for your twelve prompts of christmas!! 💖 brujayclark, stocking, "Is this collar meant to be a gift for you or me?"
Merry Christmas kuro!! Hope you have very happy holidays, and thank you for the prompt 💙
Jason tucks his feet up on the sofa, shifting some of his unwrapped presents aside as he cosies in. He's grinning from ear to ear, the sight infectious in the Christmas morning light.
"Your turn," he says as Clark pulls his stocking from the mantle. It's not bulging quite as much as Jason's was, but Clark isn't one to complain. He always was one for more minimalist living in his shoebox of an apartment. "And no peeking."
As if it were possible. His lovers are sticklers for secrecy, and their gift-giving doesn't stray from their meticulous ethos. All of Clark's presents are wrapped in lead-lined paper that even his x-ray vision can't penetrate.
He'll never admit it, but their dedication to maintaining the surprise is charming.

In my darkness I search for you
Breeze comes in through the window that had been closed.
Breeze comes in, makes the curtains flutter, and Jason doesn't look up from where Dami's head is nestled in his arms, face pressed to his chest. He doesn't look up as he strokes the thin hairs on the back of the head, as he smiles down at the expression of pure concentration Damian has while staying latched onto his nipple.
Jason doesn't look up and he doesn't need to, because he knows who is standing in front of him, tense and agitated and—he wonders what kind of thoughts are plaguing that head. What kind of picture does he paint, and how is it being interpreted?
Damian's tiny hands flex on Jason's chest and it makes him laugh.
He also thinks he can hear a single broken sob coming from the pillar of kevlar, weapons and living, breathing anguish.
-
When he goes back to the manor, he's carrying a small travel bag with diapers, a few onesies, towels, and Damian's favorite toys. It's clear he's not here for a prolonged stay. He also doesn't come back to the family house through the cave in the middle of the night, like a ghost from days past that descends upon everyone present like a curse. Instead, he walks up the steps to the front door and bounces his baby in his arms. And he waits.
Not for long, though. Because there it is Alfred, looking like he always does and if Jason notices new wrinkles, he doesn't say a thing. He smiles, a small, shy thing, and shifts Damian to just one arm, propping him up on his side.
"Hey there, Alfie," Jason says. If there's a pang of nostalgia clanging in between his ribs, he stays quiet about it.
Alfred's eyes are wide open. This is the most caught he's ever looked.
"Master Jason," he gasps, hand shaking around the doorknob. The lack of steadiness becomes even more obvious when the older man's eyes drift until they are focused on the baby.
Jason understands the surprise. But also, it's getting cold and Damian is still getting better from that trip to—
"I apologize," Alfred quickly recomposes himself, stands to the side as he opens the door as far as it goes, "please, master Jason, please come in."
He smiles and steps inside. Familiarity rushes through him. The house seems stuck in time, as always, and he… he's changed so much.
-
Bruce can't stop looking at him. The man is pale and silent and he looks at Jason and his baby like they are both going to vanish the minute he blinks. Jason doesn't reassure him that this isn't a half-crazed delusion, this isn't a vision, he's here, he's real. No, he makes no attempt at comforting him. Jason knows more than well it would fall upon stubborn ears.
Alfred is the one sitting by his side and smiling as he watches with an avid eye while Damian plays in his baby chair. Well, not his, but the one that's never left the manor, much like everything else that ever entered here. Still sturdy as ever, and Jason sits next to his child and he kisses the soft hairs.
Sometimes he can't believe this is his reality.
"How," Bruce finally asks.
Even with the fireplace lit up, the room drops to sub-zero temperatures.
"I think you're well acquainted with how babies are made, B."
That's not it, though. The three adults present know.
"How did you come back?"
At least they are talking, Jason thinks, and Bruce has yet to force him into completing one medical scan after the other. It's only a matter of time for that, though. Everyone is well aware.
-
At the end of the day, well into the night, he's sitting by the small table in the kitchen, Damian dozing off in his arms, waiting for the kettle to start whistling. It's late, now. Late enough for Batman to be expected to be seen prowling the city, and yet the man under the cape is here, by Jason's side. Closer, so much closer than before.
"He looks like Talia," Bruce says and the air he exhales as he speaks brushes Jason's cheek.
"I know," with a rogue smile, he turns towards the other, shifts his hold so his intentions are clear. "Do you want to hold him?"
In typical Bruce fashion, the answer he gets is: "Stay."
And there are so many things left to be said. So many silenced truths waiting round the corner for their best moment to strike. Speeches Jason has rehearsed, over and over, in front of a mirror—fueled by fear and pain and anger and… and grief. Things he's thought about in the middle of training around the world with Talia's guidance.
