Jaykyle Enemies To Lovers Misunderstanding AU Where They Hatefuck Once During Countdown To Final Crisis

Jaykyle enemies to lovers misunderstanding AU where they hatefuck once during Countdown to Final Crisis and part ways. Jason becomes Star Sapphire from a different mechanism than usual just because he's so powered by love, and forgets to mention it to just about everyone but Carol. Cue a very confused Kyle being accosted by a bunch of curious/angry bats and/or outlaws who think the reason why Jason's struggling with his power (his magic keeps exploding in his face) is because Kyle broke his heart. (It's not, Jason just needs to learn about self-love). Upon learning that, Kyle goes through three different crises in ten minutes and decides that while he still doesn't like Jason he has to "take responsibility" and "make this right" because he thinks Jason loved him and was being defensive of Kyle's hostility and he used and ditched him, so he decides to help Jason with his powers and resolve the situation. Eventually this is what they needed to give eachother a chance and they fall in love, but god does Jason laughs his ass off when he finally learns about the misunderstanding.

Me, writing a fanfic with Steph in it: does it say she's buff did I mention the size of her biceps did I forget to talk about how she's so strong can I fit the fact she could strangle you with one hand somewhere in here it's important for the plot -

John Constantine is afraid of freaked out by two bats: Red Hood, because he doesn't know what he is but he sure is something and he wishes people would be a little more concerned to figure out what's going on, and, even more terrifying fucking eldritch get that shit away from me we're gonna die freakier, Duke Thomas, because he knows EXACTLY what he is and he wishes he didn't. And also because Duke knows this and has the time of his life using his powers to freak him out. Once these two team up, they are unstoppable.

Like, imagine the bats need magic help for a mission. John wakes up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and suddenly the corridor lights flicker wildly before turning blinding, he now has seven shadows the shape of which is slowly turning from his silhouette into horrifying images, just as suddenly turning off into complete darkness, and then at the other end of the corridor is the silhouette of a man with glowing eyes that tilts its head to the side like an owl, pulls flaming swords out of his heart and just fucking stares at him without blinking, most of his face and body wreathed in shadows even were the flaming swords should shed light. And then, right behind him in a crepuscular half-light that stems out of nowhere, even though he can't see anybody in the corner of his eye, a voice whispers: "you're needed in Gotham." And then bam, full darkness and they're gone. And John probably knows it's them pretty quickly but that makes it so much worse??? He's a powerful magic user, regularly does work for Justice League Dark, he's fought demons and been through hell. He thought he'd seen anything horrifying and Eldritch and undead there was to see and become numb to it. But the existence of these two? And the fact that life (well, fucking Bruce Wayne apparently) decided to make them brothers? That's enough to give him nightmares.

I think Duke Thomas should get to give off eldritch horror vibes to all JL-associated magic users. As a treat.

You ever think about how some dc characters have superpowers but like, on a meta level?

Like, many vigilantes but especially Bruce with all the hardcore beatings he does, or Tim with the "blowing up bases after having sent them a warning to evacuate" should have killed someone on accident but they didn't. Because the narrative didn't want them to, because this is a Batman or Red Robin comics so you have to suspend your disbelief and accept that these consequences didn't happen, and by doing so you give them the power to inflict lethal harm and yet not kill, and it's the power that you, the reader, give Batman by virtue of being Batman.

Like, Jason is immortal on a meta level, not because he died and came back but because he keeps getting into especially deadly situations and getting out without an explanation and the comics just expect you to accept that yes, the exploding meteorite is deadly enough to apparently (squints eyes) kill Selina but Jason survived it virtually unscratched despite not being enhanced and because we are expected to accept that, we are expected to accept Jason could survive about anything, because he is the character that he is in a comic. Thinking of how the panel of Jason dying came out and half of the community on tumblr was rolling their eyes like it's okay, he'll come back, and they were right. (There was an explanation for that one but still they said "oh no this character can't perma die that's just who he is" and it was right. To be fair not many dc characters are granted the honour of a perma death these days)

There are probably so many examples that I'm not thinking of right now and to be clear this isn't a critique or anything, I just think it's very funny that in a universe that calls their supers "meta humans", the humans that don't have superpowers are granted impossible abilities through suspension of disbelief and the ability of the reader to take in account the role of the narrative in their interpretation of the character's actions and their consequences. It's ironic, and it's punny, and I really really hope it's a least a little on purpose.

Duke Thomas the boy ever
