At long last, I'm happy to present chapter 9 of Grinning Yellows, Spinning Reds! This update's highlights include:

Crazy Quilt!

Identity issues!

Some follow up on Jason learning that his dad is dead!

Some of the most poetic lines I've ever written!

Hope you enjoy and thank you for your patience <3

#warrior's thoughts #warrior writes #jason lives au #currentverse updates #jason todd #bruce wayne #this is my longest chapter so far i'm pretty pleased with it #and next time: jason's first meeting with the titans 👀#so that's something to look forward to #btw comments are always welcome and appreciated but never required <3

my dearest GYSR readers,

is there anything you would like to see in an upcoming chapter that is NOT based on a canon comic? I've hit some snags in my outlining and have now space to add in some extra things, so if there's anything you want to see, please comment here or send me an ask with your ideas and I'll see what I can work out :)

in the meantime, I'll tell you that next chapter introduces Superman, and I have about 600 words written so far. it's in progress so I'm not even going to try guessing at when it'll be done, but that's what you can expect for ch 11.

thank you for your patience and I hope you've enjoyed the first third of this fic!

#warrior's thoughts #currentverse updates #idk why i wrote this like a formal letter this is totally chill i promise #just reworking some things now that i have time to actually think #i'm free for the summer!!!! yippee!!! no more college for warrior (for the next three months anyway)#but yeah anyway if there's anything you want to see lmk and i'll see what i can do #unless it involves tim in which case it's getting dismissed immediately but aside from that anything's fair game #i love audience participation 🥰#also for the sake of transparency #my goal is to finish chapters 11-15 by the time school starts again #however i am also trying to have at minimum the first three chapters of boats against the current done by october #this is because batc is my batfam big bang fic as well as part 2 of currentverse #so i have like eight chapters to write over the summer #that is the goal. i make no promises and you should know better by now than to expect them #but yeah i want to be half done with gysr by its anniversary which is august 23 #that's the goal

IT'S STILL SATURDAY FOR ME IT TOTALLY COUNTS!!! Anyway here's Grinning Yellows, Spinning Reds chapter 10, hope it's worth the wait :3

Highlights include:

The Titans!!!

The meaning of Robin!!!

Wonder Girl being Jason's favorite hero!!!

I forced an entire college class to read this and that's why it's 8k words now 🙃 enjoy!!!

#warrior's thoughts #jason lives au #currentverse updates #jason todd #dick grayson #new teen titans #i'm not kidding it's like 8.6k words #i'm sorry #or you're welcome #pick your poison on that one #it's barely 6:30pm but i think i need to sleep for a week

hey. hey. wait. when did this happen??? GYSR hit 2000 hits and I didn't notice?? Since when??

In all sincerity, if you've contributed to this number, or any of the numbers here, thank you so much. This project means the world to me and it's sometimes hard to keep track of how much other people like it, but this is the kind of thing I can't ignore. Thank you all so much 💜💜

#warrior's thoughts #currentverse updates #2.1k. my fanfic has been clicked on 2.1k times. what the actual heck #this is absolutely surreal #i try to reply to all comments so those 60 comments are more like 30 individual instances of someone telling me they liked it #and don't get me started on the word count. it scares me #that's a number driven solely by me but it's frightening

btw it's been nine months of gysr already. the one-year anniversary is in august. I know the passage of time is A Thing but what the heck

#warrior's thoughts #jason lives au #currentverse updates #i'll get sappy and emotional about it closer to the actual date but just for now #thank you so much to everyone who has read and supported grinning yellows spinning reds #and to those who have been engaged in my plans and schemes here on tumblr #it means the world to me that this project has grown bigger than me

I gotta finish Grinning Yellows, Spinning Reds asap, because Boats Against the Current is what the dc ao3 ecosystem really needs. GYSR is fun but it is a mere prologue to what i'm actually cooking, I promise <3

#warrior's thoughts #currentverse updates #“it's a prologue” she says about her thirty chapter monstrosity of a fic that will probably end up around 150k when it's done #but yeah what the people (jason todd fans) crave is actually the eventual second fic in the series #(it's me i'm jason todd fans)#anyway in case you were wondering why the universe is nicknamed currentverse it's because of this second fic #which isn't posted yet btw don't get your hopes up too much #but yeah. boats against the current <3 #in the meantime though enjoy the canon compliant jaybin he's a delight <3

Thanks to finals, I can 100% promise that the next GYSR chapter will be out by Saturday. Something to tide you over:

---

“Nothing much,” Jason said, looking back at where the taxi had passed. “Do you always jaywalk in front of taxis?”

“There was a crosswalk, wasn’t there? It’s not jaywalking if you’re on the crosswalk.”

“That’s not-” Jason huffed. “The light had like ten seconds left on it.”

“Ten seconds we could be spending in my nice warm apartment with Kory and a triple cheese pizza,” Dick countered.

Jason considered that. “Touché.”

---

“That’s lovely,” Donna said with a genuine smile. “Are you going to any museums while you’re here in the city?”

“We were going to,” Dick cut in, “but it’s closed for repairs.”

“Oh, that’s disappointing,” Donna said. “Was it…?”

“Yep,” Dick said, knocking back the last of his iced coffee like a shot. “Damaged in the attack.”

“Aww, seriously?” Jason huffed, leaning back in his chair and suppressing a wince as his chest twinged with the movement. “Stupid demons.”

five days 👍

#warrior's thoughts #warrior writes #currentverse updates #yes this chapter is part of my creative writing final #this is because i am both a genius and incredibly stupid #but this is pretty much the only betaed chapter in the fic so you're welcome i guess?#a whole class of college students took a look at this and told me how to fix it #anyway i'm about halfway done with the chapter #and i need to actually write my midterm essay for philosophy so i can get an incomplete for the class #and then i'm basically done with this quarter 🎉#but yeah for once you can trust my promises because i'll fail my favorite class if this isn't posted by saturday #and that's not happening

I have a little under 600 words drafted on Boats Against the Current 🎉

#warrior's thoughts #currentverse updates #no i am not abandoning gysr #however i will be splitting my time a bit #batc was always meant to be able to stand alone so i'm making it my big bang fic #gysr is ultimately a glorified prequel #it's awesome and i love it but technically it's not pivotal to the rest of the series #my goal is to get to chapter 15 on it by the time i start posting batc though #anyway with all that out of the way let's lock in on gysr ch 10 because i need that done for finals 💀
