Short story (Arkham Knight x Female Reader)

Here is the basic storyline of this story -> The main premise of the story will be this: Instead of kidnapping Barbra, he kidnaps you and holds you hostage. He, of course, may have his way with you, and scarecrow might get a bit handsy. But then you escape for a bit and realize that it was Jason the whole time. You try to get him to snap out of this vendetta and turn him towards Bruce's side. The warnings will be listed when I make the story but a warning I want to put out there is that it might be a bit dark and forceful but end in sweetness.

Warnings to this story: Viewer discretion is highly advised with this story (18+). Dark, gloomy, forced sex, guns, cursing, sexual gifs, mention of bruises, forced fingering, smut, etc.

Gotham City

One of the worst cities that could possibly exist. Filled with murderers, psychos, criminals, everything you could possibly think of. The kingpin that ran the city was the Joker, but after his untimely death at the supposed hands of Batman, other crime lords battled for the control of Gotham. Thankfully, Batman controlled these lunatics with a good punch to the abdomen. Yet, something was coming, a new era….a new battle that Gotham had to face. Will Batman rise to the challenge, or crumble like a toy in the hands of fate? 

“Bruce, something is going on in Chinatown, you have to look into it” Barbara spoke through the comms link between him and her. 

“I'm heading there right now,” Batman sternly spoke. 

“Good, listen uh…I don't like running from a fight, and I want to help you but-”

“But what?” Batman curiously asked. 

“I told her to get out of the city Bruce, she's not at the clock tower, I am” you chuckled through the connection link. 

“Y/n, is that you?” Batman chuckled as he glided towards the greenhouse.

“In the flesh, I know Barbara didn't want to tell you but…I felt it was right for her to get out.” “She's in no condition to be here and I prefer her to be safe and not used as leverage for whoever is trying to control the city.”

“Hey I have a mouth y/n, I can take care of myself but you're right, listen, if you both need anything from me, I'll be on my computer and on comms, okay?”

“Thank you Barbara and stay safe okay?” You spoke with concern laced in your voice. 

As the comms channel ended between you and Barbara, you began typing away at the computer in front of you. “Be careful Bruce, I'm detecting a bunch of assholes in that greenhouse.” 

“Got it, thanks y/n.”

"That's what I'm here for," you chuckled, ending the communication and returning your focus to the screens. Computer technology wasn’t really your thing—science was more your area—but with training from Barbara and the great Batman, these simple controls felt like second nature. The task was almost effortless, a smooth routine that came with practice and a lot of determination. Deep down, you knew something bad was coming, something that you didn't want Barbara to go through, especially with her not being able to walk, that combination here in Gotham was not ideal. 

After Bruce dealt with the fools in the greenhouse and brought Poison Ivy to the GCPD, he headed to Ace Chemicals. Once he entered, you heard a loud explosion. “No, no, no” You gasped, quickly checking your surveillance camera to see that Ace Chemicals had blown up. “Please be okay, please be okay~!” you worriedly spoke, until you noticed in the camera that he was flying towards his car that he had on the broken bridge. “Oh thank god.” “It’s good to see that you’re alright Bruce, but I knew it was Scarecrow and his dumbass vendetta,” you growled, making sure to be on high alert knowing that this Arkham Knight character and Scarecrow were out to reduce Gotham to rubble. 

After hearing nothing but silence on the comms channel, you tried again.

“Bruce… Bruce, can you hear me?” You shouted, frustration creeping in as you wondered why your comms weren’t working. “Bruce, please!”

“He can't hear you” a robotic voice spoke behind you, holding a gun against your head. 

“Ah….” You gasped, looking down at your lap, remembering you had a taser. “Y-You're the Arkham Knight huh?” You gulped.

“Hmph, where's Barbara, she decided not to show?” The Knight chuckled deviously. 

“I told her to leave with the others, it wasn't safe for her.” 

“Well, it isn't safe for you either, y/n.” 

“H-How do you know my name?” You questioned in shock, your hand grasping your taser and readying yourself to strike. 

The knight chuckled again, moving to the left side of your face and pressed his hard mask against it. “I know your name because I know how special you are to Bruce.”

“What?” 

“You heard me y/n.” 

Your breathing began to quicken at this new information, how did he know who Batman was, has he told Scarecrow, did anyone else know?

“What's the matter, kitten? Tongue tied? Or do you just like it when I leave you speechless?"

With no hesitation, you pushed back against him, quickly turning around and driving your taser deep into his chest. "Fuck you!" you yelled, leaping over his convulsing body and rushing toward the elevator.

"Come on, come on!" you begged, jamming the button to the elevator, repeatedly.

"Argh, you’re not going anywhere!" the Knight growled, grabbing you violently by the waist and slinging you over his shoulder like a slab of meat.

"Let me go! Let go!" you screamed, your taser slipping from your grasp. "No, no!" 

“I have her, I'm going to bring her to the secure location” The Knight spoke through his comms channel with Scarecrow after slowly entering the elevator and pressing the down button. 

“Ah, get your fucking hands off of me you prick!” You growled, banging on his back. 

“Heh, always acting feisty huh.” 

“Ah, please let me go, I’m not that important like you say!” you begged, hoping to persuade this hunk of a man to let you go. 

“Not happening y/n, and you know it” He sighed as he opened the gate to the elevator and exited out of the clocktower towards the hummer. 

“Where are we headed, boss?” one of the militia soldiers spoke. 

“To the hideout” The Knight spoke bluntly.

“Got it” the soldier nodded as he got into the driver's seat and waited for the Knight to put you in the back. 

“Try anything and I will make sure that you regret it” The Knight warned you as he opened the back door, shoved you inside and sat alongside you, making sure to keep a hold of you so that you wouldn’t try anything funny. “Let's go!” He shouted to the soldier in the driver's seat after he closed the door. 

As the hummer sped forward, you glanced over at the knight, trying to see if you could notice any familiar features in order to get an idea who this man was behind the mask. Unfortunately, his mask covered those features, giving you no chance in identifying him. Yet, your luck soon came to you when you saw a knife hiding right in the seat pocket in front of you. 

“So, what’s your plan for Gotham?” You asked the Knight, trying to keep him talking and distracted enough for you to get the knife and stab the driver. 

“Why would I tell you our plan y/n, so you can go crying to the old man?” The Knight huffed as he looked outside, making sure to keep watch if anything suspicious was flying near them. 

“No, I was just curious because you seem very cocky, as if Batman won’t stop you” you chuckled, sneakily moving your left hand close to the pocket and grabbing the knife very slowly.

“He’s predictable, old, he won’t stand a chance against me” the Knight growled, feeling a boiling rage brewing within him.

“Heh, I’ve heard countless of his enemies say the same thing, but they ultimately met their fate” you chuckled, making sure to move carefully and stab the driver viciously in the neck.

“Argh!” The soldier yelled in pain, grasping the knife that was in his neck and losing control of the hummer.

With quick thinking, you opened the door and tumbled out, glancing back at the hummer as it flipped and turned over. “Oof, better luck next time Knight” you chuckled, thinking that he was for sure dead or injured. “I’m going to feel that in the morning” You groaned as you stood on your two feet and began to limp away. 

Without warning, a stray bullet whizzed past your ear, causing you to stop in place.

“That was a warning shot, the next one might not miss” The Knight spoke angrily with his weapon drawn.

“Shit” you sighed softly, waiting for him to grab you harshly, but casually tossing aside a scrambler device for Batman to find. “I thought that would’ve taken you out.”

“You think that would’ve taken me out?” He grasped you by the back of your neck and forced you to look at him. “It would take much more to hurt me y/n, you should know that by now.” “Let’s go!” he growled as he contacted another militia officer to bring another hummer. 

A few minutes had passed as the Arkham Knight carried you over his shoulder and into the secure location he was to hold you in. 

“That took longer than expected, Knight, what kept you?” Scarecrow curiously asked when he saw him arrive. 

“The first hummer crashed, courtesy of y/n over here” he growled, carrying you over to one of the cells, entered it, tossed you onto the bed, and then walked out. 

“Who is this y/n?” Scarecrow questioned, slowly approaching the cell to take a look at you.

“Don’t worry, she’s special to Batman, trust me” The Knight locked the cell door and then stretched out his arms. “I’m heading over to Stagg’s airship, you coming or not?”

“Hmmm” Scarecrow intriguingly hummed as he stared at you.

Adjusting your position on the bed, you pulled your knees close to your chest, finding Scarecrow’s staring to be extremely uncomfortable. 

