dceu_kinkmeme | Discussion/Writing Post

Nonnies I have an important question: How is Clark's metabolism when it comes to alcohol or drugs? Is he like Steve Rogers and thus doomed to eternal soberity? Does his Krytonian biology react differently to drugs than human?

(Can he even get sick? Take Advil? What's his immunity like??)

In short, if playboy!Bruce wants to butter him up with a couple glasses of wine, would Clark feel the effect at all? Can anyone even roofie Superman?? Inquiring minds want to know!

/nonnie hasn't read enough comics and has no clue where to look.

It seems no one have used the post for writing yet? I'm stuck at a family dinner surrounded by screaming children and it seems as good a time as any, so I'll start.

***

Clark hears it, a quiet exhale, a considering, promising sound that somehow reverberates all the way up his spine, giving him goosebumps despite the fact that they're indoors in a crowded kitchen, with the oven on no less. Not for the first time that evening he wishes his hearing weren't so sensitive -- there is simply no way he can ignore Bruce's muscles shifting under his shirt as he follows Clark's every move, his lips parting whenever Clark is turned or stretched or bent at a certain angle, his heart speeding up like a siren call. If Bruce's smirk the few times Clark catches his eyes is anything to go by, the man knows exactly what he's doing. Clark has had to turn away every time, face hot, reminding himself over and over that they have company.

Very stern, very rowdy, very superhuman company.

A family gathering, his mother has said, to celebrate the return of my boy. Three whole years have passed for everyone but him, Clark is not going to pretend that it doesn't hurt to see Lois intertwining her fingers with Diana's, his engagement ring held on a chain round her neck as a keepsake. He also can't, however, pretend that is doesn't hurt less compared to when he woke up six months ago. Perhaps because he didn't spend a second of those six months alone -- just not with the company he would expect.

The last chunk of carrot splits neatly into four under his knife. Clark looks up at his mother's puttering back, looks over at Alfred's dismissive wave, casts his gaze around one more time, desperate for something else to chop--

--and finds none, obviously. Bruce is leaving his seat by the table, throwing one last look over his shoulder before disappearing into the dark hallway. Clark despairs. It is Thanksgiving, the whole League plus his ex-girlfriend are in various degrees of inebriation all over his childhood home, here he is trying to be a good born-again Superman, and Bruce is practically taunting him to misbehave?

Clark really, really hates to be underestimated.

(Gdi I just wanted porn, why.)

Clarke Kent floated, eyes wild and lost, unheeding of the onslaught a summer storm was putting her under. She wore the same dress they buried her in, now clinging to her and transparent like a second skin. Muddy water dripped in a stream from her socked feet, her hands were dirtied, broken-nailed and possibly bleeding. She looked half-feral, as if despite the innitial knocking she had no idea where she was nor why. If not for the texture of the dress, the very real drops of water from her dress Belle could feel on her hand, Belle would deem Clarke another apparition her brain cooked up to torture her.

Belle stood there for god knew how long, calling Clarke by her name, her moniker, revoking Lois Lane and Martha, telling her about her job at the Planet, her home in Kansas. Gradually, she realized it was not the content of her speed, but her stabilizing heartbeat that drew Clarke's attention. She saw it, Clark's finger twitching, her lips miming counting the beats.

Belle stood back, took several deep breaths.

So, question time! In BVS, we all know Bruce slashed Clark on the cheek with the Kryptonite (knife play, kinky!) and it was still there when he found Lex and the enhanced-Zod, but do you think it's permanent and is still around when Clark comes back?

Can I ask the people who know more about the dynamic/friendship of Bruce and Clark, specifically in the comicsverse versus the various animated movies? Like, are they really opposites or just two sides of the same coin, as the saying goes? In a lot of the fics I've read so far, they're best friends, but is it different in other mediums?

So I was looking at Bruce's house on google maps (link: https://goo.gl/maps/qQu1p7RuGiT2) and for the life of me can't see a bed? IIRC, in the movie the bed was in a corner by a deck, so is it where the oval table is in google maps?

