#unfished wip

[caitwritesao3]

Cleaned out my docs again and found this unfished fic from sometime last year. Have fun.

There’s a lot to be said about Gotham. Most of it is more bad than good, okay well all of it is bad. Legends say it's a city built on cursed soil. A city with every kind of crazy, corrupt right down to the foundations.

Ranked number one in worst place to live. Worst place to visit. Worst weather, crime, roads, people, etc.

Gotham was a city hard to defend but defend it Gothimites did. Despite how much shit they talked about it, despite how much any of them would leave if given the chance. Gotham was a city in a strangled love hate relationship with her people. Stockholm syndrome any outsider looking in would say.

If you asked any of the people on the street they’d tell you the same thing, “If you were born here you’d understand.” The blood of Gotham ran as deep in the veins of her citizens as it did running down the streets into the drains.

There was good in Gotham, you’d have to look hard but it was there. It took Tim years to see its true nature. To see it from a different perspective.

Even though he grew up on the hill, in a large house surrounded by a gate, he still went to public school. Mingled with the trash his father would always talk shit about but scoffed at the idea of wasting money on private school. (No that came later when he learned Tim was sneaking around as a vigilante.)

What truly opened his eyes to the hidden beauty in Gotham was Jason. Jason who still lives north of the tracks, in the heart of The Narrows. A few blocks away from where he was raised in Crime Alley. Jason who from day one as Red Hood had the trust of the people often forgotten about.

Tim gently set down his overnight bag on the couch. The window to the fire escape open, the breeze blowing the curtains. Dull yellow filtered into the room as the sun began its descent over the horizon, painting the cloud filled sky in a sea of pinks. Keeping his steps light, Tim crossed the living room and leaned out the window.

Jason was sitting back to the brick wall of the building, legs outstretched the toe of his boots tapping the bars of the fire escape. A pack of cigarettes with a lighter on top were next to Jason’s thigh. One lit between his two fingers as he cradled a bottle of water.

The last few days had been hard on them all with Gotham’s rogues gallery disappearing one by one. So far Croc, Manbat, Clayface, Bane all gone without a trace. Ivy and Harley were smart and hightailed it out of town this morning.

Selina had laughed and shoved off Bruce’s attempts to get her to stay at the manor. Penguin, Two-Face and Sionis were all under surveillance with trackers.

Arkham had gone into strict lockdown to ensure Scarecrow and Joker remained under lock and key.

“Ya know, you’d think the city would be more peaceful without them.” Jason’s deep voice drawled out, smoke escaping his lips. “Instead we get… this.”

Tim swung his legs over the windowsill falling right beside Jason. Jason’s arm pulled him in, hugging him tightly, slightly chapped lips grazing Tim’s forehead. “I mean, it kind of is.” Tim replied, feeling Jason let out another long exhale.

Without the city needing to be reconstructed every other week more money was flowing through Gotham than ever before. With their ‘bosses’ gone most of the corrupt police force had either been fired or quit.

Stocks all across Wayne Tech were up more than they had been in nearly sixty years. The multiple charities beyond funded were being dispersed to help all around the city.

Jason put out his cigarette moving the ashtray over, along with the pack and lighter. His arm fell from Tim’s shoulders as he leaned forward. His fingers ran through his hair, twisting around the dark curled strands. Jason stared off into the distance, his lips pressed in a tight line.

The apartment was on the fourth floor on the corner facing the street at an angle. Below them people chatted on the stoops, children played on the sidewalks. Cars and buses came and went every few minutes.

Everyone went about their lives while blissfully ignoring the thick blanket hovering over them. When it was going to cover no one knew but the city waited with baited breath.

“Are you not scared?” Jason’s voice was brittle, the veins in his hands bulging out as he held them in tight fits.

Tim avoided Jason’s blank stare, instead he glanced down picking at the skin around the nail of his pointer finger. Dread washed over Tim as each second ticked by. He knew the answer Jason wanted but Tim couldn’t find the words to even lie to him.

“Didn’t think you of all people would be.” Tim deflected, pulling his knees to his chest.

Jason turned his body facing him, curling one leg under himself. His brows lowered as his eyes narrowed “I’m not, but I’ve also never seen Bruce this spooked. Shouldn’t that tell us something?”

“I’ve been mind controlled by Joker, put under the influence of every type of fear toxin.” Tim shrugged, still avoiding Jason’s eyes. “I’ve been beaten ten ways to Sunday by every villain A to D list. I held my dad as he took his final breath, I’ve already lost everything. What do I have to be afraid of?”

The realization that flashed across Jason’s face made Tim’s stomach sink. Kick starting his fight or flight response, every nerve firing at a hundred miles an hour. “You haven’t lost me.” There was an edge of irritation to Jason’s voice until it gave way to desperation. “I can’t lose you.”

