Fox Day! Fox Day! Fox Day! Fox Day!

[greyseashitpost]

ao3 going down right as i’m about to get into bed after a really busy day is my personal 9/11

[geoz-n]

It took me over 10 rewatches but I just realized an electrical event starts both of the mysteries in each season of dghda.

[saintajax]

. Did my ps4 get corrupted . Again

[coffeeastronaut]

the shitscript is in fact a a a shitscript but crowley and aziraphale's 6000 years of crowley cheating at checkers every time and aziraphale never wins is seriously so insanely funny. like.

aziraphale is not at all stupid, let alone enough for crowley's literal "whats that outside!!!! [snatches his pieces]" but the fact that he KNOWS hes been cheating this whole time and has been LETTING him is so fucking funny.

not for the reason the script gives (something something its aziraphale's lame moral lesson that even he knows is stupid, but only after an 11 year old points it out to him) but for the reason ive invented in my mind, which is that this is yet another example of their looserman weirdo foreplay

Scorpio Rising/Pluto in the 1st house/Ascendant Pluto aspect observations

Credit @astroismypassion

❤️‍🔥Scorpio Risings often undergo a physical transformation after major inner healing. They represent metamorphosis and this often shows up literally in their body. After releasing emotional baggage, trauma healing, they look noticeably lighter, sharper or more grounded. They change hair, wardrobe or even facial expressions. They lose or gain weight rapidly, but not from diet, but from energetic shifts. When they purge emotion, this reflects in their body, it's like their body needs to be updated.

❤️‍🔥Scorpio Risings are protective of their emotional core, so they often create subconscious tests to see who is trustworthy. They do this by revealing something that is half-true, provoke someone to see their real face beneath politeness or go quiet, cold, blunt to check how loyalty you are under pressure.

❤️‍🔥Scorpio Risings have a lot of survival tactics, like hypervigilance, emotional restraint and strategic silence. That's why they struggle to relax, overshare or appear vulnerable. Not out of ego, but because they need to stay hidden to stay safe. While this can protect them, it can also sabotage intimacy.

❤️‍🔥Scorpio Risings often have some coping mechanisms that aren't truly theirs, they were installed to survive someone else's trauma, usually a family member.

❤️‍🔥Scorpio Risings hold erotic power even when fully covered, celibate or modest. They radiate sexual intensity and raw life-force energy. And a huge lesson for them is to own this magnetism without shame or guilt.

❤️‍🔥Pluto in the 1st house natives feel like they live multiple lifetimes in one body. They just HAVE TO change. It's survival for them.

❤️‍🔥But Pluto in the 1st house often trigger people who aren’t ready for their own depth, they will attract superficial people, at many points in life.

❤️‍🔥People project onto Pluto in the 1st house native, be it desire, fear, envy or intimidation. Others see themselves when they speak to you.

❤️‍🔥Pluto in the 1st house native's face, eyes and energy feel somewhat confrontational to illusions or like you’re silently calling out someone's lies.

❤️‍🔥Pluto in the 1st house natives experience chronic tension in the gut, pelvis, jaw or shoulders.

❤️‍🔥They often feel “watched” or unsafe in public, even if nothing is wrong.

❤️‍🔥Pluto in the 1st house carries beauty or power that feels dangerous or “too much”.

❤️‍🔥Pluto in the 1st house are here to live an authentic life no matter the cost. But this comes at a price, usually through breakdowns, public exposures, betrayals or identity breakdown. They need to become undeniably themselves, not someone liked by everyone.

❤️‍🔥Also, they are meant to embody the power that others repress, so others can see it's possible, they are not meant to blend in.

❤️‍🔥People either obsess over them or avoid them entirely. This also creates extremes in how people respond to you, it's obsession, stalking, over-sharing or possessiveness. Or sudden ghosting, silent avoidance or unexplained tension. The lesson for them is that they don’t owe anyone access to their field. This happens because, they represent power that can't be controlled.

❤️‍🔥Pluto in the 1st house natives are on the path of the transformer. They are here to face what others run from, this can be either shame, death, power, truth on a soul level or desire. They are capable of guiding others through transformation, but only after they’ve done it themselves.

❤️‍🔥With Pluto Ascendant aspect, for these natives birth came with crisis or drama. You may be born prematurely, there may have been an emergency C-section, near death experience for your mother or you, power outage or family trauma.

❤️‍🔥Even from childhood, these natives always sensed when someone is trying to exert power covertly. They didn't always confront it, but their radar detected it. This gives them "old soul" or detective like presence from an early age.

❤️‍🔥They often attract energy vampires who disrespect their boundaries and drain them. But they also attract people who are emotionally intense, controlling, have an addictive personality or people who need a deep transformation themselves.

❤️‍🔥Pluto Ascendant people can adapt their appearance, behavior or vibe to match their environment, not for approval, but as a survival instinct. They can mute their energy or presence so that others overlook them in a room. Again, this goes back to protective mechanism.

❤️‍🔥They transform their body and this can result in sudden weight loss, drastic haircut, surgery or tattoos.

❤️‍🔥People walk away from a brief encounter with them suddenly questioning their beliefs, life direction or identity.

❤️‍🔥Pluto conjunct Ascendant people were "too serious" or "too intense" for their age, so they were never truly a "child". And usually their childhood involved themes of secrecy, abandonment, betrayal or powerlessness that forced to mature quickly.

❤️‍🔥Pluto conjunct Ascendant shined so bright in childhood, that they felt like they need to "dim" their light in order to appear unthreatening. But the irony is, the more they suppress their power, the more it leaks out in weird, disruptive ways (like unexplainable emotional reactions from others). People could accuse you of being secretive, manipulative or calculating, even when you're not doing it. But their trust issues will reveal their own behaviour.

