I feel like when things are quiet in Gotham and the only threat is normal criminals, Cass would have no issue blasting music on patrol just for fun. No one knows what to make of it, Bruce isn't sure if it's an effective crime fighting tactic or not but it sure is Something.

You are random Gotham mugger 745 trying to steal from a woman on her way home from work and you suddenly hear Chappell Roan's Good Luck Babe growing ominously louder until you're suddenly knocked out too fast to recognise who it is. You end up at the police station with five other guys who've experienced something similar. One says they heard Mitski's My Love Mine All Mine playing. Another heard wish you were gay by Billie Eilish. Is there a lesbian ghost haunting Gotham? What the hell is going on?

Elsewhere on a completely unrelated note Barbara is having a long discussion with Cass on first loves and realising you're gay. Chappell Roan and girl in red will be haunting Gotham criminals for a solid month before she finally works up the courage to actually Talk to Steph about how she's feeling, at which point the lesbian ghost who knocks criminals unconscious will have developed into a Gotham meme and become an urban legend. Believers will say it's a new god here to protect sapphic women. Skeptics will tell you it's probably just Poison Ivy.

Steph having no doubts Cass was coming for her:

STEPH TAKES A BULLET FOR CASS????? Insane behavior

The sorta forehead kiss???

The back hug?????? saving each other and driving off together???? Dead

A very batty Christmas

Don’t know if anyone’s done this before, but Batfam getting sucked into a generic hallmark movie due to villain shenanigans ft StephCass, cause duh.

Stephanie is the protagonist, because she’s blonde. She’s the big city girl who’s moving to gingerbread village because her evil boss (Bruce who is very confused and not sure why Wayne Enterprises is suddenly an evil bakery shutting down company) is shutting down the local bakery.

After a quick conversation with her now fiancée Tim Drake (they are both disgusted), she’s off.

She arrives in gingerbread village and is immediately accosted by the local Christmas spirit, read: Carollers (Duke and Jason, who were lucky enough to be cast as side characters. They are sitting back and enjoying the drama)

After throwing a quick middle finger at them, she is saved by none over than the local bakery owner. Cassandra Cain (she has never baked a thing in her life, and now her business is in jeopardy because she’s burnt all the Christmas cookies and she has quite litteraly no understanding of customer service).

She takes Steph to the local inn, run by none other than a very upset Dick Grayson (he knows he isn’t built for the rugged look and no matter how many times he changes his outfit the plot always forces him into a flannel)

She checks in and the next day begins reporting on the local bakery, because big evil company has sent her to shut it down. (Bruce has no memory of this he calls Stephanie several times to try tell her that she can just come home, but small rural town=no cell service.)

Finally she arrives at small town bakery and she enters to the smell of burning. Cass is handling it, but in the mean time she is introduced to Damian, who is not thriving. Its cold, without service and he’s stuck living above a bakery of all things, playing the resident child who exists to say something childish and quirky that’s actually super wise and gives the main character an epiphany somewhere towards the end of the film. At least he has a random golden retriever with him. He misses Titus though.

In the meantime he has to deal with Cass’ disastrous attempts at making cookies.

They aren’t entirely sure why the plot demands they live together. Are they friends? Siblings? Mother and son? Estranged Aunt and Nephew who was taken in after his parents death in what was probably a planned hit by evil big city corporation in order to further their goals of building a mall or a parking lot or whatever it is their building? No one wants to know, least of all them.

Steph moves on to the kitchen to see what’s going on and she and Cass get to talking about the local Christmas cookies baking competition on Christmas Eve that if they win will give them just enough money to save the bakery!!!!

She is offered some cookies but they don’t look edible so she declines returning to the inn.

Dick is chopping wood and not looking at all happy about it as he informs Steph of the impending snow storm that will no doubt overcome gingerbread village.

Steph however is too rattled with guilt at having to shut down this small town bakery to hear him.

The next day she returns (unwillingly, the plot forced her) to the bakery, but oh no. What’s this? Impending snow storm that she was totally warned about???

Well she’ll have to bunk down in the bakery, so she is invited in which is weird right cause they’ve known each other for like 2 days in universe and who gives a fuck. It’s Christmas!!!!!

