Summary: When she went to duel Bruce's new lover to the death Talia hadn't been expecting to fall in love.
It's almost impressive that she made a miscalculation so severe.
~
“I’m his favourite.” Selina says through a yawn, sure that her smugness will manage to shine through despite her exhaustion.
“You are not.” Talia scoffs.
“How many cats has he named after you?”
There’s a moment of silence. Selina lets a grin stretch across her face.
“Just you wait.” Talia says, “I will have a legion of cats named after me.”
“Sure you will, love.” Selina manages through overtired giggles.
Selina & Talia
1 2 3 wrote a bunch more for this and it’s on ao3 now lol
Talia is making dinner with Selina when the Sirens burst in.
Selina had said that something like this would happen one day but this is the first time Talia has met them during her and Selina’s relationship.
“Guess what we-” Harley Quinn crows before stopping abruptly at the sight of Talia in the kitchen and Damian at the table. “Who’re you?”
Pamela Isley rolls her eyes before stepping forwards and holding out a hand. “Selina’s been telling us all about her new paramour, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” she says. Talia raises an eyebrow but shakes the hand. She supposes that if Selina likes these people so much she can stomach being polite.
Harley, who had been looking Talia up and down from behind Pamela, steps forward and thrusts her hand out for Talia to shake as well. “Harley Quinn, pleasure to meet ya. And I’ve got to say you are a real improvement on the last guy Cat dated. Like really. Wowza.” Pamela elbows Harley in the ribs but she just responds by kissing her on the cheek. Talia raises an eyebrow at Selina who nods that yes, they’re always like this. Harley turns towards the kitchen table where Damian has turned away from his laptop and is looking at the group of them with undisguised judgement. “And is this your little one?”
“Yes.” Talia answers. She shoots a look at Damian since she can sense that he’s about three seconds from starting a fight. “He is.”
Harley leans down so that her face is level with Damian’s. “Isn’t he a cutie?”
“Continue to disrespect me and I shall remove your head from your shoulders, Quinn”
“And he’s got spunk!” she praises, her lack of fear just making Damian scowl harder. “Who’s the Daddy?” she asks, turning back to Talia.
“My ex.” Talia and Selina answer in unison.
Pamela looks up at the two of them sharply from where she had been inspecting the food and there’s a hint of confusion on Harley’s face for the first time in the whole conversation.
Talia knows it’s undignified, but she can’t help herself from a moment of sharp laughter. She might have been embarrassed over it if not for the way Selina giggles into her shoulder afterwards.

Selina quite likes this thing she’s had going on with Talia, it’s far better than whatever was happening with Bruce at least.
‘Stop stealing things’, ‘Move in with me’, ‘Don’t team up against me with the Sirens’ nag, nag, nag. That’s all it had been with Bruce. Talia actually understands the things Selina does and she couldn’t give less of a shit about them. Well, she sort of does. Selina imagines that if Talia saw her pull something as boring as your standard bank robbery she’d break up with her. That’s understandable though, Selina would break up with someone who would pull a job that unfashionable.
“Why do you keep leaving?” Selina asks, stretching as she looks over to Talia packing her bag. It’s an honest question.
“Some of us have jobs.” Talia replies, no heat behind it. She leans over and kisses Selina before shouldering the bag. She walks to the door but hesitates before turning the handle.
Selina freezes from where she was still stretching. Talia never hesitates.
“What if I work was not the reason I was leaving?”
“Then I’d be ashamed of myself for not having you caught you in a lie sooner.” Selina replies, keeping her tone casual despite the fact that this is probably the most serious conversation they’ve had to date. “I don’t suppose you’re cheating on me? Because I thought you had better taste than to do something so class-less.”
“I would never.” she declares. The severity of the statement doesn’t match the conversation’s previous tone and Selina realises quite suddenly that they aren’t trying to be light-hearted about this any more. “I’m going to bring someone next time we see each other.”
“Oh?”
Talia opens the door and for a moment Selina thinks she isn’t getting a reply. Then Talia turns back, looking at Selina with an expression that could mean absolutely anything. “I hope that the two of you will mean something to each other.” she says, before walking out and closing the door softly behind her.
Selina doesn’t move for a while after that, thinking about what might be coming. She hopes it won’t change things too much, her and Talia really do have something special.
~
A couple of weeks later Selina gets back to her apartment to find Talia inspecting the blueprint she had set out on the table and a boy, perhaps eight years old, playing quietly with a couple of Selina’s cats.
Talia looks up from the blueprints. She doesn’t smile like she usually does when Selina enters a room. “This is my son. Damian.” she declares.
The boy looks up and cocks his head to one side. A part of Selina’s brain that she isn’t paying much attention to right now decides that how similar the boy looks to Bruce probably isn’t a coincidence.
In an instant Selina’s hopes that her and Talia’s relationship could continue unchanged are dashed. But as she looks at the boy being oh so careful with her kittens, she thinks she might not mind such a change after all.

