shinysylver and I want to thank everyone who participated in this year's
dcu_bang challenge. It took a lot of hard work from all of our authors, accompanying fanworkers, and betas, and we certainly hit some bumps along the way, but we think it all turned out wonderfully :)
At this point, all of the stories have been posted. There are still some artists who haven't been able to post for Sandy-related reasons, and we'll update this list as those links come in. For those of you ho have been waiting, though, wait no longer! Allow me to present
dcu_bang's 2012 master list of fic and accompanying fanworks. (Please keep in mind that this list does not include authors' warnings; those are included with the stories themselves. Please read those carefully before reading!)

when the music is goneCharacters/Pairings: Tim Drake, Jason Todd; appearances by Dick Grayson, Damian Wayne, Conner Kent, Selina Kyle, and Poison Ivy; the Joker and Captain Boomerang
Summary: When the planet is shaken by events that are later called the Disasters, every major city in the world experiences what Gotham went through in No Man’s Land. It’s business as usual in Gotham; they’ve been through this before, after all. Things start to get out of hand when Batman is ambushed and brought down; after that, heroes drop one by one as the rogues dig in and tear Gotham apart.
When Dick tells Tim that he’s leaving Gotham, Tim refuses to go with him, knowing that if he stays he can help. He turns to Jason, one of the only tentative allies he has left in the city, and together, they try their best to save a city that it might not be possible to save.

NemesisCharacters/Pairings: Bruce/Tim
Summary: When Bruce comes back to Gotham after his seven year journey around the world, he expects that things will have changed. He's changed after all so Gotham will have too. But he discovers that far more has gone wrong during his absence than he thought could have, including the one person he thought would wait forever for him having moved on in strange and unexpected ways.
Tim has changed during his absence, becoming someone completely different from the boy that Bruce fell in love with. Instead of the steadfast ally he expected Bruce now has a perfect nemesis determined to destroy him utterly.
Finding their way back to each other's sides through the maze of lies and mistaken identities threatens to take more time than they have available as another, much more serious, enemy lurks in the background waiting to destroy not just them but all of Gotham as well.
