    Summary

    The ruins of the city rose up from the ground like shattered teeth, jagged and splintered, biting into the sky with a stark, alien viciousness. A graveyard disturbed, mired fields of churned up earth and chunks of stony rubble. Craters blasted into the pavement, splinters of broken glass glinting between piles of debris like tiny bastard stars– No stone uncracked, no building untouched.

    Smokey remnants drifted long between the dimming clouds, thick ribbons of lethargic, billowing ash all black and gunmetal gray, exhaling from toppled buildings like a sigh. Or final breath. It settled over the city’s carcass like a shroud. Like the fog that lingers over the road in the early morning. And everywhere, fires simmered dim and glistening– like clumps of hot coals in a bonfire. Banked, it seemed, from several days of burning, their rage already depleted.

    Whatever had happened that night, Amity Park had not gone quietly.

    Summary

    You can't blame psychics for being cryptic but John really wishes this particular conduit for the forces of reality hadn't called in the middle of his Justice League debrief.

    In which DCU characters are faced with the truth about the Hellblazer's very Vertigo life and almost everyone has something to say on the subject of John Constantine.

    Summary

    Ambitious like his father, the media preached as Timothy saved DI from collapse. Clever like his mother, they wrote as Timothy bought up small seemingly unprofitable industries and made them bloom under his company’s care, bringing DI’s stocks back to their former glory within a year. A true son of Gotham, they said as Timothy developed his offices in the city and went above and beyond to pay his workers fair wages. Selfless, they called him as Timothy reduced his own salary to ensure DI would survive these changes, sacrificing his time and dreams to keep the company afloat. Tragic, they all but wrote in every article, unable to keep themselves from rehashing his parents’ deaths.

    At only 19, Tim is one of the youngest CEOs in the world. He’s certainly the youngest CEO of a fortune 200 company.

    And yet, it takes little to make his empire collapse like a house of cards.

    Summary

    i'm afraid
    is this a bunker or a shallow grave?
    either way, I'm left
    holding onto the shovel and rope
    digging in the dirt, finding bones, finding ghosts

    Sometimes, grief has a gravity that you never get up from. And sometimes, it leaves little boys that have glass in their teeth and punch-scraped skin with a hole in their heart and blood in their mouth, and a five-year long taste for vengeance over the murder of their best friend.

    Gotham claws its way into the hearts of its children and leaves oil-smears on their souls, and for Danny Fenton, he is no different and no better than the rest of his fellow street rats of Crime Alley. It doesn't matter if he's been gone since he was eleven. Blood has always been a part of him, so it's second nature for him to pick up his fists and turn them into claws. It's what he's been taught, after all.

    And what he's also been taught, is that arrogance kills, and the Joker has been long since due for his fill.

    What's one more death in Gotham's long list of them?

    Summary

    By now, it’s the last week of September. The leaves are turning. The weather’s changing. In a scant few days, the calendar will tick over into October, and the polite veil, waiting for its cue, will stretch sheer. The Realms will press its so-many faces to the divide. And death will seep through, as before.

    “Are you scared?”

    “Yes. No. Both, I—I made the decision already, you know? Fear doesn’t even factor into it now.”

    “Couldn’t you—” Sam starts, but catches herself.

    Couldn’t you change your mind? No. Not really—not without giving something else up. And Danny doesn’t really want to, besides.

    There are just a few short days left before the first of October, when the veil runs thin. Danny is taking care to spend quality time with the people he loves. The people he loves are taking care to spend quality time with him. No one is talking about something, and everyone is tripping over it in their attempts to avoid.

    There are just a few short days left. There is a choice that has already been made.

    Something is about to end.

    For now, these fics aren’t explicitly connected, but could be if I actually bothered to make the continuity flow better. As-is, this is just where I’m gonna keep all my DP fics that take place in roughly the same universe.

    Danny wasn't a ghost, at least, not a ghost pretending to be their child. He was... he was still their child.

    He was just, wrong.

