for the small overlap of my followers in the centre of the batman/check please venn diagram: take a trip with me to batfam x omgcp hell lol
some prior notes before i get into this:
for my own safety and sanity, i primarily won’t be focusing on the grimdark, death-filled origin stories of the batfamily
i will be fucking around with ages, characterizations, and relationship dynamics from both omgcp and dc bc this is my au and i do what i want lol
there’s gonna be a fuckton more under the cut bc this is all stream of consciousness and i needed to get it down or else my brain wouldn’t shut up about it /);w;(\
oKAY LEGGO /o/
jack zimmermann is The BatMan
broody, black-haired, blue-eyed, soft-spoken giant of a man who can terrify others with a glare
not quite a playboy in his civilian identity as jack zimmermann, but defo a himbo who trips over his own words and generally has no idea what he’s doing if it isn’t about his family or his family’s giant corporation
also pressure to live up to parents’ legacy as positive figures who constantly made changes to the city they loved? trying to follow in his father’s footsteps as an amazing philanthropist and business man?
*chef’s kiss*
he’s awkward and perhaps robotic about it sometimes but he loves his family (old and new) with all his heart and will fight the world to protect them
eric bittle is catwoman the night cat
flirty chatty, sneaky cat burglar who steals to fund his own interests
(it’s baking we all know it’s baking lol. he has a dream to start a career in the food industry but he can’t afford it yet so…….. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
bitty’s got soft hands and quick technique—there’s nothing he can’t break into or break out of so long as he’s got the right tools
first meeting with jack zimmermann as the batman was unfavourable for everyone involved. eric was a criminal trying to steal a vintage dining set from the local museum and jack was……very jack about it
their relationship softens as they cross paths more often and they learn about each other’s identities
bitty left home at a young age and never looked back—he may miss his family dearly but it was for the best
besides, if he went back home then how could i run into you, mr. tall, dark, and handsome?
jack is very flustered by him and rightfully so lol
once he’s more integrated into the batfamily, bitty loves everyone just as fiercely as jack does
hops or bully as robin i/nightwing
i can’t decide between the two yet for who i’d prefer for the first robin and eventually nightwing
i love hops for the teasing, pain-in-the-ass robin and eventual titans’ leader, nightwing
but i also love the idea of (canonically second best dancer of smh) bully being an expert gymnast who came from a family of travelling performers, whose acts are tied deeply to their cultural identities
this is up in the air for the meantime, but either of em would be excellent nightwings
whoever’s not robin + louis would also be in this iteration of the titans
dex as robin ii/red hood
now i gotta be honest, i almost didn’t want to have red hood be part of this bc pain but!! i think dex would be an excellent red hood
picked up by billionaire jack zimmermann, dex is a kid from the streets who tragically dies in undisclosed circumstances
his homelife before jack came into it was taking care of his mother and protecting them from an abusive brother
he takes the mantle as robin with some trepidation at first but comes to love it with all his heart
after his death and eventual resurrection, he becomes the red hood: an anti-hero who cares for the underdogs, for the forgotten people of the city, fighting crime in his own way in the alleys where he came from
he goes on his own adventures with his own group of outlaws—nursey, a clever archer with as much dorkiness as he does archery skill, and chowder, a naive but kind and loving alien with godly powers
(no, neither nursey nor chowder were ever part of robin i’s titans bc i have Opinions™ about this and i want them to be their own ragtag group of heroes gdi)
(yes, i am just furthering my polyfrogs agenda. also you can’t tell me polyfrogs as joyfire wouldn’t be the best thing ever )
ransom as robin iii/red robin
a tired ball of chaos, ransom would be such a good tim drake i can feelit
a bright young man who forces his way into batman’s life after robin ii’s passing and after looking up to both generations of robin growing up
he deduced jack and co’s identities on his own and then studies up like hella to become the next robin
he’s slightly terrified to present his findings to The Jack Zimmermann aka The Batman, but his bravery and thoroughness at the very least intrigues jack enough to take him under his wing (pun intended)
ransy’s parents are not pleased when he announces everything to them
they have expectations of the world from him but at the end of the day they love their son and they love that their son is doing good in the world
he’s a disaster bi btw
one of his bffs is holster aka superboy i, who is his righthand man in their team of heroes (young justice titans)
his other bff is march aka spoiler and basically his first love who is his partner in all things batfamily
ransom has the dick grayson problem of going back and forth between the same two redheads blondes for several years bc he loves them both very dearly
whiskey as robin iv
jack’s son who barrels into his life after years of secrecy
idk who i want to be his ~mother yet
initial instinct says camilla, jack’s ex, a skilled assassin-slash-mercenary with her own moral code
her relationship with jack would mirror that of roy and jade’s and whiskey would be lian………….except instead of lian it’d be damian LOL
camilla kept whiskey as a secret bc she knew who Jack The Batman and Jack The Billionaire was, but she’s forced to give him up when her life comes under threat and she decides he’d be safer with jack
jack and camilla do not have an antagonistic relationship before nor after whiskey comes into jack’s life, but just from the way whiskey grew up he’s got Some Issues to deal with
