The day was finally there. It was finally happening. Phase two of the best prank the Wayne Family and friends had ever pulled off was finally coming to its peak! If all went well, then they'd only have one more thing to do.
As long as the heroes approached them about it. They'd all placed bets on whether they'd actually get away with trying to pull one over on the Justice League or not. It was pretty evenly split.
It's the morning of and there are exactly ten hours before Wayne Manor is consumed with fast paced staff and last minute everythings. Eleven hours before the guests begin to arrive.
06:00
It was an early day for everyone, but Gala Days are always like that. Patrol had been cut short for Damian, Tim, Steph, and Cass, so they, along with Duke, were the only ones who were working on longer than four hours of sleep.
It wasn't all that bad, though. They're vigilantes. If they were thrown off kilter for getting less than a few hours of sleep, then they'd've been exposed before Jason stole the wheels off the Batmobile.
Either way, Alfred had everyone up for a nice, but simple, breakfast before they got on with their days.
He'd made eggs, sausage, bacon, beans, toast, fried tomatoes, and mushrooms, though Damian and Steph were given coconut bacon, eggplant, and applesauce instead of bacon, sausage, and egg. Everyone got their preferred drink of coffee, orange juice, or milk.
Out of everyone, aside from Alfred, Duke was the most awake, but that was because he had to go on patrol soon. Damian would join him about midday, just after lunch.
Duke was relieved to be out all day. He didn't want anything to do with all the last minute preparations that would be going on, no thank you, sir. It would all be worth it in the end, but he'd rather not be stressed to the heavens while trying to prank some of the best heroes in the world.
Why did Bruce think this was a good idea?
Why did they all go along with it?
Oh, that's right, it's because they're all crazy.
It's gonna be so much fun, though, so he's not complaining too much. Everyone can be stressed out here in the Manor, but he's going to be stressed about other things on patrol.
07:00
After breakfast was cleaned up and Duke had left for patrol, the rest of the Wayne Family set about reviewing everything they'd done to prepare, including going over exactly what their hired security had been doing since they were asked to work the event.
This fell to Barbra. Which is total bullshit because she has a dayjob and she doesn't live in Wayne Manor. And, no matter how much Bruce insists, she's not his child, so she shouldn't have to be stressed over this like they are!
She hadn't spent the night at the Manor, but Dick was keeping her updated on what was going on at the Manor. She kinda wishes she'd gotten some of Alfred's food before going to work, but a bowl of cereal and some toast was better than nothing.
She hated early morning shifts, but she'd had to take this one because of the gala that night.
The things she does for her boys. (Yes, she's including the girls in that statement. It's a term of endearment.)
It was a slow morning, like every morning at the library, so Barbra was doing the painstaking task of going over every single move thirty people had made in the last two weeks.
Was it necessary? No. Was she doing it anyway? Yes, but only because Bruce is a paranoid bastard. And, in Gotham, that's normally justified. Especially since they were hosting high-profile guests who aren't allowed to spend any amount of time in Gotham at all.
This was fun as hell, but this particular precaution was so redundant.
Babs wants a pay raise.
She doesn't get paid for this.
would you look at that, the first two people are still clean. Twenty-eight more to go.
"Dad's probably having much more fun at the station." She snorts softly. "Yeah, right."
08:00
Kate, Selina, and Luke were on Arkham duty. No one ever goes out of their way like this, but knowingly having so many powered individuals in Gotham at the same time was a risk that they were putting extra precautions in place to account for.
Arkham Asylum is a revolving door on the best days and they were due for another breakout soon. Everyone could feel it.
Batman doesn't like metahumans operating in Gotham because of the sheer amount of chemical warfare and child endangerment. A normal civilian that's been hit with Fear Gas or Joker Toxin is a pain to subdue and cure. A Bat is even worse, and most of them don't have superpowers. A meta getting doused with either of those would be disastrous.
The Justice League may not know the reasoning, but they respect it. This means, however, that none of them know how to deal with anything that happens in Gotham.
