GAH. Fic love for disposable teens!

Disposable Teens.

Go read it. Batman fic. Gen. Revolves mostly around Bruce, Jason, Dick and Tim. It's actually a series and it is so fucking good that I was actually whimpering when I reached the last (it's a WIP, alas) chapter. Long chapters, packed with action and plot progression but really easy to keep track of.

It's got some original villains in there as well including an assassin -- which made me squee because yay, assassins! -- and a crime ring in Russia. Why am I using this one entry to rec it?

It has snarky!Jason. It has snarky Jason and conflicted Bruce and angry Tim and slightly not-sure-what's-happening Dick. It has Bart and Kon being good friends and Cass being useful. It has Jason being a cheerful sociopath but unable to stomach watching a woman being tortured. It has the Joker being obsessive.

Setting-wise, it's got Jason as Red Hood but none of the Nightwing junk (I hope like crazy the Wiki page on Jason is inaccurate about what's happening to him), so basically, think about the fight with Tim. It starts from that fight but takes it differently so that it didn't end the same. It also makes what happened to Jason in Ethopia a little darker.

Originally, I was pretty worried about the original male villain guy that's the assassin mostly in case he turned out to be a gay Marty Sue but nope. He's cool. Cold, snarky, ruthless but not inhuman. He's got his weaknesses, he's got his fears and he and Jason interact perfectly to create the kind of dialogue that has me quietly snickering.

Read it. Go. I command you to. *happy little fangirl*

My online time is way weird when I'm at home. X_X I'm sorry! How are you doing?

Eh, um... okay I guess. Lots of things have been kind of wonky. I'll explain more when/if I ever see you on AIM/MSN again~

Well, you'll hopefully never see me on AIM again since AIM is made of evil but surely you'll catch me on MSN. XD

Okay, I know that this post is, like, ridiculously old, but I was just skimming things and I found this, and the fic you describe sounds really interesting, but I can't for the life of me find it in the link you provided. I don't suppose you'd be able to give me a more current link?

I checked and couldn't find a better link, sorry! Maybe e-mail the site mistress, as the person whose fanfic it was?