    Summary

    Red Hood kept his distance from the Bats. They had something akin to a truce, but they always maintained a healthy level of mutual wariness and animosity. None of them knew him, not in any way that mattered, and he was content keeping things that way.

    Unfortunately, secrets had a way of coming to light.

    Summary

    There was a familiar click-hiss, and Red Hood pulled his helmet off.
    “You’re an imposter,” Grey said coolly, his eyes flickering to the rearview mirror.
    “My actual brother,” Boss drawled, then, to the fake Red Hood, “Your hair stripe is coming out.”
    — — —
    Or: Red Hood’s gang, Red Hood’s family, and Jason Todd’s headache that comes and goes. …oh, here it comes again.

    Summary

    Therapy isn't working out for Tim (possibly because he has like, way too many issues), so Dinah suggests he try music therapy instead. This turns out to be such a good idea he drafts it to his team and suddenly he's moonlighting as a rock singer in a band that's rising in popularity. Maintaining a new "secret" identity is easy enough, and he's having a lot of fun!

    Unfortunately for Tim, it seems he's a bit TOO good at the secret identity thing, because his family doesn't seem to realize that it's him.

    Ugh, this is just proving his point.

    Summary

    Tim Drake did it - he brought Bruce home, and now things can go back to the way they were.

    Or so he thought.

    Tim has a duty he swore to follow through on, and even though his Masters don't know his face, he's going to make them proud.

    Summary

    The first time he realizes he lacks autonomy he doesn’t know what the word means. Timothy Drake is six years old, and his mother dresses him up in a too tight suit. Her nails drag through his hair, forcing it into something presentable. And he spends the next four hours smiling and charming the elite at a Gala.

    It is not a particularly harsh punishment, not an utter violation of who he is, but that doesn’t matter. Because Tim will look back on that night four, six, ten years later and all he will remember is having a near panic attack in the car because the suit hurt, because it was too tight and rough, and people were touching his hair and pinching his cheeks and he hated it, and they wouldn’t stop and -

    His mother had cupped his face, her fingernails digging into his baby fat, and she told him to shut his mouth and bear it.

    -

    (Or Tim has a more complicated relationship with his autonomy, consent and gender. Not much changes.)

    Summary

    “Then why the fuck did you flinch away from me? Tim you don't need to protect me, if you're still uncomfortable at being around me then I should know, hell, B and N should know!"

    "This isn't about you!" Tim rarely ever raised his voice like this, but Jason just wasn't listening, no matter what Tim said and Tim needed him to just listen.

    "Well, who the fuck is it about then?"

    "Ra's!"


    Tim flinches away from Jason when he accidentally startles him. Jason thinks Tim is still scared of him, but the truth is much darker.

    Summary

    "Odysseus was clever, but his vanity and ego would have killed him long before his return home if not for his wife.”

    “Penelope?” Tim asked.

    “Exactly, child, Penelope," his nanny smiled. "The men of Ancient Greece would have you believe that she was idle, waiting for her husband to come home and solve her problems, but this is far from the truth. For routine and ritual are not powerless things. In pouring her love for her son and husband into her weaving, she called out to the goddesses Hestia and Hera. Despite never lifting a finger in violence herself, Penelope saved her family.”
    --
    Tim finds that there are more ways to protect the Bats than just Robin. A little magic never hurt anyone, after all.

    Summary

    This is a sequel to the previous work in the series, Premeditation, that runs concurrent to that fic for the first couple chapters.

    Jason Todd knows Gotham - it's in his bones, in the air of his lungs, in the muscle memory he uses to carry him home at the end of a long night.

    The Joker has been part of Gotham for a long time. Jason grew up with that. Jason died by that. Every moment of his rebirth, he's known that his once-murder is out there. A threat, even when the monster is caged.

    ... Who is Jason Todd, then, when that threat is ... gone?

    (He'll never be what he was, what he could have been - but sometimes... sometimes, you have to lay those old dreams to rest, and accept that ghosts aren't always bad things to have around...)
