Jud’s past. Starting from the day that he kills the man in the boxing ring at seventeen.

Sweat drips from his forehead.Blood drips from his hands.
Bare knuckles, bruised and cracked.
Not all the blood is his.

Memories Swirl Up and Collide by Rat (Very_Tall_Rodent)

Summary
This is little moments from the movie where I want, ‘wow I wonder how Juds alluded to previous life impacts how he thinks and feels in these scenes. It must really suck’ and then I wrote all that down.
—————
Jud feels the fist of Monsignor Wicks collide with his stomach.
“You’re angry, you should be. It’d be dangerois if you weren’t,”
The Monsignor is speaking to him. He knows that, but it’s not just the Monsignor’s fist he feels. It’s his first fight in the ring, and it’s the fist of his father, and it’s the fist of the man he killed in the ring. It’s hard to keep straight whose fist it is because in the moment Jud’s mind remembers a hundred hits just like this one.

Summary
Another one of my food themed works. This one Barbara focused.
Chapter one: Teenage Barbara and her dad hang out for once and actually talk to each other
Inspired by Batgirl: year one. But knowledge of the comic isn’t needed to read this fic. I just like that comic a lot

Fandom Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, Batman Unburied (Podcast)

Summary
All these stories follow the same format.
A favorite food of our character is introduced. We get a look at the first time they had that food (then) and a later in life look at them with that same food (now)
Through the food the character and the characters relationships with other people in their life are explored.
Each story is in the same larger universe. But there is no overarching plot so you can pick and choose what you read without missing important details

Different stories Same universe by Rat (Very_Tall_Rodent)
Fandom Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, Batman Unburied (Podcast), The Riddler: Secrets In The Dark (Podcast)
29 Jul 2024
Summary
All these stories take place in the same timeline/universe but they don’t build on each other in a way that means you have to read all of them or read them in order.
But here’s a timeline anyway
“What Am I” takes place mid episode 5 of “The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark”“What Are We” is set around few months after “The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark” and has Eddie Bruce and Barbara in the beginning of an agreement that Eddie will help them solve cases in return for a vacation of sorts from Arkham
“A Fickle Thing (Trust)” is a few months after “What Are We”

Summary
Jud probably should have seen this coming. Eve’s Apple is worth millions, after all. People will do a lot of unseemly things for that amount of money and beating a priest in church on the sabbath is far from the worst of them.

Summary
After eighteen months of mutual pining (which they each believe is unrequited) Jud and Blanc find themselves snowed in at the Thrombey Mansion. Add in a treasure hunt, hallucinogens, and the return of old ghosts and who can say what truths will be uncovered?
A "They-Go-Upstate-and-Do-Drugs" Variation
And I can finally say that the smut starts in Chapter 13. Look, we've all started a slow burn and been like, "Yea...but how slow, yo?" Or is that just me?

Summary
To those who don’t know any better, Concordia, Georgia is just a town.
A quaint little town, with quaint little people, just a bit far down the road for folks to visit on the regular. It has its own school, has its own hospital, even has its own movie theater. It looks picture-perfect from the outside, and those from out of town never hear otherwise about it.
But Din Djarin knows otherwise.
He would rather die than go back.Series

A silly prank between the Everdeen-Mellark children and Haymitch has unbeknownst side affects.
A vial of what they think is a bitter Capitol era drink leaves Haymitch sixteen and terrified, stuck at the moment that he became a victor.
Katniss finds herself a reluctant caretaker of the semi feral teenager, wrangling her own demons as they unwrap the tragedy that makes up her old mentor.
