Summary
Working at a convenience store in Gotham City is a thankless and often dangerous job. Especially if you are working the graveyard shift.
You quite liked your brief stint at the Circle K in Keystone City, if only because the Flash could be found taking care of crime before they even happened. Plus, your store was the one he frequented the most for snacks and drinks to replenish his energy.
Even if your friends, Steph and Tim, don’t actually believe that he visited you and in fact said you two were friends. (No, seriously, he did!)
But a surprise visit from him with Red Robin in tow, a pointed insult to the Bats’ general hostility and unwelcoming nature, and suddenly, you have a revolving door of vigilantes at odd hours of the night.
Your most frequent visitor and the one that bothers you for a reason you can’t articulate since it also coincides with Tim Drake’s sudden avoidance of you?
Red Robin.
But it’s probably nothing, right?

Summary
Living in Gotham City is always unpredictable.
However, the stakes that you face are not vengeful rogues or trigger-happy clowns, but rather the mystifying case of a cute guy... experimenting with his laundry? And not, like, some Joker type experiment but... a genuine experiment with a rotating list of detergent types. Maybe which one works best? Maybe he just has no idea how to do his laundry? Who knows?
You should leave it alone. You should leave him alone.
Obviously, this does not happen, and you somehow end up friends with Tim Drake.
For you, chronically lonely for the last few years, this is great. Good. Awesome.
For the feelings that grow inside you that are decidedly not platonic?
Not great.
But... nothing is impossible. Especially here in Gotham City.

Summary
After the death of your boyfriend, Jason Todd, your life has never been the same. You abandon everything you've ever known: your job working for Batman as a detective, your home, your friends. That is until three years after his death, your life is saved by a mysterious vigilante calling himself the Red Hood.
You assume it was a one-off; that the infamous anti-hero just happened to be in the right place at the right time. But you're finding his calling card everywhere. He's around every single corner―you can't seem to get rid of him. The mystery of his identity brings you back to Bruce in hopes of finding out who he is. But as intimidating as the Red Hood is, with his blurry morals and all, you can't help but find yourself falling for him. Maybe he's the answer to your loneliness.

Summary
There are colours to grief. Sorrow is red and blue and violet, and everything in between. You can wear it like clothes, watch as it draws the eye and shuts the mouth. You can look through it like glass and see the world unfold. You can paint with it, stories and songs cradled in the empty space between your ribs.
You can breathe it in, but you can’t breathe it out.
Once you invite it in, it never leaves.
An exploration of grief after Chrome loses the Commandant.
