Justice League: A Self Apart by Te
A Self Apart (Wonder Woman/Hawkgirl | R | 1,838 words) is Diana musing about her situation and about Hawkgirl. This very much feels like it could fit without stretching canon and expounds on the Diana given in the show.
Excerpt:
Diana knows they think she's naive, that there's something inherently limiting about living one's life surrounded by women, and only women. They forget her age, and her strength, and her education.
Somehow, none of these things matter against the fact that she'd never exchanged words with a man until leaving Themyscira. They treat her with 'kid gloves,' and joke, and tease, and even Flash -- a man with far more bravery than sense -- is far more likely to try his wiles on the utterly uninterested (and violent) Shayera than on her.
And it's not as though she particularly *wants* Flash's attentions -- Diana has played stones with little girls more mature than him -- but... but.
