Hello, welcome to Incorrect Fab Fifteen, a blog about all things Silver Age Teen Titans! I've come up with the term Fab Fifteen to broadly refer to all of the members (which I'll explain below) as well as a natural expansion of the Fab Five (plus, it's better than just calling them the OG Teen Titans or the 70s Team).

So a special note: despite Beast Boy being a part of the Titans West (as well as appearing in the above photograph), they do not count as part of the Fab Fifteen, mainly because he's already part of the New Teen Titans. Also note that this acc won't be using the New 52 version of Duela Dent (although the Gotham Knights version is fine so feel free to send in any hcs about her)

Also you maybe be asking why Gnarrk's entry is below instead of with everybody else. That's because Gnarrk was never a Titan in the first place. Sure, he appeared as part of the title and was there when the Titans West was formed but he never actually joined the team at all. Gnarrk becoming a Titan became a thing when he was introduced following the New 52.

Gnarrk

Full name: Unknown

Alter ego: Caveboy

Birthday: Not stated

Love interests: Lilith Clay

Uhh, yeah, so that's the Fab Fifteen! Again, don't worry about this technical jargon if you're a newcomer and you just wanna look at the other posts, we're all here to have fun.

I dreamed of you amid the flowers

A short story. Fem reader x Donna Beneviento, warnings: none. Fluff.

You(reader) have been having a reoccurring dream of the mysterious Lady Beneviento. You decide to clear your head in search for answers. Was she all just a dream?

(No beta reader/sorry for any grammatical mistakes. First fic post, thanks for reading!)

Based on the song “Daydream” by: The Wallace Collection. It’s a beautiful song and reminds me of Donna 🖤

Sunlight cascaded over the field in the early hours of the morning as you walked.

You had to clear your head, but last nights dream was still fresh behind your eyes and clouded your vision with each step into damp dirt.

It was the same dream you had for a couple of years now, with each one giving you more bits and pieces to the story it told.

A meadow of bright yellow flowers circled around you smelling so sweet and inviting. Irresistible to stray from. Not like you wanted to, however, because you knew you were waiting on her.

A mysterious woman in all black, her face hidden behind a veil emerges from the shadows of the trees like a ghost. And maybe she was.

She never spoke to you in these dreams. It didn’t matter, you understood her just fine as you sat together in that circle of flowers.

Sometimes she would bring tea and you would drink it, and some mornings you’d wake to still taste it on your lips.

But the dream always ended the same way.

The phantom like woman would trace her slender fingers across her veil and gently pull it to the side revealing a manniquins head.

And then you’d wake.

Last night was different however. You could see her single eye, full dark eyelashes with an iris as black as the clothes she wore.

And she smiled at you.

Your heart beats faster at the image, legs still carrying you away from your field and into the tree line.

You had no idea where you were going, all you knew was that you needed answers.

Why were you having these dreams?

Why was it always the same woman?

Who was this woman?

Was she even real, could you have passed her by one day in the village and just forgot?

You huff and rub your palms into your temples in frustration.

“Maybe I’m just crazy…” you mumble under your breath.

The sun was shining in full now through the tops of the trees above you. You were admiring the simple beauty of nature when your foot hooks under a large vine and causes you to land flat into the dirt with a thud.

Groaning at the pain you inspect yourself and find nothing broken, save for the mud caked into your clothes.

And that’s when you find yourself in a circle of bright yellow flowers.

“No way…” you whisper in awe, standing up to walk around them and smell their sweet scent.

“You’re here” a raspy feminine voice emerges from the trees, startling you as you whip your head around for its person.

It’s her. The phantom from your dreams.

Still as stone you nod, hands trembling at your sides as she walked closer.

“D-do we know each other?” You stutter and she stops walking.

It’s silent for a few moments before she nods.

“Somewhat” a short reply from behind the veil.

You take a deep breath and sit back down in the flowers, unsure of what to make of her answer.

