Summary:

A murder mystery at Smallville High drives Kon to brush up on his detective skills – and his undercover work. He might need to call in some help. Good thing his best friend is an expert at both.

3 years ago, I made a post about incogneat-oh's best fic. I hoped to make a series, because I LOVE reccing older authours!

Better late than never, here's part two. (And maybe we'll call this post about jamjar part 1.5?) This time, we're focusing on glymr and iesika!

Both of these authours are amazing on their own, and they've also worked together several time to create exceptional works. Most of the fic are romantic, with gorgeous characterization. They also really respect side characters, and do some amazing exploration of AUs. (Prepare for grieving, though. Neither authour is afraid of tackling the fallout of DC's murder-happy tendencies.)

Kings Among Runaways (starting with Looking Out For The Little Guy), by glymr and iesika - Jason takes a 'homeless' Tim under his wing. They survive on the streets, fall in love, and eventually get entangled with Batman.

(Warnings for underage sex, referenced sexual abuse/child prostitution, child abuse, and neglect. Possibly other stuff, my most recent reread was a few years ago.) The WORLD these two authours build! The side characters! The history! What a work of art!

Perennial, by glymr - the Drakes 'moved' to Smallville when Tim was younger. Which means that Tim used to spend a lot of time alone in the country, with nothing to do but explore Lex Luthor's childhood home. Eventually, he started helping out the Kents. But when they take in their 'nephew' Connor, Tim's excuses to come over start disappearing.

(Warnings for underage sex and temporary main character death.) Really good. Like this has a lot of really fluffy romance, which is usually my kryptonite, and I've still reread it at least 6 times!

Peek Not Through a Keyhole, by iesika - this is original flavour Bernard, from long before the reboot. Original Bernard is SO SO GOOD, you guys! He starts off wanting to know all the mysteries of one Tim Drake. They turn out to be ... a lot. Maybe too much.

(Warnings for referenced death.)

You Are Cordially Invited, by glymr - Young Justice has a reunion celebration. But this is actually a story about taking care of Red Robin, who isn't particularly easy to take care of. It's one of my favourite fic of all time.

Complicated Questions and Simple Answers, by iesika - Tim is trans. The second story, especially, really gives Alfred a chance to shine. The first one is about Bruce's less than stellar attempt to do right by his new kid.

(Warnings for accidental transphobia in the first fic.)

Never a Hero, by iesika - Ra's revived Jack Drake in an attempt to trap Tim. Jack decides to think about something outside of himself for once. Finally, someone puts Tim first. It makes me cry!

Hannibal | Hannibal/Will | 50k+ | bloodplay; knife play; dubious consent; murder and gore; mentions of animal abuse (not MCs, else I would have left); typical Hannibal stuff really, but with sex

Will acquires a murderous secret admirer, and learns how much easier the habit of violence can be with an enthusiastically willing target.

Starts Small by twoseas Hannibal and Will were together until a breach of trust ended things spectacularly. Brought back into Will's orbit, Hannibal fully intends to rectify the situation. Featuring bitter ex Will Graham, a regretful Hannibal, Alana being a far better friend than Hannibal deserves, and the casual presence of murder and cannibalism.

The Borderland State by nekosmuse Three years after Hannibal's arrest, Will Graham stands on the front porch of his Georgian seaside home and watches twin headlights navigate the winding stretch of his lane. There is only one reason Jack Crawford would travel all this way, in the rain: Hannibal Lecter has escaped from prison, and no one knows where he is. Written for the Hannibal Kink Meme prompt: Will figured out Hannibal was the Chesapeake ripper, resulting Hannibal's imprisonment and a complete breakdown for Will. A few years later, Hannibal escapes from prison. Despite the risk, the first thing he does is go after his Mongoose. Give me obsessive, possessive, creepy as hell Hannibal who still wants Will for his own.

Shinkon by iesika Courtship and marriage among killers and cannibals.

Redemption by houseofcannibals After very publicly (some would argue theatrically) losing his mind and murdering three young women in an unconscious state, FBI consultant Will Graham is sentenced to serve three consecutive life sentences in the notorious Shawshank State Prison. Upon arrival, he is unsettled to find himself in a cell neighbouring that of infamous serial killer Dr Hannibal Lecter. Having already spent twelve years incarcerated, Dr Lecter has established a fearful reputation for himself inside the prison walls, and amuses himself by dealing in fine contraband.

When Will approaches Lecter with an unusual request, the two gradually strike up a friendship which, over the years, develops into a powerful infatuation that will change them both irreversibly. But prison is no fairy-tale world, and there are dangers lurking around every corner - the violent captain of the guards, Jack Crawford; the scheming warden, Frederick Chilton; and the brutal gang known as the Sisters, led by the murderer Francis Dolarhyde.

And then there is the secret which Will is hiding in his cell. A secret which, sooner or later, will change everything.

After spending time in and around Disneyland today, I was really hoping you were NOT at the Independent Retail Professionals convention but just happened upon it. And yes, you were probably kicked out by someone who just wanted your table.

Yeah, there’s twenty five thousand of them here, but I am not with that conference. Can you guys imagine if I like...randomly had a full-time job selling Amway or Avon or something, and I just never mentioned it here. CAN YOU IMAGINE. 

I mean, they all seem like they’re doing their thing, they seem happy, so go and god bless, I guess, but man. I can’t approve of the scam methodology of the parent company. 

Also all the clothes they sell have people names. That’s really creepy. It’s like you’re wearing someone’s skin.

It has a fucking Captain America shield, how is this real? How? Sam, did you will this truck into existence? Did we, your readers, will this truck into existence?

I DON’T KNOW. I was like hey, a potato truck, what a coinciWHAT THE HELL IS THAT LOGO. 

arsenicjade replied to your photoset “There is a massive food truck rally outside the hotel. I found Sam...”

I would say I am impressed, but no, actually, this is exactly what I expect for you, so that would be a bald-faced lie.

I seriously was waiting for someone to be like “Sam, that is a bullshit lie.” It’s awesome that people have such faith in my ability to find trouble wherever I go. 

iesika replied to your photoset “There is a massive food truck rally outside the hotel. I found Sam...”

Did you get thrown out for demanding some kind of IP fees from Spudrunner's, because I think you should get some

I mean, technically we both owe Marvel money, but they seem like good people and I have given Marvel a lot of money over the years so I’m calling it even. 

tamanegichipolla replied to your post “Oh hey so tooth news! Good news is that it wasn’t even tooth. It was...”

If you want one that isn't too bright and your treatment is covered by insurance you might wanna consider zirconia crowns? They're tough and white. Alternatively gold works as well but yeah. --a dental student
