TAG ROULETTE ROUND UP

Hello good people of Tumblr! On the Marvel/DC Crossover Server ( @dc-marvel-crossovers ) I recently (it's been like a month but time is fake) hosted a "Tag Roulette" event where people who signed up received eight randomly generated tags and had to incorporate at least five of them into a fic. Fics could be any crossover as long as Marvel or DC was included (but obviously most tended to do something with both!)

There were a total of twelve participants and they blew it out of the park! Please check out the works below and give them some love! Thanks so much to everyone for playing along with my silly little challenges! You're the best!

still bright against the worrying sky by 429_CarCrash ( @carcrash429 ): ~1k, Marvel/DC/Stargate Atlantis, General Audiences, NAWA, Bucky Barnes/Ronon Dex/Jason Todd & Pepper Potts/Tony Stark

Jarvis wasn't expecting the confrontation in the lab, but that didn't make it unwelcome to witness.

This Is Not Jurassic Park by ArtaxLivs ( @artaxlivs): ~3k, Marvel/Godzilla, Mature, NAWA, Bucky Barnes/Clint Barton

Love is pretty rare. So are kaiju.

keep the jukebox paid 'til we both go broke by bittercape ( @bittercape): ~3k, DC/Marvel, Teen and Up, NAWA, Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne & Tim Drake/Jason Todd

Apparently there's been Mothman sightings around the Gotham area, which has resulted in Loud Blond coming to look for himself, Big Blond tagging along because why not, and Grumpy Cat being supremely grumpy about being forced to cross the border into Jersey. Jason makes a note to himself to take a couple of extra steps to make Grumpy Cat's stay just a little bit worse, if the opportunity presents itself. And then Loud Blond says the magical words. "I want to prove that Mothman is Batman."

Clark and Pepper, sitting in a...Tower by illogicalkat: ~2k, Marvel/DC, Teen and Up, NAWA, Clark Kent/Pepper Pots

“How bad is it?” Pepper asks. “Worse than we imagined."

Opus 72 (tag roulette) by ivvic ( @betrayedbycinnamon) : ~5k words, Marvel/DC Crossover, Teen and Up Audiences, NAWA, Bucky Barnes/Clint Barton & Clint Barton/Jason Todd

Jason is on life support.

That sounds ominous by Just_Bill ( @bill-longbow ): ~5k words, Marvel/DC/Dora the Explorer/X-Men Crossover, General Audiences, NAWA, Many characters

Hal laughs, and kindly pats Jason on his metal shoulder. "Alfred sure knows how to throw a party, doesn't he?" "Nothing too grand to celebrate 300 years of Wayne Enterpises," Jason huffs. "On All Hallows' eve." Hal snatches a truffle bruschetta and savours the taste with his eyes closed. "And a triple conjunction, yeah. Party fun times."

more than just a ghost in the machine by okaythislooksbad ( @o-kaythislooksbad): ~3k, Marvel/DC, Teen and Up, NAWA, Nebula & Midnighter

Nebula has been aware of the Bleed, the time-space between universes known and unknown (ironically enough, it never seems to operate near Knowhere) since she could walk, and it certainly lives up to its name. It's odd that Quill, for all of his supposed travels, hasn't encountered it before with the Ravagers or while on the run from the Nova Corps.

shivers down my spine by PandaMoth ( @returnofbogmoth): ~3k words, Marvel/DC crossover, Not Rated, NAWA, for Dick Grayson/Loki

Jason dies, and Dick does researches the way Jason once had, slipping into the shadows of allies, knocking on bricks and opening doors that didn’t exist. He pays in blood and wishes and promises, trades holy stones and magic plants and his one goddamn heart for a solution, a prayer, a chance. 

There’s a Serial Killer On the Loose (And it’s the Event of the Year!) by Reremouse (TheBelfry) ( @reremouse): ~6k, DC/Good Omens, Teen and Up, NAWA, Roy Harper/Jason Todd

Jason just wants to get the job over with, go home, and get out of his tux. Roy also wants to just get this job over with and get Jason out of his tux. And go home, too. At some point.

