"And I feel life for the very first time
     Love in my arms and the sun in my eyes
     I feel safe in the 5 am light
    You carry my fears as the heavens set fire."


Violet has wanted out of Gotham all her life, away from the Falcones and their fruitless war with the Maronis, but everything changed when her family's driver had usurped and took over the entirety of Gotham's underworld at the same time her father was going through the fallout of a corruption scheme revealed with his campaign office. She wanted her first love, Bruce, to leave with her.

Instead, she was to start anew in Metropolis from scratch. Single, starting a new career path as a photojournalist for the crime beat at the Daily Planet - she feels hopeful, but it isn't long before Gotham follows after her.

Timeline: after the events of the Penguin HBO series, late January, and before the events of the new Superman movie.

pairing: Clark Kent x socialite!OC

Unethical ~ Clark Kent by wooyoungspinkytoe
16 parts Complete Mature
At the Daily Planet, truth is everything - but some truths are unbearable. Elara Vance has built her career capturing honesty through a lens. Her photographs stop time, reveal what others overlook, and turn chaos into beauty. She sees the world clearly - except when it comes to Clark Kent. Clark is warmth in human form - steady, kind, impossibly good. And that's the problem. He's the man who never misses a deadline, never lets a promise break, never stops running when someone else needs him. Especially Lois Lane. To everyone else, they're just colleagues, best friends bound by a lifetime of headlines. But to Elara, it feels like standing in a shadow that will never move. She doesn't resent him. She can't. But loving Clark Kent feels like loving something you're never meant to have - too pure, too unreachable. And every time he leaves without explanation, every time his eyes flick to his phone mid-conversation, Elara feels the quiet ache of being almost enough. Until Clark finds out. When he learns what she's been hiding behind her calm smile - the loneliness, the doubt, the quiet conviction that she'll always come second - it shatters him. Because for all his strength, Clark has one fatal flaw: he's never known how to put himself first. And for the first time in his life, he wants to. He wants her. Determined to prove that his heart belongs only to Elara, Clark begins to fight - not for the world, but for her. Every rescue, every story, every secret he's kept becomes a test of devotion. But loving Elara means learning to be human in a way Superman never has - to be vulnerable, to stay, to choose her even when the world burns for his attention.

𝘊𝘓𝘈𝘙𝘈 𝘍𝘓𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘚, one of the new interns at the Daily Planet hasn't always felt like she belonged. Ever since she was a little girl she always felt like an outcast. Whether it was her talking about interests that girls "shouldn't" be into like superheroes or dinosaurs or even when she was talking about things girls "should" be into. However, everytime she picked a camera, she felt like her story belonged. That her side mattered. No one would know it was her behind the camera unless they looked at the citation. She could tell any story she wanted in a photograph without feeling like an outcast. That was up until Clark Kent came along and made her realize her story didn't just have to be in a photograph, but that it could be outside of the photograph. That her story did matter. She mattered. story made by - anevilresident!! <3