Cue bonding montage where they go on walks, talk about their childhoods and Cass attempts to teach Steph how to bake, except neither of them had present enough parents during their childhood to teach them so they’re both sort of floundering. Steph bonds with Damian (read they sit next to each other once, he calls her fat, she throws a shoe at his head)

But there’s love in the air or whatever, until dun dun dun despite not having service, she gets a call from her evil boss, (read Bruce asking if she’s alright), who wants her to shut down gingerbreadvill bakery, (he has no intention of doing that, why is everyone so insistent on him shutting down this local business?) followed by her evil fiancée, (Tim who’s just as confused as she is to realise he’s booked a ticket to come see her for some reason)

She puts down the phone and oh no, small town bakery owner overheard her and knows her true motive. (Cass doesn’t care, she’s more interested in eating cookies than making them) but plot demands the third act misunderstanding so Steph leaves in shame.

The magical snow storm has magically vanished. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and her deadline to shut down the bakery, but what’s this? There’s carollers outside her window giving her hope. (Jason and Duke who didn’t realise their true importance to the plot, standing outside her window in the freezing cold singing a plot relevant Christmas carol or something)

Well she throws caution to the wind and returns to the bakery, but Cass isn’t there, Damian is though and he gets to have his moment and give her some great advice (“she went to that one place you had your intimate moment in three scenes ago, now fuck off”)

She finds Cass and explains how she doesn’t want to shut down gingerbreadvil bakery anymore, but oh no, it’s already Christmas Eve, what to do?

Well they return to the bakery and probably get Dick, Jason and Duke and some other local town members to come together and make cookies (cause it’s Christmas guys!!!) they submit them to the local Christmas cookies baking competition on Christmas Eve, three people vomit and one of the judges has to be taken to the hospital for food poisoning but the plot demands they win.

They kiss under the moonlight and Tim arrives just in time for Steph to hand him back his ring (they are both incredibly relived) the story ends and everyone lives happily ever after.

The batfam are freed after the plot ends and all agree to never speak of the incident again.

Except neither Cass nor Steph are as upset as they probably could be and maybe if they try baking cookies for real this time, (with strict recipes and guidelines) and go walking under the moonlight together and generally being a cute cringy hallmark couple then nobody needs to know.

StephCass Pact: If in two years Cass and Stephanie are still single or unfulfilled in their dating lives, they’re going to start dating since they don't want to rush into that type of commitment.

Author's Note: This is a future AO3 fic, and currently, I’m seeing Stephanie as bi and Cass as a lesbian. I’d love to hear your thoughts! And to those who aren’t fans of StephCass, feel free to scroll past this post.

Stephanie: I have an announcement to make, everyone! In two years, if Cass and I aren’t in relationships, we’re going to give dating a try.

Damian: You... might want to push that timeline up; I’ve seen your taste in men.

Jason (snort laughing): He means Tim.

Tim (looking up from his tea cup): Huh? What? I said sorry! How long are you going to hold that against me?

Damian: Forever. Stephanie, I will say Cass is better than Drake. Cass is better than a lot of the people you've dated.

Stephanie (bonking Damian on the head lightly): I’m going to let that slide, you little gremlin. Cass is pretty amazing, isn't she?

Stephanie grinned, a dreamy look in her eyes and her hands on her hips. The others exchanged surprised glances but quickly rallied to support her discovering her sexual preferences and wanted to wait to date Cass instead of rushing into it.

Stephanie: I already got approval from Barbara; she took Cass out for lunch. With them gone, I wanted to tell you guys! She said it might be a sooner, but she’s not ready yet. Neither am I. So in the meantime, I'm… taking up knitting, video games, and speed dating. I kissed my first girl a few months back, I loved it

Kate: I was the same way with my second girlfriend in army. Being in the army sucked at times, but Tiffany made it easier. She used to keep my bed warm—

Jason (raising his voice): Damian is in the room.

Kate (effortlessly changing the subject): While we studied the Torah.

Jason: Nice save. Stephanie, did you just come out as gay to us?

Stephanie unzipped her jacket, revealing her bisexual striped T-shirt. A striped dinosaur adorned the front, sporting the colors of the bisexual flag.

Stephanie (eager): Not gay, but bi and I did! Your girl likes men and women!

Jason (chill): Hm, cool.

Kate clapped like she was watching golf.

Damian: Your coming-out moment was better than Drake’s too.

Tim (reading the shirt): Damian, I’m going to hit you later. What does that shirt say? "Why not both?" with a dinosaur on it. You would wear that during your coming-out moment.

Stephanie: You know me well, and my coming-out was better than yours.

Damian laughed, earning a playful slap on the head from Tim.

Tim: I'm happy for you either way.

Stephanie: Thanks. Yes, yes, I am bisexual. Dating hasn’t gotten any easier, but I’ve been enjoying meeting different women. I definitely have a stronger leaning toward women over men.

Kate: Don't blame you there. Not that I'm saying dating women is better, but I'm thinking it.