❤️‍🔥Pluto conjunct Ascendant experiences small identity deaths in a way that their ego breaksdown, but some identity traits as well, it's tied to breakup or a physical accident.

❤️‍🔥Pluto sextile/trine Ascendant possesses intensity, but one that is not threatening (like in conjunction). People are not as negatively threatened by you.

❤️‍🔥Pluto trine Ascendant likes to talk about intense topics and is not awkward about it. You can ask these people about sex, death, trauma and they'll open more about it (unlike square or opposition). They also have great acting abilities!

❤️‍🔥Pluto sextile Ascendant doesn't have that persistent magnetism like conjunction, but instead calculated charm! They are really good at navigating different social circles and therefore can give the vibe of a social climber. They are not born like this (like conjunction), but instead they develop consciously magnetism, charm and powerful presence with age.

❤️‍🔥Pluto sextile Ascendant are more drawn to work on their image, they dress to appear powerful, they tone is intentionally curated too.

❤️‍🔥Pluto opposite Ascendant people are attracting manipulative lovers, dominating bosses, jealous friends until they truly learn to claim their own power.

❤️‍🔥Their relationships, even short-term, are never casual and they leave a lasting emotional imprint. They often become who others project onto them. They attract people with traits they deny or surpress in themselves. They may feel overpowered early in life, but become the dominator later on (or vice versa).

❤️‍🔥Pluto square Ascendant people fought hard to define who they are, often against family, inner shame or the society. There is an inner conflict between how they appear and how they feel inside.

❤️‍🔥They have a tendency to self-sabotage, be secretive or manipulative to protect the most vulnerable parts of themselves.

Putting on their Dancing Shoes

x gender neutral reader

Metahuman! Reader who's hiding out in Gotham despite Batman's 'no metahumans rule.' Because when they originally put down roots in Gotham, they weren't a meta nor did that rule exist yet. That and with all the villains in Gotham, rent had become rather cheap. Not the cheapest by any means but when compared to Metropolis or Bludhaven, they didn't exactly have the financial means to move.

So they stayed put, learning how to deal with their new metahuman abilities in secret. Thinking they had been good at keeping it on the down low until they received a knock on the door. Reader, looking through the peephole of their apartment door, hissing under their breath. 'Fuck me.' The man's attire immediately screamed detective, if not cop.

Taking a deep breath, they opened the door. Meeting the man's intimidating gaze. 'Can I help you?' Keeping their tone neutral, not wanting to come across as defensive. 'I'm detective Dick Grayson, with the GCPD. Mind if I asked you some questions?' Dick, while conducting research for a Nightwing sting, found pockets of metahuman activity. Tracking said activity to be near places Reader frequented. All within a 50 mile radius with their house at the epicenter. But unknown to Reader, Dick was recruiting for his team, the Teen Titans.

'Uh, sure. Come on in.' It'd all go well if they just kept their emotions in check. Otherwise, their physical features would shift. More accurately, dripping candle wax that would solidify into different shapes, colors, structures even. It would then be sucked back in the skin. 'I promise to make this quick.' Dick said, pulling a folder out of his bag, rife with papers. 'These are pictures taken from the CCTV cameras down on 4th and main on June 11th.' Putting down 2-3 photos from different angles, showing them with a hoodie.

'Not to assume anything but it seems like you were running away from someone or something. Which is concerning when you factor in how you look to have burn scars on your face and body.' Pointing at the areas of skin that their clothes didn't conceal. 'This was also the same night that the first power outage of the summer happened. But you never called anything in, why?'

'Not reporting something isn't a crime.' Reader shortly responds. 'Am I being charged with something?' Subtly asking if they were being arrested or if they'd end up in the back of his cop car, on the way down to the station without using the word 'arrested.' Taking a deep breath to calm their anxieties. Looking down to see if their arm was still solid. Dick shifted to a softer approach when he noticed this, sitting across from them at the small coffee table. 'Have you ever heard of the hidden figure of crime?'

'The what?'

'The hidden figure of crime or the dark figure. It's the term for the amount of crimes that go unreported. Kinda makes our job difficult. Sometimes it's because the victim experiences intimidation tactics by the perpetrator. Other times, it's because the victim doesn't recognize they've been victimized. Does that sound familiar?' Dick coaxed, using it as a leading question. Even though he technically wasn't supposed to do that. 'No, I don't think that's the case. Me not realizing I'm a victim.'

Pulling out a map with marked locations in orange sharpie. 'Okay. Well, this here is a map showing all known metahuman activity. Does anything about this data look familiar to you?' Recognizing that they weren't responding how he wanted to his questions, Dick turned up the heat. It was at this point that Reader froze, internally screaming that he knew. He must know. If he didn't, it definitely became apparent as their emotions triggered their abilities. Out of control, they now looked more akin to a Picasso. 

'That's uncanny.' Dick's pristinely crafted worksona broke. Unable to continue on with the script he was following. Now assessing if Reader's ability could be of use to the team he was still building. He had to find some way to help. Beyond acting like a benefactor to get them to Central city but that'd equate to abandonment which Dick refused to do. Even if they didn't end up as a member of Teen Titans, he could at least help them figure out how to stabilize their ability. Especially with it being tied to their emotions. 'Come with me.'

Noting their confused look, as the dude literally just spent half an hour making them think he was going to arrest them, clarified. 'I'm not arresting you, this is just my day job. Pack a bag, I'll explain everything in the car.' Pulling open the blinds to show that he hadn't even driven to their apartment in a cop car to begin with. Their face having slowly shifted back to normal.

