@davidbowie-microfic Day nine: Swim

Words: 288

JayRoy time lol! No I don’t know how to characterize Roy, but it’s fine.

Also yes I am aware Jason can swim but this is my au

Fic below line

————————————————————————

“I can't swim.”

Were the first words to come out of Jason’s mouth when Roy had suggested going on a beach date while they were in Star City.

“What do you mean you can’t swim?”

Roy had immediately asked, pure disbelief written all over his face. How could his boyfriend, one of Batman's kids, not know how to swim.

“I mean I can’t swim, I never learned how to.”

Jason responded, he had felt neutral about his inability to swim, maybe a little embarrassed about it but that was it.

Now though, under his boyfriend's piercing glare he felt a little more embarrassed about it, and a hell of a lot more scared by Roy than he had been previously.

“That's insane Jason. You lived in a mansion, on an island, with two different private pools, and you never learned how to swim?!”

Roy had said, disbelief in his voice.

“Yes? It didn't seem important at the time, I mean why would I need to learn how to swim when I live in Gotham city and it's constantly cloudy.”

Jason tried defending himself, but he knew using Gotham’s weather was a weak excuse, especially when Roy had lived with him for two months and knew exactly how much Gothamites tended to over exaggerate when it came to the weather in their city.

“I’m teaching you to swim.”

Roy had said, and that was that. Jason knew trying to argue with Roy would only make him double down, so he had given up and allowed himself to be dragged to the nearest open pool that offered private swim times.

Two days later and Jason could swim, he also had a newfound sense of appreciation for Star City’s public pools.

@davidbowie-microfic Day Eight: Flower

Words: 389

Another WinterHawk ‘Fic, sorry for missing like two whole weeks of fanfic lol

Fic below line

———————————————————————

“Would a flower still wilt through the winter when treated with tender love?”

That was the question Clint had been asked and if he were being honest he didn’t know. The man had asked him with such genuine curiosity that Clint had almost wondered if the man was insane, but the more Clint thought about it the less he was sure that he knew the answer.

Plus Clint just couldn’t get the image of that man out of his head, he was short that was for certain, but he was also very well built and he’d had a shiny silver prosthetic arm that looked like it was a top of the line new model. The man had long black hair that was put up into a loose bun, and the faintest hint of stubble on his well sculpted face.

Clint had fallen for the stranger, and fallen hard from the moment he’d walked into the flower shop.

The same flower shop he was supposed to be running at that moment, he was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of someone ringing the service bell at the counter.

“Coming!”

He yelled while speed walking out from the back area in the store.

“I am so sorry about that sir-”

Clint said as he walked up to the counter, his voice trailing off as he saw who had been ringing the bell, it was the same man who’d come into the store earlier that week, the one Clint had been thinking about non-stop.

The man took a few deep breaths before clearing his throat.

“Hey, I’m James.”

James said, introducing himself with a shy smile.

“Hi James, uhm… I’m Clint. What can I help you with?”

Clint replied a little nervously, there was a faint hint of blush on his cheeks as he spoke.

“I was wondering if you’d like to go on a date with me? I mean- if you’re okay with it you know.”

James stuttered out, voice pitching up slightly as he asked.

“Yeah, yes, sure. I mean- I would love to go on a date with you James.”

Clint stammered out, his face was now flushed red from excitement and embarrassment.

“Great, and uhm, you can call me Bucky if you’d like.”

“Okay then, I would love to go on a date with you Bucky.”

@davidbowie-microfic day seven: Break

Words: 284

Self indulgent Loki fic with my oc bc I’ve been struggling physically lately.

Fic below line

————————————————-

Mortals break easily. At least that is what Loki had been led to believe.

However this mortal, with their long tail and droopy ears definitely wasn’t easy to break. Loki had seen that first hand when they’d nearly knocked Thor over upon first meeting him.

Said mortal was now laying across the couch on their side, head resting in Loki’s lap while the two of them watched Good Omens.

“Simon dear. Why do you refuse to break?”

Loki asked, rubbing the soft skin of Simon’s ears and playing with their earrings.

This was a question Loki had asked Simon this many times before but they had always found a way to dodge the question, however he had a feeling that this time they would answer.

