A fanart of Robin holding Raven in chapter 12 of It Only Takes A Moment on ff.net. One of the best Rob/Rae fanfictions out there. Read or die. XD [Link] .

It's one of the best since it isn't a "dark" fic, is basically a collection of one-shots (always good because then they're completed, and I hate uncompleted works left that way), and doesn't automatically hook Robin and Raven up in four chapters or less. Just little moments in time, and if you're not into the Rob/Rae pairing, then you can brush it off as friendship if you so choose. I wouldn't, though. XP

I love the ending in chapter 12. Without giving too much away, basically Robin and Raven are out at night in casual attire and some young kids point out Raven. She instinctively tries to hide herself (without her powers) and Robin puts his arms around her to semi-shield her from view. Here's a clip-out of the fic:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

It came crashing down on her what they might look like. Her arms were folded between their bodies, pressing against his chest as his arms locked behind her back and her head was lowered, as if she were very cold and he were trying to keep off the chill. She hadn't even realized how she had gotten herself into this situation, or noticed it when she pressed against him trying to hide her face from view, but she had unconsciously tucked herself into his arms and now she was being held as close as a lover. The realization ran through her like electricity and Raven was instant movement, tugging back away from him as if she were afraid of being electrocuted.

Surprisingly, Robin held firm, "Shhh..." he said calmly, "They're still staring at you and they'll see your face if you move right now." His voice was a low murmur under the buzz of the crowd around them.

Raven forced herself to be utterly still, but she couldn't do much for the erratic beat of her heart. She felt stupid and ridiculous for reacting the way she had. After all, he was just trying to keep her from being found out. He knew what he was doing, he always did. She forced herself into calm, closing her eyes so that she wasn't staring at his exposed throat as he swallowed and tried to find her center. And as if she had somehow opened a tap, she could feel Robin all around her: she could smell the clean, soapy scent of him like the island after a heavy rain, she could feel his warmth like her warmest blankets when they had been warmed all night with her body heat, she could hear the echo of his heart beat running a little faster than was normal for a calm state.

She had never felt what it was like to be completely engulfed by someone before. Sure, she had been hugged and she had hugged before, she had even hugged Robin before, but this was different. Whereas in a hug, her arms were usually around the person, here, she was completely enfolded by Robin's arms, her own arms pressed tight against his chest and her head cradled under his chin. She was as close to being completely hidden inside his arms as was possible. She had never felt so small before, so...protected.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah. Go read her stuff. My art is a pale afterimage of her work. First time ever drawing a pairing, first time ever drawing Raven, first time ever drawing a girl period, and for that it came out half-decent. There's perhaps fifty things wrong with the antomy and perspective or whatever, but heyla, I like it. See, that is the power of Emania's writing. It is so vivid that even I can draw it. XD
