Prompt:

Duke doesn’t know what’s going on with the crime lord that sometimes is, and then again isn’t allowed at the cave.

All he knows is that the mood of the entire manor takes a nose dive each and every time there‘s an altercation with him, and everybody goes out of their way to NOT explain anything to Duke.

So, as the only one in the manor with more than one brain cell dedicated to proper human interaction, he decides to take the easiest route and just ask Red Hood himself. Considering he‘s the only one the guy hasn’t tried to maim at least once.

Some Leviathan for the ask game please 👀 Also, love your fics and prompts 💙

Featuring the first chapter from Jason‘s PoV for the Leviathan Mer!Jason fic!

But he‘s still a smol baby Leviathan and Bruce and Dick totally think he‘s exaggerating when he keeps telling them he‘ll grow larger than both of them combined. 👁️🌊

[ghost-bxrd]

hey :)

I saw your sneak peak on I (this too) alive and was wondering what the fic was about?

I don’t wanna give too much away, but essentially it will boil down to Damian mentioning he has an older brother, and everyone else assuming they missed an entire child of Bruce‘s being raised by the League. 👁️

[ghost-bxrd]

I made him a tutorial on how to be buried and I told my father to eat the bones 👀👀👀 What is this???

A new and upcoming fic featuring (in no specific order):

Fake possession

Tauntings about dead family members

The Lazarus Pit as a convenient plot device

Hi!! For the ask game: Antithesis of Magic?

(It's my favorite of your works currently!!!!)

I’m so happy you like it 💚💚💚 it’s one of my fave fics to write ✨ alas, also one of the more complicated and world building heavy ones >.<

Since I’ve already shared a snippet of the new chapter some time ago, here are some more bullet points for it:

Jason reestablishing his assortment of trustable goons

MJ obtaining some vigilante gadgets

Robin

Bernard’s horrifying ordeal of babysitting

[ghost-bxrd]

For the ask game! I (this too) alive

“Your brother,” Bruce starts, stops, steels himself, “He is… Talia’s?”

Damian looks utterly confused, and, oh no, Dick can just feel the onset of a migraine happening like a train crash in slow motion.

“Of course.”

From where he’s sitting, wounds forgotten, Tim is openly gaping now, something like horror in his eyes. No doubt he’s currently imagining another demon spawn trying to cut his grapple line and succeeding, “Never come up— are you kidding!?”

Bruce’s face spasms. Dick wonders hysterically if he’s about to witness someone having a stroke.

“And how old,” he butts in quickly, trying to stick to the important facts because there’s still a good chance that even if the second demon child is also Talia’s, he’s not Bruce’s, and also because, frankly, if he takes more than ten seconds to really think about it he might just try and brain himself on the next good bannister. Something that Alfred would not like at all.

“Nineteen,” Damian responds readily, but there’s a glint in his eyes now that hadn’t been there before, something cautious. Dick knows that look, and he tries to subtly alert Bruce that they have a couple questions left at most before the boy will shut them out.

Bruce, though he’s got the emotional intelligence of a tea spoon, thankfully catches on after a few beats of intense staring, and bulldozes straight to the next question. (Dick is not looking forward to the breakdown from hell a’la Bruce happening later today.)

Which, smart. Damian looks like he’s down to strict, preferably monosyllabic, answers and will fight Bruce with his teeth and an assortment of disguised weaponry if he pushes for more.

Either way, considering it’s Damian, it will end in blood.

“Nineteen, that’s quite…“ Bruce visibly struggles, “old.” He finishes lamely.

Damian’s expression becomes positively frosty and Dick tries to make it look like an accident when he steps on Bruce’s foot. With force.

“Mother and I are grateful for every year we are granted with him,” the boy says stiffly, the barest hint of an accent slipping through the way it tends to when Damian feels cornered and angry, before he visibly reins himself back in and Dick mentally counts down to one.

One more. One question until the baby demon starts throwing sharp things.

B better make it count and ask for the poor kid’s whereabouts or Dick will—

“And why did your mother not bring him to me also?”

— Dick will put laxatives into B’s morning smoothie. God help him, he will dump an entire pharmacy worth of it in there and shove it down B’s throat and make him attend every grueling board meeting he tends to skimp on right after.

can you talk more about Vanished. pretty pleaseeeeeee

Some more bullet points from my notes:

Bruce thinks Jason essentially committed suicide after accusing him of murder

Bio dad Bruce ?????????

Some not so mild psychological torment

[ghost-bxrd]

For the WIP tag game ask, I’m going with 9. Spectral! I can’t remember if you’ve talked about that before, but I’m intrigued.

Spectral has its title taken from a song by Mareux (Spectral Tease) and will feature Red Hood killing a certain spider :))))

[ghost-bxrd]

for the WIP ask game: jaytim spite? pretty please? :)

The JayTim fic that will feature cringy romance and copious amounts of misunderstandings as the batfam assume Tim is dating a 40+ years old crime lord 🤭

[ghost-bxrd]

"I made him a tutorial on how to be buried and I told my father to eat the bones" for the WIP ask game? 👀👀👀👀

[ghost-bxrd]

For the wip ask game - birds of terror?

Owl Song verse, a new player makes his appearance in Gotham 👁️

[ghost-bxrd]

!!!! ADORE the road trip AU!!!! If you don't mind, could you share the heights of Calvin and Jay? Jay was 4'6 at 15 by the information in his death certificate, is he still just teeny? That boy is growing no more than 5'4 and that's infinitely funny to me.

Awe I’m so happy you liked it 💚💚💚💚

And roughly a year has passed since Jason’s resurrection, so he didn’t grow very much in that time span (though not for a lack of trying on Calvin’s part. But there’s only so much a teenager can eat 🤣). I headcanon him to be about 4’8 at that point.

Calvin is canonically 5’10 if I recall correctly! ✨

[ghost-bxrd]

“For the last time, I’m not modifying a car we’ll be ditching a few towns over.”

“Why, you got better things to do?”

“Yeah, getting food on the table, you leech.”

Jason sticks his tongue out, disgusting peanut-mesh and all. It’s not his fault the guy decided to take in a stray cat. Finders, keepers.

Calvin rolls his eyes and gets out of the car, grumbling something uncharitable as he wrestles the seatbelt back into the socket, “I liked you better when you talked gibberish.”

Jason stretches once, wincing when the movement pulls on his scars, and follows Calvin with one last glance at the otherwise empty parking lot. Both their doors falling shut with a little more force than necessary.

“A crowbar and a coffin and you’ll have me right back to the original.”

Calvin pushes him from the sidewalk and into a dirty puddle, “Jesus, I’ll get second-hand trauma from you one of these days kid.”

Sometimes healing means going on a road trip with an ex-talon.
