Summary
It's never easy. It's never without obstacles. It's never a fight they can win. But Gotham has never been content to leave the dead without justice. And J'onn, though he's shattered and splintered and exhausted, isn't willing either. Hope might be a little much to ask for. But they will build some regardless.

Summary
After J'onn and Batman and the Gotham contingent leave, Hal makes his escape out onto the roof, and from there up into the lonely emptiness of the sky, to take a minute and get himself together. He fucked that up. He knows he did, and he knows why. But apparently he needs to talk himself through it anyway, so he can stop fucking up.
(Hal might be his own worst enemy, here. But fortunately he also has friends).

Summary
“Eighteen years ago, an earthquake ripped through Gotham City, and in the aftermath, instead of helping, the US government sealed the city under a ‘quarantine’ and left them to die. Two years later, when signs of life and even civilisation were still detectable inside the shattered city, the government sent the military in to reclaim and rehabilitate Gotham. Gotham has not forgotten, and they have not forgiven either.”
An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland.

Summary
Set in mid-to-late 1920s, during the Prohibition Era, in New York City, with reference to Atlantic City and New Jersey.
Tony Stark, heir to one of the oldest, richest and most corrupt families in New York, is almost murdered, and takes a turn as a bootlegger and crime boss as a result. These are the ripples out from that choice across an ensemble cast, and one very particular turf war in late 20s New York.

JARVIS by icarus_chained

03 Mar 2013
Summary
Overarching story dealing with Tony and JARVIS' (and the other AIs) relationship, and how it expands out to the rest of the Avengers over time.
Divided out into subseries: Reasons Why is the Rhodey & JARVIS, post-IM2 prequel. Then Deus Ex (complete), and continuing in Creation-Connection (ongoing). Threads Woven Through is more of a potential future, not necessarily a direct sequel.
