Hi everyone! I'm toast and I'm driving the Justice League Animatedverse van this month. The fandom overview's here if you need some background, and at the beginning of

mtgat's run, there's some extra context here.

This month, I'll be trying to pick fic that's got a focus on characters/pairings that don't get quite as much love from the fandom, so maybe they'll get a little more attention sometime, mm?

Fandom: JUSTICE LEAGUE ANIMATED
Pairing/Characters: J'onn J'onzz (Martian Manhunter), Wally West (The Flash)
Length: One-Shot
Author on LJ: Personal Journal:

voleuse, Fic Journal:

moodfic
Author Website: Here (It's not up at the moment, though)

Author Summary: Air fills the lungs with laughter and sharp salt.

Why this must be read: So you know who Batman and Wonderwoman and Superman are, right? And maybe you also know about the Flash and the Green Lantern, cultural symbols that they are ("The fastest man alive" ring any bells for you?). But the Martian Manhunter gets shafted just a little bit, possibly due to his lack of an identifying symbol (even Aquaman has one!)

In any case, this is a little introspective piece looking into J'onn's head as he takes a break from his duties in the League. Voleuse gives us a peek into the mind of a man who has lost his home and who can't quite seem to find his place in the new world that stands before him. It could have been frightfully angsty, but underneath the loneliness, there's a hope and an inkling of joy.
