Fic: Making Tea For Superman
Oct. 24th, 2011 04:08 amTitle: Making Tea for Superman
Genre: Superhero verse, Action
Rating: PG
Summary: Steven Mueller has the opportunity to see what most normals don't: the day to day inner workings of a superhero base. He works logistics on the Globe, a sky base above Septima City where many superheroes live and work, including Nicholas Barnes, code name the Cobra. Or alternately, the Thorn in Mueller's Side.
Notes: Written for Asexual Awareness Week (story features a biromatic asexual character), and for LT3's Odd Man Out challenge. Partially inspired by
grimmsical's superhero verse Negative Space and Kurt Busiek's Astro City. Also, holy CRAP, I wrote this entire thing in one day. This is why the story is a bit rushed. Now with companion piece He Blinded Me With Science.
Bonus: you get to hear me use American twenty-something vernacular in a fic for the first time ever since this is my first piece of truly contemporary writing.
Also for anyone interested, these are the sort of coffee+liquor drinks I imagined McGrath's coffee bar would serve. Enjoy.
