Fortress Of Good Fortune

Well, I'm really getting into the holiday spirit! I'm finally getting some ideas for holiday fic, so hopefully I can post at least a few before Yule and Christmas, though if I post in January, you can get extra holiday fic during the post-holiday blues, ha, ha!

Right now I have a Bruce/Dick story written, total fluff, that needs work, but it's coming along. And I have an idea for Golden Age Steve/Diana, and maybe some World's Finest. I also started a Natasha/Pepper story last night that might turn into something.

I might even have something Clexian to write! Right now that's kind of iffy, but the boys are hanging around, so we'll see. :)

How about you? Any festive ideas for your favorite characters this year? :)

Author’s Notes: This AU is set in the pre-Crisis On Infinite Earths Earth-2. The Golden Age heroes lived on that Earth, and that included the Dynamic Duo. Earth-2’s Dick Grayson never split from Bruce, but he gradually made a life for himself away from Gotham. The retcon part comes as he winds up getting his Greetings from Uncle Sam. Note: The incident in Dick’s letter happened to my father. Pretty shocking for a 17-year-old from Massachusetts training for combat in Korea. Also the training camp scene. The Irish-American was my father. Welcome to the South!

Author’s Notes: Written for my 2008 Wonder Woman Love Fic/Art Calendar Challenge (December): Prompt: Gift, my 2008 DCU Fic/Art Family Winter Holidays Challenge, and the Holidays Challenge and Family Challenge for jsa_allstars. Also, this fits the 2008 DCU Free-For-All Winter Holiday Challenge. Prompts: 20. T15; P29: Christmas Tree and 21. T15; P46: Cookies, and 1. Holiday Party, 3. Christmas, 9. Mistletoe, 16. Family/Home, and 23. Santa Claus/Sleigh/Reindeer.
This story takes place on Earth-2 during the Christmas season of 1942. It’s mainly fluff, inspired by my Holiday Daydreams, but does have a touch of melancholy, as was often the case during the war years.
The entire series (set during the Golden Age) can be found here.

Author’s Notes: This story takes place during World War II. All Golden Age stories of Diana and Steve will take place under this title. Also, Diana refers to "Vulcan’s forge" which would more likely be "Hephaestus’ forge" as that is the Greek version of the name, but I liked the sound of "Vulcan" better. :)
