#ft. kons genderisms :)

[mamawasatesttube]

from the gentle prompts list, "Can I do your hair?" :)

Tim stands in the doorway for several seconds, watching.

Kon looks... Kon looks amazing. They don't go to fancy events like this awards banquet thing too often, so getting to see Kon all dolled up to the nines is a treat. He's already dressed (a smart pair of dress pants and a startlingly delicate blouse that hugs his figure just so, paired with both a choker and a dangly pendant that keeps drawing Tim's eye lower), and he's perched on an invisible stool in front of the mirror as he does his makeup.

He knows Tim's there, of course, but for a few heartbeats, he doesn't say anything. Just keeps humming to himself as he carefully draws on some bold, winged eyeliner, then adds a bit of glitter on top.

Fondness curls into Tim's chest like a cat in front of a fireplace, warm and cozy. He drifts forward, drawn in helplessly by Kon's gravity, and brushes his fingers against the warm skin of the nape of Kon's neck.

Kon shivers. Tim smiles.

"Hi." Kon glances over his shoulder with a smile. His lips are an enchanting, enticing shade of burgundy. "I'm almost ready, I swear." He pauses, gives Tim a none-too-subtle once-over; his smile grows. "You sure clean up nice, gearhead."

Tim laughs. "So do you, farm boy." He rubs his thumb over the base of Kon's neck, smooths over the ridges in his spine. "Just about done?"

"Yeah, almost." Kon's makeup straightens up on the vanity, then slides back into place in the top drawer. "We're not late yet, are we? Lois'll never let me hear the end of it if we are."

"Nah, we have a little bit before we need to head out." A wry smile curls at Tim's lips. "And she's right. You guys all have superspeed. You really have no excuses for being late, ever." He pauses, glances at Kon. "What else do you need to do...?"

Kon catches his eye in the mirror and looks at him like he's grown a second head. "Uh, my hair? Obviously?"

Kon's been growing his hair out lately, like he did when he was seventeen. It's even longer than it ever got back then, now, reaching a little past his chin. It's soft and curly and shiny, and every time Tim buries his face in it, it smells like coconuts and sunshine.

Tim tilts his head. Kon's hair, like the rest of him, looks perfect. "Uh..."

And then it hits him. Kon's nervous. He'd deny it til he's blue in the face, if Tim asked out loud, but he hasn't been to a fancy-schmany kind of thing where people might judge appearances in a while, and even if he claims he's always been used to cameras in his face, even if he's a juggernaut with terrifying amounts of power in his hands, even if he can always pull on a smile at the worst of times... he's delicate. His heart. It's delicate.

He hasn't been to a big, public event like this awards banquet for Lois in a while. This is the first time he's going to one in a kinda femme outfit, with longer hair than he's ever had, with painted nails and glitter on his face. No wonder he's nervous. He's always been anxious about how others see him, whether he admits it or not.

That delicate heart, though? It's in Tim's hands, and he knows precisely how to keep it safe.

"Oh, right." Tim hums, trailing his hand up Kon's neck to toy with one of his springy curls. "Hey. Can I do your hair?"

Kon's eyes widen in the mirror. They narrow almost instantly, but Tim saw that look. Kon's always startled when Tim can see right through him.

"You better not ruin my curls," Kon threatens, but he lowers his hands to his lap anyway. "But fine. If I look stupid, it'll be your fault."

There, Tim thinks. Tim having a hand in his look tonight will make him feel a little more confident. If he let it, the amount of trust Kon places in him would take Tim's breath away.

As it is, Tim just hides a grin as he drops a quick kiss to the top of Kon's head, then starts to carefully comb his fingers through, to neaten up his natural part. "Yeah, yeah. Have some faith in me."

Kon sucks in a tiny breath, almost imperceptible. "I do," he says, his voice softer, gentler. He catches Tim's eye in the mirror, and though he doesn't seem like he can find any other words, Tim hears them all anyway.

"Yeah," he says, and reaches for the barette Kon left on the vanity. "I know."

indecision once again... i have a few short fics in the works for the gotcha for gaza prompts but i need to figure out what the bigger thing(s) to put on the back burner are... halp

i will take answer. tomorrow! sometime. because my head is killing me rn. ough

[mamawasatesttube]

just realized i have started three different wips around koncass+tim as a trio this past month. there's the koncass gender fic ft. background tim experiencing bisexual distress and cass laughing at him about it, there's the koncass kick ass fic ft. background tim as damsel in distress who's mad about it, and then the kon + cass + tim fic i started last night... tfw ur local invulnerable alien bestie gets the alien plague 😔 and is a terrible patient about it 😔 and ur brother is putting on his absolutely worst bedside manner bc hes worried abt the terrible patient 😔 so you have to go smack them both 😌😌😌

in conclusion. kon cass tim excellent trio i love this dynamic

[mamawasatesttube]

hi guys it's me indecision mcmike here to foist my evening writing plans onto you all while i play totk for a bit <3

[mamawasatesttube]

14. hello comic book enjoyer have you written something that u wish u could see a comic of? and or 5

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

hmmm. right now the one pingponging around in my head that i don't think i'm ever gonna get into is the tim and cass (ft. dick and kon) "a LOT of issues about gender" fic, in which cass is trying really hard to understand what gender and gendered language even fucking are, doesn't get why gendered pronouns are different for different people with seemingly arbitrary reasoning, and accidentally misgenders transmasc tim, who tries to explain to her that no he just really strongly prefers not to be called that, but she can tell she's hurt him but she doesn't get why.

it would get into a) tim's very convoluted feelings about gender (tim drake, jack drake's all-american son, is a boy. robin can't bind, though, because of all the strenuous activity; robin only has stiff shapewear in the costume. so robin isn't as good at being a boy as tim drake. and so on and so forth) and also b) cass's general "what the fuck do i do with any of this" approach to gender, attraction, and all that, and the way so much of it is tied to language. ft. kon, who gives tim gender envy he doesn't have words for (and whose automatic implicit assumption that of course robin is a boy, why would he even question that, always makes tim feel a little better when he's having a dysphoria day), and dick, who is best able to communicate things to cass bc dick's gender is "acrobat" and there is always an aspect of performance to it for him.

i am never gonna write this bc i don't wanna think about gender this much. and also it's complicated and subjective and just. augh. it'd be so much work. but i do think about it a lot

14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?

HM!!!! i think sun-kissed. sotm is too long and introspective to make a good comic i think, but sun-kissed has a lot with visual imagery that could be fun, plus a balance between physical description, action, dialogue, and internal monologue that'd make for decent visuals with narration!!! that'd be really cool actually lkdjsdhjk omg

fanfic writer asks!

[mamawasatesttube]

its that time of day again (i foist my indecision onto you all while i go take a nap). help im struggling between wips again
