Summary
Gi-hun knew he was going to die, had accepted his fate, and then it didn't come. One of them had stepped on the button after all. Yet another lucky day followed by the suffocating weight of survival.

Summary
The facts are: he’s a broken human being, he likes me, Batman is an echo of some past trauma, and everything crystallized in this moment from this chemical mixture. He likes me. No matter how bad it gets, that’s an irrefutable fact. I’m crazy, but I’m lucid. I can say these big words like epistemology. I know how to justify a belief. If he didn’t like me, I would be dead or employed. The reasoning follows, he is capable of liking people.

Summary
It's a misplaced passion, not something meant for me at all, but it's the type of passion that always grips me. He's not my villain. I'm not his hero. It's the pass he's giving himself too, that this doesn't have to mean anything because I'm not him.
Lex Luthor has a business proposal for Bruce Wayne, and Batman has a theory.

Summary
After almost a year in Belle Reve, replaying the failure of Ultraman and everyone who worked for him over and over, the solution became obvious: insert more of himself and disregard everyone else.

Summary
This was meant to be one maybe 4k word short story, and now... Here we are.
Empire of Light is an exploration of In-ho's character and the way modern art and philosophy play a role in the visual language of the show and overarching themes. Through the final part of that, and the sequel, I explore what In-ho and Gi-hun represent to each other in more depth, and how that dynamic can change as they get to know each other as people.
Unexpected Answer is a more traditional narrative than Empire of Light, and is much less dense, but it is a direct continuation that needs the context of the former.
Completed before the release of S03, but I feel as if S03 retroactively makes it land harder.

Summary
My Arkham story + others in that same universe.
The sequels are chronological and reference prior events, so skipping around could cause mild confusion, but we're all comic fans here. We're used to that. Do what you want.
There's no ongoing plan, only ocassional one-shots that come about when I have ideas I wanna explore. You could consider this complete or ongoing, depending on your metric.- Words:
