#grandpa Wayne remains the best tho

[lilpomelito]

girldads Steve and Eddie. their oldest looooves sports and she's crazy good at soccer (making auntie Robin proud). everyone would assume Steve would be her biggest fan (and he is!) but it's actually Eddie the one who's getting into loud arguments and even fights with all the other soccer moms. yes Jennifer your brat just kicked my baby on fucking purpose she has to get a red card this is so unfair and Steve has to drag him away to stop him from strangling another kid's parent. their girl loves the drama, she's kind of a queen bee who lives for her dad's crazy sense of theatrics.

and then their youngest wants to learn music and she starts with guitar because that's what's at home and Eddie is so proud of how quickly his baby is learning, then Steve teaches her what he remembers from his piano lessons. but she wants more, so she asks robin for trumpet lessons. but that's not enough she seems to be some kind of music savant and plays the violin next, and then the drums when she convinces Garreth to teach her. then she begs for oboe lessons. she's a little rascal stealing instruments from the school's music classroom. and you'll find Steve loudly arguing with the principal when she gets caught again, no I won't stop her, yes she has ten instruments at home but she wants to learn more, what kind of institution is determined to stagnate a kid's learning development? and Eddie has to rescue them both before his husband gets their child expelled from the expensive fancy school for gifted kids

#just Steve and Eddie very aggressively supporting their girls interests #because they know how awful it feels when your own parents don't give a shit about you #grandpa Wayne remains the best tho #steve harrington #eddie munson #steddie #stranger things #girldads steddie #mine

Hey! I just started reading the HfaB universe stuff. And I really like reading your stuff with Terry. I was hoping for some stuff with older Lian. Since she is probably my favourite kid in the comics. I think it would be cool tho to see some Terry and Lian besties interaction

Hello,

Lian and Terry are HfaB besties but for whatever reason this one shot did not go in that direction, but I hope you enjoy older Lian! =)

Sadie Hawkins Problems...

Lian Thea Harper was not a wuss, nor was she intimidated, and she firmly believed that she could take whatever problem came at her head on and with a lot of fire power backing her up.

After all, she was the daughter of Roy Harper and Jason Todd.

And YES, she was their daughter, didn’t matter that both her dads were married, they were her parents well before they had gotten hitched. Which was why, Lian had a problem at school with the Sadie Hawkins Dance, she would fucking handle it! It wasn’t like she was a pussy and couldn’t ask a guy out!

She was not a lesbian or something despite the rumors flying around behind her back; she was aware of the rumors, she just didn’t give a shit. If the best thing people had to obsess about was the sexual identity of someone who was not them, then they were sad folks. Besides, it wasn’t like it would fucking matter. Sex was private and personal and everyone else’s opinions could butt out.

But the problem was, she had boasted she’d be at the dance; with a date, and even if it killed her (because it really and truly just might), she would have a date for the night. Allie Jackson had ignited the challenge to Lian by laughing in Lian’s face when Lian had straight up said she would love to go to the dance but she had plans. Then Ally had proceeded to inform Lian that she was essentially an ugly, tasteless cow who wouldn’t dare to show her face at the Sadie Hawkins dance in shame because her unfeminine self couldn’t even attract a guy. Lian of course had only just refrained from punching Allie in her stupid face, but stated she’d be there, in a dress and with a date! And the problem was: no guy apparently was ballsy enough to just man up and say yes to her. She had asked her crush, the linebacker on Varsity, but he said he was waiting on Sandy Swanson’s ask, her second crush, the point guard, had said no so nervously after assuring her he was flattered and thought it sweet she was trying to stay in the closet but he was going out of the closet (yeah, that one was a shock), and the geek in chemistry, he had had an asthma attack and she had run him to the nurse’s office.

Which was what brought her into the Young Justice meeting.

Normally she would NEVER do this. But she was desperate.

Her team, her childhood friends, who were really more like siblings, if she was honest, consisted of Mar'i Grayson (who could literally get anyone she wanted if she asked), Helena Wayne (who was liable to steal it if people didn’t just hand it over to her), Max (Terry’s BFF at school who was tech support, and who also could get anyone she asked out to say yes), and Terry. There was also Mareena Curry (Princess of Atlantis), Nora West, Lara Kent, and finally, there was Tai Pham.

Her options were limited, but she’d be damned if she let Allie Jackson be right. She refused, so that left her desperate and scraping the bottom of the barrel as she stalked into YJ HQ and saw Terry working with his older brother on hand to hand while Jason talked the gathered members through what Robin was doing.

Lian stalked to the locker room, not even acknowledging her dad as she went there; she’d change, have a spar and then proceed to blackmail Terry into attending the dance with her; or Tai. The problem was she didn’t have blackmail on Tai, so she’d probably be blackmailing Terry.

Briefly Lian paused in the mirror, she was in sweats and a sports bra, and she looked at herself seriously in the mirror. Okay, so she wasn’t queen of the looks department like her biological mother was. Her black hair never laid down nicely, her nose had been busted when she was ten and testing on of Grandpa Ollie’s arrows, her face wasn’t bad, and she didn’t have a curvy figure but she was tall and athletic, she wasn’t gangly or disproportionate. She had nice skin, though there was a bit of acne on her brow from her domino mask, but she wasn’t ugly. Sure she had never put on all that makeup or dressed up for school; usually sticking to hoodies, jeans and boots, but she wasn’t hopeless!

Sighing she yanked her hair up and zipped up her hoodie. Perhaps the problem was she was tall and athletic, it wasn’t like people knew she was Speedy!

Lian sighed as she slumped against the wall and Mar'i flounced over. She could envy Mar'i, think everything was easier for Mar'i but Lian knew that that was far from the truth. Nothing had been easy for Mar'i Grayson, she knew that, but still, Lian kind of envied Mar'i for looking like a goddess.

“What’s got a frown on that face?” Mar'i giggled poking Lian’s dimple.

“Stupid stuff,” she snapped glaring at Mar'i.

“I doubt that,” Mar'i giggled. “Come on, you can tell me!”

“I need a stupid date for that stupid Sadie Hawkins Dance or that dumb bitch Allie Jackson is going to make my life a living hell for the remaining two years of high school!” Lian shrieked. And she really wanted to punch Mar'i for giggling at her plight.

“You need a date!?” her head snapped over to Tai who stood there looking at her and Mar'i.

“Uh… yeah,” she grimaced.

“I have never been to a high school dance before, it could be fun! Can I go!?” Tai pleaded.

“This was way easier than I was expecting,” Lian said.

“Is that a yes!?” he grinned. “I know all the cool dances and I promise not to geek out and make you uncool!” he promised.

“Uh… I’m cool with geeking out, so long as we don’t debate Star Wars.”

“Deal!” Tai grinned.

Lian smiled at the smaller Green Lantern and was immensely grateful to have him around now as she accepted him as her date for the Sadie Hawkins Dance.

“I get to pick the dress and pretty you up so Allie Jackson can eat her words!” Mar'i whispered as Tai bounced off.

“Obviously I need yours and Helena’s help!” Lian muttered.
