Duke: What do you guys do when you're stressed? Cass: Try and calm myself down! Jason: Sleep. Tim: Get myself into even more stress, so that the first reason for my stress gets cancelled out. Damian: I don't.

[thegothichaunting]

Batman, deeply sighing : Last night I realised I'm old...

Superman: What happened?

Batman: I fell in the alley and, instead of laughing, Damian came quickly to see if I was okay...

Superman, covering his mouth with the hand : Oh no...

[thegothichaunting]

Batman: You need to let me implant a tracker in you

Tim Drake, Robin: Only if you let me implant one in you

When Jason says "mom," he means Alfred. When Tim says "mom," he means Dick. When Dick says "mom," he means Clark. Damian almost never says "mom" because he would be referring to Talia, and he dislikes her too much to call her anything softer than "Mother." They all occasionally say "mom" to refer to Bruce. When Bruce says "mom," it's because he's having a nightmare.

Au where Bruce and dick are more like partners than hero and sidekick. They form the justice league with the full intent of robin having a seat at the table. No one else realizes this. Cue everyone showing up to the meeting only to be met with the sight of robin sitting next to Batman at the table except he’s too short so he has to have a booster seat

I feel like it would be more fun if he’s sitting on his knees in the chair, elbows digging into the table, chin held in his hands as he watches everyone file in.

“Why is there a baby here?” Green Lantern asks.

“I’m not a baby!” Robin huffs, affronted. “I’m nine!”

“He’s nine,” Batman repeats, tone perfectly serious. “And I mentioned to each of you upon our first meeting that he was my partner. Why would he not be here?”

“…Because he’s a kid?” Flash asks.

“Irrelevant,” Batman says, waving him off. “He’s been doing this for almost two years now. More you than, Flash. More than most of you, actually. So he’s actually your superior.”

Robin is grinning, a smug look on his face as he wiggles in his seat and puffs out his chest.

“Plus, I’m almost ten.”

“He’s almost ten,” Batman agrees.

“Oh, because that really makes it better,” Green Lantern mumbles, plopping in his seat.

I want a fic where none of the JL believes that the batkids aren’t Batman’s biological children. There’s no way they can all be as creepy and broody and serious as him without being his offspring. It’s not possible.

And a select few being super adamant about it is how Batman finds out his kids are actually, in fact, his biological kids.

This leads to a full on, all out fight on the Watchtower. Every single batkid is shouting, arguing, yelling, screaming at Batman. Because it’s not true. It can’t be true. How the fuck did Batman not know this before the JL? Why are they finding out from a shitty presentation given by HAL JORDAN of all people?

It ends with Batman sprawled out in a chair, slumped so far down that his back is on the seat of the chair, his neck bent at a funny angle against the backrest, and he’s groaning.

“I regret being such a whore in my youth,” is all they can get out of him.

Tim, Jason, and Damian are all pretty easy to figure out how they’re his kids. He already knew about Damian of course, and Tim and Jason’s moms were both from Gotham it made sense.

It’s Dick who’s fully having a meltdown.

“WHEN DID YOU SLEEP WITH MY MOM? HOW DID YOU KNOW MY MOM? DID YOU MAKE HER CHEAT ON MY DAD? WHAT HAPPENED TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK?”

Bruce, whose head is spinning, vaguely remembers a very tipsy night he spent with a beautiful French acrobat. They’d both been 16, it was the summer. She said she was about to run away and join a different circus, she’d been perfecting her routines with the circus she was in with her parents, but they were stifling her creativity. This was her last night in Paris, and she wanted to spend it with the cute American boy who was there on vacation.

“WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MOM?”

“I bought her fancy champagne and clapped when she showed me how bendy she was,” he groans.

Dick has a visceral, disgusted reaction. He flings himself back, Jason has to hold him up so he doesn’t fall, and then he launches himself back at Bruce to damn near strangle him.

“DON’T TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!”

This is the worst day of Bruce’s life. Coincidentally, it’s the best day of Hal’s. He and Barry are eating popcorn.

Some of Tim's inner monologue in Red Robin, beccause I feel like too many people forget what hell he went through to save Bruce. When I read it, all I had in my head was “He's one mental breakdown away from going super villain, or ending it all.”

[thegothichaunting]

[thegothichaunting]

Posted Chapter Sixteen of The Gothic Haunting of Tim Drake-Wayne! Go read :)

Excerpt:

So, Phantom floated up, his form comprised of clawed hands and blurry edges, and with resolute authority in his voice, commanded, “I am High King of the Infinite Realms and the Ancient of Balance. While some of you might disagree with my decisions, they are not up for debate. This is a courtesy meeting, and nothing more. I will leave everyone with two mandates. One, you will not help, shelter, hide, or any way assist Osiris or the Ancient of Fate in their treason against the Crown. Anyone harboring knowledge of Osiris or the Ancient of Fate’s location will be subject to my wrath and judgement. Two, no one is to threaten or harm the human known as Timothy Drake-Wayne, or his family. Any being caught in violation of this order will be ended.”

With the word ended, various reactions erupted around the open-air venue.

Khan snarled in front of him, and Phantom stared him down. Maybe it was time to make a house visit. Fir, midway up the row of Kings, silently expanded it's limbs around the lesser Kings in its vicinity, protective.  

Hades staring forward, head high, announced loudly to the crowd, "As the King decrees."

Phantom felt that there was nothing else to convey to the Kings. His voice slid across the crowd, "Council meeting dismissed. I suggest you all evaluate your purpose in the coming days."

Posted Chapter Fifteen of The Gothic Haunting of Tim Drake-Wayne last week and haven't had the time to share it here.

Except:

“Fuck me,” Danny whispered suddenly and feverously, staring down at his hands, “Please, fuck me Tim.”

Tim’s eyes grew wide and slight unease radiated from him. For a moment, Danny wanted to walk the words right back into his mouth. But then, Tim met his eyes, dark with lust and need. Danny saw that Tim understood – Danny wanted reassurance that Danny was alive and Tim wanted reassurance that Danny wouldn’t leave him.  

He wanted Tim to light up his body and make them forget everything but need.  Human, lustful, carnal need, attached to a body.

Danny wanted to be here, not scattered across the tapestry of existence –

A form he held sat on the edge of Infinite Realms, loosely held together ectoplasm imbued with his powers. Was it really him? Were Danny’s forms just a manifestation of the universe, a broken human that eternity had latched onto? He could expand, become everything in a moment, detached from the world.  

“–please,” Danny begged, “Please, Tim.”

Tim reached up and held his face, rubbing his thumb across Danny’s jaw. Tim then moved his hand, clasping his hand behind Danny's neck in a stabilizing hold.

“Are you sure?” Tim voice was deadly neutral.

This is very Tim and Danny coded

I really think that Dick’s initial reaction to the weird neighbor kid who comes up to him after his little brother has been brutally murdered to tell him that he needs to go back to being Batman’s sidekick is just

Do Dick and Tim eventually become good friends/brothers? Yes.

Did Dick still initially think this weirdo middle schooler was totally loony toons for thinking he’d go back to being Batman’s sidekick after he’s been the solo hero of Blüdhaven for how long now? That Tim was completely coo-coo for coco puffs? Yes. Yes he did.

He also had a huge blowout argument with Bruce about it, because he was convinced Bruce set the whole thing up.

Then he kidnapped Tim for two weeks when he first saw him out as Robin, because no nope not happening, give me the child. You’ve lost your child privileges, Bruce. You have to earn them back.

But he definitely thought Tim was off his fuckin rocker for like a good year. Maybe a year and a half.