Title: In Sickness and In Sleuth

Paring: Conrad Hawkins x Reader

Warning: this story contains some adults content mention of blood and murder and strong language. Read it on your discretion

Word Count: ~8,000

Author note: I created a one shot story about two favorite tv shows that I like " The resident" and "Will Trent" . I made a crossover since both shows are implemented in Atlanta, Georgia. You can share and like my work but don't steal it and make it your own. I was inspired by an episode of Will Trent in season 3 .

The storm rolled into Atlanta like a freight train, darkening the sky and flooding the streets. Power outages flickered in various neighborhoods, emergency services stretched thin. But within the halls of Chastain Park Memorial Hospital, the real storm was just beginning.

Special Agent Y/N Hawkins of the GBI stepped through the sliding glass doors of the hospital with her partner Will Trent at her side and APD detective Angela Polaski following close behind. Y/N's dark hair was pulled into a braid, GBI windbreaker zipped high. A quiet intensity radiated from her. As always, she and Will moved in perfect sync, not needing words to communicate. Their minds already raced ahead.

"We need eyes on Lena Santiago," Y/N said, glancing at her phone. "She’s the nurse who reported the incident. She's the key to this whole thing."

Angela frowned. "And now she’s gone off the grid."

Y/N’s gaze hardened. "That’s not a coincidence."

---

Inside Chastain, Dr. Conrad Hawkins was already several patients deep into his shift. He glanced up from a chart just in time to see his wife walk in with Will and Angie, their faces set in stone.

“Hey,” he called softly, walking over. “Storm chasers now?”

Y/N barely cracked a smile. “Just chasing something uglier than lightning.”

She pecked him on the cheek quickly. Conrad's brow furrowed at the tension in her shoulders.

“GBI business?” he asked.

“Something like that,” Will said cryptically, already scanning the area.

Elsewhere in the hospital, Amanda Wagner arrived with Evelyn Mitchell and Ava Barnes in tow. The three retired powerhouses weren’t exactly the trio you’d expect in a murder investigation—but they weren’t the type to sit on the sidelines either.

“Ava,” Amanda muttered, “tell me again why you’re tagging along?”

Ava smirked. “My daughter’s working this case. And Faith’s working it too. Like hell I’m missing the action.”

Evelyn patted Amanda on the shoulder. “Admit it. You missed us.”

Amanda didn’t answer.

---

Just after noon, the storm struck hard, and Chastain initiated lockdown protocol.

Y/N, Will, and Angie were in the elevator heading toward the third floor when it shuddered to a halt.

“Please don’t tell me we’re stuck,” Angie said.

The flickering overhead lights blinked out and came back with a pop.

Then something hit the elevator roof with a sickening thump.

A red, viscous substance began dripping through the seam in the ceiling panel.

“Blood,” Y/N whispered.

Will’s expression didn’t change, but his jaw clenched.

Y/N stepped into action. “Angie, help me up. Will, boost me. I need to see what’s up there."

“You sure?” Angie asked.

“Yes.”

Y/N popped the panel open. The copper tang hit her nostrils instantly.

“Dammit.”

“What is it?” Will called.

Y/N looked down, pale. “It’s Lena.”

The elevator doors opened at that moment, and they sprinted to the nurses' station.

Conrad, Nic, Devon, Faith, Amanda, Ava, Evelyn, Dr. Bell—all gathered.

Y/N, out of breath, looked at her mother. "She’s dead. Lena—the witness. She was on top of the elevator."

Amanda’s eyes narrowed. “Are you telling me—?”

“Yes,” Will and Y/N said at once.

“The killer is here,” Y/N confirmed. “In the hospital. During lockdown.”

Nic clutched Devin’s arm. "What does this mean?"

Will, Y/N, and Angie replied in eerie unison: "We’re trapped with a serial killer."

---

The team split up. Will and Y/N’s group: Ava, Evelyn, Conrad, Devon, Nic, Faith, and Dr. Bell, who insisted he had a right to know what was happening in his hospital. Amanda led the second group with Michael Ormewood and Angie.

Faith pulled Nic aside briefly. “Try not to let them freak you out.”

“Who?”

She nodded toward Will and Y/N, who were already speaking rapidly in shorthand, both sketching timelines, theories, connecting clues.

“Those two,” Faith said. “They move like one brain. It's spooky. Welcome to my life.”

Y/N and Will began to reconstruct the timeline. Conrad watched as his wife moved through the halls like a force of nature, not a trace of hesitation in her movements.

“You’ve never seen her work before?” Faith asked.

“Not like this,” Conrad admitted.

Ava and Evelyn, meanwhile, traded theories with Nic and Devon, almost cheerily.

“I forgot how fun this could be,” Ava said, eyes alight.

---

Hours passed. The group reconvened in the stairwell.

Y/N knelt beside a trail of smudged shoe prints.

“Blood. Fresh,” she murmured.

Will crouched beside her. “There’s something else. Look—”

He plucked a tiny metal pin from the corner where the stairwell met the wall. A brass flag pin.

Faith stepped forward. “Oh no. I know that look.”

“What look?” Conrad asked.

“The look they get right before dropping a bomb.”

Y/N turned to the group slowly.

“That’s a DA’s flag pin. Only worn by state prosecutors.”

Faith took a deep breath. “You’re not saying—?”

Will nodded grimly. “The DA. He’s the killer.”

Gasps rippled through the group.

Ava stepped forward, stunned. “Why would the DA—?”

Y/N answered, grim. “Every woman we traced—each of them rejected him. Lena’s friend—his first victim—turned him down after he gave her the creeps. Lena knew. That’s why she was killed.”

“We’ve been chasing a cold case killer and a predator hiding in plain sight,” Will added.

Faith swore. “We need to move. Now.”

