Hi! I'm finally catching up on Jason and the Three Terrors, I had stopped at chapter 42 way back then, and baby Jay taking such good care of the kids while himself not knowing what he's doing most of the time? Yeah, it's taking everything not to start full on sobbing. Then again I'm super sleep deprived 1nd stressed out because of work so my emotions are a bit of a mess, but aaaaah, I love Jason being such a good, loving, hardworking big brother. That's my baby there. 🥹 And hooray for Uncle Clark being such a solid, reliable adult! Anyway, I'm on chapter 52 now, and having a blast picking it procrastinating work as much as I can while watching the kids let themselves be kids.

Ahhhhh have fun! I really love that story so much Jason was doing his best 🥺🥺🥺🥺 he needed so many hugs and an ADULT but the kids were just fine under him he was doing great.

Hey, just want to let you know how much I love your fics!! I'm genuinely obsessed with them, and I managed to persuade my sister to read them (she doesn't normally read fanfic) and she loved them too. I think you're such a good writer!!

While I would find it hard to pick a favourite, I think I can manage it if i cheat and pick two — Jason and the Three Terrors and Reclaiming Innocence. I'm rereading J&TT right now and I love how Jason and... well, the three terrors xD... are written! And RI just makes me SO emotional every time I read it 😭.

Thank you so much for writing all these wonderful stories and sharing them for people to enjoy! ❤️

P.S. it was cool to find out that you're a Christian too! Not that I wouldn't like you if you weren't, its just nice to find an awesome Christian writer online :D

Thank you so much!!!! That's major praise that someone not into fanfic liked it, too!!! Wow.

I love Jason and his little brood of brats a LOT too!

And yay, thats so great! There's actually quite a few of us I think! I agree with you but it is always fun to find a connection to someone ❤️ Thanks for taking the time to send this lovely message

I have been so obsessed with your work for a long time now, and I’ve been loving your new Peter-Parker-needs-a-hug era! Any plans for a Peter Parker joins the bat family story in that beautiful brain of yours? Poor Peter could use some of that sibling protective love…

Thanks!!!! I’ve been really enjoying this era of writing. It’s been several years since I just followed my muse and I forgot how fast I could write when doing so. Honestly I think not all kidnappings are bad was the last time I really did this, and I still think wistfully about my time writing that 😂

I don’t have plans for a crossover, no. Can’t really say I’ve thought about it much either, however Dark Matter was the fic I read that pushed me back into the Spiderman fandom a couple months ago lmao so if you haven’t read that one you definitely should.

I’ve mostly been flitting between two long fics I’m working on:

one a time travel with the whole stark family +peter post endgame (Tony lives) where they meet Howard and Maria and burnout and giving up are the main themes Peter and Tony are dealing with,

and the other one alternate meeting Tony & Peter that’s got something similar to the vigilante registration act from Smallville (and superhero registration act from civil war the actual comics, and mutant registration from xmen… this is such a common trope lol) looming over Peter’s head to the point Peter’s pretty lackadaisical about his own life and it freaks Tony out enough to get his butt in gear to fix it.

Both have been pretty fun to explore but my head only spends a few days at a time in each so I’m not posting until I’ve got a complete work. I’m pretty tired of having WIPs posted to ao3 that I haven’t finished. I feel bad about it but I just do not have the drive to work on any of them right now. The registration act one is the closest to being done I’ve got 6 chapters written I think and I don’t think I’ll end up with more than 15? I’m halfway through the plot so hopefully lol. The time travel one i have a pretty solid outline/draft of most the scenes but only one actual chapter written.

Thank you for answering my question :)

I love your Reclaiming Innocence story(s) so much. I really appreciate how you’re able to cover such intense/dark topics without going into graphic detail (and the comfort as well!!). I’ve actually considered printing them out to put in a binder so that I know I’ll always have it; I think I’d be extremely distraught if you ever deleted it for some reason 😅.

Anyways sorry went on a mini ramble there, but I just wanted to say that I love the story. It’s been a big comfort to me (the comfort parts, at least).

Aww! I’m glad you like them so much, I love that story a lot and I look forward to when my muse gets back to it so I can finish it! (Which I WILL one day!!!)

And don’t worry! I don’t believe in deleting stuff online. I think carefully before I post stuff just because of that 😆 (doesn’t mean i don’t cringe at stuff I’ve posted in the past!) so no risk of it being deleted! If anything I’d just never log in and look again if for some reason I wanted to forget it existed but I consider that story my master piece so I don’t see that happening lol

Was rereading the bit of Warpath you have posted, and I had a question.

