Halloween comment fic thing

[runespoor]

It's Halloween. Bats are scary, Gotham is a nightmare, good guys blanch when they enter Arkham, villains tell each other Joker stories to scare one another, and criminals are a supertitious and cowardly lot.

Let's do a Gotham-centric comment fic fest stuff. About Halloween or fear or things like that. *handwave-y* Or, you know, not Gotham-based. Wendy the Werewolf Stalker is cool, it's just that this being me, Gotham-creepy is much more likely to ping me.

Rules: prompt stuff in the comments. Fill stuff in the comments. Pimp, don't wank, warn for triggery stuff, have fun.

Gotham, G, Pathetic Fallacy

Much closer to what I think the prompt really asks for. I hope you're not tired of me going about this, but I did mean it when I called it the BEST PROMPT EVER.

There’s a whisper in the streets, tonight, and a shiver of unrest among those most concerned. They look at the sky in unease, cops and crooks both. The sickly yellow of the Bat signal flares like a holy symbol on the polluted sky. At various places in the city, some people are breathing a little easier; in Arkham, two of the psychological personnel turn in their resignation letters, and shrieking laughter pursues them out the door.

Nothing’s changed since yesterday, but everything is different. Tonight a Robin will fly through the city for the first time in too long, and everyone can feel it. A couple ushers their child into a darkened street, the street lamp busted while they were at the theatre, hurrying before the rain tears down the clouds, but they can’t silence the child’s laughter, immodest and carefree.

Gotham smiles a bloody smile. She was looking for a proper gift.
