Happy late mother’s day to the guy that brothered so hard he mothered

Honestly, I love the idea of Simon never wearing his mask outside of missions.

Maybe on base he wears a surgical mask, or a black, full face balaclava but anywhere else???

That mug is out and about and he's not afraid to show it.

Why would he? The scars keep most sane people away. They tell a story of his life, his survival, and the ability to keep going when anyone else wouldn't. For others, its a beacon to either fight him or fuck him, sometimes both.

That can get irritating but he's been through worse.

You never see it. Don't even know that he hides his face during missions—that he even goes on missions. Why he's so stingy on no photos, no social media, no videos, but you love Simon, so you don't argue. Not worth it.

But life has a way. Wrong time. Wrong place. Your boss made the wrong people upset and ditched and you are trapped in an office building with your coworkers who are sobbing and terrified. The nice security guard who was days away from retirement bleeding out on the floor, your hands covered in his blood as you try and fail to apply pressure and men with strange uniforms and guns are screaming at you to unlock the computer and get them in the system.

There's chaos. There's shots. There's more blood and the military makes an entrance that can only be described in movie-like terms.

It's not real life.

It's certainly not real life when a big guy in a skull mask, completely covered, but moves in such a familiar form that it leaves you reeling.

And when you two finally make eye contact?

It's not you who is crying first.

Hello occa!!

This isn't the no pack au and you can ignore this if you want but can we please have a self deprecating dad Bruce??

Any au is fine 👉👈

How about the actual fic? Cause I've stared at this ask for days and forgotten how to write seemingly so I'm sorry cause I don't think this is what you wanted, send me another ask if so.

"I don't know if I can come out the other side of this without them hating me, Alfred."

"Then you should have more faith in your pups, Master Bruce." He scrubs his hands over his face, before finally looking up to meet his eyes. 

"That's the thing, isn't it? They're not mine."

--

"I don't think he's coming back," Bruce whispers. Alfred makes a sad noise and wraps another blanket around Bruce's shoulders where he's curled up in his bed, head resting on the older beta's thigh. "I drove my pup away..."

--

"My son had just come back after I spent years thinking he was dead. Yes, Mr Gale, I wanted to scent him. However, exactly like when he first came into my care, I put his needs above mine. He needed me to support him, not to force my instincts onto him. So that is what I did."

--

He hadn't wanted Tim to be Robin, he never wanted another Robin, but this strong, adorable, smart pup had forced his way into the role, then into Bruce's heart too. Apparently it's one-sided. Again.

--

"It's not your fault, any of you," Mother insists, frantic. "You were just telling me what I needed to know, and it's fine. I started wearing the scent blockers and everything got better."

Kent gasps, eyes wide and watery as he floats closer to Mother. "This isn't 'fine,' Bruce."

"Yes it is. There was a problem, I was a problem, I fixed it. Everything's fine."

--

"Why don't— Why am I so bad for them? I love them, I love them, I love them so much. I promise I do."

"I know, Master Bruce."

"Then why—" He moans, raw and emotional, and Alfred shushes him, pulling him impossibly closer. "Why isn't it enough?"

--

"It's a ninety-two percent chance that they get taken from me. Do you expect me to ignore that? When international news are covering the story, demanding I be convicted for six counts of child abuse, putting pressure on CPS to convict me?"

"And I told you that the children—"

"What they want doesn't matter! Their testimonies only go so far! And I know you reviewed the footage from the Watchtower. You know they're furious at me, I can't imagine that means they're in a hurry to be returned to my custody!"

HII!! so sorry if this is a silly question ^^; I love the game so far, and I haven't been able to get Keyframes out of my mind ever since I started playing lol. As someone who's concerningly in love with Percy, could we know more about what he was drawing on the chalkboard in the cafeteria? I'm curious to know if there's any meaning behind it—especially with Elio correcting him about it :P

Haha since Percy’s full name is Perseus, he has a small habit of doodling the Perseus constellation ever since Elio taught him how it looks. He doesn’t do it a lot since he gets the placements wrong sometimes but it still lives in the back of his mind.
