Locked Inside the Façade by Esther-Channah (Teen)
Hi! I'm Katt, AKA ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xenokattz on LJ and I'll be driving the van for DC Comics this month which is kind of strange considering 2 years ago, I was a hard-core Marvel girl. Alas, I was partially seduced to the Dark Side. I love plotty fics and stories with family as the central theme. As such, most of my recs will be gen.
I'm slightly obsessed with the Supers, quickly followed by both the Arrows and the Bats. I firmly believe Kon-el will return, Lois and Clark as cute as rabid bunnies, Cissie King-Jones is Ollie's biological daughter, and one day Bruce will turn into this.
Speaking of the Bats, let's start with a nice, juicy plotty fic.
Fandom: DC COMICS
Characters: Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, Jim Gordon
Pairing: Dick/Barbara if you squint but it's not a shippy fic.
Length: ~ 30,000

Why this must be read:
While on duty as Batman, Bruce loses two of very important people in his life resulting in severe injuries and a complete mental shutdown. Unfortunately, this all happens just as the Gotham City Police come around, the GCPD whose rule is to arrest the vigilante known as Batman on sight. While his identity is blown out of the water, the remnants of his family scramble to protect Gotham in Batman's name as well as search for Bruce's would-be murderer. Because while he's stuck in the hospital, there are more attempts on his life.
Esther-Channah seamlessly combines a detective story with a family drama. She shows how quickly and unquestioningly the Bat-family hold each other up especially in times of trouble. It's a perfectly working dysfunctional family dynamic which is somehow all the more poignant. I inhaled this in one sitting then had the sequel for dessert.
Locked Inside the Facade
The sequel: Lost to the Night.
