A Silly Wip Have I Been Working On.

[basalting]

okay its like a day late but heres the start of chapter one of the transfemme tim fic!

tentatively titled 'if you can stay (i'll show you the way)' ofc from mama by mcr

Considering the absolute trashfires that Dick and Jason had been after losing Robin, Tim still thinks he’s doing pretty well. Sure he’s riding the line of a total mental breakdown and his sense of self is approximately 15 seconds away from crumbling into nothingness but he hasn’t willingly started working with a contract killer or murdered his way to the top of a drug empire. In fact, if you measured the levels of insanity, Tim is like, basically fine! It’s fine! Sure he’s thinking about nuking his entire life and starting over but that’s just delayed puberty or something. Locking up his perfectly fine penthouse to rent a shitty berth for the equally shitty houseboat he bought second hand is just the rich person version of a really bad haircut and some box dye. He just- He can’t stay here. Things will be better, back to normal at least, if he puts all of this behind him. They have to be. --- Tim has always loved pretending to be other people, as a kid he’d loved playing at being someone else; role playing forums, MMO guilds, all types of social media. Years before he’d don the mask and cape, Tim had been perfecting living a double life. Online, Tim was the boy of a thousand faces. A 27 year old data analyst bemoaning his job to his guild members one day, a retired grandmother from Spain reigniting her love of technical mathematics in a forum the next. He’d spend the long, boring hours he was stuck in classes dreaming up new personas and building them out. When he did join Batman on his crusade against crime he discovered that all of his fake accounts and redirecting emails? That was baby games. Bruce and Babs handled the heavy lifting when it came to making fake IDs for cases, inventing people before Tim’s eyes in ways he’d only ever heard about in movies. Most of them followed a similar pattern, Bruce was a consummate actor and could swap accents and inflections on a dime but he was also a tall and broad man. Alfred could sub in for him on occasion and Dick was ever the showman, as long as he and Bruce weren’t at each others throats over one fight or another.

if you see this consider yourself tagged and share your wip!!

WIP Wednesday

a lil something I've been cooking up XD.

Bernard’s not stupid, okay? He knows something’s up with his boyfriend—Boyfriend! He still can’t get over that. Feels unreal every time he thinks about it. But anyways. The point is, he’s known something was off about Tim since the first few weeks of their friendship. Like, sure, Tim looks like a total nerd, but he’s way too fit for someone who supposedly spends all his time gaming. Bernard would know—he got a peek at Tim’s abs in the locker room once and had to physically stop himself from passing out. And the guy keeps the weirdest hours. And he always blames it on homework or video games, but somehow, he’s either running on fumes during the day or completely wired on an ungodly amount of caffeine and sugar. Then there’s the bruises. Tim showed up to school with new ones all the time. At first, Bernard was worried they came from his dad—especially since the bruises dissapeared for a while after what seemed like a really bad fight between them. But then Tim’s dad died, and the bruises came back. That left his uncle, but when Bernard finally met the guy, it took, like, two minutes to know—yeah, no. That man would rather throw himself into traffic than lay a hand on Tim. And then there was the shooting last year. Bernard vividly remembers how he had been frozen in the courtyard, watching in complete disbelief as Tim vaulted over a car and took down six armed gunmen like it was nothing. No hesitation. No fear. Just straight-up terrifying efficiency. So yeah. It all points to one very obvious, very alarming conclusion: Tim is in a gang.

I just love having Bernard find all the clues and come to an entirely wrong conclusion

@thesuninperigee my beloved

okay i'm separating these out in2 fandom and oc Just because you know. i feel like it.

datura cochineal (jaydicktim court of owls bullshit)

two truths and a pollen (jaydicktim pure pwp babeyyyyy)

a bundle of twigs for the cradle (jaydick and tim-on-evil-tim with crossover. because i can't resist. evil tim hops universes just to say hello, local heroes pressing f to doubt)

a step into the courageous unknowns (jaydicktim sequel to the vampire tim where they address that whole thing with the severed head. and by address i mean have you ever heard of a batfam member communicating effectively bc i haven't)

two songs by nickleback in a row (jaytim prank war)

[the title contains slurs] (jaydick where they are lesbians also there's magic bc it's urban fantasy)

OC TIM

fox leather, kid gloves (what if the elves in the prose edda had such a bad time. brainwashing/amnesia, dedicated knightly bodyguards with questionable sense of self (senses of elvf lol), a hot redhead casting AoE burn-your-dick-off spells. also the Dökkálfar are undead because i just think it's neat)

mech (yes it's titled that)(what if there were mech pilots having such a bad time and you were just a simple country mechanic trying so hard not to get your head ripped off by your boss the mafioso while the pilot tries to faceplant on your dick. lots of body horror)

falconer (two local idiots on an enforced death march (they would like to go home) to go (successfully) kill a god end up pledging themselves to the god's lover in an attempt to Not Die and end up instrumental in the god's lover's attempt to End An Entire Civilization in revenge)

always sunny always always (trio of transfemme hockey players go for a summer lakehouse vacation on lake michigan and a fucking fairy (species, not slur) shows up and tries to eat one of them sexystyle (not vore, vampire style) repeatedly. urban fantasy)

The Last King (prequel to my first published novel The Silver Knight)(it's only technically published)(one girl's attempt to get a job despite being a second class citizen leads to losing a gf, acquiring a bf (living weapon and walking war crime, he's bisexual too), and becoming king of a space station)

The Red Kingdom (sequel to my first published novel where the titular Silver Knight goes missing and the lovable lesbian Han Solo expy has to go on a fun little mission confronting facts about her self until she finds him again. he's doing fine btw <-lying)

tagging um. i don't have any friends that are writers that are also online. if you write and are online reach out i need more to read.

For the WIP ask game! 1 & 30 :)

1. the last sentence you wrote

its more than one sentence but its fine. from the transfemme tim au

"Tim," Cassie sighed, reached out to hook her hand around his neck. Reeled him in to gently knock her head into his, "You're already fucking bizarre, I'm sure whatever this is about. It's fine."

30. share a fic you're especially proud of

oooooooo probably either a good fuckin' day or it takes a village

i really liked how i wrote jasons relationships with babs, dick, tim and bruce from agfd (the whole jason teasing tim scene was my FAVOURITE to write) but itav felt very sincere to me re jasons dedication to the people who are just like him. dirt poor gutter trash trying to do the best they can.

[basalting]
