  1. Summary

    Basically, they're as connected as you want them to be, but I'm not making any real effort to establish a working timeline.

  2. Summary

    Started because I wanted nonbinary bisexual Dick Grayson, but now it's just... family fics in general taking place in a nicer, neater timeline where Bruce is still not perfect, but better than what we typically get in canon. It's Dick-centric for now but I have a vague goal of writing fics for more of the family (and friends) at some point.

  5. Summary

    This will be a collection of fics I don't want to actually be canon to my 'What feels right' series, but that still fit in with the basic timeline I've established. #Parallel_Universes

    Summary

    During the Red Hood's infiltration of Gotham, Jason decides to divide and conquer, and sets a trap to take Dick out of the picture as a first lesson to Batman. Things go further than he planned, and he’s left trying to get medical care for a blinded and uncooperative Nightwing without letting his scheme entirely fall apart around him.

    Summary

    Neil gets drugged at Eden's. Again. They get him back quickly, but the parallels fuck with everyone and reveal what happened with Nicky the first time around.

     But Andrew remains flawed, so doesn’t know anything is happening until he hears Nicky gasp. Nicky makes a lot of unnecessary noises, so this one isn’t especially concerning—not until Nicky’s hand flashes out to grip Andrew’s arm and he says, “Andrew,” with such strained urgency that Andrew’s head erupts into a riot of alarms.

     He follows Nicky’s pointed finger and sees, through the thick forest of bodies, Neil. With some guy. Kissing. He’s out of his stool almost before he can consciously register the scene, leaving the scarred black metal toppling to the ground behind him and shoving into the crowd. Something is very wrong. Neil had been too still. Too loose. An unstringed puppet. Andrew knows what Neil looks like when he wants to kiss someone, and that—that isn’t it.

    Summary

    Maybe he’s dead. Maybe he died when Lalo shot him in the head, and this is hell, or purgatory, or something. It would be a fitting fate for him: stuck fighting for his freedom over and over only to be trapped again; killing Salamancas again and again only to be confronted with more of them.

    As far as metaphors for his life go, this is a little on-the-nose.

    Summary

    "I'll kill you," he whispers, struggling half-heartedly in his hold. Their mouths keep coming together, his words uttered around their shared breaths. It makes him feel lost and disoriented, disassembled. It's strange how hazy and surreal everything leading up to this moment had felt, but Lalo kisses him now like he's the only real thing left, and the sensation of falling back into his body is dizzying. All of a sudden he can feel the warmth from the fire and the weave of the couch beneath his fingertips, the scratch of stubble. "I'll kill you."

    "You won't," Lalo says, lazy and slow and supremely confident, and Nacho hates the way he thinks, spoiled Salamanca brat, with no rancour, hates how he feels himself stir in his pants. Lalo smells of clean cotton and tastes of fresh tomatoes and top-shelf whiskey, smoky like the barrel of a gun in his mouth, and Nacho has missed him like a phantom limb.

    But this is, as with everything Salamanca, a power play.

    He pushes him away, and Lalo goes, just barely. It makes him feel bereft. "I should kill you for what you did to my father."
