The story is picking up the pace! Oh god I can't wait and how the fuck Bruce recognised her! She is in for a ride, when she gets home
He recognized her because he's a simp for her 😉 The next chapter is going to be good!!

Today’s drabble is for Strangers in the night! 
@silentprincess17​‘s request was: SITN Zelink on a day trip out with Tetra? (Maybe… Zelda is pregnant too? 👀👀) (also good luck doing that in 200 words lol)
In case you haven’t read the whole story yet, start here! 'Strangers in the night'
The drabble is under the cut to avoid spoilers for the people who start now. Thanks at @snidgetwidgeon​ for betaing!
Zelda's back hit the mattress, and she spread her arms with an 'oof'.
"What's up?" Link chuckled as he joined her. "Shopping too exhausting for you?"
"Maybe," she mumbled, pulling him in her arms. 
"Well," he nibbled at her neck, "since it’s our belated honeymoon, we could stay in bed."
"Give me ten minutes, ok?" She smiled lazily at him. "Could you look if there’s roasted tree nuts in the minibar? And bring me the shopping bag?"
"You just had a bagel," Link eyed her in amusement before he got what she requested. "What have you bought? A souvenir?"
"Kind of. Take a look."
Link pulled a colorful cloth from the bag. "Wow, it's soft. What is it? For Tetra's room?"
"No, it's for you." Heart beating fast, she sat up, cradling his face and whispering close to his ear, "It's a baby sling."
He stilled. 
Then, his pulse thumped against her palm equally fast. "You’re pregnant," he whispered back, "I'm going to be a dad."
"Link, you are already a dad," she smiled softly.
He hugged her tight. "Yeah, I mean a baby dad! Oh, Zelda!"
She wasn't allowed to leave his arms for the rest of the day.

I read chapter 9 immediately when I got home from work before getting in the shower. I had planned for an essay. Now I am out of the shower, and I am so very tired bestie.
Here are some thoughts.
Immediately giving all my chef kisses to Alfred and her. I loved their interaction in this chapter. I know Alfred grounded her, but having her there was very grounding for him. I love their bond so much. Alfred was totally scared when she told him that she doesn’t know if she can do this. Alfred of course understands what she means, but it still gave him a mini heart attack. Alfred needs to talk some sense into Bruce. Not like he’ll listen, but he’s also not listening to her. Also I need to riddler to wreck her shit. Not because I want something bad to happen to her (even tho I do….but I feel like you know what I mean) but because I feel like it would wake Bruce up. He’d be like “oh! This is what she feels like!” It would be an epiphany for him. Also Alfred hugging her as she was sobbing on the ground make my heart do all the things. It reminded me of Alfred when Bruce had his meltdown after he thought she died. 
I love that Gordon immediately responded to her text. He’s in this high stake situation from the outside, but he knows if he doesn’t answer she’s coming down. That’s probably why he immediately gave her the update on Batman’s condition. I can see an officer being like “what are you doing?” and him being like “nothing.”
I love how she threatens Bruce with violence when he’s hurt. That’s also how I show my love. Batman’s greatest enemies are teenagers and buses. I love how she’s so mad at him, and she lets him know. But she’s also like “love you, glad you’re alive.” that’s something someone should regularly tell my wet sock Bruce. He needs to hear it 3 times a day. Once at breakfast, once at lunch, and once at dinner. He also needs to eat 3 meals a day.
Predictions? Yeah bestie. She’s involving herself now. No ifs ands or buts about it. Sorry Brucie Boo, you can’t just get blown up and expect to do it on your own. She’s not allowing it. However I personally need the riddler to mess with her. I love angst and that would be hella angsty.
Love ya lots!
🦇
also I know I mentioned before what type of cat dad Bruce would be, but could you imagine Alfred dealing with a cat? I feel like at first he would be mildly annoyed. He’d grow to love the cat though. Cats jump on everything. They give zero fucks. Alfred would be like “this cat needs to stop jumping on the table. We eat here.” But then the cat would roll over or something on the table wanting pets and Alfred would be like “okay” and pet him (I picture their cat as a male) because he’s cute. I also feel like the little guy would knock over a priceless vase or something and Alfred being so annoyed at how little Bruce cares about the priceless item. Bruce would be like “it was ugly” and pet the cats head. Alfred would end up agreeing after Bruce leaves and also petting the cat.
ch 9 spoilers!
Hi bestie! Love how you said you were too tired for an essay and basically wrote one anyways 😂
I too loved Alfred & the reader in this chapter! I love exploring their relationship more. Love how it reminded you of Alfred & Bruce after the gala etc! I agree--reader probably needs to wreck her shit in order to get it through Bruce's thick skull 😂
Gordon's coworkers: who are you texting? Gordon hurriedly putting his phone away and having shifty eyes: no one! (We all know he loves y/n, this proves it I think. Secret besties!)
"My wet sock Bruce" gave me a good laugh 😂 but yeah, he needs to punched in the head while simultaneously having love affirmed for him tbh. Both at once. And then he needs a meal and a nap.
And omg Alfred as a reluctant cat dad! I love it! He would 100% be grumbling about cat hair being everywhere but then they'd catch him sneaking the cat treats or fresh fish/ chicken or something 😂 also now my headcanon is that Alfred buys stuff for the cat and blames either Bruce or y/n

