Like A Fiddle
is a Stargirl (2020) Fan Fic by justinxx on Fan Fiction.net.
Tropes found in Like A Fiddle:
- Adaptation Expansion: We see a bit more of The Fiddler, Anaya Bowin's father than we do in canon and learn a little bit more about the Bowin family.
- Alternate Universe Fic: Wally West and Gotham are mentioned here, but in canon they don't appear (or at least, if they do, they may not be the same versions).
- Bottle Episode: In terms of location, it's confined to a single location - a single house.
- Darker and Edgier: While its source material was lighter than many DC Universe comics, this is no grimdark story, but it's zig-zagged; it's downplayed in that this is much more cynical and bleaker than a typical Stargirl episode, yet subverted in that the universe it's set in is not intended to be a dark, edgy universe.
- Elsewhere Fic: By virtue of it being a Villain Episode, this counts as an example, especially given the fact it's darker and edgier too.
- Gen Fic: Focusing on a father-daughter relationship, there's no shipping here, instead it's about how relationships can be strained.
- Minimalist Cast: Anaya and Isaac Bowin/Venom are the only characters to appear the entire time.
- Original Flavour: It feels as if it could be an actual Stargirl episode in terms of style and tone, despite the Tone Shift.
- Villain Episode: This is told entirely from Anaya Bowin/The Fiddler's perspective, and focuses on her playing the violin for her father. The protagonist, Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl doesn't even get mentioned.
