Summary
Bruce Wayne thought he was approving another charity grant. He did not realize he was volunteering for a year-long immersive sociology study on elite moral behavior — inside his own house.
Now there's a researcher watching on-site, cataloguing his daily routine, interviewing his household, and writing down everything he says about "civic legacy" while he's trying to discreetly hide batarangs under the table.
He can’t cancel without triggering a PR crisis. He can’t confess without violating her academic confidentiality. And he definitely can’t let her figure out that his "midnight philanthropy" involves body armor and rooftop combat.
Featuring:
– A Batcave rebranded as a model train exhibit
– Emergency family meetings on “how to act like a normal rich person”
– Alfred being classified as a post-feudal emotional labor relic
– A paper that accidentally psychoanalyzes Batman into oblivionWelcome to the first academic ethnography paper to mistake Bruce Wayne for a case study in late-stage capitalism, and absolutely none for Batman.

Summary
When Bruce Wayne reluctantly agrees to accessorize for the Wayne Foundation Centennial Gala, he expects the worst: gaudy cufflinks, overpriced brooches, and ten velvet trays of social expectations.
What he doesn’t expect?
That the only piece he actually likes — elegant, sharp, hauntingly precise — was designed by her.After years of being scolded by Gotham’s most judgmental bat, the city’s most notorious jewel thief has done the logical thing: gone legit.
Selina Kyle has a new hustle: luxury jewelry design — anonymously, of course.So when her favorite brooding billionaire unknowingly picks her work?
Pays full price for it?
Wears it to a gala?Well. Well. Well.
She could tell him.
Or she could make him suffer in matte platinum — with matching cufflinks.Now, the chase is on — through boutiques, breakrooms, rooftop arguments, and one dangerously intimate brooch.
After all, in Gotham, love is rarely simple.
But it is occasionally diamond-cut pretty.Series
