thete1 made my DAY.

Frequent readers of this journal may have noticed that recs of other people's stories, fan-art, etc... don't happen here often, or at all, really. There are good reasons for this, mostly that there are plenty of people out there doing recs whose opinion people actually care about, and secondarily that if I rec some people / projects then anyone I don't rec wonders why. Plus, I don't get enough actual content written and posted as it is, without spending a lot of time writing up reviews, even brief ones, and putting links in them and all that rot. Maybe someday I'll sign up for a month at crack_van.

Anyway.

Today, there is an exception to my established practice. Because today, Te wrote Static slash. (That's the Static Shock toon, not the Milestone Static comic it's based on, for those in the know.) As Te said, fandom is becoming a sex pollen-nation. I won't spoil any more than that. But hey, it's a Te story. What else do you need to know?

Go. Read. Love.

Te wanted Tim/Kon, what else is new... I finished a story, that's new...

So, instead of playing the generator game this morning -- i.e., click on the DC Random Pairings Generator or the DC Random Scenario Generator, and write for five minutes or until you get a snippet done, whichever comes first, racing against your partner -- Te and I played the generators ourselves, tossing ideas at each other until something stuck. We also wrote for rather longer than five minutes; Te's Static slash took her closer to forty minutes, and I finished mine in about an hour. I've only made minimal corrections since then, but here it is.

( Steeple Height Into the Air (Gotham/Teen Titans, NC-17) Tim/Kon )

The title is taken from this quotation: "The drake will mount steeple height into the air." It was used as a context example for the 'duck' sense of the word 'drake' in the 1913 edition of Webster's Dictionary, but in the entry it's attributed only to "Walton" and while a number of online sources have the definitions section of that dictionary, no one seems to have included the bibliography or other notes where, presumably, a more complete attribution might be found. If any of my fellow antique-books collectors (though 1913 is rather new to be considered antique) should happen to have a copy of this around, or any other idea of who "Walton" might be, I'd appreciate being able to give proper credit.
