Pavement Cracks Finale...kind of

May 27, 2010 14:15

Howdy. This fic has been imagined as part of a series from the beginning, so while this is the last chapter of Pavement Cracks, it is far from the last chapter of the Pavement Cracks universe. I'll have the first chapter of Late Morning Lullabye up in the near future, and I'm very sorry for the lousy transition.

Title: Pavement Cracks (final chappie ( Read more... )

trickster, fanfic, lex luthor, captain cold, pied piper

I think the mental image of Lex with krptonite stuck in his forehead like a bindi may have killed my brain with awesome!

oh noes! i cannot kill your brain now, you has more of the awesome fic to write...

unless ghost!ivy is able to write fic as well...

at which point i have no problem with killing your brain with awesome, and shall attempt it again in the future ;)

(this detail didn't make it into the fic, but just for funsies, lex wasn't even fighting superman. it was krypto what blew up the kryptonite and trashed the robo-suit)

No fear, I keep several extras in jars stashed in the Not-So-Secret Lab for precisely these sorts of occasions. ;)

Krypto the Superdog? Oh Lex...you fail at life. XD

i haven't used lex all that much yet, but i've got this idea of him having two modes (of which i will mostly use the second). the first lex is very together, manipulative and plotty. the epitome of that version would be the JLU episode where he goads superman into trashing a charity project in a battle with captain marvel. that is definitely lex at his evil best.

the second version is the one swayed by his passions, where hid judgment goes right out the window. i call this the 'just-got-his-hands-on-a-giant-chunk-of-kryptonite-and-goes-on-a-parade-through-downtown-metropolis-lex'. he just kinda forgets his plotting-genius status in his lust to kill kryptonians, including the dog, and in the process is more easily taken down.

Aw cool!

Loved the Piper Is Not A Morning Person bit, and great action scene with the fight at Kendra's. Poor Lenny...

groggy!piper has been transported from DISTD. later chapters of that fic will feature piper trying to deal with dating someone who considers four hours of sleep a good night XD

"I used it to dye my hair pink!"
"We remember,"

GOD DAMN I LOVE TRICKSTER. I also have an odd hankering for amoxicillin, now.

defying3reason May 28 2010, 17:10:01 UTC

oh the bubblegum medicine. i used to love that stuff.

Ugh. I always hated amoxicillin. xcoffeespoonx May 28 2010, 21:38:29 UTC

You are mean. Just leaving it like that. I do *love* your explanation for JLU!Trickster's pink hair, but I must stick to the Kool Aid Death Trap theory. ;) And I am mad at Lex for dissing My Boyfriend. Jerk. :P

Re: Ugh. I always hated amoxicillin. defying3reason May 28 2010, 22:33:27 UTC

to be fair, lex was suffering from a pretty bad headache at the time (although i don't imagine him to have a particularly sunny disposition the rest of the time so i suppose it's a moot point XP)

and i'm not leaving it like that. new chappie in the next fic is going to pick up the kendra storyline in small bursts, with the main focus being on a new piper/trickster story arc. hoping to post sometime next week *fingers crossed*

Poor Lenny, nobody understand you.
As ever, I really liked it, and I'm glad you'll write more about this universe. And after all the time they took to be together, the day life fluff between Pip and Tricks had my little fangirl heart go all happy.
Pavement Cracks was awesome

aw, thank you much :) i've got quite a lot more planned for this universe, i just didn't want to put it all under one fic heading. it's kinda sorta divided by where it fits in the timeline, so the early silver age is winding down.

-_- unfortunately all they're giving me now is the daily life fluff stuffs. tricks is determined to keep me from stepping up the drama again. oh well. i'll reassert my will over the runaway characters again eventually.
