Rules of Vanishing by Morveren

Summary
Here are the rules to survive as a civilian in Gotham City:
The first rule is to keep your head down. Don't draw attention to yourself. Don't make eye contact. Walk briskly and with purpose. Don't wear anything flashy that can be stolen and most certainly do not walk down that dark alley.
The second rule is don't be a hero. Avoid confrontations. Walk the other way when you see a standoff. Don't try to help that man getting beat up in the alley, because odds are you'll get killed right along with him. Gotham City has Batman for a reason.
The third and most important rule is this: Don't get involved with superheroes.
Or in your case, gun-toting vigilantes.

The Pizza Delivery Girl's Survival Guide to Gotham City by Morveren

Summary
People who lived outside of Gotham City would most often think of it in terms of its heroes and villains. About Batman and Robin, Joker and Harley Quinn.
People who actually live in Gotham City would only think of one thing: surviving.
Who cares about the people in costumes when your house has been bombed for the fifth time, or your wife has been taken hostage just because she worked in a bank?
Or, in your case, when you have to make regular deliveries to places where even Batman feared to tread?
Because let's face it. In a world full of superheroes and costumed villains, the real heroes are the ones who make sure that people get their pizzas in forty-five minutes or less.

Summary
Living in Gotham City is always unpredictable.
However, the stakes that you face are not vengeful rogues or trigger-happy clowns, but rather the mystifying case of a cute guy... experimenting with his laundry? And not, like, some Joker type experiment but... a genuine experiment with a rotating list of detergent types. Maybe which one works best? Maybe he just has no idea how to do his laundry? Who knows?
You should leave it alone. You should leave him alone.
Obviously, this does not happen, and you somehow end up friends with Tim Drake.
For you, chronically lonely for the last few years, this is great. Good. Awesome.
For the feelings that grow inside you that are decidedly not platonic?
Not great.
But... nothing is impossible. Especially here in Gotham City.

Summary
Tatooine has a system of beliefs about what daemons mean: Horse daemons are for free spirits, rat daemons are for people who are clever and social, lizards are for those who can adapt to survive and dogs, well, dogs ...
(Anakin Skywalker's daemon settles too early, in a shape he wouldn't have chosen)
