This is a fic inspired by me_ya_ri and the Snapshots AU. It's an amazing series that everybody should read. This follows the latest chapter: Visitation. This is posted with permission and a ton of love, though not for Janet. Janet's just twisted.

\o/ You posted it! \o/

I said it before but I'll say it again--I love this! It's such a wonderful glimpse into the screwed up mess that is Janet's mind. She really has no clue of how badly she's managing the whole mess or how badly she's treated poor Tim.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this--I love it!!!!

*huge hug*

ETA: Linked on my Journals too! *more hugs* :D

*Huge hugs back* I'm so glad, and honestly honored, that you've linked it in your Journals. It feels pretty cool to be an official part of the story. And she can't even begin to fathom the idea that this could be HER fault. Clearly she's done nothing wrong. (Or that's what she thinks, anyway.) She's so cold and methodical that she'd be happier if her son was trying to steal the family fortune than if he had just needed a hug.

Oh this is awesome. Janet's view of the world is so messed up. Thinking this is at best Tim just wanting attention and worse a bid to take the company. Because yeah that's what seven (eight?) year old little boys do. Her head is kind of scary.

Wonderful addition to the snapshot verse hon.

Thanks so much. She's totally cold inside. It's a scary woman who can look at a helpless little boy and tell him that wanting his parents to spend his birthday with him was expecting far too much.

Thank you. *Huggles Tim* At least he's with people who will protect him from her now.

God, the thought of Janet inflicting herself upon another innocent child is truly, truly chilling! *brrrrr*

Wonderful job, sweetie. :)

Isn't it a scary idea. Her starting all over with a new baby, one that she'd be determined not to coddle and spoil like she did with Tim. I just hope that she'd figure another child wouldn't be worth the effort.

Hugs Tim. I hope Bruce does win custody.

And I'm a little concerned about what made Janet that way. Who looks at a child like that?

I wonder whether she was raised by a parent just like herself or if she was frigid from the beginning and hated her own parents for what she percieved to be their weaknesses... for not raising her to become stronger and more powerful than she is. I can't help but think that maybe she had one of each. Any icy parent that she idolized and the one that paid a lot of attention to her that she resented for not being stronger.
