INTRODUCING DEARHOODHARBOR, A JAYMIA BLOG

Welcome everyone!

This shiny new blog will shed a spotlight on the dynamic between two of DC’s runner-ups: Robin II and Speedy II, aka Jason Todd and Mia Dearden.

A few ground rules:

The standard “don’t be an asshole” mantra. Anon is open, and the posts are set so everyone can reply to them. However, at the first sign of harassment or trolling, it’ll be delete & block on sight.

It'll be best for this blog’s followers not to give these bad actors the attention they crave: don’t engage, block, and move on.

All manners of content will be accepted on this blog, as long as it’s made in good faith. This will include any shape or form the relationship between the two characters is presented: romantic, platonic, or anything beyond and in-between.

As Mia is a lesser known character, this blog will also give a shout-out to Mia-centric posts, following the same criteria as above.

You can tag your posts #dearhoodharbor, or drop a mention of this blog in them, if you want them to be included on this blog.

The inbox is open for any doubt you guys might need solved.

There are plans to organise a few low-key events for the ship down the line, including a JayMia Festival with proposed themes and prompts to inspire all kinds of fanworks during a fortnight, or a mini-exchange. Links will be added to this sticky post with the relevant information.

Here’s hoping those few of us who love these characters can have some fun in our little corner of the internet!

ETA: JOIN US FOR A SPEEDY SOLSTICE IN DECEMBER 21st

It'll be set later in the month, from May 22nd to May 24th. All kinds of fan creations (fic, meta, art of any kind, shipping manifestos, etc.) are welcome, as many or as few as you can, for as many or just one pairing as you have.

hi <3 tell me everythingggg abt the "five women cassandra cain slept with after breaking up with the love of her life" wip pls (& if im allowed to be greedy pls also tell me abt jaymia ft wiggly knife wip)

Five Women is (or is meant to be) plottier than the title suggests lol. As usual, it's set in the pre-reboot continuity (while taking some liberties reimagining characters and events that don't sit right with me in canon), years in the future so I can explore my desires for the characters going forward.

Here Cass is growing into herself, co-leading a new Outsiders team alongside Anissa Pierce; the breakup (with Steph, in case there was any doubt) is part of that journey.

I'm not going to say who the five women are, though I've talked about it with a few friends and I'm sure long-term followers might guess some of them LOL. The story does include Cass getting into the poly + kink scene, because I honestly think she could thrive there 👍

Re: wiggly knife. Jason did have his blade in Countdown (and lost in that storyline, but I ignore that), but there's also a moment in Seeing Red where he uses it to pin Mia's cape to the floor, there's a cut, and the next thing we see is Mia outside gym. Yes, it's likely he took it and ran with it, literally xD, but here I thought, what if Mia took it, and it made its way back to Jason in a more roundabout way?

Featuring Mia doing detective work, rereading old Teen Titans files, speaking with a couple of Bats, and facing some semi-OC (some of the people in Jason's crew who helped in her capture. They are there on page but I'm the one fleshing them out, so).

ask me about my wips

WE'RE ON THE THIRD WEEK!

Apologies for the delay, but here's the third week post! Remember to show your appreciation to femslash creators in our fandom, and if you want, to leave a comment with links in the third week entry or in the main one, linked above.

Here are some suggestions for this week:

Fanart. Sometimes it seems like it's rarer to find comments directly addressing the creator in visual work, so go ahead and say something nice to them. Feel free to understand "art" as expansively as you want, too! Gifsets, fanmixes, crafts... you name it.

Hurt/comfort. Who among those doesn't enjoy some hurt/comfort? Or even hurt and no comfort, for us tragedy enjoyers.

Multiple ships in one work. Search away! Maybe you'll find a story about a rare F/F/F love triangle, a polyship you enjoy, works with multiple separate pairings, or about one relationship ending and another beginning. All the femslash you could want!

