Many thanks to blindflower for her excellent beta work on this story--I futzed with it after she was done with it so any mistakes are my fault. Hope everyone enjoys the story!
Story: Nemesis
Author: me_ya_ri
Rating: R at most
Configurations: Bruce/Tim
Warning / Themes: AU, Tim is three years younger than Bruce, identity porn, angst, mistaken identities, criminal empires, Ra's al Ghul as Henry Ducard, but not much else.
Word Count: Approx 15,400 words
Summary: When Bruce comes back to Gotham after his seven year journey around the world, he expects that things will have changed. He's changed after all so Gotham will have too. But he discovers that far more has gone wrong during his absence than he thought could have, including the one person he thought would wait forever for him having moved on in strange and unexpected ways.
Tim has changed during his absence, becoming someone completely different from the boy that Bruce fell in love with. Instead of the steadfast ally he expected Bruce now has a perfect nemesis determined to destroy him utterly.
Finding their way back to each other's sides through the maze of lies and mistaken identities threatens to take more time than they have available as another, much more serious, enemy lurks in the background waiting to destroy not just them but all of Gotham as well.
