    Summary

    A dangerous serial killer is on the loose. How will Bruce catch them when he can't remember what happened only moments ago?

    Bruce Wayne wakes with anterograde amnesia—twelve minutes of retention, then reset. He can't form new long-term memories, can't remember the last conversation, can't verify his own identity beyond what documentation tells him.

    Clark Kent loves him anyway. Loves him forty-seven times over, each reset a new choice to trust evidence instead of memory.

    But when renowned neuroscientist Dr. Harrison Wells is murdered using the same extraction methodology that killed twelve others, all evidence points to Bruce Wayne. Fingerprints on the equipment. DNA under the victim's fingernails. Nine hours of missing time he can't account for.

    Bruce doesn't remember killing him.

    But he doesn't remember not killing him either.

    Told in dual timelines—color chapters moving backward through Bruce's life with amnesia, black-and-white chapters moving forward through the investigation that preceded it—RETROGRADE is a psychological thriller about identity without memory, trust without verification, and what it means to be Batman when you can't remember being Batman.

    Summary

    People disappear in Gotham every day.

    Batman finds them. That’s the job.

    But information has a price, and sometimes it requires becoming someone else entirely. A different face, a different name, a different life - Bruce is good at it. To him, wearing a disguise is almost easier than being himself.

    This case should have been simple.

    It stops being simple the moment a rookie reporter from Metropolis decides that Matches Malone is exactly the kind of source he’s been looking for.

    Summary

    Clark heard it just as he stepped out the front entrance of The Daily Planet’s building. The sun had already set, a chilly autumn breeze dragging through his coat. It had been a late evening for him, catching up on drafts for his next few articles before some other emergency stole his attention from his work.

    “Kal-el.”

    He straightened, perking towards Gotham. Something cold gripped his heart as he listened for that familiar heartbeat. The voice was unmistakable; low, rough, and steady, one that grounded Clark almost as quick as Ma’s. In battle, hearing it usually meant there was a plan, that Clark could worry a little less about details; because the man he trusted the most – with his life and the lives of his family – had it under control. It soothed Clark when he faltered, bolstered him when his strength wavered, and steadied him when he teetered on the edge of sensory madness.

    And that voice sounded afraid.

    Clark was suited up and hurtling through the air towards Gotham before Bruce whispered again.

    “Kal–” came his quiet gasp. “I’m sorry.”

    Summary

    Jouno was once a man who would live life on the edge - one-night stands, tempting any man with a gun to shoot it at him, taking a list of substances longer than he was tall.

    It had come up to him at a point, giving him the death penalty. Jouno sincerely believed he had repaid this debt by becoming a Hunting Dog, but whatever higher power existed out there was clearly not done with him.

    He had a son. His drunken one-night stands had led to a child, and now he was the sole person left who could provide for the child that he only just learned existed this morning.

    Jouno was a better man now, he could become a father. But god, he wanted to melt into a puddle as he heard his boss laugh at his misery.

    Summary

    Ratio kept his touch clinical as he listened to organs and poked at reflexes. Aventurine was the perfect patient, doing as told marionette-pliant.

    “It all looks fine,” Ratio declared. “Do you have any questions before we end?”

    “Will you fuck me? On the examination table? It would be hot.”

    “Questions about the procedure.”

    “No.”

    “In that case—” Ratio took off his plastic gloves and disposed of them.

    “I’m being dismissed, I get it.” Aventurine slid into his coat like it was made of lead. He stopped on his way out. Back turned, he said, “I’m glad it’s you.”

    “I’m not sure I understand—”

    “I’m glad you’re the one who will be opening my chest and taking my heart out. I know it will be safe in your hands.”

    ♠︎♣︎♥︎♦︎

    In which: Aventurine receives a stone heart transplant.
