When I get a nice AO3 comment or Tumblr reblog I have to force myself not to say "I LOVE YOU PLEASE MARRY ME CAN WE BE BEST FRIENDS FOREVER I'M OBSESSED WITH YOU" and instead say "thanks"
It may take me a while to finish writing and publish the 18th instalment of Robin's Blues (I am after all, once again, in exam season) but I will make it up to you all with some snippets of another work of mine!
Alfred both loved and hated his granddaughter’s blue eyes, Thomas’ eyes.
He loved them because they reminded him of the man who once laughed through halls and who smiled like he held all the secrets of the universe.
He hated them for the same reason.
And now, they’re gone.
It should be a relief.
It is a relief.
But it’s also a wound.
Something sacred has vanished.
And Alfred is nothing but pain and reprieve held in the same trembling breath.
Because Thomas is gone.
Because Thomas will never really leave her (him).

Me, writing a very serious story about Batman's family.
Also me, adding a whole paragraph with Hal Jordan discovering that Batman's daughter (Female!Dick, and the only child of his the league knows about because he too was young and naive, once) is a cheerleader, cheer captain even, in which he talks about Bring It On and Mean girls and teenager dictators, while Batman broods (supposedly) because his daughter had the *audacity* to be preppy and "no daughter of mine will be preppy in this goth household, go change back from that cheer uniform, here is your everything-black and your white foundation sweetie."
Need you guys to know I am soooo anti generative AI. In case that wasn't clear. It's bad for the environment, unethical, theft, and will never be as freaky as me. It is inferior in every way
"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick
Me, ugly crying on a fanart because it fits perfectly one of my fanfic even if it is just a coincidence.
(The fanart is objectively stunning tho)
TOApril Day 17 - Lamentations of Broken Fathers
I'm not comfortable enough with dramatic lighting to be able to say that this is my best work but oh well
"Who's under the shroud?" you may ask. Well if you reject the bounds of PJO's timeline and use enough imagination it could be literally any of Apollo's children :))))
Bruce loved his daughter’s eyes.
Those eyes that have always been as blue as his father’s.
It was a quiet comfort, looking into her face and finding echoes of the man who made him.
But now, they’re different.
And it hurts.
Because Thomas Wayne is gone forever, and without those eyes, the illusion that he ever lived is harder to maintain.
His daughter's eyes aren’t Wayne eyes anymore.
But neither are they Al Ghul's.
And in that, Bruce finds strange solace.
His daughter's eyes are something left behind (just like her), unclaimed by legacy.

Alfred and Ra in my series "Robin's blues" apparently:
Alfred "I really love my granddaughter and, even if I can see Martha and Thomas in her and it hurts me greatly, I couldn't imagine my life without her and I never want to see her suffer" Pennyworth
And Ra:" Finally one member of my progeny that doesn't completely suck, now we just need to put her trough more pain to really make her shine!" Al-Ghul
I might have cried (multiple times already) while writing the anniversary bonus work of my series Robin's Blues.
THIS THING ISN'T FAIR

Writing the fanfic of my own fanfic with music on shuffle and accidentally hearing the perfect song for the mess Dixie is in that story is a preciously heartbreaking thing.
Anyways The Crane Wives might have a stronger chokehold on me than what I previously tought.
P.s. the song was "Allies or Enemies"
