Need me more Timkon fics that feel like this

[mockstarling]

Uncommon DC Nicknames HCs:

Tim calls Barnard "bear"

Kon calls Bart "sunshine"

Kon also calls Thaddeus "moonshine"

Selena calls Damian "pup" (that's what a baby bat is called)

John Constantine calls Bruce "babe" for kicks

Billy Batson calls Bruce "gramps"

The batkids call Selena "mom"

Damian calls Jason "baba" (but only to himself/in his head)

Lex calls Kon "prínkipas" (that's how you pronounce prince in Greek apparently)

Any other suggestions? Tell me in the comments!

Greetings!

I was wondering about your thoughts on Bernard Dowd for the Owl Court Family AU, you said the Drakes were new money and that’s why they’re (in part) not a part of the Court.

Based off what we’ve seen of seen of Bernard’s parents in Tim Drake: Robin we know that 1) they have money (but not if it’s new or old money) and 2) that they’re up to something SHADY.

Would you imagine them as part of the Court? Part of some other organization/cult?

Do Tim and Bernard get together in this AU, and does that cause any drama because of Bernard’s shady parents?

How do the others react to them getting together if they do?

——

I personally can imagine Bernard’s parents, if they know about the Court, but aren’t a part of it, after finding out about Bernard’s crush on Tim, trying to get him to “snap out of it” (His mom did call Tim Bernard’s “friend” in Tim Drake: Robin #7) and then when that didn’t work think well, if he’s into Tim Drake, might as well make the most of it and try to manipulate the situation

Which, if that’s the case, poor Barnard because things would definitely not go well for the Dowd’s if Cobb found out about that 👀

——

(Sorry for the many questions/mini rant lol, I think your AU is really neat and I’m rather curious about how Bernard might be incorporated if he is)

Thank you for reading my rambles! ^.^

Hi! 💚

So I can totally see the Dowds being part of the Court, but also… I can see them keeping their… “extracurriculars”… a secret from their son (for whatever reason).

Bernard is the ultimate fanboy of anything vigilante/conspiracy related, and with the absence of actually vigilantes in Gotham I think he’d fixate on rumors of shady cults. Like the Court of Owls (something his parents are none too happy about).

Of course, there’s also Robin/Nightwing beating up criminals eventually, always accompanied by something darker, something scarier, that keeps the Boy Wonder safe. Bernard only gets far enough in his investigations to hear about “the Gray Son of Gotham” before he hits a dead end though, so everything beyond that is mostly speculation.

I think Bernard and Tim would meet in school during the time neither of them have anything to do with the Court. Maybe they’re friends, or perhaps just acquaintances. Either way, Tim ends up falling head first into the world of the Court (thanks to Jason’s near death) and as a consequence he would probably cut back on interacting with his civilian friends a lot. At first out of fear that Cobb will make true on his threat to kill everyone Tim loves, and later because… well, the damage of distance is done.

But they’d meet again a little later, hit it off (Tim just can’t help finding all those wild conspiracy theories absolutely adorable. Shut up, Bruce, I remember you staring at Will all night last night because the guys smiled), and I’d like to say the rest is history but… it’s not.

When Bernard works up the nerve to tell his parents about Tim Drake being his boyfriend… they appear curiously delighted. Ecstatic, even. Encouraging meetings and dates and inquiring one too many times if everything is going alright between them. (Never asking if Bernard is treated well, never asking if he is happy, only Drake, Drake, Drake…)

And naturally, the Dowds go too far. Demand too much. And Cobb becomes suspicious of their motives, uncovers a whole lot of dirt on the Dowds, and… well, the Court of Owls does not tolerate traitors. One foul egg spoils the whole batch. Court protocol is to exterminate the entire immediate family.

Including Bernard…

DC Comics Crack Ships I have but they slowly get more and more deranged

Note: Some of these ships I do not necessarily want to see/won't make sense in the comics. Most of these are more of fun fanfic pairings.

Timberkon

Kon el × Timothy Drake × Barnard Dowd

Barnard would die if he gets to date two heros, the fanboy could never.

Tim Drake has two hands.

The unwanted punk with daddy issues² dates the successful sleep deprived coffee addicted CEO and the civilian fanboy conspiracy theorist with a high pain tolerance.

Both Tim and Kon thought Barnard knew, but no; he no know. Choatic endeavors is the ultimate result.

Wonderlois

Diana Prince × Lois Lane

The lesbian power couple.

I can mainly only see this in an universe where Lois and Clark never get married which is kinda sad beacuse I love Jon Kent with all my heart.

They would share clothes and their wardrobe is above literally every other person they both know. Including Brucie Wayne.

Both of them would be strong women and LGBTQIA+ rights activist.

Superbruclex?

Clark Kent × Bruce Wayne × Lex Luthor

Bruce is more than happy to sit back and let his boyfriends do the talking for him. Lex talks at galas and the like while Clark does it for more casual/superhero situations.

Lex realizes that Bruce and Clark look a lot alike and gets scared that he might have a very specific type. This fear doubles after he finds out that they're both heros.

Bruce realizes that he has to explain polyamorous relationships to his sons (mostly Damian).

The two rich boys fall for the god of all farm boys.

Rasvan?

Vandal Savage × Ra's al Ghul

Old dudes need love too, okay

Sideburn buddies.

Honestly, they would get together just to do the do only to find that they like eachother after years of this type of relationship. They also found that they got more and more domestic with eachother over time.

Ra's al Ghul faces homophobia from his children (especially since he has never been with anyone after his wife/their mother passed). He hides with Vandal Savage after that beacuse they kinda kicked him out. However, Damian finds out much later and hunts him down to tell him in person that he accepts him. Ra's al Ghul actually cries in front of Damian and Vandal; he showed weakness.

[mockstarling]

I was making a Tiktok about Kon-El with the audio that says, "stop! She is engaged with someone else, okay," as a reference to Tim and Barnard and it corrected 'konel' to 'lonely'!! 🤣
