Prompt: DCU, Jason Todd/+any, i'll be a hurricane when i grow up, an ugly thunder. i'll be a forest fire about to flood over an empire.
When he was a kid, Jason just wanted to be a hero. Everyone he saw every day could use some help, so Jason figured that once he survived to adulthood, he'd help them.
When Batman took him in, Jason thought he was well on his way.
Sure fucked that up, didn't he?
.
After... well, after. He still wanted to do good, but he'd finally figured out that Batman's way wasn't working. Redemption's all fine and dandy, but you gotta realize that some people don't want to be redeemed. They don't want to get better. And those people, they can't be allowed to keep fucking up the lives of the people just trying to get by.
So since Batman isn't doing what he should and taking them out, that's Red Hood's job. And he's pretty fucking talented at it.
.
Jason's not a hero. Never has been, never will be.
But he's doing good, he is, even if he's the only one who admits it.

Prompt: Highlander the Series, any, an Immortal recalls their first death--when they realized that they'd come back to life...but their daemon hadn't.
He says 5000 years. He does not actually know because the first few centuries (or so) are... hazy. And the life he had before then, he was... not alone.
He sees people and their souls conversing. Cuddling. He knows that he once hunted those souls, trying to bring back what he lost but it never --
He says 5000 years. He says.
He aches and he yearns and he hungers, but the only way --
He will not die. Will not. He lives and his soul does not, and it is horrifying every single day, but he lives. He lives.
He is stronger than his soul.

Prompt: Justice League Cartoon, Wally West/Bruce Wayne, daemon AU: Bruce has a panther, Wally has a dog
"You know they're not going to give up," Satine tells Bruce as she flops down beside his chair.
"They're being stupid," he says, clicking over to another camera: Wally and Cindra are racing around inside an apartment fire.
Bruce doesn't say They could do so much better than us. Satine is his soul and she thinks the same.

Prompt: any, any, courage is always easier to muster up in daylight
At night, she forgets. She doesn't mean to -- she clings to the memories as tight as she can, but they always slip through her fingers, fade on the floor.
Nights are cold. Alone. So very dark. She always knows it's coming, the cold and alone and dark, but no matter how she prepares, how she fights... she shivers and she cries.
All she can do is wait for morning. For the dawn. The moment a single ray pierces the night, she's free again.
Until dusk, at least.
