Summary:
Dick’s undercover in some hipster coffee shop and Tim’s starting to get
worried. Nothing good can come from this because Dick’s the kind of guy
that might unironically start liking hipster things. That’s the last
thing they need. Good thing Kaldur’s ready to intervene. Or at least
check it out.

“Hey, Kaldur, hi.” Tim sat down
on the coffee table in front of Kaldur and gave him a wide fake
smile. It put Kaldur on edge.
“Robin-”
“Tim” Tim interrupted. “Tim’s
fine. I think we’re beyond formalities like that.”
Kaldur eyed Tim suspiciously. “I
suppose.” The two sat awkwardly staring at each other until Kaldur
broke the silence with a sigh. “What is it you need, Tim?”
“Oh! Right!” Tim shifted
nervously. “I need a favour.”
Kaldur raised an eyebrow.
“Well, ok, Dick needs a favour.”
Kaldur’s other eyebrow raised to
match the first one.
“He needs an intervention.”
“And you think I’m the one that
needs to give him this intervention?” Kaldur asked skeptically.
“Well you are his…” Tim made a
face and shrugged. “I actually have no idea what you two call it.
But the point is he went undercover and he’s in too deep. Someone
needs to snap him out before it’s too late. I’d try but B has
forebode me to intervene and yah I don’t want to be benched until
I’m 30.”
“That does sound concerning.”
Kaldur frowned. “What do you need me to do?”
Writing AUs are hard, but especially when you’re writing characters who are assholes even if you genuinely like them. It gets much harder when you don’t write from their PoV.
It’s easy to write nice, likable characters. It’s a lot harder to figure out what’s being an asshole because they’re kind of a dick sometimes and being an asshole because social conventions are hard and this character is super awkward. And all of that gets a lot harder when you’re trying to keep it believable for your audience so they recognize this character even though it’s a completely different world and they don’t decide you’ve interpreted the character wrong. (Or worse, that you secretly hate this character you actually want to nuzzle.)
All this to say – is Ben in B&T the kind of asshole who would correct improper word use? Like if someone says “you’re jealous” would he be the kind of dick to explain that no, he’s envious, not jealous? I feel like he might be but also that’s pedantic as all hell and I don’t think he’s pedantic. So I’m undecided.

It’s that time of year again, everyone! The best holiday known to man… Halloween! Last year we had a lot of fun by playing with prompts and writing spooky (or not so spooky) stories based on them, so I decided, why not do it again?
Here’s how it’s going to work
Rules:
Send me an ask telling me what number you want, if you’re writing gen or ship fic and which ship you’re writing for. Polyships are absolutely allowed. Genfic is also allowed.
You have until September 30th to claim a prompt.
Write the fic. Post by October 31st, 2018. If you need extra time, please let me know.
Tag your post with the tag “rosesficoween”, and with my url (“rosemoonweaver”). Also, please make sure to tag your post with proper content warnings (obvs.)
You should be following me to enter the challenge. It is for my followers, after all.
If you want to post to a side blog, please tell me that in the ask you send.
After your fic is posted, I will reblog it to my blog. After the challenge is over, I will compile a masterpost with all the fics in them. Feel free to go wherever your muse takes you. You’re completely welcome to write darkfic, horror, comedy, romance, etc etc. Just remember to have fun and enjoy yourself. All ships and all fandoms are welcome with the exception of RPS and fic that features extremely underage characters (13 and younger) in sexually explicit situations.
