BREAKING: Masked vigilante spotted sneaking into hospital to kiss cute med students. More of the story at 10

[ravensroundofrobins]

It’s 2019, and I’ve been running this blog for months now. There’s no excuse y’all.

If ya wanna read up on Steph’s time as Robin, most of those issues are collected in the Batman: War Games trade. Duke’s the star of We Are Robin and Batman & the Signal, both of which are relatively quick reads and he’s amazing. Plz I’m 🅱️egging y’all to expand ur horizons beyond the same 4 batboys. Batman has a minimum of 6 kids legally & 8 total (emotionally) at any given time. ASK QUESTIONS if u honest to god have no clue abt them. It’s what I’m here for.

Steph, drunk: Haha youre... gay

Raven: babe, we've been married for 3 years

Desert nights I like
Seeing you under the stars' light
Through the fire as bright
Wanna know what your love feels like

Summary:

In a world where Stephanie Browns mother had an affair and her husband found out, Stephanie turns to the streets to avoid Cluemaster's rage and runs into a fellow street rat named Jason Todd. Together they do their best to survive before Destiny takes hold once more and the two have a run in with Gotham's Terrifying knight.

Will Batman provide them with the Pack they so desperately crave, or will another alpha rise to the challenge?

Raven: ...is there a difference?

Spoiler, under her breath: how can someone so hot say something so offensive

Ideal meeting for Raven and Spoiler:

They’re in a fight together with the teen titans or something. Both of them loose their cloaks. They retrieve cloaks, but they accidentally grab Each Others cloaks. Shenanigans ensue.

What’s ur policy for RobRae that isn’t dick as Robin? Like femslash StephRae? (tbh it’s my fav but there’s so little content!!! D: ) can those robrae pairings be included in robrae week? (Or maybe we could do another, more general week for those ones that don’t get as much of a spotlight?)

personally i love raven ships with other robins, but this blog was made specifically for dick grayson/raven! RobRae has been the ship name for dick/raven since 2003 so thats why the blog is titled as such.

that being said, if someone makes a raven/robins week or weekend i would definitely advertise it here! i could even help them set it up :D (or, hell, i could make it and then give it to someone more qualified to run a robins/raven week lol)

[birdswap]

Not that this au needs anymore layers but rn I’m thinking abt alternative versions of this with Raven switched out with the other robins (bc unfortunately dc’s aged her down p consistently so a lot of diff versions of her could be swapped in certain canons right?) also yes we’re talking ALL the robins plz let me kno if I missed one

Like. A JayRae one could be rlly interesting with Rae becoming red hood

And idk how a TimRae one could work but I’m sure there’s some potential there

StephRae (even if it’s only for .05 seconds lmao) but they’d probably look at the spoiler vs raven costume and be like ‘mmm borderline copyright but ok’

And ofc a DamiRae one would work rlly well if we’re talking the DC animated uni altho I still see Rae being a lot more chill compared to Damian in that

I have no earthly clue how DukeRae could work but I want it now I want all the bases covered dammit don’t gloss over Duke as a Robin plus he n Rae would be cute. Idk abt chemistry but that’s the beauty of fandom right?

OH SHIT AND BEFORE I FORGET CarrieRae. Omigoshhhhhh I fricken love Carrie it might be a RLLY big stretch to get that one to work but I AM DOWN

[dyketectivecomics]

Med Students Steph n Rae pulling all nighters together but taking it in stride bc their vigilante activity already royally fucked their sleep schedules

Med Students Steph n Rae commenting in class abt how Bones Sound or how you don’t realize it’s That Much Blood until you’ve seen it urself or how metahumans can heal so wildly differently from humans not that they’ve seen any of that in person ofc no siree

Med Students Steph n Rae binge-watching and berating med shows together with steph insisting ‘we should totally start a podcast’ and rae vehemently refusing

Med Students Steph n Rae 

[dyketectivecomics]

fjkdls randy i meant stephrae

*applies clown make-up* *puts on my wig* *honks my nose* TAKE TWO!!!!

Which one is more fond of scary movies: Steph. absolutely Steph. kid was born, raised, & has died in Gotham. nothing can scare her. she LAUGHS watching scary movies.

Which one gets the most excited about Halloween: so i stand by what i said abt rae being low-key abt her halloween love. but Steph absolutely wears her heart on her sleeve abt her love. ‘fricken BATS. i LOVE halloween’ is quoted EVERYDAY & every time they’re on patrol too fjkdlal

Which one would be more likely to survive the apocalypse: Raven still takes the cake here, but steph i believe in u girl! <3

Which one would literally kill for the other: again, considering the Parallels btwn steph n jay & how quick she is with that righteous temper…. i mean i can see her being pushed to that edge if someone she cares abt is Hurt™

Which one likes to scare or startle the other: absolutely see steph trying her DAMNEDEST to get the drop on raven but…. she just cant. its fish in a barrel. rae can feel her from a mile off fjkdlajf sorry babe. aint gonna happen unless she tries to do a ‘horrible pretending-to-die prank’ to try to give her a heart attack lmao 

Which one is more likely to need comforting when they get spooked: STILL raven. she’s dealing with So Much All The Time & needs that good cry

Which one always puts on a brave face: steph. she aint afraid of no ghost! “I AM the ghost!”