Also, what a depressing house, amirite? There doesn't seem to be a bathroom or kitchen (either on the top floor or the batcave), so does Alfred deliver all his meals? And where does Alfred live now anyways? Thoughts on this, anon?

In my head canon the closed-off wooden area is a bathroom, and I'd replace the second seating area with a minibar/kitchen thing. And put the bed at the far end, because why put the bed by the front door?

Side note: has anyone seen the artbook for the film, and is it worth checking out for concept art/set details? The movie magazine seriously disappointed me on that front.

The sparring and damsel fills have made me think of a newly revived Clark, depowered and feeling a bit useless, a bit lost, cranky in the way someone normal would feel with a cold, because going from invulnerability and super strength to normal must make you feel weak and slow, like everything's much harder.

Oh and Lois hugged him so hard and they cried and cuddled but in the end she gave him his ring back because she'd moved on.

Anyway cue Bruce, having a total nonreaction (that speaks VOLUMES) when 1st seeing Clark and seeing behind the easy smiles that Clark is lonely as fuck, feels particularly lost. They spend time together and somehow get involved, and then down the line Bruce makes Clark think that he did it all out of guilt (for trying to kill him, for his actual death), so that Clark breaks it off. Because Clark is doing better, he shouldn't have Bruce dragging him down. Which is Bruce's way of saying that he's fallen for hard for Clark and he shouldn't have nice things, ever.

Hey all you lovely peeps out there, have any of you watched the Ultimate Cut yet?

I'm that anon who commented on that post and while my au isn't necessarily based on the movie, I just wanted to share it with you. It's really awful and I am a terrible, awful person for thinking of it, but I needed to get it out of my head, so...here it is.

Bruce winds up in a hostage situation where the bad guy robs a bank and decides that one of the hostages is too pretty to let go. So Bruce offers to take their place, so bad guy takes him and lets the other hostages go. Telling them not to breathe a word or he’ll kill them. Then, a few hours later, he lets Bruce go. And Batman begins just to be a little more reckless, but nothing too remarkable.

A couple weeks later, there’s a Bruce Wayne sex tape released on the internet. The fallout is terrible and Bruce just stays in during the day while everyone else just gives him disapproving looks and think’s he’s gone too far. And Batman during the night gets even more reckless and doesn’t protect himself as much as he used to.

And one night, while attempting to save someone, their blood mixes with his.

Then, after several months of not feeling well and it affecting his life enough to make him actually run some tests, he figures out he’s got AIDS and starts testing out medication and things.

In the meantime, his personal relationships have pretty much deteriorated, so there’s not really one to tell and things just keep building up and building up, until one day, one of the batfam stumble across an uncut version of a video from the day of the bank robbery in Batman’s files.

Anyone know of other active DC kinkmemes? I've got some Batman comic prompts I'd like to share, but don't know where to share them.

So, imagine if either future Bruce or Clark traveled back in time to relive the events of BVS. My idea is having their future self take over their past self, but having two versions of them would be interesting too!

My time travel au idea was basically just future Bruce coming back and winding up in a coma because he grabbed the spear and stabbed Doomsday before Clark could. And then once he wakes up, Clark/Lois/Diana are all super protective because someone has to save that self sacrificing idiot.

What are your time travel au ideas? Let's discuss!

I WROTE THIS WHILE LISTENING TO THE BVS OPENING AND LET ME TELL YOU, THAT WAS A BAD IDEA.

The gun glinted in the light, held with trembling hands. Blood splashed to the floor, running down from the right corner of his mouth.

“You still wouldn’t kill him” he snarled, fingers tightening on the trigger. “You branded, killed all those people, but you couldn’t even kill him.”

“Jason” Batman said, voice a cracking growl. “Jason”

He took a step forward, hesitated and then in one swift motion, tugged off his gloves and unbuckled the cape. Jason’s eyes widening as he removed the armor piece by piece, until he stood in his underclothes, cowl still on his face.

“What are you doing” Jason said, voice robbed of breath.

Finally, he got to his knees, tugging off the cowl and spreading his arms wide.