They're not patrolling the city. They'll leave that up to Signal and Robin, whenever he joins him. Batwoman, Bat Wing, and Catwoman are stationed around Arkham Island itself. Batwoman is watching Arkham East, Bat Wing at Arkham West, and Catwoman at Arkham North. Under strict instructions to not engage in the event of a breakout, they're there purely to watch. If there is a breakout, then they're to down the bridge and call the rest of the family to help deal with it. From there, it's just normal procedure.
Why Bruce doesn't have surveillance on the island already is anyone guess.
"We've only just gotten here," Batwoman said into her comm, "But I'm already over this."
"Don't jinx it, man," Bat Wing sighed, "I'd rather have a boring day today."
Catwoman tsked at them. "It'd be exciting, though, having to deal with a breakout and a gala at the same time."
"I guess," Batwoman agreed, "But with so many heroes coming to the city? That sounds like a horrible time."
"Where's your sense of whimsy, Katey-cat?" there was a teasing smile in her voice.
"Dead with my aunt and uncle."
Bat Wing couldn't stop his laugh. "Ha! Don't let B hear you talk like that."
"I can talk however I want to. B cope by putting on a bat suit and fighting crime, I cope by making jokes."
"Batwoman?"
"Yeah, Cat?"
"You're wearing a bat suit and fighting crime."
A moment of silence passed between the three.
"Shut up."
10:00
Tim's job was monitor duty. He was charged with watching every entrance to the city, making sure he knew the exact moment the heroes and their families arrived.
Monitor duty's always boring. How does Barbra do it? She deserves a pay raise.
She doesn't get paid. None of them do...
Hm.
Tim knows why it's important to know exactly when their superpowered guests arrive. He also knows why it's important to know exactly where they all are while they're in the city. But, c'mon. Why does he have to be here all day? If they timed it right, then no one should be entering the city until-
Oliver. And Dinah and Roy and Lian.
What the hell are they doing here so early? Even on a private jet, it's a seven hour flight! They shouldn't be there until two at the earliest!
Unless they boarded at two in the morning.
Who in their right mind would put a toddler on a plane for a redeye flight?
Rephrasing: Why would someone as rich as Oliver think it would be a good idea to take a red eye to the Crime Capital of the country?
Did they- were they here so early to sight see?
He shakes his head as he picks up his phone and calls Jason. "Head's up, man, The Queens just landed at the airport."
"Got it." Jason hung up. Asshole.
Tim sent the same message to the group chat they'd made for this purpose. Oliver, Dinah, Roy, and Lian were now in Gotham City. If Jason does his job right, then they'll have a tracker placed on them soon. If not, then Tim'll have to follow them the hard way.
He switched to a different monitor, keeping one on the Queen Family. If he's right, then the only groups not arriving by plane will be the Supers and the Wonders, so he'll have to watch the train stations and bridges, too.
12:00
Alfred called everyone to lunch the moment the clock turned over the hour. Nothing had gone wrong so far and it was putting everyone on edge.
A pessimistic view, but that's how they were all raised. Well, most of them were raised that way.
Despite waiting anxiously for the other shoe to drop, everyone was having a grand time. Phase Two of their prank wasn't nearly as fun as Phase One, but they were still excited to go through with it. After all, if they pull this off, they'll have more leverage over the heroes, and that's just too good too pass up.
Bruce called attention by clearing his throat. "Our original plan was to see if the Justice League would be able to sniff us out tonight without us having to say anything. I'd like to alter that course a little bit."
Now he had everyone's undivided attention.
"As you know, I've asked Oliver to give a speech tonight. Afterwards, as everyone's clearing out, I want to tell him directly."
"But what about Clark and Diana?" Steph asked, "You've known them the longest, so shouldn't they be the first to know?"
Bruce nodded. "Yes, but I don't have an excuse to pull either of them aside without it looking suspicious."
"Why tell anyone at all?" Jason said, "If they can't figure it out on their own, why should they get to know at all?"
"I was going to tell them anyway," Bruce admitted, "I just thought that you all would like to have some fun with it before then. After all, it wouldn't be just my name they're learning, but all of yours."
