I haven't been able to finish it yet because stupid work is interfering with my fannish life, bah, but I am loving this *so much* so far. Just, omg, your Jay and your Kon work so amazingly fucking well together. *awe*

Oh my fucking god. I--seriously cannot even deal with how much that blew me away. I don't even care if it's technically not anymore, I'm considering this FOR ME. It is MINE.

Damn. Just *damn,* girl. Can I blame the fact that it totally made me cry on exhaustion? Erm. Yes. Let's do that.

I have so much more to say about this and I can't articulate *any* of it now, but... but wow. This fic is every reason I fell for the characters of Jason and Kon, and it's *more* than that, and I have to pretend that this fic starts an AU where Kon DOESN'T DIE or I will just explode. And cry more. Um.

I think this is possibly the most useless, weird feedback I've ever left for a fic. Um. Go me?

Of course it's yours! You wanted hooker-Kon *and* Jason/Kon and you got it. Eventually. And this would never have been finished if I weren't so thoroughly, consistently inspired by your Kon-love and overall huge heart.

I am so happy this made you happy (for a given definition of 'happy'), you have no idea. Just -- YAYx1million, you know?

Not useless feedback *at all*. Thank you so much.

You've finally given me a *reason* to have my Kon/Jason icon. ficbyzee September 13 2006, 19:53:22 UTC

Geez, make me all mushy why don't you. ♥

This really *did* make me happy, even with all the, you know, pain and stuff. ...and I didn't say this in my first feedback because I didn't want to be rude, but--I would be utterly fascinated by a sequel to this. Just sayin'. ;)

God, just -- *wow*. Beautifully done, and so very *them* at just that time. Those times. *Thing ( ... )

timing defines characterization, and how that's always *true*... but it just can't be any *more* true than it is in this fandom.
Scarily true here. What's more, I tried to make it fit into what *follows* in term of canon-timing -- not with Kon, obviously, but with Jason OYL. Because, apparently, my brain LIKES to hurt.

this is *why* Kon/Jason doesn't do it for me. Because they're just that hot and rough and several different lower-case-d varieties of doomed
*nodNOD* They -- man. They're not a *ship* for me, they're not a longterm *anything*, but as a conjunction? An intersection? I love them hugely.

I was actually wondering for a *while* if you were going for the original hypertime/Superrobin thing, only slightly altered, even though I *knew* you weren't...
I want to. Someday. Or something like it, because -- Kon. Gotham. MASKS. It would just be too scary-right *not* to do.

So yeah. That moment with the society pages -- kldjlkSJ *FLAIL*
Yay! Sometimes cheating *works*.

God. I'm kind of dying to see -- in that peeking fearfully ( ... )

Yay! I'm not really very familiar with Jason, only that he came back in the Nightwing title and was fucked up, but he just works with Kon, kinda. And Kon, in post-Crisis world - eeeee!
I sort of wish the ending had been a little less... open? For Jason, anyway, since I had the feeling that he got a little better with Kon and maybe not quite so psycho anymore, or a better adjusted kind of psycho, so it'd have been nice to see how it works out for him.
I loved the descriptions of Gotham and the original characters.

He's very fucked-up, and his -- hmm. His *openness*, his lack of discretion? Sits very nicely with Kon.

And Kon, in post-Crisis world - eeeee!
He's not dead. NO. *g*

Mmm, interesting -- I was really, *really* leery of following Jason that far, if only because I have this absurd need to fit into canon, such that this Jason *does* leave Gotham to the new Batwoman and goes to New York to bug Dick.

Thank you so much.

Merciful heavens. I was making all manner of high pitched noises as I read.

Kon's ignorance broke me repeatedly. Of course he had to be ignorant, and *such* a baby, and not putting together that No-Bats meant *problems* -- but *damn.*

Achtung's Razor. I wailed with joy.

"Your mom." Kon is *so* nineties.

Dick's name drives me nuts, sometimes, but it sure is good for playing "Who's on first?"

The Wendy reference made me bounce in my seat until I nearly dropped the computer.

But Harvey?

I bit my finger and went "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" until the cat stared and the other person in the room laughed uproariously at me.

This story gave me more joy than I can fit in a comment box, partially because the truth of what was happening is *so* dark and awful and miserable.

I don't know whether I was glad to see Bart at the end or not.

I think his necessary ignorance was what kept breaking me and holding this up, because it just *hurt* too much to keep inflicting on the boy.

All for you, that little meeting. *beams*

You're not alone in that.

Thank you *so much* for such terrific feedback. I'm *aglow*.
