What I’ve Read

People Ruin Beautiful Things by MsSolo - https://archiveofourown.org/works/19142626 – Tim Drake/ Ra’s al Ghul - This was delightful and mostly about Tim Drake getting an enforced vacation with some excellent dicking down from…. Well, the oldest man alive. It’s great and involves more horny poetry than I was expecting.

The Story of You (unfinished) by romiress https://archiveofourown.org/works/34318459 - This is a Clark Kent/Bane fanfic where Clark is not superman and Bane is working to overthrow the tyrannical government of his home country. It’s carefully written and I really enjoyed it – this re-read came bc I was revisiting some Bane-centric fanfic (this is so so little of it) and this cuts off in a place that is just long enough to count it as a novel so I'm going to.
