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.

Thank you! I... this is probably the first Slade-dies story I've ever written where someone else wasn't holding my hand the entire time.

Grant isn't so very different from canon!Grant. Joey, however... a Joey who never met the Titans is a Joey who had no one really meaningful in his life except his mother. A Joey who never became Jericho.

Adeline. Oh, Adeline. I *love* that woman, and almost no one writes about her. She... I am, actually, in the process of making a fansite about her, because she was strong and smart and skilled and kicked utter ass and on the Newsarama boards I was playing in, people had forgotten her name.

This really was kind of a rocks fall, everybody dies kind of story. I'm sorry I killed you, Titans!

And I have to wonder how Wally felt when he heard the news, having quit not long before.

I appreciate the comment, and am glad you enjoyed.

Personally I explain away the evil Jericho thing as Joey still Azareth souls haunting him. So I willing not to crusify Johns, unlike some *cough*Willingham* *cough*Leslie*cough*.

[katarik]

*nods* That was my explanation.

WTFingham does not get mentioned in my journal. Grr. Argh. KILL.

*hides Steph and Leslie from him*

[katarik]

Well, if he was never taken over by the Azarathian souls, he would never have become evil in the first place, let alone come back evil. *eyes DC*

I would actually really like to explore who Adeline might have been if Slade had died, so if the spirit moves me... I shall write more. I'm not sure how much story there is to tell, though; none of the Titans' allies, Batman and such, even knew about her.

Yes. They forgot her name. One poster thought *Rose* was Slade's wife, at which point I felt ill.

I have two OTPs for Slade Wilson: Slade/Dick and Slade/Adeline. I just... *starry eyes* ADELINE YAYES. It's *canon* that he fell in love with her because she was so tough.

:D *wins*

Yes. They forgot her name. One poster thought *Rose* was Slade's wife, at which point I felt ill.

*flails, and not in a good way* Nonononononononononononononononononononooooo...

On another note *twitchtwitch* isn't '2 OTPs' kinda a contradiction? *twitchtwitch*

[katarik]

*seconds your flailing of no*

Well... kinda but not really? I wouldn't have those OTPs going at the same *time*...

[ruefus]

Oh, hell no. O__O

Addie doesn't share.

Also, Slade doesn't sleep around on people. Sleeps around, yes, but he's hardly going to be in a relationship and cheat.

His word, after all, is his bond.
