I think I look at this piece in my file folder at least once every few weeks. It's beautiful. ❤️❤️

happy [late] birthday @dangerouspompadour!

Here is my rendition of a lovely scene from Your Lying Smile  that you should DEFINITELY read if hadn’t yet and read again if you already did because it’s that good!

Lying Down on the Job - Part Two

I've been meaning to do a second part to this set for ages - the time has finally come.

[faeriekit]

hi! hope you're having an okay day. I was wondering if you had any fic recs, specifically with Matches Malone and/or identity shenanigans? I also really enjoy those fics :D hope you have a good day!

Identity shenanigans or Matches Malone?? Uhhhhhhhhhhh (*immediate panic*).

So the thing is, it really really really depends on what you, stranger, are comfortable with, and what you enjoy?? There are a lot of fics I like, or at least have tried out myself, but there are also a half-dozen that are super content sensitive, especially when it comes to, like, gang stuff and Gotham's underbelly...? I'm going to put a couple things here, but. Uh. I will also recommend just opening the Matches Malone tag on ao3 and applying your own filters, since I don't know any of your hard lines! There's only like 173 fics in total. Sorting through them is super easy. Have fun and be yourself.

On the other hand, I've got some stuff here:

Matches Malone identity nonsense:

⭐Good girls don't, but I do: Superbat, several undercover identities, gender fuckery (of what nature is up to reader interpretation), Journalist Clark Kent, and first time meetings! Unfinished so far, but super fun with a lot of potential! I am very excited about this one!!

⭐Have I told you about Minnie? Steph and Bruce bonding! Turns out, if you're pretending to be someone else, it's super easy to say nice things about your kids when they're not listening, lol...or are they? 👀

Matches Malone Has Too Many Kids: Man, weird how Matches Malone has as many kids as Brucie Wayne, huh....and boy will he tell you all about what his crime family has been up to! Features Bruce & Family bonding via undercover identities; what could go wrong?

⭐homewrecker: Omegaverse; Red Hood accidentally tells Two Face that Matches Malone (Bruce, undercover,) is his mom. ...Whoops. Now all of Gotham has an opinion on Matches' (Bruce) and Batman's (also Bruce) custody battle over their crime lord son, and new step-mom Bruce Wayne (also also Bruce) is asked to weigh in lmao. Top tier comedy. So dumb. Cannot recommend enough. Every single Bat kid takes the piss. Gotham's undergound is in a tizzy. Bruce is so, so tired.

⭐Under(under)cover: DC x White Collar. Tim, undercover as an ex-con in the government's favorite form of law enforcement, suddenly has to get the detectives around him off his back before his identity is exposed...so obviously pulling out a few Malone family members is a good enough distraction, right? 💀 Pretending you've recently escaped a crime family is totally not an extra burden to your already half-busted cover identity, Tim! There are no possible consequences for this!

Don't Mess with Ma's Boy: Ma's Boy, Metropolis's enforcer for Mafia head Ma Kent, catches a Bat in his back yard. Obviously, the solution is to show him around town and share street food, of course. (SuperBat, with Super Shenanigans lmao)

Other Malone nonsense (Batfam Identities Two, Electric Boogaloo):

Playing with Matches: Batfam-centric secondary identities schtick. You're a Malone! You're a Malone! Red Hood's a Malone?? Everyone's a Malone!! Outside POV from Red Hood's gang and more!

⭐Robbie Malone saves the day & spills secrets: a DC x White Collar undercover op extravaganza, featuring Jason and Dick as our MCs. (TW: does feature fears of sexual assault, nothing onscreen.)

The one who got away: another DC x White Collar fic. Turns out, uh, if you don't tell your new kid that you're the famous Gotham Bats or why one of Gotham's most famous untouchable mob families is coming around to visit all the time, they're going to come to their own conclusions! Those conclusions may not be flattering! They might be scared enough to cut and run, actually! You may have to apologize for making this extremely stressful on them!! ...If they let you back in at all!

