Pennyworth: Gainful Employment
Three years after the bomb dropped on London and it’s all starting to come together for Alfred.
MI5 have offered him a promotion, he’s got his mum set up in a nice flat in Edinburgh and Dave Boy is even paying his bar tabs. So, of course, Alfred is going out of his mind with boredom.
How convenient, then, that a strangely worded letter arrives from Gotham, thanking Alfred for his application for the position of Head Butler to Wayne Manor, urging him to come as soon as possible.
There’s just one small problem—Alfred didn’t apply for any job. Which can only mean one thing: Martha and Thomas are in danger and they need Alfred to get them out of it.
It’s probably a trap.
Alfred’s almost hoping it is.
Guess he’ll find out.

I’m trying a new thing where I post fics I’m not entirely happy with but instead of letting them languish and rot in my drafts, ultimately killing my desire to do anything, I bludgeon my fatalistic perfectionism to death with a hammer and post them anyway.
Hopefully it’s all right.
Also don’t worry if you’re waiting on Richard’s story updating. I’m just sorting through WIPs in the hopes it’ll clear up some mental bandwidth :)