Stephanie: Kate, shush. You guys are being super supportive and I needed that since... I have to tell my mom. Do you LGBTQ+ folks have any suggestions?

Tim laughed while sipping his tea, shaking his head. He had to use a pie analogy when telling Bruce.

Kate: You're asking the wrong woman. Good luck!

Stephanie tapped her chin thoughtfully just as her mom and Bruce entered the living room, having overheard much of the conversation. Crystal Brown cleared her throat, surprised by the announcement.

Stephanie (spinning around, caught off guard): Ma, what are you doing here?

Crystal: The rat bastard owed me money.

Bruce: I have a name, and it was fifty dollars for gas.

Crystal: Rat bastard—I said it correctly. Silence. Now… Stephanie, are you telling the truth? Are you a wee lesbian?

Stephanie: It’s more than that. I… you see… Ma… It took a lot of soul-searching and being around both genders.

Stephanie took a deep breath, keeping some distance from her mom. Crystal's expression stayed neutral as she waited.

Stephanie: I’m bi. Not a lesbian, and this isn’t a phase; it’s who I am. I understand you’re a born-again Catholic, and I’ve supported that, especially since the church helped you get better. But I hope you don’t disown me. You're the only parent I have and I love you. I know this is new for you, but I’m still the same person.

Crystal tapped her chin, deep in thought. Kate straightened up, waiting for her mother’s reaction. Tim leaned forward, ready to intervene if necessary. Kate even grabbed a book, poised to toss it if the response was negative.

Crystal smiled softly and opened her arms wide.

Crystal: Come here, baby girl.

Stephanie (being pulled into a hug): Is this like a goodbye hug?

Crystal: No darlin' I would never. Jesus taught us to love each other, and while I’m new to this LGBT and Q stuff, what I do understand is that I love ya. You figured out who ya are and told me.

Crystal pulled away and gently cupped her daughter’s cheeks.

Crystal: You have made me so proud. The fact you’ve found out who ya are means you’re doing better than me, your father, or the rat bastard.

Stephanie smiled, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. She hugged her mother again, and Crystal patted her on the back.

Jason (while reading): That’s nice, and Bruce got insulted too. Good day.

Bruce shrugged, annoyed at being insulted without having spoken. Kate dropped the book, placing a hand on her chest.

Kate: Whew, I thought I was going to have to kick her ass.

Crystal: There’s no need for that. I had a friend back in Ireland who was a wee lesbian. Nobody believed that roommate lie. Plus, I’m going to love my Stephy no matter what. The Lord brought us back together, and I want to make her happy. Will grandbabies be in the mix?

Stephanie: I actually don’t mind having kids someday, so yeah, when I’m ready.

Crystal: The Lord is good then.

Stephanie: He or she sure is. I love you, Ma.

Crystal: I love you too, baby girl… even when you test my patience like you did with that wise joke about the Lord.

Crystal and Stephanie laughed, hugging once more. The rest of the Batfamily found the heartwarming mother-daughter conversation touching, but Bruce was still trying to figure out ways to set Cass up with any other woman.

Kate (sniffling): Oh my God, this is so sweet! Times have changed when a Irish Catholic mother accepts her bisexual daughter.

Jason: Are you crying?

Kate (wiping her eyes): I can’t help it! I got hit with all the feels when she didn’t disown her.

Crystal (her arm over Stephanie’s shoulder): I would never disown my flesh and blood. The Lord gave me to her, and I’m not giving her back. If I did, though, I wouldn’t blame ya for poppin' me in the mouth. Speakin' of judgmental pricks, are you ever going to tell that Protestant bastard I conceived ya with?

Stephanie: I’m working on a plan at the moment… it’s going to be good.

Crystal: Tell me how it goes. I can yell at him afterward.

Kate (clasping her hands together): This is so beautiful: acceptance and vengeance! Bruce, how are you handling this?

Kate snickered while covering her mouth. Bruce didn’t respond immediately, but realizing Crystal would be mad whether he spoke or stayed silent, he decided to voice his thoughts.

Bruce: Stephanie isn’t dating my daughter. It’s not happening. It’s good she finally realized her sexuality. Yay, acceptance, but they will not be together!

Tim (interrupting Jason): Bruce, how dare you ruin this Romeo and Juliet relationship?

Jason laughed, nodding.

Stephanie (placing a hand on her chest, dramatically): That really hurts my feelings, Bruce. Ma, I guess I’m not good enough for Cass. Oh, woe is me?

Crystal (angrily, with a tight smile): Stay here, sweetie. I gotta yell at the rat bastard!

