Summary
There’s a point passed the pain and the fear and the eventuality of the end; a single moment when everything slows to stop; when the flashes of the years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds that made up your life pull away from you, falling further in the depth while a heavy stillness crawls over you, holding onto you as those moments of the life that was yours to live, to cherish, and to suffer fade into a single flicker. The quiet, the emptiness that follows is almost a comfort as you realize that this is it: all the days lived, the smiles had, and the tears shed, all the hurts and all the joy and this, this single moment of nothingness, is it.
The punchline to the cruel joke that was Jackie Taylor’s life, that all the things she thought were important and the things she dismissed as not amounted to the same in the end.

Another Jackie lives fic, or is it, because I adore her and she deserves so much better... doesn't mean i'm gonna give it to her.

Summary
Another “Jackie lives but at what cost” fic that explores the implications of her survival, mainly living long enough to realise there are worse fates than being gay in New Jersey.
This was inspired by Dexter so take that for the warning it is.

Summary
A post War-Games AU. Leslie Thompkins almost fakes Stephanie Brown's death, but stays true to her compassionate nature and changes her mind. Thus begins Stephanie's slow journey of healing, of recovery, of confronting her trauma and despair, and of finding out who she is in the ruins of it all. Trying to rebuild her relationships and reconnect with the people she loves.
And as those loved ones face their own struggles--from sudden deaths to mysterious returns-- Stephanie being around changes things quite a bit...
Updated with chapter 18! Excerpt:
“Whoever was behind it, they knew Tim was Robin,” Steph whispered. "There's some monster going after the families of vigilantes, the high profile ones, and Tim’s dad was…”
Her mother hissed. “I was wondering if that was it. That poor child. He must feel so awful..."
“It could have been you, Mom,” Steph croaked, unable to stand it any longer. “If I was still Robin, it would have been you.”

Summary
Batman has potentially the most famous rogue's galleries in comics- Joker, Riddler, Two-Face, and so many others... but this story isn't about Batman and his villains- this story is about loveable underdog, Stephanie Brown (don't fact check the loveable part, just trust me) and between her Spoiler days, brief stint as Robin, and her (so far) shockingly successful time as Batgirl, she's developed her own reoccurring villains! Such as gravity, an awkward relationship with the Wayne family, and of course- the consequences of her own actions!
How long can our heroine completely ignore her past and any lasting impacts it may have left on her mental health? If you ask her, she'd say forever! (She's an optimist now.)
Authors Note: Look! I made a real summary; it only took me 29 chapters to do it :)

Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.