“Where did barbara gordon magically disappear too hmm?” 

“She didn’t disappear, Scarecrow, y/n over here told her to get out of the city…for her own safety.”

“My, she’s quite resourceful isn’t she?” “What a shame that we have to use such beauty as a hostage.” “Are you scared my dear?” he questioned as he came closer to the bars of the cell.

The knight, becoming slightly agitated by the way Scarecrow was acting towards you, intervened, “Scarecrow, we have a limited window before Batman starts sniffing around for clues.” “We need to head out now, so like I asked before, are you coming or not?” 

“Alright Knight, have some patience.” “And yes, I will be accompanying you to Stagg’s airship.” “When we have what we need, bring me back here so I can….have some fun with her.”

When you heard Scarecrow speak of him returning to the location, you felt a chill run down your spine, not wanting to imagine the horrors you were going to experience with him. 

“Not going to happen Scarecrow, remember, you have to prepare your weapon before we launch it.” 

“Oh yes, how silly of me to forget.” “Why do you care so much for her well-being, Knight?” Scarecrow pried from the Arkham Knight. 

The Knight, taken aback by his question, shook his head, “I am not going to waste my time with meaningless questions, let’s move out men!” “You, make sure you watch her, she can be a bit slippery” he spoke to one of the soldiers who was planning on staying behind to watch you. 

“Copy that sir” The soldier nodded as he dragged a chair towards your cell and sat in front of it to keep an eye on you. 

Scarecrow could only chuckle at how the Knight dogged his question, but let it slide as he followed after him. 

As it fell silent, you let go of your knees and stood on your two feet, trying to get a sense of where you were. “Hey, listen, I need to use the bathroom badly” You lied, simply wanting to get the drop on this soldier and try to give Batman a heads up of where you were. 

The soldier slowly moved his phone away from his face as he heard you, “Are you sure you need to use the bathroom, or are you trying to trick me?” 

“I seriously do!” 

“Heh, nice try, if you really need to use the bathroom then pee your pants” The soldier huffed, continuing to scroll through his phone.

“Ugh!” You growled in frustration as you walked back over to the bed and sat down on it, trying to figure a way out of here.

“Y/n, y/n can you read me!?” Batman worriedly called you through his comms. “Alfred, can you reach y/n?” 

“No sir, I cannot, this can’t be good” Alfred also spoke with worry laced in his voice.

“I’m heading to the clocktower to check on her.” “Oracle, I can not reach y/n, can you?” He switched his comms over to Barbara’s once he ended communication with Alfred.

“No Bruce, something’s wrong, I can’t access the security cameras in the clock tower either, please hurry, who knows what happened to her?!” Barbara nervously said.

“I’m heading there now” Batman ended the connection and quickly slid into the clocktower once he got it open. Although, when he entered, he saw your favorite jacket just lying on the floor. Suddenly, Alfred called him, “Alfred…she’s gone…”.

“Oh no,” Alfred said sadly. “Sir, I know this isn’t a good time, but the Knight is trying to reach you, maybe this could lead us to where she is.”

“Maybe” Batman growled as he pressed a button on his suit and then the Knight’s image appeared in front of his eyes.

“Hello Batman, I guess you’re wondering where your little friend is?” “Well, she’s with us now.” 

“If you hurt her…I will make sure you won't be able to breathe on your own for the rest of your life…” Batman warned this “Arkham Knight.”

“Oh Batman, you couldn't even do it even if you tried.” “I know your every move, how you think, how you do things….no matter how hard you try….I will always be one step ahead” The Knight chuckled, ending communication once the helicopter he was in was nearing Staggs airship. 

“Dammit, Alfred, if y/n was taken, the Knight must've left some clues behind, send me the program to scan for tracks so I can upload it into the batmobile.”

“Already done sir.”

Once Batman ended communications with Alfred, he left the clocktower and proceeded to follow any tracks that could lead to any clues of your kidnapping. 

Hours had passed, sitting in your cell, wondering what you could do to escape this horrorish nightmare. The guard in front of your cell looked tough, and probably not as stupid as you think, so you had to come up with a plan, something devious that would entice him to open your cell door. As your head lit up with an idea, the Knight came rushing into the hideout, looking all hurt and defeated.

“Sir, are you alright?!” The soldier who was looking after you spoke with worry laced in his voice.

“Yes I’m fucking alright…fuck!” he shouted as he punched one of the screens that was by the entrance. 

“What can I do for you sir?”

“You can get the fuck out of here, that’s what you can do for me!”

Without question, the soldier quickly stood from the chair he was lounging on and rushed out of the hideout, wanting to leave the Knight in peace.

“Heh, sounds to me like Batman ruined your plans Arkham Knight” You cockily giggled, wanting to jab the metaphorical knife deeper into his chest.

Hearing you speak brought a seething rage within him, “What did you just say?” he questioned, quickly stomping his way towards your cell, staring directly into your eyes.

“You heard me” You smirked, staring right back at him, feeling courageous. 

In the blink of an eye, the Knight grabbed the keys to your cell, opened it viciously, and slammed it close, nearly breaking the bars of the door when he closed it. “So….you think you can just….make fun of my defeat….huh?” he chuckled darkly, slowly turning around, looming over you like a creature of the night.

Seeing him enter your cell brought a chill down your spine, even more so when he turned around to face you. “Well, I mean…you deserve it…for kidnapping me…a-and nearly destroying G-Gotham” you stuttered, slowly backing away from him. 

“I deserve it?” he repeated after you, continuing to come closer to you, inch by inch. “Well then, I guess this is only fair since you say I.Deserved.it!” he spoke the last few words slowly before his hands tore through the air, wrenching you toward the cold embrace of the cell bed.

“No, no let me go!” You screamed in fear, struggling against his grip when you landed on the cell bed.

“Shut up!” he shouted to you, grabbing both your wrists and holding them against your chest. “You should think twice before making fun of someone…” he growled in annoyance. Letting go of your hands, he began to unbuckle his pants, using his belt to tie your hands together. 

“No, please” you begged him, your body trembling in fear as your wrists were bound together. “I-I’m sorry!”

“Too late y/n” he chuckled deviously, unzipping his pants and then proceeded to strip you of your pants and panties. Throwing your pieces of clothing onto the floor with ease, he spread your legs wide for him, making sure to grasp them tightly to ensure that you knew that no matter how hard you struggled, it wasn’t going to be enough for you to escape. 

“Ah!” You winced, feeling him squeeze your thighs tightly, knowing for sure they were going to be bruised by the end of this. “Please….please…..I-I…I’m a….” you went silent as he began to align himself, ignoring your every plea. 

The Knight chuckled as he slammed his massive shaft within you, not giving you enough time to adjust. "Heh… how’s that feel, y/n? Hm? You like that?" "Gets you all worked up, doesn’t it? Having a real man take you like this?"

“Please!” you whimpered, arching your head back, tears overflowing from your eyes as this….bastard….took the one thing that you were saving for a special someone. 

The Arkham Knight groaned in pleasure as he slammed harshly within you, his hips driving back and forth. “Fuck….you’re so tight y/n…damn..” he groaned in hunger, arching his head back. 

Out of nowhere, a shadowy figure came strolling by the hideout, approaching the cell you and the Arkham knight was in. “Knight, we need to talk.”

“I’m a bit busy, Scarecrow!” The Akrham knight shouted while he thrusted harshly within you, most definitely leaving bruises on your insides and outsides. 

As he continued to thrust, you covered your mouth in embarrassment, not wanting to give Scarecrow the satisfaction of watching you being taken and hurt by this man. 

Scarecrow chuckled as he leaned against the bars, glancing inside to watch you whimper and tremble in pain. “I know what happened to the cloud burst…we need to discuss the next phase of our plans to stop Batman.” 

“Fuck!” “Alright!” The Knight hissed as he did the last few quick thrusts and filled you up to the brim with his load, releasing a long, blissful sigh, afterwards. “Damn, that was good” he groaned, pulling out of you, untying you, and then pulling and zipping his pants up. “I’ll bring my men in to discuss the next phase…. Scarecrow…don’t keep me waiting….” The Knight stared down at Scarecrow before he left. 

As you laid there, Scarecrow decided to slip into your cell and sit down next to your shaking form. “You should’ve kept that loose mouth shut my dear.”

“L-Leave me alone..” you whimpered, covering your face with your arms. 

“Aw, did the Knight hurt you badly?” he mocked, slowly removing the needles that he had attached to his fingers and setting them aside. “I can make it feel better my dear” he cooed against your ear when he leaned in close.