"So, everyone would know?" Dick wondered. It'd be a relief on his end, especially because he'd spent weeks convincing the others to let him tell his best friend.
Bruce nodded. "All of the Justice League would. All of the other teams will probably find out through word-of-mouth, so once the JL knows, then every hero will know."
"That's a huge risk, B-man," Tim stated, "Are you sure it's the right decision?"
Jason scoffed. "We're asking questions now? We knew the risks when we started this whole thing. I say we see it through to the end, but you all tell your teams at the same time."
"You only say that because you'd be completely safe from the risk." Steph jabbed lightly.
He smirked at her. "Exactly."
"So, you'll tell Queen tonight before he leaves. At the next meeting, you tell your team while we tell ours?" Damian surmised.
"Exactly, chum."
"Yeah, but why Oliver? Why now?" Dick asked again.
Bruce looked sheepish. "Because I trust them." It was hard for him to admit, but this was probably long overdue. "I trust them with my safety, and I trust them with yours." Then, he smirked, "Plus, no one will believe Oliver if he tries to tell anyone."
The table started laughing together, the mood brightened.
Cass tapped the table after a few minutes. "Good idea," she said, signing as she spoke, "They'll hurt, but be glad you told."
Tim sighed. "I guess I gotta set up a meeting with the Titans, huh?" He pulled out the phone he uses exclusively for Red Robin. Then, he paused. "I don't think I want to tell them all. I'll obviously tell my team, but that's already going to be a huge amount of people who know."
"I'm inclined to agree." Damian added, "Though I'm not worried about so many heroes knowing, it is concerning to have that many variables holding our secret."
Steph agreed, "I don't work much with the other heroes, so I'll be pretty safe, but that is a lot of potential betrayals."
"Don't say it like that!" Dick gasped, "He's opening up!"
"No, no," Bruce waved, "She's right. It's a risk I'm willing to take by telling my closest friends, but I won't if you al don't feel comfortable with it."
"Well, then that makes this whole thing a moot point, doesn't it?" Tim said. He had yet to put is RR phone away, but he hadn't even turned it on either.
"I think we should tell them," Dick said, "Just our closest friends."
"Easy for you to say, Richard, West already knows who we all are."
"All the more reason to tell the Justice League! Even if we only tell the people who we invited tonight, then that's fine. It's still a huge show of trust on our end."
"He's right," Cass said, "They trust us, we trust them. Time to show them."
"Am I telling my team, or not?" Tim groaned.
"I will be telling Jon." Damian decided.
Bruce nodded. "I'll tell my team."
"I'll tell mine." Tim agreed.
Dick rubbed the back of is head, "Well, Wally already knows, but I think Raven isn't mad at me anymore."
Right, because this was actually a huge point of contention between Dick and his team.
"Anyone I'd tell already know, so, I'm good."
Bruce sighed. "I'm not even going to ask."
"Good, 'cause I won't answer."'
"Wonderful that you've all come to a decision," Alfred said as he finished clearing the dishes and food, "But I believe Master Duke is waiting on you, Master Damian."
"Right." He pushed himself away from the table, tucking the chair behind him. "I will see you all tonight."
13:00
Unlike everyone else, Jason wasn't in costume or stuck at the manor. Or at work. He was on ground duty.
Before lunch, he'd managed to slip a tracker onto Lian and Roy, not without Roy texting him to ask what the fuck was up. He said that he needed to get one onto Oliver or Dinah so that Batman knew where they were while in the city.
"That's fucked, man." Roy had sent back, though Lian's tracker was moved to Oliver.
"Not my decision," Jason had sent back, "But it's a safety precaution, so stay together."
After the discussion at lunch, the topic of which they should've hashed out at the very beginning of all of this, he'd been set back to follow unsuspecting heroes.
Which is a lot harder than you'd think, but still pretty easy for him.
It helps that Roy knows he's following them for safety reasons.
Though, another message came from Tim stating that both the Speedsters and the Wonders had entered Gotham. Sure, easy. Except the Speedsters had taken a plane while the Wonders had taken a car.
Fun.
