nsfw ~ 18+ below!

featuring shin from dorohedoro

he’s spreading you out, thighs over his shoulders and his mouth opening wide to french kiss your pussy. The moans escaping your mouth when he initiates the contact sound strained as you attempt to keep yourself quiet. The halls outside this small sitting room were filled with the others in the ‘family’, constantly pacing and waiting for the next mission. Shin is ravenous, consuming the mix of his and his partner’s wetness in his mouth. He moans with you, the same way he moans when he enjoys a good meal. It only grows your moans in volume as your hands desperately reach for his hair, tugging at the blonde locks. He pulls away, only for a second: “keep your hands to yourself.”

Missing Jason Todd is draining. You crave him, in your bones and soul. All thoughts carry to him, how would he treat you? How would Jason soothe your fears at the end of the night? You know your new boyfriend wasn’t him, or near the man you want him to be. It’s so pathetic how you daydream of his existence near you. For him to acknowledge you. Jason made the choice though, no Red Hood chose fighting crime, almost dying nearly every night, over you. No one could compete with Gotham City in Jason’s heart. Still, you can’t help but see his eyes in a stranger’s stare, or hear his voice in a crowd of hundreds. When you binge watched the Twilight movies he often called dumb, joking about how the vampire kid looked a little bit like younger Bruce, you couldn’t share those inside jokes with you new boyfriend. Even your favorite books were tainted by the memory of Jason. The Jason you once knew, before the call of battle stole him away from you.

Idea based on this ^^^^

Being Dick’s friend, oblivious to the fact he is the one and only Nightwing. One night, one spat with bad-luck, and you find yourself in the middle of a gang rivalry fight. The one and only Nightwing swings in to save the day, quickly defeating each and every bad-guy. In the fight his glove got torn, exposing the space-themed bandaid on his right hand’s middle finger. The same design and placement as the bandaid you placed on your friend Dick when he accidentally got scratched by your pet cat.

Imagine the sly smirk on his face, hiding the nervousness he truly felt. The words ‘I guess the cat is outta the bag’ escaping his lips in a bad pun.

You say nothing but ‘thank you’ and race home.

Dick Grayson falling in love with the reader when they give him silly patterned bandaids to cover some of his scraps and cuts...

+18, sexual content, very short thought that passed my head, Jason Todd

Jason Todd who just can’t stop kissing you. He only gets to spend one night a month with you, and it’s impossible to keep his hands away from your curves. His lips keep finding the sensitive spot on your neck, and although you push at his chest, he keeps his attention there.

“Hey,” you protest, clearly overwhelmed by how fast he’s going. At the sound of your voice, he bites down harshly, sucking and licking at the skin. Your hips roll in response, against his thigh as you sit on his lap. He pulled you into him the moment he sat down. You barely had said hello.

“I think you should slow down.” You add, but your body language is stating yes. Your own hands find his hair, tugging softly to pull him off your neck.

“Baby, I can’t,” he states, continuing his hunt to find places to kiss that make you squirm. His fingers slipping to your waist, nails gently digging into the skin. “Come on, princess, I’ve waited long enough. Twenty-three whole days since I tasted you.”

A huff pasted your lips as he kissed up your jawline to your ear. “I need to taste you,” he whispers with a growl in the back of his throat. “I can’t wait any longer. Please?”

When he asked so nicely, how could you say no?

How they are as exs! ~ Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Roy Harper, Kate Kane.

Warnings: Mature! Mentions of stalking- no smut but still 18+ as always! Infidelity? No gender is mentioned for reader, but it may be insinuated reader is afab. Reader is insinuated to be oblivious to the crime fighting career. Bad grammar bc I suck

Dick Grayson is the type of ex to plan things out. He wants to get back with you, he really does. He’s changed, he promises! To show you how much he changed he convinced Wally to invite you to the annual cookout and Barry’s. Bruce didn’t attend, but he sent Dick in his place, and it was the ideal excuse to get his arm around you again. You’d get there and huff, seeing the raven-haired man throwing his arm around your mutual red-haired best friend. You’d only say hi to Wally, even using his full name to indicate you were upset. Soon Barry would come to ease the tension, the man could read a room! After a few beers you’d be open enough to talk to Dick, and his honey-sweet words and charming gestures would overtake you. By the end of the night you were in his lap around the campfire, and he was casually kissing your lips.