“I’ve been dreaming of you. But I’m sure you are aware of that seeing that you came. I don’t.. I don’t understand” you say nervously, hands wringing together in your lap as she takes a seat on the ground across from you.

Pale slender fingers brush against the flowers with a content hum, plucking one to play with it.

“I’ve been dreaming of you, too”

She says in a whisper, looking down at you. You couldn’t see her face but you could feel her eyes through the dark fabric.

“I’ve been waiting on you to come.”

You swallow the lump in your throat and decide this probably wasn’t the best idea. The village ran rampant with all types of creatures, some of which most would only assume as fairy tales. Who’s to say she wasn’t one of them?

As if she read your mind, a gentle hand lays on top of yours with a sigh.

“I won’t hurt you. I am.. not like my siblings”

Her voice sounds like it hasn’t been used in ages as she speaks, but it comforted you just as much as it scared you. What did she mean by her siblings?

“You’re from the village. I assume you are aware of the Four Lords..” she whispers, cocking her head to the side in question.

You nod as the realization hits you, a short gasp coming from your mouth.

Most were aware of Lady Dimitrescu and Lord Heisenberg. You even knew of Lord Moarou as your uncle went to work for him once.

Once.

And that only left one other Lord.

“Lady Beneviento..” You whisper, hands shaking underneath hers.

She nods slowly and pats your hand, leaning back as she continued to play with the flower.

You contemplate the seriousness of your situation with the mysterious Lady as she sits in silence. Was she lying? If she possessed Mother Miranda’s dark gifts then she couldn’t be trusted.

“You think too loud, Tesoro.” She hums, placing the plucked flower back on the ground.

“Prehaps you should stay in your own head, then”

You snap back, irritated by the fact that she could indeed read your mind.

A small laugh escapes her lips, placing her cold hand on your cheek.

You stare deeply into her veil, hoping for a glimpse of what she might look like. Wondering if her smile was as beautiful as it was in your dreams.

“I’m not dreaming.. am I?” You whisper. She shakes her head no.

“Not anymore, ragazza dolce. You’re wide awake..and you’re finally mine” she says softly, pulling her veil to the side. That pool of black stares deeply into your eyes as she leans to kiss you.

With both of your hearts beating fast, you sit in that field of flowers for hours and think to yourself;

How could this ever feel anything less than a dream come true?

And yes…

Her smile was more beautiful than you imagined.

Wallace Polsom, Life During Wartime: La Prima Donna Gato (2023), paper collage, 19.8 x 27.9 cm.

[grandhotelabyss]

Once or twice in the past you've said something about Donna Tartt being the lone literary titan of her generation, or something like that. I took this to be kind of a joke, or a provocation, since of course if you asked most people (who care enough to have an opinion) they'd tell you the lone titan of Gen X, its already-canonical literary genius, was Wallace, not Tartt. You've expressed pretty mixed vews on Wallace in the past - is your pointed elevation of Tartt a "dig" or irony, or do you think Wallace is just genuinely (still) overrated, likely to be forgotten in a generation or two?

