ISO Missing fics on AO3

It seems that four of my fav fics were deleted from AO3 and i don’t remember the author’s name or the fic titles but they were all Wayleska AUs. 

1. Miah was a blind college student that Bruce fell for

2. Miah was Bruce’s reclusive next door neighbor

3. Bruce was studying at the cafe where Miah was the barista

4. A take on “Strangers on a Train” where Miah kills Bruce’s girlfriend

I’m so sad they are gone - of course I’d bookmarked them but the bookmarks show the stories were deleted and I looked through AO3 to see if they were reposted and on FF.net to see if they were published there…if anyone has these saved, or if you are the author and wouldn’t mind sharing them with me…please let me know!

[jeremiahwasrobbed]

Hi Wayleska fandom…I no longer have access to my old tumblr (rowenaaine), the related emailaccount, or my old hard drive (long story) so I have come back to ask if anyone has these or related fics that no longer can be found on the interwebs. A kind poster sent them to me in 2019 but no longer has them either.

The fics are by someone named ‘waleskas’ and are:

A City of Black and White

Coffee Notes

A Coyote Mouse Love Story

MORE IMPORTANTLY

I also no longer have some of my own AO3 fics written under this same name, rowenaaine. I had deleted my AO3 account due to my job. The longer ones are the ones I specifically miss:

How’s It Gonna Be (a post-season finale fic - I have ch 25 but nothing earlier)

Paying for It (an OswaldxJeremiah bdsm fic - I have the first 20 chapters but not the next 20 or so…)

Poison in the Blood GOT THIS ONE BACK !! I might republish.

I was able to use the Wayback Machine for my oldest fic and a couple shorter ones, but these are seemingly gone. Any chance someone has previously downloaded them for offline reading?

Thanks in advance, even if all you can do is say “no.”

You came along and offered me everything I could dream of.

woah

Jeremiah, without a doubt, recognized Bruce in that suit and you can’t change my mind.

He’d recognize his soul mate and obsession anywhere, no matter the mask and that is beautiful.

Hey I wanted to say- I love your Gotham Playing for Keeps series, Darkroom is iconic. I was wondering something about the short fic that comes before it in the series, The Talk- did you ever wonder what might happen if you did an AU take on that one, where Bruce doesn’t just drop off Jeremiah that night after they have dinner to talk about the grant, but goes in the bunker with him and- it’d be interesting if... you know what... happened to both of them? You write damn fine dark Bruce anyway, SO

What’s weird is that I never have considered pursuing that avenue? Not before now, at least! It’s probably because I see Bruce as a lot more terrifying if he makes the choice to flip his moral compass without benefit of mind-alteration. Atually, Jeremiah had the potential to be even scarier if he’d never been hit with the gas, too; I mean, we know he was at least halfway there anyway at a baseline. Granted, even if they’re scarier without the gas, not having that happen leaves the option for also choosing to exercise self control. Jerome was probably more apprehensive than he let on at any point in his brief canonical interactions with his brother. You can’t get the upper hand on someone like Jeremiah unless you weaken him with an attachment (i.e. Bruce). It cost Jerome everything, but he knew he was both setting Jeremiah up to wreak havoc and also setting him up with a weakness that leads to guaranteed failure. It’s terrifyingly intelligent on Jerome’s part. It’s no wonder I end up doing everything I can to keep Jerome alive in my sprawling projects (well, that and I love how cranky it makes everybody if he’s still around).

This becomes a fascinating exercise, though, if I think about what that precise set of circumstances would look like. It wouldn’t be hard at all to pull “The Talk” out of context and do a stand-alone AU case study on it. Playing for Keeps would have turned out so differently if I’d done that to begin with; the city would never have recovered. Things would never have gone back to a weird, tense state of normal in Gotham post-reunification that you see in PfK as it stands. I’m pretty sure Bruce and Jeremiah both would’ve ended up dead, because if there’s no capacity to put the brakes on each other, or at least capacity for one to put brakes on the other, it leads to ruin. Granted, I rarely call it the end of the world if both my lovers get to die. It’s one surviving when the other doesn’t that puts me in a bad way; that’s the worst kind of ending there is.

(The outcome for the two of them could be a turnabout that’s even less drastic than what you see in “Darkroom,” in one sense, but also a lot more sinister in another. I’m thinking about how I’d end up with a situation that takes cues from another piece of lit I love. It’s a scene I keep revisiting over time; I have this heartbroken compulsion to see various other pairings redeem it. They can all walk away from it, whereas its originators cannot. The question for Bruce and Jeremiah becomes: Can they walk away from a version of it, too?)

as a writer of some of the best Gotham fanfic on AO3 - @irisbleufic is iconic. Read Darkroom if you haven't already - and I also support the idea of an AU for The Talk! (read all her work - go!)

Now it begins.

[jeremiahwasrobbed]

why'd they have to ruin him in those dang chemicals

[gotham-daily]

I’m going to stop you. I really hope you don’t try. I would hate to have to kill you. In fact, I can honestly say you are my very best friend.

[daily-joker]

See, o-over the course of our little adventure, fate brought to me James Gordon and Leslie Thompkins, and I thought to myself why not why not kill the man who you think of as your second father figure? And your dear, dear, dear friend Lee Thompkins. And when I do, finally, you and I will be bound together.

What would you do if you were scrolling through recommended tumblr posts and one was from someone you don't know and it was just a picture of your dad captioned "fucking hate this guy" and it had hundreds of notes
