Gotham’s Best Fake Ex of the Year [Western Crossover]

[Sweet-and-sour love triangle] [A roller-coaster reading experience] [Daily updates, no hiatuses] Dick got married recently. His Leticia is like snow on a beach, rare and beautiful. She's dazzling, clever, with a smoking-hot figure and a twisted sense of humor. Her temper is unpredictable, she isn't a redhead, she's descended from witches, and she's cursed. She has no idea how Dick feels about her, and she's seriously afraid of commitment. Though Leticia has broken his heart, Dick has no intention of giving up. All he has to do is convince Leticia to face reality and admit that their fake-relationship game is, in fact, fake. And he succeeds. Now he has a partner who loves him, and a family that's both incomplete and whole, including but not limited to siblings and four cats plus a dog. Except for one thing. He probably should have told Leticia sooner that he'd been working out this courtship plan with an entire team of partners. She won't like that news. Then there's the other thing: he isn't sure whether to tell her about the past Selena has been hiding from her. She'll be furious. And there's one more thing: he forgot to tell Leticia that he has some memories she doesn't. She'll get the wrong idea. Oh, and then there's the other thing: he loves her far more than she can handle. She'll run away immediately. There might be a few other things, too... Despite all that, they can still live happily ever after. ...Right? 🐈💙 Letty was sure that perfect men didn't exist, until she met Dick. Dick is optimistic and upright by nature, gentle, considerate, and funny, smart, brave, and strong. He has the godlike good looks of a Greek deity and an irresistible charm. Because of Batman's will, Letty married Dick. Married life is sweet and smooth. Except there are a few little problems. First, Bruce isn't actually dead. Second, Letty knows Bruce isn't dead. Now, back to why they got married. They did it for the money, for the Batcave, for the will, for... for Letty's own selfish reasons. This marriage can last forever. As long as she doesn't tell anyone that Bruce is still alive. ---⊹⊹⊹✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧⊹⊹⊹--- Bookmark this story now, and you'll witness Dick's unwavering love, along with his even more unwavering eight-pack. ---⊹⊹⊹✦✧✦✧✦✧✦✧⊹⊹⊹--- #Hero Dick #Second Male Lead Mark #Third Male Lead TBD #🦨🐎👻🕷️ #Bat Family, fluff, fake exes to lovers, Bruce is a good father #Unreliable narrator #Unrequited love #Actually, it's not unrequited #Dick doesn't cheat #Kory is doing well #Barbara has another good match #But Dick still has some bad exes, because #Older Grayson vs. younger Grayson #Fake it till you make it ★★ This story focuses on the Nightwing run after Tom Taylor took over, specifically after Nightwing (Volume 4) #78. The overall tone leans toward Dawn of DC, and then toward the storylines from after Dawn of DC up to the present. The characterizations draw on classic and relatively friendly major events from the past. However, the story also stays balanced and won't completely erase certain key bad events. The family atmosphere sometimes includes Wayne Family Adventures. ★★ ※Any additional information needed will be included in the author's notes and the story itself. ※The blurb will be updated as the story progresses. ※Additional research notes and explanations about characters and key plot points: #1 #5 #6 (More will be added as needed) Theme: Optimism and integrity make a true hero
