Eldritch Batman who finds Jason's corpse and uses his own blood to put his son back together and bring him back to life.

bruce who gets his power from gotham, and the farther he is the weaker the connection is. he holds jason's body in his arms, still and quiet and bloody and bruised. he's never done this before. never had to bring somebody back. never thought he could. but he looks at jason's body, looks at jason, and something inside of him screams that he can. that he should. he doesn't quite know how he knows what to do, but he does it anyway. he grabs the first thing he finds in his belt, doesn't pay attention to what it is beyond the fact that it's sharp, and he slices his arm. his blood is different to most humans, because he is different to most humans. it's deep and dark, almost black, but there's also something bright about it, something hard to explain, something hard to see unless you're looking for it.

the deep, dark, bright blood pools on his arm, sliding slowly down until it drips drips drips into the wound on jason's chest, right above his heart. bruce can feel the blood leaving his body but it doesn't feel like a loss. it feels desperate and right and like it's working, like jason is about to open his eyes any minute and he'll be fine and they'll be okay and--

nothing happens. the feeling fades. he tries to chase after it but how do you reach for something that you were never meant to grasp?

his boy is gone. he couldn't save him. all he has left is a bloody batarang and the body that used to be his son's. what else is there to care about?

it doesn't matter what he does next. he doesn't like to think about it.

later there's a man in a red helmet. he's got these skills and this knowledge that jason never had but always had the potential for. he's got a smirk that's just a little too bitter, like a smile that's been burned, that's been scarred. but it's still his smile. it's still jason's.

and bruce doesn't know how. he goes to everyone he knows has been resurrected, tries to find out what brought his son back when he couldn't do it, when he failed.

and then his other son might be dead, blown up just like jason was, and if bruce couldn't save one then he has no hope of saving the other. bruce doesn't know what to do and then suddenly jason is holding a gun to the clown's head and suddenly he's counting down and suddenly bruce's arm is raising and suddenly there's a batarang soaring through the air and ricocheting off a pipe and--

and jason bleeds.

bruce has seen jason bleed before. hazard of the job, he tells himself. he's seen jason bleed, but never like this. never quite so deep and dark, almost black, but with something bright about it. something so very bright.

all he has left is a bloody batarang and a body that might still be his son's.

he doesn't know what to do next.

Finally showing off my (deltarune) older Clover design! (As well as my tentative Asriel design 👀) Larger sprite and additional thoughts under the cut:

They're at college with Asriel and Chara and are majoring in chemistry. Martlet adopted them off the streets when they were pretty young and they latched onto her straight away, and the two of them live a few hours away from Hometown.

(Berdly always drags them into playing video games with him during family gatherings. They only really care about super smashing fighters and shooters though.)

Azzy can be kind of a dick now that he's free of the expectations everyone has of him in hometown and his friends enable this waaaaay too much.

epilogue scenario idk when i'll get to write but have to scribble down right now immediately before i forget because i am now deciding i Have to make it canon because its funny as hell to me rn:

karma, who just got back from an overnight trip with alphys or something: hey papyrus. i'm sure you had a really relaxing time lazing about while i was gone.

fluff, pretending to do random bullshit on his phone: mhm.

karma: with no secret excitement or unplanned happenings whatsoever.

fluff: mm.

karma: so, on a completely unrelated note, i found a little note on our front door when i got back. apparently we got a noise complaint.

fluff: ................mm?

karma: not an official one, it's just from one of the neighbors, but with wording like that I don't know how many more chances they'll be giving us.

fluff: .....mhm.

karma: and now i'm just, y'know, wondering if you might know anything about that, because, it might be cause for concern if we got a noise complaint while you were here alone, right? 'cause, the thing is, the note wasn't exactly talking about music.

fluff, now staring a hole into the floor and starting to sweat, shrugging: mm-mm.

karma: you don't know? really? no clue at all?

fluff: mm-mm.

karma: well, i guess that'll just remain a mystery, then. i'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that you haven't actually spoken a single word in this entire conversation.

fluff, staring even harder into the floor now: ......................mm.

karma: ...........

fluff: ............

karma: ...........

fluff: ............

karma: so am i gonna get to meet whoever it was you had over at any point, or are you gonna make me wait til the wedding?

fluff: .............

karma: .............

fluff, in the saddest, scratchiest, most whispery lost voice you can imagine: man fuck you

I miss the era of the internet where everyone had an evil alter ego/character that would show up on their channel, just to be silly, that eventually got a lot of lore from the fandom for no reason. It was a simpler time.

+ bonus

[onefey]

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

Wait I've just read something and I can't. Can people stop thinking?

[oh-phoenixx]

“It’s no use, Regulus, we’ve gotta have it out,” James cried, “I have loved you ever since I’ve-”

“Stop quoting Little Women at me, James,” Regulus said through gritted teeth. “We are not getting married.”

“But-”

“I’m seventeen, you are eighteen. We are not getting married,” Regulus repeated.

“I have loved you ever since I’ve-”

“James.”