---

They sprinted back to the main lobby. Amanda, Angie, and Michael raised their weapons at the sight of Will and Y/N entering with urgency.

“What is it now?” Amanda asked.

Will and Y/N pointed in unison. “It’s him. The DA. He’s the killer.”

A commotion erupted behind them. Screams.

The DA emerged, blood smeared on his coat, holding nurse Ada Moreno hostage.

Everyone froze.

Amanda’s voice was firm. “Don’t do this.”

The DA laughed. “You think I’d go down over this? I did what needed to be done. They were all ungrateful. Entitled. They owed me.”

Y/N stepped forward, calm and unflinching.

“Let her go,” she said, slowly approaching.

“Don’t come closer!”

“I understand you,” Y/N said gently. “You felt invisible. Rejected. You needed control. But you never had any. You’re afraid.”

“Shut up!”

Will moved silently to flank him while Y/N continued her psychological takedown.

“Every woman who said no to you proved you weren’t powerful. That’s why you had to kill them. But here? Right now? You have no control. Just desperation.”

The DA hesitated.

Y/N saw her chance. A clean shot.

She took it.

The bullet hit his shoulder, spinning him backward. Ada was released, scrambling into Amanda’s arms. Michael cuffed him as backup poured in.

---

The storm passed. Lockdown lifted. Emergency lights powered off.

Devon was practically bouncing. “That was—insane. I feel like I need a cigarette. And I don’t smoke!”

Faith chuckled. “Welcome to murder investigations.”

Bell blinked, stunned. “I run a hospital. This is not in my job description.”

Amanda deadpanned. “You think this was bad? You should’ve seen ‘92.”

---

That night, Y/N stood under the hot stream of the shower, scrubbing blood and adrenaline from her skin. Steam curled around her as she let the chaos of the day wash away.

When she stepped out, Conrad was already in bed, shirtless, watching her with a look somewhere between admiration and disbelief.

“You are…” he began. “Something else.”

She raised an eyebrow. “I scare you a little?”

“A little.”

She crawled into bed beside him, stretching out. “You’ve seen me in scrubs. Today you saw me in predator mode.”

“I kind of loved it.”

“Yeah?”

He leaned over and kissed her shoulder. “Absolutely. But remind me never to lie to you.”

Y/N laughed, curling into him.

“Too late. I already know when you’re lying,” she teased.

He grinned. “Terrifying.”

“Hot?”

“Definitely.”

They dissolved into laughter and kisses, the storm behind them now just another chapter in their unpredictable lives.

But one thing was certain.

There was no safer place to be than in each other’s arms—even when the world outside raged with chaos.

---

END.

Chapter 2: When Red Hood Comes Knocking

Gotham City is no stranger to chaos. But the recent wave of violence sweeping through the city feels different, colder, and more unsettling. It wasn't the usual chaos; this was…different. Instead of the usual flamboyant theatrics of rogue villains, Gotham is witnessing a series of precise, calculated attacks that are leaving both the criminal underworld and innocent civilians reeling. Surgical strikes, executed with cold efficiency. A gun smuggling ring ripped apart at the docks, leaving behind neatly stacked crates of useless components instead of weapons. A drug lab in the Narrows, its entire digital infrastructure wiped clean, production crippled.

However, the precision stops there. A delivery driver caught in the crossfire at the docks, a low-level dealer left bleeding in an alley near the lab. The GCPD, stretched thin and already battling a crippling morale deficit, is struggling to maintain order, let alone unravel the mystery behind these escalating assaults.

"It's like watching a surgeon with a tremor," commented Detective Renee Montoya during her interview at GNN, frustration etched on her face. "They know where to cut and what to target, but their execution is… sloppy.” The news report was unwelcome but necessary background for our investigation.

At moments like these, Batman’s absence is felt more keenly than ever.

Back at the Belfry, the clock tower felt smaller, more claustrophobic than usual.

The Gotham Knights were stretched thin. Dick, Barbara, Tim, and Jason – trying to contain the spreading tendrils of this new kind of chaos. The city's wireless network was stuttering, plagued by glitches and outages, as if some unseen force was playing puppeteer with its digital arteries. Tim and Babs were running diagnostics day and night, but they were chasing ghosts. The disruptions were too sophisticated, too fleeting.

Not even the Watch knows what's going on. Some whisper of a new player entering the game, a shadowy organization with a vendetta against Gotham's underworld. Others suspect a rogue vigilante, someone taking the law into their own hands with a disregard for collateral damage. The lack of a clear motive and the seemingly random selection of targets only fuels the paranoia.

"They're hitting crime where it hurts, but they're leaving bodies in their wake," Dick said, pacing a tight circle in the tower’s central area. "This isn't justice, it's…execution."

Barbara, tethered to her screens, her face illuminated by the swirling data stream and surveillance feeds, sighed. "The intel they're acting on is flawless. They know the exact location of every drug den, every arms dealer, the security protocols, the patrol patterns, everything. Someone's feeding them information from the inside."

Tim, hunched over the Batcomputer, his fingers flying across the keyboard, his brow furrowed in concentration, muttered, "The network interference is…complex. Almost elegant, in a way. It's bypassing firewalls that should be impenetrable. It's like watching a master craftsman at work.”

"Elegant? People are getting hurt, Tim!" Jason snapped, running a hand through his already dishevelled hair. The damn helmet was doing a number on it, and the weight of the situation was pressing down on him. The anger simmered just below the surface, a volatile cocktail of frustration and the ever-present guilt.

Dick stopped pacing, his gaze locking onto Json’s, a flicker of something he couldn’t quite decipher in his usually cheerful blue eyes. "This… this feels familiar, Jason. The ruthlessness, the focus. It reminds me of…your early days."

