Thinking about stone city again, cause I finally finished season 4 of Lego Monkie Kid.
Im thinking of an MK who accepts that he has a monkey-demon form but doesn’t use it because he isn’t accepting it properly. He uses it like one of the transformations- for a power boost when he’s struggling.
And both Wukong and Macaque eventually sit him down like “You’ve got to accept that this is you. This isn’t a transformation, this isn’t a wild card play, and this isn’t a power boost. This is your natural state. More than your mortal state.”
but I’m rambling
the point I’m getting to is MK not knowing how to hold back his punches at all when in monkey-demon form, and Danny being his mentor.
but let’s say they’re around the same age
stone city au of course, so they’ve both met in the wrong dimension and neither of them belong here. Gotham is… interesting. Kind of frightening.
And Danny has to figure out the best way to teach MK how to pull his punches now that he’s tapped into that amount of power permanently, while also juggling his secret identity and trying his best to make one for MK.
MK’s from a dimension where everyone knows who he is. He waves and takes photos with pedestrians. He doesn’t hide his face. Everyone knows MK stands for Monkey Kid.
So now Danny’s trying to keep them both under the radar, but MK’s terrible at that because his first thought when seeing trouble is to throw hands- not mask up. And Danny’s gotta train him not to level the city whenever he turns with that tail of his. AND HES AVOIDING THE BATFAM.
personally, in my opinion? Bros fucked.

(Enjoy the quick drawing up top) Some DC x LMK headcannons. I really need a name for this AU. I’ll be posting some Batfam headcannons about this au next. Have some general lmk oriented hcs for now
Here’s a link to the DC general headcannons. Enjoy:
· Still working on how exactly she got there
· Cass lives with MK in the apartment above Pigsy’s (it’s a 2-bedroom apartment in this au)
· Shadowpeach :)
· After season 3, Wukong and Macaque become a family with Bai He, Mk, and Cass
· Rumble and Savage are a part of the family too cause I say so
· Bai He gets taken in and now Cass and MK have a younger sister
· Cass and MK have 3 dads now- Wukong, Macaque, and Pigsy with Sandy and Tang as odd uncles
· Bai He ends up keeping LBD’s powers and gains ✨trauma✨
· Cass is Macaque’s successor as a treat
· Cass started to train with Macaque towards the end of season 2 before season 3. She can tell he’s really not that bad. It took a lot pestering, but Macaque finally gave in. Cass forced Macaque to try and start his redemption arc earlier in this au
· It slowly starts working as he warms up to her
· She warms his heart and the next thing you know, Cass gains another dad
· When he chased them in season 3 she was disappointed
· Later she (kinda) understands his reasoning but still gives him shit about it. She lectures him on how he went about it all wrong and that he shoulda came to them instead
· Wholesome family moments ensure
· Cass is 16 and MK is 19 when he first finds Monkey King’s staff
· She was there with him when he got it, so she knows he’s not lying
· After season 3 MK and Cass are no longer human
· They’re both Demi-Demons not yet fully demons
· They have pointier ears, fangs, and are stronger and more durable than regular humans
· It takes them a while to notice
· Mei is a dragon. By the time season 3 is over has patches of scales and pointier ears. She’s always had fangs. When she feels strong negative emotions, her eyes becomes more dragon like.
· They all don’t notice until Tang points it out. They celebrate this by going out to the anti-grav arcade and eating whatever junk food they find.
· They drag Red Son along
· He pretends to hate it
· The four are all really good friends and they cause trouble a lot for fun.
· They’re a terrifying group but they all love and care about each other deeply. God forbid you try hurting one of them

