    Summary

    He opens his eyes in the dim light. The sun hasn’t risen yet, but Sejanus is kneeling at his bedside, his wide brown eyes urgent and imploring. A muddied mix of affection and annoyance washes over him. Can’t Sejanus let him sleep for a few more minutes? Doesn’t he know Coriolanus hasn’t been sleeping well?

    “Coryo, you have to go now. Lucy Gray is waiting for you.”

    It all comes rushing back to him. The jabberjay. The confession. The guns. The murders. Lucy Gray, their plan to run away. The hanging tree — the hanging — Sejanus.

    Sejanus.

    Coriolanus killed his best friend. Sejanus haunts him until the day he dies.

    Can confirm that Red Hood wears a second mask under his hood for some reason. He’s not bald, but he does have awful helmet hair if anyone was wondering why im only giving him four stars

    A Gotham University student launches a forum website for rating the local vigilantes, mainly as a joke. As things tend to do in Gotham, it spirals out of control.

    Summary

    ““Batman. Batsy. Bats. Babe. I need you to stop being a paranoid little freak and take the goddamn pills. Or I’m gonna have to shoot you, and I really don’t want to do that. And I will— shoot you, that is. Only, I won’t shoot-to-kill you. I’ll just watch you bleed out; the place could use some color anyway. So take the fuckin’ Vicodin.”

    Bruce took the Vicodin.”

    Or: the one where Bruce gets hurt because sometimes he just has terrible luck, and Joker is there for him. Even if that's not where Bruce wants him to be.

    Summary

    Summary: Bruce has a conference call with Wayne Enterprises. Having it at the Manor was, in hindsight, a really shitty idea.

    “I don’t have your phone!”

    The two boys began trading hits, yelling at the top of their lungs. Bruce turned back to the webcam just as Damian leapt on top of Tim’s back, a high-pitched battle cry torn from his lips.

    “Mr. Hodges,” he said cheerfully, unflinching as Tim threw Damian into the wet bar sink. “Have you had a chance to examine the chart I pointed out?”

    Inspired by this viral video and Batwayneman’s post on tumblr.

    Summary

    On the morning of my fortieth birthday, I wake up shivering against the morning dew, curled up like a baby on the gray rock of Lenore Dove’s gravestone. I don’t often find myself this far into the woods anymore – torn between my desperation to forget and my need to remember – but when I do, it’s under the haze of rotgut, which has an uncanny ability to draw out the deepest hurts and shove them back into my face once I return to consciousness. Often, I won’t know what pain is haunting me during the daylight hours until I wake up the next morning on Louella’s old doorstep, or the meadow where Lenore Dove raised her geese, or the vacant lot where the Abernathy house used to be. I’m a recluse in the day, only to become a wandering ghost in the night, haunted by the past I’m unable to forget.

    OR

    My take on an epilogue before the epilogue in Sunrise on the Reaping - Haymitch's perspective of witnessing the Reaping for the 74th Hunger Games.

    For those who just finished the book and wanted a bit more of interaction between Haymitch, Katniss, and Peeta: this one's for you. ❤️
