Ra'sTim fic idea:

// Omegaverse, no capes AU:

So that cover of Damian playing soccer has me thinking about an AU where Tim and Ra's have never met before.... 👀

Tim is the omega child of Selina, who just started dating Bruce, Talia's ex husband. But Talia and Bruce are on good terms, and have given Damian a very nice childhood. Talia has been mainly supported by her dad, alpha Ra's, who has been a widow for over 20 years now and focused on his family ever since. While they're all aware Bruce is dating Selina, there has been no proper introduction whatsoever between the three families (the al Ghuls, the Waynes and the Kyles).

Until one day, during a soccer game, Damian's team wins. This ends on a party, which Talia and Ra's attend gladly, congratulating the 9yo pup on his discipline on the sport. Damian then introduces them to Jon, his best friend in the team, and Jon introduces Talia and Ra's to the couple that went to watch him in the game: Kon and Tim.

Kon and Tim aren't actually a couple, they are just very good friends since forever, and since Jon's parents are off the city, Tim agreed to make company to Kon and encourage little Jon so that the pup wouldn't feel left out. Kon is Jon's half older brother, child of Clark's previous marriage, and Kon really didn't want to be alone at Jon's game.

So, yeah, long story short: 9yo Jon points at Tim happily and says Tim is their neighbour, and that he likes Tim very much because he makes very good cookies. Tim giggles, shaking Talia's hand first and then promising Jon some cookies for winning the game. Damian asks if he can some too, and suddenly there's a whole conversation going on between all of them except Ra's. Ra's, whose brain just stopped working at the sight of such a pretty, mesmerizing omega.

He regains composure quickly, smirking with certain flirting when Tim turns to see him, blushed and ashamed. "I'm sorry, I didn't greet you!" Tim murmurs with a nervous smile, hurrying to take Ra's' hand. The alpha takes it, but rather than shake it, he dares to take it up his lips, giving a soft kiss to Tim's knuckles.

The omega gasps, cheeks red.

"Don't worry, Timothy. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The mutual interest doesn't go unperceived by anyone, but neither Talia nor Kon approve of it, and avoid letting the two love birds alone. In the end, Ra's has to go to extreme measures, and discretely give a note to Damian with his name and phone number, sending it to Tim via the pup's hands, who is easily bought with the promise of ice cream for dinner.

Tim and Ra's starts messaging each other, and for a few days that's all they do before Ra's asks him out on a date. But funnily enough, just the day before their agreed dinner, they run into each other at a park, Ra's babysitting Damian and Tim babysitting Jon again. The two pups go and play together, giving Ra's and Tim the perfect excuse to sit together under the shadow of the trees and talk for hours.

Anyway, I might write this properly later, but for now this is it. Of course this is followed by Ra's and Tim going out for a few weeks, having fun, kissing... Until Bruce has his engagement party to Selina, and Tim discovers the Damian pup Selina mentioned that Bruce had, is the same Damian that he just met. It's awkward, and it brings some tension to all the families, to the point both Ra's and Tim consider breaking up... But their love's stronger, and they decide to stay together even if it's difficult.

In the end it's funny. They laugh at life's coincidences, and Damian is their supporter number 1 (they bought the pup with sweets and toys). For the rest of their lives, they are very happy to have attended that children's soccer game.

Batman #138

"I can smell it on you" why are these two like this? 😭 I swear people purposely ignore Ra's' queer coding atp because this arc was a barely decent story with Bat/Cat drama and siblings fighting and yet it decided to tie Vandal Savage and Ra's intimately just for the sake of it. We get no more memories or dedications, only this, a pain they somehow share. And I don't think it's necessarily shipping, but I do think this comic at least got right that these two terrible, ambitious men relate to each other painfully. "All good things fade."

it’s like no i don’t think theyre fucking or even necessarily have the desire to but yes i DO think they’re in love. and it sucks because there’s all these elements in their way but yes there is great love here… and i don’t mean good or righteous love, i just mean BIG. it takes up space and everyone can see it and it’s impossible to even truly be able to acknowledge it precisely because it’s so massive and suffocating. because i think lex has within him a great capacity for love and no one who truly wants it from him. so he projects all of it onto clark because clark wants it. and clark likes lex because he recognizes that there is something Different about both of them. clark is different but can’t express that and lex is visibly obviously different to everyone in smallville and clark sees him and thinks. there is something wrong with you on the outside that’s wrong with me on the inside. we are the same… and the real reason they’re so doomed isn’t because of The Narrative it’s because the entire relationship has been built in this cracked foundation of this mutual desperation to be able to give and take love. there’s this horrible deafening cry of please please please somebody see me love me pick me want me know me. and the entire thing is built on that and it’s not sustainable and it’s going to EXPLODE

Everyone voting against Ra'sTim have no taste. NOTHING slaps as hard as the most dangerous man of earth being the one who believes you. Tim accepting Ra's' help because he's alone, he has nothing to lose, and yet in Ra's he finds someone who *believes* him, someone willing to help.

It's a game, sure, but both of them like to play. It's a dance, where the first one to show weakness won't fall to death, but rather, fall in love.

It's an exquisite flirting. Swords, fire and promises.

Plus, it's kinda poetic. The man who wants to live forever in love with the boy who wants to die.

propaganda:

An antagonistic relationship with mutual manipulation, grudging respect and occasional murder attempts. Hot older man trying to seduce a young sidekick to the dark side. The hilarity of Tim becoming Damian's step grandfather. I just think it's neat.