It was a joke and it wasn't. A critical judgment should be universal in form, I'm sure, not just an opinion. Wallace understood Kant and could probably even explain why, as I cannot. But what do I have in common with Wallace? Tennis, analytic philosophy of language, drugs? None of that. Do I think prose should mimic the recursive perseverations of a mind feeding upon itself unto death? I think it would be better for the mind in question if prose did otherwise. Do I think the problem with America is too much entertainment? Do I think entertainment itself is a problem because it reprises the infant's helpless fixation on the mother? No and no. I don't get it; I don't get him. Maybe it's me. Now Tartt and I—though I have still only read The Secret History and am trepidatious about the much-derided Goldfinch—get along much better. We both write about art and aestheticism, higher education and intellectual evil, androgyny and decadence; we're both class-climbing melodramatists rather than devisers of alienation effects with academic parents; we both have to forego Kant and Wittgenstein for those poet's philosophers, Plato and Nietzsche. Wallace descends right down in orderly succession out of Pynchon, but Tartt and I went around Pynchon back to the source, the explosive fount of narrative: grandfather Dickens. Wallace is too big already to be "forgotten" exactly; he inserted himself in too many academic arguments for the academics who help to make the canon to ignore him. Even Zoomer writers are influenced by him: Honor Levy, for all her Bennington provenance, alludes to him throughout My First Book. And Tartt may yet meet the fate of Marie Corelli or Ouida or whomever; she should have written more essays, should have created the taste by which she was to be enjoyed. If Lili Anolik's exquisite gossip is to be believed, Tartt wanted to be a gay boy at Oxford, and maybe such a fantasy (much as it is a fantasy of bildung, of cultivation) is not as durable or universal as Wallace's desperate Tolstoyan wish to become good enough to atone for the wretched man he'd been. Who knows? I get her, though; him, not so much. He tried to cut right through our narcissistic fantasy by thinking at it hard enough, but you can't, because thought is powerless, which I believe they even tell you in A.A. Whereas she gives us the fantasy and the critique of the fantasy in one and the same gesture, a gesture one can grow with or grow into. Her work has eros and vitality, can cross borders his can't, for now anyway; she is paradoxically in the very specificity of her fantasy the more universal writer.

DC Legacy

The basic premise of this is that the time has come for older heroes to step down and the next generation take their place. Clark Kent is now the editor and owner of the Daily Planet and vows to lead them into the future while keeping their dedication to the truth. Diana Prince is now Queen of the Amazons and has relinquished her title as Wonder Woman though she still joins the Justice Society when needed. Bruce Wayne has become mayor of Gotham City and intends to use the power of the office to fight crime at the root. However the intensified spotlight means he must give up the cowl. Others such as Oliver Queen have stepped down from active duty to become teachers to the next generation, passing down their skills and knowledge.

Wallace Rudolph West was a tactile learner — his words, not yours. 

Physicality made up most of, if not, all of his power set so it made sense that he was prone to manipulating things with his hands to be able to understand its components. He was a man of science, after all, like Barry Allen before him. 

His favorite subject to study was you.

He often conducted what he called, “live trials”, when you’d come to visit him in Central City. He knew that your cheeks grew warm when he displayed affection in public. He knew that your breathing slowed when one of his large hands curved around your hips to bring you close. He knew that you were touch-starved and couldn’t place why. 

The first time he kissed you — on the very corner of your mouth, barely that — he could feel the heat from your body grow. Your heart rate kicked up and small beads of sweat shone on your face. You were so nervous it made him smile. It was then he decided to elicit that reaction from you every chance he could. 

His innocent girl, his angel.

Any time you were around him — in public and in private — you had to all but fight off the meta-human to keep your decency. 

Tonight was movie night at Titans Tower and certainly no different. 

His hands migrated from your shoulders to the small of your back before finally curving around your hips, kneading the soft flesh in slow torturous motions as you were talking to Kori and Donna by the couch. He was such a tease and he knew it, whispering the filthiest things in your ear. 

“Don’t you ever give her space to breathe, Speedy?” Raven remarked from the far end of the couch. 

“Leave ‘em be, you guys,” Dick smirked at you, “they haven’t seen each other in, what, six hours? They miss each other.”

Donna snorted. “More like Wally can’t keep his hands to himself.”

Your stomach dropped. Though you knew that they were joking, you couldn’t help but feel as though you were being rude. Or rather, your boyfriend was. 

“Wally,” you warned. 

“Yes?” You could feel the stretch of a smile against the curve of your ear.

“We’re with our friends right now,” you said slowly, “you don’t have to be with me the whole time.”

“Do you know how beautiful you look right now?” he purred. “What I could do if we were alone?”

Your face warmed. “Shut up.”

“Get a room!” Gar said, groaning. “This is supposed to be a family event.”

You muttered out a small apology and threw your boyfriend a hard glare. 

