The moment when Dick says "I love you" to Batman really moved me. Because that kind of thing can come across so corny in fanfic, but here, it's just exactly what a lonely child would say. And the fact that he says it to this weird, masked stranger who enters through windows but is nevertheless such a comforting presence in Dick's life, it's ... it's so sad and sweet! I also really love the moment where Dick is overjoyed to find that he didn't make Bruce up XD That was great. I enjoyed reading this a great deal, and yes, that artwork is gorgeous!

Re: "I love you" scene
I find it somewhat amusing (and sad) that Batman immediately assumes that Dick only says he loves him as a placeholder/last choice. I don't think he realizes what an impact (to the good) his stable presence has had on Dick's otherwise turbulent life. (For one thing, Dick would never be tempted to enter a life of crime while Batman is his guardian angel!) I am quite sure he doesn't realize what his little speech about believing yourself has on Dick. (I picture it as similar to the importance of the Oath in the normal universe, in Dick's mind

What a wonderful story! The image of the tiny child bewildered by what happened to his parents just breaks my heart. :(

I love Batman as the one constant in Dick's turbulent life, and now they can fight crime together! :)

Lovely AU! :)

Yup, Gotham criminals beware. Batman and Detective Grayson are on the case!

Thanks for the lovely comment!