just bsf!dick grayson making you squirt and calling you babe... as a friend of course
“you mean- never?” dick grayson inquires in a flat tone, almost in disbelief. you confirm with a simple and high pitched nope, speaking of all the times you’ve failed to cum using just your hand.
he’s ecstatic at the idea, even if he suspects it’s your attempt of getting him back in your bed. he’s subject to details like this, being your best friend. not to mention you’ve had conversations similar before; but this time is different. this time, you’re having a casual conversation about your bland sex life a week after dick got the chance to fuck the lights out of you; and the chance wasn’t missed, nor a regret. so yes, he sees the bait, and he’s more than happy to take it.
like the clever bastard he is, dick gets you to give him the green light rather than blatantly falling for it. I've slept with people like that, he boasts, you know me though. a few more sneaky remarks and you're sucking the inside of your cheek in defeat before you tell him to 'demonstrate'.
now he’s got a hand down your shorts, carefully situating you into his lap and keeping a steady hand pinching at the fat of your hips. "how's that?" dick asks, circling your clit with generous pressure before slipping right inside. his fingers hit you deep, way deeper than your own or anyone else's, and that little fact has him all the more eager.
calculated efforts nudge at that sweet spot and you gasp, thighs flinching and giving him more room to get a little deeper. you glance at him with an almost awkward expression but he’s already enthralled, lazily tugging your shorts down a bit further with a hungry glint in his eye.
“it’ll feel better when you calm down,” dick coos at you, a sly hand slipping under your shirt to brush over a hardened nipple. “relax for me.” he’s gentle with you despite his brewing impatience, scissoring and spreading your cunt open on his fingers to coax you out of your nervousness. you start rolling your hips and his fingers curl way deeper, eyes shooting open with a soft cry of his name.
“it feels…“ you start with a pleasurable hitch of breath, “feels-“
“good?” he finishes the thought for you with a particularly deep thrust, “I know, sweetheart, but it’ll get better.”
his thumb barely touches your clit and you tremble, arms clinging around his neck as you gasp and whine right into his ear. pretty little noises just for him as his free hand palms your breast, urging you closer and closer into him until you’re moaning into his mouth. from this angle his kisses are sloppy, swallowing up your keens as he finds the speed that has you writhing in his lap.
“yeah- keep doin’ that,” dick manages between kisses, spreading your legs wider as you twitch around him and you swear you hear him moan with you. “just like that, baby- fuck, you’re gorgeous.”
“dickie,” you whine, half outta your mind with pleasure, “‘m close- so close, please-“
“I know, sweets, give it to me-“ he pants with you, lips loosely catching yours just before he catches the perfect angle inside you, “cum for me, pretty girl, c’mon.“
your hips grind into his leg a few more times and you cry, holding dick close and practically crumbling in his grasp as you leak around his knuckles. dick talks you through what feels like a never ending orgasm and his hand fails to stop moving, mesmerized by what he’s pulled out of you, sticky fluids dripping into his palm as your pussy squelches around his fingers and you whine.
“dick, I- shit- I just-“
“I know, babe,” he confirms with a pleased grin, still holding you in his lap with the perfect view of your mess. “relax, remember? lemme try something.”
dick shuffles from beneath you until you’re sitting right on top of his cock, throbbing through flimsy pajamas while he works out a new angle. you’re dazed and a bit confused, still trembling in overstimulation until the coil swells into another rapidly approaching orgasm. he’s nudging at your g-spot over and over with more intensity, kissing at your shoulder while groping your tits and it has you damn near tears.
“you feel that, yeah?” he checks, “deep in your tummy? let it go, baby- let me see it.”
you can’t wrap your head around what he’s looking for, but you give it to him regardless- head hanging over his shoulder with a desperate whine and arching away from dick. distantly, you feel the fabric under you, soaked beyond what you thought normal as he trails off in praise over your moans. “goddamn, that was gorgeous- all for me, huh?” his fingers pump in and out a few more times as the high fades, then removing them to finally rest. “was I the first to see that?”
it takes a moment of recovery—deep and staggered breaths with a low whine before processing the mess. before processing that your best friend just made you fucking squirt.
“oh my god,“ you stumble over words, “i’m sorry, dick, I didn’t-“
“babe,” he cuts you off with the casual endearment again, “you’re telling me no one’s made you do that before?” his hand’s soiled with your slick and cum and he brings it to his mouth with no hesitation, letting you slide out of his lap as his tongue laps around his fingers.
“mm… no,” you mutter while ogling at the hard-on straining his ruined pajamas, “I didn’t… I didn’t even know I could do that,” and after a moment, the awkwardness finally seeps away when he laughs out of content with himself.
“y’think you could give me another?” he asks with no shame, kneeling between your legs with the intent of getting his proper fill. “it’ll be better with tongue, too- when you cum, I mean,” he corrects himself as if he gave away his shameful thirst, like you wouldn’t catch on. like you wouldn’t remember how your best friend’s so easily pussy whipped.
dick doesn’t even give you time to answer his question, though, pulling you to the edge of the couch and suckling on your clit as he locks your thighs around his head. you can tell from the groan that vibrates through you that he’s palming his cock through the fabric drenched in your fluids, and you can tell that he fully intends to pull another orgasm out of you all under the guise of ‘demonstrating’ for you.
“you’re shameless, dick grayson.”
“‘nd you taste good,” he mutters matter-of-factly, “I don’t see how you could blame me.” ❧

