i <3 stephcass being fucked up and weird and putting them in the DC vs. Vampires setting is a stroke of genius

oh man, this is such an excellent piece on roy harper. as the author puts it, it's a study in the form of smut, and this angle has never been truer to a character before until this was posted. the emotional pain seeping through in each section is too good.

SOOO HOT. ugh as one of the tags says, there is truly something inherently erotic about having a handler as we see in the comic and in this fic. the action and subsequent characterization of the two women here in the fic is amazing.

UGH so basically i've been hooked on jay/jon/nia since i read secret six (2025) and though there is a startling lack of fics featuring the three together in some way, this is not one of them, even if it mainly focuses on jay (and partially his relationship with jon). i brushed jay off as a bland nothing-burger of a character during jon's superman run, but in the years since, he's really grown into his own character, and this author absolutely understands that and him very well.

ending off on a high note with unabashed lesbian smut. as i said previously, i <3 gay age gaps and i am no different with this fic. yves' characterization is perfect here and i love bratty, know-what-she-wants chaeryeong here.

sorry for all that atproto friends do you still love me.

also YES I KNOW I ONLY LINKED TO AO3 STUFF HERE WHEN I'M THE WEBSITE WOMAN WITH HER OWN SITE. I PROMISE NEXT TIME I'LL SHARE FROM MY OWN SITE I AM STARTLINGLY BEHIND ON WHAT MY FRIENDS HAVE WRITTEN LMFAO 😭
