*A*

Thank you!

My brain is quite flattered at your marriage proposal. ♥ It thinks it might be a good match.

OMG, I reworded that line like, five times, cause it was always too elegant, so to speak, for Kon, and I wanted something that really sounded like him! D: lololol.

Oh wow, that was beautiful.

You describe those emotions so perfectly, I think I've felt all of them at least once.

*goosh*

I think you just managed to make me love this pairing even more.
HOW THE HELL
Ah, man this goes beyond what I thought someone would write for this prompt, but you got sooo many things in and around and all over dlskjhbfsdjfsg
This was so wonderful to read and you nailed Tim's artistic eye completely, even through Kons POV

AHH I hope you write more on this pairing oh goodness!

I WANT TO. This Tim/Kon meme is a trove of golden prompts! I think writing this fic officially made me a fangirl - Kon's so beautifully in love >.<

There were so many things right about this story. Honestly, I'm still a little wrapped up in how much I adored it. The way that you write (in general, your style is really nice) and the way you portrayed both Tim and Kon's emotions was brilliant. It's like you hit the nail on the head with every metaphor. It was almost as if the simplest of their thoughts worked as the glue for their relationship and for the meaning behind the story. I wish I could go back and pull some bits I thought were particularly amazing, but unfortunately I'm leaving this review from my phone. I just really wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this.

You are a very talented writer. The flow was perfect, and your characterization was really enjoyable. I hope to read more of your work soon, and thank you for putting this on the web for me to stumble upon!

♥ Thank you so much for your comment! The prompt spoke to me, lol. There were so many things I wanted to address in this fic, and yeah, it was a very ... thought-process-heavy fic, where it was their thoughts that pushed the story forward. I loved the way your phrased it though - the simplest of their thoughts worked as the glue for their relationship. I'd never heard something like that.

And btws, totally friending you back because I need more comic fans on my f-list :(

Haha! It's just so neat how you were able to phrase things so simply and make me think, "Man. I TOTALLY know what he's feeling!"

Wahoo! I need more comic friends, too. I only just got into DC this year, but I've made quick work of snatching up as much stuff as I can. Are you mainly reading Batman? I noticed that you also wrote a fic with Dick/Tim, which I fully intend to devour soon...

kjdfskj I don't know why I didn't get your response in my email!

Yeah, I just got into DC.... in February or somethin? So I'm still fairly new. Just added you to my flist too, btws :)

I'm sticking mostly to Batman because I find the Robins fascinating, and there's SO MUCH CANON, omg. Of course, if you know Dick, you know Roy and Wally, and if you know Tim, you know Kon and Bart and Cassie, but at a more superficial level. Maybe someday I'll check out other areas (the Arrow Clan is love) when I have time lol.

I'm in love with Tim. Tim/Dick is my OTP but Tim/Kon is so awesome to write because Kon is such an honest character ♥

Here via delicious. Wow, that was ridiculously and wonderfully beautiful and angsty and honest! I love that Kon had all these doubts, because for all his brashness, there's an underlying streak of insecurity. And Tim's mind is so fascinating--this is the first fic I've that explored his photography in terms of art, and not as part of his stalking habits. Really love that they deal with Kon's aggressive behaviour and forgive one another so easily.

Via delicious? Sorry, but I have no idea what that means, lol.

♥ Kon was amazing to write. I feel like he really allowed for the fic to happen because of that plausible insecurity he could have.

I was actually really nervous about Kon's behavior- that's the closest to non-con I've ever gotten so I was like, seriously, how did this come up?

that explored his photography in terms of art, and not as part of his stalking habits

*chokes on laughter* He's never going to live the stalking thing down, is he? I actually did read one once that dealt with his photography as an art, and it was a pretty good fic. If I can find it (it was during my spree of reading everything Tim-related I could find, so it was very disorganized) I could link it to you?

This is delicious, a bookmarking system that a lot of fandom uses. (Here's Tim/Kon tagged fic on delicious.) It's actually going to close down soon, so fandom has been busy trying to move its bookmarks over to diigo or other similar sites.

Kon's a hothead and I can totally buy that he's so frustrated and hurt that he'd want to "mark his territory", so to speak. I do think he'd have stopped before he got close to getting Tim naked--not that that excuses what he's already done--and IMHO he definitely would have stopped if Tim verbalised his "no".

No, no, little Timmy is never gonna live that down. *g* Ooh, yes, please link me to any good Tim-fic you can find! Thanks!

(oooh, shiny bookmarks)

Yeah, Kon is definitely too nice of a guy to ever -really- take advantage of someone, so yeah, I had to figure out how to make it plausible and not right, but not where he seriously did something totally unforgivable, even if to him it was too close to that line for comfort.



Here's the link! I'm glad I found it - it's a really interesting fic, and I totally think it's something that Tim would do. So in character and just... really different. Oh, I forgot to mention it's actually Dick/Tim at the end, but it's so incredibly interesting that you should check it out anyway and see where it goes.
