hello

recently I've been introduced to an au concept where jason is adopted by selina instead of bruce. any fic recs?

'go mad by ricocheting' by Shenanigans

"No, no, Kitten," she'd whispered, snagging the small boy by the back of a ragged collar when he'd started creeping forward out of the shadows in Crime Alley with a gleam of purpose in his eyes.

He'd kicked her, startlingly strong and determinedly violent for such a scrawny package. She'd kept a hand on him, blocking and twisting until she'd managed one quick smack to his forehead, startling him to blink up at her in absolute betrayal.

"Did you just fuckin' flick me, lady?" he'd kept the question hissed and subvocal, aware even in his blatant shock that they needed to stay silent this close to the Bat.

"I would spray you but I left my bottle at home, Kitten," she'd replied in the same low tone, holding his eyes as she kept an ear out for the feel of where Batman would loom from a shadow. "You do not want to steal-"

His freckled face had screwed up as he took a deep breath to argue and she had pressed one sharp tipped claw to hush him.

Wait..

Tim played by Jay Lycurgo in Titans, being Black-Cantonese

Carrie being played by Navia Robinson in Gotham Knights, being Black

And Selina being played by Halle Berry in Catwoman, 2004, being Black

The Catwoman-Catlad-Catgirl trifecta all have Black incarnations.

Catwoman is 100% an anti-capitalist. Like, no debate. Carrie's parents were hippies. Tim literally abandoned being a billionaire to live in a mutual aid focused environment

They're all communists,

They're literally the Black Panthers.

I'm not even saying this as a shitpost or meme this like actually aligns perfectly. Holy fuck. DC needs to get someone to actually fucking write this. Does anyone know any Black communist sequential artists

thinking about an au where kon, has had it up to here with the shenanigans this new thief keeps pulling. every night he comes close to catching him but every night he slips away. it's become a sort game between the two and kon is finding it less and less amusing as it goes on. catlad loves it though. he loves teasing the superhero, he loves letting him come close to catching him just to get a glimpse of his face before slipping away and repeating the cycle all over again.

at least that is until kon finally manages to catch and confront him. but catlad doesn't mind, he reckons the hero deserves a win before he gets away again and they can continue their little game. his unfazed demeanour is enough to thrown kon off, he expected him to put up a fight at least. he's left speechless, partially because he's surprised he's finally caught the elusive thief and also because said thief is currently smiling at him and wow he's actually really handsome close up.

catlad, still smiling and still oddly calm given the situation he's in only tilts his head and says "what's wrong superboy, cat got your tongue?"

@jaytimweek: Different Mentors AU For Tim it was obvious that it would be Stray/Catlad, but Jason I was undecided. Poison Ivy, Deathstroke, Ra's al Ghul… in the end (thank you so much procrastination) I chose Black Mask. That way I would have left also a normal Jason. "E amore accanto a te, baby, accanto a te Io morirò da re, eh-yeah🎶"

IMAGINE..

《Catlad/Stray x Reader! HEADCANONS》

[ Mini Au at the end/separate: where Reader is Robin, while Tim Drake is Catlad! Miraculous Ladybug sorta vibe. [Vigilante Name]

-

Civilian Tim is a rich boy with neglectful parents, who often stalks Batman. But is found out by Catwoman. So, she strikes up a deal with Tim, where he becomes her little helper and he gets to meet Batman. He readily expects, becoming Catlad.

His parents don't die, but are aren't really present in his life. So Selina becomes his parental figure, she even shows off little pictures of them together when she teams up with Harley and Ivy on occasion.

Catlad Tim is cunning and witty. Often making snide remarks and cat-puns when he's confident.

Civilian Tim is shy, but popular, due to his status and smarts.

You smile stupidly as you gaze up at the clouds, lucky enough to make it on the roof of the apartment complex without getting caught. The warmth of the sunset tingling on your skin with the sky being painted in a cotton candy color.

"Well if it isn't Puur-incess! What's got you crawling out from your tower." A cheeky voice calls out, laughing at his own joke.

You roll your eyes, turning your attention to the thief.

"Thinking of my prince charming.." You reply, shoving him playfully.

"Oh..~" He wiggled his arms and made puckered lips. "How can I forgot, you talk about him almost all the time.." Catlad dramatically huffed.

You shrug, "I can't help it. I really like him, he's so-" Before you could rant, the cat themed thief interrupted you.

" "So sweet and nice, he's so handsome and cool! I could gush for hours!" " He mocked, trying to mimic your voice and expressions when you talked about your crush.

"Cut it out!" You yell, managing to put him in a headlock. Messing up his black strands of hair. Your face warm and hot like the sun. Smiling like a idiot.

"I GIVE! I GIVE!" He cried, pushing at your embrace.

You let go as the two of you laugh like lunatics together.

The both of you winding down as you sit together on the stony surface of the apartment building roof.

The sky losing it's pink, becoming a somber lilac..

"He'll be lucky.." Catlad utters out. "To be with someone like you. I m-mean." The sidekick said. Tracing the floor with his claw like gloves, watching you turn to face him. Full of hope, eyes brimming with love.

"You think?" You ask excitedly. Smiling like a fool in love.

"Yeah, your prince charming is probably dreaming to be with someone like you.. I would." He states absent-mindedly.

"Awww, Cat's!" You gush, quickly wrapping your arms around him in a hug. He stiffend at your touch, not used to such positive affection. But he slowly melts in your arms. (He was glad that Catwoman or any other villian wouldn't see him in such a relaxed state.)