While Tim's tracking Diana's car, Jason gets to put trackers on Iris and Bart. Dick, supposedly, has told Wally to look for Jason but not acknowledge him, as well as the fact that the trackers are a safety measure.
Apparently, Wally's on board wo help where he can. Good. That means that Jason can quietly hand off the trackers and Wally can deal with the rest.
At least, that's how it was supposed to go.
Jason was not warned that Wally holds the same energy as Dick.
"Jason!" Wally's smile was huge when he called out to him, running over to greet him, leaving his confused family a few yards behind. "Dick said you'd meet us here! It's been a while; How's it going?"
First off, Jason has never met Wally, though he supposes it's a good cover story. Second, why the hell does Wally know his name and face? He's going to kill Dick.
He popped a smirk. "Nice to see you, too, Wally. Dick's sorry he couldn't be here to meet you guys, but he's held up with some work at the moment."
Wally waved him off while Barry, Iris, and Bart joined them. "Meh, I'll harass him about it later. In the meantime, can you show us where our hotel is? We would take a taxi, but Dickie warned me about driving in Gotham when he heard we were coming."
Hotel? Makes sense, though it's inconvenient. "Dick's mixing up Bludhaven drivers with Gotham drivers." He shook his head. "Though, be healthily cautious of everything in Gotham while you're here. You're staying long?"
The group fell into step, though Wally was still the only one talking to him. "Only the night, then we gotta go back to Central City tomorrow."
He whistled. "Central? You're a long way from home."
"Yeah, but it's gonna be totally worth it. You know the Wayne Gala going on tonight?"
"There's a Wayne Gala tonight?"
Bart took this moment to chime in. "You mean you don't know about it? It's gonna be so cool! We got a special invite!"
"Is that so? I can't say I knew about any Galas going on tonight, though that shouldn't surprise ya. I don't really have time to worry about the upper class."
"Oh?" Iris asked, "Why's that?"
"I work in Crime Alley," The name made Barry shift slightly. "so my focus is on the lower classes and how to get kids off the street."
"Crime Alley?" Barry confirmed, "Isn't that where Red Hood is set up."
"You've done your research."
"Gotham's got a reputation."
Iris smacked his arm, but Jason just chuckled. "That she does."
Bart lasted no longer than five minutes of quiet walking before asking, "What can you tell us about Batman?"
"Not much," he answered, "He's basically a ghost. The only people that ever seen him are criminals and Commissioner Gordon."
"What about the other heroes?"
"'Heroes'? Gotham ain't got no heroes. She had knights, sure, but no heroes."
"But, what about Batman and Robin and Nightwing?"
"'Vigilante' would be a better word to describe them. Besides, Nightwing doesn't work in Gotham, he's out in Bludhaven."
"Oh."
The group stopped in front of a hotel, one of the cheaper ones near the airport. Jason held his hand out to the group. "It was nice meeting you guys. I guess I'll be seeing ya tonight?"
Barry shook his hand, then Iris, Bart, and Wally.
"I thought you didn't know about the Gala." Wally gasped dramatically, "Were you lying? To a child?"
Jason scoffed and shoved Wally's shoulder. "You're older than me. And, yes, I did. Not many people know about it outside of rumors, but I'll be there with the security team."
"I thought you were too busy to worry about the one percent?"
"I gotta have money to help out the kids in the Alley." A lie, but they don't need to know that. "Anyway, I gotta go. It was nice meeting you guys."
Bart waved enthusiastically at him. "By, mister!"
He called Tim as soon as he had turned the corner, getting Diana's location. He had a tracker for Cassie and one for Donna.
14:00
Patrol during the daytime was boring, but it presented its own challenges. However, none were so inconvenient as to drop him right in front of not only all four Earth-based Green Lanterns, but also the Atlantean Royal Family.
Honestly, them being in the same place at the same time felt like a joke of some sort. If it is, it's not very funny.
There was a robbery happening in the Narrows at a bodega that Signal likes to go to while on long patrols. It was pure chance that they were stopping by mere moments the robbers entered the building.