Jason Todd will text you, every so often. You swore his number was blocked, you swore the last five numbers he used were blocked, but he’s simply smarter than that. Using texting apps to message you, keeping his messages to you hidden from the world. His text come at the worst time. You’re at work, focusing hard on your task. Then it pops up, on the phone next to you that is supposed to be in your personal bag. You just needed a calculator, and now your heart is racing with both anxiety and excitement! You couldn’t lie, you missed him. Your current boyfriend couldn’t touch you the same, whisper those sweet nothings that made you feel like a goddess before her lost loyal disciple. You responded with great enthusiasm, and he replied with the same energy. Slowly, though, guilt and memories of the past seep in. His immaturity, his mommy issues, his abandonment problems. How clingy, manipulative, and mean he could be- the illusion all comes crumpling down, and soon you find your fingers reaching for the block button. Don’t worry, in a few months you’ll get another message. It’s been two years since the breakup—

Roy Harper is more toxic than the other two. He uses dumb excuses to run into you, going to the same bank, grocery store, gas station. He knows your area, he knows your car and your friends homes. He stalks you, a little bit, but will never be caught. He’s too smart. He’ll tug on your heart strings, messaging you on social media to send you pictures of his cat. (I believe Roy is a cat man.) he’ll say something dumb like ‘we miss you, baby.’ Just reading those messages makes you putty. You’ll persist, and he likes that about you. He’ll send you a gift on your birthday or any holiday you celebrate. He’ll ask you to not block in in a card attached, and soon he’ll be able to see your status again.

Kate Kane and you met at a friend’s party. Having been circling the same group of friends, running into the red haired woman was rather common. Bonding over childhood trauma and her father’s crazy wife. It was fun to meet someone who understood the struggles you went through. When Kate cheated on you, and it was plastered in the front page of all the queer gossips magazines and other social medias. You learned from one of your mutual friends, but the evidence still hurt. You blocked her, and washed your hands clean. Months later she is at your apartment door, stumbling over her words. Her makeup is smeared from crying, and the urge to shut the door in her face is overwhelming. She sobs about how she loved you, and it was a publicity stunt to cover up her father’s own cheating scandal. It’s hard to believe, but when she reaches to kiss you, you don’t stop her.

Is their place clean or dirty? ~ Dick Grayson, Jason Todd.

Warnings - none / bad grammar, not edited!

Richard Grayson has a tidy place, but not because he cleans. He simply doesn’t do anything. He is usually teaching yoga, training with Bruce or his brothers, going out with whichever friend is in Blüdhaven for the weekend, or simply working on an investigation. He doesn’t even have dishes in the sink, because he rarely cooks or eats in his own place. Where Jason’s apartment looks lived in on the best days, Dicks’s apartment is barren. He has a table and enough chairs for each Robin and a few folding chairs incase Babs and Cass join in on their game nights. He has nothing to connect him to Nightwing, but he does have Batman, Superman and even the Flash merch in a variety of items. A lone ‘Flying Graysons’ poster hangs on his wall, next to his varying degrees in law and social work. A picture of him and Bruce hang near, Tim’s prom picture as well, and a school picture of Damian. (Tim and Damian put those photos up, but Damian will not claim he hung his own photo as it would be ‘cringe’.) He has no photos of Babs, Star, or any other possible partners. Even the current one(s). His room only has a bed and a laundry hamper, he hangs his clothing and has a small plastic three drawer dresser for socks, underwear, and whenever else he needs stored. All in all, his flat is boring and also creepy by how well kept it is.

Dick’s ideal partner wouldn’t live with him, in fear of his identity being leaked and them becoming a liability.

Jason Todd’s apartment isn’t the cleanest, but not because he can’t clean, he simply doesn’t have the time. Being a full time vigilante means working awkward and long hours. Working from 8 pm until 6 am means he only has a few hours of sleep before his day begins. Jason tries his best to keep busy, it helps with overthinking. He’ll hang out with his friends and family, go to the library, have a quick snack (or meal) at his favorite ‘ma and pop’ diner. He will also spend a few hours in the batcave/belfry training each day, and then go to a normal gym and train there for an hour so people don’t wonder how or why Bruce Wayne’s adopted son is so jacked.

