Cute, funny, and perfect.

You know, I didn't ship them too hard until I read this issue. Now I think they may be my Het OTP.

AW, YEAH! ANOTHER CONVERT!

I'm glad you liked it. *hugs* ♥

They're just so cute and snarky in the new verse! And Cassie's a bad girl, but not really! And they're on the run! It like, hits almost every one of my OTP buttons.

I was reading this thing and was like "No, Gidge. You're supposed to be fair. You're supposed to consider the validity of this story-line, and still retain some of that anger over the reboot in general. You're supposed to-- MY OTP!!!!!"

So, yeah. I've got my critiques. But the chemistry, and everybody looking so darned sexy (Brett Booth, I never doubted you!), and just the *fun* of it... this stays on my pull list. Absolutely. And I will finally have fresh fodder for my ship again.

Because he is a know-it-all and she is a badass snark-rabbit, and it is adorable. <3

Super cute! They certainly seemed to be setting up Tim/Cass in TT#1, and this is definitely how I could see the new version of the characters sharing their first kiss - in the midst of running for their lives and sniping at each other! ♥

Awww, thanks! I was so prepared to be disappointed and skeptical. But instead, I was just kind of excited and inspired. I hope we get to see more of them being that way next issue.

The one truth of the universe: Tim will always be an adorable little stalker. *nods firmly*

angel_gidget September 30 2011, 15:33:40 UTC

Word. *brofist*

This! Yes, this so much!

I was wary of this number one (I loved Superboy but made the mistake of reading Red Hood last week), but I'm glad I gave it a shot.

Because Cass and Tim? So has to happen now. It's just too perfect!

angel_gidget September 30 2011, 16:11:11 UTC

I was wary for the exact same reason, but the moment I caught wind of my OTP in the not-so-subtle-subtext, I felt the excitement bubble up again. Thanks!

"Lemme guess. The first time you ever went up against these bozos, you made them come to you, and you hid some bomb with a ten-second timer as your counter-strike. Just so you could gloat and yack about justice before jumping out the window and flapping away."

AHHHHHlol, this was really quite perfect, I don't know how you managed to make this so very believable with just one issue to go on, but it matches the tone of the issue just right and extrapolates brilliantly. Tim is such a dork, I love him (and this story).

angel_gidget September 30 2011, 16:13:54 UTC

Oooh, I love it when people quote back to me the parts they especially liked! <3

I had so much fun reading into things regarding that issue, that one prompt had me raring to write. I think I'm gonna have fun with this sexy/dorky Tim and this badass Cassie. Whee!
