Rob/Rae will always be my favorite TT pairing – it's a fantastic dynamic I love to explore (hopefully those explorations will be posted soon… I make no promises). But it isn't my favorite dynamic. That right goes solely to Rob/Terra. Why? Well, hopefully these little drabbles/ficlets of mine can do the answering for me. The circumstances on which they're set is going to differ from drabble to drabble, and if I feel the story itself doesn't explain, I will. This particular is definitely set long after Aftershock... the rest, I think I can leave up to you.


In the beginning, he had wondered what Beast Boy saw in her.

Lacking curves of any sort, she was practically an unhealthy twig.

She belched like a guy.

She was hardly what one could call feminine, that was for certain.

How could he take the insecurity?

He once approached Beast Boy with some of these thoughts and more, curious as to how just what went through Beast Boy's head.

The shapeshifter had looked at him strangely before telling him that it was for her shortcomings he liked her.

Surprised, Robin had left without much of a response. It wasn't until months later, holding Terra close as she cried it all out, that he understood Beast Boy's reasoning. As horrible as it sounded, it was always reassuring when you knew someone else had their own flaws, and suffered just as much as you did.
