DC Universe: Computer Bug by boredom_doodles

Computer Bug (Ted Kord | G | 250 words): How Ted might have become Oracle. I like things that play with other paths characters could take, and this is a nicely punchy ficlet focused on Ted Kord becoming Oracle rather than Blue Beetle.

Excerpt:
Ted couldn't decide if it was horribly unfair or poetic justice, having his back broken like so much dry kindling by an evil robot he helped build.

DC Universe: Something That Never Happened To Lyle And Brainy by amarin_rose

Something That Never Happened To Lyle And Brainy (Brainy/Lyle | PG13 | 1,658 words): Lyle is irritated with the visiting, 21st century Titans and complains to Brainy. This is cute! There's some nice banter and a sweet reveal of feelings.

Excerpt:
Querl just bared his teeth sharply in that little half-smile of his that could mean anything from, 'Why must I be surrounded by idiots?' to, 'I'm thinking of all the different ways I could make your life hell for annoying me, and I can't see an end in sight.'

Lyle always got turned on by that smirk. He had a feeling that wasn't exactly healthy, but it was by far the least problematic of his personal issues. Seeing that he wasn't going to win this argument, Lyle performed a less-than-deft change of subject. "So how difficult do you think it would be to get most of the Legion to wear nametags to the next meeting with our time-displaced colleagues?"

Querl not only didn't even blink at the non-sequitur, but he also had a ready answer. "Twenty-five percent of the Legion would go along with your request if you asked them, but I calculate that you'd only be able to convince another seventeen percent without a direct order." Left unsaid was that Lyle couldn't order them to wear nametags; Querl had finally stopped stating the obvious 'for the benefit of less intelligent minds' – at least to Lyle.

Lyle was pretty sure that that shouldn't turn him on, either.
