Summary: A murder mystery at Smallville High drives Kon to brush up on his detective skills – and his undercover work. He might need to call in some help. Good thing his best friend is an expert at both.





Continuity: This story was conceived and begun between the release of Red Robin #1 and Adventure Comics #1. Some canon after that point was taken into effect, but most was ignored. Consider it AU from that point.

Acknowledgments: The art in this story was done by the glorious and wonderful sammage_art , and I am forever in her debt. I'm also eternally grateful to faile_neume and kirax2 for beta, cheerleading, and hand-holding far above and beyond the call of duty. I can't possibly express how indebted I am for all their help, and how glad I am to have them both as friends (and if you happen to notice their names in the story - it's not a coincidence).

And go tell sammage_art you love her pictures!

Because sammage_art is wonderful and amazing, she drew me a beautiful illustration of a particular scene in chapter 11 of Close to Home. Not only is the picture spoilery for the story, it won't make any sense if you don't read the story first.

It's so lovely, though. I think it was worth all the drama and anxiety that came with writing this fic, just to get a present like this! Thank you so much Sam!
