<- A/B/O Anon
HI- *coughs* well, they aren’t exactly headcanons, just ideas I have that I wanna chat about.
I’m on a big Omega!Bruce kick so here they are. (these can or can’t be connected but I do love the idea of them being connected)
1. Brucie Wayne is a known Omega, one that flits from date to date. The thing is, Batman is known as an omega too. This time he’s the embodiment of an Omegan Mom protecting their nest Territory from all threats. Like Omegas used to do in the Olden Times™️, feral behavior and scenting is common >:3
2. A/B/O Dynamics don’t actually exist outside Gotham. Sure, some Gothamites have moved out so A/B/O is known, but isn’t seen outside Gothamites.
So when Dick Grayson came to Gotham he was very confused and didn’t really understand what was going on.
When Bruce eventually scoops him up and brings him home, Dick is even more confused. Atleast in Juvie the A/B/O behaviors were stifled except for posturing, but now outside of Juvie? In the home of an Omega? He’s gonna get the full brunt of Bruce both fussing over him and trying his best to not cross the line of Bruce being his Pack Guardian and not Pack Omega. (Either way, for Dick it’s very much smothering)
It doesn’t click for Bruce or Alfred until Bruce comes sulking to Alfred about his pup being broken and not even accepting being scented! Doesn’t Dick want to feel safe??? No one’s going to touch Dick if he’s smothered in Wayne Scent!!! (Maybe eventually Dick gets startled when he starts to instinctively responding as a pup would/is able to smell scents/feel pack bonds)
3. When Jason gets tossed into the Lazarus pit, it actually repairs his pack bonds. Sure, it’s not perfect, Jason can’t actually reach out through the bonds to respond- but he can feel his Pack’s love, not to mention their desperation to get him back as soon as they realize Jay’s bonds are back. (Talia, meanwhile, is still trying to convince Jay that Bruce doesn’t love him and how he replaced him, but that doesn’t quite work as Jason can feel his Pack’s love- not to mention the absolute adoration coming from the newest, weakest, and youngest link in the pack)
4. And finally four- One of the Robins vanish from the Teen Titans for quite a bit- and when they come back, they’re questioned on where they went. Robin sighs and just says Batman was being broody again, and the Teen Titans just think that Batman was brooding.
In actuality, the Robin had to deal with Bruce being broody in the chicken sense. AKA, “You Are My Child And I Will Keep You In My Nest And Focus Entirely On You And Your Well-being. ..What do you mean taking care of myself? I have to take care of my PUP!”
I absolutely adore all of this. Love the idea of it being a Gotham thing because Gotham is just Like That. Like there's so many curses and magic and who knows how many chemicals that they're like, still human but also just built different.
Gosh, if heats are a thing I like to think they're more platonic. Just, fussing over pack members and being the Broodiest Thing Ever with every family member and will get Upset if one tries to leave the Nest where they are Safe and can be Taken Care Of.
Pfft, the poor Justice League are not prepared for Batman to get broody on a mission and force them all to take care of themselves with no context. They're not his pack, but well, they have fought together and they're sort-of friends, depending on the timeline.
Poor Damian is going to get smothered, Bruce is going to get Very broody the moment Jason returns, and with Another Pup. Tim & Dick get yoinked back from the Titans Tower to be smothered and snuggled and absolutely covered in the family's scent.
Absolutely love the idea of them learning how to be a pup and pack together and am vibrating in utter glee at all of this.

I was wondering if you could write Shadow Milk Cookie taking care of a sick y/n? I'm fighting off a cold myself :') and I love your writing!!! /pos
Requested Prompt #9 - 💓
" i told you not to push yourself." You could hear Shadow Milk huff, feeling the vibrations of his steps before he actually stopped behind your fallen form. " But noooo you just had to get another adventure in and now look where that's gotten you."
You groaned weakly from your place on the forest floor, not even protesting when you were picked up by the much taller cookie. " Shadow Milk..." You groaned out weakly, staring up into displeased heterochromatic blue eyes.
" Sigh, Whatever am I going to do with you?" He mused, poking at your cheek much to your displeasure. He snapped his fingers... not that he actually had fingers though, and opened up a small rift back home. The minute you were placed down you were being intensely analyzed by the gigantic jester.
" ... You're sick." He eventually states, picking you up again as you squirm in protest.
" Nooo... 'm not sick, just tired." You protest with a mutter, quickly silenced by the cloth wrapping around you.
" And here I thought that I was supposed to be the lying one out of the two of us." He chuckled, almost bemused at your feeble attempt to deceive him. " Come on, go get some rest Little Star~" He purred as he picked up your bundled form, carrying you off to his room so he could keep a good eye on you.

Beauty and the Beast for the WIP game?
My only real attempt at writing poetry before this year happened during a stretch when I tried to write a Beauty and the Beast retelling in verse. I got about two-thirds of the way through before it fizzled out and languished forever unfinished.
