    Summary

    “Could you come with me to the zoo today?” Grayson asks, dropping the amused expression for a second to take a serious one, as if a request to visit the zoo is the most important thing in the world.

    Damian debates in his head for a second, “What’s in it for me?”

    Grayson narrows his eyes like he does when he’s looking at a case file, “Does there need to be something in it for you?”

    “Ideally,” Damian says, shrugging his shoulders.

    “Damian, not everything has to be a transaction,” Grayson says, his shoulders drooping for a millisecond and an uncharacteristic edge of frustration in his voice.


    Or: Damian meets Zitka and maybe sees a new side to one Dick Grayson.

    “So if I — you would just — just like that? You’d — forgive me?”

    “I’d love you,” she corrects.

    “But you wouldn’t forgive me.”

    She shrugs. “Honestly? I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it.”

    “So how do you know you’d still love me?”

    “Because there’s nothing you could do, baby. I mean it.”

    “Nothing?”

    “Nothing.”

    After a week and a half of enforced no intimacy, Chloe summons a pent up Max to her house, having recently received a very special "package", that neither woman can wait to try out.

    This is part of my main series, What If's, though you don't need to have read that, as this works as a standalone.

    Summary

    “I maybe told my dad that you had been staying late in the studios,” Grant explained after a beat and Sparrow sighed before he could even finish. “And he got worried and told your dad, and he got really worried and asked me if I would walk you home to make sure you’re safe.”

    Sparrow closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose with two fingers. He was sure he was smearing charcoal across his face, but he hardly cared. “I’m 21 and we’ve all received combat training, I can take care of myself.”

    Grant snickered and rolled the chair closer, letting his arms drape over Sparrow’s shoulders. “But you’re so little! You’re petite! You’ll get picked up by strangers on the street!”

    “I could kick your ass.”

    “Even without Lark?”

    -

    Going to college was a good thing. Sparrow was living a normal life, he was striving for achievement, and he wasn't sitting around San Dimas with their dad and too many weapons. He was happy here, really. The fact that he missed Lark like a phantom limb didn't mean he wasn't happy.

    “You jealous?” Dick finds himself saying, a sly smirk twisting at his face. Wally’s throat bobs, and he looks away again.

    “Eh,” he shrugs, rubbing at his collarbone. His skin looks ghostly, white and freckled in the white light. Dick’s stomach squirms, in an odd but not unwelcome way. “Not in the way you’d think.”

    But in this moment, he wasn’t Riz-with-a-terrible-secret. He was just Riz, who had never been on a date because he was busy and had been chronically uncool up until last spring, but who would theoretically be amenable to it if the situation arose.

    He could live forever in that fictional world.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Characterization spot-on, prose phenomenal in its tension and its emotional resonance. But that's not as much what I'm going to be talking about in this note, because right now, I'm sitting in the third floor of my university's library, trying desperately not to cry. My chest is tight, my eyes burn, and I kept having to pause to take deep breaths before I continued reading. (In a good way, obviously. Maybe this isn't the healthiest for me, but op, I want you to know this fic means the world to me right now. I needed to see this. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.)

     

    I am always, always searching for more aromantic fics out there, and yet I've never found a fic like this before. One that holds up a mirror and shows on-page the exact same thoughts I've been having. The exact same feelings I've been having. For me, being aromantic hurts. I wish it didn't. I'm constantly loving myself for being aro and hating myself for it and harming myself by wishing I could be different, then shaming myself for possibly being so messed up in the head that I'm actually not aro at all, I've just spent years convincing myself I am and I'm am too afraid of change to want to let go of the label.

    There's far too much for me to say here. Fig not even knowing the word aro. Riz not daring utter it aloud. The lovely, accepting queer friend group assuming you must be gay because you don't act interested in the other gender and you know too much about the queer community to seem straight. The existential fear. The constant weight of it, the constant pressure bubbling up, boiling over until you burst, and then for a short time, you can bear it again. Until however long you last before crying about it again.

    I can't tell you how many screenshots I took while reading this fic, of lines that seemed to be plucked straight out of my own head and heart. The worst thing for me about being aro isn't being lonely in personal relationships, but being lonely in community. Being absent, a ghostly blight upon the world. Those few who know we exist do little more than ignore us. And those who don't—well, don't. So all that is to say that it can be terribly easy to forget that other people out there—even if very far away—are indeed feeling some of the same things you are.

    There are other aros out there who study and practice lies of omission like it were an art form. There are other aros out there who hurt and ache and rage against themselves because there's no other possible target for it. There are others out there who are constantly, in every single day, weighing the relief of coming out versus the safety and control of remaining "ambiguously queer."

    "It was like a heavy backpack. You carry it around long enough, you forget it's there. After a while, your shoulders forget what it's like to not end a day in pain." Maybe I worry that without the weight of my own fear, I won't know what to do with myself. Or maybe not. I just don't know.

    The point I'm trying to get at here, though, is that although this fic hurt me to read, as almost all aro fics do in a masochistic kind of way, I've never been more understood by a fic before. Others have come close, but this one made me realize I'm not alone. It still hurts, and to be honest, I don't think this knew knowledge even makes it hurt any less; but it showed me something I needed to see nonetheless.