“D-Don’t you…dare touch me…y-you monster” you tried to push him away but felt his hand slowly glide down your stomach and down to your pussy. “Ah!” you yelped.

“Oh, so you are afraid of me, good” A cruel laugh rumbled in his throat, his fingers causally entering your sore filled entrance. “My, my, the Knight really filled you, must’ve felt good hmm?” he questioned, slowly fingering you gently.

“Ah, please….please stop it” You begged him, your shaking hand gently grasping his arm that he was using to finger you. “I-I can’t….a-” you went silent when his other hand covered your mouth. 

“Shh” he came close to you, inching forward while removing his hand carefully. As you struggled to breathe, you could feel the weight of his presence looming over you. His voice was low and venomous, whispering just loud enough for you to hear, his breath hot and uneven against your skin. Without warning, his hand gripped your face, holding you in place with such force, as his disfigured lips curled into something that might almost have been considered a smile.

Then, with unsettling slowness, he leaned in—his face close enough that you could feel the jagged ridges of his scars brush against you. The air between you felt thick, heavy with his twisted intentions. His tongue, rough and unnatural, flicked out and licked a spot on your cheek—slow, deliberate, almost tasting your fear. The sensation was grotesque, like a reptile’s tongue or something inhuman, leaving a cold, unsettling trail of moisture behind.

The touch felt wrong—every movement dripping with the essence of his madness. He lingered close to your face, as if savoring the discomfort he was causing, his disfigured face only making the experience more nightmarish. His breath was ragged, like he was trying to savor this twisted, perverse moment of power over you, the act itself a reminder of just how far gone he was. 

"I can feel your insides twitch, my dear. Did my kiss excite you? Or was that just the fear?" His voice would be cold, cutting through the silence as he gripped you with authority.

“G-Go to hell S-Scarecrow” You gasped, arching your head back against the pillow you were laying on as you released against his fingers. 

A low chuckle escaped his lips when he felt your insides tighten around him. Slowly but surely, he pulled his fingers out and used his jagged tongue to lick up the excess, ignoring the fact that some of your juices contained reminiscent of the Knight’s semen. 

“When we are finished with you….the Batman won’t know what to do with you” Scarecrow smirked, grabbing his fear toxin needles, slipped them back on, and exited the cell; making sure to tell the next soldier to watch you. 

As you were left alone, you slowly sat up from the bed, wincing as your body began to feel the effects of both the Knight and Scarecrow. “F-Fucking pigs..” you murmured underneath your breathe, using your sleeve to wipe the saliva trail that Scarecrow had left on your cheek. 

“G-Guard…l-listen c-can I please use the bathroom” You begged, tears overflowing your eyes as you limped towards the bars of the door. 

“Just piss yourself” The soldier gruffed as he scrolled through his phone. 

“Please!” you nearly screamed, feeling the Knight’s cum softly dripping down your legs. 

Another passing soldier shook his head when he heard the commotion, “Come on love” he spoke softly, grabbing the keys to the door and unlocked it.

“Hey, I am on watch duty, you’re supposed to be at your designated post” The soldier growled as he stood from the chair he was sitting on. 

“I got it, you just play with your phone” The soldier growled back, grabbing onto your arm and began to lead you to the porta potty they had a couple of doors down. 

“Whatever you fuck face” the other soldier shrugged and sat back down on his chair, continuing to not do his job. 

“Geez, these men have no manners, there ya are love.”

“T-Thank you” you whimpered, limping towards the porta potty with your panties in hand and opened it, wanting to close the door but the soldier blocked you from doing so.

“I know that you want your privacy, but I can’t let you close the door.”

“A-Alright…but can you at least turn around please?” “Give me some privacy?”

“Okay” The soldier chuckled, turning around and crossing his arms as he waited for you to do your business. 

Without hesitation, you subtly clutched the soldier’s weapon from his holster and used the back of it to hit his head harshly. As he fell to the floor unconscious, you checked to see if the gun was loaded. Once your check was complete, you pulled your panties on, tiptoed towards the soldier playing with his phone and shot him in the head when he wasn’t paying attention. You despised your actions, but you had to, otherwise he would’ve seen you coming close to him. Dropping the gun, you rushed towards the cell to grab your pants, and then headed towards the computer that was close to the exit, quickly hacking into it and pulling up Batman’s comms connection.

“Who is this?” Batman harshly answered until he saw you. “Y/n, are you alright?!” 

“Not really, but don’t worry about me, I’m sending you my coordinates, be careful though, the Knight and Scarecrow are around here somewhere.”

“I’ll be there soon, just hide” Batman hung up the connection between you and him and grabbed his batmobile to head to your location.

“Hide, sure” you chuckled sarcastically, grabbing the computer you used and threw it on the floor, making sure that there was no trace of the connection. 

“What the hell, she’s gone, find her!” A soldier yelled from the cell area. 

“Shit” you gasped, running out of the hideout after pulling on your pants, and covering your face as the cool Gotham air hit you. “Where the fuck am I going to hide!?” 

“Where do you think you’re going y/n?” The Knight spoke from behind you. 

“I’m leaving, you fuck head!” You shouted, slowly backing away, unaware that the concrete barrier behind you hid a 5 foot drop onto the street. 

“Heh, you think you’re smart enough to leave?” “Please, you can’t save yourself nor can Batman.”

“That’s what you think mother fucker” You smirked, climbing onto the concrete barrier and then jumped, making sure that your right side was pointed down towards the ground.

“Wait y/n!” The Knight exclaimed, his voice filled with worry, as he tried to reach for you.

“Argh!” you yelped when your body connected with the hard concrete of the street below, knowing for sure you sprained the entire right hemisphere of your body. “Shit…shit” you winced, shakily standing up.

“Dammit!” The knight growled as he used his grappling hook to grasp onto the building in front of him and jumped down to catch up with you. 

“Come on y/n, come on” You pushed yourself to limp towards an abandoned building, hoping that this was enough cover in order to give Batman some time to come and save you. With quick thinking, you hid behind one of the pillars that held up this building, trying to regain some of your strength. 

“Y/n, come on out, you can’t hide from me” The Knight’s robotic voice echoed along the dilapidated walls of the building. “Come now, you know that Bruce was never going to save you.” “He doesn’t care about you.” 

Tears overflowed your eyes again as you heard him, trying to fight those unwanted thoughts from your head. “He does care for me” you whispered to yourself. 

The Knight tilted his head slightly at the sound of a faint whisper, a smirk growing along his lips from within his mask.

As silence fell upon the building, you poked your head out carefully, trying to see where the knight went. 

“Gotcha!” The Knight laughed coldly when he grabbed you from behind.

“No, let me go!” You screamed, trying to struggle from his grasp.

“Why do you keep fighting, that old man will never save you……”.

“Y-You’re wrong…h-he cares for me….just as much as he cares for our team.”

The Knight let out a frustrating growl, turning you around to face him, his hands grasping your arms harshly. “He doesn’t care…..he didn’t care about me…when I went missing…..”.

“Huh?” you gasped when you heard what he said. “W-Who are you?”

“You still don’t know, do you y/n?” he lowly spoke, releasing you from his grasp and then pressed the button on his mask to reveal his true identity. 

“Jason” You let out a breath of shock, not believing the sight before you. “W-We all thought you died….Joker sent Bruce the tape of you dying…”. 

“But….why….I-” you couldn’t speak as you tried to reach for him, but he didn’t allow you to touch him.

“It was all a lie!” “Joker didn’t kill me!” “I was trapped inside that asylum with him.....being tortured….and beaten…” he let out a whimper, feeling himself slowly breaking piece by piece. 

“And what I find so amusing…is that you still believe in him….as if he will save you….” A low growl escaped him as he grabbed his gun, aiming it straight at you.

“Jason….I’m sorry…..he….he still loves you……I…I love you….” you pleaded with him, stepping closer to him, standing dangerously close to his gun.

“D-Don’t you…..don’t you dare say he still loves me…..” he shook his head. 

“He does Jason…��.Bruce no!” You shouted as you pushed him back, Batman accidentally tackling you instead of the Knight. 

Jason, quickly using his grappling hook, grappled to the gargoyles above, grabbing the sniper rifle he had on his back. “Well old man…this is where it ends!” 

Batman jerked you in close, glancing up to see the Knight scoping the area out with his sniper rifle. “Y/n, what the hell?!” “Who was that?”

“Bruce….it’s Jason….he’s alive” You aesthetically said while holding onto him. 

