February is approaching fast! The 2000s are old enough to rent a car, so we're taking the February Ficlet Challenge on a roadtrip! One of each day's prompts will have something to do with travel or driving.
Start putting together your lists of pairings or characters!
For those just joining us, the FFC works like this:
Make yourself a list of 28 pairings or characters you want to write for.
Check this tumblr every February morning for the day's prompts.
Write a ficlet of at least 200 words using at least one of the day's prompts and the next character or pairing in your list.
Post that ficlet to the February Ficlet Challenge 2025 AO3 Collection.
For hard mode, write and post the ficlet the same day as the prompts go live!
All that said, we're pretty flexible - feel free to write all your ficlets for one pairing; to only write for those of the prompts that speak to you; to post after February is over; to write poems or meta instead of ficlets. We're here to have fun and make more fic happen!
The FFC 2024 AO3 collection will be closing at the end of January.
how the fam find out Jason's still alive
Dick, looking through old photo books: aw, it's such a shame Talia didn't tell B about you until recently Dami, I'd have loved to see photos of you as a baby
Damian: ? I can get baby photos if that is required in this family
Dick: what, how? Talia doesn't seem like the baby-book kind of woman, no offense.
Damian: She was not, however after my brother was brought out of the Lazarus pit he was given a few old cameras in an attempt to make his mind focus on something not harmful to himself and settle down. He took a lot of photos of our family during his training.
Dick:
Bruce:
Both, simultaneously: your what now?
-later-
Damian, walking into the room with an old box: Alright so I broke into his current safe house while he was working and took one of the boxes. I believe these should suffice for your 'baby books'
Bruce: hold on you broke into his- your brother lives in Gotham??? there's a trained league assassin working in this city and you didn't tell me? Damian we need to talk about your habit of withholding important infor-
Dick: Bruce.....
Bruce: -mation. what?
Dick: look at the.... photo...
Bruce, leaning over to see a photo of Jason Todd holding baby Damian up at the head of a meeting table like in the lion king, red smear on his forehead, while Ra's Al Ghul stares at them both from his seat looking Tired Of Jason's Shit™:
Damian, peering at the photo: yes, Todd got quite good with the timers on those cameras, he took many a photo holding me like that. I believe it was a special campaign designed to get on grandfather's nerves enough that he'd agree to watch the movie with us.
Bruce:
Dick:
*screaming*
bonus:
Tim: you know some of these photos are actually really good, like the angles and tones you used
Jason: you steal Robin, I steal photography.
Tim:
well maybe if adoption was more accessible to single parents and lesbian couples, witches wouldn’t have to go haggling for people’s firstborns
*bash* *bash *bash* *ba–
Phrases to borrow for my next migraine.
Okay but I would give my left kidney and my firstborn child to see a tv show about JLU Question and Huntress
I mean imagine: sleep-deprived Vic doing his best to organize a surprise birthday party for Helena (because that's what boyfriends do) while doing his best to solve an ancient riddle to stop the Antichrist from ruling the Earth? Question absolutely not giving a damn about the rules and sneaking Huntress into the Watchtower? Question being cornered in some dark alley by some villains he crossed and them getting beaten to pulp by his protective girlfriend? Uncovering some huge conspiracy while dealing with renovation of their first shared apartment?
I would watch the hell out of it
