Falcon SNEAK!

Posting with DW because LJ's been blocked forever here.

So we're probably going to stay off the phones all day, letting Hickory and Phoenix work it out. There are people in Ready mode that aren't us, so they MUST be working. Patrick and I plan to hop on sometime around 7:30, 7:45 to clear the queue at the end of the day.

They are serving ice cream -- allowing us to make banana splits. I grabbed a waffle-bowl, and scooped out plenty of strawberry and vanilla, little bit of chocolate, drizzle of chocolate syrup, dollop of Cool Whip, and one cherry -- finished off by two banana quarters around the waffle-bowl. And I've had two people jokingly ask me to make their banana splits for them. ^_^ Mmm, ghetto Neapolitan....

Honestly, I think enough of us commented, with varying levels of seriousness, about doing something not-nice on the phones (yelling at customers in an Arnold voice, robot voice, or what have you; answering with "Yeah, what do you want?"; et cetera) that they are just not taking chances at this point.

FIC: The Darkest Side of Me [DCU] (1 of 3)

Title: The Darkest Side of Me
Author: D.L.SchizoAuthoress
Rating: PG-13/R
Spoilers: for the 'Joker - Last Laugh' crossover event; timeline is between Nightwing #63 and Nightwing #64.
Warnings: character death, strong language
Prompt: DCU, Jason Todd/Dick Grayson, he always hoped Jason would come back to him. Also counts for au_bingo 2010, "Alternate History: Canon event changed".
Word Count: 4938
Summary: There are consequences to every action, and every inaction... even those that we don't -- or can't -- let ourselves expect.

( The Darkest Side of Me )

There's a good gap between Nightwing 63 (post-'Last Laugh', which means early November) and Nightwing 64 (an awesome Christmas story) that, in canon, allows Nightwing to be around for Titans 35-36 (Beast Boy and Flamebird visiting New York, and a murder-mystery). Nightwing's leave of absence mentioned in the story covers those two Titans issues so far.

( Slightly spoilery story notes )

So I can totally get a trilogy out of this, and knock out two hc_bingo prompts as well.

Also, Red Robin is the dorkiest Bat-fam codename ever. IT DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS UNIVERSE AND EVERYONE IS GLAD OF THAT.
