Captain Marvel can't be a member of the Justice League because he has a LOT of shit to deal with in his first years as the champion of magic after so many centuries without one.

So when Superman asks this new hero, who only appears in Fawcett or in world-ending situations, if he wants to join him, he's met with a big, polite "Oh, no thanks."

But Captain Marvel and the League keep bumping into each other.

Zatanna does a spell that the League requested, and Marvel just "POFF" appears and says something like "Guys, I can't let you do this. It's a scale 12 spell, it could cause a rupture in the fabric of this universe. Here, let me redo this for you, sorry, I just need to make sure, okay?"

And someone says "YOU CAN'T DO THAT" and the magic users explain that, yes, yes he can. he is the new champion of magic and he is in fact responsible for keeping magic in its rightful place, making sure it doesn't go ruining the interdimensional worlds or universes, and that this IS his role in magical society and no one in that room can really take away his authority in matters related to magic. They can try, but the chances of success are very low.

So Captain Marvel takes care of it.

Like, are they on a mission to retrieve a magical artifact? Marvel will show up, grab it, and leave because he needs to put it in the rock so it doesn't cause more trouble.

Are they dealing with a cult that's probably going to summon a demon or something? Marvel will probably be there to banish the demon, close the portal, and reprimand Constantine, because why not?

The magical villain that Marvel saw the League having trouble with? Well, just a little finger shock should do the trick to help them take the villain away.

Got a problem with a God? Marvel is there.

Are the portals opening? Captain is in charge.

Have goblins invaded Gotham? Are fairies loose in Metropolis? Are there talking snowmen in Central City? No problem, Captain Marvel is ur guy.

After a while, JL is dying to have him on their team. Or at least let him keep a communicator in case they need to call for help. Because, well, this guy IS super powerful, a HUGE nerd about magical things, and it's MUCH better to have him on their side than not.

But he always refuses, because taking care of all the problems related to magic and Fawcett's stuff is already too much, hes just like 8-9 years old, give him a break.

Yeah but of course one day, after a long day, Superman goes back to Fawcett to ask about it for the thousandth time, and he's so tired of this subject that he just waves his hand and says: "Okay, okay, give me a year to make magical society at least more stable so they can keep going without me present all the time, then I'll go with you, okay?"

And Superman is beaming with happiness, he agrees, leaves, and Billy goes to sleep that night dead of exhaustion on his little couch on the rock of eternity, wondering HOW he's going to make magical society stable after CENTURIES of instability. in. one. year.

That's future billy problem tho, not billy of the present. that being said, time for the champion's nap

WingsAU where Captain Marvel doesn't have wings.

Okay, many magical or supernatural creatures don't have wings like humans.

But one day, during a cleanup mission, the Captain is helping a child and, to distract him while they look for his parents, they talk.

Child: You look so much like a human…

Marvel: Well, thats probably because i am a human, buddy.

Child: Are you? then… Where are your wings?

Marvel: Well… I used to have wings. They were just like my father's… but I had an accident and lost them… Good thing I can still fly without them, huh?

Later, Batman would be the only one brave enough to ask Cap about it.

Marvel: Oh, no. I lied a little bit to the kid… It was not an accident. A relative of mine… he really didn't like the look of my wings. I think looking at them made him sad, because they reminded him of my dad… so he ripped them off before he kicked me out of the house.

He said it so nonchalantly that Batman felt a little stunted.

One day, on a mission, Captain Marvel got impaled by a huge pole. Thats ok, he healed. But not the suit. So, there was a big hole in the back of the clothes, showing some ugly nasty but healed scars where Captain's wings should be.

From Batman's analysis, he used to have 2 wings. They are so small compared to the size of his back, he must have been very young at the time… They are scarred, but their sinuousness makes it obvious how extremely violent and raw the act was. It is not a scar from something that was cut, it is a scar from something that was torn. The next time Marvel is at the WatchTower, he notices how everyone tries to be extra nice to him.

Wings are a very sacred part of humans, Cap was just so small that when Ebezener ripped them off, he didn't have time to attach himself to them or with what they meant he IS an optimist who always sees the glass as half full. he didn't completely lie to that kid earlier. yeah, he doesn't have wings anymore, but he can still fly with magic! only when he's transformed… but that's enough for him not to get so upset.

and maybe the trauma also made him forget 90% of the situation in favor of ignoring the agony he went through

Captain Imposter WIP

Bruce Wayne is a billionaire, a well-known one at that. He should be able to get whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Whether it was for him or anyone in his household, gods know he can afford it. He always gets his way somehow. Which is why he feels like tearing his hair out trying to plan this birthday party.

Everything was perfect… except for one thing,

One person.

Captain fucking Marvel.

His new kid, Billy, was obsessed with him. It was no surprise to him that Billy's favorite hero just so happens to be the one from his hometown. A hero who was also in the Justice League.

Unlike other parents, who get their children a random person to show up in a costume, the real Captain Marvel could be guaranteed to come to this birthday party, Bruce will make sure of it. Bruce was always determined to make his kids’ first birthday with him absolutely perfect. And Billy was the sweetest of them all. He deserved nothing less.

