“Gotham is a vast, decaying oyster, but it holds one perfect pearl.”
“I will pluck that pearl and set him on a golden platter, the most delectable part of this feast.”
Hannibal Lecter
·
Arkham Asylum has a new psychiatrist.
She's beautiful, elegant, unflappable, and exceptionally capable. Yet beneath her consummately polished exterior, she unexpectedly hides a domestic side no one knows about.
She, Hannibal Lecter, is a top-notch gourmet and chef.
So when she takes up her kitchen knife and precisely separates flesh from bone, no one connects her to the several murders recently committed in Gotham.
So when she lifts her knife and fork and savors a delicious dish, no one associates her with the deranged killer in the news who removes the organs of the dead.
Only she knows that while her guests enjoy the food at her banquet, she... is choosing new ingredients.

Reader's guide:
* The heroine is a gender-swapped Hannibal, a sociopathic cannibal.
* Readers who require faithful relationships, beware: this story has a chaotic romantic mix with many guests.
* A crossover with many movies and TV series. The timelines are messy, so don't think too hard about them.
* The heroine is an utterly evil character. Her values do not represent the author's.
* Pairing: Batman. This is a self-indulgent pairing, so don't read if you dislike it.
Theme: Justice does not happen naturally. Justice requires power.
