wow, I am so looking forward to the rest of this. I love how Tim and Kon's relationship is shown, caring and sweet, but still strained because of Tim's need to keep everything to himself. the bits where we did get to see them just being a cute couple were adorable. I can feel the tension already. :)

my heart goes out to both of them. I dunno who I want to hug more (maybe Kon cause fucking HELL its *the most* frustrating thing in the world to be faced with such stubbornness)

I really like how...emotional this is. Kon not holding back and Tim trying to keep himself in check. Its just so very tense and hnnnngh very very delish~

Tim *knocks on his head* you and your insane (but understandable to me) need to keep everything to yourself...oh babybird :(

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!! OMG. I am shaking from my love for this. I have been on such a huge TimKon kick lately, and seeing this has just made me soar. xDDDD ( ... )

EXCELLENT ♥ Regalo de Noche Buena, entonces ♥ Wow. You really write thorough reviews... that's incredible I was like, WOAH, look at that wall of text lolol.

And... wow, I'm so happy that you noticed all those little details and they worked for you!

I think I really like writing from Kon's point of view... this wasn't as emotive as, say, Through Another Lens, but Kon just feels so much and so thoroughly that he's just nice to write cause it allows for a lot of expression. With Tim, despite the fact that he feels just as much, he's more... reserved about it, so you have to make sure his thought process are rational, and I guess for him it's more the involuntary physical reactions that give him away.

BWAHAHA, I am a tease! ♥ I have about half of the next chapter posted, and after that there's only a little left I think.

Thank you again, I really wasn't expecting you to be that thorough lol.... ♥ It was a wonderful thing to wake up to. .... and I'm friending you on LJ, btw!

Lol!! I ramble so much when I fall in love with someone's writing.

Yes I really enjoy your Kon voice. His emotions shine through so brilliantly, but so does his intelligence. Sometimes I see people write from his perspective, but they interpret the canon fact of Tim being smarter than Kon as a license to make Kon totally dumb-- but anyone looks dumb next genius. So I really enjoying seeing Kon the way you've interpreted him here. He may never be as brilliant as Tim, but he's still capable of deductive reasoning.

I love really detailed fics, because as someone who's visually fixated it's those details that allow me to envision everything so clearly. I also like to point out the ones that strike me, because as a writer I know how much thought goes into the process of creating a scene or describing an action, and how it feels when someone notices those things-- it's sorta like yes!! I didn't include that in vain!!!! (TvT) *manly tear*

So prepared to be verbally accosted for the next chapters!!! xDDDD

MANLY TEAR *dying of laughter*

Yeah, exactly, "I didn't include that in vain!" hahaha, it's that feeling exactly. And honestly, I need to take a page from your book and become more detailed in my reviews - it's just.... laziness, so I reserve that for writers I have a thing for lolol, or fics that really were just like, wow. But I need to do that again, cause yeah, it feels so good to the writer to see detailed reviews - reviews are our lifeblood!

Yeah, I feel you need to have a certain level of basic intelligence to bea superhero in the first place - teamwork isn't easy, reading other people, villains, situations, and coming up with clever plans to beat them isn't something just anyone could do. I think it's a more insitictive, gut-feeling intelligence than Tim's though.

can't wait ;)

P-pretty...

Your writing is so beautiful. I mean, it opens up with such great characterization of both Kon and Tim with such minimalism, which is something I envy because I have a problem with rambling in my writing. You establish the understanding of behavior between Kon and Tim so easily and reinforce it without overdoing it...uggggh I want your pithiness!

The way you write Tim is wonderful, in all his closed off freaking out. And you can just sense his desperation at keeping his issues under control and hidden, and Kon trying to deal with it and worrying and getting angry and that almost making it worse but also driving his point home to Tim. It's just a very well-written struggle. I can feel Tim's struggle because there are just some things you can't and don't want to say out loud and yet he knows it's lying and hiding things and that it angers Kon. And I can feel Kon's struggle because he understands Tim and all his neurotic things that come from his personality and from being a Bat but he wants to get past them and be ( ... )

Bwahaha, ironically, I used to be the queen of rambling, angst-laden writing. When I started writing, I would use epithets left and right - "the dark-haried, blue-eyed boy" and "the hard-muscled clone" or shit like that, and had paragraphs of ... useless angsting XD Now I worry I'm too minimalist.

But wow, thank you for such a lovely comment - I'm so glad that Tim's plight comes through, because well, it's from Kon's POV and all that. And yes, you completely got their struggle and how they clash in that sense ♥ It's funny because when I was younger, I used to not understand why people couldn't compromise and meet in the middle - Kon could be more understanding of privacy, and Tim could just trust Kon, but that's not how real life works. There are things you just don't get or can't see a different way ( ... )

Yeah I feel like we all go through that stage, and every piece is a portrait of you as a writer in progress...which is why looking back at old stories can be painfully hilarious. I've kept stuff that's not too old (or from when I was, like, eleven) and when I read it I cringe and laugh. I'm pretty sure I did the same exact thing with epithets along with the long pointless sentences, so it's good to know I've improved. But for sure you are not too minimalist ( ... )

I can't wait to read the next chapter, this was lovely and perfectly angst filled. It touches me as somebody who has a psych file thick enough that I'm known for withholding info when I'm going through something hard, assuming that I'll be troubling my husband... it drives him up a wall. The few times we argue have pretty much been about exactly that, I think he'd really appreciate Kon's PoV. This is excellent, great job.

PS: You've made me want to pop Arkham City back in and hear the Robin taunts.
