I literally never planned to do anything more with my one shot of Wes being a Wayne Enterprises intern but the thought of Tim Drake and Wes Weston being friends (if not boyfriends) scratches my brain so perfectly like they could really be out here being stalker buddies 💙
Like,,
Tim, looking at a surveillance pic of a masked villain who robbed WE: (trying to be unsuspicious) the Bats really need to figure out who this new villain is and take him down >:(
Wes, who saw the villain's civilian persona for 0.5 seconds while on a Batbucks run: oh yeah I know him his name is Darry and he likes mocha fraps with a chocolate wall but also his card declined so that was sad :/ wonder he's robbing Wayne Enterprises
Tim, under his breath: I love you and I'll always make sure you get home safely after your shift
Wes: what?
Tim: I said that as my intern I need you to get me a Death Wish coffee
Wes Weston is used to billionaires having sketchy finances. An offshore account here, and offshore account there-- A second home in a tax haven. He's never seen books like Wayne Enterprise's before.
"What even is BASE jumping? Why do they have a whole Applied Sciences department with only one guy working in it?"
Wesley Weston had questions for Bruce Wayne. Questions he would get answered, if the billionaire was ever actually in his office. This was why he found himself rumbling up to the Wayne's well manicured, monoculture lawn in an only slightly questionable Uber.
"Wes Weston, IRS," he whispers, practicing under his breath before knocking on the door. "Wes Weston. IRS," he says more confidently, fumbling to get his badge out of his pocket. The door swung open, and he jumped. Goddamn rich people with their motion detecting doorbells.
"Dick Grayson, Blüdhaven P.D."

Wes Weston stood back from his cork board as rain pelted his hotel room window.
Bernard: So hear me out, but…*proceeds to talk about his theories while citing his sources.*
Wes, literally vibrating in his spot as he death-clutches one of Bernard’s Polaroid photos that he handed him: Oh…oh nooooo
{ - Later - }
Danny, abruptly being woken up by the intensity of Wes’ staring: …Will you ever realize how creepy it is to stare at someone until they wake up? It’s like you want to bring me completely to the dead side.
Wes, currently straddling Danny as he stares down at him: So I was hanging out with Bernard a while ago…
Danny, raising an eyebrow: Oookay? That’s Tim’s friend, right? The one he has a crush on?
Wes, nodding: Yep. A fellow ginger and conspiracy theorist.
Danny: Ah, so Tim does have a type, ginger and crazy.
Wes: I’m putting a pin in that for later because that’s not the point right now, but he also has a thing for black hair, blue eyed superheroes. I was hanging out with Bernard and…
Danny: Wait what-
Wes, leaning forward slightly: He told me his theories, with evidence and cited sources. Every single one of them. I listened to them all. They’re amazing even if some of them aren’t correct.
Danny, being hit with the realization: Oh boy.
Wes: I want that man carnally. *Lifting up a thick folder.* And I have several reasons why we should seduce him into our polycule, I’m sure once I tell Tim he’ll be on board since he has a crush on the man, and I’m sure you’ll love him too but it’s okay if you don’t.
Danny, running a hand through his hair: Okay. One, remind me to never let you go to one of those conspiracy theorists meeting ever, two, I’d like to hang out with Bernard before we make any official decision, and three….go finish your board so we can talk with Tim.
Wes practically tossing himself off the bed.
{ - Later/Extra - }
Danny: So…what exactly did you mean by Tim also having a thing for ‘black hair, blue eyed superheroes’?
Wes, sighing, and throwing a newspaper with Superboy on the front at Danny’s face.
i know this isnt news at all but for this ides of march i think we should just take a moment to appreciate the beauty of jughead riverdale not only being put in a homoerotic rivalry storyline where the rivals actor went on his dnd instagram account to tell 19 people on live unprompted that he was genuinely playing it as a gay story but also this rival character was a thinly veiled parody of a world famous author ras had previously worked with (adapting his famous book as a musical) acting like a parody of said authors most famous character playing out a parody of a book one of that authors classmates wrote about their weird ass college time and then two seasons later ras used his musical adaptation of this guys book as the seasonal musical episode. and also the ides of march was a significant plot point in the homoerotic rivalry for like no reason.
Tim, 17, is at the tail end of junior year at Gotham Academy. During gym he typically ducks into the toilet stalls or showers to change. He’s a vigilante and he can’t exactly explain his bruises/cuts/scars without causing concern, thus he just avoids anyone finding out at all. Unbeknownst to him, one of his classmates was in the same situation.
