Two Memes, Because

[browngirl]

Meme #1 from ladymercury_10:

Give me one character or ship and one of these symbols (or more), and I’ll let you know the following for that character/ship:

☾ : Sleep headcanon

☠ : Drinking/drunk headcanon

☼ : Childhood headcanon

⋆ : Sex headcanon

☮ : Bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon

☄ : Any AU headcanon (modern, school, medieval, and so on)

♤ : Cooking headcanon

☻ : Mood headcanon

♒ : Any other question of your choosing


Meme #2 from _samalander:
Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any story I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Thank you for being so patient with me -- I have been ridiculously unable to work on this all week.

SO. Cass Cain has two sleep modes -- barely asleep, where she can be awake and alert at a moment's notice, and comatose-limp-sound asleep. Soon after she started befriending Steph she took what she intended to be a light nap in Steph's bed and woke up fifteen hours later with Steph sitting beside her reading a book.

I had saved that image, then I got this story idea and wrote this segment around it. It's fanart of one of the several times Bruce took a brief retirement.

His expression is completely wrong for the suit.

He looks so vulnerable and sweet.

From the neck down Dick is Batman. The suit's sized for him, and slightly modified to help him appear taller, bulkier. Barbara can see the accomodations for Dick's flexibility, and the ways Bruce camouflaged them when he constructed this suit, all the way up to the double-layered gorget thickening and armoring Dick's long fine neck. But above that gorget is a stretch of pale skin, and a tilted chin, and Dick's vulnerable, open face.

I had fun with the costume porn.

A month ago she was looking at the invitation to his wedding and composing her regrets. Now here he is, in her living room, drinking her coffee and frowning with entirely too tender of a mouth. "I can't do this," he says, soft and thin and wobbly. "Robin is great, he's giving it his all, but how do I do this? How can I be Batman?"

Who else could he ask? Also, the wedding mention sets when this is in their lives and their relationship.

Barbara wants to pull his head to her shoulder and hug him for a long, long time.

Who wouldn't? LOOK AT THAT WOOBIE.

But that's not what Batman needs. She lifts her chin, and he unconsciously lifts his as he sits up; she folds her arms, and inhales, and tells him.

Barbara, like Bruce, made herself into a hero, whereas Dick developed into one as Bruce's partner. So I thought she'd know what he needed.

No worries!

Haha I can totally believe that. <3

Is that when Bruce broke his back during Knightfall then?

That's a really cool observation. :)
