might be ooc for tiff srry
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO FUN AND NO ITS NOT TOO OOC!!!! I FEEL SO SPECIAL THAT YOU DID THIS I'M LITERALLY GONNA CRY
when i want fluff/angst fics and all iโm getting is smut
the struggle is real
OMG I HAVE AN IDEA. So for your new fic , I was thinking, what if reader becomes a vigilante and goes against the family. Like suddenly theres a person bringing down their criminal operations and they dont know who, and readers just silently laughing in the corner๐Or maybe reader can become a spidey person. It would maybe explain the readers new found strength. Im so excited for your new fic!
LMFAO IMAHINE ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
ok so for the mafia AU i really wanna keep it seperate from IBLD, iโm kinda getting tired of writing vigilantes ๐
this is a rlly great idea tho!! thank you ๐๐
I loved โI bet on losing dogsโ it was really good! Have a nice day <3
Thank youuuu!!! It really means a lot, you've really made my day :) You have a wonderful day too!!
Do you think that readers mom would threaten Bruce (if they were still together) to leave him during the time Tiffany was still around? I like to think that readers mom is like โโบ๏ธโ this and super sweet, nice, etc and when someone mentions Tiffany sheโd be like this โ๐โ.
um no so i think you mightโve missed the part in chapter one where i mention readers mom is dead. additionally, readers mom and bruce were a one night stand- they didnโt have an actual relationship! great idea tho!! sorry i shouldโve been more clear ๐
I keep rereading "This is me trying" and I have a questions.
Did the Family set the dinner up as a test? At least, once Reader was late getting to the dinner. They had assumed she would run, not fight, and then they'd have an excuse to get rid of her permanently.
Or, on the other hand, the one time Reader isn't watching over the maid kitchen is the time the Family gets attacked? Perhaps Reader was, accidentally, guarding the one entrance no one expected. Maybe even the one entrance that was guarded? But the Family doesn't believe in coincidence. So they put together 'evidence' of Reader protecting them. (Reader asking why a maid was being shady. Closing the door when one purposely left it open. Or any other thing that Reader views as common sense that the Bat Family sees as directly protecting them, especially if outside cameras of the same timestamps show mobilized groups.)
(Hell, maybe the maids waited until Reader was obviously not showing up because they like her?)
I also am wondering if Bruce immediately tried to change Reader's school, or if he forgets he never enrolled her in Gotham Academy?
It'd be kinda funny for Duke or Damian's to search their school for Reader, only to realize she was never there. They just thought she had been good at hiding for years. The two question it, but don't say anything to Bruc. And then they see her as the captain of the cheer team of a rival school they're going against. Gotham Academy loses to Gotham Public and everyone goes wild.
But Duke and Damian, and anyone of the Family that came to watch with them, notice how the Football team acts towards Reader. When they try to confront Reader about it, Reader laughs at them.
Or maybe, when Bruce does try to enroll them and give Reader the Wayne name, and the Reader gets told, she rushes to get re-enrolled in her school? She scrubs the Wayne off her name and goes on like usual. Which gets her dragged in front of Bruce by Tim.
When confronted, Reader tells Bruce, "You said I earned the name Wayne. Because I showed loyalty and a willingness to protect you at all costs to myself. Correct?"
"Yes."
"Why would I want the Wayne name?"
"Excuse you?" Tim interjects incredulously.
"None of you have ever shown loyalty towards me. I haven't even been living in the Manor. Most of my stuff has been moved out since I was 11. I only come back because I hoped that I could have a family in any of you. I hate coming back. I hate staying here. I rarely ever do, unless I'm called back by Alfred for one of your parties that I'm not even allowed to show my face at. It's the one time that I don't 'sit guard' in the maid's kitchen that all of you got attacked. I could have left you to yourselves. I was tempted."
"So." Bruce leaned back in his chair, fingers digging into the arms of his seat. "Why didn't you?"
"Because, I didn't want you to die. I may not trust you. But I am loyal to you, even if it's only to the extent of caring whether you live or die. Something you've never directed towards me. Why would I take the Wayne name when you've never done anything to win my loyalty? You already know I'm loyal. But I'm not loyal to you the way I could be if I considered you family."
"You'd kill for us. You'd sacrifice your life and die for us. But you do not consider us family?"
"I didn't come to your gala to begin with because I was with people I consider family. The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb, after all. The bonds I've forged with others will always be stronger than the ones I carry out of obligation. I'm not even on your insurance. I've been getting medical care from back alley clinics or through the people who decided I was worth caring about. For now, I'm an easily disposable tool to you. As a tool, I don't want your name. It'll only cause more issues."
