Fandoms: Superman - All Media Types, Superboy (Comics)
22 Jun 2023

Summary
“You’re invulnerable…” he whispers, but it’s clear that fact falters in his mind.
Confusion writes its way into the lines on Conner’s face and Clark takes a step back as though physically pushed.
“You’re not invulnerable.”
It is a statement, dull like stone.
“N-no, sir.”
— 🦸 —
OR: Conner's not as invincible as Clark thought. Suddenly, he's a lot more human.

[PODFIC] it's the feeling of you that makes me feel safest by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for browneyedgirl6
Fandoms: 9-1-1 (TV)

Summary
“Hi Mads.”
“Hey, is everything ok? You’re up late.”
Oh sure, I just hate being alone, and I’m worried that something happened to Eddie, so I’m just sitting here spiraling, just your typical night.
“Yea, just-just can’t sleep. And I—wanted to hear your voice.”
I needed to hear your voice because you’re the only other person in the world who can calm me down and make me feel safe when the love of my life isn’t around.
He could almost feel Maddie’s smug smile through the phone, though she decided to give him a break, changing topics.
“Do you remember when you were about seven, I was sixteen, and I snuck you out to the movies to go see She’s All That?”
-or-
Buck has some late night conversations with Maddie and Eddie

[PODFIC] carte blanche by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for Goldmonger

Summary
He was face-to-cowl with Batman now, separated by a diplomatic six or so feet. Clark could be reasonable about this. He could.
“Robin is finished,” he said, folding his arms. “From now on, that boy stays at home at night. If he doesn’t, I will see to it that he is taken away from you.” Clark let his fingers curl into fists under his arms, loose. He was being firm, not threatening, the way one is with a child who doesn’t know not to touch a hot stove.
Batman didn’t even twitch.

[PODFIC] Curl by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for SilverSkiesAtMidnight
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types

Summary
Even without context, as always Dick is enthralling in his storytelling. “What’s happening?” Tim asks, fascinated to know what’s got Dick so animated this time.
It’s the smallest of expressions.
Dick blinks at him, like for a moment, he forgot Tim was there.
Then he’s twisting in his chair to face him, eyes bright with the promise of a new audience. “Okay, so - remember how I told you about my new manager at the studio? Well get this - he made this new rule that audience members aren’t allowed to wear hats when they come to see the kids’ recitals. It’s part of the ‘audience dress code’, a thing which one hundred percent he just made up himself - ”
Tim watches Dick attentively. He laughs at all the right points. He even lets out a small gasp when he knows it’s expected.
And it’s good. It’s a good story, and Dick is so happy to tell it.
***
The frustrating thing when he gets like this is that it’s never triggered by anything real.

And without dissembling, Jason says, “I think they fucked that kid up, B.”
[Jack and Janet die. As things get weirder and weirder, it feels like Tim might be at the center of the unfolding conspiracy.]

[PODFIC] Heart Like a Seashell (A Song Inside) by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for SilverSkiesAtMidnight
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
13 May 2023
Tags
Summary
Bruce floomps down hard onto the sand before the other mer has any time to flee. He lets his tentacles spread out around him, his bulk fully blocking off the rocks, leaving no easy path for escape.
The rocky ledge is so close to the ground that he has to bend over to peer under it to look at the cowering mer.
Huge blue eyes stare back at him, bright with terror and fury.
It’s not a shark mer.
It’s one of the massacred pod.
A fry, tiny, not even the full length of one of Bruce’s tentacles.

[PODFIC] the antidote we look so hard to find by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for Scarlet_Ribbons
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
07 May 2023

Summary
“Too much,” Tim croaks around a mouthful of something, like he’s pulling teeth. He doesn’t want to speak (his voice is too loud, too sharp), but he doesn’t have a choice, because someone is banging on the door and he thinks they’re going to break in and find him vulnerable in a pile of clothes. It’s a horrifying thought no matter how Tim spins it. Gala Timothy Drake is long gone; it’s just Tim Drake and whatever hell this has to be—
[Tim has a meltdown. Bruce has... a way to help.]

Summary
He'll feel guilty about it later. In fact, he'll feel fucking anguished about it when Eddie's sitting at Buck's bedside, his face buried in his hands and his breaths synonymous with the unsteady beeping of an EKG machine. He's never felt so fucking ashamed in his life as he is in that disconsolate hospital room.

[PODFIC] requiem for the forsaken by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for Scarlet_Ribbons
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
28 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
“Listen, Jason,” Tim says frankly down the line, and Jason tenses at the use of his real name. That doesn’t happen. Not casually, at least. “I’m pretty sure I’m going to die, so I need you to stay on the line with me.”
Jason short-circuits for a beat, and then runs the words back. “What?”
Tim takes a deep breath, and it’s steady. “I’m going to die,” he repeats, “and I don’t want to be alone, so please stay on the line.”

