"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.
Ok, so, you mean
Danny’s end goes quiet and comes back bruised or hurt? Ok, so, does it also mean that if Danny has a rough day with Dash and then a rough vigilante time, it’s like “My soulmate gets hurt in the morning dies for a while and comes back even more hurt?”
How would this tie with Dan??? How would it tie with Dani???
Can we do even more angst by making it so Tim, Ber and Wes actually feel the electrocution for a moment and suddenly not? How about Tim’s missing spleen? Does Danny sass Wes and keep being like “What do you mean? I’m fully alive” or does Danny actually talk it with him?
Soulmate bonds were looked upon as a blessing. For they were rare and few and far between.
With the added presence of extraterrestrial lifeforms, there was a guarantee that it made it even more difficult to find any potential Soulmate that someone might have.
And of course, not all Soulmate bonds were the same, most differing in variety. The point being, it was very difficult to find one's soulmate if one did have them.
However, the media stated that it was always worth the effort. Soulmate bonds always worked out, either that be platonically or romantically, soulmates would be with each other for life.
So, what exactly did one do if their soulmate kept dying over and over again?
Tim, Bernard, Danny, and Wes all shared a soulmate bond. A touch-bond based Soulbond. They could feel anything their soulmate physically came into contact with. Skin on skin. And they could also feel any injuries their soulmate acquired.
Which, wasn't inherently an issue.
At first, the group couldn't actually tell how many soulmates they had once they realized what the soulbond was. The general consensus amongst them all was that they at least had more than one soulmate.
Danny didn't look to deeply into it. Wes and Bernard had been curious but had also left the detail alone. And Tim was the one that had been the one that had actually spent hours upon hours of sleepless nights trying to figure out just how many he had.
(He had even learned morse code in the hopes of communicating with his soulmates, but not being able to actually get his soulmates to do the same thing had more or less ruined the point.)
Everything, other than that, had been fine for the most part. Besides the general occasional scraps and bruises, everything had been fine. That was a normal occurrence amongst a touch-bond based Soulbond.
And then, Tim Drake became Robin at thirteen years old. And the injuries got a bit more severe. They were much more serious.
This started Bernard down the path of looking into Gotham's vigilante's. It was no secret that Batman took on Young prodigies, that other heroes at times would do the same. With the injuries his soulmate was receiving, Bernard began his search.
Danny and Wes had considered that their soulmate might be apart of an abusive household. But besides hugging themselves, they couldn't add much for comfort.
And then, Danny died when he was fourteen. His end of the bond going quiet. Tim, Bernard, and Wes all assumed one of their soulmates had died. That was until Danny's end of the bond came back as if nothing had happened. Sometimes with even more bruises they didn't feel happen originally, or completely unharmed.
Tim and Bernard assumed their soulmate was in the hospital, going in-between life and death. Tim doing more than a few illegal things in an attempt to find one of his soulmates. Wes had thought the same until he had saw Phantom bleed once. Noticed how Phantom always appeared when that end of the bond went quiet and was nowhere to be seen when it came back. He drove himself insane looking for Phantom.
Danny decidedly, did not in fact know of the frenzy he was putting his soulmates through. Or the fact that he was apart of making his soulmates as insane as they are about their conspiracy theories.
I promise you that when I manage to get out of this block I will be a menace and draw my cute little kitties (middle aged ocs) receiving the best hugs (having horrible war crimes happen to them) ever >w<
I'm like, finally secure in my gender, I'm a girlboy, that's it, She/her, he/him, yes I will wear a full face of make up while wearing the most frat dude outfit ever and I will still use he/him when I'm in the prettiest sparkly dress, It's my gender, I control it and y'all can't do shit about it, I will still use my birth name and my masc name, they're both me. It's all me. I'm Haziel and I'm *her* and as much as people complain they can't change it because I won't change for them.
I keep reading so many Peter Parker in Gotham AU fanfics, and I got the worst idea ever
As most start outs go in these fics, Post SM:NWH Peter ends up in DC universe Gotham
Only difference? The Joker in this DC universe is actually an alternate version of Norman Osborn.
I know this sounds so dumb but like,,, imagine it. May died trying to help Norman, and Peter nearly threw away his morals to avenge her death by killing Norman himself. Now he's faced with another version of Osborn who is so much more fucked up, who's been through so much shit, and all Peter can see past that shitty clown make-up is the poor man who needed help who his aunt died trying to help. The man who went to FEAST knowing Peter could help. The man who one second was scared of everything including himself, and the next was laughing uncontrollably, even through the punches Peter pounded into him.
What if Peter decides Mays death won't be in vain. That even if this isn't the same Norman Osborn, he's going to help him and he won't die trying like May. He's going to avenge her death the right way.
Then cue the Bats freaking the FUCK out because???? As much as they beat the shit out of him, Bruce had spent years trying to help him, then this homeless and totally adoptable kid shows up out of nowhere and is breaking past the Joker and to the real man trapped behind it all?????
dominic sessas voice is so nice to listen to like genuinely he needs to record an audiobook or something
buying dom all the cat dad merch possible and he never gets sick of it
you buy him one of those harnesses to wear the cat on his chest and he emerges with beau strapped in but with scratches on his hands and arms and you're like "did u have trouble getting him in there?" and dom's like "beau is a fickle man, but in the end, the harness bested him" and beau is just Seething but not making any attempt to free himself
or a tshirt that says "LUNA'S DAD" and he gets stopped in the grocery store by a curious mom "how old is your daughter?" and dom's like "...luna's my cat, my girlfriend thought she was being funny"
he's also the sorta cat dad where if you mention him being a cat dad, he's so proud and says "i'm their birth father. birthed them myself" and u have to have a talk with him about what is or isn't an inside thought
Fuck this history homework stuff, it's shit and I hate it and No I don't want to write about child labor rights in the XIX and fuck this I want to go sleep and nevermind I can't afford to fail this class
hey @ dominic sessa, a question
is this meant to be a self-portrait. what is this.
Danny is going to Gotham high which yay for him!
Problem? Right now he's in the office because he may have punched someone while defending damian and now everyone is waiting for his guardian
But clockwork can't come (humans perceive him a bit...well he just can't) and jazz has an important exam
So who's next in line?
Fright Knight! (Okay, technically he's not the Guardian OF Danny but more guarding Danny but details details)
So Fright Knight appears in all of his villain-esque glory and foaming sword
And everyone kinda freaks out because?? Danny, is your guardian a villain? What do you mean 'depends'?? What does the shrugging mean?? No we can't go back to the punch thing-