"Issues? What issues could you possibly have being called a Wayne?" Tim cut in again.
"A lone and very disposable Wayne, with no support system, no underlings, no money, and very little power. One would think this is you trying to get me killed or trafficked. A mutt in a den of wolves."
"Alone and disposable. That's quiet the statement, (Y/N). What makes you think that?"
"Years of me being loyal. Of trying my best. Of desperation to simply be looked at as more than a burden or the daughter of a whore, as you all love to call my mother. You have shown, time and again, that I am not worth any amount of loyalty. Why should I trust you? I know you don't you trust me. You only trust I'd die for you. Kill for you. Why would I live for you? You have never earned it."
And goes to walk out like a badass. Only to pause at the door, as Bruce and Tim are staring at her in stunned silence. "My name is (Y/N) (L/N). And until you can earn more than my loyalty, I refuse to bear yours."
Reader's face breaks from being just as stone cold as Bruce's, revealing a soft smile.
"When I first came to the Manor, I wanted to be a Wayne. Not for money or power. But because I loved my father, on the principle that that was what he was. My father. When I finally realized you'd never see me as a daughter, I stopped seeing you as anything more than a sperm donor. Earn being my father, or stop pretending you want me to have your name."
Ho is you a mind reader?
No they definitely didn't do it as a test, Bruce would never willingly put himself in a position where he's vulnerable and have his family 'rely' on Reader, even if it's just a test.
Ok so, for the maid thing, ur on the right track!! I don't wanna spoil too much so i'm not gonna say anything!!!!
Also Bruce kinda just forgot about reader going to school period, and you're so right about the WHOLE school thing!! it's like you took it right out my drafts LMAO!!!
You predicted a lot of future chapter plot points ngl but with the whole Bruce and Reader confrontation, you wrote it really good but thats more IBLD reader vibes! This reader is more scared of Bruce, she won't outright challenge or disobey him, she knows better. This version of Batfamily is darker and crueler than IBLD bc they're not heroes. Also, reader is 15, she's not gonna talk to the Godfather of the American mob like that, father or not! This was beautifully written though!! Thank you so much ily <3333
Being mostly unloved your whole life with out much attention from people around you ๐ค loving obsessive yandere characters
I honestly want to know what Alfred thinks about reader and Tiffany. In the prologue, he seems to believe Tiffany.
Honestly, it would be nice to have a yandere neglect fic where Alfred also doesn't care that much. He is always portrayed as the only one who notices the reader but him also ignoring them would be quite interesting.
the dynamic between Alfred and reader is complex. on one hand Alfred sees Bruce in reader and was the only adult/ parental figure that reader had in her life but he's old and tends to forget about her. he definitely cares the most about reader and will try to attend her performances and events but he will never put her above Bruce. Bruce was his first kid and while he might love reader, he loves Bruce more and will always prioritize him. that being said, reader is definitely his favorite out of the kids before Tiffany comes in.
This is an ask following up from million dollar man because that was a masterpiece of angst. Are you able to write a sequel to that ? Specifically how two face realises that Tiffany is fake and tries to look for reader going full yandere because he realised that he was in the desert and fell for a mirage (Tiffany) and now he's more thirsty than ever in his soul because he drove the real fresh stream of water he needed (that being the reader) away.
But, two face can only find rumours of the reader being with slade and slade is a man that unfortunately two face can't afford to make an enemy out of. So, for now, he waits in the shadows for slade to mess up so that he can do anything to grovel and win reader back. Reader in this has moved on from him and has no intentions of ever being vulnerable with anyone like that again. She likes being with slade because she knows she will never trust him and that protects her from being vulnerable around him. Really I just want a fic where two face is privately loosing his mind trying to hunt for the reader and trying to figure out ways to get close to her again even though he knows he has completely ruined this for himself and he knows that the reader will never forgive him for what he has done, in this way he is no better than the batfam and this completely sickens him. This could happen around the same time that the Batfam realises Tiffany is a fake because I just think on the karma side of things it would be so delicious if the batfam and two face all go wild realising they've made such a big mistake but they can only find rumours of the reader because she's long gone and those rumours are not comforting because though she isn't aware of them yandere Slade has secretly let everyone know that she belongs to him and unlike the others he isn't stupid enough to want a fake like Tiffany when he doesn't evet intend to let the real thing (reader) go.
OKKKK PERFECT!!! I am writing another part and it is somewhere along these lines tbhhhh! ugh so much angst- i love ๐๐๐
thanks for the ask babes! iโm cooking it up rn but it might be out tmrw or after!
