Non-Optional Social Convention

[smittywing]

This has been a hard week for reasons I can't even pin down. wojelah suggested "Bar Detox" and that makes about as much sense as anything. I am still without employ and I desperately miss feeling like a productive member of society (which is not strictly an employment thing - I have no significant other or kids and I could honestly go over a week

Oh dear, I feel slightly awkward commenting here b/c I usually lurk. Anyways! I've been reading your fic ever since you started the Potatoverse (and now you are writing for Thor, which is my new fandom shiny and also why I am back to er, lurk >.>), and I've been wondering for yeeeaaarrrrss, what happens next with Tim and Cass in The Story of Dinah and Bruce. I mean, obviously they end up together, but I was wondering exactly how that happened.

Oh, please don't feel awkward! I promise I am a nice person. :)

Oh, The Story of Dinah and Bruce! (I have not left a story unfinished since that one, I swear.) So I just had the most fun hours or so - I couldn't remember, and the file was on a flash drive from when I had moved over everything that was on disks. So I found a whole bunch of things I had forgotten about and then I had to read TSODAB to see where I'd stopped and everything. So, this is the scene I wrote for them getting together. I don't know if I would have used it or if I would have rewritten it or written something else. But it's easier to just post/read than describe, right? OMG, things I wrote 8 years ago. *hides face* *peeks out* And apparently I need two comments. Oops?

Tim walked into the kitchen, his tie down to the second button, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and his glasses in his pocket. His graduate class had run over tonight and he was tired and in need of something to drink. He paused when he saw Cassandra sitting at the kitchen table,

!!! An actual excerpt! So beyond what I was expecting! *rolls around in delight!* And d'awwww, Tim and Cass, whyareyousocuteandperfectomggg?! :D

Cassandra stared at him like he was loony. "Fall on floor."

Oh Cass. ILU bb, never change. ♥~

Thank you so much for this! Tim and Cass have gotten such a raw deal in the comics, so it's nice to see them all cute and happy here. Long live the Potatoverse!

Aw, yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I...only have vague ideas of what's going on with Tim and Cass in the comics but it sounds kind of horrible. They're such adorable characters! Why must people do terrible things to them?