He can actually make this happen.

He would’ve made this happen.

It shouldn't have been hard to do. In fact, it should have been the easiest part to do in all the party planning. The Captain was always delighted to be invited to places, especially birthday parties. The one time Batman asks for a favor from Captain Marvel, the man who says yes to everything, he had been told no.

No?

No.

Maybe he will get a random person to show up in Captain Marvel’s costume. Billy is still too young to tell the difference, right?

“Clark, are you doing anything this Saturday?”

----------

Billy can’t help it if his merch is just that good. The red-white-gold color scheme is just pure perfection. Ask Barry, he’ll tell you the same thing.

Adding on to Tawky Tawny being Billy's giant pet tiger, Damian would totally be jealous. Like absolutely filled with envy.

He's heard reports of a giant tiger just strolling through Fawcett and needs to have it. When he goes to Fawcett for a little investigating, he gets more or less the same responses from people: "Ohhhh you mean Tawky! Yeah, that's Billy's tiger!"

Damian instantly tracks this Billy, he refuses to acknowledge his last name, and demands to see the tiger. Billy, who is very confused and slightly scared, explains that he can't show him because he doesn't know where Tawky is. This ticks Damian off, cause how can you not keep track of a giant tiger. And Billy has to explain to him that Tawky just comes and gos as he pleases, he doesn't have control over him and he wouldn't want to either, because that wouldn't be very nice.

Damian refuses to leave until he meets Tawky. Which irritates Billy because he's got work to do, both normal civilian work and superhero work. He does his best to lose the kid, but the peace doesn't last long before Damian drops down in front of him. Billy is starting to wonder if this kid put a tracker on him.

It gets closer to the end of the day and Billy's frustration is on the brink of boiling over. He just wants to get back to his apartment and curl up next to Tawky. However, Damian is still following him.

Billy: Don't you have a family and home you should be getting back to. Damian: Tt' like your one to talk, we've been running around this whole city all day. And by the looks of it, I don't think you've got a home to get to either.** Billy: *face becoming all screwed up and red* Bet your parents are relieved you're not home, finally some peace and quiet without an evil brat like you around. Damian: *fists beginning to clench at his sides and glaring angrily at Billy* I am willing to say the same about "your" tiger. He hasn't shown all day, seems like he's taking a much needed break away from you! Billy: Then why are you still here! If you think Tawky is avoiding me, then I should be the last person to bother! **Damian didn't mean to come off as rude, he was concerned just didn't know how to express it. And Billy spoke out of defensiveness.

The argument continues to escalate to the point both boys are grappling with each other on the ground. They are interrupted by something pulling Billy away from Damian. Tawky stands over Damian with Billy held in his mouth by the boy's red sweater.

Tawky licks both the boys faces and hands, healing the scratches and bruises that they had inflicted on one another. They sit there on the side walk, it's night and the street is mostly desolate besides a few cars that drive by every now and then. Tawky curls around the two of the, forcing them to sit against one another.

Finally Damian breaks the silence, apologizing for what he said and for following Billy around all day. Billy forgives him and apologizes as well for what he said.

Billy: *slightly turning his head towards Damian* I'm sorry for calling you 'an evil brat', I don't actually think that. Damian: *huffs and continues to look straight ahead at the road* Not like you know me enough to come to that conclusion. Billy: *turning his head more towards Damian now* You don't think your a bad person, do you? 'Cause your not. Damian: *his eyebrows pinch together as he glares at the floor* Of course not, I have more pride than that! *voice becomes slightly softer* It's just that you don't know me enough to believe otherwise. Billy: *leans back into Tawky more, now looking straight ahead as well* I know that Tawny doesn't behave like this with bad people. And I trust his instincts.

Damian doesn't saying anything after that and neither does Billy. They sit their for a while, relaxing against Tawky Tawny's warm, soft body. Eventually a fancy car stops in front of them. Instinctually, Billy grabs Damian's arm and goes to book it. Only to be stopped by Damian who tells him its alright. Hesitantly, Billy lets go of Damian and watch as the window lowers to reveal an old man in a suit and a much younger man wearing much more casual clothes.

Dick: *sticking half his body out the window, with a clearly concerned expression on his face* Dami! Oh my God! We've been looking all over for you bud! What are you doing here? *looks behind Damian and a little boy and giant tiger* . . . actually, never mind. I think I just answered my own question. Damian: *arms crossed and rolling his eyes* Cease your needless worry, I have everything under control. Dick: *eyes hopping from Damian, Billy, and Tawky very quickly* Look, Dami, I'm very happy that your making friends, but let's be more careful. *speaking in a quieter tone* This is cap's terf, and we need to respect that. Damian: Tt' Oh please, I didn't see the walking light bulb at all today. Billy frowns at that, Damian didn't see him because he was stopping Billy from doing his job. Billy's just lucky that nothing really happened, though he is sad he couldn't help his community out more. Billy: You probably didn't seem him cause you were too busy stalking me! Dick: *glares down at his little brother, Alfred can be heard huffing a laugh behind him* Damian! Damian: *face beginning to redden* I was not stalking you! I was looking for Tawny and you just happened to be my best lead! Dick: *groans with his head in his hands* Dami, please, this is not how you make friends. Damian: *face becoming even redder* He is not my friend! Billy: *pouting a bit* hey Alfred: *a small smile on his face* Well Master Damian, would your 'not-friend' like a ride home? Billy: No! Damian: Yes. Billy: *looking at Damian with a shocked face, then back at Alfred* No, it's alright, for real! I have Tawky to walk me home, so I'll be more than fine! Damian: He left. Billy: *turns to look behind him and is met with an empty sidewalk* Goddammit! *looks up to the sky and screams* TRAITOR!

