Hell or High Water Masterlist
“And I choke myself on sacred vapor
Waiting on some holy favor
Basking in the solace of regret
And it seems my hell is your high water
Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves”
-“Hell or High Water” by Sleep Token
I’ve had this idea of a Percy Jackson/DC crossover in my head for a while and at first it was just a way to jot down the basic universe info, then it became a fully fledged universe.
“You promise you wont hurt us?” Percy stuck his pinkie out, green eyes staring at the whites of his cowl.
It was comical how big Batman’s hands were compared to Percy’s. The gloved finger swallowed Percy’s when he wrapped around his, and Jason had to hold back his shock when Batman gave his brother a smile. “I promise.”

“ If someone went up to twenty-one year old Bruce, when he was just beginning his training under Ra’s, when he truly believed it’d be best for him to remain alone and trust no one, that he would be the father of three sons, whom he could now no longer live without, Bruce would have shoved them into an Arkham cell himself.
But here he was, a father, holding tight to his youngest.”

“Lying on their stomach on the other side of the roof was a boy his age. Percy knew the kid. He was in fourth grade class, but he didn’t really talk to the others. Preferring to stick by himself and fiddle with the camera he took with him everywhere.”

“You promised,” Percy yelled, hands holding tight to the backpack in his hand. His green eyes held an other worldly glow to them, a subtle light that was washed out in the warm light of the manor. The fresh tears that streamed down his cheeks reflected the manor light as well, but they went unnoticed by the older man. His back faced the child, one hand digging it’s nails into the hardwood railing of the stairs, the other fisted at his side. “You promised me you wouldn’t hurt us! Would hurt him! You’re a liar!”

“Is…Is Percy…?” He didn’t want to speak the words aloud, frightened that the universe would put that plan into motion.
“He isn’t here, young master,” Alfred eyes couldn’t meet his. “He’s gone missing.”
That was worse than being dead, Dick thinks. At least if he was dead, then he’d be here. His name would be carved into stone beside Jason’s, his own flowers decorating the grave. But he wasn’t. He was gone. His little brother was somewhere in the world without them and he didn’t even know where, didn’t know when, didn’t know how it happened.

“Percy…Blew up…The St Louis arch?!
He’s not dead?!
Tim’s eyes were wide as they replayed the footage and enlarged the grainy picture showed off his best friend. What was Percy doing in Missouri? Who is that girl? What happened when he went to New York? Worry began to fill Tim’s stomach. He wondered if Percy was put up to this, threatened to do something for someone, because there was no way he was doing this of his own volition.”

“He took a deep breath. He’s survived a trip to the underworld. He’s been to Olympus. Percy was a demigod, he’s faced far more difficult and scarier things in the two and a half months since he found out he was a demigod. He can totally face his adoptive father.
He rung the doorbell before he could change his mind.”

“Filler” fics that are a part of the series that could have been their own installment but didn’t make the cut to have their own upload, so they’re shoved in here. They will vary in length, quality, and seriousness, and they take place throughout the timeline of the series and will be updated with no rhyme or reason, just as I see fit. Their place will be stated before each one so you’re not as confused.
Fore warning though that, while you can read these back to back, you might get spoilers if you haven’t gotten to a certain part of the series yet.

