    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    Jason’s mind was reeling. “Someone can see us?”

    He’d tried everything he could think of to get Bruce and Alfred’s attention since he became a ghost. But even physically floating through their bodies hadn’t elicited a response.

    She laughed. “Crazy, ain’t it? I don’t know if he’s a meta or what, but all the ghosts are talking about him.”

    If there was someone out there who could see ghosts… then maybe…

    Jason had to find him. “Who is he?”

    “He’s known by many names… Veil Walker… Reaper… Half-Pint.”

    Jason sputtered. “Half-Pint??”

    “That’s the wildest shit. It’s a kid. Like a middle schooler.” Delilah threw out one of her hands. “And he’s out here wandering Gotham every night and chatting up the dead.”

    Jason could only stare at her. Processing. A kid who could see ghosts... What was this? The Sixth Sense: Gotham edition??

    ———

    Jason was murdered by the Joker. Tim can see the dead. They find each other.

    Summary

    When Flame decided to become a hero, he knew it would come at a price. Starting over on his own, after hitting rock bottom, would be his hardest battle yet. The worst loss wasn’t anything material, though. It wasn’t giving up his name, his sword, his everything, to have his identity revealed and criminal record expunged so he could be given a clean slate.

    No, the worst part was the people he left behind. People he would never be able to save, hero or otherwise.

    A hand clamped over his mouth, smothering an instinctual shout and yanking him back.

    “Don’t scream. I’ve got enough energy stockpiled to blow this whole building up. I’m sure you’ll survive, but all those civilians you care so much about now– Eh, they might not be so lucky.”

    Slowly, with no sharp movements, Flame looked over his shoulder. He just had to be sure this was who he thought it was.

    Wemmbu smiled. “Let’s talk, bro.”

    Really great. Especially since the last time he saw Wemmbu, he had almost died.

    Or: Imperial Fire Hero AU Angst. Flame’s past comes back to haunt him
