A Day in the Life by MizzMarvel (R)

Why this must be read:

I am a total sucker for superheroes in their mundane, everyday lives, and this is one of my favourite stories of this type. As with all good fiction of its kind, there is some heavy-duty character exploration beneath all the domesticity.

Kon's characterisation here is absolutely spot-on, with a depth he's been sorely lacking in recent canon. This Kon is the logical follow-on to the Kon from the pages of Superboy and Young Justice, a Kon who remembers everything that happened in the past, and is still reacting to it; and yet, he also somehow manages to fit his current Teen Titans characterisation.

If you're not a big fan of Kon, this fic may help sway you somewhat. I find him much easier to relate to in this story than I do in current canon – I may have never had to deal with being mind-controlled by my evil genius father, but I can totally understand a lot of what Kon's going through here.

A Day in the Life



Hi, I'm Apathy, and I'll be dealing out the DC crack this December. My favourite teams are Young Justice and Justice League International/Superbuddies, and I have a particular obsession with fondness for speedsters and second-stringers. I like gen, het, and slash, and will be reccing mostly comedy and character pieces, with some porn on the side. Hopefully, there'll be something there for everybody. ;)