Features smut (mostly SuperBat)(There are other ships in the tag they're just not my thing; go explore the tag yourself for other options):

⭐I want to sell what you're buying: Clark Kent, journalist, meets Matches Malone, informant, for a...wilder time than he was expecting to agree to on his trip into Gotham. (TW Fic eventually makes it more obvious that Clark knows who/what he's agreeing to, but it does read on the edge of identity dubcon for a hot minute if you're sensitive to that)

Matches and the Doll: I do love the dynamic of a ne'er do well and his extremely obedient Super as choice of undercover roles, but this is, at the end of the day, all leading up to wild exhibitionist smut FYI

Pretty Reporters Are Always In Need of Saving (title is largely self explanatory) is followed up with by a SuperBat week 2024 fill Good Boys Play with Matches. It's uh. You know. Alley sex and roleplay. Read the warnings.

Recs from the discord (Home of the Apiary Genders!)

(Un)Conventional Date Night: Dp x DC. Matches Malone and two out-of-town scientists tear up the town on their night off!

Your Boy That Was, the Son That Is... More Matches Malone & Red Hood identity angst. What happens when the son recognizes his father, but the man himself cannot?

Art:

Bruce as Matches Malone and Clark Illustration, as presented on ao3!

I think that's all I have time for today...? There are other identity shenanigan fics I love that aren't on here, but this list took me like an hour and a half and there is other writing I'm supposed to get done today...lol. I'm only 181 pages into this unreleased fic! I better get moving! 😜

Thanks for asking!🧡

i am not immune to post-canon laishuro

[ronnierosest]

I am physically unable to wait till I finish this, so let me throw another WIP Shoutout to @a-aristippus @madnessandlovesstuff @tales-of-ryloth @snowleopard-from-venus and many others who added tags and words in their reblogs for me to smile at ♥ (pspspspspps I am also absolutely looking to join an Obikin/StarWars discord, fuck knows I need friends to deal with these star-crossed tragic soulmates) Awkward Motion by Hellhills.mp3 (read as a person talking to themselves) So tell me why I feel this way Someday it has to go away We didn't really like this place We made a promise we would stay Been so unbothered by this hate Now you found comfort in my pain And you keep staring at your grave And you keep wishing that was me

Don't give me options, you got none yourself Don't make me worthless, you got no one else

Don't let go, it's not your fault You're all alone and no one's gonna change that Don't let go, it's not my fault I'm on my own, I would do anything to change that I forgot your face, yet I still remember to scream your name It all got erased, nothing but a waste of time, a waste of space

Since I'm still thinking about Ming today... Let us compare Three Mings.

1. Ming when he's Scared*

*caught off guard by domesticity/affection and how much he likes and wants it

2. Ming when he's Trying*

*to fix the shit he does when he's scared, but still seem cool and controlled (of highest priority always)

3. Ming when he's Scared*

*deeply fucking terrified, scrambling, on the precipice of a complete break from sense and reason which he shan't recover from for years

And the thing is, which of these Mings do you think stays with Joe in his bones, in his gut. Which of these Mings are the Mings Joe remembers and thinks of as true?

Ming my babygirl, you have so so soooo much more Trying to try.

when naruto was like but i crumble completely when you cry it seems like once again you’ve had to greet me with goodbye

[kingstarkingslay]

The soft glow of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm light over the room. Sirius lay sprawled across the bed, his arm draped lazily over Remus, who was nestled against his side, feeling warm and content.

“Hey, Padfoot,” Remus murmured sleepily, his voice muffled against Sirius's shoulder.

“Yeah?” Sirius replied, half-asleep but already grinning at the sound of Remus’s voice.

“What would you do if you woke up one day and found out you were actually a giant marshmallow?”

Sirius snorted, waking up just a bit more. “Well, first, I’d have to figure out how to get out of bed without squishing myself. That would be tricky.”

