@everythingheard​ (for constantine)

3.33am. 

cat screeches as thunder sounds, woman suddenly thrown from dream to waking with such a shock that the blanket flies off the bed. rose. rose. rose. something isn’t right. cold sweat drenches body, skin too pale. there’s a girl just out of focus with dark hair. she can see her as if she’s standing there in her dark bedroom. a flash of crayons. there’s pictures. drawn pictures on a wall. lightening illuminates her empty room. angela’s somewhere in-between sleep and the waking room, some place in the middle where sight reveals secrets. cat jumps back on bed, nuzzles against her as if in worry. she doesn’t react. she knows duck is there, but she’s not quite there. she raises off the bed, goes to the window. reflections dancing upon glass. john. she can see him, but younger standing there talking to a woman. she doesn’t understand. as if something is trying to show her the pieces of a puzzle in time but for what purpose she doesn’t know. 

she doesn’t know a very many things. 

her sight growing. her returned sight distracting. reawakening her to a world denied for so long. head tilts, there’s the girl again. she’s drawn another picture, this one of who angela thinks is the girl’s mother, it’s the same woman john was talking to, but he’s in the picture too. why was she seeing this? another crash of thunder, she turns away from the window and looks back upon her room. it’s darker now, the ruminants of light somehow seeming to be consumed by something dark and malevolent. it wants the girl, she realizes though she doesn’t know how she knows. the girl’s in trouble. angela thinks her mother is too. and john.. he knows them. at least that’s what her investigative skills piece together. 

she’s cold, so cold suddenly, dread washing over her in that same way it had the night isobel left this world. she feels connected to this somehow though she doesn’t understand why. maybe it’s the fact she’s connected to constantine, that he saved her sister’s soul and now someone close to him is in trouble. it seems strange though, she might not know him especially well even if they were starting to, but she can’t imagine him hanging out with a some lady and a kid and there’d been nothing in his file about him having a child though there was a mention of him talked to in a missing person’s case in newcastle, england. but then, there’s many things she doesn’t know about him. 

slimy hand touches shoulder. 

angela gasps and turns and sees something that reminds her of the half rotted faces that stared at her in hell. it comes at her and then disappears through her as if it’s warning her to stay away. as if it’s saying that there’s a rose and the rose is theirs. whatever wants the girl has seen her too now. 

mind reels, senses chaotic and on fire. she loses herself in them as if they are consuming her. she hasn’t fully learned how to control them yet, how to focus her mind and not be lost to them when they carry her away. she’s not self aware when her body darts out of her room or when she passes her keys and leaves her apartment still in her pajamas and socks, no shoes. she isn’t aware as cold rain soaks her clothes or that she’s running. ironic and perhaps a blessing in disguise when her and john had discovered their apartments weren’t that far away from each other. images play across her mind. 

danger feels looming. 

closer and closer. on some level, angela understands her sister so much better now. on some level she fears what would happen if her parents came to visit and saw her like this– she’s an adult but so had isobel been the countless times they’d committed her.

footfalls beat against pavement, drowned by the storm sounds around her. if anyone saw her they’d call the police– she is the police but she’s more than that right now. she’s sight itself. she’s a warning. palms beat against his warded door. pounding in the night with little care for his neighbors. she hits the door again but doesn’t speak. her mind is a frenzy. her body is freezing. she doesn’t notice. he opens the door and it’s as if some huge weight that’s been upon her gives way, her stumbling forward into him.

“something’s coming for them! it knows something. it knows what a rose is. it wants to take her or kill her?  i can’t see– i can’t see clearly.. there’s a rose. and you were there! i can see the drawings… rose. there’s a rose, there’s a little girl. it wants to hurt her. it wants to hurt you—” her words come out in a frantic ramble, her body there but her voice far away. she’s still lost, lost in haywire senses. lost in sight without a tether to bring her back.

memories have a way of coming to life within the recesses of ones mind, breathing life into quiet moments of introspection or providing the course for a dreamscape. memories provide lessons and experiences and while diana has lived through ages past, she perhaps has only truly lived within the last century. she certainly has gathered a wide variety of experiences she would have never held upon the island of her birth. diana often recalls some of these events in the stillness of night as the waking world fades into the sounds of the ocean in her mind, lulling her into a slumber she knows sometimes alludes the man at her side.

sometimes she thinks of her adventures with etta so long ago. on more trying nights she thinks of alien terrors. other times, she recalls moments on a farm throughout the years too. she had never intended to become so ingrained within a mortal family unit. she had wanted to see where the man she loved had come from, wanted to learn more about him, find his scent in the walls of his childhood room. yet they had been so welcoming and after time and perhaps some confusion, they had come to understand her in their own way. accepted her youth and presence. such had been how allison and ian had come to know her and how they had later come to her, providing her with something of which perhaps had given her more insight into her own mother than she could have ever held prior.

