It was possibly the Bat's worst kept secret, the fact that Robin III was a little bit magic. It was a Binding Ritual. Ra’s was Binding him. These were marks that stripped the one who bore them of their Free Will, and gave that Will to someone else. Or: Tim makes a hard choice.

📝 What is one growth area you have for your writing?

Descriptions for sure! I used to really dread needing to describe an outfit or a place, but I think I got pretty good at it. I still tend to forget to write them, but when I do, It's deliberate and not just because I have to, trying to do it as quickly as possible.

💻 Do you do research for your fics? What’s the deepest dive you’ve done?

lskhflsjkdh you sure DO know. Man. I guess Tang Dynasty crop maintenance? I wanted to do how/if they do crop rotation in a specific region and learned about when they started peach farms.

Maybe also sex work? Which shouldn't be a surprise because every fandom I end up in I start researching sex work sooner or later. But I could at one point tell you specific prices for specific services in 1890s England down to the coin which. was utterly useless and accompanied by a lot of anger actually because yeah. I can tell you for what price exactly someone might sell their 12 year old daughter into prostitution.

Put My Guns In the Ground by saltsanford

Summary: The thing about finding love in a war zone, Tucker thinks, is that you never know when it’s coming.

The thing about finding love in a war zone, Wash thinks, is that you never know where it’s going.

The thing about love and sex in a warzone is that there are a million things that can go wrong, but—

As it turns out, there are also a million things that can go right.

When the Federalist and New Republic armies unite on Chorus in the face of a common enemy, they must first learn how to trust each other. Two former Freelancers, an A.I. fragment, and several Red and Blue soldiers have a thing or two to learn as well, about trust, and loyalty, and love.
