I've seen JaySteph. But where's the JayDuke? The DukeSteph? The JayDukeSteph? Give me the Narrows/Alley kids finding each other in the chaos of being thrown into the world of rich people and growing closer as a result.

I just really like the idea of Duke and Steph. Like she still finds it difficult to be around Bruce, sometimes. And even around the rest of the bats. But she ALWAYS feels good being with Duke. Honestly works platonically too

Yeah no worries! I'm not against the ship at all, I just do not have enough information to muse about it in a meaningful way. I could go with a fanon Duke but that seems disingenuous to how I interact with characters on my blog (I also think he's very boring in fanon tbh). I have been planning on looking into Duke more, so maybe I'll have more thoughts later

Duke deserves more kisses

Yes he does.

He deserves kisses when he and Tim do those couple's push ups. With each one a nice little peck on the lips. He deserves kisses when he walks Damian to school and gets a kiss on the cheek in gratitude. He deserves a kiss on the temple from Dick when he brings over his favorite pizza for family game night. He deserves a kiss on the shoulder from Jason for just being in his life. He deserves a kiss on the nose from Stephanie because she thought he looked cute. He deserves a kiss on his hands from Cass because she's glad to call him a friend.

And finally he deserves a kiss on the forehead from Bruce because the old man is trying to show how much he appreciates Duke.

Ok so can we all (or most of us at least) agree that everyone has a crush on Dick Grayson. Like almost literally everyone.

Well it seems the same for Stephanie what with Damien’s crush and all the ships (i.e. JaySteph, CasSteph, TimSteph, and Kara and Harper and...you get the point.)

Well what if one day Dick is in Shorts not his booty shorts but like these

And he’s shirtless. So shorts^ and shoes and like nothing else (maybe a watch.)

And she’s in something like

And they’re both sweaty but they’ve decided to spar which I personally think with no weapons they could go for awhile(that sounds sexual...maybe it is.)

Que everyone walking in.

First Jason who grew up with a crush on Dick and the girl he saved that one time from clu*master. (Slur) Then he came back and was all Dick is still hot. Also (with the info that this chick grew into to Robin and now Batgirl) she got hotter! So he drools while they fight.

Then Tim who Steph and him couldn’t work but he still likes her and wants to try again. And Dick the ever gorgeous, ever kind.

Then Damien who is like a 13 year old boy around the ‘hottest people in existence club’ so obviously he develops crush on the two nicest, most accepting members.

Then you know Cass, Harper, Duke, and the others (Bruce has so many kids just imagine who ever you want) all have the same reactions because The Nicest, Hotest, and Strongest people they know in one place hot and sweaty and grunting.

Of course Dick and Steph notice their audience they also notice the drool practically falling and the faces of people imagining themselves in a threesome with the two on the mat.

So they put on a show. They Punch they moan and grunt and not one of the ‘greatest detectives’. Even close to notices so they continue until Dick goes to show-off and Steph slams him down(which is the hottest thing any of them have ever seen.)

She straddles over him and give some sort of catchphrase i.e. “Spoiler alert you lose again.” “It isn’t a spoiler if I already know, babe.” Dick adds the pet name on because after all the audience aren’t the only ones vying over the purple clad warrior (“It’s eggplant Dick!”)

So the performers turn to their audience(who are praying that B’s training for emotion coverage has payed off in someway) and ask if anyone wants lunch after they shower.

“Sure”s and “Yeah”s pour out after a moment of that mental image.

Steph and Dick both ask ‘innocently’ why everyone else needs showers too? “And why do they need to be cold Jay.” Asked by both at the same time as they left ear shot.

Damisteph opinion? Dukesteph?

Damisteph is one of my favorite ships, because I love Damian and Steph. And Steph could dom that boy. (If we reverse ages we can do a lot with her unexplored mentor kink)

Dukesteph is... little to none. Nothing against it at all, I just... don't think about it. I don't actually know much about Duke, and most of the fans of the Batman fandom seem to ignore him. (I'd try to actively engage with media about him but fanfiction shoves him in to the normal guy which isn't right, I know that much about him. And I don't know what comics id start with). This was the same problem i had with Cass, and led to me mischaracterizing Cass for years. I still do it at times, I have to actively characterize her correctly because of the prevalence of mischaracterization. (This is also why I dont Cass post much)

Anyway, this turned into something you didn't even remotely ask for, sorry.

And what about, like, Jason or Dami? Or Duke? (I've read the thing of course I don't expect an essay)

Jason: Jason is one of the guys who is actually fairly normal about it. However, the rest of his family is not and he's kind of likely to just... leave her there tbh. Jaysteph is a casual hookup to me, so he's not signing up to save her from his weird family. He will of course, be a very good dad, but they're not dating.

Damian & Duke: I'll be honest, I don't have many thoughts about either of them, for different reasons. Duke I just don't think much about him. He'd probably be weird. Damian i don't see as getting her pregnant because she pegs him.
