Aziraphale hates jazz. He hates it. Really.

That is... until he witness Crowley playing saxophone for the first time.

Do you ever see a fic and you’re like “I’ll go back for that later” but when you try to find it later it’s like it never existed and was in fact just a figment of your imagination, no “this fic was deleted” anywhere, nothing

and like you vividly remember a piece/detail of that fanfic so you know exactly what to look for but it’s just fucking gone

[an-atlas-or-other]

I just rewatched tgcf, and I swear to god, I need someone to write a fan fiction where everything is the same but where Xie Lian and Hua Cheng fucking address the romantic tension between them.

🐝 : Bird in the Hand

(for the fake fic ask game)

Bird in the Hand

When Ollie shows up at Roy’s doorstep on a cold January morning, a duffel bag in one hand and a hangdog expression on his face, Roy isn’t surprised. It’s not unusual for Ollie to drop off the grid for a month or two only to reappear with a suitcase of gaudy souvenirs and a long, rambling story that might or might not be entirely true. Sometimes a new scar or two. It’s just what Ollie does, what he’s always done. (The difference is that Roy used to go with him.) Roy lets him in, because of course he does. It’s Ollie on his doorstep. (He tries to ignore that smug little voice in his head that says, see, if I hold out long enough, he comes to me.) He’s expecting the useless keychain and the ugly Metropolis-themed shirt, the blustery concern about how well Roy’s leg is healing, the improbable story about brain-sucking aliens. What he doesn’t expect is for Ollie to pass him a tattered letter in a well-worn envelope. The furtive, wounded look that Ollie gives him when he says, “Speedy, I need your help.” He doesn’t expect to learn that Ollie has a son.

Not exactly a summary, but it's what I imagine I'd post as the summary. It's a things-go-slightly-differently AU, where Ollie gets some letter telling him about Connor (I can't decide which continuity to go with in terms of whether or not he already knows), and goes straight to Roy's doorstep. Set sometime in the year after Snowbirds (probably a bit after GL #100, in which Roy breaks his leg), because there are not nearly enough comics exploring Roy and Ollie's relationship during this period.

Ollie sees it as a family road trip, an excuse to spend time with Roy (to make things right with him), but he's also grappling with Connor's existence and coming to (belated) terms with his own fatherhood. Roy sees it as a quest for his own replacement, the son who will fill the holes Roy could never fill. Neither of them say what they really mean.

And then road trip shenanigans. And lots of feelings.

Pros of re-reading your own fic

a good time;

Has exactly the tropes you like and the characterization you want to read;

Gratification: yes you did finish a thing and yes you did do good;

just a very fun time all around.

Cons of re-reading your own fic:

Is that another TYpO

[arkred]

Where are the fics and the fanart? Where?!?!?!

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

thinking about the expert masseuse Alfred hired for the family that is paid a small fortune annually to provide massage services and ignore so, so many things. No questions, no remarks, just quality service and an ironclad NDA that, if broken, would probably topple said masseuse’s entire family line.

Things Alfred is paying them to ignore, in no specific order:

Bruce’s spinal hardware courtesy of Bane :)

weird amounts of muscle on everyone, even the kids (despite them allegedly not working physical jobs)

scars

FRESH scars

the fact that every joint in Bruce’s body clicks when moved/manipulated at the tender age of 42

Olympic athlete level physiques

rotator cuff injuries across the whole family

scars that are definitely from bullets and/or acid splashes

old signs of what looks like torture (Bruce)

Dick’s entire left arm is basically screws and plates (he “fell really bad” once)

every single family member takes deep tissue massage with max pressure with 0 complaints

calluses

no really, the weirdest fucking calluses

"Weird Questions from a Weird City: Batfamily Edition

Duke Thomas: What’s your biggest fear?

Jason Todd: That I’ll never be good enough for anyone.

Tim Drake: Everyone hates me and talks about me behind my back.

Dick Grayson: Vampires.

Jason Todd: ...

Tim Drake: ...

Dick Grayson: I got turned into one once and nearly killed peoples. It's a bloodlust, you never know when you'll be fully quenched and every non-vampire is a succulent vessel... But I'm not a vampire anymore and that is in my past.

Dick eats his apple after that.

*silence*

Duke Thomas: Holy crap stick, Batman.

Tim: Can I change my option to Dick Grayson?

Jason: Same.
