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! All chapters can be found here.

( Dick finally got his orders to ship out on February 1, 1953. )

I’ve dug out an oldie but goodie to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Enjoy The Jig’s Up! with a stellar DC cast! :)

( Dick blinked. He looked very tired, and Bruce thought that it was not just a result of his illness. How long had he worried about this before he fell ill? It probably helped bring on his collapse. )

November is Thanksgiving Month, and so the stories feature that delicious holiday:

The First Thanksgiving: Steve explains the first Thanksgiving to Thor and decides that the Avengers ought to celebrate it as a family.

Family III: Competitive Cooking (Or The Year That Alfred Saved Thanksgiving!!! ;)) starts out as a classic disaster as Bruce and Ollie COOK!!!

Wow, Arrow, kill me, why dontcha?

( Spoilers for the entire season, including the finale )