When Jason’s partner begins to come over he’ll make sure his place is cleaned, but after a few months out of the honeymoon phase he’ll go back to his old habits and it may get messy again. He would love if his partner helped him pick up, and even help him organize the wide selection of reading materials he has, from old newspapers, case files, and poetry.

Starfire presses her lips against Red Hood's to share vital informations with him as quickly as possible. Calmly Jason says

"WHAT THE FUCK YOU USED TO KISS MY FUCKING BROTHER WITH THAT MOUTH ! EWWWW ! EWWWW !"

[moremagicthanzatanna]

One of my many versions of Kittens and Titus was called Danica and Dakota. I wanted to move away from Damian Wayne and Gotham.

It was a short story about a girl, Danica Jackson, who experienced crazy paranormal events as a child.

Her mother didn’t know who her father was, she met him on spring break in Mexico. (Hint hint it was John Constantine). When she turns 14 she begins to have magical abilities such as her door slamming shut when she’s angry, windows opening when she wants them too, stuff like that.

She grew up in the country-side and her next door neighbor (next door as in his house was a mile away and her closest neighbor) was a boy named Dakota. They go to the same school their whole lives and when Danica begins to use magic, Dakota discovers he is growing angel wings. He’s the son of an archangel, and a bunch of angels show up at their 18th birthday party (they were born like 6 days apart just like me and my irl bestie). Danica fights them off with some fire magic, and then Dakota’s mom tells them they have to run for their lives and keep running.

And then Hellblazer’s daughter and this half angel kid work together to save the world from the looming war between angels and demons. They eventually meet Raven/Rachel Roth, and from there meet Jericho, Dick, Star, and I think I had Wonder Girl as the other Titan they work with.

I might write a short based on it! I love how many potential kids John Constantine could have, he’s a slut in my opinion. They all would have similar but different experiences in their lives.

[moremagicthanzatanna]

Jason Todd can always tell what time it is, though he does have to be aware of time zone, and time change. On missions where they are deprived of sunlight and technology, they use him as their clock. The most off Jason had ever been was twenty minutes while being help captive by the Legaue of Shadows for 39 days in an underground prison deprived of any information.

Dick Grayson on the other hand always knows which direction is north. Most of the bat-family has learned how to do this, but Dick was simply born with the ability. He can be blindfolded, spin in circles, driven around, and dropped off in some field, and he’ll know which way is north without needing to look at the stars, or the position of the sun or moon. He just knows.

the freaking twist in the city of owls always got to me w/ dick. they would love this unique bond tho-

Bro imagine if like Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne bond over having evil grandfathers together. Maybe that’s why their so close, but like imagine one of them is like “Did your grandfather ever try to make you his successor to his evil cult of assassins” AND THE OTHER ONE GOES “you will never believe this but-“

[moremagicthanzatanna]

Damian had a hard time adjusting to civilization outside of the shadows and it shows.

[moremagicthanzatanna]

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Batfam Ages:

Okay, there is no such thing as an exact science when determining the ages of the Batfam, but the easiest thing you can do is work of the concrete ages that you /do/ know, and make them fit with canon events to the best of your ability. Now, canon changes all the time—which definitely makes this a challenge, but I’m going to just explain my process for determining their ages and you can disagree if you’d like, or you can use this to write fic like I do where ages are semi important,

Let’s begin. I’m going to give you the arbitrary number of 15, this will be important later.

Dick Grayson:

Depending on the canon, Dick is 8, 10, 12, or 15 when his parents die. All of these numbers will have problems depending on which you pick, but I go for the safe bet of 10 years old. Why? Well, a little known fact is that Dick ends up in juvie after his parents die, and he’s not immediately taken in by Batman. Thus, it takes a little while longer for him to become Robin, which doesn’t immediately happen after he becomes Bruce’s ward anyway, because Batman doesn’t immediately go and spill the beans. Thus, Dick ends up in Bruce’s car at around ten or eleven, but doesn’t become Robin until he’s 12.

Now Dick is Robin up until he’s about 18, when Bruce takes Robin from Dick because it’s too dangerous and Dick refuses to quit. Dick joins up with the teen titans full time, and he’s still Robin for a little while longer until we get Nightwing, aka Discowing, for the very first time at age 19. Simultaneously, while this is happening, a little kid is stealing the Batmobile’s tires.