Which one would be more dangerous if they suddenly became violent: Raven. next q lmao

Which one would be more likely to commit a crime: stephanie “ignorance of the law SHOULD be an excuse” brown

Which one believes in ghosts: again, raven def Sees Dead People Way Too Often. but steph? wholeheartedly believes. even before she died. she Knew Something Was Up.

Which one likes to watch spooky show on television: BOTH. together! under a pile of the softest blankets & fluffiest pillows! w/ COPIOUS amounts of hot chocolate!

Which one would propose the idea of holding a seance:steph: babe, babe, babe. so me n cass were talking and-raven: *rings up traci 13* hey yeah can you tell my girlfriend why its a Bad Fucking Idea, she won’t listen to me.

Which one has nightmares more often: :) guess what scoob. dying and coming back definitely leaves unresolved trauma™ for ‘em both!

Which one would want to explore a real haunted house:raven: why would you want to go find ANOTHER haunted house? you already visit wayne manor every day?steph: *spitting out her drink* I’m sorry W H A T

Spooky Meme: Send me a pairing & I’ll fill out a list of headcanons!

[dyketectivecomics]

He’ll do it, too!!

[ravensroundofrobins]

Like. There’s a lot of stuff left to explore with StephRae tho??? Why aren’t we (the three of us who are out here making content at least lmao) talking more about this. Ok like:

they both have Terrible Villain Dads

plenty of moments where they’re screwed over by writers

DIED???? AND BROUGHT BACK??? And I will NOT let anyone forget those messes thanks

their moms are actually kinda badasses too but barely anyone in fandom bothers to get to know them lmao much less acknowledge that they’re. Yknow. Alive and Well usually.

(This ones a bit of a double edged sword I think) since they were usually always attached to another hero/group at their start, ‘relationships with others’ is one of the most important parts of their early character development, and THEN they got more of a chance to stand on their own in solos and such and idk. I just think that’s a Neat Meta Parallel to draw

Yes I absolutely love the memes of how much they love waffles & purple but like..... there’s some Substance here and I gotta remember to Dig Deep next time I write for them. Y’all call me out when I don’t.

[dyketectivecomics]

Also could I pleeeease get a stephrae b2: "you want a bite?" Love ya

So i know i SAID i had hw to finish up BUT LISTEN. we DESERVE more stephrae in this world so i HAD to finish this lil ficlet! HOPE YA LIKE IT SQUIDS

…

The empath had only stepped out for a moment. A simple errand while one tray of cupcakes was baking in the oven, and another cooling before she could add the frosting. A third had been long since prepped, and was nearly ready for packing. Everything would be ready for transport before the party at the manor.

And since Steph was in from her mission for the night, the doctor could stand to run down to the basement to check their laundry at this odd hour in the night. She was almost certain that her girlfriend was incapable of burning down the building while she was gone, and certainly hopeful that she’d keep an ear out regardless for when the timer ran out.

Upon her return with their load of laundry in hand, however, Raven could only watch in horror as the former girl wonder continued an assault on the confectionary that she had spent the better part of the evening perfecting.

It wasn’t so much the act of eating itself that she abhorred, but rather the fact that Stephanie seemed in no way at all inclined to stop anytime soon.

After watching her mindlessly inhale mini-cupcake after mini-cupcake, the empath finally choked out, “So… I take it they’ll be a hit with the Bats?”

To which the Spoiler whipped her head around, while also trying to maneuver out of her seat and cover the crime scene with a sweeping motion of her arm. And somehow between all of that movement, she only managed to fall out of the chair and onto the floor. Cupcake and frosting were already smeared across her face, it began mixing none too delicately with blood from a freshly split chin.

“OW! Oh god, ow! Babe, don’t Batman me like that! Ow, ow!” Strings of curses and moans of pain could only be quieted by cool healing hands.

“Did a goon knock your last remaining brain cell loose, or did you simply forget that those cupcakes were meant for the whole family tonight?” Raven asked as she checked over Steph’s chin one last time for any lasting damage.

“Uh… can I plead the fifth?”

The empath closed her eyes and let go of a long-suffering sigh. “Please tell me you didn’t touch the oven before I came in at least.”

“Yeah, see, about that-” Steph laughed nervously as she reached for what remained, only a few meager minis not yet decorated with their finishing bat-sprinkles, “You wanna bite?”

Raven ran a hand over her face before snatching the offending treat from Steph’s hand.

“For the record,” she gulped, “I think you really outdid yourself, babe. I mean, the smell alone made me forget that they were for the party and-”

“Steph. Love. The more you talk, the deeper the hole is going to be-”

“Been dead, babe,” she smiled, “Done that. Don’t care to repeat-”

“And yet, she still talks,” Raven quipped back.

Stephanie put her hands up in defeat, before miming the act of zipping up her lips in response. 

‘Better?’ she mouthed.

Raven tried biting back a smile, but couldn’t help herself.

‘Better,’ she mouthed back.
