Fics like The Graveyard Shift

The Joker thought that if he burned fire with fire, it would get rid of the problem. He thought that it would snuff out Gotham’s favourite son. Unfortunately, just like how Gotham draws you in and refuses to give you up: refuses to straighten out lives and let you leave town; how you leave only to find yourself standing back at the door, swearing it’ll be the last time. Unfortunately, despite all of the Joker’s intentions: the hair just grew back thicker. Gotham wouldn’t stand for what happened to Jason Todd. Jason Todd wakes up gasping for breath in an upholstered coffin. But in this life, Gotham doesn’t stand for the desertion and desolation of Her favourite son: in this life, She gives Her un-knighted protector a second chance some would argue he does not deserve. In this life, the people of Gotham notice when a boy crawls from the grave even if it’s a stormy night. Even if it’s Gotham, where weird shit goes to mingle. Or: the citizens of Gotham actually notice a boy breaking out the grave and do their very best to get Jason back to his dad. A tale of shitbox first-generation Ford Focuses, eBay lurking, family and how to survive in Gotham as a “regular” joe!