“No, impossible Joker sent us the video of his death?” Batman spoke with shock laced in his voice. 

“No it’s true…you can’t hurt him please.” “We have to save him.”

A sigh escaped Batman’s lips as he glanced back up, nodding to your plan, “Alright, I want you to take this disrupter, use it when I tell you too, okay?”

“Got it, be careful” You cautioned him as you grabbed the disrupter and proceeded to go behind a pillar that was near Jason. 

“Come on Bruce, you know this is where it ends….don’t delay the inevitable!” Jason shouted, trying to catch Batman lurking. 

Glancing to the side, you noticed Batman in the corner, waving to you. Nodding to his gesture, you used the disruptor on Jason’s sniper rifle. 

“What the hell?!” Jason grumbled in anger as he tried to get his rifle to work.

Batman, without hesitation, grappled up to the gargoyle he was on and tackled him to the ground. “It’s over Jason!” He shouted, punching his mask off, leaving only the red cracked one. Wanting to strike again, he stopped, his heart filling with regret at the sight of Jason’s marked face. 

“Come on old man….finish the job” Jason spoke with venom laced in his voice.

“No” Batman spoke softly, almost a whisper. 

“Jason!” You shouted, dropping the disrupter and kneeling down to hug him.

The feeling of your arms wrapped around him, brought all the walls he had built up, down. “Y-Y/n” he spoke with a soft cry. 

“It’s okay, I’m here” you sniffled, pulling off his cracked red mask and tossing it aside so you could cup his cheeks. 

“I-I’m so sorry…I-I never….meant to hurt you…I-I was just…blinded…by rage….” He admitted with defeat.

Batman slowly walked over to Jason and kneeled down, “Jason I…..I’m sorry.” 

Jason glared at him from behind you, not believing a word he said. “You left me to rot in that abandoned wing of Arkham…..for over a year…with him!” 

Pulling away slowly, you ruffled his hair, hoping to calm him a bit as he chewed out Bruce’s ass. 

“It’s not too late….we can fix this….together” Batman extended out his hand for Jason. 

Jason sighed again in defeat, glancing over at you, carefully taking a hold of your cheek after he tossed his sniper rifle. “Fine.”

Batman nodded as he pulled away from the both of you and began to talk with Alfred.

“I love you… and I wish I hadn’t dragged you into all of this” Jason whispered softly.

“I love you more Jason…and…it’s okay…you can make it up to me” You joked, slowly pushing his legs a bit to sit in his lap and cuddle close to him.

After Batman ended the call with Alfred, he glanced down at you two, “I’m going after Scarecrow, take as long as you need, I’ll call you when I need you.”

“Thank you Bruce” you smiled up at him. Once you and Jason were left alone, you glanced up at him, noticing the loving gaze in his eyes as he stared down at you. 

“That fall looked painful, did you break anything?” Jason questioned as he began to gently press his hands against your right side.

“Ah, I-I probably just sprained a couple of muscles…but I’ll be okay” You shrugged with a wince, tracing your finger along his chest.

“Hm.” “I am sorry again for…what I did back in that cell.” “I-I knew you were a virgin and….I just took that away from you.”

“It’s alright Jason, now that I know it was you….there is no reason to be sorry.” “Scarecrow is the one that needs to be sorry after what he had done to me.”

“What do you mean?” Jason asked curiously.

“Nothing….nothing” you gulped, shaking your head as you tried to forget what he did to you.

“What the hell did he do to you?!” he spoke angrily and protectively. 

“I…well…he…um..” you stuttered in your response to him, tears dripping down your cheeks as you looked into Jason’s protective eyes. “He….he licked my face…..and….fingered me until I came..” you whimpered weakly, feeling useless that you couldn’t stop him.

"That fucking bastard," Jason growled in anger, his fists clenched as he fought the urge to go after Scarecrow himself for what he had done to you.

"Oh, my love..." he sighed softly, pulling you closer, making sure his legs shielded your frail body.

"I'm so sorry." His voice softened, filled with guilt as he pressed gentle kisses to your head.

"I promise I'll protect you from now on." "No one—no man—will ever lay a finger on you again."

"Jason," was all that slipped past your lips as he pressed gentle kisses against your head.

"I love you so much." You whispered again, feeling your body soften against his.

"I love you more, y/n." He smiled softly, lifting your chin to press a slow, lingering kiss against your lips.

A soft chuckle, filled with tears, escaped your lips as he kissed you, your arms gently wrapping around his neck as you pulled him closer.

~After the incident that happened in Gotham, Bruce decided that it was time to turn in his title of Batman. No longer will he be the savior of Gotham. Yet, there were still a few brave vigilantes that quickly took that title in honor of him. 

"Well, it's a little tight, but I can work with it," Jason chuckled, eyeing himself in the mirror as he adjusted his Red Hood outfit.

"Wow, you look sexy," you giggled, walking up to him and pressing a soft kiss against his mask.

"Oh, don't tempt me, cupcake," Jason warned with a teasing grin, his voice low. "You keep this up, and I might just rip this suit off and fuck you right here."

"Jason, we’ve already done it like five times today," you cooed, walking toward the bedroom with a sway in your hips. "Besides, I’d rather have you fuck me with it on."

Watching the way your hips moved, Jason's cock hardened, the sight of you driving him wild. "Y/n...why?" he groaned in frustration, his body reacting before his mind, as he stormed toward the bedroom and scooped you up.

A loud giggle escaped your lips when Jason scooped you up into his arms and slammed you onto the bed. “Now you’re going to have to fuck me with it on.”

“Naughty girl,” Jason chuckled, pulling off his mask and devouring your lips hungrily.

A loud moan escaped your lips, your arms instinctively wrapping around him, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss. “Mm, Jason...”

“Y/n...” he groaned, his hardened cock grinding against your pants, feeling the heat of your pussy pressing against him.

“Ah, easy, I’m still sore down there,” you pulled away from the kiss, your hands slipping under his hoodie, gently ruffling his hair.

“Keep ruffling my hair like that, and I’ll keep grinding on your sore pussy,” he warned, his voice low and teasing.

“Fuck, I love you, Jason.”

“Mm, me t—” Jason’s words were cut short when a sudden ring from his belt interrupted him. “Dammit… we’ll have to continue this later, baby. Duty calls.” He chuckled, pressing a quick kiss to your lips before grabbing his mask.

“Aww, hurry back.” “Ooo, I’m gonna order those cinnabuns I told you about so you can try them!”

“Alright, baby, I’ll be back as quick as I can.” Jason blew you a kiss from behind his mask and then jumped out the window like the badass vigilante he was.

Dear Daftaiyo

(Yes, I write to you, once again)

Not a day goes by without me thinking about your art and that animatic that I rewatch so often. You sit in my notifications quite often with reblogs, but I miss your art!

I want to make an art for your Piglin again. But I want to do something with lore in it.

Would it be possible to arrange? Maybe you could ramble in the post for this ask, or message it to me if you don't wanna share it publically?

Love your art and your character forever,

Respectfully,

Marcus blood-smith

Well hello there, dear Marcus blood-smith!~

Yee sorry got a new job and cant really find time to do art worth posting here. (Its silly sketches and comms And people following me here expect fanart)

For the lore mghmmm I cant really tell much more from the server, don't play there often. I mean I made an egg costume and was running around in it a lot pretending to be qsmp egg. Fun time. Mostly I visit it for our events like secret santa or new minigame that was built in the game district. Bunker game was really fun. It's based on board game with the same name.

Got back to my first base to finally finish it! I guess you can make up lore from that-

Like weather in snowy Tinkerwing village got so bad that people from there had to move in the big tree in the warmer area. Ooohhh abnormal weather.

Hilda DOES have her own lore tho that's different from whatever happens when I'm playing and she's completely new character from me.

She's more of background character in that story tho

The only pic with whole crew I have is this one

In story she was childhood friends with ghast gal, but they were separated when Hilda went through the nether portal and couldn't go back. Ghast got mad at her thinking she was abandoned, got super buff, speedrunned minecraft (not a joke, she went to the End and got op loot there) finally found Hilda and get in the cool anime battle with her.

While after Hilda appeared in the Overworld she was found by Noelle (brown cow) before turning into zombie piglin Was cured in the village and started observing new culture for her helping to fight the Big Bad Rich in a face of Adele (phantom gal) and her right hand arm. man. her everything. Her confidence, best friend. Her silly rabbit.. Piper (silverfish in yellow glasses) in the process. And yeah fighting her bff after

So

I might try making separate blog for oc's But I'm just not that kind of person to talk about my oc's a lot. I'm not that good of story writer or story teller. Most of my oc's don't have lore rather just concept of it.

