Where did the title of your current WiP(s) come from?
"Heroes of the Squared Circle" is kind of obvious (and I never really liked it but I couldn't come up with anything better!) The latest chapter of that is "Takeover," which is kind of an in-joke/pun (it's a series of specials in wrestling, and also literally what's happening in the chapter).
The other thing I'm working on is called "Mended with Gold," a reference to the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with golden mortar, drawing attention to the breaks and flaws rather than trying to ignore them, making something beautiful from something broken. It's one of my favorite metaphors to use in fic--I've used it to apply to Bruce himself in the past, and in this concluding chapter in a different fandom I apply it to a relationship. It's not an OTP until I find a way to use kintsugi to talk about it. :)
