I was supposed to play the generator game with Livia tonight, and didn't. Frankly I'm exhausted and probably wouldn't have been up to it anyway.

But then I remembered I did have something fic-like that I could post. And really, it's been too long since I've posted anything like a story here.

Set in [livejournal.com profile] monkeycrackmary's and [livejournal.com profile] thete1's Angelsverse with a flagrant lack of prior permission.


Weird things happen in my head.

    (The setup...

    from a forthcoming story by Te: He'd stopped being taken aback by others' willingness to take orders from him so long ago that he doesn't really remember what it's like

    Jack: it's the robin mystique...
    Jack: ::facepalms:: and i am now helplessly having robin/mystique thoughts.
    Te: *HA*

    Five minutes of fast-fingered typing followed.)

Tim knows -- *knows* -- that this can't be Dick. He's never doubted that Dick had died, even when that sort of denial would've felt good. But... he looks like Dick. Exactly like. *Smells* like the scent that had finally stopped lingering in Dick's room at the Manor, but not before Tim had immersed himself in it often enough to know it as well as his own. His voice is Dick's, like a more perfect recording than anything in the Cave's files, alive and responsive; and the illusion would be complete if it weren't for the fact that his hearing is also picking up irregularities in this imposter's biorhythms bizarre enough that he wonders whether "Dick" is even human.

Even so, it's difficult to resist the illusion. To *want* to resist.



And now, I go to bed.

Ouch. I still haven't forgiven Mary for killing off Dick ;), and this is just so perfectly wrong. I love it.

You'd think I wouldn't be able to, either... and yet. She killed off Dick AND Bruce, but it's still my favourite storyline ever -- fandom or canon.

Well, Jay had his round with Menon, after all...

Thanks! The lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] glockgal Lori drew it, I just cut Dick's head off and mounted it on the icon.

Thanks for the squee, but... more? Have you never heard the warning, "Don't cross the streams"?

*g* Robin/Mystique. This could be the start of an interesting relationship.

And you were the one who was supposed to play the crack game with Livia, were you?

Nah, Tim's never struck me as the get-involved-in-a-fraught-relationship-with-a-villainous-archenemy type. Also, the idea of continuing this is even scarier than having had to write what's there.

And you were the one who was supposed to play the crack game with Livia, were you?

She asked me to... that was after you two had played, though, apparently.

It's sometimes nice to know people can still come up with the crackiest of pairings (and make them work) without the aid of Random Crack generators.

I'm apparently rather suggestible. All it took was seeing those two words, robin and mystique, next to each other...