Scott, Stewart, Gardener, and Jordan all looked ready to step in from one side of store. The Curry family and Hyde also looked ready to jump in from the opposite side of the store. Their reactions were amusing compared to native Gothamites.
The bell on top of the door chimed again as the door closed behind Signal and Robin.
"You gonna put that gun down, or am I gonna have to take it from ya?" Signal asked, a hand on his hip. Robin said nothing, though he did place his own hand on the sword at his side.
The two robbers both hesitated before putting their weapons down.
Signal smiled. "Good." He turned to Robin. "I'll take these two to the station. Will you pick up our food?" Robin nodded. "Great. My usual, old man?" The older gentleman behind the counter smiled and started to make the food.
With their wrists zip-tied behind their backs, the two robbers were escorted outside and into an alleyway down the street. Signal would place a call to the cops and meet Robin across the street.
Robin waited silently for his and Signals food to be done, very aware of the eight visiting heroes watching him.
The old man finished Signal's sandwich, moving on to make Robins. The Green Lanterns and the Atlanteans were still watching his every move.
"There's been no moves from Arkham," the old man said as he handed Robin the food, "Anything to worry about?"
Robin shook his head. "No. As always, there will be a notice sent out if anything happens on the island."
"I don't know why they don't just destroy the bridge and call it a done deal."
"Resources still need to reach Arkham Island."
"Bah! Let 'em die on that island. If Batman ain't gonna take care of 'em, let 'em take care of themselves."
Robin bristled as he took the food. "I shall inform Batman of your opinions on the matter. However, he is working on a way to rehabilitate the inhabitants of Arkham Asylum."
"There ain't no saving most of 'em."
"Then let us work to save the ones that can be saved." He left after that, having no intentions of continuing a pointless conversation.
He could still feel eight pairs of eyes on him as he left, though they couldn't follow him to the rooftops.
Tt.
16:00
Dick, Steph, and Cass were in the Manor, helping Alfred by keeping Bruce out of the kitchen. The waitstaff, chefs, and security that they'd hired for the night were due to arrive very soon and having Bruce out of the way was best for everyone.
Saying that all three were keeping him occupied was a stretch. Cass and Steph were keeping Bruce confined to the Family Wing of the Manor while Dick handled everything else with Alfred.
When the hired help arrived, Alfred had been confined to the Manor to keep an eye on them while they cooked and got set up. That left Dick to pick up the suits from the tailors and pick up the three bloggers that had been hired to cover the press.
The suits were in the Diamond District at their usual tailor, so there was no hassle in picking them up outside of the stares he got when going in and leaving the store. Nothing he wasn't used to, though.
He was meeting the three press at the train station and taking them to Wayne Manor. Alfred was going to do it, but Jason was wandering Gotham and no one else is allowed in the kitchen.
However, there's a small problem with meeting three members of the press at the train station.
"The Kent Family just got off their train." Tim had sent to the group chat, "They're with the bloggers Buce hired."
Damn it. Is this payback for siccing Wally on Jason?
Dick threw on his Press Smile and walked into the train station. He spotted Clark first, Connor second, then the three press, and Lois and Jon.
The page four reporter from the Daily Planet was locked in conversation with Clark and Lois, though the other two were looking around nervously. He walked right up to the group.
"Mister Kent," he greeted, the group's attention falling to him, "Misses Lane. It's good to see you again."
"Mister Grayson," Lois smiled at him, "I don't suppose you're here to take us to Wayne Manor?"
He sighed exaggeratedly. "No, not this time I'm afraid. However," he turned his attention to the three who weren't family, "I am here to take you three to the Manor."
The Tumblr blogger Bruce had picked out held out their hand to shake. "It's nice to meet you, Mister Grayson, sir."
The one from Reddit also shook his hand, a smile taking over her face. The reporter from the Daily Planet looked like he was itching to take a picture or a statement.
"Please, call me Dick," he smiled, "That goes for you, too, Mister Kent, Misses Lane."
"Call me Clark, then," he said. "This is Connor, my little brother, and Jon, my son."
"Nice to meet you two. However, we must get back to the Manor. I'll see you all tonight?"