Jason Todd:

Our beloved street rat Robin, Jason Todd, swings a tire iron at Batman and then gets taken out for fast food. It’s great, it’s cute, it doesn’t immediately lead to his adoption though, either. No, instead Jason ends up in an orphanage that is trafficking children. Bruce shows up one day to check up on Jason, and is made aware of this by his soon to be first adopted son (yeah, you heard me, Dick isn’t adopted yet). They take down the trafficking ring, and Bruce adopts Jason. Jason then becomes Robin at age 13.

Unfortunately for our boy, he was widely disliked by comic fans across North America, DC did a little telephone poll, and by a few hundred votes, DC changed comic history forever by killing off a high profile character what seems like /permanently/ for the first time ever. No resurrections this time. (Hah, right!). Which is to say, Jason Todd has the second shortest run as Robin at just two years, dying at age 15.

Tim Drake:

So then we get Robin numero 3. Tim Drake sees Batman getting darker and more violent and goes y’know, someone should do something about that. He tries talking to Nightwing, but he’s in a bad place with Bruce after learning Jason died via a Newspaper (yeah, Bruce sucks for that one), and tells Tim he won’t be going back to Robin. Thus, lil Timmy Drake gets an idea in his head. He looks himself in the mirror and goes, I can fix him, and then, Tim Drake becomes Robin at age 12.

Tim Drake has one of the longest runs as Robin, with only a mild interruption from a lil blond Bat.

Stephanie Brown:

Stephanie Brown starts off as the vigilante Spoiler, whose whole purpose in life is to spoil the plans of her C-list villain dad, Cluemaster. She meets Robin (Tim), hits him in the face with a brick, and then ends up dating him. Unlike most characters who appear a few times and never come back, Stephanie manages to stick around. She gets pregnant at age 15 (it’s not Tim’s, and no she did not cheat, this happened priorly), she gives birth, the baby is put up for adoption, and she becomes Robin after Tim’s dad, Jack Drake, finds out Tim is Robin and bans him from it. Tim is forced to quit and Stephanie picks up the mantle. She’s clocks in the shortest run as Robin, working with Batman for about two months before Bruce forces her to stop. Tim picks up the mantle again, and Steph goes back to being Spoiler—only to get killed by Black Mask, making her the second “Robin” to die. DC does retcon her death, and we later learn she was only badly beaten and sent off to live in a foreign country before she makes her return.

Jason Todd, Again:

While all this is going on, stuff is happening behind the scenes. Namely, Jason coming back to life. A common misconception here however is how long Jason was actually dead. While I wouldn’t be able to find the panels to confirm it, the true number is a “short” 6 months. Yep, while years passed in the real world, possibly decades, actually, Jason was dead all of 6 months. According to the books, he undigs himself from his grave six feet under (because Superboy punched through the multiverse or something?) and ends up wondering around Gotham as a mindless little zombie. Conveniently, Talia al Ghul stumbles upon her beloved’s lost little bird, and she decides to take him home and train him. He’s with them for a bit, gets dunked into a Lazarus pit, comes back very very angry, is shipped off to the all caste for a bit, and upon his return to the al Ghuls, is informed he’s been replaced by little Timmy Drake.

Jason makes his whole plan, and decides to make a splash by returning to Gotham wearing an old moniker of the Joker’s and taking over Gotham’s underworld. He beheads a few criminals, tries to kill Tim, tries to get Bruce to kill the Joker, and doesn’t really have success in those latter two objectives. That puts Jason at age 19, roughly. We don’t really know how to count the months he was dead.

Damian Wayne:

Shortly after Jason’s unmasking as the Red Hood, Damian Wayne turns 10 years old and beats his mother, Talia al Ghul, in combat. His prize is to be taken to his father and given to him for training. We know definitively that Damian is 10 thanks to this we can measure out the age gaps between the others and get their ages at this point in time. Dick at age 19 became Nightwing, while Jason is made Robin at age 13, so they have a six year age gap. Jason dying 2 years later at age 15 leads to Tim becoming Robin at age 12, they have a 3 year age gap. Tim is Robin for 3 years before Jason comes back and Damian trails after him a few months behind, putting Tim at around 16/17 while Damian is 10. I tend towards 16 instead of 17 because DC stopped aging Tim for a while, so it just makes more sense to pick the lower number. Thus, when Damian is 10, Tim is 16 as is Steph, Jason is 19, and Dick is 25.