Betting On Us by River9Noble: ~3k, Marvel, DC, Explicit, NAWA, Natasha Romanov/John Constantine & Clint Barton/Jason Todd

Look, Natasha never said it was a good idea. It was a fun idea, and those were rarely good - especially for someone who found as few things in life fun as she did. (Written for DC/Marvel Crossovers Tag Roulette Challenge)

spirited back (whether you like it or not) SafelyCapricious (me): ~1k words, Marvel/DC Crossover, Mature, No Archive Warnings apply, for Natasha Romanov & Jason Todd

He doesn't shoot Steve Rogers in the face, but it's a close thing. "I hear you about the risks," Jason finds himself saying, keeping his gun level and ample space between them, "but if there's even an iota of a chance I can get my sister back I'm going to take it. And if she's pissed at me for shooting you to do it, well, at least she'll be alive to be pissed."

Service Calls by TheologyDiscography ( @amaraangelicus): ~1k, Marvel/DC, Teen and Up, NAWA, Dick Grayson & Steve Rogers

Steve Rogers is being harassed over his service dog trying to do his weekly grocery shopping. Officer Dick Grayson answers the call. Tag Roulette tags: Asthma | No Dialogue | Post Apocalyptic | Object Insertion | Social Media | POV Second Person | Law Enforcement | Service Animals

9-1-Vampire

(click to read on Ao3, snippet below)

Title: 9-1-Vampire Fandom: 9-1-1 & Angel (The Series) Ship: Buck/Tommy, past Buck/Cordelia and Buck/Taylor Word Count: 2,029 Rating: M

Taylor didn't believe in vampires a week ago or even two days ago.

She does, now. She's hungry, now.

She's not sure where she is and Ryan is dead — or she thinks he's dead — and she was chased by a goose — why the hell was there a goose in downtown LA even? He dragged her into this but he was going to help her eat and then there was someone there and a piece of wood and Ryan was dust and she ran and —

She wraps her arms around herself, not because she's cold — it's chilly out but she doesn't feel cold — but just because she doesn't know what to do. Self soothing, she diagnoses absently.

It's not working very well. She is not soothed.

Ryan turned to dust and she ran and then she tried to follow someone into a house party and couldn't and she's lost and she's pretty sure she's dead and —

And she knows this neighborhood.

She lived in this neighborhood — albeit briefly and under false pretenses. Semi-false pretenses.

Her eyes instinctively look up towards the big windows to see if he's home and —

The lights are on.

Ryan hadn't had time to explain things to her, but 'can't enter without an invitation' is a vampire classic and she's not an idiot. That's why she couldn't go into the house party.

But Buck, Buck will invite her in.

He won't even question it, if she asks him to invite her in. He just will.

And it's — he's been hurt before, right? He won't mind giving her a little blood. She's not going to kill him. He's like impossible to kill, right?

She chews on her lower lip as she stares up at the lights on in his apartment.

Ryan had killed her. And she hasn't seen anyone not die when they've been bitten but she hasn't seen anyone else be bitten but —

Buck will be fine.

Probably.

And she's so hungry.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Marvel, DCU, Black Widow (Marvel Comics), Red Hood/Arsenal (Comics) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Roy Harper/Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton & Natasha Romanov, Bucky Barnes/Clint Barton/Jason Todd/Slade Wilson/Frank Castle/Matt Murdock/Roy Harper, Avengers Team Members & Clint Barton Characters: Roy Harper, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanov (Marvel), Jason Todd, Slade Wilson, Frank Castle, Matt Murdock, James "Bucky" Barnes, Wanda Maximoff, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Bruce Wayne Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Urban Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Alternate Universe - Modern with Magic, Werewolves, Fae & Fairies, Vampires, (oh my), Meet the Family, Crossover, Werewolf Mates, Remix, Worldbuilding Summary:

Roy still thinks they should’ve tried to make it to Slade’s murder cabin in Kentucky, rather than doing another full moon in a city — but Clint had promised “plenty of room”, and “no need to be quiet”, and, alarmingly, “forests”. Of course, the only reason it’s happening anyways is because Clint had been the one to offer and Bucky (and the rest of them) are hoping to get him to formally join the pack this Christmas.

And Roy doesn’t begrudge them that! He loves Clint (although obviously not as much as Bucky does) and he does very much want him to join the pack — but he hates moons in cities nonetheless.

