[maridee42]

fandom: Batman
warnings: not a positive portrayal of foster care, death, not so much of the cursing, really dark, reference to sexual abuse

characters: Stephanie Brown
author's note: this took a long time to write. I dithered a lot about how to do it, how far to go. this was a good way to reconcile it, I think.

This... is good. Not good as in "a good thing," but good as in "well done."

And the same goes for Steph.

I went into this thinking "you know, Steph deserves some angst fic, she never gets any". This would be why.

Steph's street-smart, you know? She's learned from her dad, but she's also learned what not to do from her dad. And her dad's gotten involved in some darker stuff than original Batverse, because they crack down on the obvious stuff but you can't really get everything, can you.