Remus giggled, picturing it. “And then what?”

“Then I’d just roll around town, spreading sweetness everywhere,” Sirius said dramatically. “I’d be the life of every party. Everyone would want to hug me!”

“And what if someone tried to roast you?” Remus teased, raising an eyebrow.

Sirius gasped in mock horror. “Then I’d turn into a gooey blob and escape through the nearest window! Marshmallow agility, you know.”

Remus laughed, the sound like music to Sirius’s ears. “Alright, Mr. Marshmallow, next question: What would you do if you woke up one morning and found out you were a unicorn?” Remus asked, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Sirius pretended to think hard, his brow furrowing dramatically. “Well, first, I’d probably check to see if my mane is fabulous,” he said, running a hand through his own tousled hair. “Then I’d spend the day prancing around the forest, spreading glitter everywhere!”

Remus chuckled, shaking his head. “And what if someone tried to ride you?”

“Easy! I’d just buck them off and yell, ‘Only for Remus!’” Sirius declared, punctuating his words with a playful kick.

Remus laughed, snuggling deeper into Sirius’s side. “Alright, next question: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?”

“Chocolate frogs, obviously!” Sirius answered without missing a beat. “They’re delicious, and they keep hopping, so I’d never run out of fun!”

“True, but what if you had to catch them every time?” Remus teased, raising an eyebrow.

“Then I’d become the greatest chocolate frog catcher in history!” Sirius exclaimed, puffing out his chest. “I’d have trophies and everything!”

Remus couldn’t contain his laughter. “I can see the headlines now: ‘Sirius Black, Champion of Chocolate Frogs!’”

“Exactly!” Sirius grinned, clearly enjoying the banter. “What about you? What would you choose?”

“Hmm… probably pumpkin pasties,” Remus said thoughtfully. “They’re delicious and comforting, just like you.”

Sirius’s heart swelled at the compliment. “Flattery will get you everywhere, you know.”

“Good to know,” Remus said, feigning innocence. “Next question: If you could turn into any animal, what would it be?”

“Definitely a dragon,” Sirius replied, his eyes lighting up. “I’d be massive, breathing fire and soaring through the sky. Everyone would be in awe!”

“What if you accidentally roasted someone?” Remus asked, suppressing a smile.

“Then I’d turn back into a human and say, ‘Oops, my bad!’” Sirius laughed, imitating a casual shrug. “I’d make sure to look really innocent, too.”

Remus shook his head, chuckling. “You’re terrible!”

“Only in the best way,” Sirius said, leaning down to plant a playful kiss on Remus’s forehead. “Your turn again!”

“Alright,” Remus said, eyes sparkling. “If you could only speak in song lyrics for a day, what song would you choose?”

“‘I Want to Break Free’ by Queen,” Sirius answered immediately. “I’d just wander around singing about how much I love freedom… and how I can’t resist a good adventure!”

“And what if I asked you something serious?” Remus inquired, biting back a grin.

“I’d just sing it! ‘I want to break free, I want to break free!’” Sirius replied, bursting into laughter.

Remus joined in, their laughter filling the room with warmth. After a moment, Remus paused, his expression softening. “You know, I really love these mornings with you.”

“Me too,” Sirius said, wrapping his arms tighter around Remus. “You make everything better.”

“Even if I ask silly questions?” Remus teased.

“Especially because of that,” Sirius corrected, his voice serious yet playful. “You make being silly feel special.”

Remus smiled, warmth flooding his chest. “Alright, last question for now: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?”

Sirius grinned, looking thoughtful. “The power to make every day a cuddly day with you.”

Remus felt a rush of affection, and he nestled even closer. “I’d say you already have that superpower.”

Just something I had lying in my notes app for weeks . Thought I’d brush the dust off and post it , waddya think ?

A day late, but I promised @arisukingdom that I would do a Father's Day drabble. Some Your Lying Smile Universe Inuparents fluff.

