thinking about how Dick is pretty much the only one who was around for Bruce's Whore Era. Like sure he still had relationships throughout the growing of his family but seriously this man was getting bitches left and right and it just sloooowly tapered off during Dick's Robin-ship. All the batkids still think Bruce is a whore but Dick Knows. He was there. And when they're talking about it Bruce has to make desperate pleading eye contact with Dick so Dick doesn't bring up any of the many times he found Bruce crying on the floor of the bathroom after his third breakup of the year (it's Valentine's Day). Dick has so much relationships blackmail on Bruce solely because he's been around so much longer than literally everybody else

What if the general public HAS drawn the connection of Bruce Wayne’s kids=Batman’s sidekicks. But the idea of Bruce Wayne Is An Absolute Idiot, Just A Total Himbo, is so entrenched in peoples minds that they truly cannot imagine Bruce is Batman. So obviously the clear conclusion to make is that Batman is Bruce Wayne’s sugar baby

[megamindsupremacy]

Like clearly Batman has to have gotten his money from somewhere. Bruce Wayne has spoken out constantly about making Gotham better. Every time something happens to one of Bruce Wayne’s kids Batman loses his shit. Clearly Batman is training Bruce’s kids as vigilantes and also fucking him

I really like the idea that Angel wasn't particularly good looking when alive.

[kitsunesongs]

I love the idea of something happening that makes everyone return to how they looked when they were human, and they are shocked to see a) Angel doesn't look like himself at all, and b) Alastor is just so, so fucking pretty, like goddamn.

[periguita]

Hell had to nerf Alastor’s beauty because he’d become Helen of Troy otherwise.

It doesn’t work and he’s still VERY VERY attractive but at least he’s not causing a war(yet).

[kitsunesongs]

And then they all get turned human and - you KNOW Vox is smugging over how he doesn't have a TV head and how his human form is hotter then Angel's so he brings news cameras over to the hotel - ooh what if this happens in episode 3, so their still invited and he's planning to make it seem like Charlie had something to do with turning everyone human - but Alastor as a human doesn't have his wound, cause they are returned to exactly how they were before they died.

So when he gets there and asks 'Where's Alastor' Alastor couldn't just shadowport out of there so Charlie says 'right over there!' and he and the cameras all see Alastor and all of hell promptly loses their minds.

So many 'have you ever seen a man so beautiful you started crying' memes, so, so many.

and Vox is like 'I'm older then him (50s versus 30s) I'm richer, I'm powerful, fuck I'm TALLER' and trying to lord it over Alastor and Alastor just laughs and walks away.

he's not in pain, the human forms mean no soul deals are working, he's powerless but so is everyone else - he's having a great time!

#expired verse + #my mommy is a princess!AU + #baby!Al

Expired & Mommy Charlie Crossover AU

Canon Alastor was sent back in time when this AU Charlie was accidentally summoned by cultists. The spell pulled him along with her.

Seeing a younger Charlie was startling enough, but nothing could’ve prepared him for the sight of his infant self—dead on the altar, offered as a sacrifice.

This Charlie was just a college student, way too overwhelmed by the gruesome scene to register the other demon in the room. She sobbed as she cradled the tiny corpse, tears streaming down her face. Only when a hand touched her shoulder did she realize she wasn’t alone.

Somehow, the summoning ritual had brought him here too. Alastor took charge, examining the infant. It was indeed him—or had been. Feeling a strange sense of responsibility as the only adult present, he comforted Charlie and assured her this wasn’t her fault. The cultists’ recklessness had caused this tragedy, not her.

Charlie had no idea who this stranger was, but she clung to him anyway. He was the only lifeline she had in this nightmare.

After they buried the baby in a makeshift grave—and the cultist lair mysteriously burned in green fire—they managed to return to Hell. But the moment they arrived, the infant’s soul materialized in Charlie’s arms. They both understood immediately: she owned him now.

Charlie burst into fresh tears. The baby was now a sinner, eternally bound to Hell with no chance to grow up. She collapsed to her knees, clutching him, apologizing over and over. This was her fault. He was damned because of her.

Alastor watched, his hands trembling. His infant self from another timeline had been robbed of life and freedom by power-hungry fanatics.

And this younger Charlie?

She wasn’t crying for herself—she was crying for a kid who lost everything before he could even have anything.

Before he could speak, Charlie stood up, determination blazing in her eyes.

