DC Reboot: on not letting the door hit me on my way out.

[runespoor]

So I've taken to stalk a bit of Gail Simone's Twitter - I know, I know, how the mighty are fallen - and I've realized that there's one thing that would keep me from leaving DC, even if Steph and Cass aren't immediately* accounted for in Continuity 3.0.

*(I mean, there's bound to be a writer somewhere who's introduce them as cameos for the sake of nostalgia, right? And then they can slip back into canon! I know, I know, keep on dreaming.)

My exception is if DC writes existing characters as lgbtq. I'll stick around then. Gotta encourage diversity, and it'll be a very welcome change.

I think it's not so much I want Steph to go back as much as I want them to do it right. RETCONNING YEAH! Or something. just redo it alllll.

THIIIIIIIIIIIS. Of course it's always going to end badly, 'cause yeah, Robin and growing up is hard. But the writer could at least treat her with some respect while she's Robin!

I also want lots of borderline occ fic about Batman all all his robins. INCLUDING STEPH. :(

Want me to look around in my list o' links? But I'm pretty sure I don't have a lot (if any...) about Bruce and Steph. Unless it's AU and angsty, or Bruce/Steph. To be fair, these last are drabbles. Mostly. I ship Batman/Robin as a matter of principle in almost all of its iterations, don't judge me.

Oh I ship Batman/Robins myself. But mostly I want AU fics where all the Robins are living with Bruce and Alfred. Super hero or not. PLAYBOY MILLIONAIRE COLLECTS ORPHANEDISH KIDS. NEWS AT ELEVEN.

It's actually every inch as ridiculously hard to find fic that fit your criteria in the stuff I was thinking about, mostly because my taste run to the angsty or do not feature Bruce in a major capacity. I do have some lovely fics about awwbatfamily, but they tend to happen in the middle of canon so they're really more h/c for me, with canon being the h. There's also no Damian, these fics having been written pre-him.

Mary's Gold (http://sharpest-rose.livejournal.com/484536.html) sounds like the thing I've read that's most like what you'd like to read. (I don't like the fic that much, but hey: four Robins, Bruce.)

Betty's written two things that probably don't really make the cut as they don't include Bruce. BUT THEY'RE SO HAPPY. The first one (http://brown-betty.livejournal.com/59869.html#cutid1) is about Tim and Steph being Robin, and the second (http://brown-betty.livejournal.com/38933.html#cutid1) takes place in more or less the same continuity as Gold above, and I love that one.

Two-Wheeled Birds (http://rubynye.livejournal.com/158669.html) is four shorts drabbles about the Robins and their bikes. It is glorious.

The Happyverse (http://mildredmilton.livejournal.com/tag/happyverse), which is mostly porn where all the Robins are alive. Jason is Red Hood, but aside from that, it's, well the happyverse. I won't even attempt to list all the ships.

And also two totally gratuitous Bruce/Steph (Batman/Robin) drabbles by Petra:

And yet again (http://petronelle.livejournal.com/260821.html#cutid1)

Haha I don't think most people in this fandom want to write my borderline ooc silly dreams of happy batfamilies.

Thanks for the recs!
