So happy to be done with another ye olde af WIP.
Meme reference under cut
me: I write for myself, not validation
also me after posting a fic *refreshes ao3 every five minutes*
(two things can be true)
Okay everyone, help me pick an idea to fixate on. I have too many drafts and no self control.
Failed Experiment Kon: the learning modules being uploaded to Kon while he’s being grown fail to work properly. He wakes up early with almost no knowledge of the outside world. Luthor decides to scrap him for parts; enter young justice who vehemently disagree.
Broken Belfry: tensions are high after Bruce returns from the timestream. Tim is sick of being discredited and treated poorly so he leaves to make a new life for himself. Probably Tim/Kon
Black Sheep: All of the Wayne children have reasons to feel they don't belong. A series of vignettes exploring their relationships with their family.
Anything for you: Dick kills the joker and Bruce doesn’t stop him. Jason’s headstone bears the correct name. Bruce refuses to allow the memorial in the cave to remain. The Wayne’s publicly mourn and Tim never wears a dead boys colours. This changes things when Jason returns.
God this makes me so sad, I love it

I have no idea how I’m gonna make this part of one of my fics but by god I’m gonna find a way
Spellcasters hate this fact but if you just stick your fingers in their mouth while they're casting a spell with a verbal component it's literally more effective than a counter spell.
In tears

Pls just imagine how dramatic a young justice fic would be if it was like
So now you’ve got a very paranoid and over protective Batman who hasn’t actually met any of the other justice league members yet and an itsy bitsy Robin who looks like he’ll tear someone’s head off. The Justice League has them quarantined in the Watchtower, they’re not letting them go home to the batcave or anything, and Batman is arguing with Green Arrow while holding a flailing Robin by the scruff of his neck. He looks like a feral kitten.
Now keep in mind, no one in this scenario knows Batman and Robin’s secret identities. They’re not even really sure if they’re father and son, brothers, uncle and nephew, or maybe strange mentor and protege picked off the streets, they’ve no clue. So seeing what is now clearly a young twenty-something Batman trying to wrangle in a wriggling eight year old is both highly entertaining and totally baffling. Where the hell did these two even come from. And how has that tiny kid been around longer than some actual adult heroes.
“He bit me!” Kid Flash cries, running away from a glowering Robin.
“Don’t try to touch me next time, asshole!”
“Hey!” Batman barks, holding Robin up by an arm and dangling him in front of him. “We don’t bite super-powered strangers. Who knows what kind of radioactive germs they might have.”
“But B!” Robin’s voice is so high and whiny, Conner is starting to feel dizzy. “He tried to pick me up! He called me cute! I’m not cute I’m terrifying.”
And the two just keep bickering back and forth, Robin eventually hanging with his ankles and hands hooked around Batman’s arm. Batman is trying to shake him off like a bug. They are both still arguing with each other as this happens.
“Did Batman just accuse me of having radioactive germs?” Wally is gaping at the scene in front of him.
As is everyone else. This is a total mindfuck. Who let Batman be in charge of a kid.
The two of them do eventually, reluctantly, start to trust the league. And they’ve been told they have to stay on the Watchtower until their magic expert gets back from a mission. Four days from now.
There’s one point when most others stationed on the Watchtower are sleeping or taking a break, and Batman is holding a drowsy Robin close to his chest and looking out the windows of the observation deck. Someone brought them some casual clothes to wear during their downtime, but they both have domino masks over their eyes. Those who see them like that can’t quite comprehend just how young Batman looks without the cowl.
“The moon looks so big,” a sleepy Robin mumbles, his cheek squished against Batman’s shoulder.
“That’s ‘cause it’s so much closer here,” Batman tells him, his voice incredibly soft. “Can you see where Gotham would be?”
Robin’s head turns just slightly, looking toward the Earth, and he hums, a fist moving up to scrub at his eye.
“S’over there,” he points. “With all the clouds ‘n stuff.”
“Looks tiny from up here, huh?”
“Yeah.”
Robin mouth opens in a comically wide yawn, then he shoves his face in Batman’s neck.
“S’not gonna fall from the sky, is it?”
“Nah.” Batman shifts his arms, holding Robin a little tighter. “This place is in orbit, kinda like how the moon is. It’s not gonna fall.”
“Would you catch it if it did?”
“I’d steal us a ship from here so fast, I wouldn’t need to catch it.”
“Kay.”
Batman presses his cheek to the top of Robin’s head, stray curls tickling his nose.
“Do you wanna practice your flips and shit in the morning? I’ll spot you.”
“Yeah,” Robin mumbles, “And I wanna scare Green Lantern by poppin’ outta the vent again. He screamed like a little girl when I landed on the table.”
“Do a flip when you do it and I’ll smuggle you an ice cream bar from their kitchen.”
“Deal.”
Batman has to twist his left arm funny so he can shake Robin’s hand, his right arm occupied by holding Robin up, and they shake on it.
Batman lets out a snort of a laugh, looking at Robin with an incredibly fond look on his face.
For everyone else, it’s a very long four days of them being menaces and encouraging each other to do more and more odd shit.
When they get turned back, they act like nothing was out of the ordinary. They’re not even phased when they’re reminded of some of the things they got into.