Oh no, oh no, oh no no no! What have you done Shelby 😱😱😱 I'm scared. What the fuck is going to happen now?!

HEY BESTIE!! i’ve missed u! this summer has been very busy but i’ve been loving sitn so i wanted to write in an ask! 🫶🏼
obsessed with lena being like 😏 when she mentions batman… the dramatic irony!! i love that shit 😌
the way he calls her menace… 🤤 love it
overall, loved chapter 5 so much!!
the line in chapter 6 about b taking the extra contact lens and earpiece 🥺 wahhh that made me a little sad THEN the scene when y/n sees selina take it out!! 😭 ty for just making it a passing moment of jealousy tho! 🥲
“‘That’s why he recognized you. Just now. He was shouting in my ear, but–‘ Selina huffed a humorless laugh.” god i love this because also the fact that he recognized her so quickly even with the disguise and stuff (ofc lena also did but i just really love the fact that he could recognize her anywhere 🥰)
I LOVE the way you wrote about the senses and all of her memories of the iceberg lounge now that she’s back
i also love that she’s going to help selina now too! i’m so excited for chapter 7!! (i’m v excited for her to see bruce again right after that)
ok so song recs!! young and beautiful by lana del rey has always had such a bruce wayne vibe to me! then for a taylor swift rec, dancing with our hands tied! the lyrics: 🥲 the music: 💃🏻
how have you been?! i hope you had a relaxing beach vacation! (and hope you enjoy your next one 😉)
🖤
Hi bestie!! I've missed you! How's life? Get anything else published? 😉 Also how's the job? (Or was in an internship?? Damn now I can't remember sorry!! 😩)
I love writing in little teases where people are like "ha you have a crush on Batman!!" but they have no idea. It makes me giggle to myself 😂 (Like Gordon's comment in the motn epilogue!)
Also yes I only wanted it to be a passing moment of jealousy!! I hate love triangles tbh so I'm doing everything I can to stay away from that. A little bit of jealousy is normal (especially because, hello, we've all seen Selina, she's gorgeous) but Bruce is such a simp for the reader it's obvious he'd never even look at Selina that way! And we can tell he's a simp because she's disguised and he only needed a split second to recognize her 😉
Ch 7 is a good one!! I want to say more because I'm excited but spoilers!
Those songs!! LOVE THEM BOTH. I love love love seeing your song recs. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it! That whole line about dancing through an avalanche in the Taylor song 👀
Also I've been good!! First beach vacation was very relaxing and very hot but ended with some weird and dumb family drama--but whatever! It was still a good time. I'm headed out on beach trip #2 on Tuesday! This one won't be relaxing because it's with my mom's entire side of the family 🥵 but my brother is here from Alaska so that's a plus!

shadows in the night is so good!!!!!! it’s getting so juicy now. i cant wait to see their confrontation! of course bruce will most likely be angry, but i think more than anything his feelings will be hurt. idk i just feel like bruce will be a little hurt by the fact she didn’t tell him she was going back. ofc i understand why she didn’t tell him, but i’m not so sure bruce will understand.
Thank you!! But yes-- it only gets juicier from here on out 😉

