Cling & The Best Laid Plans

[silentfire.livejournal.com]

My rec table.

Claim: DC Comics, Tim Drake
Title: Cling
Author: Jane St. Clair (3jane)
Characters: Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne
Prompt: 9. Hurt/Comfort
Rating: Adult
Length: Short (1500 words)
Brief summary: This story is set immediately after Identity Crisis #6, and Tim, understandably, needs to be comforted. Unfortunately for him, the only one around is Bruce, and giving comfort is one of the very few things the man *cannot do*. Poor Tim.

Tim keeps trying to get closer to him. Scrabbling with his feet on the wet tile and pulling with both arms. He's going to climb right into Bruce in a minute. All of him screaming, don't let go of me.

Bruce brings his arms up. Pulls Tim in against him tight and locks him there, almost immobile.

I've got you

This might be the only thing he has right now that Tim needs.

Claim: DC Comics, Tim Drake
Title: The Best Laid Plans
Author: Audrey (d0wn_on_paper)
Characters: Tim Drake, Kon-El, Lex Luthor
Prompt: 38. Betrayal
Rating: Teen
Length: Short (3000 words)
Brief summary: Kon wasn't supposed to turn evil and join Luthor; Tim promised him he wouldn't let that happen. Both boys have been betrayed, but they still want to have sex with each other. Typical.

Except that Kon is *looking* at him. Again. And not saying anything, which is...

"Kon? Are you- what *happened* to you?"

Really, *really* wrong. Kon's attitude has always been 'crack jokes about impending doom until Robin snaps like a twig and pummels him', and Tim has fought enough evil twins and mind-controlled teammates to form the entirely valid theory that a silent Kon is usually an evil Kon.

Crap.
