This story is my first Avatar: TLOK fanfic. A Lin/Asami crack pairing that was written off the top of my head, and wasn't outlined or anything.

Might consider doing some more of these two in a proper story once I'm finished with doing Teen Titans, Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, and Young Justice stuff on AO3.

[laysean87]

Zatanna Zatara and Black Mary navigate their strained relationship and confront the darkness within themselves while safeguarding the fragile balance of magic in the face of Apokolips' relentless advance.

[WIP]

My first official fanfic for Teen Titans (2003), and it's a fanfic about Slade's interest in Robin during Season 1. Happy 20th anniversary!

[laysean87]

A short writing exercise. (and a potential collection of one shot stories involving Black Canary, Green Arrow, and Black Lightning)

[laysean87]

Supergirl needs help. She has an addiction to chocolate that's bad. Very, very bad. So on the way to a rescue mission, she goes to Green Lantern for his personal advice.

Based on an old picture that I have on here somewhere on Tumblr. If you've seen it before, then you know what picture I'm talking about.

Let me know what you think of this story.

Almost Lost It All by laysean87

Wonder Woman (2009 film) - Incorrect Quotes

This is from a fanfic I'm working on.

Diana: You know, Artemis, I have to admit something. I used to get a bit jealous of the stories my Mother told me about you in the battlefield.

Artemis: Jealous? Really, Diana? I'm flattered.

Diana: Yes. You were such a skilled warrior in both hand-to-hand and armed combat. I can only imagine how good you still would be if you didn’t lose so much against me.

Letting Down Easy, a Young Justice fanfic

Author: laysean87

Summary: Dinah goes to talk about what she saw Conner and M'gann on CCTV feed... and ends up getting a surprise.

Author's Notes: This takes place in S1 E21 "Image." A what-if situation where Black Canary talks to Superboy first before talking to Miss Martian. My attempt at comedy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mount Justice - Happy Harbor, RI November 22, 2010 9:42 A.M. EST

With fists in a tight clench, I turned the corner inside the long corridors of the cave, looking for Conner's room. By now, my initial shock at what I'd seen had ebbed considerably, although I still wanted to tell him I didn't approve of his and M'gann's actions.

I figured there would be certain unintended consequences when I decided to have more intimate one-on-one sparring sessions with the kids. I just didn't think it would lead to this with Conner. Of course, I knew the kid had been giving me looks before, and… okay, I admit that it was almost flattering that he saw me as more than just a mother-like figure. That he would be attracted to me in some way.

As flattered as I was that Conner had perhaps taken a shine to me, the fact was - I am already spoken for.

And after seeing security footage of what amounted to an adorable but troublesome shape-shifting kink with M'gann in the training room, I knew I had to put out the fire right now. Better to let him down easy.

I ended up at the front door of his living quarters, my inner voice tried to reason with me. Stay calm, Dinah. Go easy on him. He doesn't know any better. Breathe in. Breathe out.

I knocked on the panel door. His voice replied in that deep, husky voice of his. "Yeah?"

"This is Canary. We need to talk."

"About what?"

Well, I'm never one for beating the bush about something. So might as well get to the point. "Batman just showed me a video of what you and M'gann did yesterday."

"Could you be more specific?"

"In the training room?"

A beat passed before I heard him chuckle from the other side of the door. Almost sounded downright embarrassed. "Oh, yeah. That."

"Yeah, that. May I come in now?"

I heard a sigh before he said, "Um… sure thing, Canary."

The panel door slid open, and I entered Conner's living chambers.

As I approached where he sat on his bed, he seemed uncharacteristically flustered. He held something behind his back. I didn't think much of it, as I was more concerned about what he and M'gann did earlier on that video Bruce showed me.

"I wanna be fair to you, Conner," I began as I gave my best stern look at the young boy, "I know you're still technically a few months removed from being in that pod in Cadmus. I understand that you're still figuring things out about yourself and who you are. I understand that you may have developed something of a crush on me, like any young man who's a bundle of nerves and hormones would. So I don't blame you for that."

He didn't answer, but his face seemed torn about something. I didn't know whether he would act cool or blow up in my face. Even though he had shown signs of improvement ever since our therapy session - he wasn't as easy to anger - I still had to treat him with kid gloves.

"I also know you've only been dating M'gann for a few months now, and what you guys do in private is your business. But after seeing what happened yesterday, I felt that we needed to talk. Having her use her ability to shapeshift into whoever so that you two can play out some 'kink' fantasy is..." I stopped in mid-sentence, as he kept shifting away to keep what he was hiding behind his back. Each time I curiously tried to see whatever it was, he kept jerking away.

"Conner, what are you hiding?" I asked, placing my hands on my hips.

"Nothing."

Yeah, right. "People don't usually sit with their hands behind their back, Conner. Now, give."

He sighed and slowly reached down, slowly pulling what he had been holding up all along. I gasped when I saw what it was. A small bouquet of flowers — red roses, yet.