jack allows him to express/release his emotions with combat and detective training, and eventually he becomes the next robin
ALTERNATIVELY
whiskey is a clone resulting from the success of experimentation combining jack and kent parson’s dna (think conner kent being the result of clark kent and lex luthor)
kent is jack’s old flame and partner
they grew up together and were inseparable for most of their youth until a brutal falling out where jack eventually started his path to become the batman, and kent turned to crime and world domination
whiskey, again, was the result of an experiment studying human genetics that successfully created a clone of billionaire and masked vigilante, jack zimmermann + the head of the biggest crime league in the world, kent parson
whiskey comes into jack’s life after discovering his conception and wanted to learn more about his other father
he also left the league bc i imagine grooming a child to be a murderer in a villain’s syndicate takes its toll and whiskey saw this as his perfect out
cue the same journey to him becoming robin iv
other notes
shitty is alfred pennyworth but not an old butler. he is instead jack’s righthand man and best friend. if it wasn’t kent with jack growing up, it was shitty, and shitty stuck by jack’s side after kent left. they know each other as well as they know themselves, and jack would trust his life and family with shits. shitty’s basically his live-in manager and PA, but he loves what he does and he, too, protects the batcave with a shotgun (as well as a foul mouth lol)
lardo is lucius fox and heads all of zimmermann enterprise’s innovations. she got into a relationship with shitty after years of the two of them dealing with jack’s bs and eventually they two fell in love. she’s a genius and unafraid to put any of the batfamily in their place, especially since shitty won’t. yeeeeeears down the line, once jack puts up the cowl once and for all and she and shitty have their own family, their son picks up the mantle to become the next batman a la jace fox
tater is the superman to jack’s batman. a loud and kind humanoid alien who was adopted by russian immigrants after crashlanding to earth as a baby and grew up to eventually become superman
tango is superboy ii and whiskey’s best friend. idk if i want him to be tater’s son, but i do want super sons, and whiskey needs a sunshine alien just like damian lol
george is wonder woman. i am not taking any questions about this.
alsoapril is wonder girl in young justice a la cassie sandsmark. i will not be taking questions about this either.
if she isn’t whiskey’s mom then camilla is batwoman. no questions here as well.
idk yet who i want as cass and babs but i know want them here somehow. i just dunno yet. maybe farmer as oracle?? ford as orphan?? vice versa??? use jenny and mandy instead???? maybe i should rearrange the whole damn family????? idk yet but don’t worry i haven’t forgotten them~!
Kenny of course has Purrs and her toys. There is hair stuck to everything he owns and he doesn’t care one bit cause she’s his baby. He’s one of thosepeople.
He has a copy of the ESPN body issue because in it, obviously. Think Tyler Seguin’s but somehow even more self-confident. Kenny knows he’s rockin’ one hot bod.
Also featured: a picture of his team in the QMJHL with Jack, a.k.a the best time of his life so far. (Actually a picture of the Rimouski Océanic team for those wondering)
Tater has lots and lots of his very favourite thing after hockey, food!
Bitty has provided blueberry jam, a pie, and some khvorost, in case Tater feels homesick.
Of course, he also has chocolate and candy sent from home, that he likes bullying his team mates into trying. (“Tater, does this have prunes in it?”)
A phone with instagram is very important for documenting trips to real American college frat haus!))))
Psst, Alexei “Tater” Mashkov did ballet for five years as a child and still has some sick moves, pass it on.
It was Alexei’s mother that insisted on him learning to dance. Her little Alyosha was a clumsy child. She thought that ballet would be a good way to learn some grace, and her love of ballet growing up held some influence. Despite thinking classical ballet was stuffy, nine year old Alexei didn’t want to upset his Mama, so he agree.
He was surprised by how much he loved it.
The ballet mistress was a strict woman named Ms. Natalya, and she took no tomfollery in her class. Alexei learned how to tone down his jokes and goofy antics (which later was useful for serious interviews).
Alexei went in thinking it would be easy. He didn’t expect to fall so much just in learning very basic positions. The falling only made him want to try harder to get his lanky limbs to cooperate and be as graceful as Ms. Natalya. The days she brought in Mr. Valery to showcase pas de deux lessons. The more Alexei struggled with moves, the more he wanted to perfect them, the more he practiced at home with his Papa being concerned about his son constantly falling and seeming foolish to his peers. The way his Mama beamed when she saw him practice definitely made it all the more worth it to Alexei.
He got better, slowly worked his way to top of his class. Alexei loved to put on recitals as well, even if it was just one to neighbors and friends in the yard when he was too eager to wait for one with the class. He loved allegros and showcasing how quick he could be, hated the lull of an adagio. When the girls began to earn the approval to start learning to dance en pointe, Alexei was jealous to the point of considering quitting. He’d dance on his tip toes at home to copy some of the moves just because he hated being told he couldn’t dance en pointe.
At the age of 14, Alexei was a wonderful dancer, was one of Ms. Natalya’s favorites that she showed her secret kind side to. He had actually originally intended to persue ballet, with big dreams of being a soloist and ultimately a principal dancer for a big company like the Bolshoi or Mariinsky.
