    Summary

    It has eaten humans on many occasions. It is not his only food source, as he will eat anything with skin, but in general, whether by chance of fate or otherwise, he has never eaten a human or an animal or anything that has a nest with young.
    Thinks of what happens to baby birds whose parents leave the nest never to return, and a twinge of discomfort makes him uneasy. If the caretaker of the human hatchling does not return by nightfall, the child will be cold and hungry, and will chirp to call its parents, but after a while, when the parents do not return, it will die of cold and hunger and dry up until there is nothing left.
    Look at the skin it has put on. He knows it must look the same as the childs human's keeper. Surely he won't know the difference. After all, it's meant to be that way.
    How hard must it be to raise a human hatchling? At least until it is able to feed itself.
    -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
    Or the story of how a skin-thief becomes a father, one child at a time.

    Summary

    When Jason died, Bruce immortalized on paper what grief refused to let him utter out loud, lest his loss become final and his defeat become permanent

    Years later, a revived Jason would find those books and slowly piece together the shattered fragments of who his father was before he lost him, while reckoning with the fact that he was loved in every right way (and it had not saved him... and perhaps, it was never meant to)

    And Bruce now has to reflect whether or not his inability to reconcile with uncontrollable changes in his son is brought upon by strategic bitterness or fear (or both, if god would allow it)

    Because ultimately, there is no version of their family's story where one is totally in the right or wrong. There is only love; ugly, misguided, but honest, true love between people who are doing the very best they could.

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne, interstellar bounty hunter, is trapped in a nightmare. Lost in the depths of space, abducted by aliens and held captive as a mindless beast. Powerless to resist the whims of the aliens or reason with them for his release, he is utterly trapped.

    Kal-el, a freelance journalist specializing in xenobiology correspondence, is in love. A surly little unclassified mammalian at the shelter he volunteers at has stolen his core. He’s never had a pet before and this creature has a history of servere behavioral problems, but he can’t let the poor thing stay at the shelter forever without trying to save it. How hard could exotic pet ownership be.