Tim resisted the urge to chuckle but he couldn’t hold off the grin that spread on his lips. “I’m not going anywhere Jason, neither are you.” he said firmly. “This city goes down so fucking what? We go down with it, hasn’t that always been part of Bruce’s whole plan?” Jason shifted jaw ticking as he shook his head. “Besides, what are any of us gonna do about it, honestly. We’re only fucking human, Jason.” Tim continued crawling toward him.

Jason closed his eyes shakily inhaling as Tim knocked their foreheads together. “Tim…”

“We’re not super powered. Not that it fucking matters cause not even the supers can help us.” Tim whispered, nudging his nose against Jason’s cheek.

“What do you mean?” Jason put a hand to Tim’s shoulder pushing him away. Tim let his hair cover his face as he stood, his hand brushing the pack of cigs and lighter on his way to sit on the windowsill.

Tim watched the end glow red as he sucked the smoke into his lungs. Setting everything aside he let it hang from his fingers between his knees. “Nothing…” he finally answered Jason, keeping his eyes out to the city.

Jason’s footsteps shook the thin metal of the fire escape as he stepped up to Tim. His knuckles gently caressed Tim’s cheek before carding through Tim’s hair. Yanking the dark strands forcing his head back and their eyes to meet.

“What… what did you do.” Jason snarled, hunching over his breath dancing across Tim’s face.

Blinking slowly Tim lifted the cigarette to his lips again, exhaling the smoke into Jason’s face. Keeping his lips pressed Tim watched Jason’s eyes dart back and forth.

The hand in his hair tightened but Tim only closed his eyes at the feeling. “Timothy.”

“Nothing you can prove.” Tim calmly snapped back, flicking the cig away, his hand flying up to grip Jason’s wrist.

Jason stumbled back like he had been burned. Tim could see his chest rising as he struggled to breathe. He recognized the signs of a panic attack but made no move to help Jason.

Tim just crossed his ankles watching Jason lean over the railing. It took a few minutes before Jason turned back toward Tim. Making sure to keep the short distance between them.

“What’s my favorite color?”

“Seriously?” Tim rolled his eyes with a snort.

Jason bared his teeth repeating his question. “Color!”

“Orange!” Tim shouted, hopping off the windowsill. He held a hand out shouting over Jason’s next question. “I know what you’re doing so fucking stop! I’m not possessed nor I haven't been switched out by anything! I am of full sound mind and body!”

Jason frowned, his fingers twitching by his side. Tears lined his tired eyes, mouth screwed up as he held them back. Sighing, Tim wrapped his arms around Jason’s shoulders, ignoring the feeling of them going taunt.

His lips ghosting Jason’s cheek, shushing him quietly. “When’d you get so soft Hood?” Tim half teased a small smile pulling his lips.

“I-I told you. I can’t lose you Tim.” Jason croaked out his hands fisting Tim’s shirt. “Whatever you’ve done-”

Tim cooed, scraping his nails along the back of Jason’s head. “Jay, I’m not going anywhere and I meant it, okay?”

Jason trembled, his eyes cast down avoiding Tim as if he didn’t believe the words. Cursing to himself Tim rested his forehead on Jason’s shoulder. Jason’s grip tightened around Tim’s waist, pulling their bodies flush.

With a soft moan Tim nuzzled the valley of Jason’s throat. Inhaling the scent of leather that lurked under his body wash. Tim’s hand trailed up twisting into the curls at Jason’s nape. Jason’s breathing slowed causing Tim to smile to himself.

Closing his eyes Tim relished in the warmth that radiated from Jason. His fingertips tracing the seam of Jason’s tank top where it pulled tight across his back.

“Nightwing to anyone!” Dick’s shrill voice cracked through the walkie laying just a foot away from them. “I need back up n-”

“Don’t!” Tim snarled, clinging to Jason, planting his feet holding the taller man as still as he could. The bottom of his shoes slipped on the thin metal as Jason jerked.

One of Jason’s hands skated under Tim’s shirt, bunching it up from the inside. The other yanked Tim’s head back by his hair. Jason glared down at Tim, his eyes bright with a fury Tim hadn’t seen in months.

Jason kicked Tim’s leg out from under him, throwing him to the side. Tim groaned, spots dancing in his vision as his head bounced off the railing.

Shaking his head Tim sat upright watching Jason frantically yell into the walkie, only receiving broken static in return. A rumble caught Jason’s attention causing him to drop the walkie. Three carefully timed explosions went off. Fire balls lit up the sky bathing Gotham in a dark orange light.

