Author’s Notes: Thank you to the mod for hosting this challenge. Thank you to everyone who has commented on the Robin/Raven challenge, I really appreciate. I had a lot of fun, I’ll definitely be joining this challenge next time.

Raven watches Robin chatting animatedly with Starfire. Jealousy gnaws at her heart, but she refuses to swallow the bitter pill. After everything they’ve shared, Raven wonders if Robin will ever really belong to her.

Raven looks away refusing to torture herself further. She’ll take what she can get. She will settle for what Robin gives her, even if it destroys her in the end.

Raven doesn’t realize Robin’s sitting beside her until he reaches out to hold her hand.

Raven stares at their entwined hands and then Robin’s smile.

She realizes in this moment, Robin will never make her settle.