Dp x Dc prompt #2
Danny doesn’t often go to protests. But this time when Sam asked him to come along to an Animal Rights protest, he accepted.
It’s when they leave Amity when he gets knocked down by Cujo, who decided that that moment was the perfect time to play a game of fetch, that he decides to just take the little guy along to the protest.
He couldn’t say no to that little face that looked at him oh so sadly when he told Cujo they couldn’t play right now cause he had somewhere to go.
And besides, what could go wrong?
He didn’t think he would end up in an argument with another guy at the protest about the hypocrisy of going to an animal protest with an animal that seems to be cruelly dyed a different color.
Now, how does he explain to this guy that Cujo is naturally green?

warnings: sex pollen but it’s a dick grayson solo special 💫
★・・・★・・・★・・・★
he’s not sure how he made it home in one piece, but the second he’s through the front door of his apartment, dick grayson is wrestling his way out of his nightwing suit, his ears ringing as he stumbles through his room and into his bathroom. his skin feels hot, too hot, and his breathing is ragged; ivy, he thinks hazily, discarding his suit on the floor. those fucking plants—it’s that goddamn pollen.
he rids himself of his boxers, and catches a glimpse of his sweaty, flushed appearance in the mirror. dick’s pupils are so wide that his blue eyes are almost black, and his cock is painfully hard, the tip red and angry as it leaks precum down his length. he grimaces as he lurches into the shower, dousing himself in freezing cold water. when dealing with poison ivy, he’s usually far more careful than he was tonight, and now he’s paying the price; too desperate to look for the antitoxin, he has to take matters into his own hands—literally.
dick grits his teeth as he wraps his fingers around his shaft, hissing at the tenderness. relief floods his taut muscles, but he can’t help but think how much better your tight cunt would feel around him right now. the image of you bent over makes his hand pump faster as he pictures your pretty ass bouncing off his thighs, and he swears he can hear the way you’d moan at his intrusions. god, he wishes he could see your pretty pussy gripping him right now.
his knuckles are white as he strokes himself, the burning on his skin still far from subsiding despite the orgasm building in his lower belly. shit, just a little more. he groans at the thought of using the crook of his elbow to pull you flush against him by your neck, keeping you in a headlock as he fucks into you, just so he can hear you whine. fuck, there it is.
he presses his burning forehead against the tiles as his abdomen spasms, ropes of hot cum spurting out onto the wall as he swears loudly. cold water trickles down dick’s stomach as he pants, his heartbeat thrumming in his ears. he realises the ache that had subsided just a moment ago is slowly building again. puzzled, he glances down, and his eyes widen at the sight of his cock, still rock-hard and twitching in the cool bathroom air. what kind of fucking plant was that?
he didn’t want to worry you with this—after all, he was sure his home remedy would work—but he realises he has no choice as he feels his skin growing feverish again, and he can only hope you’ll understand. he groggily shuts off the water and makes his way back into his room, collapsing onto his bed as he takes his phone from the nightstand. he manages to send you a single line—need you now, come see me—before he drops his phone in the sheets, his hand finding his aching cock once more. it’s going to be a long night.