Wally wrapped his arms around your middle and guided you back against his chest, his fingertips ghosting against the soft skin of your neck to toy with the chain of your necklace. “Angel, you wound me.”

“And you’re too touchy.”

He chuckled lowly. “Am I? I thought I was just appreciating the beauty that is you.” He felt your thighs shift closer together and smiled to himself. “We can leave early if you want. You know I love how vocal you are.”

“You’re not being fair,” you croaked. Your eyes darted towards your friends; they were still too engrossed in the movie. At least you hoped they were. 

“C’mon.” His lips pressed up against the nape of your neck. “You remember a few nights ago? I was afraid you were gonna flip yourself into the wall how bad you were thrashing.”

Your cheeks burned. The phantom feel of his ginger locks threaded through your fingers caressed your skin as did the heat of his mouth against your mound sent electricity rippling along your skin. You could feel the beads of sweat forming above the curve of your upper lip. 

“You thinkin’ about it, angel?” His hands skimmed the sides of your thighs, pushing up the hem of your dress. “Thinkin’ about how good my hands feel on your hips when we’re at home? How good I feel?”

Your tongue stuck to the roof of your mouth. 

“D’you want my hands, baby? Want me to make it better?” 

You looked towards your friends to see that everything had stilled. The glow of the TV screen illuminated their faces but their forms were frozen. Only you and Wally were mobile.

He really was a little shit. 

“We can do whatever we want now,” he nipped at the skin below your ear, “they won’t even know.”

You leaned back into his chest, a breathy sigh leaving your lips. “Wally, we can’t.” 

You felt his chest reverberate with a chuckle. 

“Watch me.”

𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 —cocky!wally is something i never knew i needed and he really jumps from the page, no? i've also never written for an innocent!reader before so i hope i did the trope justice!

#1 Remembrance

She never asked to be an actress, all she really wanted was to follow in her father's footsteps... whatever they might've been. Her father... a great parent, no doubt, she remembered, right? The day her dad died? There had been so much bloodshed on that day in 2003, so much... death. It had now been eight years since that day and three years since surviving the fire, all thanks to her dog.

Penny (since neither of her parents could decide between Penelope or Peninah, they just decided to go with the nickname as her legal first name) Janice Winnie Forrester lay in her bed, a slender, soon-to-be 16-year-old teenage girl with fair skin, short auburn hair, and brown eyes. Her eyes darted over to her wardrobe, which contained not only all of her stage clothing but also her everyday clothing; a red T-shirt over a brown long-sleeved shirt, denim grey shorts, grey and white striped tights, alongside brown socks with a red line and brown boots, which she mostly wore when she was acting in the Bolt TV show. Her casual outfits were as such as a dark blue long-sleeved T-shirt, brown pants, and black shoes. After quitting the TV show and moving on to a new life with her pets, she wore a light green T-shirt, denim blue shorts, and gray shoes. Penny could see her childhood clothing peeking out from beneath the wardrobe, a yellow T-shirt with pink lining and purple flowers, blue shorts, and pink shoes, one of Penny's outfits was a spy outfit which Consisted of a black helmet with night vision goggles, a black T-shirt with red lining over a black long-sleeved shirt, black pants, a holster, and gray shoes, she also had a long-sleeved version of her iconic getup with a gray scarf over her red long-sleeved-shirt and white pants for cold weather, and green shoes, as well as a red tank top. She had refused to let her mom get rid of them as they had been the last thing she had worn when her dad had last seen her on that day. There was also a stain on the shirt that had never been removed, since the stain was of her dad's blood when she stayed with him after he had died.

She then remembered that day as all of the painful memories of the past came flooding back to her until it felt like it was only yesterday;

She was only seven about to turn eight in July of 2003, she was in the Holiday Inn located in Metropolis Illinois just minding her own business when suddenly there was what sounded like a sonic boom from outside shook the hotel room. She rushed outside just in time to witness Krypto the Superdog getting pummeled to the ground right in front of her by Steppenwolf. "Ugh, I'm getting too old for this!" Krypto grunted.

