Hey guys! Sorry for the delay, but the audiobook format of Terrifier: Art of the Killing Joke will start posting on TikTok tomorrow!

I've been super busy with chickens this week. My husband and I recently finished—who am I kidding, we still have a bit more work to do—the new chicken fortress to keep my girls safe from predators... especially bears.

On top of that, we added a few new chicks to the flock! We now have more Cream Legbars, French Copper Marans, and a new mix called a Crypt Walker.

We also successfully hatched our own chicks for the first time, so please congratulate my rooster, Parm—he's officially a proud papa to four adorable babies that I'm absolutely obsessed with. So far, we've named one Lucky (as in "lucky to be alive," but that's a story for another time) and Mini Parm. That kid's tough as nails.

So understandably, I've been busy getting these babies settled, fretting over incubation, and making sure the coop is secure.

Anyway, I'm finally getting back on track with my fanfiction projects, including this audiobook format, which I'm hoping will make the story more accessible for people who don't always have the time or energy to sit down and read.

This whole TikTok endeavor is still super new to me, and learning how to navigate it has definitely been an experience, to say the least.

I've added some chick pics for those of you who love chickens. If you want more chicken updates, feel free to DM me for a link to my "ChickTok". Otherwise, you can follow my fanfic account for teasers, fan edits, and audiobook updates!

The Fledgling by shewhowillnotbenamed1

Raven is cleansed of Trigon at last. While Damian fears for her safety, a small part of him fears her. Just who is this stranger who wants to disrupt routine to try something new? Does she still want the same things? After all the avoidance, it's finally time to contend with change, and the end of an emotional drought. This is 1 of 2 pieces I completed for the 2020 DamiRae Fanzine.

This piece actually began as a response to a prompt taken past the point of no return. Which I am often want to do. I couldn't stop writing it until it became this. This answer was the alternate path I ended up posting. There is something about the vagueness of those prompts that I enjoy; it really opens up several possibilities at once.

Prompt List

2026 DamiRae Fanzine

fluff damirae.

Raven gently covers Damian with a blanket when he's taking a rare nap.

He stirs, and she stops, wondering if she's woken him, but he rests his head on her lap and begins to breathe softly in his sleep.

After gently covering him with the blanket, Raven strokes his slightly sticking-up bangs while still in the same position.

Just a random thought?

You know what’s really cool about the League of Assassins and The Al Ghuls…they are Pro Woman’s choice.

I mean…After testing Batman in multiple missions, not just because Al Ghul is looking for a new Heir for the League of Assassins.

But worthy of marrying his daughter!!!

Also it’s the woman’s choice. It was Talia’s choice to be with Bruce. I mean it sucks that Bruce didn’t have a say in it.

And it got me thinking…it would be interesting if that is the same case to this day!!!

Ra’s and Talia informed Damian it is time to find a wife, someone powerful and worthy to be in The Al Ghul Family.

And reminded him that it was the woman’s choice. So he got to win her over!

Damian has to be smart with the search. He looked around, looking at the pros and cons of each candidate.

(Just want to make it clear, it is modern day)

Royal families from other countries 

Affluent families (ones with real power and beneficial resources)

Scholars

Villains and Heroes 

So yeah Damian really did his research…until finally he found Raven, a powerful sorceress!!! 

I wonder how he would approach this? In my personal head cannon, I feel like Raven would mostly focus on magical threats. So she doesn’t really do physical threats unless she’s in a team. Also, what kind of “test” would the Al Ghuls set up for her? Also, I don’t want Damian only picking her because what he thinks would benefit the Al Ghul family. He picks her because he is in love with her.

TERRIFIER: ART OF THE KILLING JOKE 👈

Great stories are built on rivalries.

Not just between people—but between ways of understanding the world.

Meaning against force.

Order against rupture.

Control against the slow inevitability of entropy.

Damian Wayne was trained to impose order on chaos.

But sometimes the world produces something worse than chaos.

Something that refuses meaning altogether.

Damian didn’t inherit the Joker.

He inherited Art the Clown.

And this time, the joke isn’t the point

Gotham: a city where reason and insanity shared the same sidewalks—split just enough to trip the careless. Joker always loved that. Gotham was his city as much as it was the Bat’s. Gotham didn’t hide its rot.

It wore it like stage makeup—garish, imposing, impossible to ignore.

Unless the Bat showed up, of course—and his little brats too.

