*squees and hugs you tightly* Sweetie, this is splendid! All vibrant with Steph and echoey with Jason, like the Cave, like the inside of Bruce's skull. And you wrote this for my birthday? I am wowed, and deeply grateful.

*hugs you again*

*hugs that sentence almost as tightly as she hugs you*

Kat, this is *gorgeous*, as vibrant and vibrating and physical as Stephanie herself. And just as sad, too.

*does a happy dance of yay and hugs Steph -- and Jason -- hard*

It is disorienting to hear a reckless laugh and the 'crunch' of teeth gone from a punch, to look up with a flash of hope and think 'Jason,' and then to see long blonde hair where it should be short and black, a skirt and tights where there should be armored shorts and scarred, muscled thighs.

nnnngh, *flail*

oh steph! oh bruce. *wishes for what could have been*

I was talking to Marcelo about this yesterday and innocently asked 'So if Steph hadn't died, would Bruce have started reverting back to the Bruce Jason had known?'

Because um. That. Could go badly.

Intial reaction: EEEEEEEE!

And then I went: Bruce, how did you not know she was Doomed?

And now back to the EEEEE STEPH!

[katarik]

And then I went: Bruce, how did you not know she was Doomed?

She's an Even Robin.

Steph is Love and Glee and Fear. In a fantastic way.
