Fic rec: to be buried alive by FromStarstuff (@donnatroia)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/59831971

Summary:

Bruce died and Cass couldn’t breathe for a week. She didn’t want to believe it at first, didn’t want to even think of it. She knew Bruce and she knew death and they didn’t fit together, not at all. He was gone, gone like Brenda and Bludhaven, gone like Steph had been. Like Faizul. She felt it inside of her, so keenly it was as if she had killed him by her own hand. She could search the whole earth and not find a trace of him. It was too much. The pressure was squeezing her insides, left her constantly choking for air. She couldn’t stop dry heaving. Or: Bruce is dead. Instead of leaving, Cass stays in Gotham. She learns a thing or two about being Batman.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/67205863

Summary:

“I had a… friend.” Brenda looked at her for a long time. “A friend? Like a normal friend, or...?” "I don’t know.

Fic rec: Mirrors by ashesgrey (@batnotes)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/84292631/chapters/222315236

Summary:

“The eye sees not itself, but by reflection, by some other things.” - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar In BoP #43, Black Canary tells Spoiler to “go back to the Batboys.” What if she didn’t? Or, three views of Stephanie Brown, in a world that might have been.

Continuity: Post-Crisis Era: Modern Age (1985–now) Comic/Comic arc: Birds of Prey (1999), Robin (1993), Post-Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive Main Characters: Stephanie Brown, Barbara Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Helena Bertinelli, Dinah Lance Main Relationships: Stephanie Brown & Dinah Lance, Barbara Gordon & Bruce Wayne, Helena Bertinelli & Stephanie Brown Comment: This fic shows a canon-plausible way Spoiler might have been taken underwing by the Birds of Prey instead of getting unceremoniously dropped during the Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive Arc. While Steph doesn't appear in person in every chapter, each offers a window into what resonates about her with each of the POV characters and charts the impact their advocacy has for her.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/46774495

Summary:

"I would never be mad at you for this," Bruce tells him clearly, leaving no room for misunderstanding, blue eyes sharp and clear as they meet Jason's steadily, "I think you know this Jason, deep down. You know I would never blame you for any of this." Jason's heart is tight, "I'm —" Bruce places both hands on his shoulders, "Don't apologise. Just breathe with me." Jason takes a deep breath in, matching Bruce's unshakeable calmness. It's the first time in a long time that Jason feels like he can actually breathe. (Jason survives Ethiopia and returns home; this is the beginning.)

‘’You know the Mad Hatter?’’ An involuntary shiver runs up Roy’s spine. ‘’Jarvis Tetch? Short little freak with a hard-on for Alice in Wonderland? Yeah, Wings' mentioned him, once or twice. Dabbles in mind control. Gives me the creeps.’’ ‘’Well, back in the day he built this thing called the Dream Machine, trapped its victim in a kind of dream world. It seems someone found the blueprint. Spruced it up a bit.’’ A cold feeling settles in Roy’s stomach. ‘’You’re saying…’’ ‘’You’re looking at the Dream Machine 2.0.’’ --- Or: Dick is dreaming and Roy needs to get him out. He learns a lot of things along the way, things Dick would've preferred to keep buried.
