Bad writing means you took the time to write something, you, a real human being. It means you created something! And you have the awareness to see that there's room for improvement, too!!!
Bad writing is wonderful!!! Bad writing is a platform from which you can build your masterpiece! Bad writing is the backbone of good writing!
Give yourself permission to write badly. No, actually- give yourself permission to write something TERRIBLE. Give yourself permission to write such drivel that you can barely read it.
Nothing comes out a masterpiece the first time!! You think Isaac Asimov never wrote a total stinker he had to rebuild from the ground up? You think Jules Verne never wrote utter slop for a first draft?
WRITE SOMETHING AWFUL!!! Write something so bad you cringe about it years later!!! And then when that's done, write some more!!!!!
Jason Todd didnât plan on fatherhood, but a daughter who heals like Lazarus water sheâs never touched wasnât supposed to exist either.
Now the family death built in the shadows of crime and justices is bleeding out slowly, its veins full of memory and ruin.
Memory that Tim Drake feels shifting one at a time, an infection of the mind.
Ruin that Damian fears is his future as he reaches for a legacy not written in bloodâ trusting in a mirror who doesnât know whether to stay.
Raâs al Ghulâs empire is fracturing as his daughter builds her own from its wreckage.
Slade burns for revenge.
And LexCorpâs experiments have left Conner- Kon- scrambled between obsession, love, and identity.
Meanwhile, Owls whisper the hunt of âLazarus Bloodââ and the very Pits they seek to control are ill and fractured in trading decay for something what is still alive.
Blood doesnât make family.
But whatâs in the veins can be the difference between how we are hunted.

*Author did vote on poll to see updates on results, means nothing for fic future, just to see predictions as they go*
The idea of Damian Wayne absolutely losing his shit over that damn video game.
Like⌠imagine the developers changed a combat mechanic next game/update or retconned loreâŚ
All of a sudden they have a three page letter in the mail, front and back, just this random ass kid from New Jersey losing his ever loving mind.
It is proofread. It has citations.
There are words like âabhorrentâ and âconsequenceâ.
None of their addresses were public knowledge, either, so how the hell did he find them? This kid hunted them down just to say his piece.
There are quotes. Some arenât even English.
âIt has not been modernized it has been DECLAWED.â
âYou have managed to insult the intelligence of long-term players, anyone who has partaken in hand to hand combat, andâ most impressivelyâ yourselves.â
âHow does one manage to undo years of progress within a single update, yet take two years to fix a map?â
âYou corrected NOTHING. You simply gave up faster.â
âMy father has adopted more children than you have raised your standards.â
Okay wait I was gonna do the tomb raider au with Damiline and I still want to write a Damiline fanfic but⌠what if I do Damirae but Raven is, like, a version of Baba Yaga trying to scare people away so her fatherâs cult doesnât find her on the island.
Like I really donât know where to lean with this now.
The more I write it the more I like both.
So yeah, even if I only get two votes total, this is how Iâm making my decision:
Tomb Raider AU, Damiline or Damirae?
Damilineâ Lean more tag-team tomb raider & uncharted duo.
Damiraeâ Lean more tomb raider & baba yaga.
Go to bed, Utility.
Both but only post one when completed and do slow update with the other.
***Set in an alternate universe without heroes or powers.***
â˘Family Chaos. Dark Comedy. Sexual Themes.
â˘Shippings include: Tim x Kon, Damian x Rachel, Bruce x Selina, Dick x Kori.
(A Christmas Story)
Damian Wayne stays home for Christmas for the first time in years. Bruce Wayne has a color-coded binder of mandatory events. Jason Todd is sporting an ankle monitor. Tim Drake is secretly sleeping with the enemy. A hush-hush Wayne elopement featuring Vegas. Koriandâr accidentally gets people high. Cassandra and Stephanie plan to flee the country. Jimmy Olsen canât catch a cab. The Kents are in an RV. Wally and Irey West get temporarily trapped. Dick Grayson crashes out over peanuts. Duke Thomas learns what it means to be Selinaâs favorite.
And halfway across the world, Talia al Ghulâ a literal dictatorâ realizes Damian refused to return home for Christmas because heâd rather spend it with his girlfriend (Damirae this time, sorry) and that suspicious ride-or-die group of friends.
Absolutely nothing goes according to plan.
(Rating change due to certain scenes/incidents.)
Do we like how I wrote up the couples here or no?
Yes
No
Yes but write it again w/Flatline instead (as requested on discord.)
No because your writing is shit (you sound like my mom)
No because your chapters are too long Iâm going to cry.
