AU where the Justice League forms like usual, except Batman maintained his “totally a myth” status and has in fact been active for years before the JL forms. He’s very cautious about trusting them, but still joins, and the others sort of accepts that as long as they trust that Batman has a really hard time with trust, it will all work out in its own weird way
Then, one day, in the middle of a JL mission, the League gets in a tight spot. Out of nowhere, this blue and black blur swoops in and saves everyone’s ass. Maybe breaking some shackles that were proving very difficult, maybe disarm a bomb that the League was just a hair’s breadth too slow to reach without help, but whatever happens, the shadowy figure pauses just long enough to say, “Hey, Batman, you know you there are these things called cellphones now and you can just call sometimes, it doesn’t have to be this dramatic?” and bounds away after shouting ‘let’s do brunch! Bring your new friends!’
Batman is mortified.
No one lets it go.
The entire rest of the mission, the whole League is asking so many questions. Who was that? Do you know him? How do you know him? What’s going on? I didn’t know there was a vigilante in this area?? They don’t let up until he talks.
“That was Nightwing.” Batman is mumbling. The JL forces him to bring them to the Brunch. Brunch happens to be in a run-down apartment on the edge of a bad neighborhood, at five in the morning, in costume. Nightwing introduces himself as Batman’s lovechild with justice.
“I did not realize Batman had a child,” Martian Manhunter says, calmly enough that no one’s sure if he’s accidentally plucking a really loud thought out of the air or if he’s trying to make a joke.
Nightwing stares for a moment falling over laughing. He doesn’t get up. Batman starts trying to apply anti-Joker venom but Nightwing just kicks him and laughs until he cries. He keeps trying to wipe his eyes and his mask keeps getting in the way, so he asks everyone to leave so he can please get a hold of himself
He is still laughing when they leave. Everyone is confused. Batman is furious. Nightwing manages to breathe long enough to say, “We’re just so glad you’re socializing now, Batman.”
Superman turns to look at Batman very slowly. “…’we’?”

Adventurer's Bible Character Extra - Laios
I just finished all of the Stormlight archive(except edgedancer and waiting for WAT) and I am obsessed! I do wish we got more info about the Nightwatcher as even the small glimpse of her we get are pure gold. She reminds me of the feyfolk from Ireland, Scotland, and whales in the best most unhinged way. I do however hope a couple things I want to happen with her.
A little context: I head cannon the three bondsmith Spren as storm father is the eldest brother and a brooding teenager 15 or 16, the Nightwatcher is like an insane 12 year old(think of a older lilo mixed with Matilda), and the sibling is the baby of the family who is like 6 or 7
Her bondsmith should be a singer.
If it’s someone we know than Vai, I know she’s young but I feel like together her and the night watcher could be schoolyard besties as in my head cannon they would be functional the same age, with Kaladin describing Vai as 7 in oathbringer it’s safe to assume with the singers faster aging she would be around 10 post time skip.
Also it could provide some character moments for kaladin and Vai, with her being an orphan and separated from everyone she knew Vai could blame kaladin for leaving and inadvertently causing her to be left alone, should ultimately come to terms with the fact that kaladin probably would have been killed by the fused and that he was not responsible for the way the fused punished Vai’s people, it could end with her forgiving him in some small way and perhaps swearing an ideal because of it.
Kaladin would also have to atone for his part, it could also tie into Kaladin’s therapy arch by helping Vai with her grief and perhaps helping her find a new family with the listeners or even becoming her new family.
and it connects to the themes of the cycle of revenge and Vai and kaladin would go through an arch of breaking the beginnings of a cycle of revenge in order to prepare for the bigger cycles that are connected to the conflict.
Another compelling option is someone we don’t know, maybe a family member of a known singer or listener like if Rlain had a sibling or one of Venli’s new listeners. A Iriali or Riran singer might be fun
I am also cautious about how the other two bondsmith surges work
as the surge Adhesion is only of Honor and the nightwatcher is of cultivation, the Nightwatcher could have a cultivation only version or substitute surge with it perhaps focusing on physical bonds, but I don’t know how that would work
And this is just a personal preference the stone theme we see from our only bondsmith just feels wrong
Overall the Nightwatcher’s bondsmith should help them avoid making a new oath pact. As reforging the oath pact just perpetuates the cycle of abuse and revenge that causes this war. And the books are ultimately about breaking that cycle and growing beyond them. A singer would make perfect sense for the Nightwatcher in this regard.
Small side tangent would be Vai’s mother being found/introduced, it also could be cool if she became a wind runner and her story could show how the elites of society pit the lower classes against each other and how the common human are not the singer’s enemies but those who enslaved and abused them (in this example the rich lighteyes). Also she could be extremely protective over Vai(the reason she wouldn’t be a will shaper) and perhaps her third or fourth ideal is about her balancing her job of protecting while avoiding controlling the people she wants to protect. Something like “I will strive to protect without force or control” or “I will protect all who need it, even if some have hurt me”. I will add more in another post
Dandelions symbolize everything I want to be in life
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to actually post this au I have been working on it for a long time and probably has the most content out of anything I make. So let begin!
There are Celtic gods, the gods from Ireland, Great Britain, and Gaul. In cannon we know there are not many left and more are fading away. Now the au, due to all the fading the gods have all come to gather under there Irish name the Tuatha De Dahann or children of the Danu, and to the gods that apply they go as either there Irish, welsh, Scottish, or very rarely there name from gaul. For example Lugh is the Irish name but Lugus is the Gaulish name(think Roman and Greek). For simplicity the gods basically fuse there other names together and go by one name now, so the Gaulish god once known as Lugus now goes by Lugh and is the same person as the Irish god Lugh. The gods that appear in the au are Lugh, the Morrigan, Dian Cecht, Cailleach, Aengus Og, Brigd, Manannan Mac Lir, and Arawn.
