Description:

A progressive series of drabbles set during the years following TDK.

"Crime-fighting is magnetic, all-consuming in a ‘can’t look away from a train wreck’ way. It’s the arduous kind of work that leaves Jim hundreds of miles from his family. It’s work that’s left Wayne homeless, broken, and bloodied; thankless work that put Gordon’s police force at the mercy of debonair corporate sponsors.

Retirement for Jim and Batman is more nightmare than dream. There’s no such thing as one last time for them. Bruce Wayne doesn’t have the wherewithal for ordinary life and Jim Gordon isn’t a man who can leave a job half-done.

Their success metric: another night alive, together."

Notes:

1: A Perpetual Leap: Batman & Jim, an introduction.
2: And Countless Shadows: Batman & Jim, a bedroom slice.
3: Below Their World: ordinary moments, Batman & Commissioner Gordon.
4: Three Dear Men: Billionaire v. Superhero; the tug of war for Jim’s attention.
5: James and Bruce: another introduction, James & Bruce.
6: The Post-it Narrative: Jim & Bruce Wayne, a flirtation masking the “what are we conversation?”
7: Imaginary Goodbye Stories: Gordon & Wayne/Batman: all the ruin, none of the consequence. No such thing as dead billionaires, or anti-heroes.
