I’m only on chapter seventy-eight of CBDS so this might be addressed later, but do you have a specific timeline for the story? I know you’ve followed the general New Earth timeline for the Batfamily (Killing Joke, then Death in the Family, then No Man’s Land, etc.), but I’m unsure how much of that general canon timeline applies to the Titans. In chapter seventy-seven, Dick mentions that Donna and Terry still dated. In New Earth continuity, I know Donna got married at nineteen, had Robbie around twenty-one, and divorced Terry around twenty-two. Garth and Dolphin also got married and had Ceridian when Garth was around twenty-three. I’m unsure when Wally and Linda were married, but I assume that Wally was in his mid-twenties since the West twins were born shortly before Final Crisis. I know Lian is the CBDS universe and Roy still had her around twenty-one. So, did Donna still marry Terry/Garth still have Ceridian/Wally marry Linda/etc.? What aspects of the Titans’ lives exist in your universe? (This is my my very long-winded way of trying to figure out whether or not the other Titans babies still exist or will exist in universe, or if it’s just Lian.) I hope this ask makes sense.
Hi!
I'm glad you're enjoying the fic!
It's a very loose timeline, I'm not following all the arcs to the letter and I'm switching several of them around into different points in time and I'm changing a lot of things simply by making it Dick's POV and by changing his timeline and showing how he would influence certain plot points if they were relevant to him and his relationship with Bruce. I pick and choose arcs I like to use and that fit the story, and I mix references from different media formats/continuities so don't get too attached to any of the original timelines.
As for the Titans, you might have noticed that there's a lot of inconsistencies (like Rose and Joey's roles, for example, Rose pops up so much sooner here and Joey is alive all the way) but that being said- yes, some of their kids will pop up later, even though right now they aren't all that relevant to the plot.
I don't plan for Donna to have had Robbie in this universe because of reasons but she might still come with surprises. In the current timeline Garth already had Ceridian but Dick doesn't know it yet. Roy has Lian (and might have another kid later). Wally is dating Linda but it hasn't been mentioned yet, they will have the twins though. Kori might have a kid too but that's connected to another Titan. Some other Titans may or may not be dating each other.
Also, Jon pops up, he's as important to the plot as Lian.