“No. I won’t let this happen.” Power radiated from her as the soul chain manifested into reality. “I won’t own him.”

The contract appeared before her. She grasped the bond between them and began reshaping it through sheer will.

“I won’t be his owner.” The contract started glowing and shifting. “I will be his mother.”

The room exploded in warm, brilliant light.

The baby began to transform, taking on deer-like features—small nubby horns, red hair fading to black at the tips. Most surprisingly, the distinctive red cheek marks of the Morningstar family appeared on his face.

When the light faded, he yawned—a perfectly normal baby sound—and snuggled contentedly against her warmth.

Charlie held him close, exhausted but filled with wonder. He wasn’t a full sinner anymore, nor quite a hellborn demon. He was like her—someone who could grow up, who had a future.

Her son.

“Hi there, Alastor,” she whispered, pressing a kiss to his tiny forehead. “I’m Charlie. I’m your mom now. And I love you. More than anything in any realm.”

Charlie was crying happy tears, and meanwhile Alastor’s jaw was on the floor. This Charlie had just straight-up adopted him—well, baby him—without even thinking twice. Something deep inside him just... cracked. Emotions he couldn’t even name were hitting him all at once.

Right then and there, he decided: yeah, he was sticking around to see how this played out.

When the dust settled, Alastor introduced himself as Alistair (since “Alastor” was now taken by the tiny guy). He offered to be Charlie’s nanny. I mean, she was a busy college student and a brand new mom—she could probably use some pointers, right?

Charlie was suspicious at first. Why would some random demon just volunteer to help her? Sure, they got summoned together by accident, but this whole thing felt sketchy. Also, why did this guy and her baby look like they could be related? Seriously, they looked so alike he could’ve been the dad.

But here’s the thing—she was completely out of her depth. She had no idea how to mom. Luckily, Alistair actually came through. He taught her everything: diaper changes, bottle prep, laundry, housework, how to balance a crazy schedule while keeping a baby alive...

The guy was a total lifesaver. Honestly, she didn’t know what she’d do without him.

When he asked about her parents, she admitted they’d been ghosting her calls and basically ignoring her existence. He literally gasped like he’d just witnessed the worst crime ever, and then disappeared for a few days.

Things got a bit rough without him, but thankfully he’d taught her enough to handle things on her own. A few days later, her mom came bursting into her dorm room, crying and hugging her, while Alistair dragged her dad in behind her with his shadow tentacles, squeezing him like a rubber duck.

Her parents were finally there—full of apologies for ignoring her, gushing about how brave and loving she was, and ready to meet their new grandson.

Charlie was thrilled that Alistair got them to come. But seriously, how did he pull that off?

What the hell happened during those few days?

And why were her parents giving him such weird looks?

I don't really have anything to add to this other then that I loved it!

Oh, actually - I can imagine Alastor refusing to change his name but allowing her to call him 'Al'!

I'm glad Charlie gets parental support this time! Three times over, hee.

Also, I think they might eventually realise something is odd with how similar look Alastor and baby!Alastor are, and how he ended up at the summoning too - and figure he might be, yes, the baby's relative, and that's why he was brought there.

Let the Punishment

This is something I’ve been thinking about on and off - mainly whenever I feel like being particularly harsh/uncharitable/spiteful/dark towards Lucifer and Charlie. Let’s call it - the Let The Punishment Fit The Crime AU. I admit that this is a rather uncharitable take on the characters, but I find I like to bash my faves on occasion.

I don’t know how familiar you are with @imusttype’s Screaming Rain AU (truly excellent plot and world build in my opinion!) but I was directly inspired by it. The general idea is that Charlie and Lucifer screw up in a major way - a way that majorly negatively impacts hell, that impacts some of Alastor’s claimed Mines, that Alastor warned them about but they overruled him because they ‘know best!’ and didn’t accept criticism.

And, due to handwaved circumstances - a favor owed, Alastor taking steps, a Deal broken - Alastor is the one who gets to choose what the consequences look like when the dust settles and it becomes clear how massively the two Morningstars screwed up. 

For Charlie, it’s simple. She claims to want the best for Sinners, but she is apparently incapable of empathizing with them. She consistently violates boundaries in the name of achieving her own goals, and can’t seem to see the world as anything other than black and white. 

