So this is then part of that universe of 'Fall to Grace'? As in, there's a Batgirl? Would it then be silly to assume that Marlowe is Batgirl? Well, that's very, very interesting.

I enjoy this universe you've created. I hate to say it, but my memory fades on the evil characters of Gotham, and you're really helping out by writing this. The Penguin in particular is bothering me. I can't remember a damn thing. And I'm too lazy to actually look through comics and TV shows and find out more. So thank you for that.

Is this little bit finished then? It was very good, just as touching as 'Fall to Grace'. But at the same time, you can feel the difference between narrarators. It's clearly obvious when Bruce is talking, when it is Marlowe, when it is K Lee. That's very impressive, the fact that you can differentiate characters but have them all maintain a certain level of excellence in what they describe. You can feel K's youth and Bruce's grief, yet they are both at a professional level of story telling that you hold. I appreciate that. It's very cool.

Thank you again. Time to check out other Gotham Noir pieces until this fabulous and greatly awaited 'A Mortal Melody of Blood and Memory' is finished (I have tremendous faith in you). I actually dreamt of Marlowe and Bruce last night. Odd, since usually I don't remember my dreams at all. That must mean something.

By the way, this title which I shall shorten obscenely to AMMoBaM (haha, ammo bam!), is much more sinister than the last. Does that reflect in any way on the story? Curious.

Thank you so much for this,
Peace,

Wow. Powerful stuff, and beautifully written...

A very interesting little project. I'll be watching. Keep on updating.

Amazing...you are the only writer whom I've ever seen capture WHY Gotham is feared. It's almost a wonder that people still live there isn't it? I eagerly look forward to anymore Batman stories you think up. Until then, this will serve as inspiration.

Poignantly sad, and yet subtly beautiful

omg, this was so good. i can't find the words.

Absolutely awesome. All there is to say really.

Simply Myself

I love this story, re-read it all the time, but I only just realized I've never left a comment. It's beautiful, and so sad, at the same time. I tear up everytime I read it, and I'm not a very sentimental person. It's a very... powerful piece of work.

Sad, introspective... sensitive. The brokeness; the senselessness of it all.

A true knight.

Clean text; good work. Keep it up.

ok that was jusst excellent my adrenaline was gong half the time and I cried at the end it was great wirte more

Wow! This story shook me. Well and truly shook me. Your Gotham was dark, frightening and so real – so real. I loved how you captured the horror of realising that life continues, no matter the horrific events that occur in your life. The world doesn’t stand still and scream with you when your little piece falls apart – instead it rolls inevitably on, ignorant and uncaring.

And it was really touching how even though K had no idea that Batman cared or noticed, he did – and felt a part of her pain. And Celeste was right – fighting and keeping fighting is ‘winning’. Our common humanity is sometimes all we have to survive the horrors. Thank you for this inspiring fic – you are an exceptional writer.

Fantastic story! I usually don't like first-person voice stories but this was really well-written. I almost cried, and that doesn't happen often when I read fanfiction.

that is so good. so sad. so... true

I think I was holding my breath through the entire thing. To sum up my thoughts at the moment in a word: WOW. Your prose is immersive, stark, and gorgeous - through your compelling words, Gotham City leaps off the page and, what's more, it scares us and saddens us as it does so. Its darkness and danger pervades the dialogue, the characters, and even your readers. Shivery and beautiful, to the last drop. Amazing work.

Wow. Powerful and disturbing and hopeful all at once. Wonderfully written, and I loved all the little details you put in to make Gotham seem like a real city. And your original characters were very real too, which is always hard to achieve in a fanfic. Terrific work.
