( Steve drove the ’57 Chevy down the road, the Atlantic Ocean sparkling under the sunshine to his and Diana’s right. He whistled a jaunty tune while Diana smiled. People walked along the beach with a few stretched out on towels. It was a cool June day as Steve kept an eye out for excited kids crossing the street. )

Wow, Arrow, kill me, why dontcha?

Author’s Notes: While this was written from Diana’s POV, this story is structured like Strange Brew and The Family Series with multiple characters and pairings. The prominent pairings are Clark/Bruce, Dick/Roy, Ollie/Dinah, and Steve/Diana, and there are other pairings and characters included as well. Each chapter will list those who appear in that particular segment.

I decided to use the aliens from "Until The Yellow Sun Blesses You Again...". Why waste good bad guys and their vicious winged pets? ;)
Yeah, I labelled this "One" as in first-in-a-series, because I think a sequel might be in order. If I don’t write one, I’ll just knock off the Roman numeral.
In an aside, I’m glad that we were taught Roman numerals in grade school, otherwise how could we know which Super Bowl it is? ;) 


 

I absolutely have to recommend the following fics by the wonderfully-talented pervyficgirl: To Face Unafraid, a story set at the North Pole starring our favorite DCU characters. This first one centers around Kon/Tim, but even if you don't usually read this pairing, I'd recommend it as it's well-written and sets up the 'world' Pervy has created for the next fic, A Time For Celebration, which is one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES! :) It is also one of the most delightful, well-written and hilarious fanfics that is just perfect for this time of year. :) The main pairings/threesomes are Dick/Roy and Diana/Clark/Bruce.

They were written last year so some of you may already have read them, but why not re-visit? And if you haven't, they are joy like freshly-fallen snow! ;)

So, if you're interested in clever fic and DCU characters in a new (and fun) light, why not check them out? :)

P.S. Don't fool with Mother Nature (Dinah!) ;)
