Summary
Gotham is just a city. She has no mind, no soul, no body with which to reach out for her children. But in a split-second flash of time, she is as real as a mother clutching her child, only long enough to let him go.

Or, Tim's many emotions as he re-learns what it's like to have a home.

Summary
He starts digging through the tightly-packed dirt, nails bending, fingers trembling.
He digs and digs and digs, until his hands are more wound than flesh, his fingernails mostly-gone, until he sticks a hand through the dirt and feels water on his open wounds and cries out in pain, in relief, in hope and hope and God.
He kicks his feet. He clamps his hand hard and steady against soaked dirt-grass.
He claws.
He claws, and he gets the fuck up and out of his own damn grave.
or; Jason wakes up after dying and his life only gets more complicated—Gotham is still in the shit, Joker is still alive, there's a new Robin, and the world is changed and he needs to change with it, train to meet up with its new expectations.

Summary
Life sucks when fate deals you the wrong hand of cards: you're trying to avoid your ex, your older brother decides to drop in for an unannounced visit after years of no contact, the vigilante that you've always admired passively is showing an interest in your brother's business, and your mom's trinkets can't seem to get a clue and leave you alone for once.
It's just your luck really.
No need to be familiar with CLAMP works, this will primarily be Batman media-focused with guest appearances from the Clow Cards and crew

Summary
Bruce Wayne wasn’t quite human. He didn’t know what he was, but he knew he wasn’t human. Any adult you ask would tell you that after the boy’s parents were murdered, he gained a timeless air to him. That night changed him, but no one understood how much.

Or: I suck at summaries so this is cryptid Bruce Wayne because I love him a normal amount.

Summary
He doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want to. They aren’t looking for him. They aren’t even crying, his mother is clearly more concerned with how his disappearance will look than the fact that he’s—he’s gone, they left him in a sinking car—his chest is rising and falling quickly, and he wonders distantly if the drowning was just a little slow to catch up.

Summary
The second Robin prepares to fledge, but, an Alley Kid to his core, he has a few more things to learn before he can shed his bright feathers and grow something new.
Unfortunately, what he needs to know is not something his parents or brother can teach him, and the Alley Rat in him won't let Jason do what needs to be done, what his dads can't, unless he'll get all there is to get from it, right down to the very souls of his victims.
Luckily, there is someone who can.
Watch out, John Constantine. Here comes trouble.

Summary
Bits of world-building, lore, and comparisons to Canon that I felt needed to be shared, but decided were too long for author notes.
Reading this SHOULD NOT be necessary to understand the rest of the series.
Some of the chapters are bits of my own notes that I have chosen to share, and as such may be altered as time goes on, if I feel it necessary to do so. Their format, and amount of editing, may also reflect this.

Summary
Gotham city has seen many horrors since its founding. Gang violence, mass murder, attempted genocide at least once, unparalleled drug and human trafficking. Then Thomas and Martha Wayne were shot in an alleyway and everything changed. Even if it took years Bruce Wayne would make sure as few suffered what he did as possible.
Doing it alone was, of course, a bad idea. Gotham’s solution was to send kids his way. At first having a prodigy was helpful, then it became two, then three, four, six and before Bruce knew it his mansion of empty rooms was far from empty.

Summary
Alright. Let’s do this, one last time.
His name is Peter Parker, and he was bitten by a radioactive spider. For the past three years, he’s been Queens’ one and only Spider-Man.
After a battle with an arrogant, overgrown, self righteous grape, he was killed.
He came back to life, five years later, apparently having ‘blipped’, and he and the avengers, and so many others, managed to defeat the grape, not without losing Tony Stark, his mentor, his idol, his hero.
After that, things went to shit. Some guy showed up, pretended to be an ally, and then tried to kill Peter, exposed his identity and then the guy died, after falsely accusing Peter of killing him. A spell accidentally caused a rift in the multiverse, sent two variants of him into his universe, along with their villain galleries, Aunt May was killed, the multiverse nearly collapsed, and then he had Dr Strange cast a spell for everyone to forget him, and for everything he’d ever caused go back to normal.
What neither of them banked on, however, was the fact that he went rocketing through space and time, and ended up in, named most appropriately, Gotham, alongside the, previously dead, trickster god.
