Summary
After almost a year in Belle Reve, replaying the failure of Ultraman and everyone who worked for him over and over, the solution became obvious: insert more of himself and disregard everyone else.

Summary
Gi-hun knew he was going to die, had accepted his fate, and then it didn't come. One of them had stepped on the button after all. Yet another lucky day followed by the suffocating weight of survival.
As always, the title is taken from a Rene Magritte painting.

Summary
Gi-hun could have done what it took to save himself if he thought that was necessary for the child's survival. In-ho realizes this, and in anticipation of Gi-hun's intention to sacrifice himself, presents his proposal without the full context. No matter the outcome, part of Gi-hun has to die.

Summary
The middle ground between acceptance of the lost cause and an insistence on fighting for a better world anyway is blowing everything up and running away.
Direct continuation of my story Empire of Light from Gi-hun's POV, with a lot less art and philosophy talk and a lot more action. The title (and every chapter title) comes from another Magritte painting.
Series
- Part 2 of Empire of Light

Summary
This was meant to be one maybe 4k word short story, and now... Here we are.
Empire of Light is an exploration of In-ho's character and the way modern art and philosophy play a role in the visual language of the show and overarching themes. Through the final part of that, and the sequel, I explore what In-ho and Gi-hun represent to each other in more depth, and how that dynamic can change as they get to know each other as people.
Unexpected Answer is a more traditional narrative than Empire of Light, and is much less dense, but it is a direct continuation that needs the context of the former.
Completed before the release of S03, but I feel as if S03 retroactively makes it land harder.

various stories specific to New 52 Batman by Vampowerment
Fandom: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, DCU (Comics)

Summary
each story stands on its own. This isn't a proper "series," rather, separate works only connected by how devoted I am to working within the canon of New 52 Batman.
I have ordered them chronologically, but reading order does not matter. If you only read one, make it Primal Cut.

Strange Comradery in Arkham by Vampowerment

Summary
My Arkham story + others in that same universe.
The sequels are chronological and reference prior events, so skipping around could cause mild confusion, but we're all comic fans here. We're used to that. Do what you want.
There's no ongoing plan, only ocassional one-shots that come about when I have ideas I wanna explore. You could consider this complete or ongoing, depending on your metric.- Words:
