"All things considered, it was still not the worst Christmas ever."—"The Unkindness of Ravens" description
The
CA Tverse is a very long, ongoing
Batman Fan Fic series. It focuses on several Batman villains, mostly Scarecrow and Riddler, and the three henchwomen that make life a bit more dificult for them.
This is their website. Nifty!
The One That Started It All, aka The Unkindness of Ravens.It's also being archived on livejournal.
The CA Tverse contains examples of
- Abduction is Love - The point of "The Unkindness of Ravens." Without the "falling in love as the outcome" bit.
- Asexuality - While it's never explicitly stated (in-series), this version of Scarecrow is not interested in anyone at all. The same cannot be said for the girls' affections for him.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension - Techie and Nightwing
- Berserk Button - plants for Ivy, cats for Selina. Jonathan has made the mistake of harming both.
- Blind Without 'Em - both Jonathan and the Captain. Averted with Al and Techie, who wear glasses but can get by without them.
- Bodyguard Crush - entirely one way
- Can't Hold His Liquor - "Five! Five drinks! Ah-ah-ah!"
- Cuddle Bug - the girls, but at least they learn to avoid The Glomp.
- Donut Mess with a Cop - Bullock. Montoya doesn't mind them, either.
- Embarrassing Nickname - Squishy, Squishykins, Squishface.
- For Science!!
- Forgets To Eat - the girls are more than just bodyguards
- The Fundamentalist - Great-Granny
- Genki Girl - the girls, especially Captain. Also Harley.
- Good Is Not Nice - not from Jonathan's point of view, anyway
- Harmless Freezing - averted; when Mr. Freeze goes on a spree, his victims end up hospitalized or dead.
- Hates Being Touched - poor Jonathan
- Lennon Specs - Captain's new pair
- Love Redeems - played with
- Mama Bear - don't mess with plants or children in front of Ivy.
- Meganekko - the girls
- Nice Hat - part of what makes the Riddler and the Scarecrow so attractive to the girls
- Not Me This Time - comes up a few times
- Not Quite Dead - "Headstones of Henchgirls."
- Overprotective Dad - Batman nearly drives off the road on learning Robin has a girlfriend.
- Precocious Crush - Al has a certain appeal to prepubescent boys, much to her dismay.
- Quirky Curls - Techie's hairstyle
- Red String of Fate - Arguably how the girls and Scarecrow came to be stuck together...although the girls probably would have stuck to him anyway.
- Used literally in "Season of the Witch"- Madam Lavoux uses it to "tie" the girls and Scarecrow together from that point on.
- Risky Business Dance - Eddie's rendition of "Santa Baby."
- Scar Survey - Happens in "Aquatic Nocturne" and, under somewhat different circumstances, in "Nine Lives."
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid - Young Jonathan Crane wanted to be just like Alan Scott when he grew up.
- Villain Protagonist
