Hey this is an amazing idea! Do you have any fics exploring what would have happened if Steph lived/stayed Robin?

okay so this one was actually pretty tough so I found a couple that filled this prompt exactly & tossed in a few other fics that don't touch on war games but are set during her robin run. hope this works! sorry for the extremely long wait I have no excuses this time </3

Allegro Vivace, by Hinn_Raven (@secretlystephaniebrown). 4.8k, G, gen. summary: stephanie brown is never fired as robin, and that changes everything. my notes: exactly what the prompt is! this is a beautiful piece that glosses over wide swaths of time, zeroing in on intricate moments that betray a beautiful understanding of the characters.

&&

the leaving is still the same, by CloudDreamer. 900, T, rape/noncon. summary: stephanie brown survives her encounter with the black mask. the thing about living is that you keep having to. my notes: this is immediate war games aftermath with steph surviving -- but is veryy hurty with no happy ending. I personally love this piece as a gorgeous exploration of steph's mental state, but if hurt no comfort isn't your cup of tea, I can respect you skipping this one.

CALMING NOTION, PERPETUAL IN MOTION., by orpheusaki (@damianbugs). 2.5k, G, gen. summary: what it means to be a legacy, even for those you don't wish to carry. my notes: okayy so we're getting into "not clearly a steph-lives au but we're in robin steph territory" but this was SUCH a lovely fic and despite my bravado I do love a good bruce-manages-to-communicate moment and I think the way robin is discussed as steph's and as a concept is lovely here I just love the weight of this

To Salvage One Sadness, by Nokomis (@nokomiss). 1.6k, G, gen. summary: dick had to hear secondhand that there was a new robin in gotham. my notes: ohhh boy I do love a fic originally posted in the mid 00s. anyway, again we're not in a steph-lives moment but we're set solidly during her run and given the complete lack of dick & steph interaction I live for any genuine moments of connection people manage to find them in fic. LOVE both of their characterization here

i can’t stop thinking about how annabeth e-mailed percy the photo of her at dc but this doofus decided to print it and put it in his notebook to stare at her whenever he could. talk about dedication

The ninth doctor was so insane fr he was like I watched my planet get destroyed and I can't share this trauma with anyone. I will fix this by befriending a human girl and taking her to see her planet get destroyed. This is normal behaviour.

do you know any good steph and damian fics? they were such a good dynamic duo in batgirl 2009. or any duke and damian fics? whatever you like, you have fantastic taste!

I went a little too wild with the "whatever you like" bc I saw batgirl 2009 and blacked out. all of these fics are set during the dick!bats batgirl!steph robin!damian era and consist of some overlap of the three of them -- I know dick was not mentioned in this ask but he crept in there my apologies. at least two of these fics are exclusively steph & damian so I fulfilled some level of this request methinks. duke is not here I'm sorry but I can potentially try to find some of him and damian at a later date if you would like to send in another ask <3

3:16, by partingxshot ( @wufflesvetinari ) . 70.7k, T, gen, 45/?. summary: with faltering steps, dick and damian become batman and robin. notes: as the summary suggets, this fic IS mainly based on dick and damian, but it's incredible, and ties in both steph and some other characters and plots from the dickbats-era comics. I found this while I was searching and HAD to rec it given that it's currently my absolute favorite batfam adjacent fic.

the gentleness that comes (despite the violence), by cherrystainedknuckles ( @cherrystainedknuckles ). 3.7k, T, gen. summary: or; how steph and damian sleepovers became a regular occurrence. notes: this is my fic lol but hey it filled the prompt! if you think I have good taste you will potentially also like my writing here's hoping. it's steph & damian and set nebulously during batgirl 2009

&&

Put All Your Faults to Bed, by hauntedlittledoll ( @hauntedlittledoll ) . 1.7k, G, gen. summary: steph is the unofficial wayne family counselor, and her hours are late. very late. notes: damian and steph are flawless here and despite its short length it manages to (in my opinion) capture damian and steph very well. mentions of steph as batgirl place this solidly during batgirl 2009 as well !!

&&

prove that i'm worth something, by Hinn_Raven ( @secretlystephaniebrown ). 5.2k, G, gen. summary: dick grayson has never had much time for stephanie brown. but when the two of them find themselves stranded without a line to the outside world, he finds that they might have more in common than he thought. notes: this is stephanie and dick centric -- though they both mention damian and steph's little mini adventures. this seems to be set post batman: the return, given that dick is still batman but bruce is alive. anyway, I LOVE this I love steph here, I love the way these two see each other, it's just really neat

"Oh but parents do have a right to control what their children eat. What if they just want to eat candy for every meal?"

Most parents can't even distinguish between random whims and autism dietary limitations and end up saying shit like this and starving their disabled children.

also to give you an idea of just how badly the catholicism goes over my head i didnt get that the pool scene was baptism when i first read it because i thought baptism was only done by baptists.

i’m sorry but this is so fucking funny. baptism is only done by baptists and communion is only done by communists

a lot of the popular "queerbait" ships are just "these two characters are friends / they stood close together once" but every once in a while i'll stumble into an unfamiliar ship tag and see shit like "in episode 169 Scrungko gives Blorbis multiple prostate orgasms with an anal vibrator while pretending to date him" and like. idk what the hell is going on there. but if it's not queerbait then they just invented something even more insane. maybe y'all are right sometimes.