The Brave and the Bold #13 (2008)
I adore just how casually Bruce thwarts assassination attempts in his civilian persona it’s beautiful.
With that being said…
Danny has been running from the GIW in Gotham for a week now but after a few days there’s been a pattern. Every time he gets surrounded by GIW goons, out of absolutely nowhere appears the bumbling billionaire philanthropist that gets in the way just enough for him to escape. It took a few run ins with the man but now Danny isn’t quite so sure these appearances in front of the GIW are unintentional.

I haven’t stopped thinking about Dick Grayson being the type to say “let me distract you” and craving readers attention. I’m begging for a fic 🙏
Ohooo yes! Coming right up ;)
Dick knows he can’t be talking when he tries to complain about you working all day, typing fast with a crease in your brow as you shoo him away. He’s always out on patrol! He can’t cut you short because he misses the way you clench around him when he’s fucking you. But he will!
“Baby come onnnn. I haven’t felt you in forever! Just let me taste you.” He’s pouting, on his knees infront of you. You shoot him a quick “not now” and his hands are tugging at his hair with a groan.
“Let me distract you. Just for today.”
His distraction worked perfectly and he’s happy to say that your cheek is pressed onto the glass slide door of the shower, the steam making it hard for you to even breathe as he’s fucking the thoughts out of your head, reaching over to touch you, as if his cock isn’t already too much for you at the moment.
“Isn’t this nice?” He pants. “Haven’t you missed my cock? I’ve missed you.” He’s being such a dick about it. No pun intended. The tip of his cock hitting that spot inside of you that drives you nuts and your legs are buckling under you, but his assault doesn’t stop and he’s lifting you up and pressing your back against the wall.
“Please be- fuck! Careful. Don’t want you to slip.” Your moans are punctuated by every snap of his hips that connect straight to your ass. A perfect distraction.

While investing a case, Bruce goes on an undercover mission as a carnival worker at a small town carnival because he suspects other workers there are related to a larger crime ring.
After the Daily Planet is bought out by lex Luther , Clark decides to quit and has to move back home to Smallville. While he's happy to see his family and childhood friends again he also feels like he's changed and isn't as fulfilled by the simple life anymore. On top of this it becomes much harder to keep being superman. Smallville doesn't have corrupt officials or alien invasions they need help with, rendering him useless . He doesn't even feel useful on the farm and can't find a job he enjoys to make some money of his own and leave the house.
As a way to get his mind off things and cheer himself up he starts visiting the local fair. While there, he is instantly drawn to a handsome carnival worker who definitely doesn't belong in a small town like this.

Decided to make a short thing for my Demon and Wraith au.
So, Danny and Damian decide to leave their little club out for the wider sea of the dance world and totally not because of that extremely close call where both Talia and Bruce almost found out their identities.
They just finally decided it was time to go on... tour, basically!
Danny calls up Vlad and asks him if he can fund them for their trip around the country. Which, they have money but not enough to do what they want.
What does Vlad do?
He gives them said money, and then declares himself their sponsor. Which, yea, Danny didn't ask for, but that's actually pretty nice.
Vladco has a lot of weight it can throw around, and being sponsored by it's head personally gives them even more weight.
Plus, people might think twice about giving them a lawsuit (If that would ever happen) and if do, they have an army of pretty good lawyers.
Anywho.
Danny is obviously going to be their main DJ, Damian knows how, but Danny's just better at it really. Though there is a feature where it can play by itself when they're both dancing, and Damian has taken it upon himself to be the 'bodyguard' because he's better at fighting.

