ONE THOUSAND HITS.

gods. I never thought I'd hit this milestone; with any story I've created. personally, I've struggled with sharing my art with others; out of some strange, irrational fear.

this idea—for The Intertwined Fate of Wine and Riches— started because I'd seen the show get announced to start filming back in 2022.

It has cycled so many different versions since then. So many pitches to friends, people I thought were friends. Characters developed, or scrapped. Arcs and ideas that will never see the light of day, all forged into this story.

and the craziest thing is we're barely getting started. You've barely seen the half of what our favorites go through.

Thanks for reading, my friends. make sure you have tissues and emotional support plushies near by. things are about to get wild.

this is absolutely mad, completely insane to me. Thank you, genuinely.

*Cracks knuckles*

I got this. Since I use a modern timeline for Grayson and you've used the books timeline, I guess this can be an AU where Steph is in Grayson's timeline? mostly bc it's one I know. For posterity, Steph will be older than Grayson mostly bc she is I think. Math sucks idk. also I'mma write this from 3rd pov Grayson bc I know him better and I don't wanna screw up characterizing Steph. also this is my writing exercise of the day. woo!

Let's call this....

First Meetings

Enjoy!

Grayson arrived to Camp with no other issues, finding himself rather excited to get on with the new things he was learning about. Stuff like Pegasus riding and combat training.

Walking into the cozy cabin 12, Harper gestured haphazardly around to things. twin beds with silk sheets, two of which were definitely taken. a bathroom with very unusual decorations. Grayson quietly took it all in as Harper pointed to someone he didn't notice at first. She lounged on her bed, a book in hand.

"This is Stephanie. she's our sister." Harper grinned, gently pushing the pudgy 13 year old towards the quiet girl. "Steph, say hi to our baby brother." Stephanie looked up from her book, her green eyes searching Grayson's purple ones.

She didn't look like him or Harper, Grayson noticed. her brown hair was tied back, with loose pieces framing her face. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood, standing nearly a half-foot taller than him.

"Welcome to cabin 12," she said, sticking a hand out to shake it. "what's your name?" Grayson took her hand, smiling nervously as he shook it.

"Grayson," he said as she nodded. "Grayson Bailey." She looked at Harper, a smile forming on her face.

"he got here with Luke, Annabeth, and Morticia." Harper explained. "Remember the kid that was passed out?" Steph made an 'oh' sound and nodded a second time, crossing her arms. "Yeah, the one dad talked to us about."

"right," Steph looked down at Grayson. "Mr. D explained your situation to us before you woke up. it's nice to finally meet you." Grayson frowned for a moment, watching Steph return to her book.

"Mr. D told you about me?" Harper nodded, sitting on the floor by her bed; grabbing something from beneath it. as she looked up at the fidgeting 13 year old, she held yarn and a pair of knitting needles in hand.

"He warned us," Steph said. "That you might be a little closed off. Nothing too personal."

"Oh," Grayson sighed. "Well, I-I, uhm... Well, It is nice to meet you both." he cursed a bit, his stutter causing more issues. "Where can I sleep?"

"over there," Harper pointed to the only other bed with purple sheets. "you can decorate it how you want. like Steph said, Welcome to cabin 12."

Okay this feels terrible, if you wanna write a version for like, writing exercise go ahead! I tried my best. Grayson's story and Steph's story are very drastically different; I love that about them. also if i mischaracterized Steph i am so so sorry.

i have a weird question but....

If i attempted to write steph meeting my oc Grayson (he's a dionysus kid) would you 1) be okay with it and 2) want to see it?

Sure! and if you want to share, yeah!

[alrighttherescarhead]

Imagine you're having a water birth with Grayson:

“AHH- I can't I can't I can’t” you wail, gripping tightly onto each of Grayson's arms. You were sure to leave nail indents but gray didn't care at all. All he cares about is you and your baby that was now making it's way into the world.

“you’ve got this sweetheart” he coos into your ear from behind you. “relax for a sec- breathe-”

“I WANT THIS FUCKING BABY OUTTA ME” you screech, letting go of this forearms and flipping around to kneel with your legs spread wide. You throw an arm around grays neck and rest your forehead against his shoulder as your free hand goes down in-between your legs.

You start pushing again and let out a cry. “I HATE YOU AND YOUR MASSIVE FUCKING HEAD”

To say that Gray felt bad was an understatement. “‘m so sorry I-”

“Shut the fuck up!” you snap, startling the poor boy.