“I just can’t. My mutation made me into a natural super soldier, with some slight changes.”

They tapped their tail against their leg as an example of the changes that differed them from most super soldiers.

Loki paused his petting of Simon’s ears for a moment, listening to what Simon had to say.

“I might also just be too stubborn. If I break, if I show any weakness at all to people actually, especially strangers. I’m scared they might think I’m unfit to do my job.”

They admitted, one of their ears flicking absently.

Loki sighed before nodding and continuing to rub the velvety cartilage of Simon's ears.

“That can’t be healthy dear.”

Loki said, moving one hand to scratch the top of Simon's head, which caused them to let out a calm purring noise as they began to drift into sleep.

“You need to break sometimes, love. You should let this be one of those times my dear."

Return To You

Pairing: Dean Winchester x fem!reader

Genre: Fluff & Humor

WC: 528

Event: Day 12 of @davidbowie-microfic's May Prompts

🩷 My Fanfiction & Gif Imagine Masterpost Document

This is officially my first x reader story for Dean Winchester! I'm really hoping that I did his character justice and not make him too ooc, but idk I think I did alright as I added a little Dean with pie moment lol!

Enjoy!

"Are you sure that you can't finish the job tonight?" you ask Dean over the phone, a pout coming to your lips as you really don't want to be stuck in this hotel room with a severely twisted ankle for another three days until Dean and Sam come back from the job their currently on in Ohio.

"I wish we could sweetheart," Dean says with a sigh. "but we're still trying to figure out what this damn thing is."

"Did you guys call Bobby?" you question, knowing that Bobby would be the best bet for the boys to find some answers through as Bobby can find almost any information on anything you can think of that hunters hunt.

"Yeah, Sammy did that earlier today." Dean responds.

"And you haven't heard back from him yet?" you question.

"Nah, not yet," he responds. "Hopefully he'll give us some answers here in the next hour or two so we can get rid of this damn thing."

"Yeah... hopefully." you respond gently.

"You doin' alright there by yourself sweetheart?" Dean questions, the worry in his voice clear as a bell.

"Yeah." you answer. "It's just boring without the two of you here."

"Well, I miss you too." he responds and you can just imagine the smile on his face.

"Dean?" you hear Sam's voice ask in the background. "We gotta go."

"Alright. One sec." Dean responds back.

“Dean? What is it?” you question.

“Sam just said Bobby called back.” Dean responds. “We’re leaving now.”

“Alright.” you nod. “You two be careful alright?”

“Aren’t we always?” Dean questions.

You can’t help but roll your eyes and chuckle gently at his question. “Just watch each other’s backs and don’t do anything stupid.”

“Yes ma’am.” he responds back and you just know that he did a mock salute.

“I’ll call you when the job’s taken care of alright?” he asks.

“Okay.” you respond.

“I love you sweetheart.”

“I love you too Dean.”

And with that, the call ends.

You sigh out in boredom as you change the channel on the tv trying to find something to watch before going to bed for the night.

That’s when you hear it.

The rumble and hum of Dean’s Impala’s engine as it gets closer to the hotel room.

You sit up from the bed, straightening your back to where you can look out the window by the door.

A grin comes to your face as you see Dean and Sam exiting the Impala, Dean holding a plastic bag in his hand.

Slowly getting up from the bed, you slowly walk towards the door, trying not to put too much pressure on your ankle with each step you take.

Opening the door, you smile at both Dean and Sam.

“What the heck are you two doing here?” you question. “I thought you still had to finish the job?”

“Yeah, well, surprise!” Dean grins. “I also got pie!” he continues, pulling the pie out of the bag, handing it to you.

“Fine.” you respond, taking the pie from him. “I’ll forgive you.”

“Just remember to not do that next time.”

“Deal.” he smiles before pressing a kiss to your forehead.

Dead On Main time IG :>

This is *technically* set in the world of A Ghost and the Bats however it is not directly connected to the story.

Fic below line

————————————

“Hey, Jay? I’ve always had a question about your name.”

Danny said, looking up from his book, a well-worn copy of Jack and Alice by Jane Austen that he’d picked up from a used book sale.

When Jason didn’t respond, Danny stuck a bookmark between the pages and set the book on the coffee table.