Then Red X/Brick Pettirosso came up from behind him and knocked him down as Steppenwolf shouted, " Traitor!" to which Red X simply said, "I'm as much a traitor as you are, Steppenwolf!"

Red X was then joined by his division of the Titans and their pet counterparts (Kid Flash/Wallace Rudolph "Wally" West with Lightning Rodney the roadrunner, Aqualad/Garth with Tusky the walrus, Wonder Girl/Donna Hinckley Stacy Troy with Leepa the kanga-mouse, and finally Speedy/Roy William Harper Jr. with Quill the porcupine.

to make sure that he stayed down but were unsuccessful as he easily got back up, his armor glistening in the sunlight.

Penny felt smaller than usual when Steppenwolf fully stood up, he stood at a massive 10 feet, while carrying his electro-axe.

Then Nightwing/Richard John "Dick" Grayson

arrived with his division of the Titans (Starfire/Kory Anders a.k.a. Princess Koriand'r, Beast Boy/Garfield Mark "Gar" Logan, Raven/Rachel Roth, and finally Terra/Princess Tara Markov of Markovia) to destroy the Axe in which they succeeded (with some help from Krypto the Superdog who used his ice breath on it) with the Axe shattering into thousands of pieces.

"Omegan, deal with these pathetic creatures!" Steppenwolf commanded Darkseid's loyal lead parademon. "Very well," Omegan told him while chewing on some seared steak.

But before they could do anything, they were pummeled by Doomsday/Davis Bloome and Armagedon/Melanie Whitney.

Dr. William Forrester came out of a small but effective hiding spot thanks to Bolt I/Larry Bolatinsky and walked calmly up to the Apokaliptians and prepared a bfg to use on them. Just then Steppenwolf's eyes glowed an angry shade of blue as he roared before charging at Penny's dad, knocking a very large car out of his way which landed right in front of Penny, obscuring her vision of what was going on as well as trapping her. After she finally was able to escape from where the battered car was, Penny looked around the destroyed part of the Metropolis neighborhood. She saw Cyborg/Victor "Vic" Stone hopping away back to the Titans and Justice League, due to missing his right leg that Steppenwolf had ripped off.

Batman/Bruce Thomas Wayne helped him over to where he could get fixed. His girlfriend Steel/Natasha Jasmine Irons approached him and kissed him. "It's so great to see you alive and in one piece, my Starlight," he told her.

Penny looked over at a café where she saw Larry leaving it, looking super guilty. So she made her way over to it and then she saw him, her father who was on a table, blood staining his clothes, face and hands. Tears started to fill her eyes as she made her way over to him. She saw a shadow of something or someONE leaving the place but she thought nothing of it. She shook her father to see if he was still alive, however when he didn't move, she cried harder as it confirmed that he was truly dead.

Back in the present of 2011, Penny was still thinking about that day when her phone rang. She reached over her dad's final birthday gift (Bolt, a White Swiss Shepherd dog) to grab her cell and see who was calling her so early in the morning. It was Bailey Whitney, her boyfriend! The ringing stopped before she could answer, so she received a text instead, in which it read; on my way from the war looking forward to seeing you again love you should be there by nightfall. Penny smiled, Bailey had always been the only one who didn't try to console her over the loss of her dad at every point in her life. She did eventually develop a crush on him which evolved into a severe romance over the years. She shut her eyes, her heart fluttering and excited for him to be with her boyfriend on her birthday. Before she knew it, she was asleep.

“Thank you.” You said to Donna as she gave you a cup of warm hot chocolate. You were over the Boden’s house for Christmas, helping Donna with dinner and Wallace with wrapping gifts. You always loved to come over and help out, especially around the holidays when Wallace is busy and won’t have enough time to come home. You acted sorta like a nanny from time to time. Donna loved having you around to babysit Terrence and just to talk to another person from time to time.
