Cassie bites her own tongue, and tightens her grip on Kon’s face a little more. 

“You’re the one cleaning it up after this, right?” she asks Bart absently, who takes a quarter of a second longer than usual to slow back down into mostly-objective time and answer–so he was busy coming, probably–and gives her a skeptical look. His face is flushed and sweaty and his hair’s a windblown mess, and she takes a moment to admire the look, but doesn’t dwell on it. Kon’s the star of the show tonight, obviously. 

Bart and Tim know that too, since neither of them stops fucking either his ass or his mouth in favor of the conversation. Tim she’s sure won’t be lasting much longer, for obvious reasons, and Bart’ll equally obviously go at least a few more rounds, though she wonders what’s going to be the thing to push Kon over the edge. 

“I said so, didn’t I?” Bart says. “Why, you wanna do it? I don’t know if you know how to do it right, I don’t want you to leave it all gross or anything.” 

“I wouldn’t,” Cassie huffs, and rocks her hips down a little harder onto Kon’s cock. “That wasn’t the point anyway, I was just gonna say you should pretty it up a little for next time.” 

“‘Next time’?” Tim echoes, rolling her nipples between his fingertips again and then squeezing her breasts briefly. She bites her lip and rocks her hips down hard. He has the most callouses of any of them–Kon doesn’t have any at all, and Bart’s don’t last, and hers only exist because she’s done a whole lot of Amazonian-level weapons training.

“I just think it’d pretty up nice,” she says reasonably, tilting her head a little as she inspects Kon’s face. Mostly what she’s seeing is his wet and well-fucked mouth and his bared throat and the come and drool all over it, but she catches a glimpse of his unfocused eyes, and his lashes that haven’t even flickered. She wonders what Kon’ll do if any come drips into them, because it looks like some might be about to. Will he flinch? Will he divert it with his TTK so he doesn’t have to move? Will he–

The dripping trail of come she was looking at slides down into one of Kon’s eyes. And over one of Kon’s eyes. 

His lashes don’t even flutter. 

. . . that’s definitely not a thing she ever thought about as being a Kryptonian thing. 

Jason has absolutely no idea when and how he fucked up enough for either Superboy or the fake who might currently be accessing his memories to notice him looking at him, but he is really hoping he’s gonna be able to play it off as just an aesthetic admiration thing if anyone asks. Technically that’s all it really is anyway, considering how well he and Superboy don’t know each other. The fact that they’re soulmates is just–not relevant in any of that. At all. 

[[vibrates excitedly]] omg thank you for asking me this (I hope you’re okay with me publishing this answer? ngl I just wanted to yell about transformers to the maximum number of people)

okay so, to start off the comics I’m gonna be talking about are the IDW GenOne continuity, which is the current line that all take place in the same universe. Here’s is a p comprehensive guide to the entire continuity, with some of that person’s recs marked on it too.

BUT ANYWAY: the main, Number One, rec I 100% want to yell at everyone about is definitely Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye. It’s REALLY REALLY GOOD, honestly, def among my fave comics right now. (and it’s v easy to get into without knowing too much about anything else, imo). MTMTE picks up after the whole big Autobot/Decepticon war (that in the comics has been being fought for four million years) ends, and a bunch of nerds decide to go on a quest in space, chasing a myth that could restore hope to the species~ or something. The quest is…not actually that big a part of the plot - it’s more about the characters, and the adventures they have along the way. 

IT’S REALLY GOOD. It’s funny but can also go pretty dang emotional when it wants to, it has great characters, it has great relationships between the characters (including same-gender romantic relationships - yup, gay transformers), it has really great worldbuilding, great & interesting plots that are really well put-together… it’s just great, I love it. If you read one Transformers comic (which is a totally legit way of going about things! I’m just bad at getting into things halfway), definitely make it MTMTE. 

After MTMTE if you wanna go on there’s also its “sister series”, the comic formerly known as Transformers: Robots In Disguise, (now just called The Transformers). Like MTMTE, it picks up after the war ends, but this series stays on Cybertron to focus on the mess of the post-war political climate. It’s also pretty good, and def  the logical next step if you wanna get deeper into the IDW universe.

There’s also some miniseries side-stories I would recommend, including:

Last Stand Of The Wreckers: very dark, very brutal, very good story covering a mission during the war when a mission into captured territory goes downhill. (A lot of plot points from it come back in MTMTE.)

Windblade (the first series): similar type of plot as exRID, but probably easier to get into, and with a focus on female characters and GORGEOUS ART. 

Windblade (the second series) is also good! it does start with a crossover with exRID and branches off from there, so read that one if your read exRID.

Drift: Empire of Stone: pretty fun adventure story about what a couple former MTMTE characters get up to after they leave the crew.

uhhh that’s pretty much it for recs from me? honestly I’m relatively new to the TF comics as well, so there’s almost definitely other cool stuff that others would include but I left off.

"But, sir." Tim protests as Todd gives him a look. "I used honorifics, you can't be mad at me for that – anyway – why me. This is not my job. This was not in my job description. I signed up to serve my country not deal with aliens. Isn't this like – I don't know. Don't we have a special agency for this yet? I feel like we need to get on top of that. I mean. Look at the comic books. Comic books have this sorted out."

"Yeah, well, we aren't living in a comic book and these are orders from higher up. It's out of my hands and out of yours." Todd smacks Tim's chest with a manila folder. "And like you said, you signed up to serve. Here's how you're going to serve, Drake. So sit down, shut up, and memorize that file. Because the last time we had a Kryptonian brought onto base he ended up causing the world some crazy levels of damage via alien-terraforming."

"It wasn't Superman's fault." Tim mutters as Todd shoves him out of his office, flipping the folder on the so called "Superboy" open and pulling out one of the few pictures the surveillance team could get on him.

Tim turns around when he sees the picture – because he looks like he's Tim's age, and like he needs someone to hold his hand not cuff him -

Todd is standing in the doorway of his office, like he was waiting for Tim to turn around and says – "No protests, Drake. I don't care if his face makes you want to beat your head against a wall. I don't care how fucking dreamy you think he looks, treat him like he can snap you in two. Which he probably can."

"Sir, with all due respect? You suck. This assignment sucks. Aliens suck."
