Why this must be read:
Once upon a time, two superheroes fell hard for each other, shagged like bunnies, and broke up spectacularly. Lantern moped around for a bit, then started dating a supermodel voiced by Gina Torres; shortly thereafter, Hawkgirl rejoined the League. The two women developed a touchy but fascinating relationship over the rest of the series. They were both strong, intelligent, gorgeous, and emotionally involved with the same man, but they managed to form a solid, even teasing, friendship.
Fanfic has not been as good to Vixen as canon has. She is often portrayed as whiny, conniving, and overall "less worthy" of Lantern's affections. "In Glass Houses" is a rare, wonderful piece that gives Vixen her own voice, as she tries to come to terms with this other woman in her lover's life.
voleuse writes brief snapshots from her POV, presenting without dwelling, giving just enough detail to sketch a portait hinting at rich detail.
She's honored by the invitation to join the Justice League, and maybe a little curious. Not many people get to see these heroes up close, and she's been wanting to do just that since she first saw them on TV.
Truth be told, she's a little wary of the rest of the new members, but cooperation appeals to her. She likes being treated with respect because of what she can do, instead of what she's wearing.
When Green Lantern ("Call me John. Please.") sits down across the table from her and smiles, Mari decides she doesn't mind if the outfit gets her noticed, either.
