FIC: Shadows in the night

[arch_schatten]

Took me forever to finish this, it didn't seem to reach a point where it could stop. I don't know why, it just kept going and going... everyone was grinning like a fool and I couldn't get the image of young Rusty/Danny/Bruce out of my head. Selina found that image very amusing too :)

This is for ilyena_sylph (I wanted to finish it when you were sick, but I'm

I have had baby-Bruce/Danny/Rusty in my head for EVER but I thought I was just completely insane and you gave it to me anyway!

Woo! I'm so glad I wasn't alone in that! when the bunny popped up in your meme, I kept seeing Selina oogling the too of them, slashing them up. Bruce and his whorishness! And once I started pairing the boys, there was no way Rusty would allow to be left out. I'm really glad you enjoyed it, it was so much fun to play with this at school, imagining George Clooney's sheepish smile X) though, it was a bit weird at the beginning, thinking of Clooney!Bruce (his Batman was atrocious but I think his Bruce was rather adorable :P) and Clooney!Danny...

*squeals of great glee*

Woman, your Selina-voice! It's too good! I risk ending up quuoting all of her!

Whoever was pulling the hit was a pro, and it made her insides tingle.

Meow! Oh, I love that about Selina, her predatory appreciation of skill.

it was definitely a he, for no matter how graceful and skilled the hit was, it lacked female finesse.

And oh, oh! The idea that just as martial artists would recognize each other's styles, that thieves would have a distinctive style--it's delicious!

He smiled mischievously, the corner of his eyes wrinkling as he did. “Isn’t any man worth knowing a little bit of both?”

I could so see George Clooney saying that! Who could resist a man with a self-deprecating streak...what a rakish sweetheart.

“I take you’re talking from experience.”

I suppose if you're handing out cookies for the betaing, that probably should be "I take it..." *waits for cookie*

“Your friend is trying to talk his way into keeping those bannerstones, Batman. I’m thinking about letting him if he is willing to

LOL, I feel so self-conscious writing Selina... I think of her as the Cat-tales version and sometimes as the comics version and she's so awesome! I would hate to screw her up. But she was a lot of fun in this, thinking the boys wee pretty together and apart. I guess it's not very 'real' that all my female characters are so okay with their sort-of-love interests being whores interested in men, but I like them cool and fun. ...Maybe I can write Talia!fic with her being horrorized that her Beloved is bedding an unworthy alien who won't bear his dynastic children! *cackles*

The idea that just as martial artists would recognize each other's styles, that thieves would have a distinctive style--it's delicious!I firmly believe that anything handcrafted has a signature all over it... that, and female and male logic and thinking get easier to spot the more specialized the activity is, I think. If Selina hadn't caught him and B had been late, Danny would have left and he still would have gotten his message across to Batman: he was out of jail

Oh dear me, how I'd love to see that. *grins a lot*

Eeee! This was fantastic! Dammit, if only I had a Catwoman icon for this occasion ...

First off, I just have to say that I almost started imagining this as Clooney!Danny Oceans meeting Clooney!Batman .. eeek! But then B turned into Christian Bale and it was all okay ...

I love your Selina, though. Seductive and sexy and playful all at once. Rrowr.

Whoever was pulling the hit was a pro, and it made her insides tingle.

I think Jen mentioned this line, but it's worth mentioning it again! I also love this about Selina ... Good vs. Bad is great and all, but ... you've got to admire pure skill every once in a while. Genius is genius, after all! *grin* And I loved her thoughts about patrolling and catching thieves, how it was almost more about the challenge of it than the morality. Selina is so much fun! And this:

It was always pleasant to scare a bunch of amateurs out of their minds for trying to pull a hit in her city -she snorted, surprised at her moment of territoriality. She was starting to sound like himLOL. I had

*uses her Catwoman icon in behalf of both* :D

I almost started imagining this as Clooney!Danny Oceans meeting Clooney!Batman .. eeek! But then B turned into Christian Bale and it was all okay ...

LOL, that's exactly what happened to me! *cringes* I kept thinking of Clooney!Bruce and Clooney!Danny, and my mind boggled. Clooney's Batman was atrocious, but his Bruce was so adorable! it eventually reverted to animated versions in my head, so my brain got better. Though, Bale/Clooney/Pitt? GUH.

I loved her thoughts about patrolling and catching thieves, how it was almost more about the challenge of it than the morality.Heh, I'm glad you like the ambiguity! I love that she's playing the hero, though I never saw her as a villain, you know? a rogue, yeah, but she never... she isn't crazy murderous. She's a thief! She's fun! She doesn't live in a world of black and gray -at least, not in my head- so ambiguos morality is just part of the package some days. I fret about writing her and getting it wrong, so mostly I don't! but she rocks, I

This was fantastic. ilyena_sylph let me know this was up and it's amazingly wonderful. I loved it.

[arch_schatten]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it, it was loads of fun to play with :)

[arch_schatten]

LOL, it's definitely full of posibilities! Danny/Bruce, Danny/Rusty, Selina/Danny, Bruce/Selina, Selina/Danny/Rusty, Selina/Danny/Bruce, Bruce/Danny/Rusty... you name it!

I wonder why do I always whore the ones I like so much, lol. I'm spreading the love? I am kind of tempted to write how it all began, don't feed the bunny!
