The Clock Strikes Twelve by medie (PG-13)
Fandom: DC UNIVERSE: BATMAN NOLANVERSE
Pairing: Gen; Rachel Dawes
Length: 1,145
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: Fanfiction Index
Why this must be read:
Because canon dealt Rachel Dawes a harsh hand, and what's the point of fandom if not to fix the mistakes of the original source, give layers to seemingly one-note characters, or in the case of this story give a female character who many might dismiss as "just a love interest" a very satisfying ending.
She wakes to a brand new Gotham. The news plays Harvey's 'memorial' and Leslie tells her the truth.
"It's over then," she says. The weight of it presses down on her. If she could run, she would. She remembers her parting words to Alfred. She looks at Leslie, wanting to ask how she keeps doing this, but she can't. Not without betraying Bruce's secret and she won't do it. She's done enough already.
Leslie smiles, a quick, wry twisting of her lips. Her tone is knowing as she says, "My dear, it's only just begun."
