Summary
A post War-Games AU. Leslie Thompkins almost fakes Stephanie Brown's death, but stays true to her compassionate nature and changes her mind. Thus begins Stephanie's slow journey of healing, of recovery, of confronting her trauma and despair, and of finding out who she is in the ruins of it all. Trying to rebuild her relationships and reconnect with the people she loves.
And as those loved ones face their own struggles--from sudden deaths to mysterious returns-- Stephanie being around changes things quite a bit...
Updated with chapter 7! Excerpt:
"I think if you told Cass what you just told me, it might help. And ooh, maybe tell her about times you’ve felt stupid. Really embarrassing mistakes you’ve made. I’m sure you don’t make a lot of those, but--"
A cackle interrupted them. “Oh, no, she has a long list. I’ll help you remember, Babs.” Dinah Lance sidled in behind Oracle, draping herself over Babs shoulders.

Summary
Batman has potentially the most famous rogue's galleries in comics- Joker, Riddler, Two-Face, and so many others... but this story isn't about Batman and his villains- this story is about loveable underdog, Stephanie Brown (don't fact check the loveable part, just trust me) and between her Spoiler days, brief stint as Robin, and her (so far) shockingly successful time as Batgirl, she's developed her own reoccurring villains! Such as gravity, an awkward relationship with the Wayne family, and of course- the consequences of her own actions!
How long can our heroine completely ignore her past and any lasting impacts it may have left on her mental health? If you ask her, she'd say forever! (She's an optimist now.)
Authors Note: Look! I made a real summary; it only took me 29 chapters to do it :)

Summary
Static buzzed in Tim’s ears as the ceremony began. A pale woman with a slender frame and short ebony hair slinked towards the stage, waving happily to the audience.
“Welcome! Welcome! To the 74th Annual Hunger Games!” The capitol woman chuckled merrily. “This is gonna be such fun! I look forward to another entertaining year!”
SLOW UPDATES, BUT I DO PLAN ON FINISHING THIS!🫡

Summary
Jumping over him, she lands back where the other gun is and picks it up to intimidate him. “Not so tough when you’re not the only one with a gun, huh?”
Before she knows it. The second gun was pointed at her, and as a reflex, she pulled the trigger on the stolen gun. She wouldn’t let it happen again. She wouldn’t let her indecision kill her. Never again.
Bang
The noise didn’t shock her as much as she expected. She remembered when she was top of her class at the School of the Night at the range. The motion was familiar to her, reminding her of her time in London. She pulled the trigger 2 more times to be sure, as if the man was just another paper version of the Justice League. By the time the third bullet left the gun, she realized what she’d done.
Time froze. She watched as the body fell in slow motion.

Summary
The Bat stares at Stephanie for several more moments. Then it straightens itself- Stephanie swears she hears bones cracking as it does- and says in that same gravelly, creaking tone, "Come with me."
I should run, she thinks, though she knows she wouldn't get far. She can't brain this one with a brick and take off. “Why?" she asks, carefully.
The Bat looks at her and doesn't answer. It should be more than enough reason to say no.
It's definitely not a good reason to follow it. But that's what Stephanie does anyway.

And to make matters worse, every single fever was now treated as a medical emergency. Every. Single. One.
OR Tim's first date with Steph gets canceled because his body hates him.

She touched death and learned her lesson after waking up in a hospital bed, and will forever carry the weight of two pink lines and a hard decision.
Steph did not learn her lesson. But her mother stands expectantly at the door, waiting for her to eat at least one bite of the waffle. It’s a dance, and a familiar one at that. So, she picks up the plate and pushes back the bile.

Summary
Batman is dead. The Batcave is trashed. Gotham's protectors have all disappeared overnight. A dark gloom hangs over the city. There are eyes everyone can feel and no one can find.
Stephanie Brown's grand return to Gotham is met with an eerie silence and a disturbing lack of people telling her to go home. All she finds is a murderous brat dressed as Robin and an annoyingly theatrical crime boss that had her old job.
There's a Batman-shaped hole in Gotham, with only one gal left with the measurements to fill it. Who? That'd be a Spoiler.

Summary
Good girls, Steph reminds herself, do what other people want.
They don’t hurt feelings.
And they don’t say no.
—
It takes years before Steph sits up straight, suddenly, at her desk, and throws up right across her spread of chemistry notes as it hits her. As she realizes exactly what she didn't have the knowings to know.
She is four, she is six, she is fifteen, she is eight. She is twelve and she is a thousand years old.
She is body and fear and shaking and spell-speaking, and when her teacher waves a hand in front of her face, Stephanie lunges out of the chair, neck over ass over teakettle over heels, melting onto the floor, crashing under the wave. Steph scrambles to the door. No hall pass. No permission. She is out of the building running with no words to be found before anyone can snatch her, grab her, dig their nails in high up on her arm. She runs for the only place this body can think to run--without her, carrying her.
Her body takes her home.
(This work is part of a series, but you can certainly read it without the extra context, you’ll just miss some references to previous events/story beats.)

Summary
Stephanie’s legs trembled. Her heart was a trapped bird in her throat, as she whispered out a desperate, “please, just eat me.”
Then, as if registering what she just said she let out an even more desperate scream,
“Please don’t eat me!”
Batman sighed. He actually sighed, and somehow that was so much worse. Like he’d resigned himself to the fact that, yes, she didn’t have a lot of meat on her, but he would have to suck it up because she was what the universe had served up for dinner tonight.
He reached out a gloved hand towards her. It was just one limb. Steady and gentle, like the way you might approach a growling, wounded puppy.
She wondered if Batman ate puppies too.
(Or, A chaotic SI in the DC world with faulty knowledge of canon does her best to make Bruce's life difficult for my sick pleasure! :D )