I did manage to upload a lot of pics on Toyhouse tho You could check it out to maybe get some more context from art there (I'm Daftaiyo there as well)

Thank uuuuu<3<3<3

Was glad to see you again,

Daftaiyo~

RED VALLEY: WHILE YOU WERE HYPERSLEEPING 2

(transcript)

GORDON PORLOCK, AT HIS DESK IN THE RECORDS ROOM. IT IS LATE, HE IS ANXIOUS. BUT QUIET, BUT TONED DOWN. HE IS TRYING TO REMAIN CALM.

GORDON: Gordon Porlock, personal log. So, it turns out I'm not alone. Aubrey Wood is outside. Hiding in a camper van. We spoke a couple of hours ago over the comm Warren left her.

GORDON: I have no idea if I can trust this person. I've listened to the recording Warren gave me over and over but...I don't know. I can't think of any reason you'd go through what she's now going through unless you were sincere about trying to put something right. But then, my only friend is an amnesiac criminal whose fake wife threatened to cut my skull open with a bone saw the other week. There's a chance I'm not a great judge of character.

GORDON: We didn't talk very long. We weren't sure what to say to each other. Weird thing is that we haveactually spoken before. A lot. Online, a few years ago when I first heard the rumours about Red Valley. It was Aubrey. She was the source who first started getting me information. I think she thought telling me that would break the ice...If anything it made it more awkward to talk over the comm. I sound much cooler when you can't hear my voice.

GORDON: Aubrey told me a lot of wild stuff about Overhead back then. It's what got me hooked on Red Valley, on cryonics, in the first place. The utter madness of it all. The man who started it all was one of the founders of the company in the 70s, Malcolm Landry. He was the first head of R&D. To begin with it was all above board, boring cryogenics work on plants and amphibians. Aubrey's convinced he's behind everything that happens after that, but his name is nowhere near any of it. He's still at the company now though, on the board of directors.

PAUSE.

GORDON: It didn't take many years for Overhead's work to get grisly. Testing extreme temperature endurance on the homeless in the 80s. Igniting a vat of hydrogen sulphide that blew up an entire cohort of test subjects in North Wales in the 90s. And then…this place. So, I thought, I've finally got the whole archive here. Going through all this is what Bryony asked me to do anyway. And if I can corroborate what Aubrey told me with what's in here, then maybe that's a step closer to trusting her. I mean...I assume half of it isn't true.

CUT. TIME HAS PASSED. GORDON DUMPS A BUNCH OF DOCUMENTS DOWN ON THE TABLE HARD.

GORDON: Nope. It's all true. All of it. Here's a cutting of Malcolm Landry in 1972 barking on about suspended animation and how we're doomed to repeat our mistakes unless we 'harness the wisdom from past generations'. Here's a note from the lead scientist of those experiments on the homeless. Oh, good God. 'The vagabonds are a surprisingly cheerful bunch, which has made the liquid nitrogen immersion far less tedious than one might have anticipated.' Fuck.

A QUICK GULP OF TEA AS HE RIFLES THROUGH MORE DOCUMENTS,

GORDON: Photos of the burned down research station in Wales. The guy in charge of that one was so desperate to protect his work, he shot five members of the local volunteer fire service with a hunting rifle as they tried to put out the blaze and then injected himself with his own infusion.

HE TOSSES THE PHOTOS BACK DOWN.

GORDON: Here's my take on why cryonic preservation has been such a total bust (until Warren, obviously). It's not because the concept is ridiculous. Fringe science begets fringe scientists. Narcissists, control freaks, God complexes. Those are your entry level traits. It's not a long walk to get to sociopathy, psychopathy, and well, straight up Dark Lord of the Sith. In the end, it doesn't matter how gifted they are or what results they get. Maniacs gonna maniac.

PAUSE AS GORDON SEES SOMETHING IN THE PHOTOS. HE SCATTERS OTHER PAPERS OUT OF THE WAY AS HE SCRUTINIZES SOMETHING.

GORDON: Wait. Is that - no fucking way-

CUT TO: GORDON PACING THE SPACE, SERIOUS, TRYING TO REMAIN CALM.

GORDON: Here's a fun wrinkle. So, the brazen shithead running the homeless experiments disappears from the story once the project yields no decent data. Until you look at the photos of the victims in the Wales station fire 10 years later. He is one of the bloody test subjects. They turned the lead scientist on one project into a Guinea pig in the next.

HE STOPS. GOES BACK TO THE DESK, LEAFS THROUGH MORE PAPERS ANXIOUSLY.

GORDON: Which begs the question, what happened to the guy with the hunting rifle? Wait, what was his name? Umm... Hansmann. Alexander Hansmann. Where did I see that -

CUT AS GORDON MARCHES BACK TO THE ARCHIVE. CUT TO GORDON BACK AT HIS DESK, NOW STILL AND REFLECTIVE AFTER HIS EVENING OF NERVOUS ENERGY.

GORDON: So… here is where the past arrives unpleasantly at the present. At my present. To Red Valley being active as the new home of cryonic research. Before any Teddy Bears, before Warren Godby. Some dissection and analysis carried out on a selection of frozen internal organs. All clearly labelled. See… I thought Hansmann was the name of the physician who harvested them. No, he's the bloody subject. Their analysis was the first duty of the newly appointed cryonics lead. Doctor Bryony Halbech.

HE TAKES A BEAT.

GORDON: It's hard not to look back at Malcolm Landry's words about being doomed to repeat yourself and think, yeah, no shit. You hire lunatics, expect lunacy. I guess recycling your lead scientists is economical. Creates a tidy little closed loop. Once you've started cannibalising your own staff though, where does that leave you? Where next can you turn?

PAUSE. GORDON THINKS.

GORDON: Bryony knows everything I learned here tonight. She knows how Overhead treat their own people. Does she even need it archived, or did she just want to show me? To show me who she is. Show me what she can do.

ANOTHER PAUSE. GORDON SNAPS OUT OF HIS REVERIE AND STARTS SCOOPING UP DOCUMENTS AND PUTTING THEM BACK IN A BOX.

GORDON: Aubrey's stories match up at least. And if all of this is anything to go by, she might be the only person involved in this research that's ever managed to escape it. And she's come back. She's come back to stop it. I guess...I guess that's not nothing.

HE SEALS A LID ON THE BOX.

GORDON: Warren, I hope they wake you up soon. We need to talk.

END.

7.3.24 there was a deadline for a DTIYS my IRL friend, kobra_the_artist , hosted back around February!! I had like...3 days to finish the sketch I started back in February. It's...A pain being late to EVERYTHING with a deadline, but at least deadlines help me push finish a drawing, I otherwise would let rot in my WIP folder for almost a year (hell, some sketches are like 3 years old that are rotting in there now, that I'm self-aware about, yet still keep forgetting. ._." )

I don'ttt have too much to say on this one? Since it was a DTIYS, I recommend checking out the insta post simply, I'm not about to take my friend's artwork and cross-post it to somewhere else, I feel, that'd be scummy to do. :T SO LINK TO THE OG CONTEST POST! HUZZAH! plusssss, I think I yapped enough on my own insta post. :v

I just rlly wanted to draw Kobra, as I love her sona's design. I adore demon-anything, can u blame me LMAO. I need excuses to draw ppl's OCs willingly and gladly more. It's so hard to motivate myself to draw something at all for people anymore AUUUUGH

Somehow I won 1st place??? Don't ask em HOW, as I found other people's entries much better than mine ngl, butttt I'll never understand, that my art is actually enjoyed by some people anyway, ngl. Even years later, I still sometimes feel, like I don't deserve to call myself an artist LMFAO

I also added a little funne below, we both wanted to draw for fun, once we were in a call just rambling and stuff. On the right, has been drawn by Kobra!! (You can open the green, first link above, to her insta itself! She doesn't have Tumblr. No one in my friend group does, but I love Tumblr tbh. :"))

You should try ceramic pans. They are the best flavour. /lh

ANOTHER POST THERE IS! WHERE ART IS! I might post character concept-refs next. I'm running out of "good-looking things" to post, that won't make me look like a total amateur from the 2010s DA era. I've only uploaded these in my scraps on DA back then, so maybe you'll get weekly posts, as I draw concept refs basically weekly, to keep my chara-base up to date for comms and art exchange!

