Rec: Batman (Nolan movies): Stiffen the Sinews (Summon Up the Blood), by Whisky (whisky runner)
Fandom: Batman
Pairings/Characters: Bane (DCU)/John Blake (DCU)
Rating: Explicit
Length: 80,666 words
Creator Links: Whisky (whiskyrunner) at AO3
Theme: Complete AU, Prison
Summary: There are only men in the pit, and John's not strong enough to protect himself forever. But Bane is strong enough for both of them.
Reccer’s Notes: This is an AU where John is imprisoned in the pit with Bane, Talia and her mother. A rather harrowing but compelling read, with extremely convincing characterisation of all the characters. I reread this again immediately after finishing because it is just excellent work. Due to the complete AU nature of the fic, you don’t need canon knowledge at all.
Content Notes: As the author says, “This is not the happiest of stories.” It contains explicit non-con, violence, abuse (including reference to child abuse), and death.
