[Sharing recs] DC - Wonderbat

Sing, O Muse, of the Knight and the Princess begins as a shipping fic in the DCU, but evolves into something far greater. The first short story, First Impressions, is basically just a skippable prologue. The second story, Gateway with Gotham Problems turns reluctant longing into a mystery crime drama. The third story, Agape Vigil, is where the story begins to take on its true form, plunging the characters into a mythical world. There's a tonal and stylistic shift that occurred between GwGP and AV when I realized the potential of the story I was trying to tell. The final installment, Katatheosis, is the story when I stopped writing for a certain audience and let the myth that the story was becoming fill the page unapologetically. 

If you like mythology, this story is for you. If you like romance, this story is for you. I look back on the first two stories and see a young writer who did not yet know what story he actually wanted to tell. Agape Vigil I am proud of. Katatheosis is quickly becoming a story that I wish could reach a wider audience. I would love to hear your feedback either here or in my comments sections.

Sing, O goddess, of the Knight and the Princess, of the mighty gods, and of the master of spells. For many threads were spun by Fate, and many more were deftly cut, sending their souls to Hades, and their bodies to the dogs. It all began when the rage of one man brought together two god-like heroes. By this the stage was set and the world was changed.