Things that moved to the very back of his priorities when he discovered that he was—
And so he resigns himself to be, for once, the bigger person.
"I'll stay for the night."
-
Talia's a beauty that escapes definition, elegantly sprawled on the couch, and Jason feels warmth when he sees her the moment he crosses the door. It's as much his instincts telling him that's my alpha as it is him loving her beyond all that. There's a soft noise forming deep within his chest that has Damian reacting as well, and she laughs with such a wonderful melody.
"We missed you," he says as Damian tries to reach out, both arms extended towards her.
"I'm happy to see you doing much better," Talia stands and picks the baby in her arms. He belongs there as much as he belongs in Jason's hold. "I apologize I couldn't help when you needed me."
"Nonsense," Jason huffs a little, his cheeks getting warm, "you help us all the time. We wouldn't—"
She shushes him with a soft kiss on his lips. It makes Jason's blush grow darker, stirs up half asleep needs and wants and…
He exhales shakily, slumping against the nearest wall and letting the bag fall to the floor. Talia's eyes shine with a new light, one he's seen quite a few times before. They both know what this means.
"I shouldn't," he swallows, runs his hand over his forehead to push his hair out of his face, "I shouldn't go through one so soon, right?"
"You've been with him," her words are not reprimanding. They never are, when she gets it so well, "you've been around him more and more, lately. There are even rumors going around in high society circles. Gossip."
"But," looking at her face, taking in her expression, he shakes again, bites his fist because he needs a distraction. It's not happening just yet, but it's coming. The one thing he did not miss at all. "That… that couldn't be it…"
Talia smiles. She steps closer to him so she can kiss him again. "You've always loved him, dearest."
Jason's knees get a little weaker. He tries not to cry.
"I love you," he says. Desperation adds weight to his voice.
"I know you do," cradling Damian in her arms, she brushes his cheek with her lips, feels his exhale close to her ear, "and I love you, too, dearest."
What Talia doesn't have to say out loud, because he gets it, is: worry not. I'll find a solution.
-
The ridiculous thought of he's too big for this room keeps repeating itself, like a blinking neon billboard, inside Jason's head. Over and over, till words lose meaning and—
His breath hitches high in his throat and Bruce, god, Bruce Bruce Bruce, he gives him a twitch of his lips that passes for reassurance, an almost smile that Jason used to live for. He's different now, he's grown, he's, he… Talia is right, and Jason looks for her, sees her sitting by the edge of the bed, right next to him. He feels exposed, vulnerable in ways he hates, but he's safe. He's the safest he can be, here, with them paying attention to him.
"Jason," Bruce's voice is soft yet commanding and their eyes meet again. "I can leave if you—"
"No," he says too quickly, reaching out, sitting up on the bed so he can hold onto the other's clothes, "no, don't."
"Beloved," Talia scolds Bruce from behind Jason's shoulders. She's the one pushing him back down onto the mattress, the one massaging away the lines of tension taking over. "Don't tease him like this. Surely you know he's been waiting for you all this time."
Forced into view, being made to be seen, Jason gulps, closes his eyes so he doesn't get to see whatever expression is forming on Bruce's face. He's. He's embarrassed but there is warmth simmering low and insistent in his gut, warmth that gets stronger the more he's made to wait. All the scents, the smell of alpha, they are all making him dizzy, making him want. And he's achingly empty. Why aren't they…?
"I'm sorry, Jason," Bruce whispers and Jason gasps, there's the dip in the mattress, the line of heat of a body broad and big like his own laying on top of him.
Then, then there are the touches. The softest drag of fingertips over his cheek, the line of his jaw, the dip of his collarbones.
"I didn't mean to make you wait so long."
When he blinks and looks at them, at Talia, at Bruce, he's both lost and found. He needs. Legs falling open in the most natural of invitations, he bares his neck, presents himself, shivers and swallows back breathless gasps that betray just how much he craves. Like this, in the cradle of their embrace, like this Jason doesn't have to think of his fears, his anger, the wounds that never heal.
With Bruce on top of him, shedding their clothes, with Talia's fingers in his hair, with all this thorough attention, Jason doesn't have to think about all that he's lost or given up.
Like this, for this moment, he can pretend.
-
In the peak of winter, bundled up in worn out sweaters, cheeks red and an easy smile on his face, Jason sits on a cushion on the floor, watching as Damian plays next to him. He's giggling, babbling, round and soft and so happy, it's like there are actual stars in his eyes. The two of them paint the most incredible and magical of pictures. An allegory of second chances and new beginnings, of love, of dedication. Of loyalty.
