request: Honestly, I can't thank you enough for doing "Won't be the same, Dear"! I loved it! I was wondering if you would do one with Ransom x reader with a DC character where she's a family friend's daughter and is overweight and Ransom insults her behind her back and it hurts her. Years later Ransom is at a family function and sees the reader had lost a lot of weight and looks amazing and Ransom tries to hit on her, but she turns him down and then her fiance', Bruce Wayne, swings by to her rescue. 😁 Revenge bodies are the best.! - @aubageddon91
pairing: ransom drysdale x plus size!fem!reader; bruce wayne x plus size!fem!reader
summary: ransom doesn't think you're worthy of him, so you find a man who appreciates you fully.
word count: 2,301
warnings?: ransom makes fun of reader's weight, ransom accuses reader of being a gold digger, fatphobia, revenge body, first time writing bruce so don't yell at me if it's bad, not proofread

Your weight loss journey was something you took great pride in. Growing up, you were the butt of everyone's jokes, the one who was always teased. Your mother put you on Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers before you even hit puberty. And, when that didn't work and she couldn't bear the "shame" of not being able to dress you in the frilly outfits for girls, she resorted to only buying you business casual clothes. While the other girls got to wear bright, colorful outfits, you were stuck looking like you were going to a job interview when you were eleven.
It didn't get any easier as you got older. When kids your age finally began getting crushes and dating, you were the one who was being asked out as a joke. All it ever did was remind you that no one would ever respect you solely because you were a bigger girl. Even as an adult, you would feel like running and hiding any time you walked by a group of guys, waiting for one of them to call out "HEY! MY FRIEND LIKES YOU!" only to dissolve into fits of laughter moments later.
You finally reached your breaking point when every time you went to the doctor to express a genuine health concern, you were met with the "well, maybe if you lost some weight, the problem would disappear" at every goddamn turn. You were sick and tired of everyone's unwarranted comments about your body. It was like the fucking dam broke.
It was as if you couldn't be your own person just because you weren't a size 2 or under. As if you had to fade into the background and, when you couldn't or wouldn't, everyone would take the opportunity to rip you to pieces. But no more. You wouldn't give them that power.
Your boyfriend Ransom let you work out at his home gym. You felt more comfortable there than at a gym. At least at Ransom's house, you didn't have to worry about people laughing at you struggling. Plus, it was a good way to bond with Ransom. You were always so busy with work that you didn't get to see him that often, but now you had an activity you could do together when you were free!
