I like Robins. I like fic about Robins. I like fic where Robins get together and chat and have awesome adventures of awesomeness. However, some meetings between Robins are harder to find fic for.

This is my crazy attempt to provide one fic for each meet-up.

All Robins, ex-Robins, dead Robins, fired Robins, I-only-was-Robin-because-a-supervillain-cast-a-spell are fair game - so long as they were Robin in comic canon. The table doesn't take into account Dark Knight Returns or the DCAU.

Aww, black out boxes. You saying Robins can't meet themselves? DCU is wonky like that. It could happen easily. ...though, I'd love to say what happens when Jason meets Pre-Crisis Jay. o_o;; I don't see it ending well...

This, by the way, is a lovely idea. Robin love! <3

I'll see about the black out boxes if I get good ideas.

I don't know, chances are that Jason would just freak out - bark over bite, really. Though a lot of it depends on how old each would be.

Eeeeh, thanks!

8D This is so exciting, pre-crisis Jay-bird fic! Wait, if pre-crisis Jason meets Dick, will it be post-crisis Dick?

Also: will you amend the list if Damian becomes Robin after the BftC?

Probably. My knowledge of Pre-Crisis Jay comes from [livejournal.com profile] sharpest_rose's fics, and I wouldn't feel right making him interact with a character from a continuity I know next to nothing about.

When Damian officially becomes Robin... and I have somewhat of a handle on the character beyond 'is a brat and has his characterization arguably warped in BftC'... and I haven't finished the table and/or had my attention snatched by other shiny... I will.

Dude, he really does. Who the shit is this kid, and where's my arrogant assassin brat?! *grumbles at DC*

Oooh, fics! *rushes off happily*

(No chance of your adding Carrie? Heh.)

That's what I got from various people who, unlike me, have had the courage to read RIP and the associated stories. My opinion on Damian is rather neutral (except my issues with him as Robin - look, I ship Batman/Robin and when Bruce comes back from the dead that's one spoonful of wrong I'm not interested in swallowing) but I think what they did to him is likely to stick at least a little, probably because they want to make him more endearing to the readers.

(Noooo, just the Robins that have appeared in main continuity. Also I don't have the money to pick Dark Knight Returns up. Or the time.)

[livejournal.com profile] sharpest_rose put most of her fics on pdf documents yesterday on her lj, which is good since otherwise they're flocked and unreachable. Even Robins LOVE.

*sigh* Really, he doesn't need to do a complete 180 to be endearing. He's practically cowardly in the BftC, and that's not right. He's Ra's grandson, arg!

I mean, haven't these people ever heard of subtle character development? Where was that one fic, the christmas one, where all the Batclan come over for dinner and Damian stomps around demanding they leave, and Cass just yanks him into her lap and makes him act nice? That's endearing, without being a bastardization.

I like Damian because he shakes things up, and I can see him becoming really devoted to Dick and Cass, and Alfred (duh), but it's kinda forced right now.

(Darn. Maybe check the library? She's a sweetie... Also, she eventually graduates from Robin to Catgirl. With sneakers.

Is that not adorable??)

Unfortunately, that would require 1) that DC writers actually paid attention to what other writers have written, and 2) that DC acknowledged Cass as a member of the Batfamily. And since they're trying to push her under the rug... (What? A Batgirl who was completely and utterly devoted to the Mission and who wanted like no other wanted to be the Bat? Surely you jest.)

First meeting between Cass and Damian: I would pay DC good money to write it. ...Or not to put off writing it until they remember how to write Cass and Damian well, at least. That's one meeting (and relationship) that's got so much potential.

I'll see for the library, but... I live in France. There are practically no US comics in libraries, much less DC comics, much less in English. :/ Thanks for the art, though! (*staring at their expressions* *and staring* *and... yeah, you get the idea*)

I know! I mean, he's officially adopted her, too, doesn't that earn her the right to appear in some of the titles? Arg!

Oooh, are you french? :3 I'm french canadian m'self! (There are always online scans, but that's of dubious moral standing)

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! *angry fist of Cass-related righteous indignation* Dammit DC, you got an awesome character right there who's wanted to be the Bat since she came on board and whom Bruce considers as his daughter-of-sorts since as far back as the end of the Murderer/Fugitive arc, who can bring a new, lovely view on pretty much anything, who is now officially his daughter and you know how that is important to Bruce, and you waste her??? < /rant>

Yeah! *waves* :D I'm probably going to try that at some point.
