Step 1: Be a serial reincarnator. Step 2: End up in Gotham with Death of the Endless. Step 3: Open a neutral-ground bar for heroes and villains. Step 4: ??? Step 5: Profit.

Don't go into this story expecting something serious or (grim)dark. This isn't that kind of story and that's not what I'm trying to do here. This is a story about a bartender telling crazy stories about his time in the multiverse to the villains and heroes of DC. It's practically crack, about two steps removed from a fix-it fic. There is a plot (eventually, the beginning chapters are pretty slice-of-life heavy) but it's never going to be some grand tale of tragedy.

In the same lane, don't expect the same Batman/Bat Family that you might be used to. No paranoiax10, dark, and gritty 'Batman can't be/have fun!' Batman. My Batman is more in line with the 'Batdad' concept or the animated series Batman.

Also, this is kind of an AU. Not in any major way but some of the story might not match up perfectly with the DC canon continuity. I'm going for a static DC universe. So characters and their backstories are set but I'll be avoiding the major plot points of the comics (Dark Multiverse, Infinite Frontier, etc.)

Pat reon.com/dryskies_btb for early chapters. 370k words are already available there.

[AN: This was put together by the user HarkenEliwood. He did a great job gathering all of the information in one place. I just corrected the list a bit here and there (check for 'AN'). So thank you, Eliwood. You saved me quite a bit of tedious collection work.


Also, the list is not in chronological order for Sean's lives. That order hasn't been finalized. If I'm being honest, it probably never will be. And don't take the descriptions as ALL Sean did in that life. It's mostly just how the specific life came up in the main story.]


1 - 68th life : (Overlord-like?) Fantasy World : was a King's jester


2 - 69th (current) life : DC : is a barman


3 - Fantasy World : was a bard who married a dragon (AN: Tiamat)


4 - ??? : founded a Robin-themed orphanage and organised a human uprising against Aliens (AN: Undecided but I'm thinking Mass Effect maybe? Shanxi anyone?)


5 - Marvel : got the Silver Surfer's board


8 - Buffy the Vampire Slayer : was Buffy's ally


10 - Warhammer 40 000 : was a Rogue Trader


12 - Adventure Time : was Marceline's friend


14 - My Hero Academia : was Himiko's father (AN: Adopted)


15 - Castlevania + World of Darkness : was the designer of Dracula's castle + the Wizard Wars

18 - Ranma 1/2 : learned the « Anything Goes »


20 - Nasuverse : was Merlin + Brynhildr's Master


21 - AU Naruto : was Minato ? (AN: Again, not certain, but honestly not a bad choice either)


22 - Monty Python Holy Grail : was in search of the Grail (AN: Might be a whole 'Monty Python verse'. So tentatively include Life of Brian and Meaning of Life in there)


23 - Final Fantasy 7 : got the two Materias


27 - Elder Scrolls : knows Restoration magic


29 - Hazbin Hotel : was Charlie's friend
