jennyo asked for Babs/Dinah reunion fic for her birthday, so enjoy and sorry about the lack of spooning. I guess it just feels wrong now if I write spooning and Bridget Regan isn't involved.

Title: A Tale Of Two Cities
Fandom: Birds of Prey
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,554
Characters/Pairings: Babs/Dinah, references to Dinah/Ollie and Helena/Zinda
Summary: What do you do if your heart’s in one city but you live in another? Besides commute?

( Barbara didn’t have a team anymore. Sometimes she called someone in for a favor, but they didn’t stay long. Didn’t stay at all. They didn’t help her move or recommend books to her. They didn’t make connections. Dinah had never asked about it, but she’d seen Barbara at Bruce’s funeral. She understood. )

Title: Five Ways To Cure Insomnia
Fandom: Birds of Prey
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,098
Characters/Pairings: Scott/Barda, Dinah, Barbara, references to Helena/Zinda
Summary: Barda has insomnia. The Birds of Prey help out. Helena gets drunk.

( At three AM, Scott Free tip-toed into his bedroom to find Barda still awake, lazily occupied with a copy of Jane's Infantry Weapons. Upon seeing him, she gave a weary smile and slipped a bookmark in. Scott was glad she'd found a use for those stilettos she'd ordered. )

Title: Rise Of The Machines
Fandom: Birds of Prey
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 544
Characters/Pairings: Babs/Dinah
Author's notes: Written for shananagin's response to a meme.
Summary: Dinah is feeling horny. Barbara is on a different continent. Luckily, Oracle has a solution.

( “Oh, okay. What’s that part that looks like a dildo?” “A dildo.” “Ahh. So I strap myself into that and…” “I fuck you. Over the Internet.” )

Okay, admittedly this is never going to happen because WB doesn't make movies about women anymore or something, but they should.

Right now, the Batverse is red-hot, but Christopher Nolan is busy not making Batman 3 and the WB is miraculously too smart to go ahead without him. I know, right? So why not make a Birds of Prey movie? You could fit in the characters that are too outre for the actually-very-limited Nolanverse, you could get all that spin-off and merchandising going, and you could correct the glaring deficiency in female roles in the Batman movieverse.

After all, we all know TDK is a "Year One" and we know eventually, Batman's gonna have Robin and Batgirl running around. Just dye Gary Oldman's hair white and you don't have to include anyone else (well, given Nolan a producer's credit).

So we start off with Barbara having a flashback to her recent shooting (and all you need for this is a body double and a voiceover of Ledger!Joker laughing). Then, via montage, show her becoming Oracle, gathering her team together, and introduce her personal problems and her strained relationship with Dick Grayson (who would serve as a link to Batman).

( Unfortunately, it would still NEVER HAPPEN. )

Would it ever happen? Not in a million years. Fun to think about? Definitely. And I have THOUGHTS on who should play Nightwing. And the great thing about a BOP franchise is that aside from Barbara, you can have anyone leave the team and then shine the spotlight on another character. So if Alexa Davalos gets pregnant, that's cool, just bring in Onyx or whoever and you're good to go.

Title: Escape Plan
Fandom: Birds of Prey (comicverse)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 2,379
Characters/Pairings: Helena/Zinda/Dinah, references to Babs/Dinah and Scott/Barda
Summary: Zinda’s plan to distract the guards ends up being more distracting for Helena and Dinah.

( I am so glad I wasn’t partnered with Barda on this one. )

Title: Her Dark Secret
Fandom: DC comics
Rating: R
Word Count: 5,172
Characters/Pairings: Babs/Dinah, Helena Bertinelli, Zinda Blake
Summary: With her husband-to-be Oliver Queen lost in Transylvania, Dinah Lance is all alone in Gotham. Will she find companionship in the company of Countess Barbara, or something more?

( Barbara touched her cheek in a way that made Dinah understand the vital importance held by gloves of kid-skin and silk. Imagine if a man were touched that way? Even Dinah, who was feminine to the marrow, felt peculiar’d by Barbara’s touch. )

Title: The Sense of Touch
Fandom: Birds of Prey
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 2,566
Characters/Pairings: Babs/Dinah, Ollie/Dinah
Summary: Barbara can content herself with only have Dinah in her life by phone and e-mail. But when Dinah disappears altogether, she realizes she needs much more.

( There was a time when all Dinah had to do was walk into a room and Barbara would get a silly little smile. But lately, that hadn’t been happening. With Dinah in Star City, busy with all of Ollie’s activism and pie-in-the-sky pet projects, there was less time for chatting and they usually resorted to e-mails or tweets. It shouldn’t have made a difference, but Barbara missed Dinah’s voice. Almost as much as she missed Dinah. It felt, at times, like someone was cutting away parts of herself. And in her dreams, that someone usually took the form of Dinah’s husband, Ollie. )

Title: Look Closer
Fandom: Birds of Prey
Rating: R
Word Count: 2,625
Characters/Pairings: Babs/Dinah, Big Barda, Zinda Blake, Helena Bertinelli, mention of Scott/Barda
Summary: At first glance, Barbara and Dinah are just good friends. If you don’t look closer…

( “I suppose it’s nice to know someone has my back. Not that I need it, just… nice. Like, knowing you can come pick me up if things get hot.” “Wouldn’t say it’s exactly the same thing.” )

Title: Eavesdropping
Fandom: Batman
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3,448
Characters/Pairings: Dick/Dinah, Dinah/Babs, Dick/Babs, and the predictable result.
Summary: Dinah's just started to kiss her boss's old boyfriend when she realizes her communicator is still on... and Barbara is breathing heavy.

( Babs, I’m taking Dinah’s bodice off. She’s had her jacket off ever since I came in here. )

Okay, so it's late for Christmas. What, am I supposed to wait all year to post this?

Title: The All-Singing, All-Dancing Barbara Gordon Christmas Special Extravaganza
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Barbara Gordon, the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come
Word Count: 2,516
Summary: Barbara Gordon would be much more amenable to learning the true meaning of Christmas if the goddamn ghosts would just let her sleep.

( Oh, God, is this Dickens? This is, isn’t it? I’m having a Dickensian nightmare and I cast myself as Ebeneezer Scrooge. Oh, the gender issues that raises… that’s one for the dream journal, yup. )
