god I love the all caste

ofc!! and yes i can tell-- DC is so horrible to steph (and its female characters in general) but you genuinely write her with such care

thank you so much for the list and if it really isn' a bother, i would def appreciate one for tim as well 😊

first off i am so sorry for the delay, my school year just ended so things have been hectic!! to make up for it i added a ton of fics here i hope u enjoy <3

previous lists here! steph dick pt. 1 dick pt. 2 tim+dick

a nest torn empty \ yesteryears \ robin's don't make great roommates - all helena and tim centric!! i am a sucker for these two being siblings

not within this restless heart - Tim's sleeping schedule leaves things to be desired. Sometimes, Damian's does too. Miraculously, this doesn't cause nearly as many issues as one would think.

off-grid - In which Tim and Damian go on an impromptu camping trip.

and in that moment - Time keeps slipping away from Tim like sand. All he has are flashes of events that he can barley grab on to. Even worse his family is acting strange and he can't keep it together long enough to ask them what's going on.

the return - Red Robin 11 and 12, from Dick’s POV. Tim comes home.

a leap of faith - "Oh. Right. He’d been pushed off the building."

such trouble - "Tim’s vitals are displayed in heartbreaking clarity on the screen. They aren’t horrible, Tim thinks. “Goddamn it,” Dick mumbles."

miles and miles (in their shoes) - Tim and Damian switch bodies, the two of them realize exactly why the other does the things they do.

the fire eats fire (and the fire's in you) - Tim just happens to be a very large, fire-breathing lizard. He manages, until he doesn't.

books and pens - After the flood, there are galas. And Bruce befriends a two-year-old Tim Drake at one of them.

experimentation - Tim watches his mom get ready to go out, then takes his own turn at it.

you long for a feeling you'll never get back - In a family made of up people unused to having such a big family, sometimes you get lost in the noise. And Tim has always been taught to be the child that was seen, not heard.

way down, hadestown - In which Damian's dead and Tim has lost one too many people to accept that.

between two urns - Christmas Eve may not be the best time for a funeral, but at least Tim won't have to deal with a lot of people. His parents are dead, and he's alone, and his Uber driver didn't show. Mr. Wayne did.

detachment - Bruce just wants all his sons home for the holidays. Tim thinks something more sinister may be at work.

i'd fly far away from here - “Tim, you’re in a strange city you don’t live in, staying with a person your dad barely knows. He’s probably worried sick.”

i can (hopefully) do this all night - Or the one where their patrol night goes to shit and Tim has a really stubborn little brother that apparently wants to die again just because he's stubborn as fuck. Sucks for Damian, though, because Tim is used to doing the exact opposite of what Damian wants just to spite him. Like a good big brother.

home decor - Bruce is helping Duke remodel his bedroom, but Tim's bedroom is one good clean away from looking ready to host a new guest.

i've just spent the day reading like every batfam fic of yours and i just had to say i'm in loveee with your characterizations, as well as your writing style!! the way u write steph is literally chef's kiss, let alone the rest of them

i know you put up a list of some of your favorite steph fics and i was wondering if you could also give recs for tim drake and/or dick grayson?

this means so much to me thank u <33 steph is so compelling to me and im also driven by hatred towards dc for how little they use her/how they ruin her writing when they bother with her at all

i made a rec list for dick and tim+dick too, and i meant to link them all together but ive just realized that i never did that my bad!!

dick tim+dick steph tim

those are the ones ive made so far, and under the cut are more dick ones that ive since read!! im unsure if you meant for a tim one specifically but if so, just drop me another ask and ill make one :)) its no trouble at all i have a lot of fun with these!

poison oak - Dick saves Jason from the vigilante life. In turn, Jason saves him back.

in this or any other universe - Dick Grayson (DCU) accidentally lands himself in Battinson’s Gotham. (one of my top top top favs)

gotham academy shenanigans - In which Dick, Artemis, and Barbara are friends at school during Young Justice Season One like they should've been.

oh but if i could choose, i would choose not to feel - "His eyes flicked over the long room, evaluating and searching. When he finally spotted him, Bruce’s heart plummeted. Dick Grayson was slouched at the crumb flecked bar counter, staring blankly into a barely touched pint with a hand twisted in his hair. Misery personified."

door, opening - The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers. (another fav)

stray marshmallows - stray fluffy ficlets about Dick and Bruce from 2024 that belong nowhere else.

early morning emergency - “Um,” asks the little voice at the other end of the phone, “are you Selina?”

Selina pulls the phone away from her face to check the screen again, making sure that she’s not going crazy. No, the phone calling her is definitely Batman’s.

“What,” she says, “the hell?”

the futility of a man's protest - How Dick joins the Batfam Suicide Squad in an inverse superhero-supervillain universe.

and life is long (and you are young) - Bruce Wayne: Teen Bat extraordinaire, and his (mis)adventures with Robin and more.

all of dustorange's fics

i think youre just confusing having a personality/being a flawed character with being a dick. she wasnt really an asshole at any point imo just very blunt and forward

youre right in saying that fandom and modern comics reduce steph to a two dimensional cheerleader, but her flaws and bad decisions are still mentioned constantly, just in very bad ways both writing wise and personality wise. unfortunately dc only remembers that steph died and was robin when they want to shit on her. fandom culture acting like steph is perfect and an angel is less about steph herself and more about misogyny in general. cass is always described as "and thats just how cass is shes way better than us" because people refuse to spend any meaningful time with female characters, hence their widespread reductive perceptions

I'm not sure if it's just me, but something that I love about Steph—especially during her short time as Robin—was how deeply flawed and lowkey an asshole she was. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I personally find it hard to find female characters that are allowed to be that: very, VERY flawed and self centred in some ways without being a villain. It's especially hard to find teenage girls written that way and when they are, people typically tend to villainise them or ignore the flaws and nuance behind the characters in order to paint them as this picture perfect angel.

While I'm not the biggest fan of how the writers handled her, I actually enjoyed her ego and numerous flaws (though sometimes it can be a bit much) and I just wish that there was more attention to how imperfect she was by the writers (and the fandom) instead of it getting brushed off. I love it when she's an asshole and makes bad decisions but dear lord, let her grow from it the same way other characters do! Absolutely hate how her bad decisions just got shoved under the rug by both the writers and the fandom. Let my girl be an asshole again and let her learn from it!! Her being a dick was personally my favourite part about her but there's no point in a character having flaws if it doesn't actually affect them and isn't addressed.
