[DC] The Queen and the Girl who would be Night
Title: The Queen and the Girl who would be Night - a Gotham fairytale
Characters: Cass (Oracle, Steph, Helena, Leslie, Harvey Dent, Dick)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: ableism, mind control, derrealization
Summary: the Queen of Fables takes over Gotham, and Cass is the hero of this story.
Notes & timeline: goes hand-wavy sometime between Infinite Crisis and RIP. Inspiration from the “Queen of Fables” arc of JLA (JLA #47-49). References No Man's Land and some of the unhappy events post Infinite Crisis (specifically, the Deathstroke screwing with Cass' mind storyline, which I've taken a couple liberties with. I don't know either.)
No one's dead, everyone's in Gotham but Jason, Cass is Batgirl, Steph is Spoiler, Tim is Robin.
A huge thank you to silveronthetree, without whom this tale would have no title and a fundamentally flawed ending.
written for the dcu_bang 2012, this fic has gorgeous accompanying art made by dylogger that you can find here.
