Ohmigawd, you guys!

I just had the best mental image ever. Brace yourself for this...

Dick Grayson, family man, washing the car with the help of daughter Mar'i (and son Jay... yeah, he would) while a golden retriever plays around with the hose and Kory offers lemonade/works the camcorder.

Sometimes I write fics because I want to do a plot with a beginning, middle, and end and a conflict and a character arc and all that, but sometimes I just want to evoke a feeling or create a picture in people's heads. Like Cass's First Christmas? That was all just to get to Cass spilling people's eggnog while screaming about how it was made of cows.

So, in this hypothetical universe, Kory would probably be a Teen Titans reservist and stay-at-home mom (she'd be great at it, you just know) and her main job would be a romance novelist. She'd write "fictional" (ahem) stories about superheroes getting together. Because even in a happyverse, the universe tends to the maximum in perversity against the Bats.

Kory: What'd you think?

Dick: It's a story about what it would be like if I fell in love with Donna and got married.

Kory: EEEEEEEEEEE!

Dick: I don't think that's...

Kory: Not done yet! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Dick: Could you please just not write me into your books?

Kory: Sure! Oh, what do you think of this one?

Dick: Hmm... 'a beautiful alien princess is in love with a scrappy Earthling, but then she's forced into a political marriage... which she slowly learns to love...' Kory, this is a book about what would have happened if you fell in love with Karras.

Kory: I already wrote what would have happened if I fell in love with you.

Dick: ...I'm scrappy?

Her bitterest rival would be Harleen Quinzel, who of course writes Harley Quinn romances. *dodges tomatoes*

ALTERNATE ENDING!

Dick: You wrote about Babs and Dinah's marriage, but you turned them both into men!

Kory: My intended audience is women. What woman would want to read femslash?

I think Kory absolutely should write romantic novels. I'd read those. Totally.

And I think it's sweet that Dick will be her sounding board. *g*

He won't think it's so sweet when Kory's writing a stripped-serial-numbers Bruce/Selina novel.

Dick: There's a ten page sex scene!

Kory: Yes, and?

Dick: About my father!

Kory: Yes, and?

Dick: Selina--

Kory: Ahem!

Dick: "Celia" uses her whiphandle to sodomize him!

Kory: Do you want to try that?

Dick: ...

EEEEE! Kory would write the bestest of smutteh romance novels. And would have no problem putting in people she knows. Gotta love that alien morality!

Oh, God, that would be so bloody awesome! It breaks my brain just imagining it! I think I'm going to die of laughter.
