Arkham by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
teh_no, PG13-R
Fandom: DC COMICS
Pairing: Tim/Stephanie
Length: 17 part series
Author on LJ:teh_no
Author Website: livejournal plus ff.net site
Why this must be read:This is an extremely intricate and compelling story set during the time Stephanie is Robin. It has a lot of humor, some wonderful sexiness, and a Stephanie that is very much in character as a likable, smart and funny heroine. Tim is angsty and dark and dismal, just like I like him. And the villain is unique to say the least. The first seven chapters are a self-contained story also found at fanfiction.net under the name "Arkham", but on LJ the author continued the story, encompassing Infinite Crisis and the Omac and Max Lord situations, inserting Tim and Steph into those stories in a fascinating way and dragging along most of the Teen Titans and Justice League as well. Plus there's a really cool Sue Dibny and a wonderful surprise for Steph. It can be a bit triggery for suicide, but I can't believe this hasn't be recced before!
The Redbird had already accumulated a bit of detritus. Tim, dressed in a red hoodie and jeans, filled some Wendy’s take-out bags with an assortment of candy wrappers and soft drink cans, then dumped them into the neighbor’s garbage can. Stretching out into the passenger seat, he had to scoot the seat back before he could get comfortable.
As soon as he got in, he saw what Steph had done to herself. Thick black locks trickled down from her hairline and merged with the collar of her cape.
“Did you dye your hair?”
Robin waved off the suggestion, coquettishly pushing a strand of hair back behind her ear. “No, no, it’s just a wig.”
“I see you still look to Dinah as an influence…”
“Well, we can’t all be Batman Junior…”
Just then, Tim noticed what had happened to the Redbird in his absence.
“Oh God, what have you done to my baby?” he moaned.
Robin smiled beneath her mask and finger-flicked some fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror. “’S my baby now, former boy wonder. Stephmobile, away!”
“Its name is the Redbird.”
“Omigod, you named your car?”
Tim reached out and buffed a coffee ring stain out of the finish. “How’s the old girl been taking care of you?”
“She gets me where I need to go.”
“I was talking to the car.”
“…stop rubbing the dashboard, you freak.”
