Cat Tales by Chris Dee (R)

Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Batman/Catwoman
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Chris Dee’s Site.
Why this must be read:

Chris Dee has created a wonderful and captivating world for Batman and Catwoman, and made her reform believable. The progress from a solemn Batman and playful Catwoman skirting around their feelings to them getting closer and closer makes this a fascinating read. Catwoman is just the person needed to slap some sense into Batman, and he keeps her grounded as well.

All of Batman’s Rogues become so utterly human and sympathetic that, as time goes on, you feel like you should be rooting for them to win. And the situations everyone ends up getting into leave you breathless from laughter--one of many reasons why this is yet another of my favorite Batman/Catwoman stories.

This fanfic is wonderfully written, and includes enough twists and turns to satisfy any fanfic reader--just don’t let the sheer size of this epic frighten you away. As it is currently up to 46 stories long at last count--and still going--I will simply link you to the page of Fanfiction.net where you can find them all.



And from the pouch in her costume where she normally stashed her safe-cracking tools, Catwoman produced a copy of the Gotham Post, with a headline in second coming type screaming OFFICER DOWN! She paused while the audience took it in.

I’m sure you all saw this.

In the past year, according to this fine publication, I’m supposed to have been arrested, convicted, imprisoned, tortured, drugged, brainwashed, escaped, kidnapped, escaped again, captured again, driven mad, shot Gordon, forced his retirement, cut my hair, got a new costume, had plastic surgery and a breast reduction.

– And all while I’m cleaning my oven.

Well here I am folks. You can see for yourselves about the hair, the costume, and a-hem, my other physical qualities.

You can also see that I am not currently incarcerated. I hope that you’ll see from our talk tonight that the little chippie who’s supposed to have been caught, drugged, brainwashed etc. etc. just isn’t me.

As for my mental health, well, I’m not going to stand here in skin-tight purple leather and insist on my sanity, so – Hey, where’s my boyfriend in the fourth row? You there –


She pointed at Bruce, then posed with hands in the air like a gymnast after dismount.

Sweetie, what do you think, am I just as sane as you are?

196 eyes turned to Bruce. What could he do but nod. She nodded back, laughing at him or herself or what exactly he wasn't sure.
