Title: A Moment of Illumination
Continuity: Movies, between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises
Pairing/Characters: John Blake, Jim Gordon
Warnings: None
Summary: A dark night in Gotham, a spooked patrol, an image John Blake can neither understand nor forget.
Rating: G
Word Count: 566
Notes: More non-spoiler guesswork about Blake and Gotham.

( In that moment of noise and confusion, Blake's thought wasn't for the Batman, it was for the man he was known to have a vendetta against. So as everyone else was staring into the darkness, Blake was looking at the Commissioner. )

Title: Harvey Dent Day
Continuity: Movies, between The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises
Pairing/Characters: John Blake, Jim Gordon, Bruce Wayne
Warnings: None
Summary: John Blake's first Harvey Dent Day as a policeman doesn't go as he expected.
Rating: G
Word Count: 1400
Notes: No spoilers, just idle speculation on John Blake as a character and the world Jim and Bruce have built between them.

( Sure, like so many others he'd been inspired as a teen to join the police force by Harvey Dent and his sacrifice for Gotham. But as he'd learned more about the Commissioner, seen the steel that lurked under those deceptively mild eyes--well, not everyone could be as noble as Harvey Dent, but Jim Gordon was a more grounded hero, the kind of man one could actually hope to be like, not just an ideal. )
