Me, looking at my Reverse!Robins timeline: “Steph probably doesn’t get her teen pregnancy story in this verse, because it ties weird knots around Tim taking up her mantle. Also because she joins the family much earlier, both as Damian’s apprentice & Bruce’s foster daughter, so she probably would not end up in the same situation to begin with. She also probably wouldn’t have had to give the kid up, because the family would be supporting Steph 1000%, giving her an incredibly stable & reliable support network to give her daughter the best possible life.”

Also me: *starts to write out the ear infection incident, has Jason call Steph “mom,” and Steph’s whole brain shuts down wondering whether this is what motherhood is actually like, how things would’ve gone different if she’d kept her kid instead*

Me, frustrated: “Where does that even fit in the timeline?! There’s no room for a pregnancy plot!”

I wanted to make one of those “imagine fandom in-universe” posts for Reverse!Robins, but then my brain spat out

*imagines finding out people write smut fiction about my DEAD SISTER* …yeah Damian Wayne’s going to hunt you for sport

and refused to give me anything else.