Wesley Weston was always late to the class after PE, he was always the last out of the locker room. He always showered after class and was very meticulous about putting away and taking out his uniform. He’d even refold his gym clothes a few times and comb his hair until nothing was out of place. Some thought he had OCD, others thought he was vain, and others still thought he was fruitlessly trying to be accepted; Wes was a known loner. There was plenty of speculation when the gossip mill was slow but in reality, Wes always stalled so he could change as quickly as humanly possible, but only after the room was empty.
By pure chance Tim forgets to switch out his gym shoes for his uniform shoes after PE one day and when he gets back to the locker room, it’s locked. Makes sense, the coaches always lock the locker rooms when there isn’t a class using them. Not having time to track down the coach and not wanting to be late to class, Tim picks the lock and out of habit, slips in quietly. He rounds the corner and sees Wes changing. More than that, he sees that Wes is covered in scars and scrapes. And in plain view is the still raw and distinctive injury Damian gave a mysterious, non-bat/bird affiliated vigilante recently.
That is how Tim accidentally discovers that Wesley Weston is Spyris. Spyris who appears and disappears without rhyme nor reason, who sometimes will hunt down Batman’s rogues and who sometimes will walk right past them. No one knows what Spyris does or why, just that he’s there and he’s competent enough to evade the batclan for the several months they’ve known about him.
Maybe he notices then or maybe Tim confronts him about it later but in any case, Wes automatically threatens to out him as Red Robin if he says anything and Tim is shook. When did Wes find out, how long has he known, how did he figure it out. Was anyone else compromised? And what did Wes want? What was Spyris’ goal?
Overall I want Valerie, Sam, Tucker, Danny, and Wes to be vigilantes in Gotham for whatever reason (ghost stuff?) working as a unit, but Spyris is the only one the bats/birds are aware of.
Tim and Wes passive aggressively stalk each other back and forth.
The celebrity twin filter that goes around? Or is it the look-a-like?
Danny gets one of the Wayne kids
One of the Wayne kids gets Phantom
Let the chaos begin.
Wes is part of a conspiracy group online. This group posts their findings, and since they're known as a conspiracy group, the people don't take it seriously. The people who know them personally, call them out.
Nothing really happens until Twitter takes over.
I guess why Danny wouldn’t get his ghost side is because the program already recognizes that Danny is Phantom.
Could you imagine giving Wes a middle name? Like idk Wiley or something. The important thing is it starts with the letter W so that his initials are W.W.W. and he's tech savvy in the present.
All of this is specifically so that Wes can tell someone one day "my initials are literally the world wide web, shut your fucking mouth" when they try to question his internet researching skills/overall ability to competently use a computer.
a week of Rhett Life and there will be a visitor coming to stay at his place soon to help him with his ranch and he setting up some plants and cleaning his bubush before the visitor come. He also make some money by doing yard sale cause he want to buy some stuff for the visitor rooms.
Might you consider doing a followup poll for the Austen silver foxes, like Mr. Weston 2020? There are definitely a bunch of older but attractive Austen guys who I'd love to see battle it out!
I hope so! I did discuss putting in a few of the Dads with my sister when I was doing the original pairings but had to cut them to try and balance the knock-out - but giving them their own mini-tournament once this one is over is something I'd love to do!
okay, so, I've collected a bunch of DP fandom stuff that I remember off the top of my head, specifically in chronological order & colour coded here in this post (fics/comics, tumblr posts, important imo) for no reason other than I saw a post asking for Phandom history & it triggered my biggest, most long-running hyperfixation & now I'm curious if anyone else remembers stuff.
this link is going to be the permanent version I will be updating, but I'm posting what I currently have (gonna go through my old laptop later for more) just to let people know. you can also find the link on my blog, but only on desktop. It isn't colour coded there, sorry.
please share more if you got anything else cuz I'm 100% sure I'm missing a lot of stuff & am too interested now. the biggest reason a lot of stuff isn't here is that I simply can't find it. second biggest reason is i forgor. things not included here aren't "unimportant," this is just the first stuff that comes to mind.
putting it under a cut 'cause it got kinda long

Imagine just peeking into a room and seeing Claude and Sebastian dancing — one is completely blindfolded and talking for two (Sebastian) and the other is completely silent and letting the other lead (Claude), because Ciel had ordered Sebastian not to see Claude again, and Claude had been ordered to not talk to/ignore Sebastian the next time he saw him.
@ kind people who put things in my inbox: if I didn't answer your message, I probably did see it and either didn't know what to say or am in the process of answering it OR am waiting for the right time to answer it! Like, I think someone asked me for more headcanons regarding this AU over a month ago and I haven't answered because I don't really have more headcanons right now. But maybe I will someday! I very much appreciate when people want to know my opinion about things, so if you're waiting on something, please don't mistake my silence for anger, and ask away! 😊