Talia stands by the door, she's always looking, always from a certain distance, like someone who's always protecting. And there is much to protect, here. Much to keep safe.
Bruce stops by her side and his eyes follow the line of her sight. The smile that he gives, it's the most natural smile he's shown in years.
"You saved him," Bruce speaks barely above a whisper.
"Beloved," Talia sighs, leans into his side like all three of them are indeed normal people, like this arrangement won't bring problems, like they get to have a chance at a normal life, "I didn't do anything. He actually saved all three of us."

3 Ships: beckets (or beck3ts which tbf I made up but w/e), sciam, and... oh god I have too many ships from recent shows. Catradora? I was just talking to my sister about it the other day so it’s on my mind.
Currently Watching: the now-Amazon-Prime Expanse series. Love those books. The new season is pretty good although they’ve definitely taken some liberties.
Currently reading: Oh god. Uh. A boatload of different fics (I have too many tabs open...), the second book in this really wacky queer high-fantasy series (the first book was called Red Heir, this second one is called Elf Defense, very silly and a decent read and absolutely worth the kindle price), and also rereading the entire Foundation series by Asimov (1: because I love it because I’m a nerd, and 2: in preparation for the show coming out on Apple+ some time this year)
How’s it going? IT GOES. This is a very interesting time to be working in public education. <_<;; But hey I signed up for a fic fest to try to get my writing muscles back, so we’ll see how that goes! Hopefully well! I got the prompts I wanted so...yay! Also I just finished another chapter of a WIP but I have 3 more to go (2 are very very short) and I’m going to finish them ALL before posting... but... PROGRESS!
Tagging: idk whoever wants to do it. I’ve been semi-retired on tumblr long enough I only know like 4 people on here now lmao.
Tagged by the lovely @setsailslash to share 5 things that make me happy.
Bold of you to assume I can be happy.
Actually being able to write and share my random ideas! And not getting flamed for them, too!
Fandom squee/sharing excitement, especially with the bffs. It’s so rare our interests align, so I enjoy it all the more when they do.
Interactions with you kind and amazing folks, be it via comments, replies, tags, asks, pings or the like. It just makes me fell less invisible.
Puns and language stuff 😊
Kess and @lullaby-dance calling me spoom 🙈
Tagging @neurotoxia @divinesquishes @lullaby-dance @girlsarewolves @boyblunder-thedarkheir and everyone else who’s reading this! Please link me to you lists if you’ve already done this :D
Post the first line of your last 10 published fics, then tag 10 people.
Oh, dear. @setsailslash, I haven’t that many published fics. I’ve become so self-aware XD I do have many WIPs, though, so I’m gonna count the ones I’ve almost finished so I can meet the quota XD Most recent first, I guess…?
1. Lucy’s shift at Uzumaki ended. (BSD: Atsulucy)
2. Lucy’s heart beat altered in distress from the moment she was called to the director’s office, but that was nothing compared to the way it ran now —a lump in her throat, about to break her ribs out of sheer excitement—, as she put as little she owned inside an old remnant of brown sack as if her life depended on it (a rag, thread and needles, an old thimble, a pin cushion she made herself with an older, filthier rag, a dress she was about to turn into even more rags to clean the windows with or dry her hands on, and a dry red rose she managed to sneak one day the gardener pruned the rose bushes); and, then, when she ran at full speed, away from the orphanage’s building. (BSD: On Lucy)
3. All good sense hid in the deepest corner of his mind. (A f-friend’s long lost original story, Soulshifter: AiAlli)
4. That question made its home in his heart from the moment he caught Dylan staring at him, lost in thought. (Soulshifter: Morri&Dy)
5. Allistair read Asimov for the umpteenth time. (Soulshifter: No pairing, unless you squint really hard)
6. “I never thought I’d need this”. (Soulshifter: Morri&Dy)
7. “Why are you here this late at night?” (Soulshifter: Morri&Dy)
8. It was amazing, knowing that creature had him in the palm of his hand to do whatever he pleased. (Soulshifter: AiKev)
And these, which aren’t published yet:
9. When Lucy finally told him what he meant to her, it was rather unexpected, mostly for her. (BSD: Atsulucy)
10. Kevin was bewildered after such a confession. (Soulshifter: On Kevin)
First lines sure are tough as f*ck. All these are in Spanish (the first one has a published translation in English, though), but I’m not linking to any of the published ones because of that.
tagging: Uuuuh… @scorpiussmalfoyy, @melisa-mistick, @hogwarts-221b, and anyone who’d be willing to share. If you do, though, do tag me :)
