(This ask took me forever because my phone was being a bum, then I lost said ask so whoever this was from, thank you, and heres what you asked for)

They would obviously go insane, being kidnapped by some low-life thug in Gotham and held against their will for millions of dollars, but in your eyes, you thought you weren't even worth a penny. You didn't even fight back; no way your shit-faced family would come running to save you. At least Bruce was on the way to save Jason from dying, but there was no way he would do the same for you. You saw the look in his eyes when you attended galas; it wasn't out of love, it was out of shame, pure shame. So you sat there in the cold, dark, and wet room, seeing rats chew on electric cables; even if it shocked them, they'd keep on chewing, keep on finding something to eat, even if there was pain or it would kill them in the long run. What had you thought of yourself so much, proving yourself to people who would never see you as their equal? You were allowed one call, and only one. Your kidnappers thought you would call your dear old dad, but no, you called your mom. You were begging and crying, using "mommy"���you hadn't used that word since you were 13—but right now, you wanted your mom more than anything. Fuck Batman and his stupid kids; you wanted your momma.

She took the message to Bruce; she was going through all four stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, and depression, but acceptance wasn't one of them. She wouldn't accept the fact that you might be dead; she wouldn't accept the fact that she'd never find you; she wouldn't accept it at all, and she tore them a new one, cursing each and every family member out while Alfred held her back, making sure she didn't do anything rash, which she would, and the Batfam felt absolutely trembled. Go searching for you? Half of Gotham would have burned down if it wasn't for Tim and Babs talking the rest of them out of it, but let's be honest, those computer twins were up for nights searching security cameras for you. Bruce was the craziest out of all of them; it was like losing Jason again, except it was his own flesh and blood, and when he heard that you called your mom for help—not him—he lost it. She didn't even have enough money for the ransom; she couldn't pay it off, but you called her instead of your billionaire father, who was BATMAN! For Christ's sake, did you really not trust him? Did you really think you weren't worth the trouble? Did you think he didn't love you?

He was going crazy in his study just at the thought that Dick, Jason, and Cass were going full rage mode. They'd been beating thugs into unconsciousness; some of their faces were unrecognizable if they didn't have an ID on them. Damian was very confused; he didn't know what to feel. At first, he acted aloof. Why did they want you of all people? You were useless, a disgrace to the Wayne family name, weak and replaceable, and when he shared those feelings with Alfred, the old butler who always seemed to understand him, walked away without a single word. It just didn't make sense to him. Why did the old man care, and why did everyone care now, and why did he care? This wasn't like him. Not at all.

Steph felt like she failed as a sister, as a hero. How could anyone hurt you? You're so sweet, so silly, so kind, yet she did the same. She was no better than the thugs. Duke was completely out of it. You'd catch him muttering to himself, going on all-night patrols, hitting the streets, finding all the info he could, and coming back to your big brother when he finally found you half alive, your locs matted and fizzy. Your glasses were broken, and dirt caked your brown skin. You pushed away from them the second they tried to touch you. You screamed for your mom, crying for her like a baby. Still, she finally showed up, pushing the brick of a man that is Bruce Wayne out of the way, grabbing you like you were a baby that was first put into her arms the second she gave birth to you. The Batfam was heartbroken, especially Bruce. He had made his suit less scary for the last child who cried when they saw him, but even when he took off his cowl and got closer, you still cried and pulled away from him, afraid he might attack you. But he wouldn’t—you’re his baby, after all.

I got a bee in my bonnet and spent last night crunching these numbers to confirm a long-held suspicion of mine, and now I'm going to do something with them even if it's only interesting to me. So.

I went through and tallied up all of the fics AO3 currently (as of 3/27/24) has under the tags "Trans Tim Drake," "Nonbinary Tim Drake," "Genderfluid Tim Drake" and "Genderqueer Tim Drake," since I figured that cast a wide enough net without committing myself to reading every fic vaguely tagged Trans Character to figure out which character they were talking about.