“I failed you,” he said, voice flayed apart. “I let you die when it should have been me. Take your vengeance.”

“No” Jason whispered, gun slipping from limp fingers. “What are you doing?”

“I let you die” Bruce repeated, further exposing the vulnerable parts of his body. “Take your pound of flesh, I am yours.”

Jason fell to his knees, hands gripping the earth, tears running down his face.

“I hated you” he said. “For the longest time, I hated you."

“I deserve it” Bruce said. He was crying too, tears reflecting harsh moonlight.

Finally, Jason looked up, looked at Bruce keeling there, pieces of the Bat scattered around him.

“Dad”

Then he was up, knocking him over until they smashed against the dirt. Bruce’s hands grabbed his wrists, fingers wrapping against the pulse points.

“Jason” he said. “My son, it’s gonna be okay.”

“Yes,” Jason cried, embracing him. “I know”

Reading through the whole thread about other kinkmemes, I noticed that some people were talking about the eternal problem of getting to know people in tumblr times, so I was wondering - would you guys be interested in a friending meme? I do want to keep the kinkmeme itself mostly anonymous, but that doesn't mean we can't get to know each other in namespace as well, follow each other on tumblr/LJ/DW/whatnot etc.

You can now find the prompt post for all non-DCEU prompts here: http://dceu-kinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/1802.html

If there are any issues with the post, anything that needs clarifying, any typos, or anything else I might have overlooked, please let me know.

Do you guys want a separate fill post or not? I think it won't be necessary since I don't think the non-DCEU fills will start to drown out the DCEU fills, but if people prefer to have things separated, that's fine by me.

Potential exchange mod here. So here's what I've got so far, based on my own ideas and some input on FFA:

1) The exchange should start at the earliest in August, when the BvS DVD is out in more countries and Suicide Squad will be out in most countries.

2) Nominations can be for both characters and relationships (& and /).

3) You can nominate characters that have not yet appeared in the DCEU, if - for example - you want fic about how BvS!Bruce would interact with Dick. In those cases requests should have a clear relation to the DCEU, though. Maybe non-DCEU characters can only be nominated in relationship tags with actual DCEU characters? So you could nominate relationship: Bruce & Dick, but not just character: Dick? I'm not sure yet how exactly to handle that.

4) I am planning to do hand-matching. People can offer and request optional tags (like fluff or identity porn or casefic or whatnot), I will use that and other optional details/letters for as-ideal-as-possible matches, but you're only guaranteed to match on a character/pairing you offered/requested. Does that make sense?

5) I am willing to go with a minimum offer and request of 1, under the assumption that nobody will abuse this and exclusively request Zod/the stewardess on Wonder Woman's plane. If someone ends up unmatchable, I will contact them and ask them to add more offers/requests. I just don't want to force the bunch of Bruce/Clark shippers we'll probably have to offer or request stuff they don't really want when there will be no problem whatsoever to match them on their preferred ship. While hand-matching, I could try to match people on rarer ships when possible so it doesn't end up being all Bruce/Clark. Do you think that would work?

Other stuff I'm not sure about yet:

1) Exact schedule

2) Name. Does anyone have ideas? I'm awful at names and if nobody has a better idea, it might well end up being called DCEU Exchange.

3) Should it be only fic or fic and art? I'd like to include art as well, but I'm afraid it might make matching even harder.

That got a bit TLDR. Any suggestions, anons? Anything you don't like and would like to see done differently?

In celebration of the new prompt post, have some ambiguous snippets in which BVS Batman and Comics Batman meet.

1.

“You killed people,” the other Batman said, from his perch at the far end of the roof. “You branded them.”

Bruce frowned at him.

“They’re like weeds,” he said, “you have to rip them out by the roots to prevent them from growing again.”

The other Batman stared at him, eyes sharp.

“How long ago did Jason die?” He said quietly.

Bruce stood up, pulling out the grappling hook.

“Long enough,” he said shortly. “Let’s go”

2.

“There is still hope in this world you know,” Bruce said as they stood before a gravestone embedded into the ground. “He taught me that.”

Next to him, Batman shifted, stepping up to look at the grave.