She doesn’t mean it, she’s just in pain Grayson repeatedly told himself, watching your whole body tense as you begin to push, again.

Your arm, that's around graysons neck, tightens as an agonising pain shoots throughout your body, causing you to scream.

“FUUUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!” You cry.

After a few seconds you were able to catch a tiny breather. “No more babies- please? I can’t handle it, it’s too painfu- AHHHHH!” It was short-lived.

Grayson agreed, nodding his head hastily. He doesn't think he can see you go through this type of pain ever again.

“I got it, sweetheart. No more babies- no more babies” he reassures you, brushing your sweaty hair back out of your face.

Dick Grayson is giving me some George Bailey vibes. They both don't know how many lives they've touched and made better by their presence.

I don't think I have the skill for this, but I'd love to read 'It's A Wonderful Life' Batfam au where Dick gets real low and thinks everything would be better if he’d never been born. Then he gets to see what that would be like and just how devastating the world would truly be.

Creeksbrey Ballroom | Umbrage, SimDonia

After a quick cocktail hour in the hall, the guests returned to the ballroom which was transformed into a beautiful reception. Guests enjoyed dinner, dancing, and of course more wedding festivities. The newlywed couple had their first dance, cut their cake, and enjoyed time with family.

👗 for Ricki in the first chapter of OWtFotD, or for Bailey's usual choice of outfits please?

I'll do both!

Ricki:

Bailey:

sporty girly vibes!!! I'm heavily inspired by Cloe from Bratz for her lol

[paladin-of-nerd-fandom65]

1: What "fictional place" would the duo act out when they play? Like medieval times with wizards & dragons, modern secret spy place (metal gear solid) or outer space defeating aliens. Etc

2: When playing cowboys (stand off), who gets shot first? Or since they are Star Wars fans, who's Han Solo & who's greedo? XD

3: What type of story and/or map(s) would you create for the duo, Jon & mar'i, in a COD zombie type game?

4: Who would be "uno" in a game of uno between the duo, mar'i, and the supersons?

5: You know how there is versus matches between popular characters for plot reasons (Batman vs Superman, Godzilla vs Kong etc) how would the duo get into a fight? Maybe mind control?

I would like to say thanks for answering my amazing questions for the past 9 months (wow, been that long). Really glad to see your universe improved (especially Chris and Jake)

For now, I’m going to stop (don’t worry I’m still around to chat and tag you in stuff XD) cause

1: kinda hard to ask what type of questions to say and remembering if I asked a question already

2: we kinda do chat about stuff almost everyday

Until I figure out more, see you later buddy! (Flies away on nimbus from dragon ball XD)

💙💜💙

Sorry if it took a long time to get this my friend @pin-crusher2000 but after much looking over and consideration, here shall be my answers ;-)

1) Oh too easy; either ancient Kryptonian and Tamaranean warriors from their history, fighting against their numerous enemies whether it be the Gordanians played by their plushies or even each other as a fair duel, so basically Space warriors OR As a Royal Prince and his Bodyguard Knight against demons and enemy knights like in a fantasy world akin to D&D

2) Chris = Han Solo

Jake = Greedo

and yes Han Blasts Greedo First

3) Okay So, the Kents and Graysons would find themselves waking up in a corrupted and twisted version of Bludhaven, swarming with hordes of the red eyed Undead, hellhounds, Demoniac Bats, and even Three Headed Canines (functionally the latter two are akin to the Parasites and Margwas). They have their superpowers albeit severely dampened and diminished to which they can only take down at most the zombies at the same time before they need to strike again.

The basic story is that before being sent here, the four were tipped on what was a summoning ritual by some cultists who were trying to summon Trigon, likely led by Brother Blood and while they prevent Trigon himself from coming out, the spell was corrupted and activated anyways so now it’s up to our heroes to gathered enough of their strength and find the source of these demonic Zombies in order to escape this Hell. Guiding them though would be one young voice; a girl who sounds no older than Mar’i but intelligent and willing to help them as they traverse this hellish city in exchange for also helping her, wherever she may be. This ancient evil beyond their imagination summoned by those cultists and their sins was invited and she concludes there’s far more to them than this…how their very world maybe even their multiverse itself is now in danger and they can stop it with her…..her name is Samantha, she’s going to tell them how all of this really began.

