STAY TO BURN ONLY TO DROWN INSTEAD [batman: bruce wayne x reader, jonathan crane x reader, edward nashton x reader.]

You accept an offer to TA for Dr. Jonathan Crane's Psychology of Fear class and everything goes to shit from there. A mixture between the Nolan!verse and the Reeves!verse. The masterpost linked has links to other works in the universe as well.

A HEAVY KIND OF MADNESS. [arcane: silco x reader]

After an accident at The Last Drop, you are put in Silco’s debt. Unable to pay, you strike up a deal with him- you’ll serve as his courier and deliver letters Topside until your debt is repaid. Despite everything you had been warned about while growing up in Piltover, you find yourself increasingly drawn to Silco and the danger he represents. With an arranged marriage and family expectations hanging over your head, you find freedom and temptation in your new double life and the man who runs it. But you can only lie for so long before it starts to catch up to you, and that includes the lies you tell yourself.

KINGDOM COME UNDONE [star wars: kylo ren x reader]

You are a fighter for the Resistance, captured after a mission goes wrong. But where you expected to be interrogated for information you didn't have and subsequently killed, you instead meet your soulmate. Unfortunately. ON HIATUS

Turning up a month late with a coffee, but honestly yeah, I’m happy with being a Jonathan Girlie.

a coffee you say

(but okay, it’s settled- Jonathan girlies are henceforth called Jonathan girlies.)

[summercourtship]

sometimes I remember that I wrote one of the most popular Batman reader insert fics and I’m like “…huh”

[summercourtship]

”this taylor swift song is about—“ actually it’s about my favorite fictional characters

[summercourtship]

Look do I think it’s going to be good for the reader when Jonathan inevitably returns? … No.

Do I think it’s morally a good idea to have sex with him when we’re in a relationship with Bruce? … Also no.

But do I desire that man carnally, and am I really excited by the idea of topping to the point where I’m willing to throw it all away in a lust filled haze??? … Yes. As soon as we unblock him THE SITUATIONSHIP IS BACK ON! WE’RE MAKING EACH OTHER WORSE AND GOING DOWN TOGETHER! HAND IN UNLOVABLE HAND!!!

if you want to see the reader make good, healthy decisions… don’t read SLLC. or even STBOTDI. i know y’all are here to see her make the messiest decisions possible and I am here to make that happen ☺️

(I am excited for her dynamic with Jonathan in SLLC. if you can guess what other fictional relationship I’m kinda basing them off of, you get ten points and a sneak peek at the next chapter lol)

[summercourtship]

gosh I’m lucky 🤍

[summercourtship]

but we can’t win them all

[summercourtship]

my allergies have been acting up but the only allergy medicine I have is Benadryl so I’ve been 😵‍💫 this weekend

[summercourtship]

there are some words that I keep in my back pocket, saving them for special moments where they will have MAXIMUM IMPACT.

nuzzle is one of them.

[summercourtship]

okay fine I get the solavellan mania. I am in fact suffering from it right now.

[summercourtship]

gosh I’m lucky 🤍

[summercourtship]

I really weirdly appreciate how anxious you made the reader in SLLC. It’s really fun and interesting to see how STBOTDI affected her, because of course it would, but it would’ve been really easy to just say, “Hey, she’s anxious!” and move on. I really love the way you actually show it instead.

Immediately, you were overcome with guilt in addition to your anxiety. You knew how much sleep Bruce got– not a lot– and now you’ve pulled him from it for something stupid that could be handled with the techniques your therapist had provided you. But you couldn’t remember any of them and calling Bruce was easier.

I only have this part here, but this whole interaction between the reader and Bruce is so, so, so cute, and I can genuinely feel her anxiety because part of me wants Bruce to go to sleep, but another part desperately wants her to keep talking to him hahaha! I think I’ve told you this before, but you really have a special way of making me feel like the reader. STBOTDI was the first fic that made me feel so immersed in the world-building and the characters, and SLLC has that same charm. (well duh its your writing ofc it will have the same charm!)

Sometimes while I’m reading SLLC, I feel like a middle-aged woman screaming at the TV or laughing at the sarcastic quips the narrator makes. if you ever wonder if anyone laughs at these:

Life. The ultimate cockblock.

(Edward. They made fun of you for sleeping with Edward.)

It’s me, I’m the target audience of sarcasm/ironic/funny oneliners, thank you

The part where I was genuinely screaming at the TV was during her mental struggle over the Vicky Vale interview. GIRL, you are mentally unstable! Please at least PREPARE before you go! i’m so skeptical about this you have no idea!!!