Her sentence, per Alastor, is to have the majority of her power locked away for a specified amount of time. She’ll only have access to the basic abilities the average Sinner is capable of - because guess what? That’s how she’s going to live. The entire Sinner experience - starting with being dropped off in a random area of the Pride Ring, with no resources or contacts whatsoever. And the cherry on the top is that she will be magically rendered unrecognizable to literally everyone else, and magically bound so that she can’t reveal her true identity to anyone. About the only ‘mercy’ Alastor shows her is that he also binds her so she can’t trade away her soul in a soul deal for the duration of the experience. 

That doubles as Lucifer’s punishment as well. Knowing that his little girl is out there, defenseless, powerless - and, well. He’s going to have a very strong motivation to help - to help make things better in Pride, to treat everyone with kindness and respect because any one of these people could be his daughter. He can’t ignore Pride anymore.  

My Answer:

Ooh I love this concept. I love the idea that this is a punishment bestowed by the Speaker of God herself, because of what they did (I REALLY like the idea of them releasing the Old Overlords like in Scream Rain, where rather then them and Sera/Heaven forcing Alastor to do it Lucifer and Charlie do it themselves, Lucifer because it pisses off Alastor and Heaven asked and Charlie wants it and he can show off, and Charlie because Heaven asked and she doesn’t like the idea of eternal torture and surely they can’t be THAT bad) and Alastor has to fight and kill them/put them back in the airwaves himself because Lucifer can’t fight, Charlie isn’t experienced enough, and the other modern Overlords COMBINED can maybe take down ONE of them. MAYBE.

(Other overlords, watching the fights go down: Seriously, how did we ever buy that VOX beat him? Cringe.)

And he may still be injured while doing this, and he’s taking a bunch of them at once rather then one on one like before, so he gets badly hurt - so the Speaker, when she shows up to gently scold Sera and Lucifer and fix the rain/airwaves because they really ARE fucked up and this is the only way to fix them, has Alastor pick their punishment.

And for a moment they are terrified because Alastor could ask for anything. He could have them killed, ripped apart, given to him as owned souls…

And instead he does this. Makes Charlie learn, makes Lucifer be a proper king.

I love it.

[kitsunesongs]

I wonder how Winners who knew Alastor in life feel about him not being in Heaven. Imagine them in the Expired Universe somehow coming into contact with Hell (maybe due to Charlie's efforts for redemption) and not only hearing about everything Alastor has done in Hell but also to the conclusion he's there just for killing his shitty father. The most ironic part is that, according his backstory in that very fic, he would be in Hell even If he killed no one. Just for commiting cannibalism to survive

Bad. They feel BAD. It's like Molly with Anthony, but WORSE, because she knows her brother was in the mafia, possibly she knows he killed their dad (and even why) whereas Amelie/Richard in Alastor in Wonderland AU/Doyle in the Sherlock in Expired AU/and so on, his friends and community, Mrs Dubois and the Landry kids and the other orphans, they don't know about the killings. Unless they talk to Guy (who absolutely noticed the state those bodies were in and carefully didn't mention it because he didn't want Alastor to be hurt/killed for doing what he had to do to survive) they won't know about the cannibalism, but Amelie DOES remember enough about how she died/they can do some detective work about Bumby in THAT au, that they 'know' why Alastor is in hell - and its wrong.

Protecting his mother/avenging his family himself and the other children by stopping Bumby - that shouldn't get you sent to hell.

And then they find others, like Siobhan's daughter, Anatoly...

Soon, all the winners are rioting.

[kitsunesongs]

This au was completely inspired by a comment that I made about Sera being the most compatible to Alastor. (I was joking, but now that I think about it, they kind of are. Sera and Alastor are big on having justice, and both are willing to do what it takes to serve justice. Alastor- murder. Sera- the exterminations.) Then I got to thinking about the Baby Daddy Aus.

We got Baby Daddy Roo. We got Baby Daddy Speaker of God. We do not have a Baby Daddy Sera. That needs to be corrected.

Sera had a long day. She had just finished speaking with Adam about the new exterminations that would be taking place. (She feels like she just made a grave mistake, but what's done is done.) On top of that, the Speaker of God kept giving her amused glances, as if the Speaker knew something was going to happen and found it amusing. Sera asked but was given cryptic answers, as usual.

Then she felt the pulling of being summoned. This should be impossible, as she had taken precautions to hide her sigils so she would not be summoned. Sera sighed and agreed to the summoning. The faster the summoning is done, the quicker she can get the sigil from the summoner and back to Heaven and pretend that nothing happened.

