Summary:

A witch who thinks she’s a Seer, a Seer who thinks she’s a witch, a former nemesis-turned-something-turned-acquaintance who thinks they could be friends, and a Scottish village full of Muggles who think this is as much their business as the fair folk in the woods. Draco is going to prove them all wrong.

  Song prompt: Water Under The Bridge — Adele

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

“Are you content to live the rest of your life like this?” Draco asks carefully. “Are you just going to accept what is handed to you and never ask for more? Fuck that! That’s not who you are.”

“I can’t …” Harry says, shaking his head but still turning back into Draco’s touch. “If we did this ….” He pauses and his eyes fly open to study Draco’s face like he has never seen him before. After several rapid heartbeats, he finally declares, “You’re going to leave eventually.” 

“But what if I stay?”

“They’re your parents, Draco,” Harry spits out like this is the be-all and end-all. “One day you’ll leave me and go back to them.”

“I am ready to stay,” Draco says determinedly. “I am going to stay. I have been miserable for years, and I am not going to punish myself any longer.” Resisting the sudden urge to flick Harry’s forehead and hammer the message into his brain, Draco settles on brushing a bit of hair out of his face. “I understand that you have no frame of reference, but parents are not actually the most important thing in the universe.”

“I know that,” Harry says quietly, searching Draco’s face. “I didn’t know you knew that.”

“It is something I had to learn the hard way,” Draco admits. “But I did. If my parents want to be in my life, they will have to be in my life, not their deluded version of it.”

Harry stays stock-still for a moment, not counting the lip he is chewing on or his heart that’s beating a mad rhythm against his ribcage. Finally, he lifts his head off the ground and demands, “Help me up.”

“I thought you were stuck,” Draco says, even as his hands move along Harry’s body to come to rest on his shoulders.

“They’ll let me go,” Harry says confidently. “‘Cause I’m going to kiss you.”

“These plants want you to kiss me,” Draco deadpans. His fingertips are trembling in time with his pounding heart, so he brushes them along Harry’s damp shoulder blades for a distraction. “It’s because we shagged in the forest, isn’t it? I knew that wasn’t normal.”

“Definitely not normal,” Harry agrees. Muscles flex under Draco’s hands, and Draco effortlessly raises Harry’s upper body off the ground. Harry smiles, sliding his fingers into Draco’s hair, and leans in without hesitation.

A jovial choir of birds starts trilling the moment their lips touch. Draco’s eyes close as he kisses back, but even through his eyelids, he detects the bright beam of sunlight that hits them. Harry’s tongue brushes Draco’s ever so slightly, and Draco feels every single cell inside his body. The quiver that runs through Draco at the same time doesn’t seem to recognise the boundaries of his body — it pours out of him unhindered, bending the flowers surrounding them before rushing through the bushes and trees, rustling the foliage. Draco knows this without seeing, knows it like he knows Harry’s body, trembling beneath his hands. 

A smattering of sun-warmed water splatters against the crown of Draco’s head, his nose, his cheeks and shoulders, and they burst apart, startled. Draco extends a hand, palm up, but it isn’t even raining. 

“What was that for?” Draco asks, flinging some water off his arms as he glares up at the canopy. The foliage is still rustling slightly, dislodging more of its accumulated rain drops.

Harry grins as he lets his hands slip from Draco’s hair. “Pretty sure the forest thinks getting rained on is a good thing.”

Draco would like to give the forest some honest feedback, but he doesn’t really fancy spending the rest of the afternoon bound to the ground. 

“Alright,” he announces instead, addressing the forest just as much as Harry, “I am going to take you home now.”

Chapter 5 ("Bi The Way") of my Spideytorch fic "Teenage Wasteland" is up now!

Fic Summary

Johnny is no stranger to love at first sight. He falls in love almost as often as he falls out of it, which shouldn’t be possible from a logical standpoint, but Johnny makes it work. Not with Spidey, though. With Spidey, it is love at first fight. One-hit KO. Now, to make Spidey aware of Johnny’s existence.

Chapter Summary

Sue sees more than she should. She is awful at sharing.

Finally decided to start posting the fic I dreamed up while drawing this.

First chapter up now, but I reckon this scene won't crop up until about 40k words in :D

Summary:

Johnny is no stranger to love at first sight. He falls in love almost as often as he falls out of it, which shouldn’t be possible from a logical standpoint, but Johnny makes it work.

[thunderfiction]

Chapter 2 (A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering) up now!

“I want to break into Stark Industries with you,” Johnny said confidently. “You shouldn’t do it alone.”

“I do everything alone.”

“But now you don’t have to. What if you get caught?”

“Taking you along is what would get me caught in the first place.” Spidey hopped onto a nearby antenna and gestured down at Johnny. “When I think stealth, I don’t exactly picture a five-foot-ten chatterbox in flames.”

“You know how tall I am?” Johnny said in an embarrassingly husky voice. 

[thunderfiction]

Chapter 4 (Loving You Is A Bloodsport) up now!

