*FLAILS*

MINA!!!!!! THIS WAS SO...!!!!!!!!!!!! GOTHAM!!!!! GOTHAM, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! :D

I do not have enough flail or squee for this fic. Because it is too awesome!

The other half she carries him, cradles him like a baby in her arms, hushing his wails when he cries, loving whispers like the breeze at the docks.

GOTHAM!!!!!! *hearts her* Oh, Gotham Gotham Gotham!!!! :D

And Dick as a nightingale, hee! :p

Downtown Gotham is a grid of great stone buildings, their Gothic and Neo Classic facades interspacing with modern and contemporary works of steel and glass. Her streets are concrete, asphalt, the kingdom of cars and motorbikes, but there's also cobbled streets, brick paved streets, streets made for walking

Yay!! so glad you liked this, Star! I tried to evoke the Gotham of your fics here, have her be a mother and a lover to the bats... it was fun! I really liked writing Babs and Damian's sections. So glad you liked Jason's embrace and Dick as a nightingale! I know very little about birds, lol. Had to hit Wikipedia :P

Thanks you so much for playing with me with this meme and I'm very glad you liked it! :D thank you for reading!

I totally agree with Star - This was SO Gotham!!!

But when he runs -when he's dressed in darkness himself, black for her deepest shadows and the ties that bind him to his almost-father, and blue for his hope, his heart, a brilliant flame that's fueled by laughter, the careless tumble of strangers in her streets- he has no reason to wail, no reason to cry. He's free, flying, jumping without a net, a dangerous game that he never stops to think about twice.
The definition of black and blue colors (in connection with Dick) - I loved that!

She's still pliable and hopeful and Gotham loves her children, loves their dedication to hope.
Well said!

Jason dances a dangerous piece, balancing on the tip of the blade in her hands. Sometimes he falls down, and no matter if she reaches to catch him, he'll get cut. He'll bleed, self defense wounds pouring scarlet as he tries to hold on. But sometimes he doesn't fall, sometimes he balances there, at the tip of her blade, like an angel of death on the head of a pin. He wanders, he's looking for

So happy you enjoyed this! I'm sorry I'm so late replying, I've been running around and being sick! :(

I loved writing Jason's drabble the most, I think! it's odd, because I don't really know him that well, but he fits very well with the Gotham in my mind. Bruce and Selina were supposed to have their own section but ended up sharing the last one... with everyone else, lol. Gotham has permeated them to the point that she's a big part of who they are, I think!

Thank you so much for reading! I'm sorry I'm late to reply!

Oh, I'm sorry to hear you were sick. I hope you feel better now.
And don't worry about a late reply. It's totally okay. I know RL can be pretty hectic sometimes.
Have a good time. :) I'm looking forward to another of your amazing stories. :)