"Of course." Lois said pleasantly.
17:00
Everything was set just in time for the Manor gates to open and guests to arrive. Commissioner Gordon was over security, though he'd be inside the ballroom itself.
Everyone had returned to the Manor thirty minutes ago, all getting themselves ready before going to greet their guests at the entrance they'd be using.
Tim was still tracking all of the heroes and their families, relaying their locations until they crossed the property lines.
Jason, Kate, Luke, Steph, Selina, and Barbra were arriving separately and in the middle of everyone else. Selina, Jason, and Barbra would come together; so would Kate, Luke, and Steph.
Slowly and steadily, the ballroom filled with the invited guests.
18:00
The waitstaff moved quickly and professionally, making sure every single person had the meal that had been prepared for them. They were all labeled meticulously with the name of the person and table they were going to, a picture accompanying. No cross contamination in the food, and every dietary restriction - that the Waynes will not be explaining their knowledge of - was placed with the correct person.
As soon as every plate had been settled, dinner officially began.

the most beautofuil void-eyed woman, the black-hearted beauty marlowe hollow for your drakona-ripping-off-- i mean INSPIRED by ask game. and also the firebrand because Lmao
Marlowe:
Just like an abandoned church or a cave of mysterious origin that had not been there a few days prior, one did not enter the parlor of Madame Hēi without taking certain precautions first. Foxfire candles and spare bullets would not save me, however; this operation required a tasteful suit, a dash of perfume and an appropriate gift. On all those things, I knew, I would be judged harshly.
The lady of the house regarded me calmly. Her lips, beautifully painted, offered me a smile, yet in her eyes resided the coldness of the Roof.
Gathering all my scant studies could offer me, I made an introduction in — I hoped — passable Mandarin. The Madame responded in turn, and, while I understood the first half of her response to be favorable, the second, which sounded like a question, eluded me entirely. Shamefully, I retreated to English and admitted my ignorance.
"Then you would do well, Detective, to not flaunt a beautiful language like a virgin with his pants down," the Madame responded calmly. "What do I care that you have it, if you haven't the slightest idea what to do with it?"
The vulgarity was a test; one I indended to pass. I offered a thin smile; not wide enough to be sycophantic, but enough to show my appreciation of the Madame's wit.
"I beg your pardon. Much like the proverbial virgin, I am all too eager to please."
My retort earned me a slight raise of her perfectly manicured eyebrow and a slight curve in her smile. This, I would learn later, meant that I had amused her.
"My, my; it has been a while since I've had such an earnest admirer. You will want to note that I am quite fond of rubies, and prefer gold to rostygold."
I promised that I would remember it, and expressed my hope that the humble gift I brought would suffice for now.
the Firebrand:
There he was, on the corner; the man which had become my shadow. Never did he approach close enough that I could see his face in detail, often hiding behind a raised collar or the brim of a hat; but he had chosen a skilled partner in this dance of stealth and observation. In brief glimpses, I'd been able to paint a half decent portrait of him in my mind.
He stood taller than me, but not freakishly so; his build not too large nor too slight. He moved with a tense sort of grace that to me suggested both expertise and anxiety. His hair was dark and cut slightly longer than the average gentleman would prefer; he dressed in blacks and dark greys, becoming a pale face wrapped in shadow.
On one occasion, I caught a glimpse of his eyes in my pocket mirror. They were the color of embers dying in the fireplace on a stormy night.
I decided then that I would nickname my new dance partner the Firehawk — for he certainly watched me like one, and I could feel his gaze like a burning brand between my shoulders, marking me for a fate I did not yet know.
