I'm pretty sure that Krypto in the Young Justice universe is named Wolf, and I think Grayven killed it in his timeline?

They aren't sleeping together as yet.
I did think about what their first time would be like, and I decided that since what the Renegade finds attractive about Luna is her personality rather than her appearence that he'd probably struggle to get an erection at the start.
Thank you, corrected.

Miami Vice called. They don't want their style back because it was dumb the first time around.
They can compromise. Him in pony form, her in human form, so they each find the other sexy.
Plus it lets him do the "hung like a horse" puns, and you know he will.

That's simultaneously obvious and brilliant.
When one said "how do a pony and a human have sex", it did not occur to me that turning them into a human and a pony would improve the situation.

Have you not been to Tijuana, or watched Kinky Kelly and the Sexy Stud?
We need a time machine so we can go back and shoot whoever first wrote Bennifer, in the fucking face. With bullets, until they die.

Both be (winged, horned) centaurs? Then, each focus on the bits of the other they find attractive?
Every time I see one of those mangled names my brain goes "Yer what???", so, while I can't condone the violence I can see why you're annoyed.
Name are hard enough to wrangle, for some, without you inflicting extra pain on them...

No, Krypto exists in YJ.
When someone suggested naming Wolf Krypto, Miss Martian replies that name is already taken.
The common wisdom is that Wolf is YJ's answer to Rex the Wonder Dog, Rex being a very intelligent dog that was given a supersoldier serum ala Captain America.

I remember that in Life Ore Death Supes had Krypto as a pet and used him to pretend to be a blind man with a seeing eye dog.
Krypto apparently was like Icon, in that he looked a whole lot more alien when he came to Earth, but after landing there his ship changed him to look like an Earth dog.

So...
...If this movie exists on Earth 16 then I bet this scene is going to get a LOT of views if renegades dating of a horse becomes known.

"'Pony', not 'horse'."
You know, combining the Mirror and a boom/hush tube could do great things for the porn industry.
Does make you wonder, though, if Joe Public goes through the Mirror whatever comes out the other end isn't likely to be terribly magical...
Going the other way, you might want to imagine Discord in a London pub chatting to someone we don't get to see, that he calls 'John'...