recently i've been struggling (watching slime scooping videos)
he sure is reding that hood
(click for higher quality)
Went into record store this week and decided to slap them onto Please Please Me
This is stupid, I spent too long on this lmao
Bruce: Has anyone seen Jason and Damian?
Tim: That went out
Bruce: For what?
Dick: Something about Jason breaking a whetstone- don't ask- and Damian demanding he replace that
Bruce: We already have a whetstone for the batarang
Tim: Yeah, but Damian said and I quote "My katana was forged by greatest bladesmiths the League of Assassins has to offer, that cheap rock will not go anywhere near it"
Bruce: ...That does sound like Damian
Dick: Yep. So now we're just waiting on them
[5 minutes later]
Tim: [looks at his phone and starts laughing]
Tim: You guys are not gonna believe this
Dick: What?
[Shows a trending video of Jason walking across a parking lot with a bag in one hand and a screaming Damian under his arm, before noticing the camera and saying, "don't worry, he's mine I'm not stealing him." *pause* "if I was gonna take one, it definitely wouldn't be this asshole"]
Bruce: [tired sigh] Sadly, I can believe it...
Dick: Well, at least he got the whetstone
anyways i think bruce historically takes the batboys on an annual fishing trip which they all hate so so so much. it gets to the point where it's only tim accompanying him, because unlike dick or jason, tim would simply disintegrate from guilt if he stayed home.
then cass comes along and bruce thinks "oh no well there goes my fishing trips. all of the boys hate them anyways... and it's not like i can take a GIRL fishing."
cue bruce and cass, alone next to some dinky old river with nothing but their fishing rods and an esky full of cold beers, wearing a matching pair of fuckass fishing hats, both religiously applying sunscreen and bug spray.
teehee
i like to think jason uses his scars for his friends/family advantages and not even in a cool guy way, just in a lame way to get the other robins and vigilantes to think twice about their actions
——————
dicks kid: what happened to your face uncle jayjay
jason: i didn’t eat my vegetables
——————
Bruce: i need Damian to start listening to me, he’s getting to age of rebellion
Jason: i got you
[later]
Bruce: did you seriously tell Damian I fed you to killer croc when you were little and that’s why you ended up with your scars?
Jason: is he listening?
Bruce:
Jason: your welcome
——————
this could work with all the batfamily members actually
[when Duke was first starting to be signal]
Nightwing: oh don’t even get me started about the one i have on my upper bicep because i didn’t follow orders and got ran over by the riddler
Signal: ???
Red Robin: oh and i lost my spleen because i decided to fight assassins by myself
Nightwing: Tim what
Red Robin: !
No bitches?
Poster hung up in Bruce's bedroom.
bro is so damn real for that
If canon verse Dick tried the 5 senses thing on Jason to get him out of a panic spiral it would work but only because it would irritate Jason so much he would immediately snap out of it
😇😇😇😇
The real reason why none of the bat-boys are allowed in the kitchen
I think it’d be so funny if Bruce just refuses to disclose the existence of Robin to the league. He knows it’d take less than a minute for them to form a wicked mock club against him.
Except he just? Carries Robin around. Under that endless void that is his cape. Clark pinches the stress point between his brows. “Batman, is that a child under your cape?”
“No.”
“Bruce I can HEAR his heartbeat.”
“I think the long exposure to kryptonite partially damaged your brain. There is no child here, Clark.”
“He’s literally drinking Barry’s coffee right now.”
“He’s WHAT-“
lmao me
bros having a Day
그짤 ( hunyangzi )
they’re all safe and happy!! mhm!! yes!!!!!!!!!
they are on vacation~🍃🌼
sobbing tbh
timmy drake !!!!!! (both of these are wips but I'll never finish them!)
>:(
mom said it’s MY turn to lay gently in the cold dark earth
lol
the fact that it’s totally normal for Bruce to carry a Robin in his arms but if you see him carrying a fully-grown adult child like Nightwing or Red Hood etc that means they probably died/are about to die is KILLING me.
I'm a little late to the party but happy birthday Jason Todd!!!
tEEHE
[wip] i managed to squeeze in a little tim doodle between commissions though not sure it will be rendered any time in the near future lolz
Jason trying to kill the new robin must’ve been really awkward for Tim, but not as awkward as when he found out about his fanboy activities
Jason, aggressively trying to stab him: why would Bruce choose you?? There’s no way you were tracking us for weeks without him noticing!
Tim: oh shit
Jason, visiting Tim’s old room in Drake manor: why do you have an entire robin shrine with photos of my face attached with red string
Tim: oh shit
Red Hood: I'm a team player
Nightwing: Team player, my ass! You pushed Red Robin off the ROOF!
Red Hood: [shrugs] He isn't part of the team anymore
Robin: [nods] I like this team much better now
Spoiler: [over the comms] Why is RR dangling from a fire escape?
Nightwing: Because-
Red Hood: Because he's not a team player!
Jason: I bet you can't eat 15 crayons!
Dick: I bet I can!
Bruce: *looks at them momentarily, checks that 911 is still on speed dial, and goes back to reading his book*
