Rating: R
Spoilers: AU for "Countdown: Search for Ray Palmer"
Warnings: violence, language, vampirism, masturbation, Jason Todd/Dick Grayson pairing
Word Count: 1637
Summary: Reason takes a holiday.
Word of the Day: deucedly - adverb:
Devilishly; damnably.
(Deucedly is related to the word deuce which refers to the face of a die with one dot, as in "to roll deuces." It comes from the Latin word for two, duos. In the mid-1600s, it became associated with bad luck, probably because it was the lowest score you could get when playing dice.)

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.