“First rule of superheroing: Risk assessment before engagement. Also works great for relationships. Adjust your angle. Check out what he’s got between his legs. Another universally applicable advice.”

‘What?’ Johnny mouthed to himself, utterly perplexed. This was so not how he’d imagined his very first conversation with Iron Man.

Batkids early adoption au except it all happens in the same night (also Bruce Wayne is an idiot)

Picture this:

Bruce goes to the circus. A tragedy occurs. He starts walking back to his car with a freshly orphaned Dick Grayson clinging to his neck. He gets there only to find...

The tires are gone. All but one, which is in the process of being removed by a scrawny street kid named Jason Todd. The boy runs.

Bruce panics. He obviously can't let this poor, obviously homeless kid run off to get crimed in Crime Alley. Bruce does the only thing he can think of: he throws Dick like a pokeball. It works, sort of. Dick catches the kid, the kid catches a concussion.

Bruce panics harder.

He bundles the kids into the back of his car and hops in the drivers seat. "Hospital," he says to himself, "I can do this. I'm Batman."

"What?" Dick says.

"What?" Jason says.

"What?" Bruce says.

THUMP. They're interrupted by the sound of someone landing bodily on the roof.

Bruce stumbles out of the car to find Tim Drake doing the family guy death pose on top of his $400,000 Mercedes. Above them, a broken fire escape squeaks a threat of more violence. Bruce is distracted by it for only a second, but when he looks back down, Tim is already upright and setting off a camera in his face.

"Hi, Batman!" Tim grins. "I knew it was you."

Bruce blinks away the stars with a sigh and opens the back door again. Tim scrambles off the roof and wanders in.

Bruce now has three childr- wait when did that one get here? Cassandra Cain is wedged into the middle seat between Dick and Jason. She smiles at him sweetly.

"Who-" Bruce begins.

Someone wings a brick at them out of nowhere. Tim narrowly avoids further head trauma only because Bruce's dad reflexes activate in time to bat (ha!) it away. Bruce turns to see a little blonde girl sprinting off. He moves to catch her, but steps on Jason's discarded tire iron; it flips up and nails him in the balls. Stephanie Brown gets away.

Bruce realises, while he's writhing pitifully on the ground, that the car still has no tires.

He calls Alfred for help.

---

Four hours, a hospital visit, a whole lot of paperwork and one long phone call to CPS later, Bruce arrives home with four emergency foster kids in tow.

Talia Al Ghul is sitting in his living room with a baby carrier.

Enjoy on AO3

[thunderfiction]

Someone recorded an incredible podfic of my fic, and I’m honestly blown away! It’s so, so well done — the production is amazing, and every character has a distinct and fitting voice. They really brought the whole story to life and totally captured the flow of dialogue I heard in my head while writing it. :)

Thank you so much, dear podficcer — I totally love it <3

[uncloudedandsage]

Laughing my ass off at these reactions to this poster, mostly because I feel the exact same way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[foxofninetales]

I need you to understand:

There are 25 works tagged "Cordelia (2020)" on AO3

All of them are based on the movie poster, not the actual movie

One of them is a Goncharov crossover

[professorsparklepants]

Role swap au where Zuko was the Avatar who got frozen for a hundred years, so when he’s rescued from the ice instead of a goofy twelve year old Katara catches this mysterious teenager with long hair and a cool scar and a fucking DRAGON

Katara: BOY???? HOT BOY?????? HOT TEENAGE BOY?????????

Zuko: *speaks*

Katara: nevermind I hate him

[brawltogethernow]

How does Aang factor into this? I ask because the more I think about it the more I want him to somehow be trying to capture the Avatar.

[professorsparklepants]

Aang is 112 years old, decided he was going to be Zuko’s airbending teacher, and refuses to take no for an answer

[brawltogethernow]

Aang: Aw, the new Avatar doesn’t want me. Aang: *gets out a weighted net* Time for Plan B then.

[professorsparklepants]

JDJSHJABDBFJSH

[brawltogethernow]

Look, you know how you keep a net from falling on you? YOU AIRBEND IT, SUCKA. Air comes right after fire in the cycle so it’s not like the guy has any other options. Do you want a flaming net falling on you? No? Then learn to airbend. Or this tiny old man will cart you away like a trussed turkey and lecture you about the power of laughter, going with the flow, opening your chakras, and other hippie shit.

[brawltogethernow]

Sokka, slouching against a fence, not moving: Oh nooooooo, that creepy old man stole the Avataaaaaaaaaar. Sokka, sitting down on the ground: We should dooooo something. Sokka, pulling out his lunch: Otherwise he might actually learn something. That would be teeeerrible. Katara, indignant rage coursing through her body: Sokka!!!!!!!! We have to go look for him!!!! Sokka: Might! Actually! Learn! Something! Katara! Katara: *wavers* Katara, also sitting down: We have to go look for him…. *gets out her own sandwich* But, maybe after lunch.