It’s me coming in hot with another essay. My brain may be frazzled but let’s begin.
I hate when I’m trying to focus on something and people are talking it’s rude. I can picture her trying to focus over this paperwork and trying with everything in her not to get annoyed at the disruption but also trying to tune them out because she wants to know what’s going on so bad. I love how she’s so flabbergasted at how the killer knew he would figure that out. Honestly the riddler would be super bummed if Batman was an idiot. I mean, he is but he isn’t.
I love the way he kissed her after she helped him get dressed. Chefs kiss! I also love how the mention of Gordon being there didn’t make her feel much better. That makes sense. As much as she trusts Gordon she’d feel better if she was there too. I like the mention of how much Bruce was enjoying it. He was obviously upset that someone had died, but yeah, throughout the movie he had a weird penpal. That should’ve been a sign to Bruce to go out and make some friends. Excited about a killer’s creepy riddles? You spend too much time inside. Touch some grass.
I love that her idea for trouble is a safe word, something quick and easy, and Bruce makes a joke “how about oh shit, it’s a trap.” Chefs kiss! I would love to hear him say that with his Batman voice. It would be so funny. I’m a big fan of how both her and Alfred know this is worse. This is the first time he’s been addressed directly. The first time someone has actively sought out Batman’s attention.
So soft for Bruce agreeing to come back as a ghost for her. Mush for Alfred’s “I’m just reminded what a blessing to our lives you’ve been, is all.” CHEFS KISS BABY. So soft. Alfred loves her so much, he loves that she saw good in Bruce, and she’s helped Bruce see good in himself. Her scoffing at emotion? Same.
I love that she got Bruce to get a new chair. I imagine him with some clanky metal chair that is slightly lopsided on one side with a book underneath.
Skipping ahead a bit because I’ve gotta head to bed soon, I loved the riddlers funny bits in the movie. The thumb drive thing? Absolutely hysterical.
My last few thoughts are gonna be bulleted
-Big fan of the return of Bruce’s pov. I love that rage consumed him when the iceberg lounge and the penguin was mentioned. I bet it still takes everything in him not to beat the shit out of that man. He’s caused many nightmares for the both of them. He wants to give him some nightmares of his own.
- I love the interaction between the two of them. Bruce was waiting for the chance to beat the shit out of him. Even when they were talking semi-civilly it took everything within Bruce not to beat the fuck out of him.
- Of course Bruce thinks Selina is the other vigilante and not his fiancé. He’s in for a shock. Poor little bat.
Predictions? Let’s see—Bruce is going to tell Selina that she’s the other vigilante and she’s gonna be like “I’m a vigilante but not the other one.” Meanwhile she’s gonna be watching from the Batcave like “oh shit.” I really hope she doesn’t get jealous of Selina. Personally, I think the two of them would get along over how stupid Bruce is. Also they’d get along because they don’t come from rich backgrounds.
Shelby chapter 4 was amazing, and I can’t wait to explore the rest of this story. If I can’t do long essays I’ll just pop by with a list of thoughts. Much love!
🦇
also the second job has been good so far. I’m only there Saturday-Monday, so I’m hoping I’ll adjust to how tired I’ll be in the beginning of the week.
also also sorry for the family drama at the end of your vacation.
Yay another essay!! Hi bestie! My brain is frazzled too post-vacation so we're in the same boat (too much extroverting for this introvert)
Yeah the reader is like "how'd he know you'd be smart enough??" which is a valid question 😂 I imagine she's only pretending to work, to try and be productive while the people with the brains for riddles work, but she's trying to keep up with what's going on too
We love a good domestic moment! But yeah she 100% would rather be his backup. She's invested in keeping him alive--probably more so than he is in keeping himself alive! Bruce does need to touch some grass. I definitely felt like in the movie he was having a good time solving shit even as it got more dangerous and complicated tbh!
These two really share one working brain cell and I really enjoy writing moments with them tossing it back and forth, like the safe word part 😂 But yes she and Alfred are on the same page here! They're more wary than Bruce is! And I can't help but include some soft moments with Alfred. Poor man needs some love in between all of Bruce's "you're not my real dad" moments in the film yikes
The reader is quietly changing things in Bruce's life to make them better without him realizing! I love throwing in little details like that with the chair so I'm glad you noticed!
I can't help but do Bruce's POV. I love this emo man. I had to make him have angsty motn-plot-related thoughts with the Iceberg Lounge. I was excited for it!
Poor little bat is right! I too think Selina and the reader would bond over how stupid Bruce is tbh!
Yay the job is going good! Rest up and keep caffeinated!
Also yeah the family drama was over something dumb but thankfully everyone apologized etc!

Me being excited but increasingly nervous/dreading as Ch 4 goes on and definitely my reaction when I realized he was going to the Iceberg Lounge AGAIN BUT AS BATTINSON 👀🦇😤

The butternut squash thing is one of those lines that just like....fell into my head 😂 I'm glad it made you laugh! I have to keep the moments of levity where I can while shit starts to hit the fan with the movie events!

