silly episode idea but hear me out
okay well the first part isn’t silly! so the episode is based around a con they are doing where a polyam triad wants to get married and have been writing to senators and stuff for years but nothing has happened. maybe there is a time element that leeway has to happen soon (not sure what that would be yet, maybe someone is sick???)
(obviously polycules aren’t only and are often more than just a closed three-person system, but I’m saying triad right now bc I feel like that would be an easier and more ‘socially acceptable’ gateway into more accepting legislation for diverse relationship dynamics)
the leverage crew, of course, can’t outright change the public perception of poly marriage, but they can use the ‘enemy’s’ tactics against them and slip stuff into legislation without people noticing like they do. it’s slimy and it’s not a permanent fix, but it’s a start, and it gives people the opportunity to see poly marriage in action and that it isn’t as terrifying or pearl-clutching-inducing as they think it would be. there’s a long way to go, but the seeds of change have been sown and they will make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible
this is one of the cases that they will monitor on the back burner over time. some cons can finish within a few hours (the bottle job), and some things they will follow over time and make adjustments when needed- amplify voices and expose corrupt politicians etc
and then it’s just after 3/4 of the way through but the con has been finished? what is going on? this is where the silliness comes in
the camera turns to the ot3 and…
hardison, pulling out three individualized rings: I know it’s not legal yet, and we have the necklaces, but I think rings would be a nice touch
eliot, pulling out an intricately carved box that also has three self-handcrafted rings: dammit hardison (with feeling and tenderness, and damp eyes)
parker, pulling out three very stolen rings from her pocket: does this mean we’re getting triple married if we all have three rings???
harry pops into the conversation (practically vibrating) excitedly just casually mentioning that he’s a notary and would be honored to marry them to each other if they wanted to
(they do)
wait, did I say silly? I meant unwaveringly tender and heartwarming