And then Alexei’s cousin, Evgeni, introduced him to hockey.
All it took was one game of shinny in a pair of battered, borrowed skates, and Alexei was in love. He had hoped to do both, but hockey took up much more time than ballet, and he ultimately had to quit. Alexei found ways to involve ballet though. He contorted and used flexibility in making hard to reach passes. He used the balance and grace he learned to help keep himself from having his skates knocked out from under him. He was quick on his feet after days at a time of dancing allegro, and it improved stamina as well.
And if Alexei breaks out some jumps and turns to make people smile and laugh, or impress them with flexibility and core strength during the team’s off days or nights out dancing and celebrating, well, he can thank years of trying to be the best danseur for that.
This is it, folks! The most heated bidding happens at the end, so keep an eye on those spreadsheets!
A few reminders as we go into the last day:
Don’t forget to check our Golden Needle tag for auctions that have flown under the radar and not yet received bids!
Auctions end at 8pm EST. It is impossible to close all the forms simultaneously, so some may not be closed until as late as 8:05. Any bids that register on the spreadsheet with a timestamp later than 20:00:05 EST will not be counted. It can take a few seconds for a bid to process, so this means that some bids placed at 19:59:59 won’t process in time and some placed at 20:00:02 will. We cannot control this, and we have no way of knowing when you hit the button. All we know is when the form processed it and put it on the sheet. The only really fair thing we can do is to declare a cutoff time in advance and stick to it.
Do not contact your creator/bidder until we contact you. Bidders, you will get an email within a day of the end of the auctions with a list of your high bids. Creators, we will let you know when your bidders donate. When bidders and creators cut us out of the contact loop, or try to do things out of order, it often does not go well.
If you did not win your auctions, you can still contribute to our causes! We will be posting information tomorrow about making donations to support ROFL - our Regiment of Fan Laborers who have signed up to give beta and other fan labor support to FTH creators throughout the coming year.
OurFan Crafters will continue taking orders until Friday, if you’re hoping to grab a physical craft for your donation!
Whether your donation is from an auction, the ROFL pool, or a fan crafter, all donations will be due Sunday, March 6. Please plan accordingly!
Thank you so much to all our creators, bidders, and everyone who’s helped boost the auction! Good luck with those last-minute bids!
Type of fanwork: Written Subtype(s):Fanfic Fandom(s):Check Please!, Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy Highest rating: M (Mature) Length/scope:5 -10k words
Especially interested in: Anakin/Padme, Bitty/Kent, Bitty/Jack, Bitty/Tater, themes that I’m interested in change by the pairing and chemistry, I’m also happy to write Gen, nuanced themes, angst, fluff, usually a combination of angst and fluff
Unwilling to address: Kent/Jack, Anakin/Obi-Wan, Anakin critical, Kent Parson bashing
Notes: I love nuanced themes and discussions that can be very angsty. Anything that explores a character and their choices more in depth. That being said, if you want something that’s pure fluff, I am always up for it. I’m very much not here for hating on Anakin or Padme, or their relationship. I’m also not interested in too much hate towards the Jedi Order. Nuance is where it is at for me. If you are looking for Check Please, I have tons of AU ideas. I am in love with Bitty. If you need help with ideas for Check Please, I created an entire prompts list in my tumblr that you can check out.
One fateful day at world juniors, Alexei spots the most beautiful guy he’s ever seen. He can’t say anything, unless he wants to out himself to his Russian teammates. The guy then gives him the jersey off his back to remember him by. Thus begins Alexei Mashkov’s incurable obsession with a certain Kent Parson…
5 times Alexei received or stole one of Kent’s shirts and 1 time Kent took his. ( Marginally less weird than it sounds)
Alexei Mashkov/Kent Parson, Rated M, : 5 times Alexei thirsted over Kent Parson and one time Kent thirsted for Alexei
His eyes again locked on Parson, still wearing his jersey and gold medal. Sitting with some of his team at a big table. Alexei watched as Parson ate, or rather, he took a bite, then started talking. He was laughing and chatting much more than eating. Alexei was transfixed by Parson’s face. He watched his jaw bob as he talked with his mouthful of food, occasionally interrupted with a flash of a smile or a laugh. In short, he was mesmerized. Huh, Parson was looking this way, furrowing his brow, smirking.
Alexei was so focused on his face he didn’t immediately notice Parson heading his way.
“Oh hello!” He responded cheerily when he realized Parson was now right in front of him.
Kent smiled back, “Yeah, I noticed you looking. See something you like?”
Alexei, nervous, spat out a phrase to see if he still remembered English. “Yes, like shirt,” evidently, he remembered only the barest concept of the language.
“Oh, well in that case, you can keep it.” In an instant, Parson quickly stripped the jersey off and was handing it to him. He was now bare chested save the gold medal around his neck.
“Just fuck me up” Was what the pull in his lower half wanted to say. Nothing polite he could voice in front of his team. His mind was a blur of filth and desire.
“Want it signed?”
Posting for the FYFW event starts on April 5th, stay tuned !
