Kat Fang never expected to come back to Gotham, let alone unravel in it. The city had always felt like an echo of something she'd lost-sharp edges, hidden shadows, and all the weight of a past she couldn't quite name. But when her family moves back full-time and Kat enrolls at Gotham Academy, the ghosts of her childhood return with startling familiarity... including the two boys who defined it.
Dick Grayson-charming, infuriatingly perfect, and always three steps ahead.
Jason Todd-fire-forged, reckless, and raw, like a storm waiting to break.
What begins as a second chance at friendship becomes something far more complicated when Kat finds herself sandwiched between protectiveness and unresolved tension... and caught in the slow, inevitable collision between a love she didn't see coming and the truth that Gotham never lets you leave clean.
Amid hallway rumors, rooftop confessions, and quiet kisses in the dark, Kat must navigate grief, healing, and the chaos that comes with loving a boy like Jason Todd.
This is a story about trauma and tenderness, about the families we're born into-and the ones we fight for. About glittering rooftops, whispered promises, late-night chocolate chip cookies, and the dizzying ache of finding your way back to the people who never stopped looking.
Because love in Gotham is never easy.
But sometimes, it's worth the fall.
It's the beginning of my senior year and all I want is to get through the last year of high school, unscathed and under the radar. Of course, that is a highly unrealistic expectation to have when you go to Gotham Academy. Between the monthly lockdowns due to the escaped prisoners and the local celebrities attending my school, there is never a dull moment.
Thankfully, my best friend and I have been able to get through the last few years without so much as detention. If anyone said my name in the hall, I'd guarantee that most people wouldn't be able to put a face to the name.
But that's all about to change because I found my soulmate.
The enigmatic, arrogant, brilliant, hot douchebag, Damian Wayne. Now with the attention of everyone at school and in Gotham City on me, I have to navigate through a minefield of challenges.
Will we be able to foster a healthy relationship in the public eye or will public opinion and media scrutiny be too much for me? Unbeknownst to me, tabloids and paparazzi will be the least of my problems.
Just when I thought my biggest issue was getting into college and finding a date for prom...
