Year: 2024

Summary:

"It wasn’t that Tim never thought about dying. Of course he did. Every night when he went out dressed as Red. When he fought thugs and villains and rapists and thieves. He could feel death surrounding him in every hit landed, every hit that he let land. He could feel death looking into the eyes of every victim, he feels death as they come to terms with the fact that their lives will never be the same again." _____ Or, Tim's carefully constructed facade collapses around him slowly and then all at once.

Jigsaw Falling Into Place

The Batman isn’t real.” _____ Tim knows something is wrong, if only he would stop forgetting. Or Tim is Joker Junior, his brain copes.

TW // DRUG MENTIONS

“You mean drug dealing?” Aster asked. She wasn’t sure how she felt about helping out drug dealers but if it meant that she would have a place to stay and she was safe from the police, then maybe it was her best option. It certainly beat sitting around in a hostel with nothing to do. At least she would have some sort of income.

“Not necessarily,” Victor told her. “Find something you’re good at and go for it. Dealer? Prostitute? Hacker? Whatever floats your boat.”

The thought of becoming a prostitute didn’t really “float the boat” for Aster and she was horrible with technology but she nodded. Maybe once she earned enough money she would be able to afford to move out of the abandoned pub they had mentioned. 

“Anyway, we’ll leave you to sleep on it,” Henry said as he and Victor stood up. “Goodnight.”

Just as they had reached the doorway, Aster turned to face them. Her voice sounded a lot more confident than she felt but this job was better than no job.

“I’m in.”

Okay so it’s more than a last line but considering the actual last few lines aren’t that interesting without the context, I added more. This is the last part of the Take Us Home draft that I’ve written so far!

Thank you so much for tagging me! I’m tagging anyone who wants to do this 😊 Feedback is also much appreciated!

Sneaking into the minister’s home is the easiest part. At this point, she’s snuck in five times already, which is pathetic of every single one of the embarrasingly high number of hired men posted around the building. Poor minister Cela is most probably getting scammed and that is incredibly fortunate for Jehona.

I was tagged by the lovely @writingonesdreams (I’m a few days late but lately, tumblr is hurling my notifications into a black void so). Anyway, I’m tagging some people who’s writing I’m very interested to see (no pressure though!): @chazzawrites @tae-mv @perditism @beas-writeblr @honeywisteria and literally anyone else who wants to do it because we’ve already established I’m nosey :)).

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/aQV3J8f by Beasoc "Cass was warm, her very soul emanating a heat reminiscent of a gentle flame. Instead of the caustic touch that accompanied his every waking moment, Tim found himself enveloped in soft warmth. He sank into it, recording every sensation in his mind, letting the memories of other, colder touches fade away. Timidly, he reached his arms out, wrapping them around her back before pushing his face into the crook of her neck. Tears streamed silently down his face, staining the dark fabric of Cass’ shirt. She didn’t seem to care, simply holding him closer." Or- Tim finds out how deep rock bottom really goes.

by Beasoc Tim had given everything, his childhood, his parents, his future, and Bruce was still treating him like he was one misstep away from becoming the next psychotic villain of the week. But even that was better than when he was treated like he didn’t exist at all. It had taken him breaking for a fucking apology. He- No one else had to deal with that. Tim lets Bruce marinate in the silence. Lets him think about what he’s done, about what led up to this. He hopes that Bruce hurts just as much as he does, if not more. _____ When you’ve hit rock bottom, the only way left to go is up.
