This is just an Authors Note (with previews!)

I am really, really, really sorry about the lack of updates for both Smitten and Tables Turned. I have recently lost the use of my laptop, which should be fixed very soon AND I have started a new job which has caused a lot of chaos for the last week or so. But with the new job mean I now have income which means I can fix my laptop!

So again, I am very sorry BUT I bring an olive branch! A preview of Smitten and Tables Turned as well as a new fic I will start when Tabled Turned is finished (which is soon by the way only about 5 more chapters to go!)

Just to let you know that Smitten and Tables Turned have been updated with the same authors note!

I am not sure if that violates the ToS but I don't plan on keeping them there for very long at all, I don't want to get in trouble—I just want to explain .

So here we go!

Tables Turned

Alfred always had paid close attention do Dick, from the shadows and out of the boy's peripheral vision. Usually to keep Bruce informed and, let's face it; Bruce hardly has time for the boy so who else will watch over his ward and guide him. Right now Alfred watched from the small crack in the doorway, he was on his bed, constantly watching his phone and laptop—expecting a reply from the red haired boy he had met for the first time a few days ago, when Wally had dropped Dick off.

The old butler could tell, see it in Richards face, that the ward of Bruce Wayne was absolutely smitten with the older boy. And from the red head; Lingering glances, small smiles and hugs that lasted a bit too long—obvious sinner conflict. That intrigued Alfred and enamored his young master. But now it would seem that Wally was ignoring Dick for the past few days.

Alfred stepped into the room, revealing himself. He caught Dick's attention; said boy glanced at him and quickly closed his laptop.

"Hey, Alfred." He said in a less chipper tone that he usually spoke in. Alfred walked in the room, carefully carrying a silver tray full of snacks.

"Is there something bothering you Master Richard?" He inquired; gray eyebrow arched as he set down the tray and took a seat at the foot of the bed. Richard grabbed a celery stick and sat next to the butler.

THAT'S IT! It's only a preview after all. It's still a work in progress and I'll work on it whenever I can since I only have my desktop to work at (I'm and school and, now, work all the time so I'm barely home). Now on to the next preview!

Smitten

Robin stood at complete attention behind Batman as the cape crusader worked at his computer. The large monitor showing one of the many, many pictures of Dick Grayson and Wally West that had flooded the internet. The Dark Knight stared hard at the images and he sighed, Robin gulped.

"Dick…" He started, turning around to face his partner, his ward. "I really, sincerely hope I'm not going to find out about all your relationships through some second rate talk show am I?"

"Uh—" Robin started, fully prepared to defend himself but…

"I don't want to hear it."…was cut off. If anything he stood straighter. Batman's tone was becoming closer and closer to the voice he used in his interrogations with underworld runners. "If I'm not mistaken we had a long, extensive conversation on how you weren't going to be in anymore relationships for the time being so you can concentrate on training and school. When did you even meet him?" He gestured towards the picture which was making Dick more uncomfortable by the second.

"Five days ago…" His voice was uncertain—half because he's embarrassed and the other half is because he isn't sure if that was a rhetorical question. Batman's eyes narrow.

"Less than a week? Richard I—" He paused then removed his cowl. His face softened. "Dick, I'm just trying to protect you. You know nothing about this boy; you have so much on your plate already with school, patrol and the team."

"Batman—dad! Please..." Yeah, he was pulling out the dad card. It always managed to pull at Bruce's heart strings. "His name is Wally and I…I really like him. I want to give this a chance and make it work."

"Like your last relationship?" It's a low blow and Bruce knows it. Richard started it though.

"If I remember correctly you set me up on that first date with some pompous douchebag I had met in passing at a party because you think my public image needed "work"."

Bruce opened his mouth to present a new argument but…

"And that's not all! How many times have you had relationships that you wanted to try and make work despite all the things that you need to do? Need I remind you of Selina?"…it was his turn to be cut off.

There you have it! That's the end of that preview. As with the other one I am working on it as much as I possibly can with the little time I have at the moment. When I get my laptop up and running once again I will be able to write from school and Work (when I'm on lunch of course) I will try and get it up as soon as possible.

Also, just to let you, the reader, know—these previews are subject to change if I can think of a better way to write them. For now, however this is what I have to offer for Tables Turned and Smitten.

NOW! For the preview of my new fic, which is also birdflash!

Birds of a Feather

Summary: Wally has fallen head over heels with Robin, and Robin returns his feelings. That, however, wasn't the hard part. The hard part is getting permission to date Robin…and for that he's going to have to ask all three of his very dangerous and extremely protective older brothers. ROBIN REVERSAL! (Damian is the oldest, followed by Tim, then Jason and last is Dick.) I can't say that this idea is completely mine. I found two extremely interesting Fics with Robin reversal (No, the plot isn't the same as theirs) but I liked the idea so much I'm giving it a shot. When I put the actual fic up I'll list the fics that I found. I can't remember them at the moment.

Alfred was in the study, as he always was on slow Sunday afternoons such as this one. Well, he couldn't really say it was a slow Sunday afternoon since all four of his master's wards were home at the same time…which always meant chaos and above that, noise.

"Alfred!" A shrill cry comes from down the fall. Alfred sighs and sets down the book he was reading, still only in the first chapter due to many, many interruption. Titus looks up at him from the oak floor and gives Alfred his most sympathetic look.

They gray haired butler cautiously walks to the entranceway and peeks his head out. There he sees the young Master Dick running at full speed toward him. "Alfred! Help! The demon is chasing me!"

A pair of bola shoots out from the shadows and wraps around the boys legs. Richard promptly falls on his face. "The old man can't help you this time, you little brat." Alfred peers down into the almost infinite darkness the old manor seems to create and spots a pair of white eyes glaring.

"Do try to not damage Master Richard too much Master Damian. I believe Master Bruce wishes to take him out on patrol tonight." The harsh glare is then directed at him and he hears a sinister-

"No promises."

-and Richard is dragged back into the shadows he had come sprinting out of.

"Alfred!" He cries out as the shadows engulf his body and is carried off out of ear shot. Alfred heaves a sigh and smiles fondly before returning to his book. The old manor was always more lively when they were all under the same roof.

And voila! There you go. That one has been rattling up in my head for months now. And now that Tables Turned is halfway done I can work on the details so it can be ready! There is another plot I'm thinking about doing but I'm going to wait till Smitten is complete for that one.

See you guys, hopefully very soon with new chapters!
