Title: Then You'd Better Not Stay
A Supernatural/DCU crossover
Author: dotfic
Rating/pairing: Het, PG-13, Dean Winchester/Wonder Woman

Word count: 2,300
Disclaimer: Property of Eric Kripke, The CW, Bruce Timm, DC Comics, and Warner Brothers. *checks* Not me.

Written for musesfool's birthday, at her request because I'm easy that way. Vic, I'm not sure this is exactly what you wanted -- once I put them together they started bossing me around.

a/n: Reference for Wonder Woman's background (and any other obscure canon shout-outs) is the animated Timmverse. Title is from David Bowie. Thank you to mclittlebitch for the beta read.

Summary: He's a hunter. She's an Amazon princess. Together, they slay dragons!

( How many guys could she know who get trashed by monsters and refuse trips to the ER after? )

It's Just the Job
Gen, PG

Winter drabble gift for evillittletwit.

Prompts: Fandom, JLU. Kara, Wally. Fluff angst, green, just dialogue.

( Well, that was pretty stupid. )

amarin_rose requested commentary on one of my Justice League Unlimited janitor stories. I, Janitor was the first, so I chose that one.

He still has no name.

( the untold story of how the janitor came to be, what John Hughes has to do with any of this, heroes and their mode of transportation, and what the janitor might look like. )

Continuity/Spoilers: Takes place after JLU "Destroyer" and the events of the flashback in "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker"

Word Count: 71,000 total, ~5000 this chapter

Thanks to amilyn for her beta on this work. All mistakes that may still be found herein are ours alone.

Pairings: Lots. If it was canon, if it was implied in canon --- heck, if we just thought it was amusing at the time --- it's in there.

Summary: The Big Seven (plus one) are trapped inside a world created by a magical artifact. As the body count rises, familiar faces hide deadly secrets and it's up to Flash to save them.

Special note to our Friends lists: We've set up a new account called dot_merlin for posting this sordid little tale. We will announce updates there and also on jl_fic and batfic. In the interests of not spamming your Flist, we will not be announcing chapter updates in our own LJs until the story is completely posted. Thank you for your patience. - Dot and Merlin

Title: Reunion
Author: dotfic
Rating: Gen, PG
Fandom: Batman Beyond/JLU
Timeframe: futurefic
Word count: 500 exactly (it's a flashfic because it just wouldn't fit as a drabble)
Disclaimer: Characters (except one) are the property of DC/Warner Bros. Animation.

A/N: Inspired by mtgat's wonderful JLU story Time and Tide. This incorporates a character she invented. I have her permission to play with her fanon.

Summary: Maybe this moment is the reason that he does what he does.

( Fourteen little faces stare at him. )

Way Down the Road
A sequel to Hard Travelin' Civilians, in seven drabbles (plus one bonus double drabble.)
by dotfic
Rating: PG
Continuity: Just after "Wake the Dead"
Disclaimer: Justice League Unlimited is the property of DC Comics/WB Animation.

A/N: For those coming in late, the premise is simple. In an effort to repair group dynamics, the founding seven go on a road trip. The rules: no ipods, no cell phones, no powers. This is for rianax, who asked for the sombrero and the giant ball of twine, and neadods, who gave me the idea to do more about the road trip. Thanks to mtgat for her quick beta-read.

Inspiration found at Weird US. I have no excuse for the bonus double drabble. None.

Summary: She's not used to the rules yet.

A/N: Written for thecryingwillow's birthday (I did send this to her on her birthday, and then somehow never got around to posting it anywhere). Thank you to mtgat for the beta.

Short continuity note: This deals with fallout from events in my prior fanfic, "I, Janitor" but it's not necessary to have read that to read this. There is also one gratuitous shoutout to "The Fuzzy End of the Lollipop."

Disclaimer: Justice League is the property of Warner Bros animation/DC Comics. The amazing mtgat beta read this. One Wally was harmed in the making of this fanfic.


***

Wally wondered about the origin of the phrase “chopped liver,” as in “what am I, chopped liver?” He wondered who had first said it, and why would anyone at any point in history want to be eating chopped liver anyway. He wondered this because at that particular moment, he felt like chopped liver.