Jason bared his teeth grabbing Tim by his throat pulling him to his feet, “What the fuck was that! What was that Tim!”

Tim smiled sweetly, licking his split lip. “What makes you think I did-” he started coughing as Jason’s grip intensified. Tim held up his phone, the screen showing a map of Gotham. Three red dots blinked over the outlines of Gotham’s main bridges.

“I just cut off access to the city.” Tim wheezed. Jason’s eyes darted back and forth counting the green dots on the screen.

Blackgate, Arkham, Wayne Tower, the manor, the Batcave, the iceberg lounge, GCPD. Each of their personal apartments and safe houses.

Ace Chemicals, the Clocktower, City Hall, the Gotham Gazette. Lastly, each of Gotham’s subway entrances.

Jason couldn’t hide the betrayal on his face.

“This city deserves better Jason.“ Tim whispered, lowering the phone. “And I’ll blow it all to hell to see that it gets that way.”

The phone beeped and two more explosions went off. Jason’s head snapped up looking over Tim’s out at the city skyline. The windows of Wayne Enterprises were blown out, the glow of fire filling the floors below. Even from as far away as they were Jason could hear the metal creak and groan. It took seconds for the building to start caving in on itself.

Sirens echoed across the city, emergency vehicles racing down the now abandoned streets.

Tim’s breath hitched feeling Jason’s pinky brush the chain that sat on his neck. Glancing down Jason pulled on the silver necklace taking it out from under Tim’s shirt.

The charm bounced off Tim’s chest as Jason hissed at it. Jason stumbled back, his face screwed up in a mix of emotions. “Jay, Jason babe, this isn’t what it seems-”

“You’re fucking joking right!” Jason shouted over Tim, his voice breaking. “The fucking court! You’re working for the court of fucking owls!”

Tim half rolled his eyes, his fingers coming up to toy with the charm. “Not exactly.” He said nonchalantly. “I-I don’t work for the court. I run it.”

A high pitched chirp caused Jason to put his back against the wall of the building. His eyes darted down to the gun that lay just inside the window.

“I won’t do that,” Tim warned, leaning against the railing. A gloved hand wrapped around the metal next to Tim, the claw like nails eerily tapping it. A body swung over the railing, crouching next to Tim’s legs like an obedient dog.

Humming Tim let his hand fall, petting the matted hair. Jason’s eyes went wide once he recognized the dull blue eyes observing him. “Dick?”

Tim smiled again letting his hand drop to the back of Dick’s neck. “First successful Talon in about forty years. Thanks to yours truly. Guess it helps his great grandfather was part of the court, so you can say it was already in his blood”

Congrats on reaching 500 followers @karineverse !! 🎉

~ Click for better quality : reblogs are greatly appreciated ~

I thought this DTIYS would be a good refresher since ive been drawing skeletons and monsters lately. It was a nice change of pace ~ ( also! I was very very veeeery heavily inspired by one of Rinotuna's artworks at the time !! Iove their works so much..)

I wanted to draw him in the style of multiple mediums- though I only settled on... 2. Namely watercolor-ish on the left, and a more digital/kinda rendering? approach on the right

v Headcanons under v

- everytime he paints, he tends to get the paint all over ( you can see it in the painting lol) and even on his face and hair, hence the stain (haha so smart ikr)

- he has a tendency to forget things and will write them down on whatever paper/fabric/you name it, just to remember

- Looooves Inktober, always completes the challenge

- listens to music whenever he draws/paints, and usually spaces out and.....does something else instead

- He has soo soooo many drafts and unfished sketches (i mean, what artist doesn't have 300+ neglected wips- totally not m—)

- He designed the top he's wearing :))

- Because paint always got on his fingernails he thought painting them black would help (they didn't, it made the paint pop out more whenever it got on it even)

- He doesn't use a palette, his hands are the palette

- He has ink swirl tattoos

Upcoming Events and Projects for 2024

I have the first draft for the fic of Hopper being Jon's dad post season 3 I mentioned in an ask not too long ago done. A second is in the works and should be up relatively soon

Like I said before, I want to complete the works I could for Stonathan/Stoncy/Jancy week I missed. I hate leaving anything I started unfished (Why I don't upload chaptered fics I haven't totally completed) But I was too busy with school to do them then.

I've been kicking around ideas for a Littlespace AU. I think Jonathan would be the cutest Little ever

I don't have any events I'm working on at the moment, but I'm on the lookout for future ones or when the ones I was in this year come back around

20 Q's for Fic Writers

Thank you @spacejammie-eimmajecaps for the tag!

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

27! But I do have a few original works that I post on a different website.

