Not Canon Compliant, Dick Grayson is Mayor of Blüdhaven, Bodyguard, Exes, Past Secret Relationship, Getting Back Together, Established Relationship, DILF Dick Grayson, DILF Jason Todd, POV Dick Grayson, JayDick Summer Exchange 2021, Sexual Tension

Summary: She thumbed through a few resumes as they waited for the last interviewee to arrive. They’d been searching for a suitable bodyguard for him all day and he wasn’t sure how much more his sore muscles could take. Sitting in one place for too long after the night he had could prove to be the death of him long before this anonymous psycho ever got the chance. Maybe that was their plan all along.

Oh, hi, thank you for asking. What a good opportunity to give a State of the Fic update!

The Chaos Theory series will be updated - I haven’t abandoned it or anything, I just... have so many ideas I want to write. So, here’s what’s up with my current works in progress:

1: Jaydick exchange fic

It’s my priority right now, since it’s an exchange and I would basically die if I let my recipient down. Works are due August 9th and considering I just sent it out for first draft beta-ing... we’re in good shape :) Can’t say too much about it, though, since it’s an anonymous exchange!

2: Secret secret project

I’m writing something to gift to someone who has no idea I’m doing it (or maybe they do. It’s entirely possible I’m not sneaky at all.) It’s a long one, though. I’m at 47k and still going on draft 1. So this is where the bulk of my writing time is spent right now. I’ll be finishing this before I turn my focus to Chaos Dick. Which is not to say Chaos Dick plot isn’t still bubbling away in the back of my mind...

3: Chaos Theory

Mmm ok here’s my plan for Chaos Dick: the next updates will be a series of short one-shots to bridge The Breaking of Dick Grayson to the next major plotty installment, the working title of which is Per Aspera. That’ll let me get everyone in place for what I think I want to do (Per Aspera’s plot outline right now is... fluid.) and address a few character moments I didn’t have time for in Breaking.

I’ve started the one-shots, but I’m not going to post any of them until I have all of them finished because I keep surprising myself with certain details that mean I have to go back change things in one of the others.

Here, have a little deliberately vague snippet from one of the bridge pieces, since you asked nicely :)

"This is a terrible idea."

My JayDick Summer Exchange gift for @crumpeting/@firefrightfic, whose Talon Dick and Civilian Jason prompt, where Jason has no clue what’s going on, inspired this!

The exchange, @jaydicksummerexchange, was run by @pentapoda and @paperempires, and you bet that I’m going to post my stuff before the author names are revealed now that there are new rules for artists. :] (I’m getting so much love on the AO3 fic, I gotta give close ups!)

Link to AO3 (there are 1k extra words of fic).

Bonus aftermath:

There’s a treasure hunt in Easter Eggs in close ups under the cut.

Sign-Ups for the 2021 JayDick Summer Exchange close Saturday, May 29.

Thinking about joining the JayDick exchange but not sure how to get an AO3 account? Contact the Mod Squad for an invite here, through the exchange email ([email protected]) or in the JayDick discord.

Building that Support Team

Looking to participate in the exchange but enjoy the editing/cheerleading side of fandom? Or do you prefer the challenge of flexibility and immediate deadlines? In the upcoming weeks, the JayDick Exchange Beta Rally and Pinch Hitter sign-ups will open. Look forward to those posts!

Need a Little Inspiration?

Sometimes distilling all that Dick and Jason goodness into a request can be an intimidating part of signing up for the Exchange. But don’t worry, JayDick Week has you covered.

This year’s JayDick Week Team created a prompt list crafted by the fabulous mind of the JayDick community. Awaiting you is a hand-selected, well-seasoned, artisanal list that includes short prompts, favorite tropes, and AU ideas perfect for spring-boarding your musings into a prompt for your future giftee. You can also use them as tags to ensure that casefic writing and/or bobbi soxer!Jason artist matches with you.
