Hold Every Memory musings (and... kind of an announcement?):

Back in January, I wrote an incomplete scene from the SAINW side of things as I was puzzling over how I wanted to handle it and also working out their characterizations a little. They're ten years older, ten years stressed, ten years of hurt between them.

I decided not to finish that or write anything from the SAINW side, and stick solely with Don's point of view, for a reason -

The readers get to know as much as Don knows, and his brothers are not telling him the gory details. They're trying to protect him - what can he do, stuck on the other side? How much to tell him, how much would he stress out over events he can't possibly affect? Being in the astral plane is an escape for them, as well. Their reasons are many and complicated.

The audience gets to experience the same lack of information that Don does. They get to stew in that same uncertainty. Many readers know how bad it gets, but we're only a third of the way into that timeline, so how bad is it actually, right now? It's been fun reading comments where people's imaginations seem to be filling in the blanks. I love it a lot.

...but I know, I've been thinking about it pretty hard, actually. I have a rough timeline for all of it. And I had some inspiration while talking to @cadoodledoodleydoo the other night, and I think I know the sort of story I want to tell, now, if I were to really dig into what the SAINW crew has been up to.

I'm getting closer to being done with the Lou Jitsu oneshot. I'm thinking if I can piece together the Leo oneshot, that would be where Don really gets the inside scoop. And once those doors are opened, and Don and the readers know where things stand?

I might end up telling that story. A little detour from Don's head. Maybe.

As with all HEM fics, if I end up doing this I'm going to be yoinking a song lyric for the title, and I'm thinking this one will be from Pompeii by Bastille.

ERASE the plot of the whole series from your minds. they’re living a calm regular life and have their own jayviks to obsess over.

“Bruce doesn’t know how to cook” “Bruce doesn’t make his own bed” have you considered the possibility that Bruce knows how to do all of those things but lets Alfred do them anyway because if he doesn’t, the whole Manor falls apart?

Bruce lets Alfred make the bed because after the close call with Killer Croc last night it’s either crisp folded sheets pressed to perfection OR Alfred goes deep into the Gotham sewers with a rifle, a belt of flash-bangs, and 30 years of unresolved overprotectiveness.

let the man cook. literally, please let him cook something.

PnF Spirit Week 1: May 26th - Parental Units

Heinz and Charlene may have their share of troubles as a divorced couple, but no one can deny that they are good parents to Vanessa. A little bit overprotective at times, but what can one do, when their precious only child had entered puberty a bit too early for their comfort.

The daily planet runs a front page article calling superman the light of mankind

Cue the batfam launching a counter campaign in support of Signal,  the real Light of Mankind.

It starts as a joke but quickly derails into an all out war.