And Marie and Bridget!!! OMG, I was so happy they showed up and had their sex and the city moment! I also love how surprisingly supportive they are as friends. Like, you cannot casually tell your friends that you had sex with TWO wanted criminals and have the worst reaction be a few jokes about it 😭 They really are the “We make questionable choices + Marie” friend group! Also Harvey Dent mention im going insane I want them all interacting NOW!

Half of you felt like it wasn’t fair to be upset at Edward for not immediately answering the phone when you called. Was he supposed to just wait by the phone all day for you? The other half knew you were being more than fair when he was the one who left you cryptic demands and provided no time frame for their completion. And knew that, if he wanted to, he could very well wait by the phone all day for you.

Oh boy… Edward… I’m so excited for him! When she kept calling and he didn’t answer, I immediately imagined him like that episode of The Office where Michael listens to Jan’s voicemail and keeps replaying the part where she says, “I guess I missed you!” I have a feeling he’s still a little pissed off at her, but let’s see how this goes!!!

Anyways! Great chapter! Sorry not sorry for the block of text! You rock!

god, I live for your annotations of my work. I appreciate all the thought and time you take into sending me these!

It was really important to me when conceptualizing a sequel to STBOTDI to keep in mind how the events would effect the reader, just as I had to think about how the events pre-STBOTDI effected her throughout the text. Perhaps its a bit easier for me to write as a anxiety/OCD sufferer, but I appreciate that it resonates with someone else!

also I love the comparison of you to a middle-aged woman screaming at her TV. don't worry, there will plenty of moments in the fic for you to react like that to. the reader is, as you mentioned, not very stable and prone to impulsivity. which makes for excellent "what the fuck are you doing right now" moments.

No comment on Vikki Vale but you are right to be wary.

I love Marie + Bridgit. I also wanted reader in this fic to have a more obvious support system so that when everything goes to shit it hurts more and they're super fun to write.

I'm super excited for Edward to re-enter the fic! (And Jonathan, too, but obviously Edward is first up). He's definitely taking a larger role in this one than he was in the previous. (Also, I'm sure he did re-listen to those voicemails. He probably likes being called names and talked down to. You know, like a FREAK (affectionate).)

[summercourtship]

the cure by olivia rodrigo is kinda the perfect song for SLLC reader

[summercourtship]

potential* smut scenes for the sequel below the cut if you don’t want to be spoiled don’t look (*i say potential bc I’m still not entirely sure if all of these will happen/will have the correct set up to happen)

Bruce:

In the bath

batmobile sex 😌

This one possibly goes along with the one above but idk I kinda want an angry sex scene with Bruce.

edward

Phone sex lol

jonathan

Therapist/psychiatrist roleplay bullshit. Just being weirdos.

hmmmm Reader topping……….

sequel to stay to burn (only to drown instead): read here | masterpost

pairings: bruce wayne x reader, jonathan crane x reader, edward nashton x reader

warnings/notes: a mixture between the nolan movies and the 2022 film, i.e. cillian murphy's scarecrow; robert pattinson's batman; paul dano's riddler, canon-typical violence, possible eventual smut. SEE AO3 FOR MORE TAGS/WARNINGS.

It’s been six months since Jonathan Crane was arrested and it finally feels like things are calming down. Sure, you still have nightmares you can’t talk about and yes, you’re dating someone who puts his life on the line nightly to keep Gotham somewhat liveable, but things are going okay! …Until a certain someone re-enters your life and everything goes to shit. Again.

AO3 LINK | PLAYLIST

A few months ago, I officially marked this series as complete. No sequels, no more one-shots, nothing. Not unless I had an idea that I thought deserved to be told. Well, this is that. I can’t guarantee that it’ll do what you want— I can’t guarantee smut, and I certainly can’t guarantee that you’ll be happy with me at the end. But, if you will indulge me, I’ll be happy to take you along with me. If you have been following me on tumblr, you know that this project is a long time coming. After a year of false starts, scrapped concepts (which are preserved in the et cetera bonus fic), creative burn-outs, and needless pressure that I put on myself, I am very excited to put this out into the world. Instead of being a fic that I write to garner attention and appease you all, I’m writing a fic that I am passionate about. So let’s get started. If you haven’t read the first work in this series, Stay to Burn (Only to Drown Instead), please do so before reading this! This is a sequel and is not meant to be read as a stand-alone. (But I also can’t stop you.)