I wanna do a DTIYS myself some day!! But maybe in 4 years, where I dream of having paid off all my art-debt finally I've been working so hard to pay off on lately...

[moinsbienquekaworu]

i'm sorry for spamming your inbox please tell me to stop if i'm bothering you--

what even is the whole official star wars stuff. like except from the... nine? main movies that i all watched many times (i mean... "many" is for the first 6 but whatever), there is uhh rogue one? and solo right? i don't think i watched it. but like. there are shows too right? i never heard of those except that there is so much star wars lore that probably comes from ✨️ somewhere ✨️ (i hope). so what do i need to watch?? is there an order?? is there like. idek. things i have to know before diving into this? i feel like if you try to go away from the 6 (9) main movies you're immediatly going to get lost in the most crazy shit ever and never return from it and i'm ✨️ scared ✨️ and ✨️ lost ✨️ and ✨️ need help ✨️

also i spent the whole day reading kylux fics, like that's literally all i did, i'm way too prone to addictions it's scary (i'm glad the exams are behind me lol)

i love ✨️ sparkles ✨️ btw

One of us one of us ONE OF US!!!! I got you!!! Comme quoi it pays to be insane about stuff you like online. Anyway. Never worry about bothering me I am mentally ill about things on here for people to come up to me and say hi me too. I rewrote this a few times but it shoouuld be somewhat coherent.

Okay first there is objectively too much SW stuff for a normal person coming in right now with stuff to do during the day to go through in its entirety. The main stuff are the 6/9 main movies, which you've seen so you're good on that... and now I'm going to establish the concept of canon vs legends. If you've heard people talk about the extended universe/univers étendu, that's the old name of legends, but basically they're two different timelines. Canon is the 9 main movies, the The Clone Wars stuff, and everything serious Disney has done since they bought the franchise: Rogue One and Solo, and the TV shows Rebels, The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian (& The Book of Boba Fett), Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Andor. This is the timeline you're familiar with, but it's recent. Before this became the accepted canon, the 'official' 'true' version of events, there was just the extended universe/legends stuff, basically authorised fancy published fanfic, and sometimes one of the concepts created in those books/comics/games/role-playing games was made canon by being included in the more official, Lucas-made stuff, or was considered canon by the fanbase because most people were aware of the thing and liked it (like Mara Jade, Luke's wife in the legends timeline, who doesn't exist in canon). Basically if Lucas/Disney made it OR it's super popular it's canon otherwise it's just kind of fanfic that's tolerated as long as it doesn't contradict the canon stuff. I hope that was clear enough lol

So there's the main movies, and after that the most popular movies & shows are The Clone Wars (2008). There was a Clone Wars 2D series in 2003 but we're talking about the 2008 3D film and the following TV series here (though Anakin's design is funky in 2003 CW, but it shows different events because it's a legends series not a canon one). The movie is set at the start of the Clone Wars, a little after episode 2, and it introduces one of the most famous SW characters that's not even mentioned in any of the movies. Ahsoka Tano is Anakin's Padawan, she's a cool looking alien, chatty, she's like 5 years younger than him, and she starts out cringey but the general consensus on her is everyone likes her (that's because her creator, Dave Filoni, was in charge of most of the series, and you can tell he really played favourites with his OCs, and since she's not really a Mary Sue she's just extremely cool). If you're interested in the Prequels era you have to be aware of her at minima. You've probably seen art of her, her design is super cool. Ahsoka appears in TCW, but also in Rebels, the Mandalorian & Book of Boba Fett, and she's going to get her own series this year.

The thing with TCW is the first like, 3 seasons are generally "lighthearted" fluff about Jedi life and the war and the clones (as lighthearted as you get during a war, let's say it doesn't feel Super Serious because you know they all make it), but seasons 4 and 5 are closer to the end of the war and get more serious episodes, and then seasons 6 and 7 I haven't seen yet but they're I presume even less lighthearted and even more plotty. There was also a huge gap in when the seasons came out, which explains the tone differences, notably for S7 which is kind of not about the war anymore but just about Ahsoka and what she does after the Empire's rise I think? I'll give you detailed episodes but at least the episodes people recommend watching are the stuff with (Darth) Maul (you're into men so there's a good chance you will be into him - I'm ace and I regularly experience the closest thing I can to sexual attraction when I see him on screen because they animated him in a very...... in a Way that is. yeah), and then probably the 2/3/4 episode arcs that tell a coherent story (Rako Hardeen, Umbara, Zygerria, the Clovis stuff, the baby Padawans on Illum, 99, the Ahsoka stuff at the end of S5, etc). Personally I think the movie might be worth it to establish the characters, it's not super good but at least that way you have an idea of who's who. Once again I'll give you a list with all the details later, but I'm assuming you're not going to want to watch the like, hundred episodes when a good part of that is 'Ahsoka looses her lightaber and learns an Important Lesson about Patience retrieving it', 'R2 & 3PO go on an errand for three episodes' or 'droids are incompetently looking for a mcguffin for four episodes'. There's like an episode that explains why Chewie and Yoda know each other I think too, so that's neat if you're interested. The short answer is that Yoda fought on Kashyyyk during the war and that's Chewie's planet. I'll bury it here but if you want a good website to watch stuff, r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH has lists of sites that work (I recommend watching/reading SW stuff in english personally)

You mentioned Rogue One and Solo in your ask so I'll talk about these too: Rogue One is generally thought to be really good (at least in my circles?), it's set right before ep4, the characters are good, and generally it's a recommended watch. Personally I liked it, though not as much as other people seemed to, but the central romance is neat, and I cried at the end (and everyone liked Chirrut, for good reasons). Solo is kind of less good, but one of the main characters gave me adult movie Remus vibes in a way, it has a Maul appearance at the end for the people who watched TCW, and it gives unnecessary backstory for Han. Also Donald Glover looks good.

The Mandalorian is I think a pretty good entry point to the universe, at least seasons 1-2, because the main character doesn't know anything about the lore of the universe, so the show explains who's who what's what and all that. That said season three came out a few months ago and I haven't seen that so I don't know how badly they fucked it up, but they already pulled a shitty one on the audience by having like three crucial extremely plot relevant episodes of the show after the climax of S2 happen in another show, The Book of Boba Fett, instead of putting them in S3, so. Yeah. The other animated shows I haven't watched yet, Rebels is apparently really good but in universe it's set after TCW so I want to finish TCW before I get started there (it's been like a year or two since I started TCW, I'm slow), and The Bad Batch get much more mixed reviews so eh, you can see about that one later, it's less important in the general story of the world anyway. Andor was apparently a masterpiece but I can't say cause I haven't seen it. Visions also is a thing, haven't seen it but it's like, anime loosely set in the SW universe? It looks cool. If you're interested in Padawan stuff, there's Tales of the Jedi, which didn't make a lot of waves I think but has episodes focusing on Qui-Gon and episodes focusing on Ahsoka.

I'm going to give it its own paragraph cause in the Obikin sphere (which I am in obviously) this show was a divine miracle but the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, though it got shat on by other fans for being too silly or something, was to me really good. I feel like it really goes in depth with the Anakin-Obi-Wan relationship, and I remember every time an episode dropped my dash would be full of gifs of new interactions and new lines of dialogue of them being absolutely insane about each other canonically for real. It was wild, it was great, it was a fantastic high. It's 6x 1h, so I think it's fairly watchable compared to all the other longer stuff. It's more about the personal relationship between them, as people, but that's inevitably linked to the Master-Padawan relationship too (there's a good scene of them just before the war sparring at the Temple in episode... 4 if memory serves me right).