Lucky them, Joker thought, a dull, irritated irony settling in as he stared at his latest muse.

He checked his watch. The carved-up face of a policeman’s daughter stared back at him—eyes void, fixed on something beyond him. Something empty.

Normally, the sight would have brought a smile to his face. But tonight, the spark wasn’t there. The joke refused to land.

It had all grown so mundane.

He remembered when the city had a rhythm—an off-beat drum only madmen could hear. A time when sirens didn’t interrupt the night—

they harmonized with it.

Gotham still had that pulse—

that hell-born heartbeat—

where everything that could go wrong inevitably would, and your life was nothing more than a punchline scrawled in blood.

Most days felt like a joke no one else understood: heroes scrambling for meaning, villains scrambling for a bit of fun—

usually at your expense.

Joker always loved that part.

The futility.

The comedy.

The audience participation.

“I’d kill to feel that zest again,” he cooed, sighing his frustrations up at the moon like it might sigh back. “Looks like I’ll just have to settle for the incontinence factor." He made sure to leave as much of a mess as humanly possible—call it muscle memory.

But something deeper gnawed at him, a kind of artistic block he refused to name. Stories of a killer clown—some painted nobody out of Miles County calling himself Art.

“Of course his name is Art,” Joker grumbled upon first hearing of this new Clown.

“Another jester. How original,” Joker scoffed dismissively as he flipped through the headline and its lovingly photographed gore.

At first he was impressed—flattered, even.

But as the clown continued to terrorize, maim, and reduce his victims to little more than a puddle of pink slurry, Joker found himself… wondering. Not about the horror—no, he adored horror. But about the intent.

What drove this thing?

How to make this a DamiRae!!!

Ooo!!! Potential AU!!! What’s their story?!?!

[djbunnie]

Omg!!! New Character!!!

So it has come to my attention that Bruce is getting a new Butler!!! I wonder what she is like???

She looks like the sassy type and would happily mess with the BatFam!!! But is very doting for Raven lol (because Rae is nice)

~~~

Talia: “What do I have to do to get some milk for my coffee?”

Miss Pennyworth: “Hover over a bucket.”

~~~

Miss Pennyworth: “And what would you like to eat for dinner?”

Bruce: “no need, I have a standing invitation with a certain senator.”

Miss Pennyworth: “hmm, what some politicians won’t do for a vote” 😏

~~~

Jason: (trying to get some gossip on Damian to blackmail him) “Come on, you wouldn’t leave me hanging!”

Miss Pennyworth: “No we’d cut you down in a week or two.”

~~~

Dick: (on the phone) “God, I have to move out of my apartment. To get the floors redone and I cannot find a Kennel.”

Miss Pennyworth: “Oh treat yourself to a hotel.”

~~~

Tim: “Miss Pennyworth, would you keep an eye on my bags.”

Miss Pennyworth: “Alright!” (Looks at Tim’s eye bags)

Tim notices

Miss Pennyworth: “Just tell me when to stop.”

Damian smirking in the background 

~~~

😂😂😂 she won’t hold back!!! I mean can you guys imagine working with the Wayne’s!!! 😂😂😂

I can imagine how Miss Pennyworth and Raven meet for the first time!!!

Damian is inviting girl over for the first time and he is freaking out!!! He wants everything to be perfect.

Miss Pennyworth in her snarky way of reassuring him that everything is going to be okay. Though she isn’t looking forward to this, believe Damian has the same taste as Bruce the “playboy.”

Miss Pennyworth is expecting some Pretty girl from an affluent family. If that is the case…should she be surprise? Though if she is being honest with herself, unlike his father. Young Master Damian doesn’t have Master Bruce playboy character. It makes more sense if Damian is being with a girl if it benefits the Wayne Business and social status.

~~~

Meanwhile Raven is freaking out!!! She is visiting Damian place. Please understand she isn’t visiting a regular friend’s house.

She’s visiting a billionaire friend at his million dollar mansion!!!

What should she wear? What should she bring? The last thing she wants is to make a fool out of herself!!!

~~~

Miss Pennyworth was pleasantly surprised to see Raven!

Raven was such a polite girl, she even brought a gift! 🎁 Lol, I can just see Raven giving Miss Pennyworth an enchanted orb that controls cleaning products, allowing the house to clean itself without Miss Pennyworth having to lift a finger.

Miss Pennyworth definitely approves!
