Title: Light
Rating: PG13
Fandom: A very timeline-mixed DCU.
Summary: It's the JLA's job to save both entire worlds and individual lives. Sometimes it works the other way, too.
Author Notes: The JLA is from Morrison's early run, the rest of the world is just about pre-OYL.
Realization: That didn't look as crazy in my head as it does on the screen.

( It was fitting for them to fight as the so-called heroes and villains raged across the skies in yet another meaningless battle. They alone, flesh and blood, knew of death.Collapse )

Title: All The Living Who Walk Under the Sun
Rating: PG13
Fandom: DC AU, with toonverse overtones.
Summary: After running away, Cass lived for a while on the streets.
Author Notes: katarik asked for something; I don't think it was quite this, but what can I do? Cass usually brings the fluff out of me.

( She knew who he was since the first time she saw him.Collapse )

Title: Night of Peace
Rating: PG13
Fandom: DCU
Summary: It's not a Christmas tradition for Batgirl, but it is a tradition.
Author Notes: Written for kiezh, although it might not be exactly as requested. It more or less assumes the reader is familiar with this scan.

( It was many years later.Collapse )

A Christmas ficlet for cosmicastaway.

Title: To Fall Willingly Into Your Embrace
Rating: PG18 on the outside
Fandom: DCU
Summary: Seduction works at many levels.
Author Notes: Current Teen Titans continuity, more or less. Inspired by jadecaptain. Many thanks to katarik for beta - any remaining mistakes, I wrote in just before posting.


( If he were alive, Kon would have loved to watch this.Collapse )

Fuck you, DC. Cass was Batgirl, too. I don't know or care *who* is the new person in the Batgirl suit. Maybe she's Babs. Maybe she's somebody else. Maybe she's somebody else I'll come to like like whoa. That's not the point.

The point, DC, is this: You drove Cass OOC. Then you made her kill. Then you made her bugfuck-insane-crazy OOC. And then you made a character say, with all the metatextual trappings of a "Look, in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!," that he didn't see the "quiet, mopey one," that "the real Batgirl was back."

That's not how it works, DC. You don't get to *erase* somebody like that and then tell us that you are about *icons* and *legends*. Outside the trinity, you couldn't recognize iconic if it bit you in the ass.

I swear, there are months when fanfic is the only reason why I care about what DC is doing.