Should I Write More Stone City
yknow, the story with Danny and MK as friends who are both from different dimensions and both accidentally ended up in the DC Universe. They both meet each other accidentally but they get on like a house fire, and the Gotham populace should be afraid.
yeah, that one. It’s called Stone City and I only really wrote a random one shot for it that involved Danny and MK pranking Red Robin with MK’s staff and then immediately running from Batman.
also figuring out duo names under the cut:
Not ship names, duo names. The best of friends:
StoneGhost
SunDial (cause of stars, and the sun, and stone dials to tell time)
“I technically died once club TM” (you can make this a group name. Do the car salesmen meme; you can slap a bunch of batkids in this bad boy)
SoulStaff (Or StarStaff)
StoneCrown?
StoneSoul
I know MK usually has noodle based names but it’s so hard to put that with Danny stuff. All I can think of is NoodleGhost and that’s just so silly and I feel like it might be a duo name already for MK and some other LMK character.
SoupSpectre
their colors remind me of a pumpkin. Even though people usually pair Mk with yellow instead of orange. But I don’t feel like using yellow or this will look like my Danny and Duke duo name post.
WAIT I HAVE THE BEST IDEA
AstralProjection (I don’t even know how to color code this one. It’s just perfect dude.)

(Do not look at the background it was rushed. Other than that, enjoy the quick drawing of Stephanie and Cass) If Cass’s outfit looks odd it’s because its not a cannon suit. In this au she modeled it after Macaque. (I wanted an excuse to give her a red cape) Thinking of calling this au MonkeyBat (I know im bad at naming things) unsure tho
Also, here’s the link to the LMK specific headcannons. Enjoy:
·   Cass is 17 when she first went back to the dimension she was born in
·   At this point I wanna say we’re close to the end of season 2 of Lmk so she’s started her training with Macaque
·   She learns the basics first- how to summon her staff, shadow travel and she’s working on making shadow clones
·   When Batman finds her, it doesn’t take long to tell she has powers, so he assumes she’s a meta
·   Cass likes to go back and forth between dimensions
·   She disappears randomly to go back home before showing back up at the manor for random periods of time
·   No one knows where she goes off to. Trackers don’t work (she always finds them) and not even Batman or Superman can find her
·   When asked where she was she either shrugs or says home she will not elaborate
·   At first the family was suspicious but as time went on and it became clear she wasn’t doing anything malicious they kinda dropped it and it became usual
·   Tim is still trying to figure out where she goes
·   Bruce is too but not like Tim is
·   At first, she didn’t care to much for her birth dimension and that doesn’t really change much except for the batfam
·   She came back because she likes the family. She likes helping them out at night and hanging out with them
·   She still refuses to let Bruce adopt her though and tells him he’s like an uncle to her.
·   She drops hints that she has a family and but never drops names or locations
·   At first the family think she might be talking about Lady Shiva and David Cain, but it doesn’t take long for it to become clear they aren’t who she’s talking about
·   The search continues
·   The batfam know that Cass can shadow travel, inhuman strength, her durability and that she has a strange shadow staff (that seems to come out of nowhere) but that’s about as much as they know on her powers
·    It takes about 2 years for the batfamily to figure out she’s technically from this dimension but it’s not her “home” dimension
·   She doesn’t tell them because she sees no harm in keeping it to herself. Besides it’s kinda funny watching them try to figure it out. She also wants to see how long these “world’s best” detectives take to figure it out. It’s not like she’s not dropping subtle hints.
·   Stephanie is the first to find out about everything. Duke is second.
·   They’re both smug about it once the entire family knows.
·   They are also the first two that Cass brought home to meet everyone
·   Before everyone else knows, Steph and Duke like messing with the rest of the family by making their own hints/references to Cass’s family
·   It frustrates the others more than ever
·   The three are having a great time
·   As she gets more of her powers, she doesn’t really use them while around the batfam
·   She just doesn’t see much reason to. She does however use them to fuck with some of the rouges if she’s on her own
·   No one believes them when they say she turned into a slightly demonic shadow being
·   Well no one but Tim
·   Tim will figure her secrets out. Cass finds it entertaining.
·   Cass and Duke get along great.
·   Dukes just glad there’s someone else with powers around
·   The first time Constantine met her, he showed up, looked at her, turned around, and noped right out of there. He doesn’t explain anything and refuses to be near Cass unless he has to
·   Cass finds it hilarious and will sometimes sneak up and scare the man
·   When confronted or asked if she knows why Constantine acts like that around her, she just shrugs.
·   It’s not her fault he’s scared of the sheer demonic presence she give off
·   With the exception of Constantine, she does try to avoid the league and other magic users. To many people who could possible out her by her presence alone and she enjoys being a mystery