Danny is a young adult living his life and had for a short time interned at Lexcorp and had a Bad Time™ for completely normal reasons like shitty bosses, rude coworkers, paperwork delays, other interns just randomly quitting, and now they're trying to make him do their work bc it was last minute, being bitchy about showing up 2-8 minutes late for shift (to the point Danny ALMOST passive aggressively just haunted the building instead of having a stupid flat.)
So he decides to not only aggressively detail every minor-major Labor Law Violation, as well as various OSHA Office Workspace Violations, but also document the shady lab experiments in the sub-basement, dual binders with one of unethical practice evidence and the other for OSHA Violations.
Now imagine being Lois Lane at the Daily Planet office minding your business and using Clark as a spell checker like usual. And this lanky white haired, green-eyed guy materializes next to the cubicle. He's wearing a black Detective Hat, Gray Trench, and a pair of thin dark sunglasses. Under the trench coat it looks like he's wearing a heavy-duty rubber hazmat suit complete with sealed boots.
He drops four thick binders on the desk in a clear spot. "So, either you can expose all of it or, like, pick some people to share the glory, but these detail every Osha workplace and lab safety violation of Lexcorp from the last three months alone, and this one is Unethical Lab and experiment practices, and the last one here are just six months of Labor Law Violations involving the Intern program and filing offices. If anyone asks your source, just say it was an employee that wishes to remain anonymous and goes by Gray Ghost." and then is just GONE.
(Danny being kind of a fan of how okay Brucie seems after finding out what his favorite show is and that it's actually dope sound so funny to me) Danny "I don't fuck with Billionaires. They disappoint me." Fenton Phantom: Fuck the Uber rich. Brucie's cool, but on thin ice. I'd fuck with Tim Drake-Wayne tho.
Tucker: like in the bedroom sense or in, like, playing pranks?
Danny: Wouldn't you like to know, Pharaoh boy?
Sam & Tucker: Disowned.
Danny: *sipping his 20 shot expresso* I deserved that.
Anyway, that build up was leading to a Coffee shop meet cute between 21 yr old Danny and Leather Jacket and Piercings Superboy Kon-el where Danny's been awake for almost 48 hours compiling his binders and posting his 2-week notice yesterday. He's convinced the barista to give him three Heart Attacks and a Stroke in a cup, but on the way out some rando bumps him, and it drops.
Danny in the Obama meme deadpan: Thanks, Luthor.
Kon-el who caught it before it hit the ground: uh...
Danny just noticing that his cups being held out to him by the Hottest dude he's seen since moving here: Oh, oh holy shit, it lives! I could kiss you right now, thanks, man.
Danny downs half of it while Kon is still frozen in shock and confusion and maybe a second round of Gay Panic™ he hasn't dealt with since he figured out that maybe he's a little bit into how nice it is to just like be within ten feet of Tim and when they started, maybe kind of dating, but Tim is afraid of verbal commitment for understandable reasons! And Danny's like, 'my hero, I might survive today after all.' Kisses him full on the mouth and leaves like this is a normal thing that just Happens™
Danny ends up stalked by Superboy and Red Robin bc Kon suspects this guy is a clone, but why would Luthor clone Tim? And it's only MORE concerning when Tim goes, "Huh, was wondering who would try that first. My money was on Ra's but makes more sense he'd be a perfectionist and only want the real thing."
Kon: Tim, that... do you ever hear the collections of words that leave your mouth sometimes, or is it like white noise to you?
Tim: Bold of you to assume I have ever had a single thought in my life.
Kon's second theory is this is Luthor's new pet protégé, clone or not, and unfortunately for Danny he's Luthor's prime suspect for the detailed leak of very finable and/or arrestable evidence of failure to follow laws bc of the 2 week notice.
Luthor: I'm not accusing you, of course.
Danny who's so far over Rich people threatening him he has no fear: Oh man that would suck if you were bc I was under the impression that it was good manners, much like the thank you for the interview letter, to give notice of intent to move on from a position. I'm glad we had a chance to talk Mr Luthor, but if I was going to try to fuck over my employer while hiding well enough it got to a reporter before you, I wouldn't give a notice, I'd just vanish. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go wrap up my assignments to lighten the impact of leaving next week.
[Important note, at not point in the following exchange does Tim look at Kon. His focus is fully on the floor to ceiling window showing Danny in Luthor's office talking.]
Tim: If he's not my clone but evil, we convert him to our side, and you date both of us and I date both of you, and he dates both of us.
Kon: ???? O-Okay? We'll come back to this conversation. What if he's your clone?
Tim: Evil or not Evil?
Kon: Either, I know you have plans for both.
Tim: Convert to our side, obviously if evil, but either way I have a new brother, He looks like a bastard our pranks will be legendary at the manor. Plus, I think we'd do incredible case work together.
Kon: Yeah, okay, we're still circling back to that dating thing you were talking about later at home.
[At this point, Danny is pacing some while gesturing and pretending to help Luthor ferret out his Mole. Using two people who he knows very much ARE double agents working for other companies (One is a supervisor on Danny's office floor and has the WORST coffee order he's picky about and not even for dietary reasons' no it's just to be an ass)(The other one keeps stealing people's lunches out of the fridge and seems to pick food with particularly specific notes about diet restrictions of the meals. Danny thinks this fucker likes inconveniencing people who can't just shove any kind of food in their face.)]
Tim, whispering extra softly: We'll have an Autumn Wedding.
Kon who loves this feral disaster of a human: ????????????
This is a TimDanKon ship fic.

hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

I need more selkie theon (and asha. I just think that would be a vibe. fuck the greyjoy sigil being a kraken for a moment and let them be seals) content.
like the opportunity to have theon's coat taken by ned when he's made his ward is right there and it is perfect and beautiful and tragic.
and you could build on that depending on the version of the selkie myth/story you're going off of (I personally love the song of the sea version of selkies for story writing). maybe he can't talk without it, maybe he gets sick, maybe his voice has magical properties of sorts.
I have this one concept in my head that I don't have the time to write, but it goes something along the lines of theon getting sick after years away from his coat and the stark kids have to find his coat and drag his slowly dying ass to the bay of seals (cause y'know bay of seals and theon's a selkie so he'll turn into a seal... I thought it was creative).
also, in a lot of versions of selkies, when they get sick, their hair turns white, which is on brand for theon. they're also pretty, their stories are typically soaked to the bone in tragedy, they're normally held captive/tortured, amongst other things, which are also very on brand for theon.
and maybe you get some selkie to selkie telepathy of sorts, so when theon finally enter the water a seal again, asha books it to come find him, cause its been years since she's been able to feel him (I'm soft for them, I will create the most improbable and ridiculous scenario's to bring them together and for them to have soft sibling moments).
all and all, theon being a selkie is something I need more content of, please and thank you.
