   Summary

   It’s been six months since Jonathan Crane was arrested and it finally feels like things are calming down. Sure, you still have nightmares you can’t talk about and yes, you’re dating someone who puts his life on the line nightly to keep Gotham somewhat liveable, but things are going okay!

   …Until a certain someone re-enters your life and everything goes to shit.

   Again.
