Falling by 2dragonkat

Title: Falling

Author: 2dragonkat

Length: Ongoing

Pairings: Robin/Superboy and Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent

Verse: Young Justice (show)

Category: Romance

Rating: R (Sexuality, maybe language)

Summary: It was in his genes to catch people when they fell, a predisposition if you will. But Superboy found himself in the unfamiliar territory of falling. And who is supposed to catch a hero when he falls?

Personal Commentary: I’m not fond any pairings in Young Justice,but I found this to be an entertaining read. However, I do dislike how Miss. Martian is characterized and used in the story. That is the only element that really spoiled everything for me.  But, if it is not a big issue to you, go for it!

Excerpt:

Superboy knelt on the ground, his breath coming out in harsh pants. He cradled a body in his arms, the figure quiet and motionless. His arms were shaking but not from the weight of the body, but from his fear. It overwhelmed him, so much so he couldn’t respond to the voice shouting in his ear com, asking if they were okay. All he could do was stare down at the body in his arms, trembling from emotions he hadn’t yet felt in his brief existence.


The team was on a mission, doing reconnaissance on a business company Batman suspected was double dealing to the Cult of the Kobra. So they saddled up and came to the main building of this company, which might be working for Kobra, searching for clues that may help them win this undefined fight. Or at least understand where they stood. They snuck in just after midnight, splitting into teams to search the building. Superboy had been teamed with Robin, so he could protect their team’s greatest weapon against the complexity of cyberspace.

Robin had been hacking the mainframe when someone had found them, and that someone had a Kobra Venom junkie with him. Robin immediately disappeared like a wraith, going after the man that had found them. Superboy was left to fight the juiced up monster, following after his partner after he sent the beast through a window ten stories up. He had followed the sound of Robin’s banter with their foe, making his way to the roof of the skyscraper.

Superboy arrived on the rooftop just in time to watch Robin be violently knocked out by his opponent. The man looked at Superboy, a smirk distorting his pale face as he grabbed a hold of one of Robin’s ankles. Superboy realized what was about to happen a moment too late as the man swung Robin’s limp body into the air and over the ledge.

Gonna Be A Better One (A Thousand Miles To Your Door) by Traincat

Title: Gonna Be A Better One (A Thousand Miles To Your Door)

Author: Traincat

Length: 2 chapters (Complete)

Pairings: Kon-el/Tim Drake

Category: Romance

Rating: PG-13 (sexuality)

Summary: Tim quits being Robin, cutting all ties with his vigilante life, but Kon refuses to quit Tim.  Hoping to hold on to their relationship, Kon takes action to keep his boy wonder in his life.

Personal Commentary:  In this AU, Tim and Kon have an established relationship. It’s full of fluff, and some parts are definitely chuckle-worthy.

—————————————————————————————

Excerpt:

Chapter 1: you and only me and no one else

If the world was ending, then kissing Kon seemed like the thing to do.

It had made sense at the time – the sky dark with thousands of enemy ships, the grey clouds between them like splintering cracks, and Tim hadn’t wanted this regret too, so he had fisted his hands in Kon’s shirt, crumpling the S shield between his fingers, and stretched up on his toes.

As first kisses went, it was pretty fantastic, even if Kon tasted like sweat and ash, alien jet fuel splattered across his face. The audience of killer robots wasn’t ideal, but beggars couldn’t be choosers, and Tim had wanted to kiss Kon so badly.

The problem was the world didn’t end.

Which left Kon and Tim standing back-to-back together in the rubble, beaten and bloody but altogether alright.

It wasn’t the most awkward silence Tim had ever been part of it, but it was solidly in the top three. Then Kon threw up his arms and let out a wild whoop and Tim felt a smile tug at his lips; he quickly bit down on it.

“We won!” Kon exclaimed, grinning at the clearing sky like it was the best and most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.

“We did,” Tim said. He didn’t look at Kon. “Same old world.”

“Good ol’ world,” Kon corrected. He started to walk, ambling between bits of broken spaceship and fizzling, dismantled robots. Tim hesitated a moment before he fell in step. “So, hey. Back there. What was that?”

Tim swallowed hard. He kicked a broken bit of spaceship out of his way. This was his chance to say, that was nothing or, what are you talking about? Did you breathe in any of those spaceship fumes?, but his lips still tingled from where Kon had kissed back.

“Heat of the moment,” he replied after a beat. It wasn’t, strictly speaking, untrue.

“Yeah?” Kon said. He tipped his head back, drumming his fingers against his thighs. Tim shot him a sideways glance. “’Cause I was thinking… we could probably do it again. If you wanted.”