(This moon is going to be different, and he doesn't even know)

"tagged" by @carcrash429

The base that Jemma is placed on in Gotham is not one of the ones on her top five list. (rainy days can't bring me down)

Jason is catching his breath after the latest round of going toe to toe with his current trainer, downing water like they’re a shortage and eyeing her at the same time. (anywhere you are (is where i'll be))

When John first sees her he thinks that she must be enchanted. (like something grandpa used to read)

Natasha stretches out in the soft cool sheets, feeling her body ache pleasantly even as she becomes more aware of a few scratches she’ll probably want to treat before she goes to bed. (speaking as one)

The florescent light above his head is buzzing at a pitch just slightly different from the other ones in the restaurant and he’s about five minutes away from taking the gun he’s got in the harness at the small of his back and taking it out. (moons off my hammy)

Natasha continues to paint her toe nails. (like sunlight on the floor)

Natasha narrows her eyes and considers their new teammate.(team flippity floppity)

It’s goddamn embarrassing is what it is, getting grabbed in his civies. (schrödinger would have a lot to say about this)

Natasha was just finishing up the case for Mrs. Stark, putting the last photos together to give the woman the proof that her husband had been not only two-timing her but also two-timing his investors, when the door to the outer office opened. (walking on (brimstone))

Joyce hears the door open and then close again. (i can (almost) see the light)

Roy blows a bubble and pops it, specifically to be obnoxious.(spinning through space)

It comes out of nowhere, a black blur and a yowl and she’s got her gun in hand without thinking about it — Frank has been making her spend more time at the gun range than she’d like, but it sure as shit pays off — before she realizes it’s a cat. (show cat crime syndicate)

Jason kneads the dough, pinching it a little to check the elasticity before going back to working it. (what will you do when the war is over, tender comrade?)

“Huh,” Jason says, eyes fixed on the iridescent glowing dome that’s completely covering a section of the dockyard. (demons drinking water)

Tim already has the tools set aside when he drags Jason back to their bed, but he waits to mention it until he’s got Jason worked open and writhing on his cock. (angels drinking kegs)

It’s a half formed thought the first time Slade stays long enough after fucking for Jason to watch the bruises he left fade from purple to green to yellow to nothing. (c'mon baby can you bleed like me (you should see my scars))

After everything — after they’ve all gone to Beacon Hills to find out who had become the Alpha after Laura’s death, after they’ve found a half insane Peter and a pack made up of confused teenagers, bitten either against their will or with little to no explanation, after they’ve talked down the hunters and finally gotten justice for the murder of the Hales, and after Dick has stayed to help Peter (or harm Peter, if he has to) — Jason finds Derek on the roof of his apartment building, drenched with rain. (so confident (you're full of shit))

The sound of her bedroom door slamming open propels Natasha out of sleep abruptly. (the kick is so divine)

Jason rests his head against the back of the chair, eyes staring blankly up at the ceiling where the slants of headlights through the blinds make stripes appear and disappear in an inconsistent but persistent dance.  (i tell you (something))

Jason stays relaxed in the chair as he waits for the field leader to show up. (all the secrets of our mountain (all the riches buried there))

Patterns: I seem to like to make sure you know who the POV character is immediately. I think generally I try to start in the middle of things, and usually with action, but I don't always succeed at that goal. Also jesus some of my sentences are *so long* wow.

Favorite: I think my favorite is either 5 (fun with no name) or 11 (short but tells a lot!) 8 is also fun though. I don't know, I like a lot of my writing man.

New ask game:

Reblog if you want your followers to tell you what your trademark ™️ is. Like, what’s that thing that really identifies you.

[capriciouswrites]

Okay so, I just hit a milestone -- over 300 works on Ao3. So this is how I am celebrating.

Send me asks for some DVD commentary requests OR send me a fic and a prompt and I'll do a little ficlet in that universe. MWAH

DVD Commentary Mixed Prompt

Pick, A, B, C or D:

A. Send me any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written, and stick that selection in my ask. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what’s going on in the character’s heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

B. Send me the name of any fanfic I’ve written and I’ll give you a drabble from the other half of the pair’s point of view. (If it’s a split POV, you should specify the section you want.) 

C. Send me the name of any fanfic I’ve written and I’ll give you my headcanons or a drabble about another character in that universe.

D. Send me the name of any fanfic I’ve written and I’ll tell you something about what I think happens after the fic is done.

ASK.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: DCU, Daredevil (TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Karen Page & Diana (Wonder Woman), Karen Page/Diana (Wonder Woman) Characters: Karen Page, Diana (Wonder Woman) Additional Tags: Pre-Relationship, Character Transformed into a Cat, Magic, Crossover Pairings, Crossover, Other characters in passing, Short & Sweet Summary:

It comes out of nowhere, a black blur and a yowl and she’s got her gun in hand without thinking about it — Frank has been making her spend more time at the gun range than she’d like, but it sure as shit pays off — before she realizes it’s a cat.