"What's your favorite book?"
I.. frown slightly. Leonard generally doesn't bother with personal questions, and… He doesn't respond all that well if I try asking them. But it's not as if it's a security risk.
"Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett."
He looks away pensively.
"Second favorite?"
"Night Watch, also by Terry Pratchett."
"He your favorite author?"
"Yes. Um, if you're interested… I'm sorry, but he doesn't exist in this reality, and I've only ever been able to do a ninety six percent recreation of Small Gods…"
"No, it's… Something Wizard said."
"Wiz-?"
If Wizard's out then I need to speak to John-.
"Weather Wizard, not.. whoever you were thinking of."
"William Zard. He operates under the name 'Wizard' and he was one of the people responsible for Roanoke Island."
Leonard looks right at me, his eyes widening slightly. "Shit. Yeah, not him. I never even heard of him."
"You might want to suggest to Mister Mardon that he consider a different abbreviation. If the police hear someone call him 'Wizard', they might just shoot first without checking."
"See, this was what he was talking about. You just gave me advice to give him so he doesn't get killed because the cops thought he was someone else."
"Okay?"
"Do you have people..? Superheroes, who are total psychos?"
"I… Generally wouldn't call people like that 'superheroes'. I mean… There was The Reaper in Gotham. That was after Green Lantern One left but before Batman started working there. He murdered.. quite a lot of people. Quite a lot of them had it coming…" I frown. "Do you actually know anything about Gotham?"
"Everyone who lives there is crazy."
"Hey, I live-. Yeah, okay."
"I went to Gotham once, 'cause Mister Freeze had some equipment I needed. Never went back again."
"Right, but the city's history?"
"Used to be an alright place, then manufacturing jobs left and crime went up." My surprise clearly shows on my face. "What? I go to Kadabra's lectures."
"Sorry, sorry, I know you're intelligent, I just didn't think you were interested in that sort of thing."
"No point robbing someone with no money."
I give him a mildly disappointed look, to which he responds with a small smile.
"What? There isn't."
"So the Reaper… The place had gone to pot. The mob owned the police, the politicians and the judges. So the Reaper decided to kill them all."
His smile grows slightly. "Didn't do a very good job."
"There were a lot of them. He killed quite a few of them, then got too badly injured to carry on. By the time he was fighting fit again, Batman was in his second year and the police were starting to get straightened out. But he didn't care and went right back to murdering. Two honest policemen killed and several injured, Batman decided that the only way to keep the death toll down was to make a deal with the mobs-"
"What?"
"-for information."
"No, no, you can't just drop something like that and keep talking."
"What? Batman hated them, but the Reaper killed a lot of people in a short space of time. He thought that with their help he could deal with the Reaper in a few weeks, but that the mobs would be a long term problem whatever he did."
"And given that Batman's still around and the Reaper isn't, I can guess how it went."
"The Reaper's motives were a lot like Batman's. And his aims were too. But his methods weren't. If he'd been a little more discerning… I mean, Gotham was pretty bad. But the moment he killed honest police officers escorting a criminal they already had in custody, no one thought he was a superhero. He was just another serial killer."
"But a supervillain's a supervillain."
"I'd.. encourage you not to think about it in such binary terms."
He leans back in his chair and waves his right hand. "I mean, the more violent a superhero is, the less heroic they are. But for a supervillain, the more violent you are, the more villainous you are."
"That's… Surprisingly philosophical. What brought this on?"
"The day after I told you Luthor offered me a job, I started getting letters. WayneTech, KordTech, a few other places…"
"Mister Luthor may not be Alva, but I'd still be much happier with you working somewhere else. Almost anywhere else, in fact. It would be like putting a bottle of whiskey down next to an alcoholic."
A reference to his father usually gets a scowl out of him, but he just looks away again.
"It's about class."
"In what sense?"
"When I thought about what sort of supervillain I wanted to be. When I started out." He shakes his head. "I know Doc Quinzel wants me to say I'm lashing out at society 'cause I want to lash out at my dad, and… Yeah, she's probably.. not wrong. But you don't tell yourself.. you're stealing from innocent people 'cause you can. You… Dress it up in your own head, too. Like, there was a story about one of the banks in Central City foreclosing on a whole lot of mortgages. I think.. one of the car factories closed and put a lot of people out of work." He shrugs. "So I robbed their vault. I didn't do it because they foreclosed; I don't know anyone who got a loan from them. I did it because… The fact they did that made it okay. They were bad, so… If I make their lives harder, so what?"
He smiles.
"If I shot some security guy dead when I was robbing a place, that's murder. And if I shot a psycho like Joker dead, it's still murder, but…"
"But he has it coming, so it's easier to tell yourself that's why you did it. You don't have to internalise 'I'm a guy who will kill anyone to get his way'."
"Yeah. Wiz-. Mark said something like that, once. 'Ask someone what their favorite book is'. 'cause… Anyone who's read a book has a favorite book, even if they don't like it much." He shrugs. "Right? And it's not like it's a big secret or anything. The only reason not to tell someone is if you've literally never read a book, or you're such a total psycho that you can't… Have a conversation without turning it into a fight."
"And I don't think I'm that person. I know I never wanted to be. But I also know I can't tell you what my favorite book is."

Pact, by Wildbow. If the selection is limited to dead tree format, then Chainer's Torment by Scott McGough.
That being said, nice to see a moment of personal growth from one of Paul's reform projects... and that Lex is getting denied esoteric cryotechnology.

I mean... I won't start a fight over it, but unless it's someone I somewhat know, I'll usually think "Why in the world are you asking me this?" "Are you trying to figure out my account security question for something?" and say something like "I like comedy books like Terry Pratchett's but I can't think of a favorite one." or something.

I can't comment on Pact, but... I mean, yes, it was the best of a bad bunch of post-Weatherlight books, but 'Novels and Storylines' on the WotC board got renamed 'Storylines' and the whole forum got banned from talking about them for a reason.

I honestly couldn't say, because there are so many books that I just enjoy a lot, without there being a clear favourite. Probably Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett, though I haven't read it in two decades.

Oh. That was very sad. Poor Leo.
I also have trouble identifying my favourite book cause there are so many great ones.
Terry Pratchet is my favourite author overall though, I would say. With Charles Stross and David Brin close seconds.
Anyway, good to see Paul help a villain again. The philosophical, pragmatic discussions are a huge draw of this fic.

I'd be inclined to disagree with this...
More, if you ask the question 'what's your favourite book' the answer you get may well tell you interesting things about the person questioned.
Speaking for myself, I can't sensibly answer the question. I've read a lot of books, dead tree and electronic, at least thousands, but, how would I work out which is my favourite?
Does that make me indecisive, 'complex', or something like terminally confused?
I will admit to being curious why Mr Snart can't answer the question... He feels he's too fractured/broken?
I'll admit it was fun chatting to TerryP, about ideas, in a bar in the UK, in the 1990s... There are advantages to attending science fiction conventions...

Indecisive with an imperfect memory so that you can't judge them all side by side? Also a psycho.Does that make me indecisive, 'complex', or something like terminally confused?
However, I'm inclined to believe that he's just being extra down on himself, and has conjured a reason to insult himself.

I've been told my memory is 'too good', as I rarely (totally) forget stuff... But, maybe I'll go with 'a bit mad', and try (and likely fail) to forget about the question.