The words hit Jason like a physical blow. His jaw tightened. "Don't you dare compare me to this, Dick. I learned my lesson. I paid the price. I don't leave innocent people in the dirt. And I sure as hell don't orchestrate executions." The words came out sharper than intended, laced with a defensiveness he couldn't quite control.

Dick visibly winced, the implication of his words stinging him as much as they stung Jason. He held up his hands in a gesture of appeasement. "I didn't mean... I just…" He trailed off, unable to articulate the unspoken past that haunted all of them. The air crackled with unspoken accusations and old sins. Dick hadn't accused Jason outright, but the shadow of his past hung heavy in the air. They were all haunted by ghosts, but Jason’s seemed to have a louder voice than the others.

Thankfully, Tim's voice cut through the tension. "Guys, I think I've got something!” he announced. He spun around in his chair, its wheels squeaking in protest. His eyes were wide with a mixture of excitement and concern. “I've traced some of the network disruptions back to a central source." He leaned forward. "Whoever's doing this is a genius. They're using a layered encryption I've never seen before. I'm losing the trace, though. We need to move, and fast." His voice dropped, brimming with urgency. "This is our only chance.”

"Alright," Dick said, his voice regaining its authority. "Who's going?"

Before he could even finish the question, Jason was already at his gear locker, pulling on my helmet. "I'm on it."

Jason didn’t wait for arguments. He just needed to get out of there, to chase down this lead, to prove to himself that whatever was happening, he wasn't part of it. This was a constant weight on his heart, and he was desperate to shed it.

Jason hit the streets, the roar of his motorcycle a welcome distraction from the voices in his head. Leather creaked against his skin as I leaned into the turns, the wind whipping past his face. He followed the digital breadcrumbs Tim had provided, each trace a faint glimmer in the murky depths of the dark web. The GPS glowed, guiding him through the labyrinthine streets. The encrypted comms used by the perpetrators, the data dumps of intercepted police frequencies – they all funneled back to one place, and Jason could only guess what or who could bring city to its knees in such a short time.

These weren't your garden-variety cyber attacks. This was something… different. Gotham had always been a city of uncertainty and chaos, where fists and bullets spoke louder than lines of code. But now, the very fabric of the city was being unwound, thread by digital thread. Power grids flickered erratically, communication lines were choked with encrypted gibberish, and even the security systems at Arkham Asylum had reportedly experienced a brief, terrifying hiccup.

He tightened his grip on the handlebars, the cold metal a familiar comfort against the rising tide of anger within him.

The GPS beeped, signaling a turn. He leaned into the curve, the bike responding with a satisfying growl. The closer he got to the signal's origin, the more agitated the city seemed to become.

He slammed on the brakes as a phalanx of GCPD cruisers blocked his path near the Gotham Docks. Blue and red lights pulsed, painting the rain in harsh, alternating hues. Officers, clad in riot gear, swarmed the area, their radios crackling with static and panicked voices.

"Hold it right there! Bike off, hands where we can see them!" a burly officer barked, his voice amplified through a megaphone.

Jason let out a low growl. This wasn't good. He considered blasting past them, but that would only escalate things. He powered down the bike, slowly raising his hands.

"Just passing through, Officer," he said, his voice modulator making him sound neutral, almost robotic. "What's the commotion?"

"Don't play dumb with us, vigilante," another officer shouted, leveling his weapon. "We know you're out here. And we're arresting anyone causing trouble tonight."

"Trouble? I'm fighting it," Jason retorted, his hand twitching towards his holster. He knew how this dance went. The GCPD, especially on edge like this, saw him as just another criminal.

Before the situation could escalate, a sleek, black sedan pulled up beside the cruisers. A man in a tailored suit, his face obscured by the shadows of the car, rolled down the window. It was Sal Maroni, one of Gotham's oldest and most ruthless crime lords.

"Officers," Maroni's gravelly voice cut through the night. "What seems to be the problem?"

The lead officer hesitated, clearly uncomfortable interacting with Maroni, but he still answered. "We're apprehending a vigilante, sir. Possible suspect in the recent… disturbances."

Maroni chuckled, a sound that sent a chill down Jason's spine. "Disturbances? Hardly. Seems like someone's finally leveling the playing field. Let him go, Officer. He's under my protection."

Jason raised an eyebrow behind his helmet. His protection? What was Maroni playing at?

The officer, clearly not wanting to cross Maroni, reluctantly nodded. "Alright, sir. But keep him in line."

The cruisers parted, and Jason found himself face-to-face with Maroni's driver.

"Get in," the driver instructed tersely. "The Boss wants a word."

Jason hesitated. Entanglement with Maroni was the last thing he needed. But curiosity, and the unspoken threat hanging in the air, won out. He holstered his weapon, leaving the Batcycle behind, and climbed into the back of the sedan.

As the car pulled away, Jason could hear the officers grumbling behind them. The city, already teetering on the edge, was now a three-way power struggle: the GCPD trying to maintain order, Maroni vying for control of the digital chaos, and him… trying to stop it all. And maybe, just maybe, get a piece of the pie for himself.

"So, Maroni," Jason said, his voice still modulated. "What exactly do you want with me?"

Maroni's silhouette remained unreadable. "The city's bleeding, Red Hood. Bleeding data. And you seem to know where the tourniquet is. Whoever's doing this has power, technology… assets that could be very valuable. I want them. And I believe you can help me find them."

Jason leaned back, a grim smile forming behind his helmet. "What makes you think I'd help you?"

"Because," Maroni said, his voice laced with menace, "Gotham's a city of choices. And you can choose to work with me… or against me. But trust me, Red Hood, you don't want to choose against me."

