Fortress Of Good Fortune

November is the Month of Melancholy, and what better month to showcase deathfics with a touch of the macabre?

Mausoleum is a Batman story set in one of DC’s many multiple Earths and depicts the downfall of a superhero when all is torn away from him.

Angels’ Tears is a Roy/Johnny story that is sorrow incarnate as firefighters’ greatest fear comes to pass.

Author’s Note: I had completed the first draft of this story yesterday, and then the events that recalled 9/11 brought my thoughts to the firefighters lost that day, and all the sacrifices they do make for us everyday. This story is very mild slash, so if you’re more a gen type, you may still find this of interest.

( Roy could feel the ache in his bones and in his heart as the fire burned. )

( It was never right around the station when Roy and Johnny fought. )

Lookin' back and ahead! :)

( A haunting strain of Irish music drifted down the hall. Sean frowned. Who would be playing music at a time like this? He felt sadness wash over him suddenly, like waves on the shore. )