Then it's going to be mostly legends stuff, and at that level you just need to pick a direction and dig a little. Off the top of my head, here are different niches I've seen people be into/pists of where you might want to look: there's the old Jedi Apprentice books, aimed at a younger audience, that talk about Obi-Wan's padawanship, though they've been made explicitly non-canon by the recent Padawan book by Kiersten White (which was apparently good, and featured the one line where Obi-Wan says he wouldn't mind kissing any of his friend group but wouldn't want to do anything else, which prompted homophobes to explode and The Gays to celebrate even if we knew), or for more Qui-Gon-Obi-Wan stuff, there's the Master & Apprentice book; there's people who are way way into the clones, but that has more of a Marauders fandom vibe because individual clones don't get that much screentime, so you can see people whose fave is the equivalent of Dorcas Meadowes and who just make their own stuff up in their corner; there's the Mandalorians fans, which I personally cannot stand the majority of because most of the legends Mando stuff (that might have been made non-canon by S3 of the Mandalorian?) was written by Karen Traviss, a woman whom I personally do Not vibe with (come back for the rant later if you're interested), but that's a possibility too, you do you; there's the novelisations of the movies, though the only one that I hear about is the ep3 novelisation by Stover which is a really great piece of literature... and also very homoerotic with the Anakin-Obi-Wan relationship; there's the Aftermath trilogy which makes the transition between ep6 and ep7 and explains how we went from no Empire to the First Order, with cool characters (ie Sinjir whom I love and who is canonically if subtly gay); if you're curious about legends stuff and you want to know who Mara Jade and Thrawn are (if you've never heard their names before they're really popular, Thrawn appears in Rebels as well, he's cool and part of a popular ship in the wider fandom) you'll want to read Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn (also introduced the name Coruscant for the capital!). Obviously I am Highly Biased, this is stuff I know off the top of my head, but it should let you explore some different eras and characters. Heir to the Empire (& the rest of the books in that series) is definitely a classic in terms of legends stuff though, if you want to check out the fan favourites.

For comics I don't really read those so you'd have better luck either looking at rec lists online or just wandering around Wookieepedia until you find something that looks cool, but if you just want to read a quick thing, the Age of Star Wars series is neat. It's a series split in the three trilogies eras, and in each era it focuses on 4 heroes and 4 villains. Age of Republic has issues for Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin & Padmé + Maul, Jango, Dooku & Grievous; Age of Rebellion for Leia, Han, Lando & Luke + Tarkin, Boba, Jabba & Vader; Age of Resistance for Finn, Poe, Rose & Rey + Phasma, Hux, Snoke & Kylo. If any of those interest you, you can find them on comics websites (like for example a website that would let you read comic online. for example. cough cough. I'm so subtle.) What I would NOT recommend are the Rise of Kylo Ren comics, they're just... I didn't like the artstyle, I didn't like the way it told the story of Kylo falling to the dark side, I really didn't like the careless way it both makes Kylo's relationship with Snoke worse but also doesn't address it at all, it was a big miss for me, Kylux fanfics do it better. If you're curious it's not a long read though. Can't help you more with comics, I haven't gone there much.

In general if you find a character/planet/species/group/etc that interests you specifically, you can go on Wookieepedia and go down to the appearances section, where you can see all the places that thing appears/is mentioned, in I believe in-universe chronological order.

I don't think canon does a lot of explaining the magic if you will, if it does I don't know where. You can try looking in a specific species' tag on here to check out what other people think of their biology maybe, but yeah I don't really know otherwise. In general canon does a lot of 'that guy's a spider. don't ask. shut up he's a spider that walks on his legs and that's it. no lore no culture no nothing he looks cool and evil. bam. we're killing him next episode anyway' but there are also 'little diagrams of the different parts of a lightsaber' moments (I know there's a drawing in the The Jedi Path book somewhere of the anatomy of Obi-Wan's saber). Good luck with that, I wouldn't know where to find it.

If you have questions you can look at @/gffa's sidebar to check out questions they've answered/what they rec, or ask them directly. They're The ressource for SW stuff in my mind, because they're pretty thorough when they answer I feel like. Once again, Obikin bias, be warned, but maybe they'll know where there's some more scientific stuff? They certainly read more than me haha.

I think that's all, I'm going to write down a non-exhaustive but very long list of TCW episodes I think are neat, with a summary behind to help you quickly decide if it's your jam or not. The order is arbitrary, it's half order of importance half chronological, but there's nothing specific from seasons 6-7, because I haven't seen them yet. (the format is episode number x season number, just in case)

Undoubtedly, the Maul stuff: that's the events of ep 5x16, which rest on eps 1, 14 & 15x5 (the start of the plotline that leads to the events), which themselves rest on eps 19-20-21-22x4 (who are the characters that are important and what are they doing here), but also on eps 12-13-14x2 (who are the other characters and what are they doing here), and on the other episodes where Ventress appears, but you can ignore her, just know that the bald lady with the red lightsabers is Dooku's apprentice early on before they part ways (but she's still a bad guy afterwards)

Random stuff that isn't too heavy: 6-7x1, Anakin looses R2 and goes looking for him; 11-12x1, which has some fun Anakin-Obi-Wan-Dooku banter AND Hondo (everyone likes Hondo); 17-18x1 which have the threat of death hanging over the main characters because of an evil scientist and some cool alien designs; (19-)20-21x1, the Ryloth arc where you can see clones being nice and the Jedi being cool, plus Twi'leks (I put the first episode of the arc in parentheses because it's not necessary to watch it to get the idea of what's going on); 8x2 which is the last part of a 5-ep storyline about mind-controlling brain worms, I recommend it because you'll probably like the interactions between Ahsoka and her friend Bariss + Bariss gets relevant waaay later; 16x2 which has the spider guy I mentioned that I like a lot and a bit at the start where I honest to god thought for a split second Obi-Wan and Anakin were going to kiss; 9x3, it follows 22x1 but you can go in kinda blind, it's just a little buckwild with its characters and I think you'll like Quinlan (if you do he appears more in some books & comics, and he's in fanfics a lot because he and Obi-Wan have a fun dynamic)

The Clovis stuff: Rush Clovis is an ex friend of Padmé that Anakin is really jealous of, he appears in 4x2 (and comes back in 5-6-7x6) and if you want to see Anakin behave like a jealous shit that's a good episode.

The Zillo Beast arc! 18-19x2, includes a big beastie, Palpatine being evil and kicking a dog (the beastie) to prove it, and Anakin's disability being visible. I give it here because it's often a trope in fics to have Palpatine killed by the Zillo Beast but it's not plot significant.

Clones stuff if you're interested: 5x1, with the first appearance of a group of clones that come back later; 10x2, it's part two of a plotline but the interesting clone stuff is mostly just in part two, in it there's an exploration of the clones outside of war (which they have literally been designed and created for); 1-2x3, introduce 99 who's neat and are mostly focused on clones

Padawan Lost arc: 21-22x3, Ahsoka being hunted for sport (literally), she kicks ass, and Chewie + another character I like show up in ep22

the Umbara arc: 7-8-9-10x4, a Jedi General is a real asshole to the clones we like, it's a little heavier and you can feel the transition from lighthearted start of the war stuff to the more depressing stuff that comes afterwards

the Zygerria arc: 11-12-13x4, the arc in which Obi-Wan gets hit & injured every episode I think, with cool designs because there's more Togruta and they look cool (warning though the Zygerrians are slavers, they enslave people). There's a cool moment at the end for Rex if you end up liking him (he's Anakin & Ahsoka's clone captain and one of the most important clones)

the Rako Hardeen arc: 15-16-17-18x4, more Obi-Wan violence! it's one of the arcs Obikin tumblr doesn't shut up about because basically Obi-Wan fakes his death and doesn't tell Anakin. It could have been better but it's trying something for sure

the Onderon stuff: 2-3-4-5x5, it's Ahsoka dealing with Romance (a little bit, the character she has Romance stuff with is already established from earlier seasons but you don't need to know him, just know he has a history with Ahsoka and he used to be a Separatist, ie on the wrong side) and I think you could like Steela & Saw Gerrera? Saw appears in Rogue One later on, but he's from TCW. The arc is about helping him, his sister and their people regain control of their planet.

the younglings: 6-7-8-9x5, little Jedi kiddos who go on their first big adventure to get their lightsaber crystal and then have to fight to come back home. They're really cute, the droid is voiced by David Tennant, and you can see Hondo in the last episode I think.

and finally, the arc you also gotta watch because it explains why Ahsoka isn't mentioned in ep3 when she was Anakin's Padawan and this boy gets attached way too fast: 17-18-19-20x5, which begins with Ahsoka and Anakin investigating a bombing in the Jedi Temple and ends with Ahsoka leaving. I put off watching it for so long because it's sad :(((

probably also the rest of the seasons, but you'll have to look at Wookieepedia descriptions to see if something sounds interesting (if I were you I'd focus on the Ahsoka stuff later on, apparently she does some cool interesting stuff). Wookieepedia has pages for every season and every episode with short & detailed summaries.

That'll be all, congrats on reading all that, ask me about stuff if you want I love never shutting up about this, I have discord if you want to chat, please give me impressions if you do end up watching/reading anything. Good luck with this monstrosity of a list lol.