She wasn't expecting to be summoned by a Sinner of all beings. And she definitely wasn't expecting the Sinner to ask her to make him a mother.

The Sinner's name is Alastor. He gives the same explanation for why he wants to become a mother, not a father. (In Baby Daddy Roo). Sera admits that she is curious. Sinners are in Hell for a reason.

(I have a head canon that Sera can use her abilities to see what crimes a Sinner did while alive but rarely uses it because she hardly has anything to do with Hell, besides the Exterminations.)

Sera quickly finds out that Alastor is not meant to be a Sinner, but a Winner. He is a serial killer, yes, but one who brought justice to those who were denied. The only reason that he is in Hell is because of his soul being owned by a Roo cultist (?!). Roo having followers is a problem, but Sera will deal with that later. She agrees to father the child, breaks the deal, and brings Alastor to Heaven just like the Speaker of God did in Baby Daddy Speaker of God.

If Alastor was meant to be in Heaven as a Winner, then how many Sinners are in Hell that were meant to be in Winners? And more importantly, is the exterminations truly the right answer to Hell's overpopulation problem?

Meanwhile, Alastor is quite happy to be getting his wish. Beyond pissed off at Rosie, due to her deception and plans to use him for whatever Roo is planning. No, thank you. He does not want any part of that. (He isn't too upset about the fact that he might never be in Hell again, mainly because he gets to see his Maman after a century, and he gets to be a mother himself. Not a bad deal if you ask him.)

Ookay, so I actually like this better if Alastor ISN'T meant to be a winner, cause then Sera can just go 'some sinners are actually missorted winners, we need to find them - and THEN genocide the rest' and I don't want to give her the easy out. The whole point of Pentious is that it shows sinners AREN'T eternally damned, they can be better, they can redeem themselves, and anyone killed in the Exterminations lost that chance permanently.

So imagine that, rather, Sera doesn't know why this sinner wants a baby, but she can't leave until she's completed the task she was summoned for - so she does a mental scan of his soul, his sins, his past, the things he did and WHY.

Its not something she usually does.

Because it involves going deep into the soul, and for a sinner? Surely the soul will be filthy! She will need to pray long and cleanse herself after this but she was already going to do that after agreeing to the Exterminations, so...

And then she discovers Alastor's soul. In all its duality and brightness, its light and dark intertwined. She sees his sins yes, but also WHY he sinned. She experiences what it was like to live as a black person in the south in Jim Crow. The fear, of simply walking down the street. The stress, the pain, the anger.

For the first time, she experiences what humans do. For the first time, she UNDERSTANDS.

And she knows why Alastor wants this child, the memories of his mother, the yearning to be a parent - she agrees, in exchange for him coming to heaven during the pregnancy and her being able to spend time with the baby (Alastor is Asexual and Sera is a Lesbian. Neither are attracted to each other. That will not stop them co-parenting this baby they create together.).

Quite possibly, the whole thing breaks the deal with Rosie in some way, whether Sera can do that on purpose or not.

And Sera....stops the Exterminations.

Which changes a LOT.

I know it's not wednesday but I've been sick this week so...

This week’s word is CHAIN for @ficwip's Word Game Wednesday. So here's a few wip sneak peeks from yours truly...

nnt: cuffed zel prompt

Zeldris glared down at the handcuffs wrapped around his wrist, following the contour of the metal and clearly realizing that except keeping his hands by each other, they weren’t exactly accomplishing anything else. No chain to keep him trapped in the bed or even room, not even an ounce of magic to counteract any magic he could use for his escape. Frowning, he pulled a little against the cuffs, clearly noting how easily he could break them apart if only he decided to do so. He scoffed, the frowning turning to a look of disbelief. “Are these seriously supposed to restrain me?” “Well, I could ask Merlin for some demon sealing chains if that’d make you feel better.”

swat: the locket (demon!street au)

What’s the deal with the locket? What’s he hiding? It’s been days since the confrontation with the suspect, but his words still haunt Luca. It’s gotten to the point where he finds himself studying Street as they do the dishes together. The locket in question is hanging, as always, around the younger man’s neck, glinting slightly in the afternoon sun. He has always just assumed it was some sentimental keepsake, they all have. The locket itself is simple, a slight silver chain holding up a small oval locket made from a... Well, Luca isn’t sure exactly what it’s made of but it’s from the Darklands. He just thought of it as Street keeping a piece of that world with him. He might not have happy memories from his childhood there, but he always spoke fondly of the place itself.

