robin_raven | Geography of Trust; Chapter II

title: The Geography of Trust (2/?)
fandom; pairing: Teen Titans/DC canon; eventual Robin/Raven
rating: PG-13 for violence and potentially disturbing psychological themes
summary: The Republic is Plato's utopian vision made real, and AEGIS (synonyms: success, elite, specialized; antonyms: failure) is its very own Praetorian Guard. There are shadows amongst all the brightness, however, and rot at the core of all the sweetness. All one has to do is stir a little, and all sorts of interesting things can come bubbling up.
notes: Beta'd by

rae00, who is awesome and tolerates my butchering of the English language as she goes through it with her red correction notes. &hearts And, as always,

straitwaistcoat endures all my whinings about plot and muses with her usual amazing patience.
Oh, and this is an AU. Very very AU. You'll see what I mean.
disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, or Batman. Inspirations drawn from Equilibrium, Witch Hunter Robin, Brave New World, Plato's Republic,, and the Roman Empire. (I'm fairly certain I don't have to disclaim that last one, though I've certainly never owned it, so there you go. Disclaimed.)

Will I get bricked if I say "the plot thickens"? ... The plot thickens. >D