#this was stupidly fun.#the detective brought NotMarlowe a box of green tea from the surface btw.#line that didn't make it into the scene: Madame Hēi's parlor is known in Society as 'the lair of the sorrow-spider'#and when she mentions that the pov detective is like oh because everyone who comes here is blinded by your beauty madame ;)#fallen london#herearedragons writing#oc: drakona#firedrake tag#drakona rpf

so. sherlock and co has already been adapting stories from after sherlock returns from the dead, in the timeline of publication of original stories. which makes me realize the possibility that the show might END somewhere around the final problem (or they will do some sort of seasonal divide, perhaps).
but my goodness imagine getting through all other 60 or so (depending on what, exactly, they decide to go into) stories, at least over 100 episodes at that point, and realizing the final problem is all that's left to adapt. I don't have many thoughts about this podcast, beyond casually enjoying it as a longtime fan of the original Holmes and Watson stories, but DAMN it would hit me hard if they had some sort of ending with Holmes' death.
I would actually be really into the show seeming completely done with the final problem and then, perhaps a few months or a year later, getting some sort of epilogue or resolution focusing on Holmes' return. I don't exactly think this will happen, but damn am I curious about if, when, and how they will adapt Sherlock's death.
on another note, I also am deeply curious about how their moriarty will turn out, but that is neither here nor there

Here's an idea:
a swap AU, except
Kim is still the put together detective (even if he's an amnesiac who barely recalls what being a detective *is*) who focuses on the case and does everything by a checklist (he has that checklist written down, as well as everything else important)
and Harry, despite (or more likely, because of) remembeing his past, is still a drunken, suicidal mess of a human being who wrecks his car, terrorises local populace, and needs Kim's directions to even start solving the murder.
#Kim: “I don't know who I am and where we are but we must solve the case detective.”#i feel like doing anything else for swap au changes these characters so much that they become close to unrecognizable#only their most surface features remain but not the essence of their being and their suffering#punk!kim looks cool tho#disco elysium#harry du bois#kim kitsuragi#swap au

Edwin lovingly chastising Niko for sitting on the roof ledge by saying "you don't want to catch your death."
The same episode in which she literally catches her death by stepping in front of Crystal.
And she just sweetly responds "I won't."

curious question for all my payneland lovers: how do you want Charles' love awakening to go about?
in a way, there isn't anything (ex. homophobia, a current partner, etc) stopping him from falling for Edwin (that we know of) so what would it take for Charles to suddenly realize he has feelings for Edwin that makes more sense than Edwin's confession being the trigger?
#if u think that edwins confession IS the trigger and that charles is just repressing things rn pls also elaborate on that#i myself am also toying w the idea of charles has had feelings this whole time (that he's aware of) but has been holding back bc of…smth id#omg omg just now writing this#what if charles has feelings but bc of his childhood trauma doesnt rlly believe edwin reciprocates them#what if what if he was like “ofc he's telling me he loves me now when we're both about to cease to exist”#orpheus eurydice on period#bc like if charles is orpheus#charles' devotion is stronger than his love for edwin (rn)#and he would rather they both reach the surface#than him to declare his love (“look back”) and lose him forever#idk if this makes sense#it's late#i will need to elaborate on this more when im awake#but i think im on to something here idc idc#payneland#dead boy detectives agency#dead boy detectives spoilers#dead boy detectives#dead boy detective agency#dead boy detective netflix#edwin payne#charles rowland#edwin x charles

look some people always go back to writing sweet little coffee shop aus, some people fall back on whump and hurt/(no)comfort, and some people create the kinkiest one-shots god has ever seen. but me? when i'm trying to get back into writing? i go "yeah man what would it be like if we were all a little more animalistic and had an instinctual desire for tight-knit communities that even the most gruesome backstory trauma couldn't overwrite?"
#as a found family lover and a “soulmates are something you earn” believer - omegaverse is a gold mine for me#it's just so easy for me to write i don't have to think or plan anything bc all the themes are right there on the surface and i can just#traumatize the mc and have everyone around them slowly pick up the pieces like they're the most important person in the world#and where they can't hide their feelings bc everyone is equipped with natural Mood Detection#and surely that says nothing about me at all. don't look into that#all that said i don't post a lot of it. by which i mean i've only posted one omegaverse fic ever. not bc im ashamed of them but simply bc#i usually don't finish them. they get me out of writing ruts and that's all i need. they're fun to think about but not always#the most engaging long-form stories to me. so i usually write whatever scenes are on my mind and then drop them when i'm satisfied#anyway. i'm writing again and that's all that matters. will this fic ever seen the light of day probably not#it will likely join my graveyard of dropped a/b/o fics that i reread from time to time

I have so many thoughts about a massive fallen London + the great ace attorney crossover fanfiction that I will never write and quite possibly would exist for 3 people max. But it compels.
