can you guess my New Year's resolution was "write more about Robins"?

This was the birthday fic I wanted to write for old_blueeyes, right up until Dick Grayson stopped talking to me and it suddenly wasn't. Writer's block is the worst. In any case, I didn't want to scrap this entirely, so have about ~670 words of Dick Grayson, age six.

( little, oh, blue jay, whistle me something I'd like to hear )

fuck yeah dick grayson, unlocked post, damn those old_blueeyes, all i write is character study, fic: dcu/related movies, pairing: none/gen

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Ohmigod, words cannot express how beautiful and adorable and happy this is. Just- just- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~, DICKIE!! :DDDD

This is fantastic, you can really feel his joy and excitement and happiness, how this is everything he's ever wanted. I love that before he can even think he's climbing the pole... nevermind the rungs, just straight up like a monkey. XDDD I love his pride... he's a Grayson... and how proud his parents are, too.

Just- absolutely lovely, ohmigod. I feel like it's my birthday. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun with this one exactly because it was all about what a happy little child Dick was, so I'm really glad to hear that you as a reader experienced much the same. It means I've done my job well, and that's great to know.

This is lovely, though it's hard to read without a certain feeling of sadness, knowing what he'll soon lose. Still, an exciting day in the life of Dick Grayson.

Yeah, I tried to keep this one as angst-free as possible, but that's hard to do when you know what's coming for him eventually. Still, Dick + flight is a pretty hard subject to make anything but joyous and exciting, and I'm glad that carried over. Thanks!

Very well done. I enjoyed every second of it.

He counts them, one-two-three, and then he steps off, because he’s a Grayson, and even at just-turned-six-today, there was never any chance he wouldn’t.

DIIIIIIIIIIIICK. &heart. &hearts

HE WAS FEARLESS AND EFFUSIVE AND FULL OF GRAAAAAAAACE. \o/ \o/ \o/

ngl that was my reaction the whole time I was writing this, just a steady stream of DIIIIIIIICK HOW SO PRECIOUS ETC ETC, because he really, really is. There's no other response to him, I don't think, especially when he's a bb who just wants to fly like his parents because it looks awesome and he's a Grayson and that's what Graysons do. oh bb!Dick, you will always be my favorite.

BB YOU ARE TOO KIND OMG

Also sorry for never getting back to you last weekend. Dinner turned into "let's play two hours of cards!" which turned into "let's watch a movie!" and I didn't get away until everyone else had gone to bed, including you. SORRY.