I keep thinking about the fact that Eridians seem so much stronger and sturdier than humans, so what humans-are-space-orcs thing could Grace even do that would freak Rocky out... and then I remembered humans are persistence predators.

So picture some years in the future when the xenonite suits are so safe that Grace's class can now take field trips into his biodome. Rocky's there because this is a big moment for everyone involved and also he just loves listening to Grace in his element. One of the more mischievous kids tries to sneak off from the group and there are plenty of chaperones but Grace is the first to notice.

His posture changes, goes focused but loose in a way Rocky's never seen before as he peels of from the crowd. Rocky just stands there, stunned, as he watches his sweet, gangly, goofy, clumsy blob of a friend turn into a hunter. Grace circles around the pebble, slightly crouched, head turned and honed in, arms loose to the sides, and maybe the little one notices and does that nervously excited giggle-squeal thing kids do when they're being chased and tries to get away, but Grace expertly corrals them. He doesn't even have to run for it, he just pens the kid in, lunges-

And takes the little pebble by the claw to lead them safely back to their peers. And just like that he's Grace again, smiling and joking and tripping over his improvised shoelaces. Rocky hasn't been scared of Grace since first contact. Have you seen the guy? ... but for a second there his instincts were telling him to run.

[roxineedstosleep]

Listen to me!

The thing is, for now, they’ve always mentioned that Ryland is seen as soft and "leaky/wet" by Rocky whenever other Eridians ask about him.

Plus, Ryland is openly clumsy, emotional, and seems to adore teaching and being gentle with children. Sure, they know he’s brave and terrifyingly intelligent—he didn’t achieve what he achieved for nothing.

But it’s when other Eridians ask about human evolution that they start to get a bit scared.

The fact that the human species developed ocular vision just to be able to navigate is quite something. Because, even if it's deficient by Eridian standards, apparently the environment and the human race needed something more than just sound and touch stimuli.

Whenever small rocks or pebbles found their way into the human habitat, Ryland seemed capable of "herding" them so they wouldn't wander too far. Also, on the rare occasions Ryland left his habitat in his suit to walk around Erid (a custom suit with special light generators so he could move and withstand the pressure), he seemed to move with a caution similar to that of a predator.

And another thing? His voice. Ugh.

His vocal cords were mediocre at best. But they could easily recognise the inflections of his emotions.

Ryland was incapable of speaking Eridian properly. He was highly limited. He always used his translator to avoid misunderstandings.

But bloody hell, they once saw him arguing with Rocky.

Rocky was practically cornered by the soft human. Ryland’s shouting and his sharp, biting tone only became more terrifying when they noticed how he was leaning over the other Eridian. And it was only because he’d been interrupted by the scientist that he noticed Ryland was practically in attack-and-hunt mode.

As if his body was instinctively ready to strike at the slightest right stimulus.

Only for him to completely relax and snap right back into that friendly tone the moment he noticed someone else’s presence.

And his reflexes? Terrifying. If his cup was about to fall? Or if one of his children had rushed too quickly up a mound?

Ryland would sprint at a terrifying speed to catch the object

[echothefreak]

And the way his body bends. Of course human and Eridian anatomy are vastly different, but their joints still carry the same basic structure and function. Yet, the way he stretches his limbs past their typical resting position upon waking up, a haunting display of their flexibility.

The way his joints suddenly make snapping and cracking noises as though breaking, but result fully functional and healthy.

And his head—detached from everything else and able to swivel in near any direction. Knowing his vision can only go in one direction at a time, it feels eerie when his gaze is locked onto you. Like you are a target.

[prideling]

Okay I love that you bring up how weird the concept of a HEAD is to Eridians because... well... they don't have one. A whole other piece of this creature's body, on a (limited but still of a decent range) swivel, specifically meant to house the thinking AND sensing organs? Insane.

And can we take a moment to picture how gross the idea of EYES would be? Not only are these organs specifically meant for a type of sense Eridians can't even fathom, but they're constantly wet, wiggle around in their sockets, and can be tucked in and hidden behind a mobile lid. Do yourself an ABSOLUTE DISSERVICE and look at a muntjac deer turning its scent glands inside out for an equivalent idea of how freaky this has to be for Eridians! That's not supposed to move like that!!!
