you caused my heart to bleed (i feel so cold, this house no longer feels like home)

Part 4 of the welcome to your life (there’s no turning back) series

[AU] Bruce hasn’t been the same since he returned from who-knows-where, and Felicity hates mysteries. They bug her and they need to be solved.

PREVIEW:

“Bruce,” She greets, voice cold.

Bruce wets his lips and offers her a small smile, but it doesn’t reach his eyes because her cold greeting hurt him, and there’s a vicious surge of satisfaction with the realization because he’s hurt her too. Her heart shattered when he left Gotham, when he walked away from her, but now she’s stuck back, she’s lashed out and cut him deep. 

“Hey, Fee.” Emotion clogs his throat, turning his voice to sandpaper as he says, “I’ve missed you.”

you caused my heart to bleed (i feel so cold, this house no longer feels like home) Part 4 of the welcome to your life (there’s no turning back) series

[AU] Bruce hasn’t been the same since he returned from who-knows-where, and Felicity hates mysteries. They bug her and they need to be solved.

PREVIEW:

If he thought the change to her bedroom was drastic, it’s nothing compared to seeing his sister for the first time in three years.

Felicity’s wild brown curls have been replaced with straightened hair with purple high lights. Her nose is pierced, and her blue eyes that are so like their mother’s are lined with thick black eyeliner and her lips are painted a deep, vibrant purple. Her nails that were always painted a bright, vibrant pink or blue or yellow that matched the day’s outfit has been replaced with black, and she’s traded in her round bottle-shaped glasses for contacts.

Her outfit makes her look harsh and hard in a way he never thought he’d associate with Felicity. But gone are the soft sweaters and the embroidered jeans and the pink Chucks, and in their place is a black leather jacket, matching black combat boots, and a destroyed pair of khaki jeans.His little sister has grown up while he was gone.

Felicity’s face is cold indifference when she runs her gaze over him. “Bruce,” She greets, voice cold.

i can tell (we are gonna be friends)

Part 3 of the welcome to your life (there’s no turning back) series

[AU] Long before the crime-fighting, super-secret identities, and epic romances with emotionally-stunted vigilantes, they were Felicity Wayne and Barbara Gordon: best friends. Because all great friendships have to start somewhere. {Felicity-centric, coincides with the three years Bruce was in Nanda Parbat}.

PREVIEW:

 Bruce left, again, but this time it feels like he left her.

And she misses him so, so much that a few tears spill over and run down her face as it crumples.

She tucks her face into her coat and sobs for a long time, careless about the people that are surely watching, because her heart feels raw and exposed like a nerve and it hurts too much to even worry about anything else.

She misses Bruce, she's missed him since he'd left Gotham the first time to study abroad, but he'd still been her big brother. He called and emailed and asked her about school, about her friends, about Eddie when she developed a crush and told him all about the boy with dark eyes and dark hair whom she thought was so totally cute. He talked to her for hours, and sometimes he sent care packages from the different countries he visited, but this time it feels different.

Bruce hadn't even said goodbye this time. He just left her.

She just wishes she knew why, wishes she knew what was so wrong with her, that he would leave.

carry on my wayward son     Part 2 of the welcome to your life (there’s no turning back) series

[AU] Bruce swore an oath to be stronger, to protect his little sister, and to rid his city of the evil that had taken their parents’ lives while Felicity was still in infancy. To do that, Bruce has to become someone else. He has to become something else.

PREVIEW:

“With the League at your command you could replace the evil that fills your home with death, but even you must realize there is no redemption for Gotham. You understand the forces of decay,” Ra’s murmurs, voice gentle, and then he clasps a hand on Bruce’s shoulder in a comforting manner. “Cities like Gotham are in their death throes. Chaotic and grotesque, beyond saving.”

Bruce remembers the decay of the city the last time he was in Gotham, he remembers the way his heart cracked, an open fault line, when he saw the graffiti, when he saw the homeless bundled on the streets in the winter chill, Wayne Tower looming overhead as if to mock him.

“Beyond saving?” Bruce asks, serious. “You really believe that?”

Ra’s turns his gaze to the harshly beautiful landscape of Nanda Parbat. “You came to us because the land of your birth was choking you with its corruption.” His brows furrow, his mouth a pursed straight line. “It is not right that one must come so far to see the world as it is meant to be. Purity, serenity, solitude. These are the qualities those who seek rebirth in Nanda Parbat hold dear,” he turns his gaze to Bruce, “But the important thing is whether you believe it. Can Gotham be saved, or is she an ailing ancestor whose time has run?”
