ARTBLOCK IS HOLDING ME HOSTAGE.

(because i missed them, and I need to consume them again)

Batlantern Has An Age Difference! (Not Massive but you know, kinda noticeable.)

— Younger Hal x Older Bruce!

— For this one, I'd like to think that Hal is like 35-36 while Bruce is 42-44. It's not a significant gap, but I like to see silver fox bruce okay..

In Uniform Batlantern always argue.

— There's no escaping this one, the smallest of things can simply turn into an argument. They will bicker for hours, the banter gets progressively louder. Every. Single. Thing that comes out of their mouths are snarky remarks.

— The members of the JL have to keep restraining them just so they don't have to witness a murder. They're trying their best really, but every other week Bruce would comment on how inneficient Hal is with work or something.

— Eventually, the JL has made a bet pool about who would be the first to apologize. (The bets are quite high, and BatLantern hasn't apologized yet. Not in public at least)

BruceHal/Halbruce are a domestic couple.

(You cannot convince me that these two are not suckers for each other. Because they would be.)

— Surprisingly enough, Bruce is a cuddlebug! He likes to big spoon Hal.

— Hal just accepts his fate at that point, even if he tried (which he has, multiple times) he won't ever be able to get out of the hug if Bruce doesn't let him.

— They both have their issues, but they're also stubborn as hell. Sometimes, they do try to talk to each other but it's hard. They're working on it, though!

The Bat Kids enjoy Hal's company.

— They have spontaneous hangouts, Hal is like their cool uncle who won't tell on them but he will scold them for being reckless. He would still let them commit reckless acts but keep them safe(under his supervision).

— Hal's always got a small trinket for the Bats. The Bats do appreciate it, they like being seen after all the trauma.

Bruce spoils Hal

— Face it. Hal's broke and Bruce's rich. PLEASE SEE IT.

— Joking aside, Bruce would totally spoil Hal but Hal would be insistent he doesn't nedd any of those things when he desperately does.

— Hal doesn't leech off of Bruce, he's stubborn and really wants to be independent, but Bruce can't help it.

Hal has freckles!! (Personal headcannon)

— I love the idea of Bruce kissing the freckles on Hal's face.

— His freckles are splattered on his face, his shoulders, and his chest!

Batlantern arguments are always resolved in private.

— No JL member knows this, that's why their betting pool is skyrocketing.

— They don't really like public attention so they always settle their disputes privately. Until they act up again and start arguing lmao

"My journey ends when I say it can end, Bats. Don't doubt me on that."

The sky parts pleasantly. The hues of red and orange mesh together as a wonderful blend of colors. The clouds break into smaller pieces, cluster in with the larger ones and keep the sky partially clear.

The air felt humid, it was warm but not too warm and it wasn't cold, not really. The temperature felt just right. There, the two men who were lying down on the rough pavement looked up.

Hal took shallow breaths, feeling the life from his soul leave his skin. His mouth parts, his voice barely above a whisper. "Catch me if you can, Bats." He wheezed out a chuckle, struggling to stay still. He was lying on the concrete as his body was atop of Bruce's arm.

Hal couldn't turn to his side, no matter how much he struggled. It was far too painful, the blood was seeping out quick. The hit he took punctured his abdomen, ultimately piercing his organs.

Even if he couldn't face Bruce, he could feel that the man was crying. He wanted to turn to him and reach out, wanting to place a gentle hand on his face and wipe those tears away.

But, Hal didn't dawdle. He took a deep breath, as best as he could, and plastered a gentle smile across his face before speaking up again, his voice much clearer than the last time. "I never thought seeing my world end on a lovely sunset would be so.. mesmerizing, it's peaceful." His voice tinged with softness.

His hands still stained red, all he could see as he turned his head was the face of a man who truly cared about him. He gave his brightest smile yet, whispering softly.

"I love you, Spooky."

He took a deeper breath, feeling the oxygen leave him. "I hope that in another life, we both can enjoy the feeling of falling in love." He said with the remaining ounce of strength his body allowed him to exume.

"Why not this one..?"

Bruce's voice cracked. His eyes flooded as tears started streaming down his face, leaving Hal to be shocked, then, Hal's expression softened.

"You know why.."

As he smiled one last time, the soul in his eyes left slowly. His body took one last breath and stilled. Bruce held Hal's body closely towards him. Heaving out cries of agony.

"I love you too.. damnit."