When it comes to my recent novel-in-verse obsession, the simplest option would be to take another look at this work and try to finish it. There's a lot of terrible poetry in there, but there are some that are somewhat better than I remember. I can't claim to be a judge of what's good poetry, but some of these are readable, so I'll share some of them here.
The first set of semi-readable poems covers the first meetings between Beauty and the Beast. (These are all numbered, and I'm leaving the numbers in place to better differentiate between separate poems. I think the speaker in most of these is fairly clear from context, but just in case, I'll put the speaker's name in the title, too.)
VI. beauty and beast
he is every nightmare i’ve ever forgotten
he is thunder and darkness and death
he is fear with fangs
he is beastly
she is every dream i’ve never dared for
she is roses and sunlight and life
she is hope with jewels
she is beauty
*
VIII. beauty
the chair
creaks
when he sits
my knees
quake
when he speaks
the master
laughs
when i ask
when i will die
my ears
doubt
when i hear
my mind
reels
when i realize
the master
wonders
when i began
to think he’d kill me
IX. beast
the rules are these
you are mistress of this castle
the servants will obey your every whim
the rooms and all within are yours
including me
you will dine with me at dusk
we will not speak if you want silence
you will look at me and try not
to scream
i will not harm a hair of your head
i will not cause a moment’s worry
you will do whatever you wish
except leave
X. beauty
his mercy shatters my world
makes it bigger and
at the same time
smaller
how can i live in a monster’s cage
my life will be long and lonely
with him my friend and
at the same time
jailer
how can i look at a monster’s face
the castle teems with wonders
that all belong to him and
at the same time
me
what do i do with a monster’s love
*
The next set of poems I feel like sharing starts with Beauty finding a portrait in the castle, and then leads into her sharing a dance with Beast that makes her kind of freak out over the fact that she might be falling in love.
XXII. beast
today you found a painting
in a long-forgotten room
covered in cobwebs
and shrouded in dust
there was a reason it was lost
the portrait showed a man
with a face like the dawn
and eyes like the sea
you thought he looked kind
he was young and a fool
you may keep it if you wish
or lock it back in darkness
it matters not to me
i used to see him daily
i doubt i’ll see his face again
*
XXIV. beauty (and beast)
if rooms have souls
the ballroom is wise
a radiant beauty
long past her prime
she treasures the days
when she lived and was loved
she keeps them and counts them
like pearls on a string
(she is not the only one,
my dear)
long past midnight
in moonlight and hush
this sleepwalking girl
can glimpse former days
a flash of a gown
and a whisper of waltz
what glorious balls
must this room have beheld
(they were marvelous indeed,
my friend)
it seems a shame
she grows old alone
with nothing but darkness
and dust held within
i would dance for her
return the spark of life
if only we had music
and i had a partner
(i will gladly dance with you,
my love)
XXV. beast
my dear beauty
don’t you know
i learned dancing
long ago
one step closer
take my hand
with a waltz you’ll
understand
let the music
guide your feet
in a dance that’s
slow and sweet
hand in hand and
heart to heart
it’s not love but
it’s a start
XXVI. beauty
he is
hulking
beastly
i am
small
delicate
i should be
stumbling
crushed
but
we
marvelously
miraculously
dance
and it feels like flying
XXVII. beauty (to the portrait)
man on the wall
i may be mad
but i must
give voice
to the
storm
in my heart
and you are the only one near
the master puzzles me
i know his home as well as my own
but i know so little about him
(is he
beast
or
man
or
nightmare
or
dream
or
captor
or
friend)
i saw his face
and thought him a beast
(but he grows roses
and reads poems
and has never
killed
or even
raised his voice)
i heard his voice
and thought him a monster
(but he spared my life
gave me his home
and all he owned
offered
his
heart
and never once has been
anything but gentle)
i watched him dance
and thought him a man
(with grace like an angel
or a prince
and i think that
maybe
he was not always
so
lonely
and that his heart
aches
for things lost)
what am i to
think
do
say
be
feel
about him now
and why do these questions
always come at midnight
*
The final poem is one that I had completely forgotten about, so I was shocked to find it lurking in the latter sections of the document and showing signs of using some decent imagery. By polishing up the last couple of lines, I've got something that's not half bad as a standalone poem.
This one occurs during an extended period when Beauty is still trying to process her feelings toward Beast and figure out if this is really love or if her feelings are being warped by isolation and close proximity.
XXX. beauty
if this is love
it is a dark and grasping love
a child stumbling in the night
crying for a candle flame
and cherishing the smallest spark of light
if this is love
it is a bleak and desolate love
a skeleton tree in a barren desert
windbeaten and scrubbed to bone
and bursting into bloom at the first drop of rain
if this is love
it is a smoke and mirrors love
a sleight of hand or trick of light
that takes my broken heart
and fools me into thinking he can make it whole