    Thank you, dearest author, thank you so, so, so much for writing this. I've been thinking about this fic for half an hour now, after I finally calmed down enough to try and write something moderately coherent. (And jury's still out on if I succeeded there, lol.) I wish I had a Jawbone. And I wish Riz's story ended happily. It doesn't end badly, per se, but things aren't great, either. And some days that's how it feels to return to this part of myself over and over again.

    I guess I'll always have Riz Gukgak. And I'd like to think, if he knew he wasn't alone either, he'd be happy to have me.

    Summary

    “I like your bracelet,” Nico said. It was the first thing that had come into his mind but it was true. A woven bracelet was tied around Will’s wrist, a strip of pink, purple, and blue.
    He wasn’t expecting Will to look up with his eyebrows raised, a look of slight surprise in his expression, tilting his head at Nico. Unaware of exactly what his blunder had been, he decided to continue talking. “How did you choose the colours?”
    --------------------------
    Or, when Will realises Nico doesn't know about pride flags, he decides it is his responsibility to show him. A slowburn containing Star Wars, haunted houses, and a copious amount of friendship bracelet making.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Ohhhhh there’s so much I could say here. Such accurate characterization of Blood of Olympus era Nico and Will, where Nico’s still grumpy and still learning to be kind to himself and let himself enjoy things. And a surprise Mrs. O’Leary appearance, too! I love being reminded that she shares a bond with Nico, too, not just Percy.

    And what a wonderful way to end it :’). In my heart of hearts, I KNOW it to be true that Will and Nico took their relationship really slow in the start, kinda fumbling around and just holding hands for a while. There’s no dramatic first kiss moment, and certainly not this quickly. Phenomenal story!!

    (And shout-out to the dramatic irony of Will rolling his eyes about how he’s never gonna see his dad in the next year. Extremely clever, op, it had me giggling like mad.)

    Summary

    "I do not think this will hurt me," Sparrow says cheerily, and he takes a step forwards. "I am very strong."

    "You were sad earlier," the Doodler says sadly, but it doesn't move away from Sparrow again, which he considers a great win. "I could feel it. I don't like it when any of you are sad."

    Oh. Sparrow pauses. "I was sad earlier," he confirms, and he puts on his bravest face, schools his expression into a beaming smile. "But this is making me feel better! It is not every day one gets to talk with the creature living inside of them."

    "I guess so…" the Doodler still doesn't pull away, and eventually Sparrow is able to reach out his hand, taking one fog-and-mist hand in his own. It doesn't feel like regular fog– instead, it feels warm, moist but solid, and it sends shivers down Sparrow's spine.

    ~~~

    or: a week after Faerun, sparrow is drawn into the doodler's void where he proceeds to befriend the eldritch horror living inside him. things escalate from there.

    Summary

    “Nico! Hi!”

    “He-ey, Will,” Nico says, voice cracking badly on every vowel. Annabeth shoves her face into Percy’s shoulder, body shaking.

    “I didn’t know you were coming! I thought you were in the arena all day.”

    Nico shrugs, shoes scuffing the floor. “I am. I just — uh, I got hurt? So. Came to see you.”

    Will’s beam is so bright it hurts to look at, a little. Percy squints and realises that’s not just the excitement, actually — he really is glowing, faintly. His hands flap slightly at his sides.

    “Well, you’re in the right place, then.”

    “Yeah.”

    Neither of them say anything for a minute, rocking back on their heels. Will watches Nico closely, biting his lip. Nico looks resolutely at the floor.

    “We weren’t this bad,” Annabeth whispers, “were we?”

    Percy shakes his head. “Nah, there’s no way.”

    “Gods. It’s so — I don’t know whether to smile or take a dip in the Lethe. It’s embarrassing and endearing at the same time.”

    “You wanna come with me to Roanoke?”

    “Yes,” Nico says automatically. Will grins, and he flushes. “I mean, I guess if I have to. Loser.”

    “Ever so grateful, Neeks.”

    “You should be.”

    He keeps his voice prim and superior, attempting to uphold his image, and since he is delusional he convinces himself he’s successful. Will, though, is entirely undeterred, lazy smile still on his face and arms stretched above his head, the picture of unbothered. A sliver of skin shows where the hem of his shirt rises and Nico ignores it. He doesn’t even glance at it, or the glint of Will’s belly-button piercing, at all. Nor is he aware of Will’s shorts riding up, or the curve of his calves as he crosses his legs. All of these things go unnoticed. Obviously.

    “I have a proposal for you, if you’re done checking me out.”

    Nico shoves his flaming face in his knees. “Did you know that in all the corners of the Earth I have been to, I’ve only encountered three things uglier than you?”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I’m so blown away by this! The characterization is perfect. I feel like solangelo is one of those ships where the fandom tends to portray one or both the characters as either WAY too cheerful, or WAY too angsty; but THIS fic shows what they are at their core: acerbic and teasing and sweet and angry and playful and subtle. They flow with one another so well in this fic, and I’m especially a huge fan of the way they both sense the mutual romantic tension. This fic makes a point to avoid cliche and contrivance in favor of painting something compelling and realistic that makes us feel genuinely connected to the characters.

    If I wasn’t already a firm believer in the “Will and Nico knew their attraction was mutual even before they acted on it” headcanon prior to my reading this fic, then I certainly would be now.
