Author's Summary: A chance meeting on a rainy night between two ex-soldiers leads to passion-and maybe even a future.
Review: This series starts out with a chance meeting between Duo and Zechs in a coffee shop. They’re both searching for something. Duo’s just been dumped by Heero and Relena’s trying to force Zech’s into taking a position in the Sank government.
This is a PWP turned series that has some of the steamiest sex scenes I’ve seen in the GW fandom. Despite this Zechs and Duo’s relationship is sweet. They are deeply and passionately in love and not afraid to let people know. I particularly like how Zechs takes care of
Duo without smothering him. In a lot of fluffy fics I end up wanting to punch somebody out, so this is a nice change of pace.
This series is particularly fun because it’s made up of a number of virginettes that are written in a number of different styles and POV’s. It’s a WIP that most likely will never be finished, but since it’s formatted as a series of complete stories you shouldn’t let that stop you from reading it.

Summary: Batman brings a new recruit into the JLA ... but there's something he doesn't know about her. In which the newest superhero doesn't have the approval of the moral majority.
Review: I love both the premise of this story and its execution. Batman finds a woman who, when put in danger for her life, manifests superpowers. Batman being, well, Batman, he doesn't recognize her by name or sight, but the other men in the JLA certainly do: she's a famous porn star. The plot focuses on her period as a probationary member - the JLA isn't comfortable with just granting her an automatic in, with her reputation - and how the current League members react to a woman who is not ashamed of her profession, and who has no plans to retire and take up a more sanitized-for-the-public job.
I loved the original character, Kelly Bryson the porn actress, and the ending of the story broke my heart. The warnings probably give away what happens, given the strong tendency of certain fandoms to maintain the status quo, but I can't not warn for such serious events. There's no denying the long term effects that Kelly Bryson has on the JLA, though - her strength of character and refusal to denounce her profession leaves an impression on her colleagues, and I think that they all gained something from their time with her.

Batman being, well, Batman, he doesn't recognize her by name or sight, but the other men in the JLA certainly do: she's a famous porn star. The plot focuses on her period as a probationary member - the JLA isn't comfortable with just granting her an automatic in, with her reputation - and how the current League members react to a woman who is not ashamed of her profession, and who has no plans to retire and take up a more sanitized-for-the-public job.
I loved the original character, Kelly Bryson the porn actress, and the ending of the story broke my heart. The warnings probably give away what happens, given the strong tendency of certain fandoms to maintain the status quo, but I can't not warn for such serious events. There's no denying the long term effects that Kelly Bryson has on the JLA, though - her strength of character and refusal to denounce her profession leaves an impression on her colleagues, and I think that they all gained something from their time with her.

Review: I love both the premise of this story and its execution. Batman finds a woman who, when put in danger for her life, manifests superpowers.
