alixtii: Drusilla holding a knife to Angel's throat. Text: "Got Freud?" (Drusilla)
. . . and another suitcase in another hall. Ahem. I've managed to close another of my hundreds of tabs, and I have another fic I want to pass on. Someone probably recced it to me, but since it's not Buffy many of you have probably not read it.

How Much String is in the World. Who Has It. By [livejournal.com profile] someinstant. This is DC comics fic, but you probably know as much canon as I do no matter who you are. Dick is a former Robin, now Nightwing; Tim is Robin; Bludhaven is this place where they fight crime and it is sort of like Gotham and sort of not.

But I don't care if you have to approach it as a piece of original fic; it's good enought that you'll love it anyway. It's not about the universe; it's about the emotion, recounted from a quasi-detached viewpoint that just works. The style and tone are reminiscent of [livejournal.com profile] wisdomeagle at her best, and that's not praise I'd just throw around. [livejournal.com profile] someinstant does things with language that are just gorgeous, taking that quirky diagonal approach to the reality of the emotion.

It's m/m, which I rarely ever read, and I'm in love.
