DC: Quick Thinking / But Why Do Fools Fall in Love / Scar Tissue
Quick Thinking by LovelyZelda
Flash doesn't always have time to think.
If he had to choose, Flash would probably have gone with being able to wear a cape. Capes looked awesome--it was just the wind resistance and getting caught in things and possibly strangling aspect that was a problem. Or getting sucked into a jet engine even though Flash didn't have to worry about that, and Superman said that never happened. Everybody knew Superman didn't lie, and when he and Batman stood there with their capes billowing majestically in the wind (because they knew the secret to standing in just the right place so your cape billowed majestically behind you instead of hitting you in the face) you'd believe anything. It was just the most superheroic thing ever. Even if 90% of the superhero community didn't wear capes because they were impractical and a total pain in the butt and usually just made you look stupid.
But Why do Fools Fall in Love by fresne [Vic Sage/Helena]
Her garbage was interesting. Extremely interesting. That was the first thing that he noticed about Huntress. Long before he met her. Not Batman interesting, who kept an incinerator in his room and was therefore was an eternal paranoid enigma. Or Wonder Woman interesting in that her trashcan was a Greek urn of unknown manufacture circa 405 BC. Superman’s garbage was somewhat comfortingly boring. But the Huntress, no, her garbage was extremely interesting. In that way, Huntress was interesting. The sort of person who was made up of thirty-two and not thirty-one flavors.
Scar Tissue by Smitty [Dick/Babs]
Some scars heal more easily than others.
Dick dropped back on the blanket, covering his eyes with his arms and trying to mask his laughs with a groan. He didn't exactly succeed. At any other time, the manipulation of such expression would have been child's play for a protégé of the Bat. Not here, though, not now. Dick never could be anyone but his true self around Barbara, and he had no desire to change that. Least of all on a sunny spring day like today.
