    Summary

    The rocket strikes through the heart. Reality collapses in less than five seconds.

    Jayce rebuilds Viktor, little by little, piece by piece.

    And if his partner comes back from the dead a little different, well... what's not to love? Jayce is a quick study. He can adjust himself into a suitable form. He pledged himself to this task a dozen years ago; he's in it for the long haul.

    *
    To put it bluntly: this is the one where Dr. Frankenstein runs away with his bride.

    Summary

    Edward had thought the only flaw in his perfectly planned crime was that nobody would ever be able to appreciate it - apart from himself. And yet, Batman had deftly deciphered all his clues, seen the solution Edward hadn't thought anyone would ever find.

    Doesn’t a correct answer deserve a reward? But, what to offer? What would be both acceptable and accepted?

     

    part 1: batman solves a riddle, edward is very touched and wants to do something nice for him - in his own villainous way

    part 2: edward helps batman out of a bad situation, and the two have an unexpected heart to heart

    Summary


    It’ll be okay. You’re safe.

    A lie, perhaps the biggest one John had ever uttered in his meager four months of existence. He certainly did not feel safe, not enclosed in a seemingly-endless labyrinth that could twist and reshape itself at will, not in England where he could see barren grasslands all the way to the horizon, not in this fucking universe that could have been handpicked by a bored god or—worse yet—chosen at random just for shits and giggles.

    No. John did not feel safe one bit.

    Even so, Arthur breathed.


    I’ll take care of you.

    And breathed.


    It’ll be okay.

    And breathed.


    It’ll be fine.

    And faded.
    .
    .
    .
    Miraculously, the witch is vanquished and her talisman tugs Arthur violently back to mortality, though it is obvious he won't be leaving the labyrinth any time soon. John does the only thing he can and watches over him.

    Summary

    "I think you’re like… the night sky. God didn’t need to create you because you were always there - a blanket of darkness, moulded around the stars.
    I don’t think you’re a demon, John - to be demonic implies you fell from a higher place into depravity. From everything I know about you, you sound more like you crawled your way up from hell in search of paradise and found purgatory.
    You’re not demonic, you’re… cosmic."

    On one dark evening, a priest encounters a monster.
