[ID: Digital drawing of Starfire from dc comics. She’s floating in space with her back arched and her arm outstretched. Her flame-colored hair trails out behind her. In front of her is the earth and moon with the San Francisco skyline and Titans Tower in front. Behind her is the planet Tamaran.]

@koriandrappreciationweek #day6: Earth/Tamaran

I'm officially out of my Tumblr break! I'm proud of how my drawing skills have improved in the meantime, so now I'm taking the opportunity to realize this idea that I've had for a while, and maybe I'll even do this with more superheroes (feel free to suggest).

There's also a textless panel if anyone knows how to insert some visually better text (yea I kinda suck in this)

"love?"

the nickname no longer felt like being hooked up to a battery.

for a long time, her smooth voice calling "love" would shoot exactly that- love, the intense chemical concoction that it is- directly into your veins, making your heart flutter and your face warm.

now, the warmth lived in your chest instead of your face, and calmed your heart instead of sending it racing. now, "love" settled neatly into your being, steadying and comforting as though it belonged there. love no longer felt like a jump-start.

you shifted back from the sink, twisting to look through the doorway and into the living area of the apartment. "kitchen!"

her heels announced her approach and moments later she came into view. a broad grin was on her face as she set her keys on the counter, eyes not leaving yours. "i'm home," she said fondly.

"yes, yes you are." you sounded smitten, even to your own ears- and from the way her smile grew impossibly brighter, your tone wasn't lost on her either. "my home," you added quietly, love shoving the words out of you to make room for the way it seemed to double just by looking at her.

she laughed warmly, moving to tug you into her arms. "clever. you're my home, as well."

you tossed the scrub brush you had been using into the soapy bowl in the sink, melting into her hold.

Alright, @koriandrappreciationweek here's Day 2: "Universe" - had a lot of fun imagining it, silly as it is.

Sorry, I apparently only know how to write novels.

----------

Kory walks into the kitchen on a bright spring morning. There's coffee made - X'hal bless Donna. Kory pours herself a huge cup and starts to take a drink.

"Wait, I think I hate coffee?" She takes a sip and spits it in the sink. Okay, weird day today.

Garfield walks in, green hair slicked over, briefcase in hand.

"Hey honey, I've got to get going early today - big meeting. But I can get off early to grab the kids from soccer. Work for you?"

She hesitates - what on earth is happening this morning? "What kids, Gar?"

He laughs, "you're adorable, sweetie. Our kids! Okay, gotta go." He gives her a peck on the cheek, grabs an apple off the counter and dashes off." Kory watches as his souped up muscle car tears down the road and over the bridge away from Titans Tower. She doesn't have much time to think though because two little girls and a cyborg boy come bounding in, ready for school.

"Mooooooom!!!!! Raven won't let me wear her purple converse!" a 10 year old Donna cries. "She didn't even ask. She just took them." The calm and factual response sounds like the Raven Kory knows, but who on earth is this little girl?

"Can I have my friend Dick over after school today? We are working on a ham radio project and... "

"Vic, I - you're... so tiny." The girls titter as their argument fades.

"Gosh mom, that's not super nice to point out."

"X'hal! I don't think I'm your mom, you guys. I'm your friend, Starfire! I came from Tameran- I'm dating Dick and I'm roommates with Donna and I have a modeling job!"

Donna matter of factly pats Kory on the cheek. "Mom, we love you but you're old, and we're kids. And unless you're hiding something, I think you work at Macy's. I don't know who Dick is but we won't tell dad." She giggles.

Raven glances out the window and sees their bus coming up the road in the distance. "Time to go, I'm not getting in trouble again today." She tugs Victor out and Donna scampers after. "Bye mom!!" "Byeeeee!"

She instinctively kisses each of them on the tops of their heads. She may not be their mom, but they do seem to need one anyway.

"Okay, bye sweeties. Hope you have a good day at school."

