I have three tons of snippets on my hard drive that are never going to make it to the stage of fic.

Give me a DC character and I'll post one of these snippets. A character can be requested several times.

You betcha got stuff with Steph. This was the second DCU thing I wrote, and iirc I never posted it.

You see Gotham in the oddest places. There should be nothing similar between it and Africa – after all, that's the reason you came, innit. If you'd only wanted to leave the life or get better there are a thousand places you could've chosen. You're glad you're here – you didn't see much out of the city before your disappearing act, that's for sure, and now every day is different.

Different from the city. Not that much from each other, at least not compared to what you're used to. And you're healing and learning to heal and you think you might be doing good anyway, even if you stayed here for your whole life – the new one – and never went back again.

But you're not sure you're going to be able to do that. Not as long as the phrase “the city” means Gotham, and not as long as you automatically edit the phrase to spell it with caps starting both words, “The City”, and that's how you've been thinking of it since you were born.

You're not sure how you could make it change. You're not sure you'd want to. It's still easier to sleep through the day than it is to stay in bed all night.

You dream of birds and eggplant.
