schizoauthoress: (Homosexual Agenda oh noez!)
Title: Language Arts
Author: D.L.SchizoAuthoress
Rating: PG
Spoilers: working in "Justice League Unlimited"
Warnings: strong language, established Vigilante/Shining Knight (and in my headcanon Greg is from the 1930s, just so you know)
Prompt/Fill: None
Word Count: 1831
Summary: Even knights need rescuing sometimes.

Note: Inherited surnames were not a thing in Britain until the Norman invasion around 1066, while Sir Justin is from the 6th century (500-something). There is something about Sir Justin in the comics being called "Shining Knight" back in the day, so I gave him a nickname of Anglo Saxon name elements -- ead, which means 'blessed', and berht, which means 'bright'.
In fact the name "Justin" is itself something of an anachronism for the period of the Middle Ages that Sir Justin comes from, so in my headcanon his original name is actually "Justinian" from Latin and was modernized like his nickname.

Word of the Day: usageaster (YOO-sij-as-ter), noun: A self-styled authority on language usage.

schizoauthoress: (I Read Your Fanfic -- The Shining)
Title: The Last Enemy
Author: D.L.SchizoAuthoress
Rating: R
Spoilers: "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" tie-in comics (issue #6) with Golden Age flavoring
Warnings: character death; language; slightly bizarre backstory/headcanon being employed; m/m pairing
Prompt/Fill: None! This is totally for me!
Word Count: 1985
Summary: How Vigilante and Shining Knight became people Kid Eternity could call upon...
Note:
1. Many of the characters mentioned in this story are public domain heroes, and not all of them were published by or acquired by DC Comics. They are used mostly to avoid any conflict with BTBAB canon that might arise from using more well-known Golden Age characters.
2. I know, this sort of contradicts Vigilante's 3-minute appearance in the opening of "Night of the Batmen!", but that contradicts his comics appearance (and besides I had a few quibbles with his portrayal). I'll explain him later.

Word of the Day: adamantine, adjective:
1. Utterly unyielding or firm in attitude or opinion.
2. Too hard to cut, break, or pierce.
3. Like a diamond in luster.

The Last Enemy

Author: D.L.SchizoAuthoress
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: the canon playground I'm using today is Justice League Unlimited
Warnings: mild language, somewhat intolerant attitudes from being raised in older cultures
Prompt/Fill: any, any, I don't know where I'm going but I'm getting there fast
Word Count: 1818
Summary: Getting used to a new time period isn't easy.
Word of the Day: rutilant, adjective: Glowing or glittering with ruddy or golden light.

Note: I take all the background information I can from the Golden Age comics. Mostly because I can't resist the idea of Vigilante as a time-tossed singing cowboy from the 1930s.
