Summary
Another murder solved, another clever conversation had. They’d pressed all the right buttons in all the right ways to finally make sense of the chaos and now everybody was going to live happily ever after with only a small amount of counselling necessary in the immediate aftermath.

Summary
The sunshine is almost bright enough to blind and Hathaway is not sure that he trusts this. He expected fluffy white clouds, a big booming voice, a Presence. Or he expected heat. Flames. Darkness. And if he is honest, for the past few years he's been expecting nothingness. Just peace.

Summary
You're pleasantly wound up on the mood, the music, the moonlight. All those 'm' words. There's another 'm' word that's wound you up but you don't want to think it.

Summary
All she'd ever wanted was to provide a space where bureaucracy wouldn't overwhelm the whole point of the police force.

Summary
The overcoat is too long. Too big in the shoulders, too wide in the chest, the wrong colour; the wrong fit in total and yet Bruce takes it back, and can’t resist preferring the sight of his clothing wrapped around Gordon’s smaller frame.

Summary
Weakness, and Marcone had stiffened in spite of himself, his instincts, his training. Because Vadderung had earned it, and because he could do nothing less when it was about Harry Dresden.

Summary
Even his name is pretentious. Lestrade feels a prickle down his spine at the sound of it.

Summary
Five times Bruce very briefly remembers Gordon's military past.

Summary
The wizard’s ex, dangerous in his grief and his anger, taking what he thinks is his pound of flesh and maybe it is. Maybe Marcone owes something to the man. Doesn’t know. Can’t think clearly enough to remember.

Summary
Todd knew something, Ewan’s pretty sure of that. What Todd thought he knew, though, is entirely another matter. Because Ewan’s a pretty good actor and he’s excellent at diversions.

Summary
Gordon wants to say it’s all going to be okay but it isn’t. And Damian isn’t the child who needs that from him. That child grew up many years ago, and died last night, giving everything he had to make those words come true.

Summary
Gordon reaches out, touches the point of Bruce’s chin and tips it up. Wonders if Bruce knows how exposed he looks, sitting passively without the armour of any of his suits including the ones he wears to board meetings and social functions.

Summary
In hindsight, this is his fault. Like it’s his fault for skipping out on the masque. Like it’s his fault for picking this bar. It’s his fault. He remembers this, clings to it as he lets himself be picked up.

Summary
He says nothing. Not then. Doesn't trust himself to speak. Doesn't know what he'll do in the circumstances because Barbara is old enough to make her choices, Bruce is the Batman, and he isn't supposed to know about either of those two things.

Summary
Post-The Dark Knight Rises, though non-specific in terms of timeline or canon: The ears on the cowl seem to serve no purpose at all as far as Gordon can tell, though they do look... cute? Bruce doesn't like that epitaph, and figures Gordon needs a far more appropriate view of the design of his cowl.

His return to Gotham is violent and vengeful.