[professorsparklepants]

I love that this transforms Aang’s role in the full Team Avatar familial situation from the baby of the family to the Grandpa with weird hobbies

[wetwareproblem]

My brain, immediately after the “Aang won’t take no for an answer” post:

Aang: I’m gonna ride him! *jumps on Zuko’s shoulders*

[wetwareproblem]

Actually, I thought a bit more about this: If Aang is “grandpa figure who won’t fucking stop teaching Zuko to be a better and more spiritually fulfilled person,” then what is Iroh doing?

And then it hit me.

Iroh: *sitting in a teahouse at a paisho table* Iroh, deadpan: I must capture the last airbender.  Iroh: It is the only way to make sure the powe rof the Avatar won’t be turned on the Fire Nation. Iroh: Only then will I be redeemed in the eyes of the Fire Lord for my failure at Ba Sing Se. Iroh: … Iroh: Anyway, it’s your turn.

About half of the B plots are just Iroh finding new ways to feign incompetence and bad luck so that his political watchdog can’t prove that he’s letting Aang - and by extension Zuko - get away.

[wetwareproblem]

@ray10k

[dysperdis]

Sometimes Iroh plays paisho with Aang, whose entire disguise during these games consists of a painfully fake mustache.

[wetwareproblem]

AANG WAS THE OTHER PLAYER IN THAT SCENE OF COURSE IT’S PERFECT (the moustache is just a bit of Appa’s fur tied in a string)

[eternalgirlscout]

i think about this post all the time and if i may, i would like to suggest keeping the banished royalty angle for zuko.

he was the eldest son of fire lord sozin, who knew the avatar was the greatest threat to the fire nation, but also knew the new one would be a firebender and he couldn’t exactly merc his own people, now could he? but he always planned to order a convenient little assassination on whoever the new avatar turned out to be and in the meantime took out the air temples so that avatar couldn’t learn the next element in the cycle. of course, when it turns out to be his son, sozin, stellar dad that he is, thinks “if you want something done right” and shoots a fire blast at his firstborn.

zuko enters the avatar state, blows up half the palace, etc etc as one does, gets a nasty scar for his trouble, and escapes, hence why he was hanging out far enough south to necessitate katara and sokka cracking open a cold boy a century later.

all this is to say 1. i think it’s a good way to maintain zuko’s background and characterization in an au like this and 2. it leads to a secret second roleswap

because this makes zuko iroh’s uncle.

[uberguber89]

Imagining Iroh’s voice saying “uncle zuko” I’ll be busy laughing for the next few hours.

Batman regularly conducts performance evaluations/reviews for all the justice league members on an annual basis

Someone in the league, probably Hal or Barry, brings up how unfair it is that none of the robins have to go through it, when it's the most daunting thing ever. So now, the batkids have to go through mandatory performance reviews too

Bruce: The audit team says the budget this time was way higher than the last?

Tim, who's laundering an entire batmobile: We just needed extra snacks to feed the bats in the cave

Bruce: They suddenly needed more food?

Tim: Actually the previous bats all adopted new baby bats. Cause they're all like you, you know?

Bruce, trying not to cry: okay

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce: The record says you broke the 'no gun rule' fifty times in the past month.

Jason: Damn just fifty?

Bruce: That's not acceptable

Jason: What are you gonna do, fire me? Your poor posthumous son?

Bruce:

Jason: That's what I thought, see you at dinner

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce: In the medical record, all your injuries are listed as 'nunya'. Care to elaborate?

Dick, hitting a pose: Nunya business

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce: How would you rate yourself and your performance on a scale of 1-5?

Cass, trying to sound professional: 4.8

Bruce, concerned: Why did you deduct the 0.2? Self-esteem is important. You're getting a five, review over

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce: What would you like to say about your repeated-

Duke: I'm severely understaffed, you know? As in, i literally work my shift alone, so

Bruce: Fair enough, I apologize, you may leave

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce: In your own words, please explain why we should keep you around for another year

Damian, having to deal with this right after a long patrol: I'm your blood son. Would you fire me? Firing Richard as Robin wasn't enough?

Bruce:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bruce: What would you say your biggest flaws have been, while working this year?

Steph, experienced in these cause of her service jobs: I cared too much. And I worked too hard.

Bruce:

Steph: Can't forget I'm also too good at my job.

Hypothetically, if Bruce were de-aged and temporarily taking the mantle of Robin, who would be his Batman?

Dick Grayson (previous experience in batmanning, peak roleswap vibes)

Jason Todd (the most likely duo to pull if off if they could Get Along)

Cassandra Cain (I need her to be Batman, she is my Batman)

Tim Drake (he does have to be going through an Awful time for the parallels)

Stephanie Brown (she is Vengeance (against Bruce specifically))

Damian Wayne (this is his dream, but both batman and robin are small now)

Clark Kent (this is not the first time he's cosplayed as his best friend)

No batman, only the psychological illusion of batman Bruce engineers

No batman, No hint of batman, the lack of batman is concerning actually

There are six Batmans simultaneously, this is necessary to reign in this Robin

Robin!Bruce leaves Gotham to be the sidekick for a different leaguer (Diana?)

Actually, there is a different character this dynamic would go hard with (lmk?)
