Devilc's Den 2.0

Title: Shade's Journal -- Darts of Pleasure
Fandom: DCU
Pairing: The Shade/Owen Mercer
Rating: Mature

Author's Note: These are two of my favorite characters in the DCU and they've been largely forgotten in the past 12 months. Continuity? Set post 52 and post Outsiders. Please don't rag me on the finer points of Owen's recent continuity, because I haven't read Countdown or any of the tie-ins and last I heard, Owen was working with the Suicide Squad and ... I'm really hoping he'll show up as a member of the Sinister Six at some point. (I think he and Catman would get on like a house on fire.)

Anyhow, the idea of Shade/Owen grabbed me last month and would not let go and this is finally what has come of it.

My challenge/request to you is to write one for your own favorite/most amusing character. Please post a link in the comments.

Title: Downside Up
Fandom: DCU -- Outsiders
Pairing: Owen Mercer/Dick Grayson (Captain Boomerang II/Nightwing)
Rating: Adult

Author's Note: What I was able to salvage from a longer story (that was going nowhere fast, really) and got joss'd by the events of Five of a Kind #1.

Title: Yet Face to Face
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Not applicable
Author's Note: This was written when promo art made it look like Owen would be part of the new Outsiders, before Tony Bedard announced that no he would not be, and before the Five Of A Kind Captain Boomerang & Nightwing issue hit the light of day.

It was part one of a much longer planned story, another fragment of which will probably see the light of day. (It wasn't joss'd the way this was.)
