Continuity: Teen Titans animated series, mostly, cobbled together with bits inspired by the comics verse and Batman: The Animated Series, and stuff I just made up from scratch. Sort of an AU? Takes place after the end of the Teen Titans series.

Awwwww, So good! I really liked this last scene especially, with Dick struggling with his emotions in the dark, and Kori coming in. Very powerful; sweet, and sad, and poignant, and awww.

Nicely done. Definitely looking forward to the next chapter.

I also liked Superman ruffling Dick's hair.

Canon fact! Starfire is the only person Robin will let himself cry in front of. It happens in the Teen Titans Go! comic. ...And okay, so I made him cry in front of Bruce in that other fic, but Bruce and Alfred must have seen him cry lots of times since his parents died and he moved in with them when he was just a wee Robin chick, before he got all seriousface.

I need to stop making Robin cry.

Anyway! So glad you enjoyed all the poignant emotional stuff. THIS FIC IS SO FREAKING DEPRESSING. I have to keep reminding myself it will get better, it's just going to take so freaking long to get there.

And yeah, <3 Dick and Clark... that's a canon relationship I've always loved. I'm having fun reinventing it with this more serious version of Dick.

Thanks as always for reading and enjoying! <3 <3 <3

...WHY AM I NOT ASLEEP, ARGH!! TT_TT

You've just made a grown woman cry, real tears. It just about broke me that last paragraph. Robin, no, Dick struggling with his anger and saddness over the death of Bruce. And Kori comforting him. Gah it was perfect. I am loving this series so far (couldn't stop to comment until I read it all ;/)and I am looking forward to seeing where you take out little bird next.
Thanks for sharing

:D Should I be so happy about making someone cry? Holy wow, Batman... getting that kind of reaction is the best kind of compliment. I'm thrilled.

I always feel awkward writing about people crying, especially for characters that only do so rarely. So I'm really immensely glad that it came through as emotionally powerful and not, like, trite, or something horrible like that. ^_^;;

I'm so glad you're enjoying this so much! Thank you for reading. <3