Not all of these gods are major figures in Celtic mythology and the loss of many major gods is the reason the gods now raise and are very close to and protective of there Demi-god children. Celtic Demi-gods also have not had to deal with monsters like other Demi-gods due to the close relationships between the people and magical creatures. But although they are safer they have to deal with the responsibilities of the faded and older Demi-gods work as or even fully become minor gods. They used to have a school for the Demi-gods and even mortal children to teach them life skills in the mortal world, magic, and other skills, sadly due to there not being enough students it was shut down in 1902 and a small after school and summer day program is used instead that focuses on teaching magic and self defense. The school and program are run by fairies employed by the gods that are also in charge of the seasons but if you have ever seen Ireland and Great Britain they don’t change much.
I introduced the fairies before in the post about porcupine so I won’t go over them here.
Unlike the greek gods who moved to the US the Celtic gods stayed in Ireland and Great Britain since they’re connected to the Irish people and the island itself not western culture. Some Demi-gods do live in the US like Aisling who lives in Modesto California(my hometown because I find it funny) since her ma works in viticulture.
Aisling is one of the main characters in this au along with her family, her dad is the god Arawn. Now in the mythology Arawn has a wife but nothing is known about her so I made her a actual character, Fiona in known as ma to there children, and Mary is known as mum. Arawn and Fiona have been married for centuries and in the late 17 hundreds or early 18 hundreds they met Mary a 40 year old childless widow and all three fell in love and got married turning Mary into a minor goddess and second queen of Annwn. Together they have 4 sons Patrick, Sean, Gillian, and Bart and 1 daughter Aisling. Patrick is the oldest at 24, the twins Sean and Gillian are 22, Bart is 20, and the youngest Aisling is 16.

Wow it’s been a while with this one! I wanted to sort of lay out a few good ideas for the first season of titans since I never touched it in my first posts. So without further ado here it is:
Let’s get this out of the way nightwing is nightwing from the very beginning no stupid still robin stuff he is nightwing and he moved out of Bruce’s manner.
Cory’s memory loss is fine but I want badass alien star so she is shipwrecked on earth and hiding from her crazy sister
Raven can keep her name for a civilian identity but she goes by her nickname raven, she stays the depressed goth kid who witnessed her moms murder.
And gar is mostly fine but I want to add some things to him since I only really remembering him being very bland, first he’s the theater kid, you don’t have to lie about green hair in theater dyed hair is the norm, but i don’t know if I want to put him in tech or as a actor. Nope great idea he’s in tech which makes him a jack of all traits, the April has a crane license in rottmnt.
Now I of course will now be adding the wonderful and amazing victor stone aka cyborg! Man I missed this guy, he was probably my favorite character in the animated show. He plays high school football and is friends with gar and knows about gars powers, he also knows raven from poetry club
In titans they also introduced Jason Todd as a recurring character but I don’t like that so we will push him to later
Time for PLOT!!!!
In the beginning not much will change for raven and dick, her mom still dies and dick is trying to help her get to a safe place and there being chased by something evil like demons that dick has been searching for for months
Now the deviations gar and victor and walking home from school and they are just about to meet up with victors dad, dr. Stone at his job when Cory’s ship crashes and victor gets caught in the blast, the group rushes him inside and dr. Stone has them bring him to his lab, cyborg is here!
Raven and dick also witness the crash and rush over to help by this time they where able to shake the demons but the crash makes them come back, they are getting destroyed by these demons when star sees them and comes out to help, cyborg is still processing what just happened with his dad and gar, somehow they end up coming to the conclusion that since gar and his family knows a lot about being an outsider cyborg might stay with them a while, we have a heartfelt scene with cyborg and his dad before
Star crashes into the window after being thrown by the demons!
Star gave the group an upper hand but after a while it wasn’t enough, gar and cyborg now join and we get a epic fighting as a team battle
Afterwords dr. Stone comes out to see if his son is ok and recognizes dick from the many times he has worked with Batman, and we have a catch up scene with the group and they realize that there are going to be a lot more demons and someone need to stop them this transitions into the titans tower and the team is now formed.
This is rather a two part episode with more plot I didn’t go over or above is part 1 and below is part 2
Now next episode
Titans tower is an old Wayne building that is sadly unprepared for its new job so dick calls Alfred, no not Bruce he’s still mad at Bruce for whatever reason, Alfred can’t make it so he sends Jason to drop of the stuff instead.
Now time for Jason Todd, now you might ask oh egglantine how will you integrate Jason one of your favorite Battfam members into the story?
I won’t
Yea I love the guy but this is titans and in order to avoid the transition into a Batman show Jason Todd will not be a recurring character. There will be cameos but any story that involves him will be a dick Grayson storyline.
I actually have the idea that as the show progresses the Batfam will be more comic relief or a running gag of no one knows how many siblings dick actually has and dick never tells
*titans in a later season calling batcave* Dick: hi Jason! Gar: wait Jason!! I thought he was dead!!! Jason eating a bagel: yea I’ve been good for like 6 years now Dick: that time you tried to kill us was pretty crazy though 😊 Titans: 😦
This is getting long enough and I have homework so I will see you next time! Also I am more than happy to answer any questions inbox should be open!
