    Summary

    “You’re all right,” Frank reassured him. “I had brain worms to begin with.”

    Gerard laughed so hard, Frank felt kind of proud of himself. “I know,” he gasped, wheezing for air. Strands of black-and-teal hair flopped into his face as he gripped the edge of the table for support. “Shit, sorry, I just had a really vivid mental image of what your self portrait would look like.” He gave Frank a sidelong look. “Swearing is definitely okay when it’s just us, right?”

    Frank tried not to think about the familiarity of the words. Just us. “Yeah, duh.” He raised an eyebrow, feeling a smile tug at his lips.

    ***

    When Frank meets Gerard, a 20-year-old art prodigy-turned-TA in his senior year of high school, sparks fly as an unusual friendship is formed. They may have bonded over a mutual, hilarious hatred of Romeo and Juliet, but Frank's not laughing anymore when spring rolls around and Gerard is climbing up a rope ladder to his balcony in the middle of the night. Then Gerard quits his job, citing romantic complications, and the only thing Frank knows is that he knows nothing at all.

    Summary

    Edward doesn't believe in god. But when he sees the way the morning light grazes Bruce's angular yet peaceful face as he sleeps as if it was made to fit against it, he sees divinity. He sees a savior, someone who can pull him from all of the shit he's up to his waist in and incite justice on his behalf.

    But Bruce Wayne was not a savior; he was barely more than a boy scared shitless on what to do next at all times.

    Or Edward Nashton, former prostitute, has to choose between getting his ultimate revenge or staying with his new lover Bruce Wayne, and all Bruce knows is that he'll feel better once he catches the Riddler.
