The Living City (or: Gotham and Her Children, over the years) by Just_an_aussie_otaku_hermit
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU
29 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
“Gotham likes Bruce Wayne.
Her Children whisper about him often. Horrible, vicious, lewd and a few good things from the Screaming, Searing Sunlight, but so many good and wondrous things from Her Children, the Whisperers in the Shadows. Though, most of them whispered about The Bat—a shroud he’d donned in order to help his Siblings—there were good things murmured about the efforts of Bruce Wayne. Airhead boy-billionaire with a perfect smile and a bleeding heart.”
Gotham is alive, and though young when compared to others like her, she is far from weak.

ICARIAN CARRION. by orpheusaki

Summary
“I'm not afraid of falling, Bruce,” Dick says casually when the man's silence is an answer enough, pulling himself up to sit on the pole again, eyes a bright and relentless blue. The boy frowns, “My parents weren't afraid of falling either.”
Bruce feels his heart lurch in his chest. The ground seems very, very far away, “Dick."
“Bruce,” Dick replies easily, smiling something sad and faint, “Don't be scared. Falling is half the fun.”
(Bruce teaches Robin how to use a grapple, and Dick teaches Batman how to fly.)

Child of the Sun-Star’s Fallen Heart by BeyondTheClouds777
Fandoms: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga
07 Oct 2023
Tags
Summary
Edward pulls his knees impossibly close to his chest. “It’s not… cured. Just—um. The average lifespan for someone with the sickness is just over thirty years, but Hohenheim couldn’t cure it, so he just… gave me enough souls to keep me alive.”
Oh, hell. “Multiple?” Roy says.
“Hundreds,” says Edward. “I’m a Philosopher’s Stone.”
Edward Elric is a boy who knows a little bit about everything. He dabbles in a wide assortment of hobbies and skills, regardless of how niche or outdated they may be. Some days he’s himself; other days the kid stares off into space, zoned out so severely that it takes hours to snap him out of it.
Roy always thought it strange. But teenagers are strange, aren’t they? Being a prodigy of alchemy doesn’t make Edward an exception.
But it’s not that simple.
On the brink of death, Roy is saved by his subordinate from what should have been a fatal wound, and in the process begins to understand.
