Been reading the absolutely amazing Timkon fic The Life that is to be Mine by @wynterstars , its the latest fic in a 1990s series by them :3, all of the fics are amazing but its defo my favorite out of the 3, so I just had to make some fanart of a scene, also to practice comics :3

I adore identity shenanigans so this has been such a treat to read, everyone ever should go read it, absolute banger

JLA Justice Lords-inspired. In a dark world, Superboy and Robin try to find a few moments of brightness.

I remembered the Justice Lords setting and wanted to write something that was at the same time flirty and funny and a little bit sad.

i made a uquiz!

Unsure I'm ever going to complete this fic bc the premise is a little weird but I've been giggling all day about this silly conversation excerpt so:

"And…well, you can't deny that some of this looks pretty bad, if you don't know about, you know." Tim gestured vaguely at the floor. "There really was the time you joined that cult. And as cults go the Cult of Blood is like…pretty cult-y?"

Dick sighed. "I forgot about the Cult of Blood. God."

"How did you forget about an entire evil organization?"

"I was trying to deal with one of my best friends being possessed by the king of hell who was also her father so I was kind of preoccupied after that."

"Jesus."

"No, Trigon."

Tim raised a hand. "Moving on," he said quickly, which was pretty fair because thinking about Titans drama could break your brain if you hadn't lived it. "There was also that time Deathstroke kinda brainwashed you? So maybe we're at two cults."

"Oh my god I forgot about Deathstroke…"

"Court of Owls, that's three…"

"God."

"Though Blood was the only public one. Still. One cult is probably…more than the normal number of cults the average twenty-something joins? Unless you count multi-level-marketing. Did you know Ra's Al-Ghul runs Mary Kay?"

Dick blinked at him. "What?"

"Controlling stake through a shell company. I have a plan in case I need to take over one of these days."

"I repeat, what?"

"It's just that I don't think one of those pink cars would go with the Robin suit…"

Around this point it dawned on Dick that Tim was joking. Mostly. He hoped.

ok so I sometimes (cough almost always) have my issues with Red Hood: Outlaws' choices but sometimes it makes up for it

i would watch thirty seasons and every spinoff.

Oh! Thank you so much for the citations, I super appreciate it <3 This is so helpful!

God I wish there was a database where you could look up comics characters and see who knows whose secret identities in which continuity

it’s so hard to look up sometimes and I can’t reread 30 years of comics every week to check

ALL timkon recs I BEG

hello hi! here are some of my favs! it got long so putting some under the cut

💄 Lipstick on the glass by @cairoscene read for timkon being soft and goofy and disgustingly in love, set in vague future college-y years with amazing core four dynamics too. cair is one of the funniest people to ever exist and we are so blessed that they decided to write some timkon. (also read for my own greatest contribution to literature, the fictional “jerry the void nexus” meme)

🎢 been a number and a name by @wynterstars i had SO MUCH FUN reading this one, a 90s comics-divergent AU where robin and superboy become friends—and crushes—when superboy is pretty new on the scene. feat. lex luthor being terrible, tim staging a rescue operation that at one point involves platform shoes and a blonde wig, spice girls references, and fantastic action sequences. it’s also a series, with an installment focusing on kon & clark, and a currently updating longfic sequel with SO MANY timkon identity shenanigans (my beloved) and kon feelings (also my beloved).

📸 the surveillance series by @smilebackwards i feel like i rec this all the time but it’s because it’s THAT GOOD. a tim-centric AU where tim joins the family late, but is still involved in bat business without the bats realizing. there’s some fun timkon identity shenanigans at the top, and some of my all-time favorite tim characterization (ruthless! lonely! brilliant!) plus a great tim & bruce arc, too.

🦉 Detours by miyaji_08 this is part 2 of a series and i def recommend reading the whole thing! a reverse robins + joker jr au that has lots of trauma and lots of healing, and in part 2 there’s timkon identity shenanigans that’s simultaneously enemies to lovers + And They Were Roommates. tim sure does run a gauntlet of horrors in this series, but it has so much healing and also one of my fav reverse robins concepts i’ve read so far.

📱 unfurl by @burins tim and kon might be dating, and there’s no kryptonian sex ed handy. bruce, being bruce, makes it his business, which means talking to clark and Realizing some things about his own feelings. superbat are billed first here, but i think timkon steal the show—i laughed out loud like five different times reading this. hilarious and sweet on all sides. (and if you like this, check out their timkon road trip fic!)

🌾 A Saturday Evening by malcyon in which tim visits the kent farm for family dinner with kon, feat. very sweet established relationship timkon and fun superfamily dynamics, and it touches on tim’s past grief over kon’s death (and complicated feelings post-undeath).

🤼‍♂️ Sore Loser by @hearteyeshayley kon learns that tim always let him win while sparring, and has to process that. this was such a fun exploration of tim’s prowess as a fighter—one who regularly has to go up against superpowered friends and foes alike—and also tim as a person who is always doing mental calculations about the people around him (in an endearing way). kon, too, got his time to shine and grow, and the ending was so smart and sweet.

🔮 Ascension by Violet_Witch an AU longfic where tim is a witchling and kon is a fallen angel who has (oops) just lost his wings. tim sets out to help get kon’s wings back, and there’s a ticking clock because angel wings are dangerous in the wrong hands—and tim has a big, horrible secret that’s about to come due. the plot/worldbuilding of this was WILDLY cool, and there was a big ol misunderstanding in the middle that had me clawing my face off (in a good way).

🌌 straight on ’til morning by merils kon vs. the terrifying ordeal of growing up, feat. sweet friends-to-lovers timkon and really thoughtful exploration of some of kon’s canon past relationships and their abusive dynamics. i haven’t finished this one yet but it’s been rec’d multiple times and i’m excited to dive back in (and it's recently complete!)—and what i have read so far gave me an amazing sequence of kon and dick interacting and dick’s big brother mode activating in an instant, which is something i now desperately need more of.

📧 aaaand would it even be a reclist by me if i didn’t include send to all by @cairoscene the absolute moment i find myself feeling down i go reread this and boom. i am instantly laughing again. timkon are just one part of a bat grab-bag here but they are so so funny and cute and in-character. maybe one day i’ll compile the timkon-centric sequel that exists in my head but for now i’ll just go reread this for the zillionth time.

okay yeah!! i’m probably missing so many good fics here because i constantly have like a zillion tabs open that i plan to read someday. also i reserve the right to reblog later like OH I FORGOT— but in the meanwhile, happy timkon reading!
