This story confirms me in my belief that Tim is a freak who needs Dick's particular brand of codependence obsession love, and Dick is the woobiest Bat of them all.
(and the very end? with Bruce? gave me the *shivers*.)
Thank you! I'm very sorry it took me so long to reply; please know that my shyness says *nothing* about how grateful I feel.
Seriously one of the best fics I've read in ANY DC universe. Thank you. I tried as much as I could to stretch both myself and the available fic tools; to hear this praise is overwhelming and just so gratifying.
Watching your Dick 'wake up' on so many levels has been an incredible treat. *beams* I'm so glad to hear that - all the trouble his characterization gave me was more than made up for by him being...well, *Dick*.
Just dropping a comment here to tell you the fic was... Uh, I can't decide on a good word to use! But I sat reading from 4:00 to 10:30pm, and it was a ride. This entry is currently in my LJ memories and yeah, I totally plan to reread! Heh, possibly save a copy for later rereading.
XD You made OYL seem kind of.. livable! Managable. Something that doesn't make me want to hit my head on the wall in a bad way!
That section of the story where Dick was just kind of running around going crazy with frustration made me... laugh? It was sort of an 'o Tim, you retard. You suck at communication!' kind of laughing. And I wanted to pat Dick throughout. He's so put upon.
Also another comment noting the mention of Jaime and resulting amusment on my part. Just lots of little things! I kind of can't wait to go over it again~

I wanted to pat Dick throughout He does love his hugs!
I--. I'm practically speechless, here. Because I loved this so very, very, very much. Tim and his utter inability to just sit down and say, straight out, that he's in love with Dick, so instead he plays with Dick's poor little mind. Ah, Tim
( ... )
This is such generous feedback -- thank you *so* much.
Tim and his utter inability to just sit down and say, straight out, that he's in love with Dick, so instead he plays with Dick's poor little mind Tim tries! I think he tends to forget that other people don't share his love of intricate puzzles.
He's exactly the way he should be: passionate and restless and trying so desperately to protect Tim and help him out however he can. *beams* That's exactly what I wanted to write! I'm very grateful that you read the story that way.
the whole Bruce/Dick tension (however you want to read that) BWA! Yes, the Bruce/Dick tension is slashy and paternal and fraternal and everything, all at once.
Thank you again. I'm so happy the story found such a happy and perceptive reader.

that joke never stops being old - do you think that was intentional, way back when Robin was invented?
