Have a day off from the psychosis of school; fought to get this drabble-fic thing done. 8D It comes with a free dosage of the poem that inspired the title (read: that the title was stolen from) at the end - maybe it'll become a habit. Thing. Then fic will truly be educational. *BEAMS*
*weeps* When will I have sufficient time to write brain-heavy

This was really good. There is so much I really like about this fic. The nebulous, but happy relationship between Dick and Tim and how Tim wants more from Dick. The comfortable way Alfred admonishes Dick to mind his manners. The intelligent way Dick yearns for Bruce.
AWESOME!

Tim's already on his first leap, laughing like he remembers how to be a kid again.
Dick, though, has had more experience in both. Leaping. And laughing.
Oh Robins.

Bruce doesn't drive him there or hug him goodbye: just the touch on Dick's shoulder like a brand through his clothes and skin, there one moment and gone the next.
Lovely. I love the way it perfectly sums up Bruce and Dick's relationship.

That was a wonderful, wonderful summary of Dick and Tim, and their robin-ness.
Their family dynamics, the secrets shared and kept, Dick and Bruce drinking from the bottle, their silences and their conversations, all of this is such a wonderful picture of the family and why they actually do work well together, and how they love each other very much, each in their own way.
Dick looks over his shoulder. 'I'm actually enjoying it,' he admits. 'Even if it's a lot of sitting still.'
'I know,' Bruce says, and something in his eyes or voice or smile (and that silent, invisible, beautiful laughter) makes Dick want to read every book on earth, sit more still than a stone, reach upwards and onwards forever.
I loved the depiction of Bruce's silent, invisible laughter. It fits him so well, I think. This was awesome! thank you for sharing it :)

I'm drawing you something. Name it.
(btw, when did Dick become a curator? That's almost more awesome a job than Nightwing. Must must must procure comics of him actually curating.)

Um drawing oh my. UH. Heh heh um Terry and Dick both of age in suits because I am a total sucker for those two alfsjkfsj
(Somewhere around Nightwing 13...8? UH. The late 130s or early 140s, during Marv Wolfman's (current) run. It is most excellent. He turns up in black slacks, a white shirt and a black light/sports jacket and sunglasses. I had to blink a lot to read the text in between just going yes yes yes yes yes in my head. 8D)
