sometimes i think that max might be jealous of mike's perfect family.

because from an outside perspective, that's what it is, right?

it's mike with his older sister who is cool and badass and not a horrible person, with his parents still together, with his two perfect siblings in his perfect suburban house.

and jealousy always hits that much harder when someone you don't like has everything you ever wanted (right?). lucas has his happy family, but she's happy for him.

when she sees mike, she just sees someone who doesn't appreciate everything he has. and when he complains about his dad, her hands ball into fists. (because he's just ungrateful, right?)

(because people only see what they want to see.)

Secrets Out

So, this is inspired by @celerywrites Jason fic, that’s also inspired by their fic of the reader figuring out Dick is Nightwing. So a bit o chatting, and I got an OK to write something similar, but of the reader figuring out Jason is Red Hood. Anyway, here it is! I like how it turned out but I hope that y’all like it too!

Reader is trans-masc (FTM) in this so yeah. Enjoy me ever taking a crack at DC writing and I do got another one in the works that is crossover base.

Don’t forget to like, reblog, and follow if ya wanna see more! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

Ever since that night when Jason took you to meet his family, things have been going well from that point. Dick being the helpful goofball he is, Tim is always figuring things out (which admittedly makes you a little nervous as you try to save him from his horrendous coffee addiction). Cass thankfully warmed up to you and liked doing small, simple things with you like puzzles or Tetris. Steph, on the other hand, is like Dick but more hyper. Her sass is on point, though, so you give her credit for that. Then there are ones like Duke and Damian. Duke is a bit reserved, but some nudging here and there, and you learned he has a liking for sunrises and sunsets. But at a low cost of sleep since he has school. Damian is. Well. Jason and the others are right to say that the young Wayne is a demon, but you learned he has a thing for animal memes. Seeing as he has a dog, a cat, and a cow (which still baffles you). So you get why he likes animal memes. The day Tim called a family meeting to the main living space confused you all. That was till he announced he has a boyfriend and, moreso, he is bisexual. Steph outed herself that she also might be bi but currently is questioning a bit. Seeing these two come out to the entire family honestly gave you a boost of confidence despite the spike of nervousness. So you had raised your hand, waited for the silence, then came clean about being transgender but haven't gone through top surgery yet. By the looks on their faces, they were shocked. Hell, Tim moreso since he couldn't even tell you even had a binder on at all. And he's one of the smarter ones. But the amount of support that was shown chased away all fears you had. You could tell Jason was relieved as well by how his shoulders relaxed since he was afraid he was going to have to crack a few skulls. What was great about coming out finally was how they were ready to help you get an appointment set up. - The day came. Nervous as you were, excitement made your body vibrate. Jason had something to do in the meantime, but he promised he'd do his best to escape whatever Bruce has him doing and be there for you. He couldn't drop you off either, so you had a taxi hailed, and you were well on your way to the Gotham hospital. An explosion went off. The jeweler shop known for having the most extensive collection of many gemstones was seen with none other than the infamous Catwoman. Following her was Baby-Doll. Guess it must be a girls' night out or something for them to be teaming up for some precious stones. The explosion caused a chain reaction and set off the restaurant right next to the jeweler. Gas pipes exploded, making it a lot bigger than anyone expected. It was good that the restaurant was closed, so no one died, but the force of it made for the taxi you're in to flip and crash into another car. You had blacked out a bit, then came to with your ears ringing loudly. There were muffled voices that you could barely make out from the pounding headache you now have and how your pulse was racing in your ears. "--check that--eople inside!" What? There was people where? "Red! Come--I think this is--" Two sets of feet clambered onto the side of the taxi you were in. Two sets of hands came down to take hold of the bent door when you cracked your eyes open. One pair is black with the middle and ring fingers blue, and the other looking like durable black gloves with metal plating on the knuckles. With the creaking of metal, grunts from the hands' owners, the door popped off and was tossed aside. The padded black gloves were quick to draw out a knife and cut away the strap of the seat belt that held you in. You managed to catch a glimpse of a red head: Shiny. A helmet. This figure pulled you out once freed, and you were met with an incredibly warm body with strong arms that held you close. But there was something about how you were held as this red helmet-wearing figure ran. Something familiar. Secure. Yet gentle as if afraid holding on too tight would cause pain. No one at the Gotham hospital expected to see the Red Hood charging in and frantically asking for help. A gurney was brought out immediately, and you were placed down on it. A whine left you at the loss of heat. You had got accustomed to it along with the sound of a heart beating quickly under your head. Reed Hood hushed you gently despite the way his helmet distorts his voice, a hand gently caressing the side of your face as he whispered out how you're going to be ok, how the doctors are going to take care of you. - You had blacked out again at some point, all thought seeming void in your head. When you came to, you saw Jason sitting in a chair beside the bed you're in, both hands encasing yours as his lips grazed over your knuckles. You could barely make out what he was saying, but it was easy to tell he was silently begging whatever cosmic forces not to let you fade. "Jas...son...?" He jumped. Sea green eyes locked onto you. You hate to say it, but it's a first to see the usually obnoxious, sometimes crude, book nerd cry. A hand still held yours as he stood up a bit to place his other hand on the side of your face, cautious of the stitching on your cheek. "Hey... I... I thought I was gonna lose you there..." He gave a half-hearted chuckle, but the slow formation of bags under his eyes and how his hair looked more of a mess told you he hadn't gained a wink of sleep. You could only manage a small smile since your throat felt like sandpaper, but something else occupied your mind when Jason had leaned forward to press his lips gently to your forehead and muttered about how you're ok. "Did...you s...ave me...?" "What? No... It was Nightwing and Red Hood that did. And I think I saw Batman and Robin too..." Your nose wrinkled up a bit as your eyes scanned over him as he sat back down. Putting what bit of detective knowledge Tim taught you, seeing a skin-tight black turtleneck on him under his gray zip-up hoodie seemed off. Withdrawing your hand from his, you reached for the zipper. "Um... Look, I'd hate to stop you, despite how much I'd love to rail you-" He mumbled a bit, "But what are you doing?" You didn't pay attention as you got a hold of the tab and tugged it down. You only got to get a peek of something red on his shirt that reminded you of one of those stretched-out V's that kids draw for birds before Jason stopped you. Eyes ended up locking together as your entire face scrunched up. "A hero doesn't hold a civilian with such tenderness like a lover," You rasped out, pausing to draw in a breath. "There's only a secure hold. Tell me. Was that you that saved me?" All Jason could do was avert his gaze from you. He released your wrist from the hold he had it in as if allowing for you to continue your mini-investigation. But you didn't. You pressed your whole palm to his chest, fingers splayed out as a weak chuckle found its way from you. "What's so funny..?" "Nothing. Just... I consider myself lucky to be not only saved but to be dating the Red Hood." How those beautiful sea-green eyes snapped back to you, wide like saucers before closing as an exasperated sigh left him. The corners of his mouth twitched up a bit as he gave you a defeated yet amused look on his face. "Yeah? Whatchu' gotta say about it?" "Thaaaaat, I can probably tell that makes Nightwing Grayson. No doubt is Bruce-" You stop yourself at that, but the thought was there. "So that then makes Damian being Robin, and Tim is Red Robin." Jason nodded. "Yup. Duke is the Signal, Cass is the Orphan, and Steph is the Spoiler." Now it was you that nodded as he listed off the rest. You were glad that your throat was so torn that your volume never raised for anyone to hear. That was till you started coughing, and the vigilante got up and brought over one of those tiny paper cups seen in waiting rooms of offices. He helped you take sips of it before setting it down on the bedside table. "I am surprised, though. All those times I would talk endlessly about you lot, you played it off pretty well without giving anything away." "Well, we gotta. Learned from Bruce on how not to babble like children about who we are." You two ended up talking in hushed voices about the family's double lives they live. It went on for what felt like hours till you had drifted off into sleep. Jason could only find himself smiling at how relaxed you look when asleep. He scooted the chair he's in closer before resting his head on his arms, his hand resting over yours as he let sleep overcome him.

