And sometimes fanfiction is, ‘Watch me do a fucking KICK FLIP off this cool sentence!! Also here's some sex'

Some fanfics are beautifully written and I love them.

A d sometimes I'm in the mood for my little precious gremlins to just do cool stuff and have a good time and be all around awesome and that's fun and I can have an uncomplicated good time reading that. Are my gremlins overpowered? Maybe. Do I care? HECK NO!

Sort of like ‘Everyone, this is Alfred. I work for him’ but even more drenched in an overly dramatic narrative and keeping Alfred anonymous for obvious reasons. Why would Batman work for Bruce Wayne’s butler, hmm?

Imagine. Batman is forced to bring the League back to the Batcave in order for them to have somewhere to hide and plan their next move against the Big Bad they are facing. When they drag themselves out of the river that runs through the cave (no way in HELL Bruce is letting them use the front door) the bat-computer’s monitor immediately flickers on and someone starts speaking through it.

“So…you’re back. And you’ve brought…guests, Bat?”

The League all turn to look at the monitor but there’s no video, only audio. They turn back to Batman expectantly.

The Bat seems to straighten up to answer back, his shoulders sinking away from his chin, arms straight at his side like a soldier. Even with no video feed of whoever the voice is, Batman sorting himself out implies that they’re being watched nonetheless. Like the voice expects something of him…

“For the purposes of a mission, Mr A. Everyone, this is Mr A. I work for him.” And they all mumble their hellos on queue. The monitor speaks again.

“Very well, but they are not to come here again once your mission is complete, is that clear?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Very good.” And the audio feed cuts off.

Flash is the first to speak.

“I didn’t think anyone could get creepier than you, Bats, but Mr A takes the cake. What do you even do for him?”

“Whatever I want, really, so long as I come back alive by the end of the night.”

“He doesn’t make you…kill people, does he…?”

“No, of course not, he keeps me well fed.” And that’s where that conversation ends.

Op GETS IT- if BATMAN is B, who the HELL is A?!?!?!?!?

Timbin/Agent C knew how to menace people in DEWMA 😚

"What, you think I'm crazy? You aren't ready to meet my boss."

"Look, I'm the good cop. Think about that."

(Bart CAN throw tim, btw, he's strong and also, even if he wasn't he can easily use speed to help-)

Kon yeets tim, bart zips after tim like a dog playing fetch and catches him before he falls, then Tim uses him as a high speed spring-board to tackle flying enimes then and on his way down he makes a motion for cassie to launch him in another direction.

No one but the team knows where tim's gonna appear next, the enemies are terrified because robin is throwing exploding birdarangs left and right, and bashing their brains in with a FUCKING METAL STICK AT HIGH-SPEED

Tim's having the time of his life, cackling meniacly like an evil pin-ball. Dick watches from O's computers, cheering for tim, very proud of his influence on his little brother

Core four start throwing tim at every opportunity.

That thing on the shelf is up too high? No, Tim doesn't need a step-stool, bart's right there he'll just give tim a little boost. AND Tim gets to do a cool trick on the way down.

Tim doesnt feel like walking up all these stairs? Kon. Kon come here, i need you to yeet me to the top of these stairs itll be quicker for the both of us.

It roughly translates to: "Back then we were standing at the abyss. Today we are one step farther."

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and the word syndication here is referring to broadcasting or transferring or otherwise sharing information. I first encountered it as a way to aggregate all of the news sites and blogs I wanted to read that were scattered all over the internet.

You might already be familiar with tumblr blogs that start with ao3feed - these are automated blogs that create a new post every time a work is posted in the feed(s) that they track. You can follow those tumblr blogs and learn about new works that way. They've subscribed to the RSS feed so that you don't have to.

If you wish that you could get push notifications from AO3 on your phone instead? The RSS feed will allow you to do that. You just need to get an account with an RSS reader first. Here are a few that are free:

Feedly 

NewsBlur 

Inoreader 

They each have slightly different features, so depending on the search and filter options you want or how you like your information displayed, you might like one better than the others. All three work on the web, on iOS, and on Android.

Once you have a feed reader, tap on the RSS Feed button at the top of the tag results page that you want to get notifications for and open up the XML file. If it downloads instead, try opening in a new tab or just copying the link address. You'll want to grab a url that looks like this: https://archiveofourown.org/tags/9835/feed.atom (this is the url for Kirk/Spock, if you're curious)

That feed.atom ending on the url is what you're looking for. When you open your RSS reader and create a new feed, you can use that url to set it up.

Once it's set up, you'll be able to see everything currently available in that tab, listed out in your reader. Just like the ao3feed tumblr blogs, the reader will show you the title, author, summary and tags for each fic, and then it will provide you with a link to read the work on AO3.

It will also notify you every time a new work is posted to that tag. You can adjust your notifications to suit you.

Not every tag on AO3 has an RSS feed, but it's worth checking out if you've never tried it before.

Danny, an innocent bystander, walking by: Uncle? Is that kid playing with his imaginary friends-

Tim appears at his side faster then the Flash: You said uncle. So now you're my uncle. Hello. I love you.

Danny: *Screams*

Tim: My dad does the same thing when I sneak up on him. You must be my uncle on my father's side! This is great! I'm going to tranquilize you now, but when you wake up, you'll be home.

"Danny, he obviously needs his aunts and uncle in his life. I would have given anything for some support when I was his age- I would have given everything for you to have some support at his age. Mira would love to have a cute nephew!"

The boy tilted his head, "Mira?"

Jazz smiled down at him. "Mira is our half sister. Her name is Danielle because her dad is obsessed with our mom and she decided to bully him. His last name is 'Vlad' so Danny called him 'Vladimir'. She decided the female version was 'Vladimira' and she goes by 'Mira' for short. She hates her name, so it was a good compromise."

"So I don't have to go by Timothy?"

The boy watched as Danny cringed. "Definitely not. You can go by Tim, Timmy, or anything else you'd like. You can make a new name based off yours like Mira did, or you can make something new. It's up to you."

The boy smiled for the first time since Danny had woken up, a true, face splitting smile. "I like Tim. Please call me Tim."