[PODFIC] Echoes of You by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for SilverSkiesAtMidnight
Fandoms: DCU
12 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
Graveyard mud, heavy and dark, clinging to a stained and torn suit. One shoe missing, a leg bent awkwardly and blood staining a bare foot.
Milk white skin beneath the mud, black hair hanging in muddy clumps around his ears. Blue eyes staring back at him, animal-bright and dilated in the brief moment before he flinches back from the light with a cry of pain that stabs through Jason to the soul.
His shaking hand closes around the flashlight before he can even think about it, cutting off the piercing beam and letting it spill out in shards between his fingers. For a petrifying moment as his eyes readjust, he’s sure that when he looks again, there will be nothing there.
“Tim?” he whispers.
The lean and ragged figure, tiny, god he’s so small, lowers his hands away from his face, away from his eyes wide and glittering almost silver in the moonlight.
Hands, mud-covered and torn. The red of his shredded fingernails is sickeningly dark in the broken light.
He’s vomiting before he even feels the bile making its way up his throat.

[PODFIC] wither on the shore by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for Scarlet_Ribbons
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
02 Jan 2023

Summary
“Replacement.”
Tim freezes, gaze still locked on Jack’s prone, silent form sprawled out on the floor, and pulls the phone back to look at the number.
It’s kind of funny, he thinks hazily. Of course he would accidentally kill his dad and then mistakenly call Jason, of all people

[PODFIC] I Start to Dream (I'm a Mechanical Thing) by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for Scarlet_Ribbons
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
31 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
“You need to get better so that I can kick your ass properly,” Jason tells him, and Tim puffs out this low, long-suffering sigh.
“You have no idea how to be normal about this, do you?” Tim says, so matter-of-fact that it floors Jason, and what is this, some sort of impromptu therapy session in the wake of casual attempted murder?
“If you don’t shut the fuck up and eat your soup,” Jason says darkly. Fucking Robins.

[PODFIC] lost but not forgotten by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow)

Summary
"Sophie's rotation brought her to the 118 twice a week for a twelve-hour shift each time. It wasn't long, but it was enough to get to know everyone a little better. She got to see pictures of Chimney's kid- who was apparently Buck's niece? Sophie didn't try to make any more connections, she was already confused as to the family tree of this firehouse. And of course, Sophie could not go a single hour on shift without hearing about Eddie, Buck's late partner. Sophie wondered if perhaps it wasn't healthy for Buck to talk about Eddie like he was still alive, but who was she to interfere in his grieving process?"
OR
A floater at the 118 thinks that she's replacing Buck's missing partner. His dead partner.

[PODFIC] Believe, You and Me (It's More Than Drums) by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for SilverSkiesAtMidnight
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics)
15 Nov 2022

Summary
He presses further into the younger boy’s space. “Let’s get one thing straight, Replacement,” he snarls lowly, and he knows his eyes are glowing an awful, predatory green. “I am very dead. And if I have anything to say about it, Batman isn’t ever going to be happy again.”
His face is tight with pain, but he’s doing a valiant job at controlling his ragged breathing, his blood a steady drip drip drip onto the tile between them. His eyes meet Jason’s unflinchingly, and Jason can see the green glow reflected in them. He expects begging, bargaining, even some of that trademarked Robin sass that Dick seems to have passed along with the mantle.
“Who did this to you, Jason?”

[PODFIC] should've left me way back (by the roadside) by TheyReadWhatWeSow (TheyReapWhatWeSow) for Scarlet_Ribbons
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
03 Nov 2022
Tags
Summary
Tim leans back, pale-faced and sweating profusely at this point. His breaths come out in little hitches, eyes wide like plates as he stares up toward the moon, and tears that he doesn’t even seem to notice trail down over the curves of his white cheeks.
“Won’t be as bad if I d-die, not like you, but-”
Freeze frame. Rewind. What the everliving ungodly fuck did this kid just say?

[Jason comes upon an injured Tim who’s too sure of his own impending death.Not very long ago, this would’ve been cause to celebrate.]

Summary
One might wonder, who had placed the gallows in here, but it was Gotham, so the question was naught. Some evil man or woman had probably thought of a crime involving the wood and a whole lot of tragedy. It might have been built many years ago, or maybe just last month, but now it laid forgotten in the middle of a city haunted by death.
OR: During his war against Batman Jason also tries to rid Gotham of the pest that is Two-Face - the gallows seem appropriate after what Harvey did to another Robin a long time ago.