Leaning across the couch, he tapped Jason’s shoulder and poked him in the face for good measure.

“What?”

Jason’s head snapped up, looking in Danny’s general direction. His voice was too loud when he spoke, and his pronunciation was off slightly.

Danny reached up to the side of Jason’s head and turned on the man's hearing aids. Once they were undeniably working, he reiterated his statement from earlier, clarifying that he was referring to Jason’s anti-hero persona.

“Uh, yeah, what’s the question, Casper?”

Jason said, using his nickname for Danny’s alter-ego, much to Danny’s faux annoyance.

“Why did you choose the name Red Hood?”

Danny asked, moving so that his shoulders touched Jason's and he could bury himself into Jason's side.

“It has sentimental value, I guess? Joker used to go by it, and in my anger from being a revenant, I figured it was the best name to get back at Bruce. His biggest mistake was using the old name of his worst enemy. It felt poetic, I guess.”

Danny hummed in reply, burying himself deeper into Jason’s side and pulling a blanket over himself.

“That’s so cool.”

Event: Day 8 of @davidbowie-microfic's May Prompts

🩷 My Fanfiction & Gif Imagine Masterpost Document

You can't help but hum as you and Shoto, your betrothed stroll through the gardens.

A daily tradition the two of you share in the mornings before the two of you have to do your royal duties for the day.

You smile at the feeling of his hand in yours as he leads you towards the center of the gardens, where the two of you usually spend a little time on the stone bench next to a large fountain before walking back inside the palace for the day.

Shoto continues to lead you further into the gardens, and you can't help but be in awe at the beautiful roses, lilies, daisies, and other beautiful blooms that surround the two of you, filling the morning air with the sweet scent of several different flowers.

"(Y/N), I have something for you." you hear Shoto say from beside you, causing you turn your head towards him, only to find him holding a single (your favorite kind of flower) in his free hand.

He must have picked it from one of the bushes as the two of you were walking.

"Oh, my love." you can't help but say out of awe at the romantic gesture. "It's beautiful."

Shoto gives you a small smile in response to your words before placing the flower behind your ear. "Not as beautiful as you are, my love."

@davidbowie-microfic day five: control

Word count: 226

Haha more WolfStar/MoonStar and also not a traditional Fic!

Fic below line

————————————————

Maintaining control was a hard thing, especially during a full moon. Sirius knew that well enough, they were fourth years at that point so he had seen what Remus could do, and he still wanted to be with Remus when he transformed.

Not as a human though no, no Sirius wanted to be there as a dog. Remus was confused at first, of course, but then he understood when Sirius showed him. His boyfriend had become an Animagus, for him.

Remus couldn’t believe it, but he allowed Sirius to join him that year. It was one of the most peaceful transformations of his life, thanks to Sirius, he had never been that in control of his body before.

The next few months were similar, with the rest of Remus’s friends joining them in quick succession. James was the first after Sirius, joining them two moons later, and then Peter finally came around after James haggled him about it.

Life was great, the full moons were no longer as unbearable and they all had a few good memories from it.

Then the prank happened, Sirius made a mistake and James fixed it; and heavily damaged their friendship in the process.

It took three or four months until Sirius decided to join them again on the full moon.

It was a lesson on control for all of them.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL WHAT

@davidbowie-microfic day four: Star

Words: 215

Marauders finally, more of a themed poem but it’s still a microfic.

Starts below line

———————————————————

The moon and the sun were in love. That’s what everyone said, but the stars disagreed.

What you don’t see is that it’s actually the stars that the moon is in love with. Remus loved the stars, he loved Sirius; and the stars loved the moon too.

They couldn’t share their love publicly of course, not without heavy criticism from the outside world, but they still loved each other.

There’s another story here, one that has a sadder fate.

The stag loved the stars, not the same one as the moon though. It loved the fourth brightest star in the night sky, chasing it over and over again.

The stars loved the stag too, dashing across the sky for the stag to chase again and again. They wanted so desperately to be with the stag. James loved the star, and Regulus loved the stag; but they were doomed from the start.

A never ending game of chase between the stag and the stars; fated to always fall into the flowers then fizzle out and explode.

Two stars, doomed from the start to either burn out early or live long enough to become a constellation.

