When Jason and Dick are so busy competing for the martyr trophy in self-loathing that they forget that their third partner is Deathstroke.

“Fine.” Slade didn’t move from where he was lounged next to Jason, but he reached his arm out enough to trail his fingers down Dick’s spine. “Everything will be fine, and once it is, the three of us are going to have a long talk about the dynamics of this relationship. Because I’m extremely interested in the lack of agency the two of you seem to believe I have here.”

Will you bring out the tunes today?

Bang. I'm pretty sure the word you are hunting for is bang.

Neil Banged out his tunes today, on a train you have the comfort and relaxation to bang out your own tunes

Last Sentence Tag Game

Thank you @mid-nightowl for tagging me! (You tagged me like a century ago, and I appreciate it. I am just THE Worst, sometimes.) Plus, I've finally actually written something, so I now have a line I can actually share.

Rules: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence

Jason tugged on Dick’s hair in retaliation, and Dick bit down on the juncture between Jason’s neck and shoulder hard enough to make Jason jump.

Tagging anyone who is interested, because I do not have brain power and that's too many words to find people.

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

Mr Gaiman what is your favorite ice cream flavor?

I think the ritual of stabbing Julius Caesar on the Ides of March is an important Tumblr tradition that needs to be maintained for coming generations.

“It’s a yes or no question, Jason,” Kyle said, still floating a foot off the floor with an aura of white light so bright boats in the Hudson could probably see it. “Do I need to fly to Gotham and kick Batman’s ass?”

Everything from the question to the still battle clad white lantern hovering in his living room was so ridiculous that all Jason could do was laugh. “I’m almost tempted to say yes, just to see you try, Rayner.”

“You don’t think I could take him? I’m like the only white lantern.”

“Yeah,” Jason said. “And he’s Batman.”

“Exactly.” Kyle finally had the decency to stop floating, but only so he could brace his feet and glare at Jason. “Which means I mastered the entire emotional spectrum before he’s even found it yet. World’s greatest detective, my ass.”

Jason hated that he found himself laughing again. Hated how fucking easy Rayner always managed to make it seem. Hated that he was getting way too attached to someone whose literal job was to be anywhere but on Earth.

“Just sit down, nightlight,” Jason said. “B would hand your ass to you backwards and upside down.”

“Hey, I do actually know how to fight,” Kyle said. “It’s not all just light shows and imagination.”

“Yeah? Please just tell me John or Guy showed you how to throw a punch, and not Hal.”

“The old guard wasn’t exactly around to teach me when I started this, so no. Donna taught me, and Bruce.”

Jason winced at the clumsy misstep. He forgot, sometimes, that Kyle had spent the first part of his hero career making things up and learning as he went. As much as Jason would never admit it to him, Kyle was competent, more than. He was smart, tactical when he needed to be, and on his second stint of wielding god-like powers.

“Wait, Bruce taught you how to fight? When the hell did that happen?”

Kyle shrugged. “Back when I was on the league. Almost seemed like he’d decided it was his job to look out for me.”

Jason hummed, giving Kyle a once over. “I mean, you are his type. Black hair, blue eyes, constantly stumbling into trouble. He probably thought you were one of his and he’d just temporarily misplaced you.”

Kyle snorted, before the sound became a full laugh and he finally flopped down on the couch beside Jason, dismissing his white lantern uniform as he fell. “That’s so fucked up.”

“Yeah,” Jason said, lifting his glass of water in a fake cheer. “Now, whose turn was it to pick the movie?”

#jason todd #kyle rayner #jaykyle #crow writes words #i have no context for this #I’m just trying to #get back in the habit #of writing #and this popped into my head

[trivialcrow]

please can we see some of given & denied :)

Of course! Thank you for the ask!