The first time Talia meets Bruce’s new lover, they stab each other.
Talia tries to ignore the fact that she’s a little impressed. It had been her understanding that the woman had no formal training and Talia hadn’t really expected her to get a hit in, let alone a stab wound. “You should leave my beloved alone. This will not end well for you otherwise.” she informs the woman.
The woman looks surprised. It makes Talia pleased until she speaks. “We literally just broke up.” she says and it’s Talia’s turn to look shocked now.
“Oh.” Talia wants to shift her weight but there’s still a dagger in her side. She supposes she can’t exactly complain since there’s a sword in the woman’s. “I apologise. It seems my intel is out of date.”
The woman, Selina she supposes now, looks at Talia like she’s never seen another person before. “You think?”
A far away corner of Talia’s mind notes that the splatter of blood on Selina’s face and the arch of her eyebrow make her look the exact kind of pretty Talia likes best.
She wishes she could shake herself. This encounter isn’t going how Talia had planned it. “I suppose we should both seek medical attention now.” she says, half to change the subject and half because it’s a valid point.
“I know a place.” Selina gets up, impressively steady considering how she has to keep one hand fixed on the sword in her to stop it moving around too much. Ones she’s on her feet she looks at Talia like she’s assessing her. Talia glares right back at her, back straight and eyes narrowed. Selina must like what she sees because she cocks the corner of her mouth into something a little like a smirk. “And afterwards you could come back to mine.” she says slyly, “Just to rest, of course.”
Talia hadn’t quite expected that. She can’t say that she’s unhappy about it though. “Of course.” she echoes, “Not to dissuade you, but it is my understanding that you just broke up with someone?”
“Psh,” Selina waves the hand that isn’t holding Talia’s sword steady inside of her, “I’m not one to dwell on the past.”
Talia allows herself a smile. “Well then, how could I object?”
Thinking about the possibilities of Holly Robinson in the Reevesverse.
How Selina finds a young teenage girl who was disregarded and neglected-- a stray. How she takes her in because she knows no one else is going to without leaving her completely alone. Despite Selina's inner guilt from Annika and fear that she only endangers those she loves, Holly makes it worth it. Selina helps her recover physically/emotionally, all while not realizing that Holly's doing the same to her. Holly becomes a bright sister-figure and encourages Selina to be more optimistic and have fun.
Let's see how Selina often neglects herself if it's for Holly's sake; how she wants to see her grow up better than she did, have better chances for normalcy. Holly always insists on assisting Selina on her cat-burglaries, but she refuses to get her involved. If ever left alone in the apartment, Holly has a gun and escape plan, all compiled by Selina. She gets lessons on how to defend herself-- Selina can't manage to lose someone else.
Holly's lesbian and Selina encourges her to talk to the cute girl, Karon, down at the gas station. Holly sees obvious sparks with Selina and Bruce, often leading her to interrogate him when she can (just to see if he's good enough). Holly doesnt pressure Selina to talk about her past, especially regarding her late roommate. We see a heart-warming relationship between two female characters about healing and growing into their skin.
Batcat shenanigans 🙈

Isle Of Villainy - Voice Cast (Part 1) Every 5 years, 22 villains of the DC Universe are selected for a game show: Isle Of Villainy, a Survivor/Total Drama style reality show taking place on an abandoned island in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. This year's contestants are split into 2 groups, The Brainz & The Brawn. Hosted by The Joker, these teams will have to work together and fight for survival in different challenges based on different types of themes, all for the prize of the combined wealth of Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne, and Oliver Queen. This year's theme is Cinema, with every challenge tailored to a certain movie genre, from Romantic Musicals to Depressing War Dramas. Challenges will be won, hearts will be broken, and lasting friendships will be made. Doesn't it feel so good to be bad?
The Brainz
These villains are far smarter than they are strong, though that doesn't mean that they can't put up a good fight.
My Redesign Of Catwoman: The Princess Of Plunder
Batman- Catwoman (2021) was horrible, but at least we got Joker in swag outfits, nice art and the one funny panel where Bruce starts talking about smelling the Joker after him and Selina had their moment.
He has the hat, he has the hat!!

Pathetic little guy.
Honorable mention- Old woman Selina save me
Kickass art is by Clay Mann and Tomeu Morey!

Two half sisters who grew up on different hemispheres of the social hierarchy but can bond over sharing the same shitty abusive matricidal women killing dad?????

I still love the idea of a crowded group road trip in the sub! Except now Barbara will be holding her baby child in her arms instead of her belly.
Also, in my ideal AU of this, Penn and Martin are crammed in there as well. It’s all the makings for the best road trip comedy ever, haha :) I mean, how can you top a band of supervillains roadtripping in a cramped submarine? There could be a whole spinoff series just of this!
Ed is just going to have to make a few more calculations...
Are we there yet?!
No, but we will be in a few hours!
playing dress-up
I've recently started getting really into DC but most of my knowledge comes from movies and TV shows. So I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out where to start with the Batman comics?
