Aspire to Touch the Sky by Betty (PG-13)

  • Sep. 12th, 2010 at 11:32 PM
Title: Aspire to Touch the Sky by Betty
Fandom: DC Universe
Pairing: Bruce (Batman)/Diana (Wonder Woman)
Categories: marriage of convenience
Length: Medium (~13,500 words)
Warnings: n/a

Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] brown_betty 
Website: n/a

Review:
When Themyscira decides to rejoin the world of men, they decide that the best way to make it happen is with a diplomatic marriage.

First I should note that the plot of this story is underwritten to the point that it doesn't actually make much sense (I'm assuming that it's based on an actual DCU storyline and thus Betty skipped a lot of important details to avoid boring readers). If you can read a fic just for the characters, however, this is a very fun, enjoyable story. I love the fact that Diana is the one to reassure Bruce that sex, while quite acceptable, won't be required in the marriage, I love that Bruce is kind of a dick while still quite obviously falling in love, I love that Superman is an idiot, albeit an adorable one, and I really love all of the cameos from the other JLA members (especially J'onn, who doesn't say anything at all in this fic and yet is quite possibly the most awesome character in it). A good choice for people who love great characters.

Ah-ha! I was fairly sure she had an LJ, but I couldn't remember what it was. I'll get this updated immediately.

Thanks!

Ooo, was the Lex/Diana fic good (and, you know, not too creepy)? If so, do you have a link?

actually, not creepy at all,
but the major thing is, its written in a script style.
for most , if not nearly all of my friends, that just doesnt work.

its usually not my cup of tea, too, but with chinae, she makes it works completely for me (and not just the SV fics). And I loved that lex/diana piece.

I don't think, I remember you having reccing script style fics, so *shrugs*.

but if you want to try :

Hah! I came upon this rec in an utterly random fashion, while wandering though Delicious looking for Inception fic. You are right about the plot, and also wrong, in that I am afraid there is no such comics storyline; I'm just really utterly pants at plot, so I waved my hands a whole bunch and hoped no one would notice.
