1: A fic that lives in my brain rent-free

Detachment by bonehandledknife. I'm not telling you anything about it other than that it is superbat and the worldbuilding really is... well, it's very good. And probably some other adjectives too.

6: Recommend a fic that does something cool with format or structure (epistolary, social media, 5 things, non-linear, etc.)

HELLO have you read the minesweeper Murderbot fic yet. Closed Loop System by One_of_Them. (Yes, you should read the Murderbot books first. Go on. I'll wait.)

11: Recommend a fic you think is a hidden gem/deserves more reads.

yes! twas i!

Kiwiiiii thank you for asking!!

Dark Batman is my filename for a vague idea about... well, I'll just give you the note I have in it:

On another earth, a dark Batman who doesn't kill. No, he's coldly sane and absolutely doesn't kill but has a giant underground medical facility full of patients in chemically induced comas. Maybe even with tech he stole from the Court of Owls. "I don't kill, Dick, never that," he says to a Dick Grayson who's visiting from a canon dimension. "But now what happened to Jason never has to happen to anyone else." He explains it very calmly, like Dick's a bit thick.

There is a berth in the facility for one Dick Grayson. It is occupied.

hi stevie hi! thank you for asking :D

botwStateDinner is indeed an idea for a Breath of the Wild fic. Just a short little pre-calamity humor piece wherein Zelda realizes how similar she and Link look and convinces Link to take her place at a state dinner so she can go do ancient tech archaeology with Urbosa. (Why Urbosa? Because she is my fav.) Hijinks Ensue

superbat amnesia is a kind of off-the-wall idea where there's this alien corporation whose business is renting out Experiences that they plant in their clients' heads so the clients can, you know, experience other lives. In order to get the experiences, the corporation harvests them from "unregulated" species' minds. Like humans! Turns out lots of alien species want to be Batman so the company snatches all the Batman out of Bruce's head to rent out to tourists.

The interesting thing about that one is I haven't decided where it goes yet. Potential paths include: Superman committing what are technically terrorist acts against this company which is only doing perfectly legal things, and the Green Lanterns having to (try to) arrest him; Superman claiming Bruce as his property so that what the aliens did is technically theft, and then Clark Bruce having to deal with the fallout from that both emotionally and legally; or sticking a power ring on Bruce so that he technically doesn't count as an unprotected species any more. There are lots of ways this could go! All of them will involve thinly veiled criticism of capitalism :P

You are VALID lol I prioritize finished works in my marked for later list, too. One too many heartbreaks, alas!

!!!! You have made my day 💕💕💕 You and mel, what a dream team! I am so delighted by this!

Oh that one’s easy! The scene in the alley in Chapter 4, when Dick rushes in because he hears some guy getting beat up, and it turns out it’s Red Hood doing the beating and Dick blurts out “Semi-colons.”

That scene existed before the bookshop, before the whole Arkham plot, before I knew Damian and Jason would be teaming up, when all I had was “Mad Hatter messes with Dick’s head, he gets amnesia, JASON AND DICK DEFINITELY MEET IN AN ALLEY AND SEMI-COLONS ARE IMPORTANT AND AFTERWARD JASON FREAKS OUT BECAUSE HE THINKS HE BROKE DICK, idk happy ending.”

I love your love for this fic, it makes me so happy :) Thank you for asking!
