Sometimes I come across something in my writing that makes me laugh so loud I suspect my neighbours think I’m crazy.

Castiel rolls his eyes. “I can cook other things.”

Crossing his arms over his chest and looking Castiel dead in the eye Inias smirks. “Name one.”

Castiel opens his mouth then pauses. He raises a hand and holds up his index finger and then pauses again. “Toast?” He finally asks, uncertainty dripping from the single word.

Summary: Jason's favourite time of year is coming up: when the Wayne's flood one of their pastures to make a giant skating rink for the community. Not only is he looking forward to getting to skate again he's looking forward to maybe spending some quality time with the Wayne's oldest boy, Richard. The only thing standing in his way his is own damn mouth.

=====

November was Jason’s favourite time of year. Sure it meant that the days were becoming short and the long bus ride in to town became cold and miserable. But it also meant that soon the Wayne’s would flood one of their pastures and make a giant outdoor skating rink for everyone to enjoy.

And the absolute best part of spending time at the Wayne pasture was getting to spend more time with the Wayne boys. Richard was probably Jason’s favourite out of them but he was 2 years older and mostly hung out with his older friends. Which left Jason to spend time with his younger brother Timothy. Timothy was great, really but Jason had always felt a certain pull towards the older boy.

It was the end of the second week of November when Richard bounded on to the bus, cheeks rosy and yelled “Tomorrow night! The rink will be open tomorrow night! And we’ll have a hockey game on Saturday.”

Everyone cheered and clapped Richard on the shoulder as he passed by them to get to his seat at the back next to Wally and Donna.

Timothy slid onto the bench next to Jason, pushing him into the cold window.

“Geeze! That’s cold!” Jason yelled and playfully shoved Timothy back so he nearly fell into the aisle.

“Sorry. I just got excited. Do you think they’ll let us play on their team this year?” Timothy beamed at Jason.

Shrugging Jason shoved one of his notebooks up against the window so that it wouldn’t be so cold on his shoulder. “Maybe, Roy and Garth did graduate last year so they’ll need 2 new people.” He glanced to the back of the bus to see Richard listening raptly to Wally, a giant smile splitting his face.

“Hey,” Timothy punched Jason lightly on the shoulder to get his attention. He leaned in and whispered into Jason’s ear. “Look, you’re running out of time, you just gotta ask him.”

This time Jason tried to push Timothy off the bench. “Not here.” He glared at his friend.

Timothy muttered something under his breath that sounded a lot like “hopeless” but he didn’t push the issue. Jason was thankful but it still sort of made his stomach churn because Timothy was right. There was no way a guy like Richard wasn’t going to find a nice girl. And even if he didn’t he was graduating in the spring and probably going off to some fancy college. Jason’s days really were numbered.

When Saturday finally came around Jason could hardly contain his excitement. He’d saved up every penny he could and bought new skates. Well not new new ones, not like the Wayne’s. But they were real nice for a poor kid like him. When he’d stepped on to the ice for the first time on them he’d almost felt like he was flying. Though his grace still paled in comparison to Richard Grayson-Wayne. God he was gorgeous in his bright blue jacket and yellow scarf. Flying around the rink like it was effortless. Jason thinks sometimes that if Richard wasn’t stuck in some rinky dink small town like this he would’ve gone on to be a great skater in the Olympics or something.

“Earth to Jason.” A hand waved in front of his face and Jason nearly stumbled.

“Jeeze what is it with you and sneaking up on me.” Jason groused.

Timothy just rolled his eyes. “Come on, they’re picking the teams.”

The two hurried over to the small huddle of teens near one end of the ice.

“Oh there you are.” Richard gave them both a warm smile. I was just saying that since Roy and Garth aren’t here that Kori and Kate were going to take their places on my team.”

“What?” It came out louder and angrier than Jason intended.

Richard’s eyes narrowed. “Do you have a problem with this?”

“Yah, I do.” Jason spat the words out as he skated closer to Richard. “Look me and Tim have been waiting years to play with you. And you go and pick them? Can Kori even skate?”

“Yes she can.” Dick spat back into Jason’s face. “I was considering choosing you instead of Kate but I guess that was a good thing I didn’t. Considering how much of a dick you’re being right now.”

“You’re the dick, Dick.” And then to Jason’s utter horror he pushed Richard.

The look of surprise on Richard’s face as he fell back onto his ass would have been comical in almost any other situation.

Wally was the first to react. He reached out for Jason, about to say something but Jason was already skating off the ice. He hastily ripped off his skates and shoved his feet into his freezing cold boots. He was so outta here.

The walk back to his farm was cold and long. When he slammed through the front door he was relieved to find he was alone. His parents must still be in town. Probably getting drunk at the bar. God they probably would’ve forgotten to pick him up from the Wayne’s place anyway so it was probably best that he had walked home. Not to mention the walk had given him time to cool his head.