(They took over my brain)

- Bruce has had to keep their schedules from intertwining because whenever they get paired up, they end up doing nothing and just start goofing around

- Hal periodically visits the mansion and knows about the Robins (and their other hero identities when they grew up). If anything, he thought it was pretty clear who they were considering they've been fighting beside them for literal years and thought the others knew too.

- Hal is a great cook, Bruce for all the skills he has can only make a decent breakfast sandwich. But whenever he does cook breakfast for Hal, Hal praises his food to be genuinely one of the most amazing things he's ever tasted.

- Whenever a rare opportunity arises that they can spend alone time together, they don't get it on. They ask each other questions that have been pestering them for the past few weeks.

- Batlantern is a married couple who's over each other's shit. They are stingy, stubborn, and argue like cats and dogs. But in civilian form, they're more domestic. They still bicker a lot, but the tension really dies down and they're more tame than in their superhero identities.

- Hal is good with children. On seperate occasions, Damian actually grew fond of Hal because he gave Alfred(the cat) a treat, without him (Damian) telling him to do so.

- Bruce is the big spoon, while Hal is the little spoon!

- Bruce doesn't use petnames, and Hal loves to use petnames!!

- Hal's petnames: Spooky, Bats, Baby, Babe

Hal, clearly exhausted and is running on half a braincell:

Bruce, who's silent most of the trip back:

Hal: You know, Spooky. What if I did something stupid.

Bruce, who's too tired to filter out what he would say: You're already stupid, I'll gladly do you.

Hal:

Bruce:

Hal:....

Bruce:...

Hal: What.

Bruce: I said what I said.

Beuce and Hal, minding their own business until some random dude starts to egg on Bruce.

Hal, who's actively trying to stop himself from punting this guy into orbit because no one, no one insults his spooky and gets away with it: I suggest you get the hell away from him, douchebag.

Random Dude: Or What? You his boyfriend or sumthin'?

Hal: Actually, I am! So I suggest you get the fuck away from my BOYFRIEND before I launch your ass into Lex Luthor's tower. (He shows his glowing ring, and that his hand is curled into a fist.)

When Hal is getting insulted:

Bruce: Would you fall in love with me aga-

Hal: Are you implying that I stopped being in love with you?! What the fuck???

Hal: I've been waiting. WAITING FOR YOUR SWEET ASS TO COME BACK HOME TO ME, AND YOU! YES YOU! HAVE THE AUDACITY TO IMPLY THAT I HAVE STOPPED LOVING YOU AFTER WAITING FOR 20. 20 FUCKING YEARS??

Bruce: Well, I thought-

Hal: You thought wrong! SO WRONG!

Hal: IF I TRULY DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD BE COMING BACK, I WOULD NOT BE HERE!RIGHT. IN. FRONT. OF. YOU.

Bruce:

Hal: [Sobbing intensely because he truly missed his spooky idiot and he's been so damn lonely having to deal with all these annoying ass suitors alone.]

Bruce is the first one to embrace Hal, and they're both just crying: I love you so much.

Birdflash as Odypen

Imagine this: Dick as Odysseus, and Wally as Penelope.

MODERN (DC COMICS) AU:

Wherein, Dick Grayson gets stuck in a time vacuum or another planet where it'd be impossible to get out of in a matter of a few years. While the Bats and Wally work together to find a way to get Dick out of there, they didn't have much luck.

Wally was known for being fast, his powers were based on that. Having to wait for 20 years before he could see Dick again taught him how to slow down. How he could enjoy the world around him and that he didn't need to always be fast.

When Dick comes back, Wally was the first to know. After all, the shift in the environment was subtle but to Wally it screamed very loud. Because he knew how Dick would make it clear when he's back.

THE ODYSSEY AU:

Wally trolls the suitors so much that they're exasperated and tired from all the things Wally makes them do. To the most ridiculous challenge he's ever given them, to being absolutely flat out annoying.

Dick, who just wants to go home back to his wife(husband) finds the sheer annoyance of the suitors to be quite understandable. But, he also hates that Wally has suitors. Could they not respect their king enough to back off? They threatened to hurt his wife(husband) and his son! How fucking dare they!

BatLantern but make it Ody and Penelope.

Objectively, Bruce would make for a great penelope and Hal for Odysseus. But! But!

What if it waz switched? Cause you know, a mission suddenly going wrong or Bruce is stuck inside a time space where it takes him forever to get out of?