I then did the same for Dick, Jason, Damian and Bruce and, after comparing those numbers against each other and against the total number of fics each character has under their general tag, followed up with Duke, Babs, Cass, Steph and Kate, and then Kon, Cassie, and Bart for good measure.

The results confirm the suspicions I was going into check and are really interesting, to me at least:

Despite having far fewer stories overall than Jason, Bruce or Dick, Tim has by far the most stories tagging him under the trans umbrella (653 out of 58,395) and is the only member of the Bats for whom at least one full percent of his stories fall under that category (1.12% to be exact.) He actually has more total trans stories than Jason and Damian combined (308 out of 71,120 and 255 out of 42,607, equaling 0.43% and 0.59%, respectively) and outstretches the 2nd place ranker, Dick, by over a hundred (who clocks in at 438 out of 79,057 -- 0.55%). Bruce amusingly has by far the most stories overall (90,305) but the fewest trans stories (185) for the lowest percentage among the boys (0.2%).

The only one who comes anywhere close to matching Tim percentage-wise is Bart, who has far fewer stories to his name but a ratio of 62 out of 5,717 for 1.08%. I was thinking maybe Young Justice might have a higher percentage than the Bats due to their strong queer fandom but that only really proved true for Bart, with both Cassie and Kon coming in at only 0.2% and 0.28% trans umbrella percentage respectively (actual count 6 out of 2,874 and 39 out of 13,746).

Cassie's numbers correspond with the fact that women just, do not get a lot of these stories, at all, even compared to the general lack of attention they're paid by fanfiction spheres in general. Steph and Kate both clocked in at falling 0.17% under the trans umbrella (29 out of 16,638 for Steph, 5 out of 2,897 for Kate); Cass got 0.13% (21 out of 15,769) and Babs only 0.07%, the lowest percentage out of anyone I calculated for (11 out of 15,785). Duke's showing was a respectable 0.55% (34 out of 6,166) which puts him about even with the rest of the boys.

All of which I just went through to confirm a gut instinct I've had for a while: even in light of the noticeable trend in fandom towards increased visibility for trans and other queer-gendered people over the last decade and a half or so, it's a notable Thing for the DC comics fandom to explore with Tim Drake in specific.

And that doesn't even take into account things like the over 200 "Tim Drake is Catlad | Stray" fics, which almost always have some element of queered gender or at least femme'd sexuality to them, far outstripping any of the other Robin boys' spins in that AU (those counts stand at, respectively: Damian - 11, Dick - 33, Jason - 79, Tim - 242). Or the 11 fics logged under the "Tim Drake is Batgirl" tag, a category that doesn't even exist for any of the other male Robins.

(What makes that last one extra hilarious to me that most people don't know one canonical version of Tim has been a member of the Batgirls.) Part of me wants to use that parenthetic detail as a segway to ramble about the various canon snippets I think probably contributed to this, from Tim being presented as "the pretty one" who most often gets the "looks like his mother" comments to the fact that he is the only male Robin who's ever cross-dressed for an undercover mission and even though it only happened once the Internet will never forget Caroline Hill.

But this post is long enough as it is and I don't really have a point beyond I think this is interesting and cool so I'm going to leave off here for now and put my numbers under a cut so people have the raw data to look at if they'd like to.

TL;DR - Based on the numbers, the internet believes Tim Drake is more likely to be trans than any other member of the Bat-family or Young Justice, and I think that has interesting implications about his character and fandom. It's neat.

Hi,

Can you rec books where one of the leads is a servant or similar to it? Not slaves though

I recently read Any Duchess Will Do and wanted to see if there are other books lile it.

Thanks!

I gotcha! And definitely, there are more—Tessa Dare has another one called The Governess Game, which I didn't particularly care for, but lots of people like it. I feel like "governess" is a little different from the standard "servant" role, though (valet, maid, footman, etc). Servants are employees too, obviously, but some roles are more "upstairs" employees (governesses, music teachers, secretaries), versus what I think we often conventionally consider the serving roles.

