fourofthem asked: Hey what would Cass be doing in the fanfiction headcanon?
So Cass doesn’t interact with the fandom directly, because she frankly has better things to do/the whole thing confuses her. Steph sort of roped her into it by telling her all about it. Cass enjoys it when Steph gets worked up and full of feels, so she decided that she likes fandom for that reason alone. When Dick found out that his precious sister had been pulled into the dark corner of reality that is the fandom part of the internet, he was caught between the urge to burn her computer in a fit of protective destruction and amusement over how baffled by the whole thing Cass seemed to be. So Dick and Steph decided that ~Dramatic Readings~ were in order—-because Dick fucking loves story time and Steph is a dirty rotten enabler. Every other Thursday is Fanfiction Theatre, and most of the other Batfam members show up out of morbid curiosity. Damian did not get a choice in whether or not he attends Fanfiction Theatre, naturally, but Tim comes to make sure they don’t read any of the fics lurking in his sordid fandom past (Dick reads them aloud anyway).
Tim can’t handle Fanfiction Theatre. He just can’t. Dick and Steph take turns with all of the parts, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they’re acting out fictional stories of their actual lives. It’s too much meta for Tim. He has to go lay down afterward.
(Cass plays Bruce in all the Dramatic Readings. She pulls off the Bat Loom better than anyone.)