Crap he’d really messed up. He was going to have to apologise to Richard on Monday.

He’d just put the water on to make tea when there was a soft knock at the door. Jason groaned. This was most likely going to be unpleasant.

When Jason swung the door open the last person he’d been expecting was a sheepish looking Richard.

“I’m sorry.” Jason blurted out. Then before Richard could say anything Jason asked, “What do you want?”

Richard smiled softly. “I wanted to apologise too. I talked with Tim after and he...” He trailed off as he saw how pale Jason had gotten. “Listen,” Richard reached out but Jason stepped back further into the house. “No really, listen-”

“No, you listen. Whatever Tim told you, well it wasn’t his bit to tell. He’s probably just making things up. He’s 14. That’s what Kids his age do.”

“Aren’t you only 15?”

A brilliant blush began to spread across Jason’s cheeks. “Well I feel like I’m older.”

Richard laughed. It’s loud and happy and it just made Jason’s heart swell.

“Listen,” Richard stepped forward and wrapped a hand gently around Jason’s bicep. “I know why you were scared. People like us… well people say there shouldn’t be people like us.” He stepped closer, a fond smile on his face. “But I say screw them. We only live once.”

“Richard-”

“Dick.”

“Dick,” Jason licked his lips and looked up into bright blue eyes. “Are you…?” He didn’t have the words to ask what he wanted.

“Yah. I mean we’re probably going to have to keep it a secret. But I’d like to. With you. If you want.”

Jason smiled, it was small and tentative but a smile none the less. “Yah, anything for you, Dick. Anything.”

Dick Grayson may be an adult but right now he needs an adult. An adultier adult. Someone who knows about dishwashers and coupons and Roombas. He’d also prefer if it’s an adult that won’t make too much fun of him. At least not in front of the other adults.

Jason Todd needs a friend. Yah he has friends. Yes, plural. But he can pretty much count them on one hand and he really only sees them when it’s end of the world type stuff. So yah he’d like someone to just binge Netflix with, cook for, and maybe name a Roomba with. He doesn’t even have a Roomba but he’d get one if it meant he didn’t spend every night alone eating microwave burritos.

My laptop is being a little bitch so here I am hand writing some fanfic while I wait for my benadryl to kick in. Nothing can go wrong, right????

I am working on my roomba fic so it's not like this was super serious to begin with.

Fan Writer Tropes

Hahahahaha so @rosemoonweaver tagged me with this like last week and I was like “cool, I’ll do this tomorrow” and then FUCKING FORGOT LIKE A BOSS. So anyway. Here I am late to the party like usual.

Rules: You gotta list your own fan author tropes and then tag your writing buddies so they can do the same. Defend yourself as much or as little as you want to. Call yourself out and encourage your friends to do the same! 

I’ve got 2 styles: make you laugh, or make you fucking cry like a little girl

everyone has a panty kink

at least one character can’t cook to save their life

rare ships everywhere.

everyone’s probably bi/pan unless I explicitly stated otherwise. I think I might have even written a straight character in like 2006.

bisexual disasters

at least one character is so done with this shit

actually a lot of characters are super sassy or exasperated

puns

hahaha so this story was supposed to be like 2k max but now it’s 5k and I don’t know what I’m doing with my life

awkward flirting

friends to lovers

someone is a metalhead

Totally feel free to call me out too. I’m sure I do way more than this but this is probably what I’m most guilty of.

Who hasn’t been tagged yet? @stevieraebarnes @gabrielthemoose @intotheruins and absolutely everyone else that wants to do this?

[maliciouslycreative]

Do any of you switch between writing in past tens and present on like the flip of a coin? Because my stories are all over the place. some days my brain is like “we’re gonna write everything in past today” and then the next day it’s all present. Then when I go to edit I can tell which day I wrote what on based on if it’s past or present.

Why am I like this?

[maliciouslycreative]

Had way too much caffeine. Time to actually write!!!!

Sorry Jason for what is about to happen to you. :((( I don’t think you’re prepared for how much of an adult Dick isn’t.

3 sentence au - Dean/Ketch + butterscotch

“My god, can you stop that?” Ketch hissed as his mother left the room to prepare some tea.

“It’s not my fault I stress eat. I wouldn’t be chain eating these fucking toffees if you’d let me bring some gum!” Dean hissed back as he stuffed yet another butterscotch toffee in his mouth and tried to shove the wrapper in his his pocket which was now overflowing with them.

“If you stop stuffing your face with sweets I’ll give you something even better to occupy your mouth when we get home.”

Dean didn’t eat another butterscotch the whole afternoon.

(Send me a pairing and a prompt and I shall write you a three sentence or more fic.)
