I'm on a roll with the recommendations, apparently. Clearly they are the buses of fandom.

I've been meaning to rec [livejournal.com profile] cereta's Hanging Work AU for quite some time now. I happily squeed--I must find out who coined that word and kill them. It's horrible, but oh-so appropriate--bounced and melted with sheer joy while she was writing this series. I'm still sad that its come to an end. But what an end!

The premise: Bruce Wayne never visited Haley's Circus on that fateful night and never took in a broken young Dick Grayson. Instead, Dick is fostered--and trained by--Selina Kyle, which is less crack-tastic than it may sound. Their relationship is pretty damn cute, and she's almost as hard a task-master as Bruce is in some ways, but infinitely more playful.

It's beautifully written and for the first time I find myself adoring Selina Kyle, not just Catwoman. There are a few spin-off stories written for the universe by other folks--[livejournal.com profile] cereta is generously allowing anyone to play in her sandbox--which are also awesome. I'll have to dig out the links :)