Thanks to Damian being quite young, DC has kept an active track of how and when they age him. We know Damian is only with Bruce a few short months before he disappears into the time stream and Dick makes him Robin, and we also know that Damian’s 11th birthday is celebrated after Bruce is reinstated to the proper time. However, DC follows this up by killing Damian and making him the third Robin to die, the second to do so in the suit itself, and he’s dead for a significant number of months. In this time, Dick also dies—as in his heart is stopped by Lex Luthor for a few seconds, and then restarted, after his identity is revealed on live TV. Bruce decides to let the world believe Nightwing died and stayed dead, and Dick is sent off to Spyral to do secret spy stuff for Bruce. There is an issue around here in the “Grayson” run that claims Dick is twenty-one years old, which is ENTIRELY incompatible with the time line I just painstakingly established, and I go ahead and outright dismiss it because it clearly doesn’t work with a majority of canon. While Dick is with Spyral, Damian is brought back to life, and he goes on a year of redemption (which doesn’t actually last a whole year, but I digress). He and Dick meet again, and we move into Rebirth somewhere around here with the conclusion of Spyral and Batman and Robin Eternal.

General Events:

Damian turns 12 presumably sometime during rebirth, although not specified, I do believe Truth and Justice issue #6 to be his 12th or 13th birthday, but I lean towards 12 because of the costumes everyone wears in the issue. Steph is spoiler, Cass is Orphan, Tim is Red Robin, Red Hood has yet to don his solo Outlaw uniform, and Barbara is Batgirl.

I can’t name a specific issue for Damian’s 13th birthday, but it’s canonical that Damian turned 14 in his solo Robin series, Robin (2021) while he was off finding himself before the Lazarus Tournament, and since then, there’s been the Shadow War, Batman Vs Robin, Dark Crisis event somewhere around there, the Lazarus Planet event, Gotham War, DC Knight Terrors, and Beast World event, which catches us up to the modern day world.

Since Damian hasn’t yet turned 15 despite ALL of that going on, and is still for now at least, 14, that means Tim and Steph are 20, Jason is 23, and Dick is 29.

I know I mentioned Cass and Babs, and I would love to give you a proper age for them but I don’t know where to place them in DC canon like I do the others, however people do commonly place Cass roughly around the same age as Jason making her 22 or 23, and Babs tends towards being 6-8 years older than Dick, although that is an age gap DC has been slowly bridging over the years. Still, I put her at 35 years old. I don’t have a reference for Duke Thomas either, but he’s commonly placed as being two years younger than Tim making him 18 currently.

Lastly, I bring back the arbitrary number of 15, given that that is the number of years that separate Dick and Damian, I also use that age gap between Dick and Bruce—meaning that Bruce took Dick in when he was 25, and placing Bruce at 44 years old in main continuity.

Overall Ages Currently:

Bruce Wayne: 44

Barbara Gordon: 35

Dick Grayson: 29

Jason Todd: 23

Cassandra Cain: 22

Tim Drake: 20

Stephanie Brown: 20

Duke Thomas: 18

Damian Wayne: 14

One More Fifteen, Please?

Pairing: Jason Todd x Reader

Genre: fluff! short blurb

Rating: sfw

Count: 600

Warnings: reader is OC based, preschool teacher reader!, gender neutral terms for reader, reader has a little sister who is vigilante, kissing

Baby: Jay, can you take a 15? It’s an emergency.

It was only three hours into Red Hood’s patrol when he crept through their window. They were still awake, hair pulled back with a clip to leave their hair out of their eyes, but the s.o.s. they sent Red Hood had been an emergency, or so Jason thought. Yet they sat at their desk in their bedroom, fingers tapping rapidly at their keyboard, paperwork for their student on the table. When they noticed the Red Hood standing in their room, they quickly closed everything, shoving it to the proper drawer in their small filing cabinet.

“I am so glad you are here,” they told Jason, smiling wide. He adored their smile, it made his heart melt. His partner could express so many different things through their smile: happiness, worry, thankfulness, love. Now they were showing him relief.

