Hi, I'm ladyoneill and I'll be driving the DC comics van this month. I've only been in the fandom a couple of years but I've discovered some wonderful stories out there that haven't been recced yet. I mostly read Batfic so that's probably what most of them will be, but I might slip something else in there on you and I have a fantastic crossover fic waiting for you on the 15th. This is my first time driving so if I mess something up, let me know!
I hope you enjoy the stories and I can't believe this series hasn't been recced yet!
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Bruce/Olly/Dinah, Tim/Kon/Mia, Roy/Dick are the main ones
Length: Series of 53 fics, some drabble size, some around 8-10k
Author on LJ:ilyena_sylph and merfilly
Author Website: none that I know of outside of their livejournals
Why this must be read:Whenever I'm sad or tired or depressed, I read one or more of these fics and get all happy. This series, a redo of One Year Later, fixes the DC universe in amazing ways. Characters come back from the dead or missing; romances are renewed or created; love is discovered and grown; a family is born; and Alfred is just perfect in every fic he's in. The series is set around holidays after a few short fics set in the distant past, and a few right after the Final Crisis and the beginning of the Bat Family's trek around the world. Some of the stories are NC17 for gorgeous sex scenes and others are wonderful family stories. The authors' grasp and development of the characters is wonderful. The series truly is a Happyverse.
The bike came to a stop, and Dinah slid off the bike, her helmeted rider a little slower to get free.
Tim tensed, seeing something gut-wrenchingly familiar in the way her passenger moved... //I have to be seeing things, what the Hell Dinah, what's going on?//
As soon as Tim tensed, Mia moved into his space, ready to take his side againt the world if necessary. The passenger flinched, reaching up slowly to remove the helmet she had insisted he wear. Dinah kept her eyes on Tim as she spoke. "I brought home another family member, everyone."
The stranger reached up and pulled the helmet off--and Dick froze, his jaw dropping. //Holy shit...// That face was damn familiar, but he was dead... Hell, he'd watched him die, listened to those last words, seen his brother fall apart at the loss...
Tim fought to keep still, watching as the helmet came down--the face was one he only saw in his dreams, one that couldn't be here, now, not while he was awake... His hands locked into hard fists at his sides, nails biting deep, and the teen with his best friend's face and body spoke. "Wonderboy, knock that off... don't I even get a hello?" That voice, god, that voice... everything was right, but it wasn't possible...
Roy's eyes went as big as they possibly could, and it clicked why she had insisted on Titans only for this...only Titans should see this kind of emotion on a Robin. Mia could feel tears waiting to be shed, a lump in her throat as she saw Superboy standing there.
Tim shuddered, trying to catch his breath, hand coming up against his throat, his head spinning, black dancing around the edges of his vision... he started to take a step forward, even though he didn't believe it he had to try--and his knees buckled under him as the black took over. He could feel himself dropping but he couldn't stop it, sick nausea in his throat....
Mia was there, arms sliding under and around to take his weight ...and then she was knocked off her feet, falling back with the heavier weight of Tim coming down on her as well. "What the f...?" she growled, taking the landing hard on one cheek and hip.
"Mia?!" Roy's protectiveness reared up instantly for his 'kid sister', knowing Dick would see to Tim.
"Damn...not what I intended at all," Dinah said mournfully, watching Tim collapse.
"Tim?!" Kon was suddenly there, kneeling at their sides, reaching out for him, "Sorry, Speedy, my control's still kind of screwed up..." He went to lift Tim off her.
Dick was there, kneeling at Tim's other side, eyes flashing dark at the boy across from him as he tried to take Tim out of Mia's arms. "Superboy..." //You'd better be who we think you are, or I swear to God I'll put you in a grave.//
The growl and the body were familiar, the unmasked face wasn't but there was no doubt who this was. "Hey, Nightwing," Kon said with a shrug, all of his attention focused on the Robin he'd pulled out of Mia's arms to let her get up. "Tim. Tim, c'mon, Wonderboy, open those baby blues for me..." //Come on, lemme see that you're okay...//
Mia made a small attempt to hold on to Tim, caught herself, and pushed back...right into Roy's waiting arms. He hugged her tight, his own eyes stormy as he checked her over, kneeling at her side.
"S'okay, Superboy." Mia had no right to be protective over Tim to the boy who had been...at the very least...his best friend, and she patted at Roy's hand, trying to calm him down.
Dinah stayed back, worried that this had all undone whatever peace Tim had finally found.
Tim's eyes came open slowly, feeling the hard strength of an inhuman body under his, familiar arms around him, scent of ozone and male and his best friend in his nose, and the voice he'd missed so desperately in his ears, trying to call him back... "K-kon?" he couldn't believe he was stuttering, and he opened his eyes, looking up at--//god, that's right, everything's right, it looks like him, sounds like...//
Kon nodded, "Hey, Wonderboy..."
