Oooooh, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

I love how you melded the two 'play dead' instances together especially Jim wondering if Batman had moved on like his friends did way back when.

His guilt kept him company

Such a simple yet wonderful line. This is a great missing scene.

You know how much I hate giving incoherent feedback, but when it comes to your fics I am always left with one thought: you, and this, are brilliant. <3

Great scene. I love the subtle tension between Gordon and Batman and the almost careful way he allows himself to think about it. Only in his dreams can he really feel it.

Very nice.