"Maybe I should just steal you away.. But then you wouldn't get your happily ever after."

You heard him say, which in turn. Ignore, having gotten used to his flirty remarks. But wince when you felt a sharp pressures on your body.

"Cat's.. Your nails..! There digging into my skin!"

You call to the thief as his claws go deeper into your clothing fabric. He snaps out of it, retracting his claws, but not wanting to fully leave you.

"Sorry! I didn't hurt you, r-right?"

"No! Your good, just, ease up on the grip. Okay?"

"Yeah, yeah.."

The two of you soon depart, watching him jump away from roof to roof.

[If (Y/N) was Robin Mini Au Headcanon]

You would be some kid that Dick and Jason knew. Before Red Hood and beginning Nightwing era.

Bruce wants to adopt you, but you still have a family. So Robin for you, becomes sorta like a part/full time job.

You aren't as smart as Tim, but make up for it with positive traits that has the whole Batfam love you like a little sibling.

Instead of becoming Red Robin, I would see the reader be called [Vigilante Name]/Luckybird. For the saying, 《The Lucky Bird Catches The Worm!》

Tim crushes on your Alter Ego more than the real you. He doesn't know what's your actual identity even though he knows Batmans.

Tim has considered becoming a vigilante for you.

Has often tried to gain your affections while as Catlad in front of Batman.

-

"Heya Birdy~" Catlad calls out to you, waving the rare artifact him and Catwoman had just stolen.

Batman grunts at the teen, trying to protectively shield you with his large frame. Glaring menacingly at the sidekick from underneath his cowl.

Catwoman smirks at Batman, teasingly talking with her partner in crime. "C'mon kitten, why don't we give the Bats and your Bird a little chase?" She winked at the crime fighting duo.

"On it!" Passing a fake to Selina, the two of the cat themed vilians run off into the night.

[Comments and asks appreciated! Thanks for reading! Maybe I'll do another vigilante villian swap again!]

Summary:

“I don’t have time to explain, just follow my lead, don’t give us away and whatever you do, do not contradict me!”

That was all Robin heard before he was suddenly hauled up with gloved hands from his vantage point on the top of the warehouse across the one over that he was watching. He hadn’t even heard Stray approach him, which seemed impossible cause the cat burglar was clearly in some kind of rush and now that Robin was aware of him, making quite a ruckus.

“What the hell are you-“

“Shh! This is gonna be hard enough without your questions and your banter.” The cat hissed, ripping off his cape with fluid ease and forcing Robin into a black leather jacket. Where had that come from? “Well! Zip it up! And put these one, honestly, you are wearing panties.” Stray huffed, throwing a pair of leather pants in the vigilante’s face before scouting around the door that lead down into the warehouse.

 Jason was just trying to keep to his mission, case out this warehouse near the docks, see if anything was going on there to confirm the whispers, but no, stupid Stray just had to crash his patrol and make a huge mess of things. He didn't sign up for this, he was Robin Boy Wonder, not cat boy's little helper.

ik in the au's as selina's protege/sidekick/etc the boys are generally called stray or catlad

but in my fem jason adopted by selina au, julie (jay) is called *alley cat* (before growing up and shit hitting the fan) bc ofc, and i don't think i ever saw that and i think that's unfortunate

[thevoidisscreamingbackatyou]

i saw a timkon post and my brain went "ooo, idea"

this idea can go both ways but

timber catlad & robin

jUST-

tbh i think bernard would be robin and tim would be catlad simply because they fit the personalities

bernard is a ball of sunshine and pulls batsy out of his shell when hes being dumb and angsty over jason and killing people

and then tim got adopted by selina who saw him alone as a tiny child and went "oh my claws a kitten"

so just yeah fjsbfksbfk

[cactus-fruit-juice]

I love the idea of Selina adopting Jason / Stray / Catlad Jason for multiple reasons

1: already has experience with thieving from growing up in crime alley. (Literally stole the tires off the batmobile, iconic)

2: he is built like a tank. Arguably the least stealthy body type out of any of the robins. Yes he's good at stealth, yes he's still flexible, but the idea of him having to find alternative routes all the time because "no Selina I can't fit in the vent" is incredibly funny to me. And yeah it's like he might have a body type like that because of how he trained but considering he came to his massive build while literally training under assassins (where stealth is key) it makes me think tank is just in his blood.

3. The outfit!? Would it just be an all black vibe with a leather jacket so he kinda just looks like a normal angsty dude when he's not wearing a mask? Would he still have a helmet? Would it have cat ears? I doubt he'd go with a completely leather fit like Selina but he'd probs still go with a leather jacket. Either way the options are either he looks like a normal person that just is next to catwoman or he also has a strong cat motif and I love both options

[pearalu]

I drew this a long time ago but never posted it cuz I hadn’t reached the point in the story where Damian gets his cat ears. As of chapter 11, he finally has his cat ears! He still doesn’t have a code name, but he will have one by the end of the fic. 😉

I’m excited to get more into drawing, hopefully I’ll make more fanart for my fic. (I’ll leave a link at the bottom in case y’all have no idea about what fic I’m talking about 😅 it’s basically a stray/catlad au set in the DCAMU, taking place in the Son of Batman movie)

pls i need more catlad timkon au content

I am thinking of writing a oneshot based on the AU at some point. I'm not sure when I'll get down to that BUT whenever I do write it I'll post it here!!