He had forgotten how tiny they started out. Small, squishy, and smelling of their mother. He hadn't gotten the chance to hold Sesshoumaru when he was this small. His mother was sternly traditional about those sorts of things. Izayoi, on the other hand, demanded he be by her side through the entire labor and it allowed him the astounding experience of being the first person to hold his newborn son. The midwife instructed him on how to catch the babe and how to gently clean him up before surveying him for a long moment. Clean and dry, he was rosy from being wiped down and the persistent angry cries. It was clear he wanted the comfort, dark, and warmth he had left. Touga couldn’t begrudge him squalling and wanting his mother. Within moments of resting him on Izayoi's chest, he quieted and made squeaky sounds of relief. “Touga, he is… perfect,” Izayoi sobbed, tracing her fingers through the slightly sticky curls on his head and over the floppy puppy ears that adorned him. The Inu no Taisho could not agree more. Hours later, laying beside Izayoi as she nursed their son, Touga took more time to study him. His hair, cleaner and now dry, was definitely silver. His nose was slightly turned up, tiny rounded claws tipped his little fingers and toes, and he grunted and whimpered like any inuyoukai pup would. He was most definitely a son of the Inu no Taisho. But the babe was also very much Izayoi's son. The shape of his eyes, his chin, the shade of his skin, those were his wife. A hanyou. The melding of a human and an inuyoukai. His son. Touga smothered his concerned face when Izayoi finally took her eyes away from the pup to look at him. Too late. Her brows dropped in worry. "No, Little Rabbit. Everything is fine." He let out a softly shuddering breath. "Our Inuyasha will grow up strong and cared for," he whispered to her, sidling closer so he could press his forehead to hers while the baby fell asleep between them. "He will know he is loved." He gripped her shoulder to emphasize his words. It was Touga's pledge to his mate. What's more, it was his solemn pledge to his hanyou son. He knew that the outside world would not understand. He would be different. But within the walls of the keep they called home, he would always know peace and safety. Inuyasha would be loved.

Hi, I sent an ask like 5 minutes ago but I'm not sure if it went through for certain reasons so if it did just ignore that,

I love your fic so much. One of my favourite things is the authors note, I love hearing your rambles and thought processes behind certain scenes,

And JEE💖💖

The jee lovers in the fandom are small but dedicated, I love that man.

Any situation of an older man reluctantly and unknowingly adopting a child they hate and growing soft for them I love, I could ramble on for hours about certain headcanons I have regarding jee and zuko for hours, I need more of them (AND HIM AND BATO (please don't kill them i need AT LEAST 1 queer couple to be happy in this fic🙏🙏))

Also another thing, I do fanart and I really want to do art for this fic but I have no idea which scene to do, is there any specific ones you would want art of?

HI HI HI HI HIIII!!

I didn’t get your five minute ago ask but I got this one!! ahhhhhh my shameful authors notes haha I am very unhinged in there, I think I black out and rub my face in the keyboard honestly.

JEE LOVERS UNITED WE STAND!!!! I adore his dislike of both zuko & sokka in the beginning and now he’s falling hard for sokkas uncle and has pretty much said if anything happens to these kids I’ll burn this bitch to the ground. Unfortunately, Jees situation is going to get a bit more complicated he just doesn’t realize it yet haha.

THERE IS A HAPPY QUEER COUPLE! *gestures at liab zuko* I mean they’re happy like…. some of the time haha. Ok ok I see your point but no promises because you know when I start blowing shit up in liab I can get a little crazy :D mwahahaha.

My Favorite Scenes [6/9] | dir. Wonmo Seong (DigiPedi)

[glitterghost]

Physically, I'm here.

Mentally, I'm lying in the dark with all the friends I think about but have lost touch with, catching up and laughing, and just not missing them like I do. Lifetimes haven't passed. And I'm still with them in the heart of some of the most important times of my life.