Did Bruce/Batman see the images of Jason ‘working’ or was it the police who later found those images? I imagine Jason would be deeply upset if it was the former; would he be able to recover from knowing that at where he is in the story (Reclaiming Innocence) now?

ugh what a rough topic! Poor Jason!!! I actually cover that in chapter 2 that I just have not been able to figure out and get written. (its just so dark I always go uh no thanks im done now so it's just not been finished) but yeah Bruce saw a little bit. I think in the chapter I have him end up throwing up he gets so disturbed by literally a frame or two of video. He wrote a computer program to block out Jason entirely and anything bad so he could focus on just the faces of the men in the videos.

I think deep down Jason knows that Bruce had to have seen that stuff since he knows that batman saw videos and stuff which led to various people being arrested. He might not have made the full connection yet consciously, but I don't think it would break him to know. He knows bruce knows what's happened, and he knows bruce is doing everything in his power to make sure it never happens to him or other kids in Gotham again, so there's so much trust there he isn't going to stop to get scared Bruce is secretly a bad guy. He might be upset for a few days when he does finally realize, but he also might just go, 'oh... yeah that makes sense.' and realize that bruce probably hated seeing that.

Across tumblr no one owns a truck for clout and that’s quite a good thing.

[phantomrose96]

To start 30% of tumblr users don’t own their own car, which already eliminates quite a lot of potential truck havingness you see.

Then among the car havers, the most common kind is a 20 year old sedan that was purchased for $2,400 and will be driven until the rims weather into sediment and become a new kind of sedan sedimentary rock called a sedanimentary rock. The second most common kind of car is a Subaru purchased by two lesbians who are no longer in a relationship but remain good enough friends still to be effective car co-parents.

Now this does leave an amount of truck havers. About 0.5-1% according to science. But importantly when you ask them about the truck the answer is “yeah my job is to pull stuck bulls out of the mud on the farm” and then they pull away and you get to see all the muddy bulls in the back of their truck, which is a real treat.

The Best Things, Chapter 42

Excerpt:

“Tim,” Bruce sighed deeply, “At this point, I am afraid for your safety. You need to tell me what’s going on, so we can address it.” 

“My safety,” Tim asked incredulously. What on earth did that possibly mean?

Bruce nodded seriously and said, “Yes. You are scaring me, son. If it’s nothing to be worrying about, then please tell me what it is, so I can stop.” 

All Tim could do was blink at Bruce. 

“Okay,” Bruce sighed, as he looked away from Tim and at the fireplace, “Here’s the pieces I have: You said I was ruining your life. You said you can’t go to Gotham anymore, and that your life was over. Why is your life over?” He looked back at Tim. 

Tim averted his eyes and crossed his arms tighter. He shouldn’t have said any of that to Bruce. He should have kept his stupid mouth shut. 

“Because from my vantage,” Bruce said, “you’ll be in Gotham on Monday for school.”

Well I think I’m about to have a fully written fic to post lol I started it on the 16th and I’m almost done. I’ve got a full first draft and just need to do the final draft for chapters 7-11. 1-6 are polished and ready to go. 😅 no one’s ever gonna guess what it’s about it’s not anything I’ve shared about before.

[cdelphiki]

No chapter for best things this week. I have it very well drafted so we aren’t in trouble of a hiatus again lol it’s just the Awana Grand Prix this weekend and I’m sort of maybe the director of Awana at my church so for some reason that means I have to DO STUFF? (Aka I’m having a blast lol)

I’m also still very upset over my laptop situation and my old laptop is functional but upon writing 5k words in a project I have remembered why I replaced that computer 3 years ago. The U and M keys are broken. 🙃 and the battery doesn’t last and it’s old and has a crappy processor so it was more logical to replace the machine than fix the problems. But now I’m back with it and it’s now a 10 year old machine that’s frustrating me to no end. But the broken screen on the better one flickers and I can’t handle using it even though you can see the screen relatively fine-ish, and I won’t be getting it fixed until June because my sisters gonna do the labor for free (I just gotta get my hands on the screen replacement) and I won’t see her until June lol.

according to all known laws of batman, a robin should not fight crime. batman hates child endangerment. the robin, of course, fights crime anyways, because robin doesn't care what batman thinks.

GUESS WHO BROKE HER LAPTOP SCREEN

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 I’m so mad at myself lol. My family talked me down from wanting to absolutely cry over this. It’s a $300 mistake sadly, because $300>$1500 for a new laptop. I’m gonna be rocking my 2017 MacBook in the meantime. It’s…. Serviceable I suppose. I got scrivener and Dropbox going on it after two hours of troubleshooting. I don’t have a chapter ready for Friday and I may just skip this week. I HAVE written like 20k words this week just not in a project ready to post. :/

Every time Bruce and Dick do a bit or Dick jokes and Bruce goes “stop it” it’s indirectly saving Bruce’s life actually

[astrugglingacademic]

Reminds me of this

[graymyson]

truly don't know how Bruce survived before His Little Guy. Dick has been adding a year to Bruce's life with his puns since day one.