Shelby bestie, here we go. My first official essay of SITN
First off…those poor bats. They’ve finally relaxed after her return and then Bruce comes roaring in. How inconsiderate of them to not let these bats rest. If I was a bat I’d be pissed.
I know Bruce said that he could hear her nervously chewing, but I feel like he just knew that she’s nervous. Hell, he probably knew she was nervous before even arriving in the Batcave. Bruce has spent a lot of time studying her. He definitely knows what she’s feeling before she does sometimes. Love is funny like that.
Also fun fact—There are some studies that show the longer a couple has been together the more they begin to act like each other. Idk if shared trauma, like these two have, makes the process faster or some shit. Either way, poor Alfred.
I love that she dubbed his playlist “moody writing.” I wonder if he knows that. If he does he definitely have a small chuckle while affectionately rolling his eyes. It makes sense that part of the process to becoming Bruce again is engaging in things that shape a person—like music. I love her commentary while watching his night back. “You’re so dramatic.” Girl, you’ve got that right.
The news casting. Oofta. Her and Bruce were definitely not expecting it to mention his parents. I love that they reacted in the same way—them both freezing (chefs kiss). They were both thinking about different things. I imagine she was feeling anger (for bringing up Bruce’s tragedy) and concern for Bruce. Bruce…in this situation it’s hard for me to get into his mind. He’s thinking and feeling a million different things at once. I’d imagine it’s hard for him to pinpoint any single emotion, feeling, or thought.
I just feel for Bruce. He’s definitely going through retraumaization at the mention of his parents on the news—and he definitely went through it earlier at night with the mention of the son discovering his father, and then with him seeing the son himself. I just wanna wrap him up in a nice fuzzy blanket and protect him.
Side note—people being retraumatized because of media coverage is something I’m incredibly interested in learning more about.
Alfred! My man! I love him and his little juice. I know he feels bad about not bringing her juice. I can feel it in my bones. I love the description of her looking at the juice suspiciously. I too sometimes look at food and beverages suspiciously.
I love that she’s trying to lighten Bruce’s mood while they’re going through the footage after the mention of his parents. It may have gotten him out of his head a for a bit, the comment of “nerd” and I’m sure he appreciates that.
Skipping a bit ahead to another classic Alfred and Bruce fight. Them fighting just breaks my heart. With Alfred’s comment to Bruce of it “not being long until he has nothing left” I feel like he was, in a way, thinking about her. Alfred knows she loves Bruce and is in it for the long haul, but he’s seen what her not being in his life temporarily did to him. He doesn’t want to risk that happening again—in any way—like her leaving. Which Alfred knows she would never do. Also him being like “I don’t care what happens to me.” Bruce, my guy, you little fucker, you gotta start caring. You’re getting married. You really want to make her a widow? I love the small interaction her and Alfred had after Bruce left. She’s trying to look out for Alfred by making sure Bruce apologizes and I love that.
Skipping ahead again because I took a sleeping pill that’s kicking in. Bruce standing up for her against Wayne Enterprises? Chefs kiss! I know Alfred, in his head, was being like “you tell them Bruce! Stand up for your girl!” While simultaneously panicking because “Bruce wtf are you doing? That’s impolite!” Bruce knows she’s not with him for his money, but these morons don’t. I love that Bruce just wants to give her Wayne Enterprises. Chefs kiss! A small part of it is because he doesn’t care about it, and he doesn’t want to deal with it. A much larger part trusts her with it more than he trusts himself. He knows his family’s enterprise would be in good, trusted, safe hands with her.  I love that Bruce wants to spite them. I too, try to do things out of spite.
The ending scene? CHEFS KISS! I love that he’s like “you need to sleep.” That’s definitely the pot calling the kettle black. She knows it, and he definitely knows it. I’m glad he agrees to also get some sleep. I wonder what she would’ve threatened him with if he was like “nah, I’ll stay awake.”
Do I have any predications? Not currently unfortunately. Maybe I’ll dream some up. If I do I’ll drop an ask and let you know.
Side notes: I feel like Alfred definitely knew she did not eat at the restaurant. I love that she went to bed after drinking coffee. Sometimes I nap for hours after drinking it, and I’m like “I got you to wake me up a bit, not to put me to sleep.” I feel like I’ve mentioned that before but I can’t remember.
Chapter 3 was a delight and I’m glad I got to write an essay for it. It feels weird writing an essay again. Much love!
🦇
also I start my new job on Sunday!!!!
Finally answering this (after posting the next chapter OOPS)
First, how has the new job been?? You've been there almost a week! I know you said you were familiar with things already so that's good! Are you getting enough sleep or still pounding the caffeine?
Yeah the poor bats though....They really need to relocate. I'm sure Bruce alone puts them through it, nevermind everything the reader and Alfred do too.
Also, as someone who has been with their significant other for almost twelve years, we 100% act like each other. Sometimes we joke that we groomed each other (even though we're the same age, it's funnier in context than it sounds I swear) because we're so similar! So of course Bruce and y/n are spending tons of time together now that they're actually together and they can pick up on each other's moods etc way better! Even poor, emotionally stunted Bruce can!
You're right though, the idea of media coverage and trauma would be such an interesting study. Someone needs to do this!
But yes, the whole movie to me is about Bruce having his past drudged up and being re-traumatized and spiralling out of control. So obviously, I'm trying to play to that angle along with the added trauma of the events of MOTN!
Alfred. My guy. Poor Alfred and his rejected juice just trying to do the right thing by Bruce! I had to make her say something, because Bruce was being a dick--at least after MOTN he's in a bit of a healthier headspace than he canonically is in the actual movie! So I had to include a little scene where he admits to being wrong!
The meeting with the accountants was immediately something I wanted to include when I decided to do the sequel. In my mind I was like, what would make the accountants in my MOTN universe freak out? Naturally, the idea of a prenup, protecting the comapny and its shares, etc came to mind. As someone who also does things out of spite (if you ever tell me to stop something I'll do it at least once more out of spite), this scene wasn't really hard! It felt natural to have Bruce be 1) self-sacrificial in a way with his money/ company and 2) looking for a fight over y/n
I loved seeing the essay format again!! But I definitely understand if I don't get anymore, you're busier now! So don't feel any pressure to send them!
Hope you enjoy ch 4!