The car sped deeper into the heart of Gotham, leaving the rain and the flashing lights behind. Jason knew he was walking a very dangerous line. But sometimes, the only way to fight fire was with fire. And in Gotham, fire was Maroni's specialty. The car stopped at the location of Jason’s bike.

“Remember what I said, Hood,” was Maroni’s last words before the car sped away.

Jason's jaw clenched. Maroni wasn’t alone. This wasn't just a turf war; it was a scramble for control of the information, the power, that this digital chaos represented. Every villain with a modicum of tech savvy was hunting for the source.

As he revved his bike once again, he spotted a trio of goons, patched with the tell-tale signs of Freaks gang colors, lurking in an alleyway. They measured each other from a distance, the tension palpable in the air, but to Jason’s surprise, they just walked away. It seems that both of them have bigger fish to fry.

He sped off, leaving the goons in his dust. A couple blocks away, Red Hood roared past a GCPD cruiser, its siren a mournful wail in the distance. The cops were scrambling, their communication radios spitting static and fractured orders. His comm caught snippets: "…power outage Sector C…," "…firewall breach at Wayne Enterprises…," "…attempted data theft from Gotham General…"

This was getting messy. He has to find the source sooner rather than later.

After several minutes of speeding through Gotham, Jason finally found the source: a small, unassuming IT shop tucked away on the edge of Bristol. Neon signs flickered in the window, advertising "Data Recovery" and "Custom PC Builds." He cut the engine, the sudden silence amplifying the pounding in his ears. Jason peers through the shop windows for any sign of movement. A small flicker of light flashes in the back.

Without hesitation, he kicked open the door.

Gimme some modern au headcannons for both vat7k and tts >:3

:O yes

-cass is either a police officer, a private detective, or a really mean fitness coach.

-rapunzel is the daughter of either a mayor or a senator. she got eugene & lance officially pardoned through a LOT of dubious loopholes & taking advantage of her father’s favoritism.

-lance has a youtube cooking channel with a ton of followers. sometimes he’ll sing while he cooks, which eugene was able to persuade him to introduce, and his popularity skyrocketed after that.

-varian is a pro gamer who goes into rage-filled frenzies. you want him on your team. some say he acts like he was a supervillain in his past life. or somethin.

-quirin was in a coma from a fire varian caused, instead of the amber. he pushed varian out of the way of a support beam that was in flames. varian has burn scars and survivor’s guilt that lasts even after his dad recovers. this is also an au where everyone was supportive toward varian & helped him in his grief— because i say so— so he lived with rapunzel until quirin woke up.

-literally everyone who’s friends with varian has caused a city-wide power outage. (so has varian, of course.) with some people, like rapunzel and nuru, it doesn’t feasibly make sense how they did that. but they did. somehow. it’s a rite of passage. it’s a canon event that befalls them all.

-varian found ruddiger in a dumpster. he still adopted him.

-cassandra has a motorcycle. eugene also has a motorcycle, sometimes. it may or may not be cassandra’s motorcycle.

-i do not have any explanation for what gothel’s deal was in this.

-yong makes excellent memes and spams any group chat he’s in.

-varian and eugene met irl, but eventually realized they also knew each other through a flynn rider subreddit.

-angry & catalina play minecraft. lance tried to play with them, but he isn’t good at video games and they slaughtered him repeatedly.

-hugo has a very secret anonymous music account. he’s pretty famous but no one knows who he is.

-several people have tried to wrangle varian into therapy. he’s gone a few times, but simply declares that he didn’t vibe with it.

-rapunzel teaches art classes sometimes. she & eugene met by him sneaking into one while on the run from the law. he kept coming back because he was falling in love with her.

-rapunzel and cassandra met because they got into a motorcycle-and-car collision.

-hugo has tried to run away from donella (who’s the leader of a gang) several times, while keeping his upbringing secret from everyone.

-hugo and varian met while varian was living with rapunzel, who has an awfully similar apartment complex to the one hugo had most recently been squatting in. hugo wandered into what he thought was his own house while varian was home alone. varian panicked and squirted lemon juice directly into hugo’s eyeballs. love at first sight and writhing on the floor commenced.

-nuru went to an all-girls private school and suffered through a horrific closeted lesbian experience.

-nuru met the gang at a karaoke night. yong was also there, somehow unsupervised. all four of them unanimously decided to slay together, and after musically dominating everyone in the room, they became besties.

-hugo, nuru, and rapunzel all paint each other’s nails. yong sometimes joins in even though he’s clumsy with it, but varian doesn’t, because he has sensory issues with most things touching his hands. (hence the gloves.) he emphatically gushes over the others’ end results, though.

-hugo taught himself how to drive. nuru and varian almost had heart attacks when they learned this.

*Sebastian huffed and squeezed his way through an unexpected number of scientists and other employees through Sector E’s halls. Giving quick “excuse me’s” and “pardon me’s” as he kept rubbing shoulders with lab coats.

Theren Schmidt [FNAF 3, Renegade AU]

Published: Feb 2, 2025

https://www.deviantart.com/paigelts05/art/1154465305

Theren has always lived a stones throw away from danger. Her decision to be a security guard at Phoenix Douglas's Fazbear's Fright was rather logical for her.

When Theren was a baby, she was orphaned during one of Fazbear Entertainment's Missing Persons Incidents: one location targeted parents as opposed to children, and both of Theren's parents were among the lost. She wound up growing up in foster care in foster care until she was four, when she was adopted by a young couple: Mike Schmitt and Danielle Peirson.

Her home life was relatively stable, aside from the fact that after Mike started working at Freddy's, he'd frequently come home injured. One week, he didn't come home at all because he got kidnapped, and then not too long after he was saved, he didn't come home again because he'd been rushed to his sister's medical clinic because both of legs had been broken.

After that, things became slightly more stable, even though her parents sometimes vanished for days at a time for the sake of investigations. Sometimes, Mike would go missing, other times it was Danielle. Sometimes she'd have to stay with Fritz or PT as both of her parents would be off investigating some dangerous Faz Ent facilities. This was normal for her, but given that they'd tell her all about it after, she didn't mind.

And then when she was a teenager, Fazbear Entertainment forced her dad to run away for far longer than he'd ever gone missing for before: they sent a bunch of advanced animatronics to try and wipe out the loose ends that posed the largest threat to Faz Ent, and those loose ends happened to be Theren's dad and his friends. Fortunately, a detective named Audrey had phoned Danielle and had come up with a plan. Unfortunately, that plan was for Mike, Krasnyy, Jeremy, and Fritz to all run away.

With Mike, Krasnyy, and Jeremy all being investigators of some denomination, and Fritz knowing way too much as-is, the reason for Audrey only getting those four men to run away was obvious: concentrate the most valuable loose ends in one place to increase the chances of drawing all of the new killer animatronics into one place. Whilst Audrey did only imply her plans, inferring it was second nature to the ex-guards.

Being a teenager, Theren had been told precisely what was going on. Being a teenager, Theren was angry that her dad would be running off again. Being the child of someone who was almost killed by Fazbear Entertainment, she knew that her dad was only running away in order to keep those who had worked at Freddy's location C safe, and to keep those who knew those ex-employees safe.

She knew that her dad was protecting her.

She was so glad that she didn't watch the news the morning after her dad and his friends had left to follow Audrey's killer robot containment plan.

She was so glad that the first she heard of her dad being reported as dead was from her dad telling her as much over a video call that was facilitated by the tiny catgirl robots that PT and Fritz had put together for encrypted communications. He told her the full story: one of the killer robots had boarded the train and killed the conductor (whom was the only other person on board) during a power outage. The animatronic had then attempted to board the train carriage that he was in, and Jeremy had shot the animatronic in order to stun it. That Jeremy had busted open a window and that after escaping from the now stopped train, a Fazbear Entertainment freight train had crashed into the now abandoned passenger train. That the news had reported all five people on the train as dead despite the only body that was found being that of the unfortunate conductor.

Theren had to pretend that her dad was dead.

She wasn't alone in this though.

Everyone back at home would have to keep up the act. Whilst insisting that the presumed dead ex-guards were merely MIA managed to get them so far, having to pretend that her dad had actually hit the point of no return was terrifying.

At least he kept up the voice calls when he could.

Through these, Theren learned about the warehouse incident, as well as the later entrapreneur incident. Whilst Audrey had managed to use a first restaurant and false identity to get the lay of the land, Mike had informed Theren that Audery's second shot almost resulted in the lady detective's own death, as whilst she was able to trap all of the killer robots that Faz Ent had sent after the guards, she'd also collected some scrap animatronics from location Zero along the way. These 'guests of honour' had been what Henry Emily had set up the entrepreneur kit to find and put to the torch, and Audery had only narrowly escaped. Mike also explained how he and the others that Audery had employed had managed to evacuate the restaurant before it could collapse.

With the killer robots gone and her dad able to come home once more, things finally settled down, for real this time, and the frequency of the investigations that took her parents away from home for days at a time decreased. But they never stopped: Faz Ent was always clawing their way back into the world, and her parents and their many allies were always there to curb the effects of whatever murder machines they'd make next.

The next major incidents occurred when Theren was an adult: Fazbear Entertainment was trying to revive its brand via a cover up operation that came in the form of a VR game, code named 'Help Wanted', and as a countermeasure, Phoenix Douglas was attempting to create a 'museum' that would inform the public about the atrocities commited by Faz Ent through the guise of a horror attraction.

After finding out about Phoenix's plan, Theren wanted in. She knew that the plan had two parts: part one was to expose the truth of Fazbear Entertainment to the public, and part two was to reunite people with the ghosts of their loved ones that had been trapped within the walls of Freddy's restaurants. She wanted to do whatever she could to help, and given that Phoenix was already burning the candle at both ends, she insisted on taking the night shift.

Her first night was rather uneventful, but it got her acquainted with the place, and some of the resident spirits that Phoenix had already gathered. She also found that some of the vents that allowed air from outside to enter the establishment seemed to be prone to jamming. Unlike the large vent that she could probably crawl through that let air come from the office to the rest of the building, this was a small vent that was high up on the wall, so reaching it was a pain, bit she did find that the vent could be reopened by resetting the ventilation.

Her second night was when things got interesting. Phoenix had managed to locate Vincent Taylor - whom Theren had last seen in a video call back during the entrapreneur incident - and Vincent was more than happy to help with Phoenix's plan in exchange for the use of cleaning facilities and a negligible fee. Theren was pumped to see her uncle again: at this point, it had been over ten years since she'd seen him in that video call, and whilst he honestly looked worse for wear, that was to be expected when he'd just spent the past few years in Location C's safe room, completely off his own volition (a far cry from what others in his role would do in his position, given that location C was the only Freddy's where the safe room was never actually sealed but merely concealed behind a hidden door).

Vincent had also brought over some other ghosts with him too: a group of ghosts that Phoenix apparently had a hard time seeing. Call it what you will, but Theren was pretty well acclimated to ghosts, so she had no trouble spotting Ryley - who appeared to take the form of a phantom that resembled Foxy - and the others. There was one ghost that Phoenix could see, curiously enough, and he always called them 'Dr Ophelia Harper'; apparently Ophelia had worked with Phoenix's dad back in the 80's, and that was how Phoenix was already familiar with this ghost that appeared to be a phantom form of the Mangle.

