Fanfic / Headcanons Shamelessly Promoting my fanfic.
​
Hi! So I've been working on a Batman fanfic for a while now, and I figured I'd try my luck here because I genuinely want more people to read it and tell me what they think.
I wrote something I want to read.
It's called Where Do Lost Birds Go?
The story mainly follows Jason Todd and an OC , a deeply questionable woman with ties to the Joker and enough psychological issues to give the entire Batfamily a run for their money (which is saying something).
It's a pretty long, slow-paced story with a lot of psychological horror, mystery, dark humor, and morally questionable decisions. There's romance, eventually, but it's a VERY slow burn, and honestly, I have way too many other things I want to explore before we get there.
I'm particularly interested in the Batfamily's dynamics and how genuinely dysfunctional they can be. I love these characters, but dear God, they need therapy. All of them.
I've been developing this story since I was a teenager, life got in the way then med school quit most of my hobbies and I've picked it up again recently, although I've rewritten most of it because teenage me had some... interesting ideas. 👀😬 It's still a work in progress, and I have absolutely no idea how long it's going to end up being. Probably ridiculously long.
Anyway, I'm not going to pretend this is everyone's cup of tea. It gets pretty dark, and My OC isn't exactly someone you're supposed to agree with all the time.
But if you enjoy character studies, morally complicated characters, psychological mysteries, and Jason Todd being an emotionally constipated disaster, you might like it!
Also, PLEASE feel free to criticize it. I'm genuinely interested in hearing people's opinions, especially regarding characterization and continuity. I'm trying to keep the canon characters recognizable, and I'd rather someone tell me when something feels off than just politely agree with everything.
Here's the link if anyone wants to give it a shot:

And if you do read it, come talk to me about it. I have so many things I want to discuss, but I can't spoil my own story. 😊
