Speaking of Slade and Adeline...

Title: More precious was the light
Summary: No tiger is as dangerous as a mother protecting her sons.
Author's Notes: AU. Does, in fact, pretty seriously alter just about everything since... okay, remember the Judas Contract? Everything after that is radically changed, by virtue of making one thing different.

Boy, did *you* let yourself in for an essay

I adore Nightwing 80-82. It shows an almost perfect characterization of the Dick/Slade dynamic.

I loved this fic as well by the way. It could turn into a very interesting AU and I would love to see how Joey's powers would have developed if he never had any contact with the Titans and Slade was dead from an early age.

If you are sending out scans of the Deathstroke series I would love to get in on that mailer, if you don't mind of course, early canon Slade is amazing.

*draws sparkly hearts all over those issues* With the snark and the clear respect and the *history* and oh, Devin, YES.

Thanks! I'm not sure I could handle writing lots in this world, because SLADE DEAD NOES, but yeah. Lots would've changed.

Joey probably wouldn't have changed that much in terms of his powers, because he developed a pretty solid handle on those while he was with Adeline, but his personality probably would have been pretty focused on his mother and pretty closed off.

Not at all. I am always willing to send people canon. It's two in the morning here, I might wait to send out too much, though.

Hee! *watches your brain explode*

Yeah, those rock, and it would still be a lot quicker. I can send you the first ten Deathstroke issues, as well as various scattered issues of NTT canon.
