Summary
Gotham, 1939. A once great city is torn asunder by the Great Depression. Political extremists battle it out in the streets. Criminals prey upon the weak and destitute. Gotham's upper class desperately wall themselves off from the rest of the city, hoping to escape the growing calls for revolution. The world grows darker as the Second World War rages in Europe and Asia, and some in America devise their own twisted schemes to profit from the terrible conflict. To the pessimistic, this is a world without hope. But, even in Gotham's darkest hour, there is a light. An enigmatic creature known only as "the Batman" has been fighting Gotham's powerful underworld, striking fear into the hearts of even the most hardened criminals. No one knows who or what he is, but one thing is for sure: He is the only thing that stands between Gotham and oblivion.
"The Chemical Syndicate"
When an influential chemical executive is found murdered in his own home during a gala, all the evidence points to his son as the killer. But Patrick Wayne isn't convinced. Donning his cape and cowl, he sets out into the dark heart of Gotham's corporate elite to find the truth and bring the killer to justice.Series

Summary
Achilles Prime was born on the soft and warm evening of April 10th, 1925. His skin was pink from the blood and exposure to air for the first time and it made his mother laugh, touching his nose with her fingertip as the baby wailed. He had already decided that he was meant for more than this. He was born the same day The Great Gatsby was released, smack in the middle of a bright-eyed country with large and adventurous prospects. His parents weren’t wealthy, but they weren’t poor either; they owned a quiet house on the corner of a barely developed suburbia, sharing their backyard with raccoons and foxes that had to be chased away every morning. Despite being born into such a prosperous country like the one depicted in Gatsby, he never experienced any of that wealth for himself.
His father the night he turned three was passed out cold, a beer bottle laying slack against his chest.
Achilles shook him. He never woke up.

Summary
Lauren Bacall is just a librarian living in a boarding home with an eccentric group of people trying to survive the Great Depression. She wishes Dorothy Malone, an infuriatingly smug, callous, airheaded woman would just leave her be. But when Dorothy reveals a softer side, Lauren's emotions begin to tumble out of control.
Or; I saw a photo of Lauren Bacall and Dorothy Malone in "Written on the Wind" (1956) and instantly needed to write something insanely out-of-character where Lauren Bacall is a repressed lesbian bottom who's had enough of Dorothy's smug vampy attitude, but turns out it's just sexual frustration. Featuring a few random modern-day people I threw in for fun.

Summary
Darcy Lewis was born in the carnival. At least, that’s what people said. It was kinder than the truth: that Darcy Lewis was likely born in someone’s home but left in a patched-up carpetbag by the ferris wheel when she was no more than a few pounds of screamin’ mad and a swath of thick, dark hair. Wrapped in a tattered blanket, pinned together with a note that read 'Can’t afford another one.'
The carnival wasn’t a place for children, but they made a place for Darcy. They named her after the first intersection they came to on their way out of town. Darcy Boulevard and Lewis Street. And then she was theirs. The youngest member of the Kirby Brothers Traveling Carnival of Marvels.