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

You can tell I mostly write one-shots haha

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Quite a few, but Deathloop and Fallout 4 are my top ones ^^

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 

The stars in your eyes - Kleiner_Ghost - Fallout 4 [Archive of Our Own]

Follow the Black and Gold Rabbit - Chapter 1 - Kleiner_Ghost - Deus Ex (Video Games) [Archive of Our Own]

December in Dunwall - Chapter 1 - Kleiner_Ghost - Prey (Video Game 2017) [Archive of Our Own] - which I haven't touched in years, and honestly needs a rewrite ^^;

Mirror, Mirror, on the Ceiling - Kleiner_Ghost - Original Work [Archive of Our Own]

Your Value to Me - Chapter 1 - Kleiner_Ghost - Fallout 4 [Archive of Our Own] - which was my main before kinktober and then Nano hit ^^

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yep, as a rule of thumb. Sometimes I don't know what to say though ^^;

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oh, oh, the working title for this one before I posted it was 'Frank Angst'!

Consistently Hangover and Automatically Assuming the Worst - Kleiner_Ghost - Deathloop (Video Game) [Archive of Our Own]

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Urgh. Happy endings are for happy people. The best I can give you in bittersweet?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Nope. But then again, I don't get much comments either because of how small my fandoms are.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yep! Recently I have been messing around with it as well, for kinktober, and now I'm a bit ashamed to look my beta in the eyes.

I will admit, I usually post my kinky smut on an alt for that excat reason. Too many people I know irl know my main AO3 handle ^^;

But yeah, I love writing smut! But sometimes I want to play around with themes or settings too, and it doesn't always belong in those stories.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Yep! My fave is this fic, which I consider to be one of my best works:

Two Pieces of Nine - Chapter 1 - Kleiner_Ghost - Deathloop (Video Game) [Archive of Our Own]

I am also working on a few side projects that are crossovers. Since they're both longfics, I'm waiting to have over half of them done before releasing them (I've learned my lesson about those XD).

One is a Bablyon 5 and Star Wars crossover, where droids invade the world of B5, and a clone battalion is sent through to stop them.

The other is about the bad batch waking up on Blackreef.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not stolen, but I have had elements of a story plagiarized. I never called the other author on it, because it was one of their first fics, and because of the fandom and tags we had in common I don't think it was malicious.

12. There was no question 12 so I'll make one up myself: How many WIPs do you have?

18, not counting all the unfished kinktober one-shots. Some of those are original stories that won't go on AO3 though.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, but I would love to!

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

How bad would it wound if i name something from a fandom I never wrote for? Winterfrost is my favourite ship. I would die for some Bucky x Loki.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

December in Dunwall - Chapter 1 - Kleiner_Ghost - Prey (Video Game 2017) [Archive of Our Own]

I just keep forgetting it exists tbh ^^; I've changed and grew a lot as a writer since I started it, and as I've said it would need a full rewrite. Maybe one day I will get to it (It is my second most popular fic as well), because the two fandoms it's from deserve that, but I have like 3 longfics to get through before that.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Characters. Funnily enough it's also one of my greatest weaknesses because if I can't write a character, I never will, but for those that I do write well, well, they're great.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Dyslexia and writing on mobile. Sometimes my autocorrect does things, and I don't notice them, and then my beta goes "???" on stuff that any 4 year old would have caught XD

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I did it once, I'll do it again! But readers did drop it after those chapters (and that fic is no longer on AO3). I think it adds a lot of realism to a scene.

On that note, one of my favourite Outer Worlds fics had Welsh text in it. The author went to great lengths to make it readable to peeps who didn't speak it, with hyperlinks and stuff. But I was reading on mobile, so it never worked for me XD I had google translate open in the background, and was missing half the dialogue, but i was sooo into it that I didn't care.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Soul Eater. But that fic will never see the light of day. I'm even more embarrassed by it than I am from showing my experimental kinky smut to my irl friends. (Yes it involved a shinigami self-insert smooching Death the Kid). I was 14...

20. Favourite fic you've written?

Tough pick. I'd say overall this one :

Two Pieces of Nine - Chapter 1 - Kleiner_Ghost - Deathloop (Video Game) [Archive of Our Own]

But I love how weird this one got (it was inspired by irl sleep deprived shenanigans) :

The orange thing in the tree - Kleiner_Ghost - Control (Video Game) [Archive of Our Own]

And this one is the one I'm most emmotionally invested in :

Your Value to Me - Chapter 1 - Kleiner_Ghost - Fallout 4 [Archive of Our Own]

Thank you once again for the ask, I'm passing the questions down the line to @rowanisawriter, @the-lastcall-main, and Rieha (whose Tmblr I can't find ^^;), oh, and anyone who wants to join ^^
