[DC] Winter Dark

Title: Winter Dark
Character: Helena
Warning: gore, I think.
Rating: PG-13
Summary: In the winter of No Man’s Land, the Huntress is more of a watchdog.
Notes: for the Halloween comment thing prompt “Gotham devours all its children”, also known as “the best prompt ever”. I think this theme needs a specific tag.

( It’s deep in the midst of winter and No Man’s Land that Helena gives up. )

[DC] Wake me up

Title: Wake me up
Character: Renée

Summary: No need for a shrink to tell her what her dreams mean.
Notes: for the prompt “Gotham devours all its children”. Spoilers for Gotham Central and Pipeline. etrangere, feel free to eviscerate me if I did too badly. D:

( Nightmares are nothing new, on the whole. )

[DC] Pathetic Fallacy

Title: Pathetic Fallacy
Character: Gotham
Rating: G
Summary: Waiting for the storm.
Notes: for the Halloween comment thing prompt “Gotham devours all its children”. I did say it was 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.

[DC] Morale, chum

Title: Morale, chum
Character: Tim, Bruce
Rating: G
Summary: You let Barbara choose our costumes.
Notes: for the Halloween comment thing prompt “Batman and Robin dressed at each other”. I produced this.

( This was less awkward when we’d switched ages. )
