I, oh, TIM! *hugs Tim*

*gives you cookies for a good job*

::munches happily on cookies::

Thank you!

[buggery]

Oh, TIM.

He needs Dick... but he's too much like Bruce to ever reach out.

I love the way you framed Tim's fantasy, and wove it through with everything Tim is going through right now.

[jabez_fics]

Exactly. Tim's too much like Bruce... You know, despite everything about Kon, I sometimes wonder if it isn't Tim people've been doing cloning experiments on...

he's too much like Bruce to ever reach out.

::nods:: He's got kind of a deer-in-headlights emotional response. Everything just *freezes*.

And unrelated to everything, your icon gives me such joy.

[zing_och]

*sniff* very believable. Just call him, Tim! (but of course he won't. *sniff*)

[someinstant]

I'm glad you liked it.

And don't worry (too much) about Tim. There are other parts to this, so.

[jabez_fics]

This made me want to hug Tim so badly that I can't even express it. Oh, poor, repressed boy...

And here there is no more imagining.

Aw, man... Haven't we all felt that way sometimes? But Tim - oh, Tim. Wah.

Also: I loved the use of smell here - and the heaviness of steam etc. Made the atmosphere very palpable - and with Dick around, we do want things to be as palpable as possible!

::grins:: Oh yes. Yes, we do.

Thank you for the great feedback!

[huzzlewhat]

This is just lovely, and so painful. One thing that's painful is that Dick probably needs to give that comfort as much as Tim needs to be comforted, and neither of them are going to get it.

I love the details in this -- the girl at the pizza shop and the steam... there's a lovely definition to the motel room, but a vagueness as well, "somewhere between the Atlantic and the Pacific," which fits Tim's state of mind perfectly.

Very, very nice writing indeed.

I love the details in this

Thank you! I can get a little *too* bogged down with details, sometimes, and forget where I'm going with the plot, so it's nice to know that they work here.
