To Serve and Protect by ragdoll987 (PG-13)
Fandom: DC UNIVERSE: BATMAN NOLANVERSE
Pairing: Jim/Bruce
Length: ~23,000
Author on LJ: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
Author Website: Fanfic List
Why this must be read:
In canon, Jim Gordon trusts Batman for no other reason than his own blind faith that he will be there for himself and Gotham City should the need arise. [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] uses this core relationship, along with excellent characterizations, and wonderful storytelling, to bring Batman and Gordon together in one of my favorite pieces in the fandom. This multi-chapter story (taking place after the events of The Dark Knight) deals with the after effects that the Joker's rampage left on one Jim Gordon; his marriage, his relationship with Batman, and the left-over corruption on the force who will try and kill him once and for all.
Gordon moved in a little further, something dinging in the back of his mind but it wasn’t until he was nearly at the center of the room that he realized there were no windows on this level. He looked about him, puzzled, but no, this level was all concrete, maybe intended as a parking garage, and completely without access aside from the one door. The only way someone could have stolen onto this level was by getting in on another one first.
But dispatch…
There was a moment when everything seemed to move slower than it had seconds before. He looked up, his mind still full of questions like what, and who, and where. He had an instant to turn full circle, his assessing glance taking in Ramirez with her gun lowered, eyes following him intently, almost sadly-
The rookie – what was his name? – right behind her, gun not lowered at all, rather held aloft in a very familiar position, and attached to the barrel, a very professional, very efficient looking silencer-
And behind them both, a shadow moving within a shadow on the stairwell-
There was a moment of a confusion, then comprehension, then noise.
Then pain.
Then nothing.