it's lost in a moment, the dreaming changing the time and place but not the story that finds diana seated on a beach with two children playing next to her and a panda bear seated not four feet from them as if they were all having some kind of picnic. she can taste the salt in the air, smell the sea and feel the coolness of grains of sand. the two children with wide eyes and happy smiles are as real as the day she visited them when their mother held a task and diana had offered to watch over them. of course allison and ian had not been to the island of her own youth nor had they ever had a picnic with a panda (though she had taken them to see a panda once) yet her mind had chosen to meld such experiences together like a life bore of clay.

she stares a moment, perplexed, the strangeness of the panda's presence causing her mind to begin to rebel briefly.

this scene isn't quiet right. but then allison tries to hand the bear her bowl and diana's suddenly distracted from her quandary. 'pandas don't eat macaroni.' diana's voice speaks, the young girl frowning for a moment before shrugging. the panda continues eating the piece of bamboo it held drawing her attention back just as she feels a sudden weight upon her shoulders.

warmth.

the dreaming begins to fall away, swirling memories into shards of sea glass until steve's face begins to come into focus and diana can feel the coolness of their sheets. this is still a new feeling, a new experience, having steve there to experience life with her even if he has been back for a short while now. there had never been time for them, not a century before nor decades ago. but now, now they held time within the palms of their hands. they were learning what it meant to begin life together. to live. to truly live.

"not quite a dream. not quite a memory either." diana states groggily, her body working to adjust to her now awakened state. "panda are ian's favorite animal and let us say that allison went through a phase where all she wanted to eat was macaroni." there's a pause then, her arm raising from her side to reach out and brush the side of his face as if a part of her still can not believe he is real, even if she knows he is. "ian will be so happy to finally meet you. much like allison, he was always a bit starstruck by stories about you." while allison remained close to diana's side often, ian was in school in the states and had yet to be able to meet his great uncle though he was well aware of his return from both allison and diana.

@legaciestold said: ❛ Pandas don’t eat macaroni. ❜ (diana to steve)

It's so much more convenient being an insomniac in the twenty-first century.

That being said, Steve's not entirely certain that's what he is, but it's what he feels like. Falling asleep is no longer an activity he relishes as he once did, when he would go for stretches of time where catching more than a few hours of rest in a comfortable bed was almost euphoric. Now, it rather unsettles him instead. Although Steve doesn't think knows that the gods won't rescind their decision to restore life to him again ( he's too useful to them, they would likely deem it a waste ), he can't help the discomfiture that prickles the back of his mind when he lays there in the dark. What if he closes his eyes, submits to the weight of slumber, and never comes back?

That won't happen, it won't, just — what if?

So, sometimes, when the question grows louder and louder until it drowns out the ticking of his watch on the bedside table, he foregoes falling asleep at any reasonable hour all together. At the very least, there are plenty of twenty-first century ways for Steve to occupy himself without disturbing Diana in the bed beside him. He can listen to any music he wants or these radio programs they call ' podcasts ' now with wireless earbuds, use a softer light from his phone to draw or write — hell, he can even read a book on the damn thing! Insane.

The latter is precisely what he's doing when Diana begins to shift around beneath the covers. For a moment, Steve wonders if he's bothered her until he catches sight of the furrowed expression upon her face. Is she having a nightmare?

"Diana? Diana." Setting his cell aside, he leans over to gently grip her shoulders. However, the nonsensical phrase ( ' Pandas don't eat macaroni ' ) that falls past her lips before she finally opens her eyes leaves him utterly bemused. As their gazes meet, a grin creeps across his countenance. "Shit, what kind of dream were you having?"

Tim suffers from a situation where he occasionally commits thought crime (thinks about how killing someone would be easier/how he would like someone to be dead/plans out how to kill someone) but does the right thing in person, and doesn't kill people and will act heroically to save even the lives of villains and people he hates. Which gets him cancelled as lacking in morals and being 'two seconds from killing at any time'. While someone like Jason, who commits actual crimes in person but validates the reasons for doing it in his head, gets lauded for why killing drug dealers is excellent and should be morally correct.

Maybe it's a bit law and justice and rules follower of me, but thinking the bad thoughts and still doing the right thing is a better approach than doing the bad thing while telling yourself it's for the right reasons actually.

Actions are more important than what you say in the privacy of your own mind. That's the bit other people can see and interpret.

