hey Andy!! do you know of any batlantern fics similar to In Ruins (the one you recommended on your faves recommended list)? thank you!!! have a great day !
Hey thank you for the request! There’s not a lot in the way of adventure-style AUs, so I also included some longer mission-based fics as well. Remember to show love to these authors!
Dead Man Walking by antithestral (WIP) - But just before Bruce could walk away, Jordan grabbed his wrist. "What," Bruce hissed, wondering if Jordan had seen something. But he was- he was still just staring at Bruce, his hand still locked around Bruce's wrist, and "Hal, what," he said, quieter, rougher.
“The job’s done. The succubus— it's dead,” Hal rasped.
“You'll be heading out tomorrow. I don’t know… I don’t know when I’ll see you again.”
“If you're going to punch me, you should do it now,” Hal whispered all in a rush, and then pulled him close, and— and kissed him.
[Or, the one in which they don't have superpowers, and there aren't any aliens, but they save they save the world anyway — and also, fall in love.]
We May Die Tomorrow by Lunardeityastrid -“My squadron is leaving tomorrow.”
Hal raised an eyebrow. He had expected more of a reaction.
Bruce didn’t say anything but his body went visibly stiff, his hands slacking on the bandages. Hal propped himself up grimacing at the minor pain. If there were more pilots, Hal would have had his rest and recovery. Only B-17s were falling out of the sky like flies over Berlin. Last mission, twenty-five went out. Two returned. Each mission the stakes were higher. Hal refused to be the tiniest bit of an optimist; he would only be lying to himself. He cupped Bruce’s face, dragging him in for a faint kiss on the lips. Hal didn’t worry about the other pilots in the tent, they were all comatose anyways. (I haven’t read this one yet, but it’s next on my list!)
We’re Alive by just-kent-ing-around (WIP) - Thrown dangerously off course by debris, a shimmering purple cloud, and then pulled into a gravitational orbit, there is no chance to escape their crash and burn.
Batman and Green Lantern are in for the challenge of their lives... stranded on an alien planet, with no way out. With each other.
Except they don't know they're trapped on a planet cloaked in a time anomaly. The time passed on it, isn't equal to the time of Earth.
To the Justice League? They're a couple of days out from the end of their diplomatic mission.
To them? They've been stranded, a year and a half. (Another one I haven’t read but that is on my list!)
Aliens Made Us Do It by FabulaRasa - Bruce and Hal run into a little bit of cultural difficulty on an off-world mission. This was really, really not supposed to be Bruce Wayne's wedding day. Consider this story the traditional fannish "oh no we have to get married!" with a BatLanterny twist at the end.