Hello! I have a little angsty request that ends in fluff if that’s okay. One day Levi has to go on a mission and leave his S/O alone at home, while he’s gone someone breaks into their house and stabs her & when Levi comes home she’s on the floor slowly bleeding out. Levi’s freaking and begging her to stay with him; she ends up being okay but he’s still so shook up and never letting her out of his sight. and she’s traumatized by it too and has nightmares but they help each other stay strong and get through it

You lot love your angst. I do write a lot of it on Ao3 if I'm honest. Just ask anyone reading my current one and they'll tell you I'm a little bit evil. I always do happy endings though. I am happy to do this as well! I thought about this in cannon world, but, likely, he wouldn't come home in time. So, I'll put it in modern or future. I have a future addiction. Hmmm....let's go future AU!

Nothing without you.

Pairing: Levi x reader.

Genre and tags: Married couple, Levi is a detective, loving couple, the reader is attacked, Levi hears the attack, angst, Levi and reader are scared, the reader is stabbed, the reader gets better, nightmares, Levi comforts you, future AU, happy ending.

Concept: While Levi is out on a mission concerning a serial killer, he sees a message at the crime scene hinting that the killer is going after you. Levi calls you up and talks to you about protecting yourself, but the killer attacks you. Levi hears you over the phone fight for your life against the killer. Levi races home to you to find you bleeding out on the floor and the killer knocked out. Levi calls for backup and stays with you while you wait for help. After healing up, you suffer from nightmares and panic attacks due to anxiety over the incident, but Levi protects you and comforts you.

Levi got out of his car, then walked to the scene of the crime with Hange. The two of them were partners in the police department and they worked well together. He looked at his communicator to see a message from Commissioner Erwin about the report. "Tch, our killer is back - the titan."

Hange looked at the report on her comms. "Fascinating person, but horrific in their ways."

Levi gritted his teeth. "They're a piece of shit and should just die."

Hange smiled. "You're right. You talked to your wife about kids yet?"

Levi blushed hard. "No, not yet, but I've seen her gazing at baby clothes in shops."

"I think you two would make great parents." She walked up to Connie. "What we got?"

Connie glanced at Levi, then to Hange. "Not good. There's a threat."

Levi let out a long sigh. "That doesn't scare me." He walked past and looked at the scene. He froze when he saw there was a photo on a removed heart with a knife through. Levi backed up as he muttered your name as dread filled him. He tapped his comms. "I have to get home, now!"

As Levi found the threat, you were juggling with a paper shopping bag with a few things in for a nice romantic dinner with Levi. You unlocked the door, then kicked the door behind you. You placed the bag on the side, then stretched and clicked your joints. You started putting everything away, but your communicator went off.

You smiled at Levi's name, then tapped it. "Hello, my darling, handsome and wonderful husband. How are you?"

Levi relaxed at hearing your voice. He softly said your name as he drove through the city with Hange. "I need you to lock up the apartment right now."

You frowned and walked to the balcony to see the doors were open, just like you left them. "Why?"

"Just do as I say!"

You closed the doors and locked them. "Okay, but it'd be nice if you told me what was going on. I'm very confused."

Levi yanked the car down another sky road. "Lock up, please. Grab a knife too."

You hurried over to the kitchen to see a man standing by the front door. "Who are you and why are you in my house?"

Levi shouted your name. "Lock yourself in the bathroom!"

The intruder brandished a knife. "I'm titan. Your husband has been a pain in my ass. I've been trying to carve up and make people better, but he's been making it more and more difficult." He stepped closer. "So, I'm going to turn his sweet wife into a work of art." He licked his knife. "I bet your blood and insides will look perfect."

You grabbed a pan from the side and smacked him around the head with it causing a clang to ring out. You raised it above your head and went to slam it down, but he caught it before you could. You kicked him right between the legs sending him to his knees. You ran into the kitchen and pulled a knife out of the knife slot.

Titan grabbed the front of your neck, then threw you over the counter and cried out as he did. You screamed and smacked against the floor as pain shot through your spine. Titan stormed over to you with blood trickling down his head from the pan.

Titan snarled at you. "You fucking bitch!" He grabbed your ankle as you went to kick him. He yanked you close. "I'm gonna gut you like a pig!" He pinned you by your neck, then held his knife up. "You better squeal."

You clawed at his face, then shoved your thumb into his eye making him scream. You slammed your knee into his gut, then crawled backwards from him as Levi was shouting your name through the comms. You gasped when you felt something hit you in the stomach. You looked down to see titan had stabbed you in the stomach. You yelped when he yanked the knife back out of you. You felt something hot and wet seep out of you, then pour.

Titan grinned at you. "So beautiful!" He laughed. "Once I'm done painting the walls with your blood." He watched you crawl backwards on the floor causing a trail of blood. "I'm going to torture your husband about it, then cut him up slowly."

You gritted your teeth, then reached behind and grabbed the lamp. You smashed it over his head. "Stay the FUCK away from my husband!" You turned the lamp around, then hit him in the head over and over with the heavy part. You stopped hitting when he stopped moving. You crawled away and panted. "Fucker." You flopped back on the floor as hot tears ran down your cheeks. "I need." You winced and placed your hand on your wound. "Shit." You gulped hard as you felt weak. "Levi."

Levi pulled up his car, then ran out of his car and through the apartment block and to his and your place. He kicked his door open and froze when he saw you on the floor holding your stomach. Levi shouted your name, then ran over to you. "Talk to me!"

You opened your eyes and smiled weakly at Levi. "Levi."

He pressed his hand onto your wound. "Stay with me, okay?"

You reached up with a bloodied hand and cupped the side of his face. "I...love...you..."

"I love you too." He looked to Hange as she cuffed titan. "Where is our backup!?"

Hange tapped on her comms. "ETA one minute. Just keep pressure on her wound."

"I'm already fucking doing that!"

"Levi." You gulped and shivered as you felt cold. "Don't fight."

Levi looked back at you. "I'm sorry. Just stay with me." He welled up. "Stay with me."

You smiled at him. "It'll be okay." You panted a little and felt tired. "It'll be okay."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Levi helped you into your new apartment he'd bought while you were in hospital. He'd had everything moved over with the help of his friends. It was in a safe area of the city with higher security to give you and him a piece of mind. It was bigger, comfier, welcoming and a place you could really call home.

Levi locked the door, then ran to the kitchen and started making you a cup of tea. "Just take a look around and then relax. Don't push yourself too much."

You hummed a laugh. "I'm fully healed Levi. I'm okay."

"I know, but be careful."

You smiled, then inspected the apartment and enjoyed the spare rooms for potential children and a wonderful garden balcony big enough for kids to play on and be safe. You went back to the living room and jumped when Levi approached you so quietly.

Levi put his hand up not holding your tea. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you jump."

You smiled at him to reassure him. "It's okay." You took your tea from him. "Thank you for the tea."

Levi kissed your cheek and hummed as he did. "You're welcome."

You giggled at how sweet your husband was. "You're so wonderful to me."

"Because you're my wife and I love you." He cupped the side of your face. "I love you so much."

You leaned over and kissed him. "I love you too." You walked to the sofa and sat down with a sigh. "It's good to be home. You chose well."

Levi sat next to you and put his arm around you. He gave you a little squeeze. "I'm glad you like this place." He kissed the top of your head. "It's a perfect place for a new start."

You snuggled up to Levi and hummed. "It is." You finished your tea as Levi watched the tv. You placed your cup down, then hugged Levi's side. "Warm comfy husband."

Levi blushed a little, then smiled softy. He wrapped his arms around you and hugged you against him. Levi played with your hair as he kept watching tv. He had a little smile on his face. He frowned a little when you moved in his arms. He looked down at you to see you pulling faces in your sleep, then you started shaking and whining.

Levi called your name and cupped your face. "Wake up darling, wake up."

You gasped and opened your eyes, then you welled up. "Levi."

Levi hugged your tightly. "It's okay. I'm right here for you. It's just a dream. He can't hurt you anymore."

You sniffed and clung to your husband. You held him until the claws of your nightmare let go of you. You sighed, then pulled back from Levi. "Thank you."

Levi kissed you over and over. "I won't let anyone hurt you again. I promise you."

You smiled at him as your heart fluttered in happiness. "I know Levi. I know. I lived because you taught me self-defence. So, thank you."

Levi blushed a little. "Tch, you're welcome brat."

You kissed him making him smile. "You're going to be a great father someday."

Levi's eyes had a little twinkle to them at hearing such wonderful news. "You think so?"

You nodded. "I know you will. Let's just wait until the doctors say my knife wound is okay."

Levi nodded. "Of course, my love." He kissed your cheek right under your eye making you hum. "Anything for you."