@everythingheard​​ (bruce)

it was bad enough that kryptonite was in possession of anyone, though, she supposed if it had to be, her fears were tempered mildly by the fact it was bruce and lex. bruce wouldn’t use it against her, or her cousin unless kal gave him a reason to– something of which kara was confident would never happen. they may have been cautious of kal at first, however, he’d gained her trust, and she felt at least a certain level of trust was granted him by bruce now too. and lex…  he wouldn’t use it against her. of that much she was assured of her own judgement of him. they’d known each other since they were young, a time which felt a lifetime ago and they survived the trials and tribulations of zod’s invasion and ramifications of discoveries made in the aftermath. no, he wouldn’t use it against her, but that didn’t mean kara liked the uncertainty which lingered in the back of her mind when the question of other kryptonians was supplied. 

oh she’d raged at both of them when she’d found out lex’s team had pulled the chunk out of the ocean and he’d been harboring it, only calmed after a brutal argument and bruce’s mediation. 

now, however, the issue of kryptonite had come up again, with perhaps more dire ramifications. “i’ve received intel that the d.e.o. has kryptonite.” there was a reason that, despite the fact she had aided the organization a few times, kara had always been extremely cautious of them just like bruce was of institutions like a.r.g.u.s. the d.e.o. existed to deal with alien threats on earth, which, was not something that was unneeded, but they were also controlled by government oversight. what would happen to the aliens they monitored if control over the organization became corrupted? if the military decided someone was a threat that wasn’t one in a rush to judgement? and now they held the very thing that could harm both her and her cousin if they were so ordered. 

kara trusted bruce explicitly. 

she trusted lex too, at least where she was concerned. but the government with kryptonite? kara might be willing to hope for the good in people, but she’d also grown up in a city full of corruption and trained by bruce who always had a contingency for the ‘what if’ scenario. call her cynical in this situation, but that, kara did not trust.

[legaciestold]

"i do not believe anyone, when finding themselves upon the journey of parenthood, knows what they are doing at the beginning." her words come out softly, a light but serious expression upon her features as she looks upon her newer ally and friend. of course, diana had not held a typical childhood and held no true base for understanding how hers differed from so many others; yet, her eyes had been opened to many things within the last few years. she had made many mistakes and formed many assumptions in her excitement to have children in her life, though, as any new parent did, she quickly learned to correct them and adjust. "no amount of training with the amazons or informational books truly prepared me for what it would be like to take in two children who had just lost the only parent in their lives. but you learn as you go and if there's anyone who excels at such it is you, bruce. you will make mistakes no matter how hard to strive not to. what's important is that you do not let those mistakes define what comes after them."

"if you need further proof, look to your relationship with your sister. i know you are of the same age but i have seen you with kara. you look out for her, you train her, you support her. perhaps it is not exactly the same thing, but i believe the fact you are a good brother lends to you being a good father." there were many things of which diana and bruce did not agree upon, yet she had always supported him thus far, it was what a friend was supposed to do. her many years traveling with etta after the war had taught her that. and so diana would steadfastly show bruce all the encouragement she could now. "i never truly imagined it for myself either. yet it appears those children were always fated to be in my life for the gods themselves granted allison power not long ago. it is clear this is the path the fates have given you too."

so many had lost their lives after zod's invasion, with them still reeling from toxins and floods of the previous few years. (even if diana had not been within these twin cities she had seen the news.) but, now there was hope in the wake of tragedy. hope to rebuild. hope in an age of heroes like the songs used to sing about so long ago, but now in a new age. and bruce could bring hope to the life of a boy just as he had when he'd led people in the water, a beacon of light in darkness. and that hope, that light, was something diana strived to see and help cultivate in her interactions with bruce. he could be brutal, so could she at times. yet, bruce was so much more than that in ways she sometimes wondered if he saw in himself. his work to make arkham better, to prove pathways for criminals to find a new, good path.. his work funding of various programs to better the city, to help rebuild, the way he was with his sister, with alfred... perhaps, having a ward would help him upon his own path and open him to so much more. such had her.

@legaciestold said: "i believe it will be good for you, bruce, in the wake of what's happened. the boy too, that you are adopting him. allison and ian bring much joy to my life, even in times of great stress." (elseworld; diana to bruce placed in the aftermath of mos in that timeline)

Good for him.

There are times when Bruce is no longer certain of what precisely that might entail, and part of him resists the insinuation now. If he finds himself shrouded in moments when he fails to do what's best for himself, how is he to care for a child? Even with the reassuring knowledge of Alfred's aid, perhaps this is nothing short of madness.

