Shmi and Slavery: some FFs that address these issue are "ain't no life to live like you're on the run" by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel, "Deviating Ventures" by esama, Fialleril has a number of fics that have Anakin acknowledging his slave roots and the slave culture, and the "Protege" series by Andrea13 and PersephoneKore have his mother being freed, though it is not the centeral theme of the series. Hope these are what you're looking for

Oh, thank you! I will check those out. :3 Yay fic recs! :DD 

[fialleril]

I have died. Your amazing writing has killed me. ANABASIS!!!!!! Anakin's reactions, Padme holding his hands, the numbered commands, the Jedi's reactions, the flashback. You are magical. It was a delight to read. Thank you

Glad you liked it. :)

At that point in the story Anakin is getting closer and closer to a total breakdown, but he hasn’t quite hit that point...yet.

Luckily (and perhaps ironically) Padme has a much better idea of what’s going on with him than she did in canon, and of course Palpatine is already out of the way, and Anakin has the advantage of not being a Jedi, so recovery might actually be possible in this universe.

When you get this ask, list 5 things that make you happy and pass this on to the last 10 people who reblogged/liked something on your blog ( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉ❁

[up-sideand-down]

Part 1.I took a college literature course that I loved. I was all based on short stories. Some weeks we had three stories to write three short responses (pretty much asking a discussion question and discussing your own oppositions and thoughts); some weeks we had our choice of 2-3 stories that we wrote one longer essay about then got into groups who picked the same story to discuss and edit our ideas before turning them in. Once we got one story (Hills Like White Elephants by Hemingway)

Part 2. we read and then write our own story that style (we could write pretty much anything). The professor was really big on being creative: "Reading the same thing over and over gets repetitive" so we were allowed to twist his prompts and rules to an extent (I didn't like one of the prompts, so I got permission to write my own story based on the prompt that fit most of the requirements in there own way. And if you disliked the choices he gave for the essays you could ask to switch to another

There is much to be said about giving students choice. Not everyone can be interested in the same thing. I just finished a course on the writing half of English and am enrolled in the reading half. It’s just putting them both together. Your prof had a good idea with the creative prompts. The way recommended to be was to have students write in a Writer’s Notebook that they keep in the classroom where they complete their assignments. All sorts of creativity can happen there, not just essays. 

Working in groups is also a huge yes. If I’ll remember at least once thing from Ed Classes, it’s that whoever does most of the talking does most of the learning. Students talking is what we want, especially to each other. There’s a lot of different ways to do group work so that everyone does the same amount of work. 

Your prof was one smart cookie.
