    One minute, you're helping Jason undress from a night's worth of patrol as Red Hood. The next, you find yourself in a Gotham that you don't recognize, empty and stifling, with only Batman to watch over its deserted streets.

    Only, this Batman had a red helmet.

    Summary

    “The corruption begins with the mouth, the tongue,- the wanting. The first poem in the world is ‘I want to eat’.” — Erica Jong, ‘Where It Begins

    Even if you do not know the many skins he’s shed, or of the numerous lives that were lost because of him- you’ve become quite good at reading him. So good, sometimes he wonders if you know him better than he does himself. And for it, the blame falls on his shoulders alone. He never should've let you get this close and yet- and yet.

    And yet, he has never met anyone like you at all.

    (The four times Gwylan resisted kissing you and the one time he didn’t.)

    A prequel to Foxlore, that could also be read as a standalone.

    Summary

    “You and I are so special; the miracles we know, no one knows, and no one loves the way we love.” — Vladimir Nabokov, in a letter to his wife, Vera

    “We spoke a little,” you muse. “It told me about you. That waiting is never forever. And… and something else. I don’t remember.”

    He looks at you funny. “The moon is that talkative? I never could’ve guessed. Then again, the moon controls the tides and the sea is never quiet.”

    “You’ll need to teach me,” you bump your head against his shoulder. “I only understand their language when I’m sleeping.”

    (In a dream, come your answers for the future.)

    Summary

    “Needle dark December smells. She walks with wonder everywhere.” — Muriel Rukeyser, ‘Christmas Eve

    Truthfully, he almost looks like he’s suppressing a giddy smile from crossing his lips, with limited success. You throw your leg over his, and he buries his face into your hair. He’s warm, threateningly so- perhaps even enough to snuff your last breath- but you can’t bring yourself to care.

    (Gwylan nurses you back to health, as a snowstorm passes.)
