A Bird's Eye View: The Villain and the Hero's Love Affair
You're just a little birdie, minding your own business-flying around, dodging falling leaves, trying not to get too involved in the messes of the city below. But, oh, the drama! The masked hero and the brooding villain you've been watching for months-yeah, those two? They have a lot of secrets. The hero's perfect, obviously, saving the world and all that. But the villain? Oh, dear. By day, they wear a mask of evil and power, but you've seen what happens when the cape comes off. There's some serious darkness lurking in their private life-self-loathing, quiet pain, and way too many late-night mood swings. But don't worry, the villain's got it under control... or so they think. You thought their love story was one of those sweet "enemies-to-lovers" kind of deals, until you saw the truth from way up here. It's a mess. Betrayal. Anger. Love. Secret identities. A fight that's way more personal than you ever imagined. But hey, that's not your problem, right? You're just a bird. Except, well... Maybe you care. Maybe you're the one who's been flying around, wondering if their messy, secret love story will ever have a happy ending-or if one of them will end up on the wrong side of the city's skyscraper (literally). From your vantage point, it's a little too close for comfort, but hey-no one ever said love was easy, even for villains and heroes. Just try not to get caught in the crossfire, okay?

Robin in Peril : Book of Oneshots
Whether he's the crime fighting Boy Wonder, or the ward to billionaire Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson AKA Robin is always falling into danger. Kidnapped, Captured, tortured, traded, sold, violated, and more. But what does it take for him to get out of these dangers? Does this thirteen year old boy from the circus have what it takes? Or will he remain in peril until the worst happens? No, I am not *clinically* insane, I just really enjoy a good suspenseful scene and figured someone else must feel the same way. (apparently it's called whump) I'll try to add new stories frequently, but I'm not really the most reliable person out there. But I'll do my best! And suggestions of any sort are always welcome in any form. Disclaimers: I do not own DC, DC comics, DC entertainment, Robin, Young Justice, or a bunch of other things. I also do not wish to go to juvie and wanna make sure credit goes out to anyone and everyone I might be stepping on with these stories. Anywho... Enjoy :)Complete