The first hour of her shift was great! She was able to talk to the ghosts about their lives, as well as about the renovations to the attraction that Vincent had directed that honestly made the place look way more authentic.

And then Vincent seemed to have a migraine. Theren tried to see what was wrong, and Vincent could only tell her that there was this high-pitched buzzing noise, and that it felt like something was puppeting his body. He insisted that she stayed away - insisted that she kept him away from her and the security office - before fleeing to the opposite end of the horror attraction. The phantoms also seemed to be getting more and more mentally out of it, and their presence seemed to be screwing with the systems, so they fled to the corners of the horror attraction too.

When Phoenix called, he was so happy about his findings. When Theren told him about the migraine that Vincent had just had and how he was acting differently now, she heard Phoenix panic before she heard the sound of something crashing to the ground on the other end of the phone. Had Phoenix just passed out? Probably. Was she going to have to survive her uncle and friends who were likely being mind controlled? Yes.

The night was rough, and she had several close calls, but she was always able to use audio lures and was able to keep the correct vents sealed to keep Vincent from getting to the office.

When the morning came, Vincent was incredibly apologetic: as he'd managed to claw some control back, he figured that he should have done more to fight it. Theren let him know that what he did - which was 'just' making sure that the entity puppeting his body couldn't move as fast as it wanted to - was more than enough. She told him that he knew that if it was able to keep taking over, it'd probably become harder to beat, so him being able to just keep the entity slowed was a huge help, as it helped her devise strategies that she'd be able to learn and employ if or when the entity took control again.

When Phoenix showed up, Theren briefed him on what happened that night, and the trio (plus the phantoms) begun to try and find the source of the buzzing noise that caused Vincent to be forced into the back seat of the robot he possessed.

The search came up empty.

Even though the search came up empty, nobody gave up. Each night, Theren would survive the entity that was puppeting Vincent's body, and each day, they'd search for the source of the buzzing sound that seemed to facilitate this control.

However, on her sixth night, as the minutes ticked closer and closer to six, she smelled the tell-tale stench of petrol. The stench had come out of nowhere, and when she looked at the external vent, she saw a puddle below it.

Both of her options went against her better judgement: stay in the office and risk someone outside setting the building on fire with her at ground zero, or chance whatever was controlling Vincent in hopes of getting to one of the two doors that lead out of the building.

She smelled smoke before she could move, and the fire spread faster than she could run. The last things she could recall about that night was the fire causing the rafters to come down, one of them hitting her square in the back and knocking her down, then something picking her up and carrying her out of the burning building.

She only woke up later that evening, long after the morning news had reported the fire as a likely electrical fault. But Theren knew that it was arson.

Whilst Phoenix was going through with the auction plan as a front in order to reunite ghosts with their families, Theren was under the care of her auntie, Dr May Schmidt. Theren's injuries were primarily localised to where the burning rafter hit her in the back, with only a few minor injuries elsewhere, so whilst her recovery would be far from quick, Theren just felt lucky that the damage was so minor compared to what it could have been.

After she got out of hospital, she'd found that Phoenix had made plans to open up a more formal memorial museum in order to expose the truths behind Fazbear Entertainment.

With this formal museum being way more up to code with better defences against arson, Theren took the job of security guard again. After all, she liked talking to all the wayward souls that had found their way out of Freddy's on the backs of the artefacts that Phoenix salvaged, and even with all of the ghosts that Phoenix had found so far being reunited with their folks, there always seemed to be more ghosts.

museums and coffee and cats for the wip asks?

So my modern AU that I really went all in on for Davrin Week was birthed initially as a Rookanis brain worm I couldn't shake from my head. Wherein Lucanis breaks from whatever family business/expectation he's been nudged toward. At the time I didn't know what it was going to be, but I think Lucanis was on a pre-med track and dropped out to open a coffee roastery after seeking counseling during his undergrad. Spoiler: most of the family still dies tragically.

Spite is a bit fluffy chatty black cat, who frequently escapes to terrorize the apartment building Illario purchased the penthouse in and dumped on Lucanis, and my Rook Laidir, Ella, is a museum curator in limbo for a promotion to museum director and has a big fluffy cat who keeps finding a big fluffy cat demanding entry to her apartment.

Really the only solid thing I have written centers around this power outage in their building but I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to this and many ideas that haven't taken flight yet.

“Behave,” he warns the grumbling cat dangling from his arm. “We're going to see Ella, so don't try running off.” Spite meows. “No, if you run, you get no treats.” Lucanis knows that's a lie, but he isn't sure that Spite can detect that deception. Holding the wine bottle between his forefinger and thumb, he twists the door open with the rest of his hand. The knob's lock is easy to slide to the locked position between his knuckles. Spite lets out a soft mew. “She will be very disappointed if you don't show up for pie.”

Much like she insists, there are emergency lights in the corners of not only the stairwells but in the halls. Spite grows slack against his arm, though his tail never stops flicking back and forth. “Good, I also don't want to disappoint her.” Another sharp meow comes Lucanis's way. “Again. I don't want to disappoint her again.”

The stairs are quiet save for the buzzing of the lights. He pads along the metal steps as quietly as he can to not disturb the silence that only he and Spite are they to appreciate. Spite coos. “I know,” Lucanis sighs as they bound past the door that leads to the ninth floor and head down towards the eighth. “You have been very well behaved.” It's true. The cat hasn't escaped once in the previous weeks. Maybe he should have. Neither one of them would complain about spending some extra time with their favorite seventh floor occupant. “And you see, I told her, and now, you have a treat waiting for you.”