A big cat that's now clinging to her shoulder, body draped down her front. She’s not much of a cat person, but now that it’s climbed her it’s just holding steady. She’s about to shake it off when six figures round the corner, flat out running — and her gun comes back up.

No one runs without good reason on a New York sidewalk.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: DCU Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Tim Drake/Jason Todd Characters: Tim Drake (DCU), Jason Todd Additional Tags: Consensual, Marking, Possessive Behavior, Consensual Permanent Marking, Anal Sex Summary:

Tim already has the tools set aside when he drags Jason back to their bed, but he waits to mention it until he’s got Jason worked open and writhing on his cock. “I’m going to tattoo you,” he says, pausing, using one hand on Jason’s abdomen to hold him still. “Try not to move.”

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: DCU (Comics) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Roy Harper/Jason Todd Characters: Jason Todd, Roy Harper Additional Tags: Food as a Metaphor for Love, cooking as a love language, Complicated Relationships, Food made with love tastes better, Shapes Mac and Cheese taste best, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Jason Todd and his complicated relationship with his family, Bittersweet Summary:

Jason kneads the dough, pinching it a little to check the elasticity before going back to working it.

The motion is soothing. Stress relief. His mind wanders, and given that he’s cooking, the way it goes is predictable. He takes a breath of yeasty air, lets it out slowly, and lets it happen.

He thinks about Alfred teaching him how to cook. He thinks about carefully writing out note cards of recipes, under Alfred’s watchful eye.

He wonders what happened to those note cards.

“Huh,” Jason says, eyes fixed on the iridescent glowing dome that’s completely covering a section of the dockyard. “Well, that’s not good.”

[Podfic] Take Meow-t Tonight | fic by @capriciouswrites

DC: Jason Todd-centric | Rated: M | Length: 7 mns

The kitten is also clearly not willing to give up the ghost, as the first thing it does when Jason enters into the alley is climb up his pant leg and then onto his shirt and then cuddle against him. So, to say that he didn’t have a choice about taking it home is pretty accurate.

“Wanna mark you,” he slurs, letting Slade take his weight easily, as they traverse the city to wherever Slade has decided the safest destination is. “Permanent like, s’you can see you’re mine.”

Honestly, finding Derek deciding to sit in the rain after, well, all of that is not surprising. And Jason can’t exactly blame him, he’d come to the roof to do the same thing.

The part that doesn’t make sense is that Derek is on Jason’s roof.

The sound of her bedroom door slamming open propels Natasha out of sleep abruptly. She’s not sure how she got here — the last thing she remembers is a video call with Rocket. Or wait, no, she’d met with Steve, hadn’t she? He’d been talking about that support group he was running. They still hadn’t found Clint but —

“I need your car keys,” her sister demands from the doorway. Not Yelena — but her sister nonetheless.

Original Work: part time soulmates, full time problem by @capriciouswrites [ao3: SafelyCapricious]

DC x MCU: Roy/Natasha/Jason | Rating: Teen & Up Audiences

Summary: 

Natasha corrects Jason’s position, again, and Roy watches, tools held loosely in his hands, because, well. “Can I go on record that this is a bad idea?” Clint voices from the other side of the table where he’s working on some arrows. “You can go on record for being jealous,” Roy returns, eyes not moving away from the sight of Natasha and Jason, both in clinging Lycra, practicing flips against a very sturdy dummy. “I’m not jealous,” Clint corrects, “I’m terrified.” 

Notes: podded for @polypodweek! It wasn't on my original schedule but the problem is that I actually have a lot of polypods I want to make so I kept adding on ideas of "if I have time!!!" & for this one, I DEFINITELY did (i love it so much)

[Podfic] a runaway success | fic by @safelycapricious

Marvel/DC: Bucky/Clint/Jason/Roy | Rated: M | Length: 7 mns

Instead of thank you or something, once the goons are unconscious or dead (they aren’t in Gotham it’s fine) the first thing the guy says to him is, “You’re not my archer.” “And you’re not my muzzled marksman, baby, but you don’t see me making a thing about it,” Roy shoots back, since the guy in question is wearing a muzzle very similar to the one that Jason sports these days. 

For @polypodweek!
