When That Light Hits the Sky
a fic by me for the @carry-on-au-fest (CO AU fest post here)
rating: T
Chapters: 2/6
Words: 3455/~15k
tags: superhero au (but more like ex-superhero AU); Batman AU; but more like life after Batman; Penelope Bunce is a Good Friend; Baz Pitch is Not the Joker; mentions of drinking and depression; non magical AU; despite this it is in fact a getting together meet-cute
based on this comic
Summary: Simon’s in his thirties and suddenly unemployed. His old job had its downsides, but he felt useful, full of purpose—and he didn’t have to worry about pesky things like making more than one friend, or minding his personal safety, or even picking out his own clothes (the uniform might have been the best part). Now he’s adrift, and he can’t even talk about it—revealing even an ex-Batman’s secret identity comes with some pretty hefty penalties, after all. But that shouldn’t be a problem—who’s he gonna tell, anyway?
