A collection of missing events from the story Layto. Where characters had experiences that shaped their lives or you'll find a new perspective enlightening. (Recommend reading Layto first. There will be spoilers for that story in here! This will be updated very slowly until Layto is completed.)

"The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless. A little pack of unopened cigarettes for instance." Explore the struggles that come with the ups and downs of life. Accepting change be it outward or in, time waits for no one to pull it together. (Summary change may occur until completion. To be determined: Hurt/Comfort, Friendship, Crime, General Life)

Talia's master plan is hobbled by a Governor's deciding vote. Bane, Talia, and friends pay a visit, his vote cannot be undone, he will offer penance. He'll bend the knee, offer unwilling flesh. This is before the film, an encounter with a roadblock before the fifty-yard line disappears and Dr. Pavel's broken neck is witnessed by many. Rated M for anything and everything, xoxo.

The events of the film have transpired; bodies have been tagged and bagged. Gotham City is in the early stages of healing. The presumed dead return to the land of the living, hearts that were declared dead will beat again. Offensive stuff afoot, sex, violence and triggering words galore. I hope you enjoy Bane and OC Jane Bell.

UPDATE: I have been SUPER editing and reworking this story. I will be updating chapters and adding new ones beginning now and ending at the end of the summer. I hope to have the whole series completed by then. (5/31/2023)

Grace Fitzgerald would do anything to protect her family. Even if she has to put herself in danger. When a group of mercenaries target her brother, she can't abandon him. Even if this means aiding Gotham's reckoning.

Jessica and Ellie were hoping for a quiet night in. They didn't realize that a knock at the door would change everything. Taken by the Joker, neither knows whether they'll get out alive. But Jessica will do anything it takes to save her sister, even if it means sacrificing herself.

Towering over all others and parting the crowd of men with his mere presence alone, Bane bare chested, stalked directly towards her. She froze instinctually as danger approached. Every pair of eyes followed him as he reached out, grasping her firmly by the upper arm. 'This one belongs to me.' Bane announced with authority, dragging her beside him. (Contains violence, sex scenes)

Basically Detective John Blake is bored and looking for trouble, so he asks John Constantine to play some round of 'Shag, Marry or Kill' with him to pass the time. And annoy the hell out of his babysitter Barsad. Poor Barsad. He does not get paid enough for this shit.

[COMPLETE] Bruce Wayne is dead, and with him the hope of Gotham. By default the job goes to a hotheaded Marianne Lancer, who is way in over her head. Protecting the city wouldn't be easy—but factor in the masked newcomer Batman, a resurrected Bruce Wayne, and a crime syndicate that threatens to burn Gotham to ashes? Easy isn't even half of it.

What is it like to work for a madman? How do you keep sane every day when your life is shrouded with darkness, blood and gunpowder? The lives of the Joker's henchmen have always been a mystery. Ana has worked for the Clown Prince of Crime for years, and this is her story of how she put her loyalty above almost everything else.

On a snowy night in Gotham, Bane discovers just how deceiving first impressions can be when he takes a hostage from the city's theatre district. 'She Used to be Mine' lyrics belong to Sarah Bareilles from the musical, 'Waitress'.

In which the Joker gets a taste of his own medicine, meets his match, reclaims his identity and finds peace in the arms of a troubled college student. Not necessarily in that order.

The origin story of Talia al Ghul's mother and Ra's al Ghul's "great love," Melisande.

Madeline Rose Taylor is a broken woman, in many ways. But now, she's finally cracked, and has been caught. After committing a horrendous crime in Gotham City, she is thrust into the care of Dr. Jonathan Crane, who's determined to make her face her fears... And find out who she really is.

In a city plagued by crime and corruption, Dr. Crane grapples with the looming threat of the inquiry. Ms. Grey struggles to uncover the secrets kept in the basement. Takes place during Batman Begins. Rated M. Crane/OC. Complete

Living in Gotham wasn't an easy task. It's even harder when you are a cop. Honest people are a rare thing. Corruption, drugs, murders are the new norm. Until a masked vigilante made its appearance in the street and starts doing the police job. It peaks Officer Sanders interest. As another threat is looming over Gotham, the Detective and the Bat will join forces and fight together.

It was a pleasure to burn.

If I'm gonna make a bigger impression than the Joker, I'll need to bring a friend along...

Diana Diamandis did not know what to expect when her elusive employer returned to Gotham. She certainly did not expect to aid and abet a vigilante on his personal crusade against the criminal underworld. Bruce/OC slow burn.

Slight AU. To punish Batman Ra's al Ghul has the man's Beta lover, John Blake, kidnapped and handed over to Bane to be his Pet. There's 3 problems with that. One, Blake is not Wayne's lover, Bane is way more his type. Two, Blake is most definitely the type to play dirty when it comes to getting what he wants. And three...Blake isn't actually a Beta.

[BOOK 1] Leaving her sunshine state, the petite psychologist accepts a position at the world's most dangerous asylum in the worst city of New Jersey - Gotham, home for corruption and insanity.

Have you ever wondered what the catalyst to rise of the Joker was? This is a story about how the laughing man became who he is today, and how he got there. But be warned, it doesn't have a happy ending.

It was Melanie Blake's dream to work at Wayne Enterprises, and when Earle finally hires her, he sends her to report to none other than Mr. Fox where she learns that men can have double lives. She helps Bruce hide his, in hopes he can help hers, making her realize her true feelings for Bruce Wayne. (Bruce/OC)
