Huh. I had more of these than I expected! This is also Snippet Amnesty, since I don't see many of these actually getting finished other than Hey Kids.

a) Hey Kids, aka Adventures in Solitude, aka The Miraculous Autumn of Jaime Reyes, probably aka something else by the time I'm done with it. The Jaime epic story of epic. Keeps getting longer because there is nothing I love more than to get all my favorite Titans bantering at each other. Here, have a handful of tasty snippets:

“So is this becoming a thing for you now? With the randomly pulling me around and acting coy?”

Tim continues to - surprise - pull Jaime by the arm and act coy. “Now you're talking like an Aaron Sorkin character.”

“If I were an Aaron Sorkin character, I'd speechify a heck of a lot more about being a self-righteous yet vaguely guilty moderate liberal. Also, I'd be white.”

and

“Kon, do you remember how it felt back when people didn't take you very seriously?” Bart's found a pair of oversized safety goggles; with the clipboard, he looks like some kind of demented mad scientist.

Kon points at him with his sandwich. “Are you trying to make me learn a moral lesson? Cut that shit out.”

and

"Oh my God, and we wonder why we have recruitment problems?" Tim's mouth is open in faux-Valley Girl outrage. "Gee, I wonder why! Surely it has nothing to do with the fact that people keep joining up and DYING. Or bitching amongst ourselves more than actually getting anything done."

“What, you mean that you doubt our commitment to Sparkle Motion or something?”

“Of course he didn't mean it that way,” Jaime says, while Tim says, “That is absolutely what I mean.”

and

Jaime looked to the nearest person for confirmation. “So that's... Tim's... wig.”

Mia shrugged. “Batpeople, man. Whatcha gonna do.”

Okay, that's enough until the damn thing gets finished.


b) The aforementioned Paco and Kon's Excellent Adventure. Which I actually don't have any more of besides my sentence about the cows. Kon loves those cows, dude.

c) Apocalyptic fic idea originally conceived back when I thought I was doing apocabigbang. Wherein the first generation of heroes is all but wiped out, and now Dick's generation (and Tim's!) are in charge of resettling the Earth's survivors. Every time I try to write this, it starts sounding like the political stuff in Battlestar Galactica. I can't decide whether I like that or not.

"I can do diplomacy. You charm the pants off of everyone and I'll threaten to blow shit up."

"You are definitely outlawed from any and all diplomatic missions, Jay."

"Shame." Jason knows that it's entirely inappropriate, but he can't stop grinning these days. Something about the way that everyone's too preoccupied to grump at him lately.

d) Post Adventure Comics #3 fic: the non-happy version! I totally want to write a happyish continuation of that issue, but I haven't actually figured out the angle for it yet.

He kisses Tim because he's seen that look before – on Cassie, on sunny girls who tossed their glossy hair over their shoulders, giggling. That look mapped onto Tim's face is unsettling in its fierceness, a Kryptonite sucker-punch. And his body's all wrong but Kon's run out of other ways to keep Tim from going again, again.

e) A riff on Gloss' Battle for the Couch that sadly never came to much.

Tim jabs his finger towards Jay's chest like an outraged housewife. “I don't know what kind of head game you're playing-”

“Yes, that's exactly it, duckling. I'm leading poor innocent Dickie astray by using my brotherly wiles. He weeps every night as I suck his cock.”

Man, know what I miss? DRABBLES. Those were the days.

I've read the bits of The Epic Fic of Jaime a dozen times already and I can't stop clapping my hands with glee and grinning like a fool.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW! :DDD

HEARTS! IN MY EYES! SO MANY, MANY HEARTS! ♥_♥

Sadly, Caroline does not actually make an appearance in this. Just her hair. :D

[sockich]

That's OK, I can live with Tim acting in a manner befitting a member of the Batfamily and Jaime being confused (and Mia being snarky and awesome).

So excited, seriously. :D

[riseupwithfists]

Mia is winning my HEART again lately. I've been taking pains to make sure that all the ladiez in this story aren't just window dressing, and Mia is just fabulous to write.

This image will keep me warm at night.

Also, I'd be white.”

:(

[riseupwithfists]

I swear, half of this story is me thinking of cute situations to place Bart in. The plot is seriously held captive to his whims. Not that this is a bad thing.

Sorkin's such an easy target, but some jokes just have to be made. :(

Katefic wins the day!

I love the Titans stuff. And Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. And also Jaime ♥

[riseupwithfists]

I started getting really excited and pasting all of my favorite bits into the posting box, but a girl's gotta have some surprises up her sleeve.

Jay's not gonna let a little thing like the end of the world spoil his good times.

♥Jaime♥ And wow, I didn't realize until I saw the snippets out of context that Tim is psychotically bitchy and outspoken here. Whups?

[merelymine]

Epic Jaime story?! *grabby hands*

Kon points at him with his sandwich. “Are you trying to make me learn a moral lesson? Cut that shit out.”

AwesomeAwesomeAwesome. :D <-- MY FACE.

"Shame." Jason knows that it's entirely inappropriate, but he can't stop grinning these days. Something about the way that everyone's too preoccupied to grump at him lately.

Ha! Also, JAY <333.

[riseupwithfists]

An epic Jaime story of epic! Wherein I bend, fold, spindle and mutilate recent canon to fulfill my devious purposes. And wherein Tim decides that he needs to snag himself a Beetle, because there is like no Jaime/Tim fic. I have searched the world.

Jay is like a cockroach! Or Cher! He will survive!

[merelymine]

There should be tons more Tim/Jaime stories. At some point I will finish one of mine. :/ I fully approve of canon mangling for ficcish needs!

This is the only Tim/Jaime stuff I've found. About 1/3 of the way down the page. :D

[riseupwithfists]

I think that there's actually more Tim/Jaime fanart on LJ than fic! Which is neat, as it's cute art, but still. But thank you for the link, I will definitely take advantage of it this weekend. :)

[haunted]

I love all of these (especially Jaime and Mia against the general insanity of the rest of the teen heroes), but Kon and Paco as dudebros is making me *____*, srsly.

[riseupwithfists]

Mia is so underrated.

It would almost be TOO MUCH BRO. Almost.

[keeva]

Awesomeness, all of this.