While not exactly Wonder Weapons in the traditionally sense, the Mystery Box would grant our heroes gauntlets, capes, headbands like what Chris and Mar’i wear and other accessories which do grant them enhanced powers that function like them. One gauntlet Jake can equip on his gloves can cause a chain reaction electric shock to the Zombies he punches a la the Wunderwaffe DG2. The map itself while a sprawling city with a central hub in the City Square with branching areas including the Dockyards, Downtown, the Suburbs, Bludhaven Stadium and the Pack A Punch location being Titans Tower, has numerous Kino/Der Riese style walkways, barriers and corridors allowing players to vary their play styles whether it be camping, training or going with the flow.

So yeah basically a combination of Mob of the Dead, Shadows of Evil and Maur der Toten with a tiny pinch of Origins

I shall dub this Map;

Jugend der Untoten (Youth of the Undead)

4) Mar’i; she trounces all of the boys without any fail but doesn’t cheat. Her secret is to always get rid of her cards that have the lowest number first

5) hmmm……

Christopher Kent, Nightwing Phantom VS Son Gohan

Jakand’r, Jacob Grayson, Skybird VS Bailey Briggs, The Amazing Spider Boy*

Oh I say maybe Inter-dimensional Tournament which puts their respective worlds at risk of destruction should they lose. Naturally all these combatants would ally to overturn the rules and save their worlds together as a team

(Yes he’s a real character ;-) )

Thanks for the asks again Buddy

[trafficlightsarethenewkickass]

Now, I love Jason not giving a fuck about how he talks. But consider; this man says bamboozled unironically. This is one of those losers (I, too, am one of these losers) that will use slang one second and in the next either subconsciously begin utilizing words that far surpass the ineloquence of terms such as 'skibidi', 'yeet', 'rad', ect., or just try to sound dramatic as heck. Sometimes he says Shakespeare quotes out of pocket just to confuse everyone around him. Sometimes he goes, "you are such a [insert character from a book he read in fourth grade]" and everyone else goes "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?" despite knowing that no trial of the body, mind, or soul will convince him to give you any context. Sometimes he uses words completely wrong, and no one can tell if it was on purpose or not.

Examples:

Robin!Jason: Ugh, you are being such a 16yo Alex Bailey right now. You don't even have mirror dust for an excuse.

Dick "Anger Issues" Grayson: what.

Jason: Oh, look! You're already calmer :D I'm such a good Conner.

Dick "Will Eat Unknown Particles Because HE WANTS TO CONFIRM" Grayson: Jason. What does that mean? JASON-

Red Hood!Jason *talking to a goon*: Like, lowkey, his rizz is nonexistent.

Robin!Tim *in despair*: NO

Jason: He truly hast no charming ability with which to endear himself to anyone, especially those for which he would have romantic intent. I do believe the modern term is something akin to "rizzless".

Tim: HOW IS THAT WORSE!?

(The goon slowly backs away as Red Hood and Robin have their third catfight that day. It starts with Robin nailing Red Hood in the guts with his bo, and Red Hood shouting "YOU LITTLE-")

Jason *justifying murder*: -of course, I completely understand why some people's delicate sensibilities lead them to being spineless fucking chickens with the personality of a wet paper bag. That's why I'm here to take out the trash.

Cass *seething*: Sometimes I wish I hadn't run into that psychic just so I couldn't comprehend you talking.

Jason: L. M. A. O.

Cass: ...................RUN

Jason: *Fucking sprints*

Koriand'r: Dick? What's a "Ann-with-a-E?"

Dick: *pulling out his hair* I DON'T KNOW!

Dick: Wait, he's said that to you too?

Kori: And to Roy. Then he changed his mind and called Roy your "mid-stages Gilbert."

Dick:!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

Baby!Jason *helping Alfred in the garden*: Gasp! We're totally Mary and Dickon!

Alfred, who knows exactly what Jason's talking about: Oh? Then who is Bruce?

Jason *without hesitation*: Colin. Dick is Ben Weatherstaff.

Alfred: *suprised laughter*

Bruce *trying to patch up a very woozy Red Hood who keeps hissing at him*: Stay awake.

Jason: '...for in that sleep of death what dreams may come?'

Bruce *on comms*: Medivac. NOW.

Jason like the day after getting out of the pit: *picks up Damian and spins* 'Pray thee, Rosalind, sweet my coz, be merry!'

Toddler!Damian, looking at Talia: Are you sure you fixed him? Are you sure.

Talia: ...

Talia: He's your new English tutor.

Damian: *as horrified as a four year old can be*

12yo!Damian: That was the worst moment of my life.