Shelby I haven’t been on my phone all day, I was about to fall asleep and I was like “there’s an update” now I’m half asleep and writing a small list of things I enjoyed because holy shit I’m sleepy and I haven’t been sleeping enough lately. Fuck. Okay.
-I love that she’s still giving Bruce shit about how they first met. I absolutely adore it. He regrets that piece of information and it amuses Alfred endlessly.
-I love how worried she is about him and how much she just want to protect him. It’s soft. I’m soft. Chefs kiss!
-Of course she made extra copies of the Batmobile key. I love that it’s not just a single copy. Copies. She has multiple. They’re hidden. Bruce wants to find them and hide them from her. Like elf on the shelf but cooler. Chefs kiss!
-I love that she knows something bad is going to happen. It could just be paranoia—after traumatic events it’s hard to think things could go back to normal. It’s Gotham however and I imagine being paranoid in that city is very helpful.
-I love the glimpse into her Gotham Project. The staff, where they came from, who they are. All of it. Chefs kiss!
-Her and Gordon are besties. He won’t admit it, but they are. I imagine them having coffee and just talking about life and stuff. He knew if he mentioned anything about the mayor to her she’d be there before Batman. Chefs kiss!
-I love that his name from his work number is a simple dark circle emoji. Chefs kiss! So fitting. I wonder what his name is with his regular phone?
-Does Gotham have a crime problem? Yes, of course. Does it also have a mayor problem? Absolutely. It reminded me of that Phineas and Ferb meme nickel meme. She was probably like “if I had a nickel for every time the mayor was murdered I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?” Idk if you know the meme or not.
-OOFFTA I can’t wait for the angst that happens when she sees Bruce watching the footage back and she sees the boy. My heart! It’s gonna be soft. I bet Bruce will want to bottle up his feelings and she’ll be like “no.”
So far this story has been a gift, but that isn’t a surprise. Much love!
🦇
It’s time for my predictions—I think Bruce already knows someone is vigilante-ing other than him. Does he know it’s her? Probably on some level, but he denies it because he wants to think she wouldn’t put herself in harms way, and he also wouldn’t be able to see why she’d do it. When he meets Selina Kyle he’ll probably be like “it’s her.” When he finds out the truth boy will be heartbroken, angsty, and supreme emo.
Also idk if I’ve mentioned it or not but I can’t wait for the funeral scene. Idk if she’s gonna be in it, but I hope she is. I want her to interact with the penguin again, and I want her to at least kick him or something.
Also will we have some of Bruce’s pov in later chapters? I do love his emo mind.
Was this yet another instance of your sixth sense regarding updates? 😂
Also bestie you need to get some more sleep!! Especially before you start that new job! 😂
Bruce needs someones to give him shit. So obviously I'm having her give him shit constantly, but also constantly worrying about him!
Elf on the shelf but cooler 💀 yeah in my head she went ahead and had like....a stupid number of copies made. Like a dozen. And they're in increasingly random places 😂 One is probably actually in the Batmobile but Bruce doesn't expect that
And yeah I think her trauma lends to the paranoia! Things are getting worse despite the big Maroni bust, despite everything that happened in MOTN--so she feels like something in behind this even though it's mostly just Gotham being a shit place 😂
Her and Gordon are totally besties! Their dynamic is something I'm enjoying and can't wait to develop more. I love the idea of Gordon as almost a grudging mentor figure. My headcanon (for my own fic lmao) is that Gordon goes by the GP to see her but also to keep an eye on things 😂 despite her having fancy Wayne-funded security
Yes!!! The nickel meme! That's perfect!! 😂
Ugh I'n so excited to share more. Hoping to post ch 3 Thursday or Friday! 🥰
Love seeing your predictions again!! Also, yes to Bruce POVs! 👀 Probably won't have as many as in MOTN but only because we have his POV in the whole film. But I'm definitely including some fun ones! And yes she'll be at the funeral! 👀
Thanks for the love bestie, get some sleep! ❤️