For a while, the three of them stayed curled together, content in the comfort and silence of the room. Jason’s thoughts drifted and his head drooped, tucking against the curve of Slade’s neck. Without thinking, Jason skimmed his lips across the mating gland beneath Slade’s ear, and the Alpha rumbled a low purr of appreciation. The soft serenity of the room cracked under the punched out gasp of pain from Dick, who immediately cut the sound off between clenched teeth. “It’s fine,” he said. “I’m fine.” “You’re not,” Jason said, pulling away from Slade so he could wrap both arms around Dick and press a kiss into his mop of wild black hair. “And it’s all my fault.” Dick huffed, but the sound was strained and the dismissal undercut as he pressed his forehead against Jason’s collarbone. “Don’t be an idiot. It’s not like you held a gun against my head and forced me to claim you.” “Except that I kind of did.” “If you’re goal is to distract me from pain by pissing me off, it’s really working Little Wing.” “That’s not-“ “Both of you, stop it.”

WIP WEDNESDAY GAME

Yes, I know it's Tuesday, but right now I have time and I need someone to come kick my ass and make me write, and I'm off tomorrow, so it'll be WIP Wednesday, eventually. So, let's try this. Feel free to send me an ask.

It’s WIP Wednesday, time for a little accountability, sharing your work, and getting a kick in the pants.

Here’s how it works:

In a reblog of this post (so people can find you in the notes) or new thread (w/ rules attached) if you want to play on your own, post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to play!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can’t share from (for example, an event or gift fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. I’ll be searching the reblogs to find people to send asks to!

If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Game snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.

“I screwed it up last time,” Jason pointed out. “Why bring me back?”

“I expect you’ve learned from your mistakes,” Bruce said, and then softer, as if unsure how Jason would take the words. “And you didn’t screw it up. Your job was to keep Dick alive, and you did.”

“No. My job was to keep him safe.”

“You did the best you could, under the circumstances.”

“Which wasn’t good enough.” Jason leaned back in his chair, biting back a curse when pain crackled through him like lightning. “And I’m not half as good now as I was then, thanks to -“ he made a sharp gesture at the right side of his body.

Bruce clasped his hands together, posture rigid. “I don’t believe that,” he said, and then barreled on before Jason could argue. “But even so, you working at a disadvantage is still better than anyone else in the business. I need you on this, Jason. Dick needs you.”

Jason’s jaw clenched and he jerked his head away, staring out the wall of windows and across the city beyond. “You’re a fucking bastard, you know that?”

“I do,” Bruce said. “So, can I take that as agreement?”

Hi 👋 for the WIP Wednesday I'd love to see a snippet of Under Pressure (tho I'm pretty sure any writing you post will drive me insane) <3

Thank you for the ask! And for it being JayKyle! I'm still getting the hang of the dynamic between these two, but hope you enjoy!

Fuck. If Jason and Bruce had had another falling out, that would explain why Jason was hiding out in New York rather than Gotham. Unfortunately, a disagreement between those two could be anything from a screaming match to a beat down. Kyle surveyed Jason with a critical eye, searching for any obvious injury. “What happened?” “Don’t worry about it, Nightlight,” Jason said. “You just got back, and you’re barely staying upright. Go shower and come to bed. We can catch up tomorrow. That was your original plan anyway, right?” “It was,” Kyle said, and didn’t move. “But that was before I came home to this.” “And what’s this, exactly?” “You tell me.” Kyle reached for Jason’s hand, but froze when Jason’s fingers twitched away from him before curling into a fist against his thigh. “Fuck, sorry. I just -“ he cut himself off and shook his head, eyes squeezing shut. Kyle’s jaw worked for a second, fighting for calm, but Jason must have sensed his frustration because he shuffled away another couple inches. “Jason,” he said, making an effort to keep his voice soft. “What happened? What did Bruce do?” Jason’s laugh was harsh and tinged with a tremor of hysteria. “What always happens,” he said. “I fucked up and B made me pay for it.”

It is a painful truth that actually none of my fics are abandoned, no, not even the ones that haven’t updated in five years. I still know exactly what happens next, and after that, and so on. They’re not abandoned; they’re right here, haunting me, characters climbing up my pants like kittens nagging for dinner.
