Act Three: There's Always Room Chapter Three: A Way So Familiar "…Welcome to the club," Galatea was saying into the phone over the noise of the blender. Ice and Nyquil cemented into a thick, medicinal green slurry. "Listen, I've been thinking, and maybe you should tell him…" "Thinking!" said the pixie voice over the phone, "Yeah, thinking's good! You go d...
Author Note: Dear Reader, I hope you enjoy this 99% fictional story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I will warn you though, it is lengthy. But, I wrote it as if it were a multi course, gourmet meal. Each dish is more delectable than the last, bringing you to the best part, the dessert. This is a Summer Lovin Contest entry so if you love it be sure to vote...
"If thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee." F. Nietzsche "Be wary of evil, lest evil may harm you. But be terrified of love, lest love may destroy you utterly." R. Maurice Oh Hell! First there was light. Then followed sound in the form of a rhythmic thumping inside his head. After a moment of confusion, during which his bra...
Alice awoke in a warm fluffy bed, as if the mattress was made of feathers and cotton balls (which most likely they were). The aroma of old wood and cinnamon lingered in the air and Alice slowly but surely came too from her sleep. Rubbing her thighs together she could tell she was still in her nylons and her tea party attire. The gown felt comfy against her...

You see the cat slipping throug...
"That's A Question!!??" It had been a long, hot, dry and tiresome summer of study, classes, flight simulator time, flight time, tests and more tests, and then, when it seemed that we were just about finished with flight school, it would start all over again. As flight cadets we initially had no need of flight instructors, classes or flight simulator time, j...

Three weeks after Liz moved out, breaking up our ménage a trois, Penny and I were lying in a post orgasmic haze, having just spent the afternoon celebrating our eight year anniversary. Of course we didn't acknowledge the several months during which we had 'broken up' a few years ago. It had been a mere blip in the ongoing relationship. We were in the last...

This story takes place during the events of Arkham City, using the same characters and plot-line as the series, up until the start of the story ob...