“How long has he been dead?”

Bruce closed his eyes, the years sinking down on him, stones settling at the bottom of a churning river.

“A year”

Because I noticed this meme didn't have one yet. Simply, post a fic and tell us why you like it. I'll start.

[Complete] Ghosts That We Knew - Damian Wayne dies and protects his family as a ghost.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9150372/1/Ghosts-That-We-Knew

I like this one because it involves pretty much everyone and everyone gets enough screen time and Damian's relationships with everyone are well written and from what I've read so far, it's starting to gain non-slice of life plot which is a plus for me.

Fear toxin makes Bruce think Alfred's dead. This is what I have so far.
-

Jason snapped awake as the window slid open. Cold air blew through the room and he shivered, tugging the blanket more firmly around him. He forced his eyes to slide shut as a shape slipped inside, shutting the window gently. Uneven footsteps neared his bed and he could hear unsteady breathing.

“Jason” whispered a voice full of pain and fear. “Jason”

Bruce, Jason thought. What the fuck is he doing here?

He stayed still, keeping his breathing even and heart-rate steady.

A hand touched his forehead, trembling as it skimmed down his face to hover over his nose and mouth.

“Jason” Bruce said again, voice broken and Jason grabbed his hand, sitting up.

“Bruce,” he said. “What are you doing here?”

“I,” Bruce said, stumbling over the words. “I wanted…”

His voice trailed off and Jason switched on the bedside lamp.

Bruce’s suit was torn in several places and blood dripped down his right arm. Water trickled down from underneath the cowl and it took Jason a long moment to realize it was tears.

“What happened?” He said gripping the cowl and lifting it off.

Underneath, Bruce’s eyes were red rimmed and unfocused, eyes darting back and forth around the room. His eyes flicked towards Jason every few seconds, trying to focus on him.

“Bruce,” Jason said again, tone softening. “What happened?”

Bruce slumped to the floor, leaning against the side of the bed. More tears dripped down his face and he didn’t speak for a long time.

Finally, in a quiet voice. “Alfred died”

Shit, Jason thought, then caught sight of the calendar , at today’s date circled in red. It was the anniversary of his death, and now-

“Shit” Jason said.
-

And then eventually after Bruce falls asleep or something, he manages to call the Manor and determine that Alfred isn't actually dead.

I haven't found anyone to discuss theories with, so...what do you all think and what theories do you have?

Completely by accident, I was browsing through the kinkmeme the other day wondering how long it takes for a prompt to get fills, what prompt has the most fills... you know, those weird things that you do when its 3am in the morning and you've been painting all day.

I've started compiling relevant info on the main prompt post for the kinkmeme, in handy spreadsheet format.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H_fnqa1JlP-8FTUdiqkAcxy-hBoUeazDWfab1A1Tr2Y/edit?usp=sharing

May have some interesting stats once I finish adding all of the prompts. I'm on page 2 right now. *wipes brow*

Art!anons, I'm in desperate need of some good hand painting/rendering tutorials. Any style, any program (photoshop preferable). I've been bashing my head over a painting and the knuckles just don't look right, and distress is setting in. This painting may be out the door soon, but i'm tired of not being able to paint hands right.

Here it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gglkYMGRYlE

Hey fellow author-anons & reader-anons, just had a question about fills. If an author has written a fairly long-ish piece, do you prefer if they post it in sections or post it all at once? As an author, do you like to post in small sections so you can focus on the section you're writing, or do you like to get it all done in one go (if possible)? Does it change depending on what you're writing, or what your goals are?

Curious to know what other anons think!

Here we go! I threw together a rule post: https://dceu-exchange.dreamwidth.org/481.html

And a tag set plus an AO3 collection (which mostly has the same stuff as the rule post): http://archiveofourown.org/collections/dceu_exchange1/profile

I'm still fiddling with the exact settings on the collection, but I'll figure it out in time.

Any thoughts? Did I forget anything important? Is there anything you don't like about the current set-up? Nominations aren't supposed to open for another week, so there's still time to change things.

I'm curious what other fans favorite kinks are.
