Summary
Gotham is a city of faith, but not the kind you pray to.
Daphne Nazara was meant to be a harbinger of faith—a sacrifice, the very means by which they intended to purify the human soul. Now, taken in by Gotham’s protectors and drawn back into the shadows of her creation, she is forced to confront the faith that made her. Can she change her skin, or the leopard her spots? Is her repayment to the city, or to the creator?
Or, a vigilante’s story about survival, faith, and what it means to live in a body shaped by someone else’s belief.

Summary
When Aurora Carmichael receives a frantic call from her estranged mother, she leaves Metropolis and the life she built under the guidance of Lois Lane and Clark Kent to return to Gotham. She arrives too late—Georgia Carmichael is murdered in her private lab, and Aurora becomes the first witness to a crime that shakes Gotham’s elite.
Now responsible for her two younger sisters, Aurora is thrust back into the city she swore never to return to. Estranged heiress. Award-winning journalist. Survivor of war zones. She’s more than Gotham’s social circle remembers—but they’re about to find out.
Assigned to the case is Detective Richard Grayson, Gotham’s golden prince and Bruce Wayne’s heir in all but name. To him, Aurora is just a witness at first—fragile, unpredictable.
As Aurora begins unraveling the clues her mother left behind, she finds herself caught between Gotham’s glittering lies, dangerous secrets, and a murder that is far from random. And standing at her side, whether she likes it or not, is Richard Grayson.

Summary
[FULLY RE-EDITED AS OF 29/04/2026!]
Billionaire Bruce Wayne and Dr. Yvonne Thomas were just two individuals united through an arranged marriage of convenience. Yvonne thought married life to him was rather peaceful at first, but months after their wedding, both Yvonne and Bruce find themselves in misunderstandings, misadventures, unravelling secrets of the past, and swimming in a pile of endless adoption papers and handling a bunch of wayward children (except for one Jason Todd; he’s an angel).
(No one dies, I promise! A feel-good romance!)
(while i did keep the original plot and outline, almost every chapter of this fic has been heavily edited. It's maybe 70% different (or more) from the first edition i published in 2023, so feel free to give it a reread!)
