The Best
bitterfic 2009
DC Comics
The Princess and the Shadow: Kate Kane (Batwoman), PG-13. Kate Kane’s decision to become Batwoman was not triggered by some horrific trauma, but was rather the culmination of a lifetime lived in the company of a secret self.
An origin story I created for smoking-hot lesbian Batwoman. It was rendered obsolete by a Detective Comics storyline serveral months later but I still really enjoyed writing it.
Heroes
The One Who Picks Up the Pieces: Peter/Nathan, PG-13 (incest): Set a couple years before the series begins. In an effort to please his family, Peter is attending law school. Desperately unhappy, he increasingly turns to alcohol for relief. Nathan discovers this and intervenes.
For me, 2009 was all about alcohol abuse. I poured (pun intended) my personal experiences into this story.
Inglourious Basterds
Hanukkah Behind Enemy Lines: Aldo Raine, Smithson Utivich, Donny Donowitz, Shosanna Dreyfus, Marcel, Hans Landa. PG. Glimpses of the holidays from several perspectives.
Jem and the Holograms
Reading Lessons: Roxy/Stormer (allusions to past Stormer/Kimber), PG-13. Set after the Roxy Rumbles episode. While Stormer is helping her with her reading, Roxy finds out her friend was in a relationship with Kimber Benton when the two of them were cutting an album together. This knowledge forces Roxy to examine her own feelings for Stormer.
Original
The Manor House: R. The Manor House was a huge mansion located out in the desert. Originally intended as a summer retreat for a very wealthy family it had long since fallen into disuse. After the occupation, the owner of the house offered it to resistance leaders to use as a sort of secret base…
My first original story since 2006.
Holy Terror: NC-17 (incest, rape). Before I found the way, I was a monster or at least I aspired to be a monster; a dragon, a vampire, a demon, a holy terror.
Sweeney Todd
The Ghost Inside: Johanna (Benjamin)/Anthony, PG-13. Three years have passed since the events of Sweeney Todd. Passing as a boy, Johanna is now called Benjamin. She and Anthony are sailors together. When Anthony is accused of murdering the Captain of the vessel they’re sailing on it falls to Benjamin to save him.
One of those stories that I put down and picked up again and again it took me nearly a year to write this sequel toSweeney Todd.