Best friends, doomed to lose all they love.

StarChasers and MoonStar, brothers and best friends doomed to fall again and again.

Frost bug time!

Fic below line.

———————————————————

Mantis was sitting with Loki in their shared common room at the Avengers tower, the two had been placed on the same floor as all the other healers with the exception of Sue who was staying at the Baxter Building with her family.

The two of them were currently curled up on the couch and Mantis was playing with Lokis fur coat when she had an idea.

“Can I braid your hair?”

She asked curiously, antennae twitching slightly as she placed her hands on the back of Lokis head.

“Well of course dear. Just don’t pull too hard.”

Loki replied with a faint smile, she waved a hand and the metal crown on her head turned into a small headband that pushed her long hair back, making it easier for Mantis to braid.

“Ohh! Thank you dear Loki!”

Mantis smiled softly and made a quiet chirping noise as she rubbed her hands together. She gently took hold of Lokis long hair and began turning it into a beautiful Lagertha Braid, occasionally her hand would linger against Lokis cheek or back and she would take in the feeling of love coming off of Loki and reciprocate it.

“It is done friend Loki!”

Mantis said after a few minutes, having put the last fastener into Lokis braid. She gently laid her arms across Lokis shoulders and leaned into the gods back, projecting an image of the braid into their head.

“It’s lovely Mantis, thank you.”

She said as she gently reached up and placed a soft hand on Mantis’s cheek, Loki pulled the smaller around so that Mantis sat in her lap. She leaned down slightly and placed a soft kiss on Mantis’s cheek, placing gentle pressure on her back.

————————————————————

“Shut the door behind you.”

“What?”

Clint looked over at Bucky confused, his hearing aids were low on power so he couldn’t hear Bucky well at all.

“Bucky,”

Clint said, trying to get his boyfriend’s attention.

“Bucky look at me.”

Clint repeated in what he assumed was a louder voice. Once Buckys eyes were on Clint he began to sign.

‘Hearing aids dead. Didn’t catch what you said.’

Bucky, understanding what Clint meant, began signing in return,

‘shut the door behind you.’

Was signed quickly and Clint nodded doing as he was told. Bucky walked up to Clint and casually draped his arms around the man’s waist bringing him into a brief kiss.

‘I love you.’

Bucky signed, smiling as he held Clint close to him.

‘Love you too.’

Clint signed back, slipping out of the hug to go and sit on the edge of Buckys bed. Clint laid down on the bed sprawling out across it like a starfish and he smiled as he felt Alpine crawl onto his chest.

Bucky chuckled at the sight and made his way over to the bed as well, crawling up next to Clint with a love struck look in his eyes.

Clint absentmindedly took Buckys hand and started rubbing circles into his palm as they drifted off to sleep.

First CoD fanfic

Fic below the line:

——————————————————

"I’m curious, what bands do ya like Johnny?" "What?"

Johnny looked up from the book he was reading, a bit confused by Simon's question. He and Simon were roommates sure, but they'd never really talked much, and yeah sometimes they would go to each other if they wanted a quick bang or something but it wasn't a serious relationship.

"I asked what bands you like mate." "Oh"

Johnny nodded, thinking about the question for a moment.

"Ae like rock an stuff ye know? Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd that kinda thing. Why?"

He replied casually, interested in what Simon was up to, he watched as Simon climbed out of his dorm bed and walked over to the desk Johnny was sitting at.

"Just curious about ya, I don't really know much about you Johnny."

Simon said, softly grabbing Johnny’s chin and tilting his head up, his mask was pulled down under his chin and he was smirking.

"Yer fuckin weird mate."

Johnny responded with a sly grin as he grabbed Simon's head, pulling him down into a deep kiss.

"I love ye Ghost." “Love you too Soap."

We'd love to see what you end up doing!

[davidbowie-microfic]

Hello. I saw your post about microfic thing that you're doing. I wondering whether it strictly fanfiction? I mean I can do fanfiction but I would have loved to write some on my own ocs.

Hi, this is a great question! No, you're not limited to just fanfiction. We'd absolutely love to see OCs as well! Just make sure the microfics aren't scenes directly lifted from your original works.

We hadn't considered that people might want to do this, so thank you for bringing it up!
