i don't usually ship those two but this is cute. Maybe an idea for the future
I love a teen Jason who has a big fat crush on Dick. He sees him and he can't help to feel all nervous and shit, because Dick is just beautiful in every aspect like that. Dick sometimes is a jerk, but he also understands why and can't really blame him, but then Dick is really nice and sweet with him and oh, Jason is so helpless. Jason waits for the next time they'll meet with excitment, because Dick cares for him, because Dick knows how to stop him but also knows how to let him fly. And then he dies. And then he comes back.
He thinks he's already past all that, you know, being all sad and angry at Bruce, at the world, doesn't really give him space to think about anything else. He lives with that, because even if he had the time to give it a thought, he knows he'll never get to anything. And then he sees him again.
He has shorter hair, he is just a little bit taller than what he remembers, but Jason is also taller than him. He's wearing a tight black with blue suit, and his smile even in risky situations is still there, perfect and beautiful as ever. He looks more composed, much more mature but his voice and laugh is a jovial as it used to. He moves in control and grace, with freedom that only the experience grants only a few.
Then they meet eyes.
And God, Jason is so fucking helpless.
Feels Jason and Tim coded… hmmm maybe I will
Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem
Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao
Okay, We are all used to it and many love the current Bruce, secretive and emotionally constipated... And I know poor communication is a trope in their life at this point...
But, man, sometimes I miss the old Bruce, when it was just Dick and him, and Bruce didn't mind telling people he loved that kid like his own son, who tells Dick that he would rather lose his arms than him, that he couldn't even think of replacing him, who played with him and that was more important than anything.
I miss them.
Tumblr usernames are so funny, "the ghost of jason todd started following you" okay well can he stop
A non-comprehensive list of wrong words I've seen in fics:
Rogue and Rouge - very common in superhero fics
Offal and awful - only seen this twice, both in Harry Potter fics
Weary and Wary - to be WEARY is to be tired, worn out. To be WARY is to treat with suspicion.
Definitely and defiantly - I do this all the time and have to go back to fix it
Bare and bear - The character probably doesn't have a bear chest. Probably.
Passed and past - Also guilty of this one
Manner and manor - lots of Batman fics have this one
Bubble, bauble, bobble - I can't remember the fic but I saw all three of these used in a paragraph to describe Christmas ornaments
Dual and duel - Another common one for Harry Potter
Chord and cord - also weirdly common?
Scalding and scolding - Scalding hot, scolding voice
Loosing and losing - You can loose a knot but you lose a fight
Threesome and trio - I KNOW what the fic writer was trying to say but these days the two have very different connotations
Cryptid and cryptic - So often. SO OFTEN. Especially in Danny Phantom fics
Waste and waist - This always shows up in character descriptions and it transcends fandom
We all make mistakes but some of these are so common I actually googled to see if I was wrong XD
BEGGING Batman/Batfam ff authors to learn the difference between rouge and rogue. For my sake. Please. (I use a screen reader and it switches it into French half the time)
This was so funny to me, lol
What if Dick’s hallucinations of Jason got so out of hand that he began to believe that the spirit of his brother was trapped in his coffin and needed to be laid to rest?
So, like, HalluciJason normally just hangs out in the corner of Dick’s eye and occasionally blames Dick for his death. But one day, HalluciJason begins to talk about how he’s trapped. How it’s so dark and it smells like dirt and there’s velvet beneath his fingers and he can’t breathe. At first Dick tells himself to just ignore the hallucination, he’s just crazy. But over time, as HalluciJason starts to venture further and further into Dick’s field of vision, it becomes harder and harder to ignore his pleas. Something about the hallucination becomes more substantial, more real.
Eventually, Dick breaks. He goes to the graveyard where Jason is buried and digs up his grave. Bruce, who has noticed Dick slipping, is horrified when he finds out what Dick is doing and rushes to the graveyard.
He arrives just as Dick finishes digging and Jason bursts out of his coffin. Dick hugs his little brother, covered in dirt and sweat and tears.
After this, everyone believes that Dick was actually having visions and wasn’t going crazy at all. Stranger things have happened—like Jason’s resurrection. He was trapped in his coffin, if only briefly. And if Dick hadn’t been there, Jason would’ve indeed suffocated.
(But two weeks after Jason returns to life, Dick sees him, just in the corner of his eye. A boy dressed in a bloody Robin suit. Jason. Watching, with pale blue eyes.)
when jason died, they buried him with the possessions that he carried on him all the time. there was a pocket knife tucked into his sock, the bracelet on his wrist from catherine that he never took off, a tangled pair of earbuds in his back pocket, and, in the top pocket of his jacket, the cellphone that bruce bought for him after he was adopted.
that cellphone stayed with jason in his grave. went with him when he dug his way out. somehow stayed on his person when he was taken by the league, and he managed to convince talia to let him keep it throughout all his training.
he doesn’t know why, maybe as a grief thing or maybe just because bruce forgot and it’s not like the bill effected him in any way, but he never stopped paying jason’s phone bill. his number’s still active, still working after all this time. even weirder, but dick started adopting the tradition of adding his dead brother’s phone number to each and every family group chat any of them created after ethiopia. again, jason doesn’t know why. maybe it was dick’s way of carrying his memory with them; including him in family conversations even if they all thought the number was connected to a long buried phone in the pocket of a long dead boy.
the point is that jason wasn’t dead any more. and all throughout his time at the league, he gets to watch the family chats. the mission statuses, the arguments, the rapid spiral every chat went through where they started off using it as a serious bat communication centre only for dick or tim to send a meme and instantly spiral into nothing but chaos that bruce would neither take part in or attempt to stop. jason spectates it all, always fingering the keypad but never actually typing out a message. he came close when there was a heated debate between steph and dick about the best donut types and he knew they were both absolutely fucking wrong, but luckily tim came in to educate them on the right choice last second and jason was saved from having to reveal himself.
the closest call was when little damian got a hold of his phone, attracted to the bright colours of the block game jason had been absently playing out of boredom while ra’s droned on about whatever had pissed him off that day. he’d let the kid play, sat on his lap and eagerly jabbing at the screen, and jason had only looked away for at most a minute before he’d turned back to find the screen open on the family chat, damian having accidentally clicked on the camera button and taken a selfie of the two that he’d been about to send through. luckily, jason deleted it in time, but he became much more careful about letting the kid play with his shit after that.
this is all just a long winded explanation and backstory for and au i think would be funny where jason’s reveal is literally just him deciding to fuck with his family by randomly dropping in through text like:
-in the chat-
bruce: status report.
dick: hungry :( but good!
steph: seconded, im fine
tim: drug bust went to plan, on way back to cave uninjured
cass: ^ same answer
babs: everything seems calm from what i can tell
jason: a little claustrophobic but the coffin’s kinda homely so ig no complaints from me

several people are typing…
I have no idea how I’m gonna make this part of one of my fics but by god I’m gonna find a way
Spellcasters hate this fact but if you just stick your fingers in their mouth while they're casting a spell with a verbal component it's literally more effective than a counter spell.
