Ficlet: Boys in Black and Blue.

[momebie]

So, metonymy and I have been flailing at each other about John Blake and Barbara Gordon for a few days. She dropped them into my prompt request on Tumblr and I've finally had a moment to play with them. So if you're interested, here's ~700 words of John Blake and Barbara Gordon.

AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE

BOOKS AND JUSTICE AND BLACK AND BLUE

JOHN YOU ARE SO BAD WITH GIRLS IT'S HILARIOUS

And I love how the boys are a palpable presence and that the manor has been totally transformed, and how Babs just knows everything because she is that sharp and observant, and John is still trying so hard to maintain that mask. AND KISSES. Excuse me while I roll around on my bed meeping happily. <333333

LOOK, HE HASN'T HAD A LOT OF TIME TO BE WITH GIRLS WHO AREN'T ON THE FORCE. HE'S TOO BUSY BEING SERIOUS ABOUT JUSTICE. HE MIGHT THINK BABS IS A BIT OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE. BUT SOON, SOON HE'LL REALIZE SHE'S REALLY NOT. Hm. We do need to figure out how to make her Batgirl in this universe, though. I am, admittedly, not as up on my Batgirl canon as I am on my Robin canon. I should look into that.

Babs is definitely the sort of librarian and archivist that knows the kinds of books you need before you do. She just pays that much attention to everything. Never know when something will come in handy. She used to beg her dad to take her on stake outs.

And um. I might do their first meeting too? And maybe a date or something? And then maybe the Bat Cave? I don't know! I love them so much!