And yet — when he had seen that lone figure standing amid the rubble that had crushed the boy's parents, it had felt as though the decision was already set in his mind, reservations and madness be damned. For a split-second, Bruce had been thrust back to that night: just a child standing between his parents' dead bodies while their blood trickled and pooled along the cold pavement. What might have become of him and Kara were it not for Alfred? What if this boy didn't have that?

As it had turned out, he had discovered ( during an inquiry as Bruce Wayne as opposed to the Batman ) that Dick hadn't had anyone left alive who cared. Impulse had led Bruce to where he is now, speaking with Diana while his new ward settles in at Wayne Manor.

"I don't know what I'm doing." A shake of his head followed. "He's older than I was when my parents died, but — " His gaze, which had lowered while his mind raced, lifts to meet hers once more. "I never imagined myself as anyone's guardian, not as myself."

[whipbogard]

do you have a bruharvey comic reading list ?

Lmfao I personally feel like every Harvey-centric comic is somewhat a BruHarvey comic if you squint 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This list is in no way exhaustive and I'm pretty sure I've missed out some very important stuff but nevertheless, this is what I could think off at the top of my head:

Disclaimer: I'm bad at continuity. And I won't call some of these excellent writing but they did give me all the delicious bruharv moments.

Batman - A Lonely Place of Dying - Some nice parallels between Batman and Two-Face were made in here when they're busy trying to outwit each other. This is mainly focused on Bruce's angst post-Jason's death and it is rather delicious for the angst-lover. And also origin story for Robin Tim.

Batman: Year One - That infamous scene where Batman hid under Harvey's desk. That's it. That's big reason enough for you to read it. (Harvey is also exceptionally hansum in here. Will always be one of my fav Harveys).

Two-Face: Year One - Chummy college days, Bruce hanging out at Harvey's office late and night and also the one where 2F didn't listen to the coin and spared Bruce's life :^)

Batman: Eye of the Beholder - The one where Jim introduced Harvey to Batman and then they started hanging out together and left Jim out. JK JK JK LOL but it sure felt like that 🤣 In all honesty though, this is one of--if not--the best Harvey story out there so please read it anyway!!!!

Batman: Face The Face - This takes place sometime after Batman: Hush (where if you recall, Harvey betrayed Tommy to save Bruce's ass uwu). Harvey is somewhat "cured" now that his face is fixed. He go about protecting Gotham in Bruce's absence. And oh, Harvey recalling the 30 days whirlwind of a romance with Bruce where they trained together and also went for dinner dates and movies (I KID YOU NOT)---and obviously got 2F very upset LOL.

All-Star Batman: My Own Worst Enemy - The one where Bruce and Harvey went on a cross-country trip while being handcuffed together. Also a look into their childhood together at that very weird school lol

Batman and Robin #24 - #28 (The Big Burn) - This is 2F's origin story for current continuity. The one where Harvey called Bruce a Prince (while looking at his own reflection on a knight armour) and Bruce called Harvey "dummy" affectionately. Also here we learn that Harvey had known that Bruce is Batman since forever and has been protecting that secret from 2F.

Detective Comics #989 - #993 (Deface The Face) - My beloved Gotham Justice Triumvirate reuniting and working together!!!! The ending to this arc truly fulfilled my love for that chasing game between a hero and a villain tbh uwu

Detective Comics #1020 - #1024 (Ugly Heart & Prelude to Joker War) - It started out weird enough with 2F having a cult of some sort and having real weird erotic ritual involving the coin (lbr you know I'd join this cult in a heartbeat LOL). Again, this arc emphasized on Harvey's struggles to protect Bruce and his identity from 2F. And Harvey teaming up with Bruce to beat Joker's talons!!!!! It ended with 2F being suppressed and a somewhat "reformed" Harvey in Blackgate being visited by Matches. I like this arc for a lot of shippy reasons lmfao ("Promises, promises" hehe)

Detective Comics #1062 - present - The current craze. An excellently written Harvey by Ram V and Simon Spurrier. I look forward to where this is heading! (As of now, seems like Harvey has stopped making an appearance but I sure hope he'll come back again!!!)

ADDITIONAL MENTIONS

The Doom That Came to Gotham - This is a depressing Elseworlds story with Lovecraft elements but the BruHarvey in here is absolutely golden and even more so in the movie version.

Batman 1989 Newspaper Comics - I have yet to go through this tbh but there are a lot of good bruharv moments in here and thIS ONE RIGHT HERE I s2G GETS ME ALL THE TIME

THAT IS ALL!!! Thanks for asking me this because now I have a proper record to refer to since I'm so bad with arc names and issues etc 🤣