My jaw dropped. "Conner, I... I don't understand."

"These flowers..." he began in a nervous, shaky voice and his face a faint shade of red, "are for you... for being such an awesome trainer. For the Team, I mean." He paused before adding in a hesitant voice, "M'gann... suggested I should give 'em to you."

I almost wanted to cry at the gesture, especially after seeing the eager expression on his young face. "I'm touched, Conner," I said as I took the flowers as I took a swift intake of the smell. "Really, I am."

Conner looked away as he rubbed the back of his neck. "You deserve it, Black Canary."

"I do?"

"Of course!" He nodded, smiling. "I mean... you've helped the Team more than anyone else. You always go above and beyond for us."

I moved toward him and gently placed my arms around him as I squeezed him in a warm hug. He held me tight in return.

I whispered in his ear, "Thank you." It was a pleasant and sweet surprise, to be sure. It isn't every day I get a bouquet of flowers from one of my students, and for wanting to teach these kids about the importance of hand-to-hand combat. To say it was flattering would be an understatement.

And wouldn't you know it, by the time I returned home via the Zeta boom tube, I had completely forgotten all about the purpose for me wanting to talk to him in the first place.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you my reaction when I entered my bedroom. It hit me when I was in the middle of my personal favorite novel. "Damn it!"

As always, constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks!

Believe in Magic Yet? - a Young Justice fanfic

Author Notes: This takes place sometime in Young Justice - Season 1 - after Zatanna joins the Team

This rough draft of a short story is loosely based on an old Garfield comic strip, and my attempt at comedy. I originally uploaded a version of this on Tumblr, which was meant to be dialogue only (albeit with some sparse action descriptions, couldn't be helped), as something of a psuedo-script. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters used in this short. They are the properties of their respective owners.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, Zee, you're into magic, right?" Wally said as he sat down next to Zatanna inside the kitchen of Mount Justice. In front of him was a bowl full of a variety of potato chips, pretzels, popcorn and other types of food he was prepared to make history. "Sorcery and the whole bit?"

The dark haired mage looked up from her salad plate. "What about it, Wally?"

"How about you show me one of your favorite spells to use. Presumably if there's a guy you find... cute." The emphasis on the last word was followed by a wiggle of his eyebrows.

Zatanna tilted her head. "I thought you didn't believe in stuff like magic."

Wally held up a hand. "I don't. But... just for the sake of curiosity... What's your favorite spell to use for fun? Humor me."

"You really wanna know?"

"Yeah, I do. C'mon, babe. Show me something, anything, I don't care what it is." He then took a few potato chips from his bowl and toss them into his mouth like a pig, gorging them in a sloppy manner. He was thinking that he would be entertained somewhat.

It was then that Zatanna then got an idea. Her mouth turned upward into a tight lipped smile. This would make a nice joke to pull on him. It would serve him right for trying to low-key hit on her, besides. "Ok, then. Otatop spihc emoceb god doof!"

Wally, with his mouth completely full, was about to ask what spell she had just performed when the food inside his mouth completely changed. Not to mention his face when his taste buds realized what he was eating now.

"Dog food?!" He spat out the chewed up bits of dog food from his mouth on the kitchen floor and started coughing. Afterwards, he wiped some saliva from his mouth before glaring at Zatanna.

"That is SO not funny!" The speedster then snatched a bottle of water and began to drink it to wash out the remains of what was left on his tongue.

Zatanna simply pointed at the water bottle. "Retaw emoceb toh ecuas!"

It didn't take long for Wally to see what she had done next. Spitting out what was in his mouth, he looked at what he thought was a water bottle. "AHH! HOT SAUCE!" He jumped out of his seat and ran back and forth around the kitchen island.

"Believe in magic yet?" Zatanna asked with a smirk.

Wally was too busy panicking to hear what she said, and he didn't care, either. He fanned his hands in the direction of his mouth to cool his tongue. It didn't help, as his mouth still felt like someone had caused it to burst into flames.

"AHHMYTONGUEISBURNINGMYTONGUEISBURNINGMYTONGUEISBURNINGAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Thinking quickly, he opened the refrigerator door, only to find there was nothing cold to drink. So he ran over to the kitchen sink.

"Nehctik knis sepip golc pu!"

Frantically, Wally turned the cold water knob, but nothing come out of the faucet. It was somehow clogged up.

"AWW MAN!" he shouted.

Desperate, he darted past Artemis who just entered the kitchen and down the corridor towards the nearest restroom. "GANGWAY!"

Artemis looked on in confusion over her shoulder. "Um... what the hell just..."

She then saw Zatanna innocently blink her eyes while sitting in her chair with her salad, as though nothing happened.

Placing her hands in a gesture of dismissal, the blonde teen archer turned and walked away. "You know what? Never mind. I don't even wanna know."
