A Roof for the Rain by Merelyfic (PG-13)

[mithen.livejournal.com]

Hi! My name's mithen and I'll be driving the DC Crack Van this month! In brightest day, in blackest night, no awesome fic shall escape my sight!

Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Dick Grayson/Tim Drake
Length: 2,000 words
Author on LJ: merelyfic
Author Website: Fic index on LJ
Why this must be read:

Because sometimes you just need to read some damp, wounded boys cuddling and sharing a first kiss while listening to the rain. A quiet, sweet fic with touches of hurt/comfort (Tim patches Dick up after a patrol) and a warm first-time vibe, this is one of my go-to fics for when I want to feel warm fuzzies. Merelyfic manages all this without it seeming OOC or being sappy, which is a fanfic miracle.

Excerpt: There’s a rhythm to this. It’s peaceful and familiar in a way that Tim doesn’t really want to think too closely about. The smells of blood and antiseptic are almost overpowering but beneath them he can smell the rain, brought in by Dick’s skin, and the smell of Dick’s skin itself, warming steadily under his hands. A comfort of touch that he rarely allows himself to take.

Wanted to thank you for reccing this; I hadn't encountered this writer before and I've just spent a most entertaining morning poking around reading the fic on her LJ and it's all absolutely excellent. Such a nice change to see hot sex fic with decent characterisation - and a high percentage of first-times, too, always my favourite genre.

Isn't she great? Her Dick/Tim stories very much won me over to the pairing (and then her Tim/Kon won me back...basically whatever she's writing I'm shipping, lol).