Crystal marched over to Bruce and began to yell at him in her thick Irish accent. Kate and Jason watched the argument unfold like it was a televised event, while Damian continued drawing. Stephanie clapped eagerly, already feeling closer to her future girlfriend.

Damian (whispering): If it means anything, I’m not against you two getting together.

Stephanie (whispering): Thanks, kid. That actually means a lot to me.

To be continued and thanks for reading!

had to lower the quality on this to upload it and I want to fight something. Anyways here first stephcass I’ve been able to post for agessss bc the only stuff I’ve been able to do I’m saving for stephcass week (I’m nearly done with everything now tho). Ta da!

[kurosaki]

Batgirl (2025) and Stephcass are single-handedly saving the industry, I love them so much

[aingeal98]

you have only correct cass and stephcass opinions so who do you think fell first/fell harder with stephcass?

CASS it's Cass one hundred percent. Batgirl 2000 is the story of Cass falling both first AND harder while Steph is just rejoicing in the fact that someone in the family will actually treat her as a member of the team. Steph charms Cass completely unaware that that's what she's doing and then when she leaves and Cass just stares at the empty room? Congratulations Cassandra Wayne you just unlocked the pivotal lesbian emotion known as gay yearning.

So "fell faster" is definitely Cass. As for who fell harder, I'm open to Steph proving me wrong and falling harder in the future but right now we have one hallucination vs so much more, attempting heterosexuality to fill the Steph shaped hole after a fight, all of Batgirls where Cass snapped Steph out of a trance by pressing their faces together and telling Steph she's strong, rampaged across town to find Steph fueled by a letter Steph wrote saying she loved her, Steph DID take a bullet for Cass instinctively despite Cass being able to dodge which gets her points but Cass's reaction to that being to raise Steph from the dead while kissing her tenderly and then answer Steph's "you saved me" with

And then the time Steph turned into a giant monster and instead of fighting Cass talked her down with the power of love. Steph is the Lois to Cass's Superman, is what I'm getting at here.

Obviously it does go both ways, Steph is really good at just being a positive influence on Cass, and there's plenty of moments of her complimenting and admiring Cass. But given all the sweeping, devastating more text than subtext moments they've had being mostly driven by Cass? I'd say she still holds the title of falling hardest.

Steph did say I love you first, so she will always have that! But words were never Cass's speciality anyways, not when she can show her love through actions, destructive grieving, and near death hallucinations. Romance at its finest ❤️

[birdiegray01]

You know that wfa chapter where the batgirls have a movie night so I’m imagining that’s a common thing between the three of them. So this means that stephcass are probably being super gay but ofc course not dating because that’s to easy and then there’s Barbara who just wants peace. Like Barbara is just texting dick like “please save me from these sapphic bitchs they are driving me crazy 😭” and dicks just like “damn that sucks sorry girl 🫶”

[xpastelsweetsx]

Age headcanons for the batfam:

Bruce Wayne: 45-47 anywhere around there (kills the fact hes only a decade or so older than dick but also like?? No way bruce is in his 30s and no way dick is in HIS thirties) (do still find the fact there IS only a decade between them in canon hilarious tho) (he could be 37 but him being mid 40s is funnier and more dad)

Babs: 29!! So close to 30 but not quite. Shes actually like excited about being 30 tho?? Just vibes shes hype about it

Dick: 27, he just feels like a tired almost millennial. The appartment him and babs have?? If they break up they still have to split the rent- theyre that broke babes

Jason: 21- puts him at 13 when he becomes robin after dick leaves around 19- I also like the age dynamic between him and Tim being close in age- 4 years is a good “fought all the time til they both grew tf up” gap- talking from experience

Steph: 19. “Oh but that makes the age gap between tim and steph weird during their relationship” yeah well… the entire relationship itself was a bit weird and theyre so sibling/bi besties coded I dont vibe with them dating personally- you can tho <3 =)

Cass: 19. Self explanatory (StephCass my Love)

Duke: 17, him and Tim constantly give each other looks of “everyone around us doesn’t understand social media like we do” (say what you want you CANNOT replicate the tiktok fyp and slang of a high schooler, the minute you graduate something changes)

Tim: 17, forever, point blank period hes never allowed to vote. I think the fact that hes been 17 forever despite the fact damians aged a good 4 years is so funny tbh- i feel bad for him tho, low key being 17 is HELL save HIM AND ME!!!! PLEASE!!

Damian: 14, hes a freshman in highschool, he did middle school during covid, he knows all the fnaf lore and hes not ashamed to tell you ALL OF IT (hes an ipad baby idk how he was with the league but still he just is)