Red Hood opened his arms to his lover, and they stood from their desk chair, feet tiredly dragging on the floor while they made their way to him. It felt like an eternity for them to reach the vigilante, but once they had, his large arms embraced their smaller form, and he felt their less muscular arms wrap around him.

“Keeping Gotham safe, huh, big boy?” They asked sarcastically when the two finally pulled away from one another. The timer in the Red Hood’s helmet stated they had hugged for five minutes and twenty seconds. He only had eight minutes left with them, before his fifteen minute break was up.

“I hate when you call me ‘big boy’, babe,” he complains, crossing his arms. The leather of his jacket makes a noise in resistance to the movement, which usually lead to his partner teasing him about how tacky leather was, fake or real. “Did you need something from me?”

“Oh, yeah, I just missed you!” They smiled wide at him, proud of their tactics to get his attention.

He let out a small laugh, checking the timer on his screen, he only had five minutes left. Time was moving too fast. He pulled them into another hug, smelling their shampoo and then he carefully brought his left hand from the small of their back to the bottom of their chin. He tilted their face to him, once again looking at the time.

Four minutes.

He pulled his red helmet off and revealed a much simpler domino mask. He tossed his helmet on the floor, and then Jason leaned in, pressing a kiss onto their lips. They quickly kissed back, and he could taste their lemon flavored lip balm. He groaned at the familiarity, how safe he felt, pressing his lips into theirs.

He felt at home.

The kiss continued, Jason guided them to their couch, they decided having a bed was too difficult to deal with and opt into something more compact, and he sat down, pulling them into his lap. The two never ended their kiss, and when they got comfortable they kiss began to get deeper.

“Hey, sorry to interrupt your booty call, Red Hood, but your break is over,” the voice of Nightwing rang over Jason’s com placed in his right ear. Nightwing’s voice sounded mischievous, mockingly mischievous.

Jason pulled away from his partner, and they slid off his lap. “No!” They whined, knowing it was over. They knew he still had more hours of patrol to put in before he could come back for the night.

“Sorry, baby,” Red Hood replied, standing up from their couch. He could hear the sound of footsteps in their hallway. “Sounds like your sister is home, tell her I say hi.” He stated as he grabbed his helmet. He put it back on as he bent down to climb out their window. “Goodbye.”

“Goodbye,” they replied before their bedroom door opened, revealing their little sister, still in her own vigilante costume.

“Yo, was Red Hood just here? I thought he was responding to a call in the business district.”

“He was on a fifteen.”

Red Hood was on hour five of his patrol, only three more left to go. His phone buzzed, and the message appeared on the screen of his helmet.

Baby: Is it time for another fifteen?

[moremagicthanzatanna]

In Gotham Knights there is audio files from Bruce, I think you unlock them when you complete certain challenges.

I’m listening to them and just imagining how each one feels listening to Bruce talk about his feelings, experiences, and hardships.

I imagine Dick feeling a lot of pressure, especially to feel the same way Bruce did. I think he would use his detective skills to over analyze each word, trying to find the ‘deeper meaning’. Maybe he finds it, but I really don’t think there is anything deeper.

Jason probably doesn’t make it through a single one. He had to do it in about 30 second increments. He gets overwhelmed, it gets hot and hard to breathe. He goes through a lot of emotions: anger, confusions, anxiety, sorrow, anger again, hatred, comfort. It all swirls around him, makes his brain feel foggy. He usually runs out of the belfry in costume shortly after a few rounds go the audio.

Tim would be so excited. He’d obsessively listen to each one. He always has his headphones on, jamming to music, focusing on books, and listening to Bruce. He didn’t get much time with Bruce, he had to convince the others to even let him be Robin in Bruce’s passing. Of course he listens to them as he trains, hoping to get a better idea of what his dead mentor wanted his next Robin to be.

Barbra is mourning her dad. Barbra is mourning her friend and mentor Bruce Wayne. Batgirl is mourning Batman. She tries to keep it separate, so sometimes when she’s on patrol she puts it on. It plays in the headset of her mask. She goes on airplane mode, and she drives the batcycle around and focuses on Batman’s voice. She has a photographic memory, and she honestly doesn’t focus on it too much. Then, when patrol is over and she lays down on her couch, too tired to make it to bed even though it’s going to kill her back, she dreams over everything he spoke about.
