Unproductive, slightly tipsy, and feeling :( for no good reason. So! What I usually do in this situation! Meme! This one nicked from
urban_anchorite most lately.
Make up a title for a story I didn't write, and I will respond with details of those non-written stories. You may, if you like, include details, such as pairings or fandom or whatnot.
Except you don't actually have to make up a title, if you'd rather just be like "The one where Amanda Waller captures the TARDIS" or whatever.

He does not really listen to her commands, even though she is sitting on his back at the time. And then eventually the truth comes out and she goes back a victorious alien catcher to her day job. It turned out to be a pretty relaxing vacation after all, though she keeps thinking about her new friend the talking horse. And then Comet shows up on her doorstep briefly in man form, and they totally have sex a bunch. They don't ride off into the sunset together b/c Amanda has some asskicking scheduled for the forseeable future, but they agree to keep in touch and hook up later if he happens to be human again?

Oh but Petra, I am pretty sure you have all ready heard all the details! ALL of them! They are glorious details and far too many to recount just now.
Except there is one point where they have to destroy the cross-dimensional Library-space entrance to make sure the hungry thing does not get out that way. Unless the London bubble library is just there for stage dressing really, on account of Gene Hunt?
Still wish I could come up with a more active role for Nelson, though. "Gatekeeper" is a purpose that requires him to be kinda rooted in place.

But then as Gus and the car guy are racing along a picturesque if unlikely empty road, they somehow end up coming across and recognizing a criminal who I guess is especially wanted? If it was a plottier fic, they'd be tied better to the plot, but I just wanted to write a car chase. Which is what happens! With the car guy holding Gus's cell phone with Shawn and the police dpt. on call waiting (having them on conference call was just annoying for everyone).
The car guy is freaking the hell out, which means it is up to Gus to be the cool collected one fighting crime in an awesome car like in some media reference I can't think up atm! Yeah, he doesn't really manage it. And then his cell phone starts to run out of batteries, which is a foreshadowing moment considering what kind of car he is driving...

With this one, when I came up with the title I was sure I was about to be writing the wooing of Dave Strider - coolest kid left in two universes - by John Egbert, the dude in my icon. He is... not really on the coolkid scale.
Somehow, though, it mutated into Dave being kind of a coolness guru, and in end form was a series of snippets of him advising the Homestuck aliens of the true meaning of cool. (With cross-cultural shenanigans liberally thrown in, of course.)
They are. Let us say. Remedial students in the subject.
He also ends up advising his human buddies, and they are somehow even worse. It is amazing, in the way a helicopter/rollercoaster collision that falls onto a freeway in rushhour is amazing. He seeks out the company of his sister who is the sole breath of arctic air in a sea of dweebery. Sure, she’s knitting at the time, but it’s ironic. (It isn’t ironic.) It’s so ironic it loops all the way back into sincerity, all right. Seriously, she’s currently knitting a terrible Christmas sweater for her girlfriend and it’s *still April* and what, does she think an alien vampire fashionista is *ever* going to get cold enough to wear that lopsided reindeer monstrosity? (It really isn’t ironic! Passive aggressive, OTOH....)
...Better than the time she was knitting boob cozies, though. All there is to say about that.
and the moral of the story is TFV! EMAIL OR MESSAGE ME ALREADY WE NEED TO GOSSIP RE: SHOES OKAY?

But if that can't be suggested because it was used as an example, then "the one where Ace the Bat-Hound Saves the World and Amanda Waller is Not Happy About It."
or "the one where Catwoman gives Supergirl some friendly advice."

"the one where Catwoman gives Supergirl some friendly advice." OTOH, is more of a joke without a punchline, and it is about Catwoman finding Supergirl compressing coal into alien computer diamonds, and then trying to get Supergirl to compress coal into the kind of diamonds she prefers!
Supergirl agrees immediately and makes her some, much to Selina's disappointment. There's no challenge there at *all*. And then the ending sort of peters out, because I decided I was more interested in what the alien computer crystals were about!
(As for the Ace the Bathound one, have you seen

Amanda Waller, Nightwing; Batverse

Oh.
The one where Dick Grayson realizes he's more queer than a 3 dollar bill and a two dicked swan.

[Um. Thinking about it, my answer is pretty full of references to porn, which iirc you could live without? If you'd prefer a gen answer let me know, I'd be more than happy to write a new scenario with these people!]

For Nightwing and
pornerotica... it would depend on the pairing, I guess. I'm not a Nightwing /Speedy fan. Nightwing / Cyborg could be interesting 'vibrating dick!' Oh the puns! I'm not porn, I'm erotica; implied stuff, innuendo, humour, sensuality. Dick positions and dirty words used outside an occasional dirty talk reference- I just kind of... Y'know, instead of giving you a whole 'Treatise of Willow & Fictional Sex'; maybe I should just shut up and say Gen.PS: Stubborness says to say that I don't enjoy references to the PIC (Porno Industrial Complex), where there's a focus on degradation and shock. To the point when even people are trying to be sex positive, it feels more sex permissive with too many echoes, objectifying references, cliches and call-backs to heavily narrowed tropes for me to ignore. Just so you know.

Amanda and Dick do work within the same sphere once in a while, when we are in a continuity where Nightwing is a member of the Outsiders. Amanda calls in a favour when she catches sight of a Supervillain, and she and Dick end up chasing him down. Well, mostly Dick chases him down, although she helps ride herd.
Once he's safely ensconced, Amanda and Dick end up having early breakfast in one of those cliche American greasy dinners, which is a type of food both enjoy. You might wonder how Nightwing and Amanda Waller deal with small talk; they don't. Amanda quizzes him on how his long term world saving goals are working out, and when Dick turns the question back on her, Amanda goes >:)
The choice in title was because it's set in New York City, and I think I am funny! Except I ended up getting confused, because Metropolis is kind of a stand in for NYC, and also *Gotham* is kind of a stand in for NYC. So I was trying to be a bit meta, but I don't actually *know* anything about NYC so it fell flat all around.
I liked the conversation bits, though!
-
"Oh," otoh, is short and light on description. It's about the time Dick gives Tim a talk - complete with helpful slides! Tim likes slides, right? - on the subject of "It's okay to be gay!"
By the end of it, he's convinced *himself*.
