    Summary

    For Mycroft, the most jarring thing about V-day isn’t that it happened. It’s that he did not see it coming.

    Summary

    A series of stories in which Colby reclaims himself, builds his relationship with truth, with David, with the team, and with Charlie. It takes over 200,000 words, but eventually Ian becomes a romantic partner.

    Items of interest: Inappropriate betting, a lot of surfing, plenty of time in the Eppes garage, the phone always rings at the worst times, Alan cooks a lot, and eventually chess is a thing. Therapy happens, and brothers, and there is so much personal growth the story is almost a forest. Ian is confused, Colby has grace.

    The comments are full of long, meandering, wonderful discussions, if that's your jam. :D

    Series is not complete but can be read as done--no cliffhangers as of part eighteen. Still being updated, but slowly.

    Summary

    So, it didn’t start out like this.

     

    Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

     

    So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

     

    It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

    “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

    --

    A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.
