You continue to do a wonderful job twisting canon through this filter. It's fascinating to read, and often carries a feeling of foreboding (especially where Timmy is concerned). The mood and pacing in this is excellent and really builds up the tension. And I love the way you delve into the characters and their actions, as you really bring to light some emotionally-rich feelings.
Fantastic job! Like I said, I'm so glad this is back! And I'm looking forward to seeing just where it goes next!

BUT YOU'RE HERE, and there's a wee handful of people on AO3, so that's all that matters. TIMMY NEEDS WITNESSES OF THE PURITY AND PERFECTION OF HIS LOVE, OKAY??
Aaaaaahhh, thank you, you say such kind things! I'm glad to know it's still working for you.
I daren't make promises, but I'm really happy to be working on this story again, and I'm excited about the next chapter, so... here's hoping for an interval somewhat less than a couple of years!

Timmy definitely needs witnesses to his madness! Because it's not that much of a stretch from what happened in canon. And it's a really interesting take on what occurred, and how it could be different with the added factor of Tim being very, very dark.
I totally understand about muses being fickle, so no pressure on continuing this story for whenever you can! I'll be just as excited, whenever it turns up, to see where you take things next! :o)

*flail* I KNOW, RIGHT?? Let's be real, canon Timmy was a tiny creeper. AND I LOVE THIS ABOUT HIM. And Scary!Timmy is, somewhat distressingly, not a huge leap.
I appreciate that. I never meant to neglect Timmy for so long, but I got distracted by a massive project in another fandom, and pencilling out time to sit and write is always a struggle for me. I do miss that about my extended daily bus commute.

Ouch, as much as I loved Jason's enthusiasm and desire to prove himself, I hurt for Dick here. Being replaced, not even told about it- poor guy.
Timmy, what are you up to? Can't wait to see where you take it, now that you're back!
I might go on over to read the next chapters on AO3, just FYI.

Jay is precious and Bruce and Dick's issues are not his fault. But yeah... poor Dick, Jesus. The Post-Crisis genesis of Nightwing is a painful horrible time for him.
Hopefully it won't be too long until my next update. I am writing more frequently recently, but I'm splitting my attention between a few different projects. But I'm still excited about this story, and Timmy will not be denied!
That's fine, I always crosspost to make it as convenient as possible for everyone. I'll be happy to see you anywhere you show up!

I feel a bit bad for Jason, too. He's an impertinent twatwaffle, but he just so badly wants approval, mostly from Bruce, but from Babs too, and definitely from Dick. I mean, Dick is the first Robin. You know Jason's a fan. I mean, HE DYED HIS HAIR BLACK TO LOOK LIKE HIM. Sure, he plans to be an even better Robin than Dick ever was, but Dick is kind of always hovering at the edge of every conversation with Bruce and Alfred and Barbara, even if Bruce never actually talks about him. So you can bet he's a bit jealous, too. And the very first time they meet ( ... )
