crack_van | What To Do With The Things On Your Hard Drive by Marcelo (PG)

Hi. I'm

rubynye, and I'll be reccing for DC Comics this month. My tastes lean towards Gotham-based stories, so my recs will tend towards those as well, but I've tried to include some stories from other settings and with other characters. The DC Comics fandom has oodles of wonderful fic; I could easily have prepared 24, or 36, or 48 recs for this month. I hope you find the ones I settled on useful and fun.

To start with, a short story with a long title.

Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: None, believe it or not.

dc_flashfiction produced many great stories. One of my favorites was this one. Many fans of Batman (most, I might even venture), have wondered what would happen if Bruce ever tried a different tactic in his War on Crime. So did Marcelo; then he wrote it down.

Excerpt: It was a combination of things.

It was Selina's reason to open her own community Center in the East End. "What I was trying wasn't working, so I decided to try something else."

It was the white hairs he had found in his head last morning.

It was his weekly analysis of Gotham's crime patterns, red curves that never fell.
