Summary:
“The eye sees not itself, but by reflection, by some other things.” - William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar In BoP #43, Black Canary tells Spoiler to “go back to the Batboys.” What if she didn’t? Or, three views of Stephanie Brown, in a world that might have been.
Continuity: Post-Crisis Era: Modern Age (1985–now) Comic/Comic arc: Birds of Prey (1999), Robin (1993), Post-Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive Main Characters: Stephanie Brown, Barbara Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Helena Bertinelli, Dinah Lance Main Relationships: Stephanie Brown & Dinah Lance, Barbara Gordon & Bruce Wayne, Helena Bertinelli & Stephanie Brown Comment: This fic shows a canon-plausible way Spoiler might have been taken underwing by the Birds of Prey instead of getting unceremoniously dropped during the Bruce Wayne: Murderer/Fugitive Arc. While Steph doesn't appear in person in every chapter, each offers a window into what resonates about her with each of the POV characters and charts the impact their advocacy has for her.
