RATING/WARNING(S): Teen. Some violence.
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 6,539, complete.
MAIN CHARACTERS: Martha Kent, Jonathan Kent, Clark Kent

FIC SUMMARY: Time travelers who plan to kill Superman never account for Martha Kent in their plans. She may not be the World's Finest, but she's a mother with a shotgun, and all told that might be scarier.

RECCER'S NOTES: A brilliant story about Martha Kent protecting her son from time travelling villains. Strangely adorable despite all of the killing.

RATING/WARNING(S): Teen
WIP?/WORD COUNT: complete / 67 000 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Barry Allen, Iris West, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, Joe West

FIC SUMMARY: Three months after the singularity, a wave of impossible robberies strikes Central City, and there is one obvious suspect: the Flash. But as Barry and his friends unite to track down the real culprit, they find themselves facing a dangerous new enemy in a pursuit that may cost them everything.

Post season 1.

RECCER'S NOTES: An epic, plotty imagining of what might have happened after the season one finale. If you spent the summer hoping Iris would finally get to be part of the gang, or wondering what DCU villains might make an appearance, this is the fic to scratch that itch. Plus: friendship and teamwork! So many feels.

RATING/WARNING(S): unrated by author (teen in my opinion)
WIP?/WORD COUNT: complete / 5000 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Mick Rory, Leonard Snart, Lisa Snart

FIC SUMMARY: Before a particle accelerator, an ice gun, and a scarlet speedster transform Central City, the Snart siblings could almost be considered normal.

Almost.

RECCER'S NOTES: An adorable pre-series look at Leonard Snart, the friend he commits crimes with, and the sister he'd do anything for. Nails that strange brew of kindness and toughness that comes with Wentworth Miller's Captain Cold.

RATING/WARNING(S): General Audiences
WIP?/WORD COUNT: 1152
MAIN CHARACTERS: Tim Drake, Bruce Wayne

FIC SUMMARY: "Assume success," says Bruce unencouragingly. "Describe how it's achieved."

RECCER'S NOTES: Betty explores the careful, exacting training in becoming Robin. There's so much depth expressed in the fic in such few words: Tim's drive to succeed and prove himself, Bruce's cold and clinical touch, the ruthlessness and ingenuity needed to be successful as a vigilante without any superhuman abilities. But most of all, read it for the ending, which is so satisfying and so well-developed that you can't help but gasp and then scroll up to re-read all over again.
