and she keeps on kissing him, seeking ignorance, seeking this.

That is beautiful. It's very raw, painful, and so right.

Oh, sweetheart. Thank you!

This hurts just right to be them. Nothing is sure, not their past or their future.

Thank you for making them be themselves and so wonderfully imperfect.

Nothing's sure for them, which is why I tend to squeal and clutch at them when they *are* together.

Thank you.

Her life is built on control and intelligence. On knowledge and certainty.

None of which can apply to Dick.
This managed to get so much of what I love about Babs/Dick. So much happy sigh. Beautiful.

Wow, thank you! I, um, really adore the both of them. *sigh*

Ow, you hit me right in the OTP, but it's the good hurt.

I like a good hurt every now and then.

Thank you!

Oh! I love moments such as this, all their lives around one particular point, and this one is beautifully evoked.

I love moment-vignettes, too. I'm so glad this one worked for you -- thanks so much!
