Author Website: For anything prior to 09/07/05, there's her website; for anything more recent, check her fanfic tag.
Why this must be read:
Because it's a beautifully crafted AU that makes you wonder just how important is Bruce Wayne, really? In canon, Babs Gordon became Batgirl before she'd met him, making her own costume and starting out on her own as a hero before making contact with Batman. In this story, Batman disappears before the two meet. Batman's dead, but the Bat still flies. Dick Grayson still becomes Robin, and Tim Drake still figures out who the Bat is by connecting Dick with Robin and working back. This story starts after he's found the Bat, and wonders: what happened to Batman?