SHELBY
Omg my dumbass took another internet break and the first chapter was posted! I am so upset. I came back on today before bed, and I was like “any sequel news!” Yeah, homie. Big sequel news!
I legit can’t review shit because I have to be awake soon, and I should get a bit of sleep! That being said!!!!
-Yes to her sneaking out and doing what Bruce does. I honestly love her being like “I feel bad for lying to him BUT.” Like, go off queen! It makes sense that she wants to help women, especially those who have been drugged and taken advantage of.
-Soft for the interaction she had with everyone’s favorite father—Alfred. He’s keeping his mouth closed to Bruce about her nighttime adventures even though he shouldn’t. Bruce is gonna be so mad at him when he finds out.
-When Bruce finds out because that will eventually happen, I just know he’s gonna be emo and all angsty mad about it.
-Her and Gordon? My heart! Also the fact that she’s there so much? My heart! I love them.
-I’ve gotta talk about the return of my favorite straight couple (can I say that during pride?) ANYWAYS every interaction they have makes me soft. I just want to hug them both so much! I love that she’s like “I didn’t want to bother you with the trial stuff” (even though it’s a lie but that’s not the point) and Bruce being like “I wanna be there for you!” CHEFS KISS BABY. That’s right. I’m back, and the chefs kiss is back. This entire first chapter is a wet chefs kiss! I can’t wait for more, and I can’t wait to actually (hopefully) have time for a real essay with the next chapter.
Much love!
🦇
Whoops! I must somehow accidentally have a sixth sense for when you're off the internet...
So glad you enjoyed it! Yeah the reader being a badass vigilante in her own right is something I always imagined! Even before I planned on doing a sequel! I just knew with how I wrote her, she would definitely become one. There's not really any other option!
And poor Alfred, caught between his two chaotic orphan children. Bruce is going to freak the fuck out, is all I'm going to say 😂
Also when I was writing Gordon in MOTN he just kept sticking with me! So I figured they'll just work together like he does with Batman--except, obviously, he knows who she is.
Glad you give them a big chef's kiss because I love them too! I'm really trying to find the balance between them having a (mostly) healthy relationship and all the chaos the Riddler is going to cause. And I can't help but constantly making Bruce soft for her!
Also, how's your second job going? Have you been getting enough sleep? (I'm thinking no since you said "I have to be up soon" yikes) And I totally understand if you can't do full on essays! You've got a lot going on!

I love gut wrenching, heart breaking, tearing hair out scenes, but if it involves Selena (I love her but not when someone tries to take what’s mine ✋) I can’t and won’t control myself 💀
Totally get that 😂 but don't worry, it will be a non-issue in SITN!

You started the series🥺 what a surprise! I'm really excited for what's to come, but I'm also sad. Because Bruce is going to kiss selina, isn't that cheating 🥺 BRUCE IS GOING TO CHEAT ON ME😭😭😭 also your post is not showing up in the tags.
I just couldn't wait any longer!! 🥰 And it's kind of a spoiler but I loathe cheating plots & love triangles so I promise I'll handle that whole thing well & make sure it's all resolved!
Also goddammit, why does tumblr hate me?! 😭 I knew this post was flopping!
Anyone have any advice on how to make it show up in the tags? I can't remember what I did to fix it last time this happened!