another platonic madwheeler oneshot? i mean what else do you expect from me.

the boy's bathroom

“Christ, fine,” said the blond, dropping his hands from where he’d still had Mike pinned against the wall. “Fucking freaks,” he muttered as he passed by her. The comment didn’t even sting. Then her and Mike were alone, in the boys’ bathroom, and he was rubbing at the side of his chest. Max cleared her throat, shoved her hands into her pockets. “You’re welcome,” she tried, a halfhearted attempt at getting the mood back to the snarky back-and-forths she and Mike usually shared. It didn’t work. … max finds herself cutting in between mike and some random dickheads. that part was easy. but how is she supposed to comfort mike wheeler?

a fic about bullying and anxiety and how sometimes, you just don't know how to help

I suspect this will be a lot of umbrella academy fics, but let's see...

fic with the most hits: your brother says hello (goodbye). yep, it's umbrella academy. 7,094 hits. this is actually the first fic I posted on ao3 that's still linked to my account. it's incredibly self-indulgent and really set the tone for my whole ✨️ vibe ✨️

second most kudos: a study in times of death. 863 kudos. still umbrella academy. I really went off with the flowery language in this one

third most comments: a study in times of death again (33 comment threads) (I guilted readers into commenting by offering them strawberries) (lots of lovely people had lots to say about my flowery language)

fourth most bookmarks: fight or flight (umbrella academy, 195 bookmarks, me playing around with klaus' powers while pretending to have a plot because the show refused to do either)

fifth most words: your brother says hello (goodbye) again. 6,193 words, which is less than it should be in my head

least words: small measure of freedom (avatar: the last airbender, me waxing poetic about the earthbender mindset with toph beifong as an example for 420 words). I wrote this one in my tumblr drafts as a fandom post then decided to make it an actual fic instead

"I yelled at you," Mike said plaintively, "On your birthday." And that—Will froze. He sucked in a breath, and just held it, unsure of what else to do. Shakily, after a second, he let it out again. "You… you remembered?" He barely breathed out, light flickering to life within his chest.
