it's the knowledge that Gotham is in ruins that kills me, somehow. It's such a small detail but hints at such depths of time passing...so sad.
As I said to arch_schatten it has been a very very long time.
And that bruce is buried with the boys--of course he is, but imagining the little row of graves just breaks my heart.
I'm so pleased you liked that part. Including the boys was a after addition, and I debated about it for a while - would they actually be buried with Bruce, or would they be buried with their 'blood' families? But I decided in the end that they would be buried with Bruce. I can imagine them, in the setting of this drabble at least, being very very proud of being this man's sons. And yes, the little row of graves. *cries*