Billy, reluctantly, let's them drop him off in front of Freddy's house. It's gonna take longer for him to walk to his apartment, but it should be able to fool them. As long as Damian doesn't say anything, which he's not willing to bet on.

Finally they drive off and Billy makes his way back to his apartment where he finds Tawky curled up on his mattress. Too tired to even be upset, Billy squishes himself against Tawky's belly and goes to sleep.

I'm swamped with a lot of things to do from college and comissions, maybe in 2 or 3 weeks I'll have free time to continue the fanfic, sorry

[colossrat]

reporter: do you support immigration?

marvel, caught off guard: ducks? or birds in general?

reporter: no. i mean illegal immigrants

marvel, now thinking about ducks carrying drugs: hmmm define illegal immigrants

reporter: An "illegal immigrant" is a person who enters or resides in a country without the necessary documents or who violates the immigration laws of that country

marvel: oh... you should ask superman that one, it would be really funny

[colossrat]

Pride month with Billy Batson doodle :D

[colossrat]

I feel like Mary Poppins from the 1964 Mary Poppins movie sums up exactly how I expect Fawcett city to be.

Hyper competent

Very nice

A touch sassy

Magic out the wazoo completely casually

Goofy in the strangest of ways

Never explain anything

Anything that is explained only serves to make the experience more confusing

Everyone knows eachother somehow

Utmost respect for everything including saying bless you to dogs if they sneeze and talking with penguins and then making a dance number with them. All normal Tuesday activities.

Completely bizarre to anyone who isnt in the know

[colossrat]

happy pride to whatever the fuck batman and superman have going on

[colossrat]

i wanna talk about this shot

[colossrat]

Adult Traumatized Heroes: This world is rotten, how can anyone enjoy something as mundane as ice cream? Maybe others, not me? Right, I need to make this world a better place so that others can live in peace and enjoy the little things.

Billy: I found two cents on the street! And I didn't get beat up! I also found a great place to sleep! Today I beat up a villain and got free ice cream! And now I'm going to save the world, because it's the right thing to do! And tomorrow I'll rummage through the trash and I'm sure I'll find something tasty! LET'S FUCKING GO!!!

[colossrat]

The bat symbol is very cliché, but very good.

Maybe it is the bat, but like Brucie he uses some kind of sticker to cover it? Or paint. Like Starlight Glimmer did. But would that also mean that he only got his cutie mark when he became Batman?

I think he would lose a lot of the desire to find his cm after his parents died, so maybe he really only found his purpose after he left for his training and became the bat. And then he shows some pompous cutie mark of stars or the dollar sign of money? To make an analogy to his gift of giving? Or being rich like diamond tiara?

maybe a scale? scales of justice and all that (i think the translator is not right on this one)

a fancy W? it could be a bit angst. him receiving the Wayne symbol as a cutie mark right after his parents died, because now his destiny is to be the Wayne of the family, the last (for now) of the lineage

I don't know but if I were to think of one thing he has a lot of, it is empathy, compassion, love. Even though he has this closed persona.

It may involve the context of when he got his cutie mark 💭 Was it when his parents died? Was it in a fight at school? Was it him defending someone? Was it him running away? Lots of options

can't wait to see your Au!!! Tag me if u can/want

Also, 1 more idea under the line

Maybe like, a heart bat shaped????

I made a quick sketch bcs idk if it would make sense

I was drawing Clark and Bruce as ponies, but I don’t know what to give Bruce as a Cutie Mark.

Any ideas?

[colossrat]

I ABSOLUTELY love the little headcannon that Captain Marvels eyes are squinted because CC Batson always forgot to wear his glasses and that's how Billy remembers his dad (his hero)

You could go even farther and say that Caps hair looks jelled back because CC would push his glasses onto his head which pushed back his hair, but Billy of course forgot about the fact that there were glasses there (he was so Itty bitty, he wouldn't be able to see the top of his dad's head to see the glasses, only that the hair was pushed back)

[colossrat]

God forbid fans having fun being creative and free with the various and countless possible realities in the world of DC just because it's not canon doesn't mean you can't have a laugh thinking about it I hate it when people come throwing rules at people who just want to have fun and aren't hurting anyone because of it

[colossrat]

Let's write fanfics in which Billy Batson is a young orphan who gets by without depending on adults! He lives by himself, supports himself, and largely takes care of himself, and he isn't looking to change that anytime soon!
