Can’t help but wish you wrote out that rooftop conversation, between Steph and Renee, where Steph talks about what led up to her sleeping on Renee’s couch. I go back to that moment a lot whenever I’m revisiting Twists and Turns, it’s such a pivotal moment. In a lot of ways, I feel like that’s Steph’s lowest point in the story- obviously, losing Robin and being tortured by Black Mask were extreme lows, but neither parts are remotely as impactful to me than when she’s left thinking, “I was going to be free.” The idea of that, that she was going to come out, to choose to trust Tim with herself, and quite literally having the door shut in her face, being left to feel like her very being was callously rejected and discarded- as a trans woman, this sounds like my worst nightmare. Anyways, that was long winded as hell, but that scene always stood out to me, and seeing Renee’s perspective was cool, and it would be cool to see more of their conversation together, if you feel so inclined. Regardless, much love, this story is incredible<3
honestly it never occured to me to write the rooftop conversation, simply because it's outside of the purview of the fic. While I included the details of the future to explore more of the context of the scene, the focus was always meant to be on this first meeting, from Renee's POV.