[casscainweek]

Prompts:

Day 1 (Jan. 26): Daughter | Sister | Friend Day 2 (Jan. 27): Blood | Wolves | Ghosts Day 3 (Jan. 28): Detective | Civilian Life | Fear Toxin Day 4 (Jan. 29): Team-up | Crossover | Costume/Mantle Swap Day 5 (Jan. 30): Gotham | Blüdhaven | Hong Kong Day 6 (Jan. 31): Food | Love | Home Day 7 (Feb. 1): Free Day | Batgirl (2024) | Fairy Tale

The prompts are here to be interpreted as strictly or as loosely as you like (or even discarded all together). There's no pressure to participate in everything for this event—let's just show some love for Cassandra Cain!

The rules for this event remain the same as last year; the most important thing is to tag your posts #CassCainWeek2026 to participate! Late submissions will be accepted until the end of February.

Women Under the Sea 2026

We're kicking off the new year with our first event! Women Under the Sea is a week-long Aquafamily event taking place from January 18 to January 24. This event is a celebration of all the women in the Aquafamily, from Mera to Sheeva to Debbie.

Although there are no strict prompts, please keep the focus on the women of the Aquafamily. What are their hobbies? What are their dreams and aspirations? What do their relationships and friendships look like? What would you like to see in a solo about them? Feel free to use any of these questions as inspiration.

All fanwork types are accepted! Art, fan fiction, poetry, edits, icons, stimboards, moodboards, playlists, meta, etcetera.

Please tag this blog in all Women Under the Sea posts and use the #women under the sea 2026 and #women under the sea tags. I want to make sure all posts get shared here!

DCU FEMSLASH FEBRUARY COMMENT FEST

Recently I created a dreamwidth community with the goal of organising and promoting femslash events in the DC fandom. And I thought it fit to start off the year with a relatively low-key event where we don't need to make our own creations (yet!), but to show appreciation for those already here!

So, for Femslash February, the goal is to leave some appreciation for our fandom's femslash creators. There are no upper or lower limits, no requirements you need to meet. You can go into the wild to search for new (to you) fanworks, or return to old favourites, or finally have an excuse to knock that one fic off your reading list.

The only things you need to do is 1) leave a comment to the creator, to let them know you liked it (if you're one of those people who find it difficult to find something to say, maybe mention this event!) and 2) leave a link to the fanwork in the dreamwidth announcement post, or the weekly posts that'll be posted in there to promote the event. This way, we can all enjoy new femslash recs, during the month or at the end of it, when they will get compiled into a master list.

Blog rules also apply: the recs can't be about genderswapped male characters; please tag ratings and archive warnings as needed; and know that no bashing towards the ships or characters recommended and harassment towards the people who post them will be tolerated.

I don't want this event to be burdensome; feel free to do this in any way that feels right to you, without following any guidelines, mixing things up, combining them, etc. But I know some folks like to have a bit of direction, so I've come up with a few suggestions:

Week I (February 1st-7th): drabble or short form | angst | rarepair.

Week II (February 8th-14th): fanfic (>1k) | smut | unusual writing form (epistolary, interactive fiction, etc.).

Week III (February 15th-21st): fanart | hurt&comfort | multiple femslash ships in one work.

Week IV (February 22nd-28th): fanvids | fluff | alternate universes

Each week there will be a post to promote the event, focusing on the week's suggestions. 

Feel free to ask for clarifying information or leave suggestions in the comments of the dreamwidth post!

I didn’t like this ship like five days ago but then I had a vision…🥹

[dearhoodharbor]

[ID: drawing of Mia Dearden and Jason Todd from DC comics. They're dressed in their vigilante suits, Mia with the red and yellow Speedy version, with her yellow cape flowing behind her, and Jason with his first Red Hood costume, helmet on. They're slow dancing, and Mia is looking up at Jason, scowling. The lightning in the image illuminates the two of them where they meet, the rest being a bit darker, in the shadows.]

Mia lost count of how many times she'd been called that long ago. 500 words, M. References to past abuse.
