I was just thinking how a Ketterdam and Gotham crossover/mashup has so many possibilities! I haven't really seen much tho so here are some thoughts.
I picture it as slightly more Gotham, set in the modern (ish) world but also having the political systems and gangs of the Barrel mixed in. The grisha would still have the categories of powers that they do in the grishaverse but less organized, basically considered a subset of meta (my head is currently full of stress so sorry for any and all lore mistakes I make!).
So there's beginning SoC Kaz with the Crows and he hears right away when there's a certain up an coming crime lord in town. Kaz wants to get his revenge on Pekka Rollins but there's the issue of his debt and how many gang leaders don't take him seriously because he's young and walks with a cane. After gathering more info and concocting some convoluted plan that has 43 steps and 15 backups he meets with the Red Hood to see if they can come to a mutually beneficial agreement as Kaz has tabs on pretty much everything in Ketterdam and all the political gang stuff that goes on. He also has PLANS that I'm pretty sure Jason would disrupt and Kaz is gonna do his best to integrate him into those plans while also maybe helping direct him in what he should be doing for optimal takeover.
Like if Kaz has the firepower of the Red Hood to add to his plans? Absolutely terrifying. Ofc there would be interpersonal conflict but that's like half the fun, the character dynamics possibilities are endless! I was thinking that the generally fanon accepted rules that Jason has (I'm more familiar with SoC canon and am more fuzzy on dc details so apologies) like regulating the drug trade, protecting sex workers, etc and strict enforcement of those rules are all things that Kaz wouldn't mind AND if Jason took down Tante Heleen's Menagerie? That would be a great scene for after everyone has started working together and taking over, maybe Jason doesn't know Inej's history but he can probably guess and offers to torture Tante Heleen for her (do I hate Heleen? Yes I do) wether or not he does Tante Heleen won't be conducting her business ever again.
I think that Kaz could definitely spruce up Jason's ten step revenge plot but how idk. For real tho, Kaz's lack of experience is one of the few things holding him back, when he's older? Even just late twenties, it'll be over for everyone lol.
The Barrel seems Crime Alley adjacent so those can be smashed together (would that make Kaz from Metropolis?? Lol but nah probably some farming state)
Omg what if Dick is Inej's brother? Doesn't really fit I think but just an idea. That'd be so freaking sad tho, she's gonna search for her parents and not know they're dead :(
Batman does batman stuff I guess, I didn't really care about him when I was thinking of this crossover but there could be interesting ideas for him. I feel like there's so much going on in Ketterdam/Gotham (Gothdam?lol) that he'd be run ragged and honestly I'd understand him barely putting even a dent in crime there. I'd still have Duke be a meta as opposed to a grisha mostly bc he's closest to a sun summoner and I'm not a fan of the Shadow and Bone books. Damian should definitely have his metal spine, maybe he's a Fabrikator or got that spine put in by one. Steph might be on the very fringes of Crows activity, I really like when her and Jason are besties in fics bc I feel like they have the least amount of baggage/history and have similar backgrounds so its easier if u want to ease him into the batfam one person at a time. Not that I've decided if that's what's happening here but anyways. I'll have more later, ttfn and please take any of this and run with it! Imma tag this thing Gothdam au.

the weird way Dean talks is his side of the cryptophasia and Sam understands he just doesn't stoop to speaking it lol
SKSJDJSKJSSK YESSSSS, he's basically the only person fluent in deanisms. john sortve understood but he was only at a conversational level. he's like a kid who took spanish for four years and can reliably ask where the bathroom is and hold a shaky conversation about how nice of a day it is, or how well the [sports team]'s doing. but sam could have full convos about like, particle physics and the meaning of the universe in deanisms

a mix-up of good omens-coded songs (idk how to title this--)
Hellooo my maggots, so there were a number of songs that were just so good omens and ineffable lovers coded that I had to see how they sounded together. But me being me, I don't know how to actually mashup songs, so I just sang it the way I'd have wanted to mashup the songs and made it into one song.
Of course all songs remind us of Good Omens now, that's a different matter of significant concern. But these especially were very Aziraphale and Crowley's religious-trauma-and-being-queer vibey.
The songs I cover here are (in order and excluding repeats) Devil's Backbone by the Civil Wars, Take Me to Church by Hozier, Angel By the Wings by Sia, Falling by Harry Styles, Holy Water by Noah Davis, The Village by Wrabel and Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.
And, well. Yep. The lyrics in the order that I sing them are below the cut. Thank you maggots for dragging me into this brainrot it is painful and unholy and I love it here so so much. Thank you @falling-raine for yelling at me to post this. Wahoooooooo!
[LYRICS]
Oh lord, oh lord, what have I done
I’ve fallen in love with a man on the run
Oh lord, oh lord, I’m begging you please
Don’t take that sinner from me
Oh, don’t take, take, take, take
Take me to church, I’ll worship like a dog
At the shrine of your lies, I’ll tell you my sins
And you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death, good god, let me give you my life
Oh lord, oh lord, what do I do?
I’ve fallen for someone who’s nothing like you
He’s raised on the edge of the devil’s backbone
I just want to take him home
Oh, I just want to take, take, take
So take an angel by the wings,
Beg her now for anything,
Beg her now for one more day
Just take an angel by the wings
Time to tell her everything
Ask her for the strength to stay
What am I now? What am I now?
What if I’m someone you won’t talk about?
I’m falling again, I’m falling again
I’m falling
I’ve walked through hell and back again
Cause I’m a man who loves a man
No you don’t need to pray for me
No I don’t need your
Holy water
I don’t need your sympathy, sympathy, your—
Holy water
Just cause you think differently, differently
There’s nothing wrong with you
It’s true, it’s true
There’s something wrong in the village, in the village
Oh
Coz I’ve been there, sitting in the same chair
Whispering that same prayer half a million times
It’s a lie though, buried in disciples
One page of the Bible isn’t worth a life
But I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music
Do ya?
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken
Hallelujah
Hallelujah.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I love them so much.
