Repeating Patterns (DCU/Smallville Crossover, Lex/Jason One-Shot)

This one… I'm not sure where this one came from other than occasionally my characters start talking in my head. Stories happen when they do that. I'm fine with that most of the time but when DCU's Jason Todd (Robin II) started talking to Smallville's Lex Luthor the story got a little weird. Especially when they started flirting and Lex got domestic on me.

As it is, Terry just waits, letting that wrong, awful, ...

Wishful Drinking, by Carrie Fisher

This memoir is hilarious. I literally laughed out loud many times while reading it. Carrie Fisher tells what she can remember (subsequent to electroshock therapy) of her life, her additions and recoveries, her parents' complicated love lives and fame, her own early crushes and loves, and why Cary Grant did an intervention on her. Yes, Cary Grant!
