This is--yes.

Dick understands about kneeling in a pool of your father’s blood and wondering if you’re even real anymore. What an excellent, visceral way to let us into Tim and Dick's psyches.

Thanks! I'm really glad this worked.

To my mind, all the Robins kind of broken. This is a relationship where they love each other enough to keep a tender distance sometimes.

*incoherent babbling noises* I...yeah. That was...yeah. That was awesome.

Wow. I have been a fan of Robins of Gotham for ...longer than I care to remember, so I'm really flattered that you liked this. Thanks.

I like to think they're gentle with each other like this. No one else is gentle with them, but they can be gentle with each other.

Oh, boys! *hugs them* This was so heartbreaking and bittersweet. Poor boys... You absolutely hit the mark on all their issues, and why they couldn't sleep together. Bravo!!

Thank you. They've all got scars much, much deeper than the ones we can see. I'm glad that came through.

Oh, beautiful... and soooo sad. Maybe they should share a large room with seperate beds...

I'm glad you like it. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I think that being in the same room might cut down on the plausible deniability, but it's an idea.

Thank you. I was worried that I was the only one who saw them this way, so it's really nice to have people approve.

They've got the jobs all divided up. Tim probably hasn't drawn up a schedule, but I wouldn't put it past him.