“I,” Tim said, heart in his throat, and apparently that was all the confirmation Kon needed. He turned on his heels and caught Tim’s face between his big, warm hands. The press of his lips was solid and real.

“Well?” he said when he pulled back, searching Tim’s face. His eyes were superhumanly blue.

“Well,” he returned, mouth a perfectly serious line. He grabbed Kon’s arms, keeping him in place. Kon’s face broke out in a grin.

“Yeah?” he said, and, laughing under his breath, Tim seconded, “yeah.”

Kon kissed him again. It was, Tim had to admit, a little breathtaking.

“Man,” he said against his lips. “I am so going to be the heat of your moment.”

Tim drew back, his grip on Kon’s wrists slackening.

“That was terrible,” he said. Kon waggled his eyebrows. “And stop doing that thing. Is this what you’re going to be like from now on?”

“Oh, a million times worse,” Kon replied sincerely. Tim suspected he really shouldn’t have felt so happy about that.

It All Works Out in the End: A Story Starring Robin’s Rear End by Anonymous

Title: It All Works Out in the End: A Story Starring Robin’s Rear End

Author: Anonymous

Length: One-shot

Pairings: None

Category: Humor

Rating: PG (Butts, Butts, Butts)

Summary: A Tale of Robin’s Rear End. Really. Takes place during Young Justice, and interestingly enough, the silly tone of the entire story really reminds me of the actual 90’s Young Justice comic. 

————————————————————————————————

Excerpt:

“OWWWOWWWOWWWOWWWW!”

“I didn’t know he could make that noise…”

“OWWWWOWW!”

“Nice shot, A.”

“I didn’t mean it!”

“OWWOWWSOMEBODYGETITOwwwUT!!!”

“Ummm… I’m not touching it.”

“You do it, Supes!  That tactile telekinesis has ta be good for sumthin’!”

“I think he’s prefer if one of the girls got it out.  I don’t think he
swings that way.”

“I think someone with gloves should do it.”

“We’re all wearing gloves.”

“I’M NOT!”

“Me neither!”

“I don’t care who’s wearing gloves, somebody GET IT OUT!”

“Impy, maybe if you pull it really fast it won’t hurt.”

*whimper*

It was supposed to be the perfect week.

My first week of summer vacation.

I’d skidded through my first semester at Brentwood with, well, marks good
enough that they were letting me come back.  Probably could have done better
if I had spent my evenings studying with Ali instead of fighting the forces
of evil, but hey, we’ve all got priorities.

Anyway, the week before I arrived home, Dad announced that he and Dana were
going on a vacation.  In Europe.

I was totally psyched up to immerse myself in a whole week of sidekicking.

Then Alfred told me that Bruce was going on a business trip and would be
scaring the poop out of bad guys in Keystone City until Friday.

Which, while it was a minor downer, was not a total disappointment.  There
is always excitement to be had in the life of this Boy Wonder.  A few phone
calls later, and my week was crammed with green tights and bang-a-rangs.

Monday was something of Young Justice reunion— all of us had promised to
be there.  I hadn’t seen them in… well, long enough that hanging with Bart
Allen still seemed like a fun idea.

    Tuesday, I was spending the night with Dick.  I think Dick’s always wanted
his own sidekick, so he tries to bum me off Bruce whenever he thinks he can
get away with it.

Wednesday, I promised Oracle I’d help her fix up her mainframe a little.  
After what Blockbuster and his guys did to it… grr.  Just grr.
Steph had laid claim on Thursday.  I wasn’t quite sure what she had in mind,
since her mom had confiscated all her Spoiler stuff, but I wasn’t
complaining.

And Friday, it was back to the traditional gig, sidekicking with the best.  
I wanted to impress Bruce with some of the little tricks I’d cooked up at
school.  Not that I have ever managed to impress Bruce, but it’s always fun
to try.

Well, Monday went as planned.

A Displaced Red Robin by dragonprincess1988 

Title: A Displaced Red Robin

Author: dragonprincess1988

Length: 8 Chapters(ongoing)

Pairing: None

Category: Gen

Rating: PG

Summary: Tim gets transported to the cartoon Young Justice world, and he’s not sure he knows how to deal with it.

——————————————————————————————————-

Excerpt:

Tim lands on a rooftop, and scans his surroundings. His head feels like it’s just been put through a juicer, and he’s not as steady on his feet as he would like. He knows this feeling well…they all do. It’s how ones body always feels after being transported from one world to another, and the residual effects are always worse when said body didn’t have any time to prepare. Tim is really getting sick of the unexpected multiverse travel. It always presents such a multitude of problems, and maybe he would think more on that if he wasn’t in the middle of trying to find cover while a Robin comes tumbling through the sky towards him.