Kory pours herself another cup of coffee, adds four spoonfuls of sugar and sits down on the couch utterly bewildered. This time she manages a few sips. For a long time she's harbored hopes to be married, and to have kids... Dick's kids. But this, X'hal! This is just too weird.

"What on the actual earth is happening right now!? Married to Garfield!? Working at Macy's?! What even is Macy's!?"

She walks to the big wall where the team hangs all their favorite photos, hoping to see the familiar faces of the team after that night at Lazeli's pizza, or the picture of her and Donna at the New Years party at Wayne Manor. Where are all the photos of Dick? She's taken a million and at least a few were up on the wall, she was sure. The one of him, Wally and Roy after highschool graduation - the one of she and Dick teaching Lian to ride a bike on her 2nd birthday. Where did it all go?

The telephone rings. She isn't sure she wants to answer it, but maybe it will bring some clarity to this utterly confusing moment. "He-hello?"

"Oh Hi Mrs. Logan, Kory." It's the deep, quiet voice of Bruce Wayne.

Now this is unusual - he's never directly called the Tower before, especially not to talk with her. Dick's dad is nice, just rather standoffish when it comes to Kory. It's been improving but she just hasn't been able to break through that wall yet. "This is Bruce Wayne. I just wanted to call and make sure that you knew the boys were planning on working on ham radio tonight at the manor. I know sometimes Dick forgets to tell me when he's going to be out and I get so worried. You just never know with crime in the city these days. I just thought I'd call and let you know!"

"Oh um, Bruce, thank you so much. Yes, Vic mentioned it."

"Great! Alfred will make sure they eat. Have a good one." The phone clicks silent. She's just utterly bewildered. She flops back on the couch, unsure of what to do next. The phone rings again but it sounds further away this time, and she's feeling rather lazy and decides not to get it. Maybe she'll just close her eyes for a few minutes and the solution will present itself.

Suddenly her eyes pop open. The phone continues to ring but Dick, oh! Her actual 22 year old boyfriend is standing in the kitchen, hands covered in pizza sauce.

"Hey babe, so sorry - can you grab that? I was just in the middle of making this, Sorry it woke you up!"

Kory flies off the couch to the kitchen, then backtracks to the picture wall. There it is - Kory with a champagne flute, Donna in that strappy black dress with Terry hanging his arm around both the girls' shoulders. Smiling the biggest smiles. Kory smiles now and dashes to the kitchen and wraps herself around Dick Grayson. He helplessly holds up his dirty hands. She breathes, "I'm so glad to be back."

"I'm pretty sure you were only asleep for like ten minutes." He washes off his hands, then gives her a real hug.

She sighs and shakes her head, "Actually, it felt like a lifetime."

@koriandrappreciationweek’r day 1 - I decided to draw something based on Kory’s modeling career.

[ID: 2 digital drawings of koriand’r. She has orange skin and curly dark red hair in a high ponytail with a single flyaway. she is wearing a yellow wrap around dress and blue high heeled boots. The first drawing shows a photoshoot set with big umbrella reflectors and a beige background. Kory is standing casually and speaking to the photographer while the photographer adjusts the lights. The second drawing is a finished shot from the photoshoot. Kory is sitting on the ground leaning back on her arms. she is now wearing teal tinted sunglasses.]

[ID: Digital painting of Starfire from DC comics sitting on a golden throne in a room full of plants with her hands crossed in her lap. She has pinkish red hair in braids pulled into a bun. She’s wearing a fuchsia dress that has a plunging neckline and a rose petal inspired skirt. She’s wearing the Tamarean crown.]

@koriandrappreciationweek Day 5 - royalty

[galaxymolecule]

[ID: Messy drawing of Starfire from dc comics. She’s sitting in the dark wearing a tee shirt and shorts. Her eyes are starburst reflections of a light shining on her, like a cat’s eyes in a photograph. She’s holding a bowl and spoon. In the corner there’s a spikey speech bubble with a comic book symbol swear.]