Idea for Therebefore // Hereafter
Bc I used hunger games as the title my mind has decided to use the series as a way for Jason and Bruce to communicate
When Jason is first getting used to being Robin, Bruce finds out he loves books. When Jason gets hurt on patrol, Bruce reads him a book from a chair next to the medbay bed.
Then one day Bruce notes Jason is reading in the medbay a new book.
“Do you want me to read it for you?”
“You wouldn’t like this one,” Jason says, not looking up from the words. Bruce smiles at that. It means more than just Jason being engrossed in the story, but that he trusts Bruce enough to put his whole mind into the pages without worry.
“Why do you think I wouldn’t like it?” He inquires with a raised eyebrow. He’s read Jason romance novels, spy thrillers, coming of age, and others he can’t quite place on the genre spectrum. Jason has a wide range of taste for stories and it’s opened Bruce’s mind up to more than his rigorous straight and narrow thoughts.
“There’s needless killing,” Jason states, looking up at Bruce with his own eyebrow raised as a challenge.
Bruce hums at that and sits down in the chair anyway, holding out his hand. Jason’s lips purse but he hands over the book.
“I was barely starting chapter three, so I don’t mind if you start over,” Jason says, is demeanor showing casual but Bruce hears the excitement in his tone. Jason mentioned once that Bruce does the different character voices beautifully to Alfred, the two not knowing Bruce was around the corner.
Bruce clears his throat, “Part One, The Tributes,” he begins.
It’s almost three years after the warehouse when Bruce is at Jason’s bed side again, book in hand, that Jason hears the soothing baritone of his dad reading. He had collapsed at the manor a few hours after being there.
“—orities in District 13 were against my coming back. They viewed it as a costly and pointless venture, given that—”
“Bruce?” It still hurt to speak, but he needs to know…know if this isn’t home anymore.
“Yes Jaylad?” And Jason could feel tears welling at that alone.
“Want. Stay,” He begins, but stops when the chair next to his bed creeks.
“Okay,” Bruce says, “we’ll inform Phant-”
“But,” his hands are trembling, which Bruce noticed he guesses, seeing as his dad holds them in his big warm hands. Jason closes his eyes. He can’t handle seeing the disappointment, the hate that is sure to be in his father’s eyes the moment he confesses.
“I…” He stutters, if he doesn’t say anything, he could have the comfort of home, at least for a little bit. But, but maybe if he voices it now, Bruce won’t hate him as much as he would for hiding it.
“Killed. I killed. Many,” Jason confesses, but only starts sobbing when his dad’s arms wrap around him, holding him to his chest again, “sorry. So. Sorry,” he pleads, it hurts. Hurts more than pleads for his life he’s yelled for the past two years, but he has to try.
He doesn’t know how long Bruce has been rocking him as he sobbed, but it’s long enough that the sun is setting and his tears are dry.
“To hate the boy from District 1, who also appears vulnerable in death, seems inadequate. It’s the Capital I hate, for doing this to all of us,” Bruce quotes, “Rue’s death has forced me to confront my own fury against the cruelty, the injustice they inflict upon us.”
Jason stills. He remembers the part in the book. The part Bruce stumbled on when first reading. Katniss’s first kill. He remembers sitting there, cast on his foot, a challenging look at Bruce.
She had no other choice, Bruce had said, she’s not the one that turned herself into a killer, can’t hate someone for something they have no control over, to simple survive.
Jason relaxes in his dad’s arms, and for the first time in years, cries in relief.