#zeeposting#for the record . schlomes and the honey addled detective are two different characters#either they’re two seperate men#or tgaa schlomes is a Parabolan construct made up from the public perception of the great detective in his hay day#as this chaotic unreal whirlwind#that escaped Parabolan and has been living on the surface thru iris’s red science work#I told you I’d put thought into this

the joy and whimsy that comes with having a good hyperfixation is absolutely priceless, but it does get annoying sometimes, i can't even lie
#like picture me sitting at a pizzeria catching up with old friends#and actively struggling to tune into the conversation because it's not about my fucking gay ghost detective show#that was literally me on wednesday#when it comes to building relationships having an intense hyperfixation can either be the best thing in the world#or the biggest nightmare#cause now i have this wonderful fandom of likeminded individuals who enjoy this one thing just as much as i do#but then on the other hand when i'm like#out and about in the world#it's hard now to build connections that are more than just surface level small talk relationships cause theyre not about my hyperfixation 😭#thank god all of my friends like dead boy detectives#the fact that “charles rowland” was the very first suggested tag for this post speaks for itself#because if i met someone who talked as much as i do about this show and i didn't like the show i think i would lose my mind#at one point this year i did genuinely struggle to focus on anything that wasn't about dead boy detectives#this is one of those posts that doesn't make much sense without the tags but i refuse to reblog this with a separate post instead of tags#because what's tagged is too specific to me#my posts#autism#hyperfixations

2025 reads / storygraph
Unbury The Bones + Boneless
urban fantasy mystery novella series
a grumpy vampire with the uncontrollable ability to see people’s skeletons who helps people out with magical problems
they’re assigned a werewolf partner, and they investigate a mysterious magical attack, while the werewolf really wants to be friends with them, if they’ll just let down some of their barriers
nonbinary aromantic MC
#Unbury The Bones#ember bones#aroaessidhe 2025 reads#aromantic books#these are some very short novellas - like almost feel like short stories to me#there’s some unique and creative urban fantasy elements in the worldbulding!#tbh I found myself not caring much about the mysteries - also why do they so intensely suspect the wrong person both times.#iffy detective work lmao#I appreciate how it tries to be very anti cop though perhaps in a somewhat surface level way#very a-romcom vibes; including the pretty quick surface level relationship#we don’t get much time to get to know the characters or develop their relationship. But the little that’s there is sweet.#so if you want something short with a grumpy aro and begrudging friendship check it out. first one iss free second is $1#also the second one does throw around a bit of crazy/psycho ableism :/ which feels out of sorts with the discussions of mental health etc

Hey, hey, I have a question, DC lore knowers
Do you have any canon material/headcanons about color associations in Martian culture? If not, would you like to treat this post as a long discussion to figure it out?
I got a sudden urge to know it and I don't feel like I know enough about the Martian culture in general to make it up. Plus, I have only my European perspective to aid me and I know it varies between cultures on Earth alone so it probably be better if more people worked on it.
But, you know. I think this topic has potential to be fascinating.
#dc#detective comics#young justice cartoon#dc mars#dc martians#martian manhunter#miss martian#ive just seen first season of young justice#jonn jonzz#mgann morzz#idk what tags to spam to reach right people help#color meanings#color theory#hospital edition type#i read some scientific research about how it's different between cultures but i don't feel like i know enough on why#to make it on my own#like would red on Mars be kinda similar to black in western culture#i mean it would be related to death (inhabitable surface) and elegance (because red martian royalty)?#help#have a nice day dear stranger who got to this part

my man gosho aoyama cannot accidentally stop writing bisexual characters. it's so funny.
#except for Sera. who he accidentally wrote as a lesbian#it's funny because on the surface. detective conan should be a very straight manga#but gosho just. keeps doing this#detective conan
