Cassandra Appreciation Prompt Week Day 7 Prompt: Legacy

After the Moonstone and leaving Corona Cassandra made a life for herself. And most days she's content. But then she stumbled over a decades old wanted poster and has to deal with the fact her past will never fully go away.

Steph Brown and the Found Family That (Sometimes) Tries to Parent Her

If you’ve read my previous post on Steph as Gotham’s chaos-bringer 💥💜, you’ll know I believe she isn’t just a hero — she’s a survivor with sparkles, a subversive ray of sun in Gotham’s shadows.

But no one survives Gotham alone. And Steph? She chose her family. And they chose her back — in wildly imperfect, deeply meaningful ways 💫

💜 Cass & Steph — The Soft Power Duo Cass is silence. Steph is noise. Cass reads bodies. Steph overshares. And yet, they sync in a way that goes deeper than words. Steph offers light without demand. Cass offers presence without pressure. They fight side by side, they sleep on rooftops together, and in each other’s company, they are safe. It’s not a sisterhood born of matching trauma — it’s chosen solidarity. 🫂

💙 Tim & Steph — The Glorious Disaster That Is Love Let’s be real: Tim and Steph are a mess, and I mean that lovingly. They bicker, they break up, they reunite, they screw it up again. But underneath the drama is a bond built on knowing the real version of each other — the insecurity, the exhaustion, the want. Tim pulls Steph into the mission, but Steph pulls Tim out of his own mind. Is it always healthy? Not exactly. But it’s real, and when it works, it works💔💞

🟣 Babs & Steph — Mentor, Sister, Teammate Barbara didn’t just give Steph the cowl — she gave her a vote of confidence when no one else would. But what began as mentorship evolved into partnership. They push each other. They annoy each other. They believe in each other. Babs teaches Steph how to fight smarter. Steph reminds Babs why the fight is worth it. And sometimes they argue about snacks and surveillance. As it should be 🖥️🍕

Steph’s story isn’t just hers — it’s written in connection. These bonds are messy, but authentic. Traumatized, but tender. And so full of love, even when it’s badly communicated or wrapped in angst.

So no, she doesn’t fit in a box. But she fits into hearts. Especially theirs💜

Okay, so i had this idea about everyone in the batfam. I'm already writing a fic but still wanna talk about it bcuz im better with small hc than a whole ass ff.

So, nobody knows Bruce has children.

He is still a playboy, airhead, nepo baby billionare to all of Gotham, as well as their beloved prince. But he has never, ever, talked, showed, or hinted at having children. Literally nobody knows.

And then, when Damian is around 11, little details start to get out. His secretary reads things in his calendar (about buying tim a gift, about a certain fair in a school, about a ballet dance, about a medical appointment, etc). He bails someone out of the police station for something stupid (and is actually white serious about it, very unlike brucie wayne in front of the GCPS). He seems with people who ARENT young beutiful women in public, and people start to get curious. And there are conspiracys, there are rumors, photos, people talking, etc etc etc.

(I belived i had this idea of his secretary or lawyers seeing how he wants to fucking ADOPT Thimothy Drake after the -honestly suspicious- death of his father, one year after the death of his mother. And the kid, who has NEVER EVER seen with Bruce Wayne, is like yeah okay there is no problen, A ok. And everyone is super preocupated abt it and Bruce has to like,,,, talk abt it)

And when Bruce does talk about it is white a shock, bcuz apparently a child he adopted at 9-11, HIS FIRST SON????, is already 27. And the second one, who has some really weird documds laying around, is 22, and his little girl is 23, and the Drake Heir was adopted by him last year when he had 16, and he also has a bio son who is 11???? and suddeny Bruce is a family man, and when the people get a hold of the social medias of the batfam that are made public or smh, bruce looks SO different. That isn't the fucking man that takes one girl to his bed each night. That is a tired af dad trying to keep up Just Dance with half of his children.

That is an old af photo of him and Dick Grayson, of him and Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Cass Cain, Damian Wayne, etc, etc.

OR

Also Tim, having a normal bussiness life, hiding his status as drake heir or relationship with bruce, having his co workers realize A or B, or his classmates.

Dick, in the police station as a detective, or in the circus he works at as an adult

Damian, taking the surname Head in school, his classmates totally sure he has something shady going on

Jason, a "normal civilian guy" who has arrested by error and the policemen who know him from around watching Bruce Fucking Wayne bailing him out

Cass, in his ballet class, or school/uni, with her friends wondering so much abt her life

AND