His Valet by S.M. LaViolette is has a hero whose valet is actually, unbeknownst to him, not a man (she uses she/her pronouns and was assigned female at birth, most readers including me interpret her as nonbinary). This is a GREAT servant romance, because Jo's servitude is both a friction in her relationship with the hero, and something that REALLY gets her going. She loves to serve him... in every way. This is stupid hot but also stupid emotional, with an incredible grovel.

The Postilion by S.M. LaViolette. Another "disguise" romance, this time with a heroine disguised as a postilion (fancy horse boy) working for a kind doctor who recently unexpectedly inherited a title. It's LaViolette, so always be ready for a traumarama backstory, but this one has a somewhat softer hero than her typical standard.

Selina by S.M. LaViolette has an upper-class heroine take a job as a housekeeper (while keeping her identity as a lord's daughter secret) while trying to FIND HERSELF~ as a person. Then she finds out that the angry, reclusive lord of the manor is actually that way because he relatively recently lost his vision in an accident, and romance ensues.

Joss and The Countess by S.M. LaViolette. In this one, the hero is the servant—the widowed heroine's footman/bodyguard while she trolls the city for a proper lover since her (horrid) husband is dead. Of course, Joss is probably a better fit for that job, too. Another favorite of mine, but beware, it can be pretty dark.

Delicious by Sherry Thomas. In this one, the heroine is a cook, and when her boss (and former lover) dies, his .... estranged brother, I think, inherits. Little did she know, the man inheriting is the same man she had this incredible single night with years ago....

The Counterfeit Scoundrel by Lorraine Heath has the hero eyeing up his new maid/housekeeper... except she's actually secretly a private detective hired by a man whose wife the hero is ALLEGEDLY sleeping with.

To Beguile a Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt. The heroine goes to become the scarred, reclusive hero's maid/housekeeper. However, she's also fleeing her horrible lover—taking their two children with her.

Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt. Bridget is spying on Valentine on the low, but she's also legitimately his housekeeper, and quite good at it.

hello my darlings!! Here is a little bio and info about this extra fun trash bag child of mine:

Name: Seamus MacGowan

Birthday: September 24th, 1997.

Parents: Eoin MacGowan, and Sandra MacGowan

Siblings: Open older female

Likes: worn in shoes, live music, autumn upstate with the changing trees, writing lyrics on the back of napkins just to remember, playing guitar in an empty soundcheck, finishing a new script for no one but themself, parties with interesting stories and names he will never remember.

Dislikes: being sent scripts just for the money, board room meetings to discuss the future of the past, reflecting on past lovers, licorice, boatrides.

Born to an incredibly rich scottish family who dealt in antiques and art mostly, think christie's, but even older. Because of this, different parts of his extended family have run the business in different countries and so on and so forth.

When they were 14, the family decided that his parents should be promoted to run the New York Office. He has been living there ever since.

He has been interested in the arts and music since they were little,. They were always going to the movies and different concerts as a way to actually experience life in the now rather than the family business of the past. This is always their yin and yang, the nostalgia for history and the present creativity.

Decided that rather than go into the family business like so many other cousins and sibling, they were going to pursue creativity. They became an actor, and a good one at that. After all, what is cuter than a kid with an accent.

It was easy to break in as a child actor in new york, finding a place in period pieces and dramas easily. But this was still not enough. He needed more as he got older. When he was finally of age, he began releasing music as passion projects.

They were on top of the game for years, always searching for the next thing to take on before the call of his families business was there to fall back on if they ever stopped moving.

But then, of course, they fell in love. It was a secret to everyone, a well kept secret between busy lives in new york. And then they moved to Italy together, quietly, like that was a normal thing to just up and do. But they were in love.

A year goes by and now they are back in New York with no explanation, and no attachments. It's now six months later and their creativity is taking hold again as they start to look for more projects to fill the void of what no one knows about.
