    Summary

    If you notice anything, it leads you to notice more and more

    The humans talked, throwing bits and things into the passage they called Boatem Hole.
    The humans spoke to It, gentle and curious. They kept It company, called It a friend. It didn’t understand, but something beyond walls and walls of frosted glass and impermeable fog whispered pained and haunted behind It’s eyes with a voice that hurt to dwell on, don’t you remember this?

    Summary

    “What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”

    And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.

    “I want to go to college.”

    And Talia had made that happen for him.

    (AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

    Summary

    “Eighteen years ago, an earthquake ripped through Gotham City, and in the aftermath, instead of helping, the US government sealed the city under a ‘quarantine’ and left them to die. Two years later, when signs of life and even civilisation were still detectable inside the shattered city, the government sent the military in to reclaim and rehabilitate Gotham. Gotham has not forgotten, and they have not forgiven either.”

    An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland.

    Summary

    “Obi-Wan,” Dooku says, “let me put it like this: if you marry Maul, you will have access to the libraries and laboratories of the late Lord Damask. Not all of them, but those that Palpatine saw fit to leave to Maul, and your sex may allow you to access the libraries of the Sisters of the Night nunnery, as the spouse of a man from the Dathomir region.”

    Oh.

    Well.

    That changes things.
