AMAZING. I love stories like this and you really delivered on the premise. I don’t know if you plan to write a second chapter about the aftermath but I’d love it.
It was so heartbreaking and sweet how this was the best Jason and Bruce’s relationship had been up to this point, and then all the hang ups that might’ve been left are brutally resolved while neither can process that. In my mind, Jason is completely sure of his place in the family after this.
Poor Tim catching strays in the story though with his mom dying. Did not expect that twist but loved the pain.
Hey!!! Thank you for the compliments, they mean a lot! And there will not be a second chapter, but there WILL be other stories - longer ones and oneshots (this is 20 pages Times New Roman font size eleven. Why is it so short), most of them highly emotional and featuring Jason and his return to the family as a central point. Hyperfixation is a bitch, but hey, if people on the internet like it, right? (I am joking. This is my sense of humour.)
Also yeah Tim’s mom dying was definitely a deliberate choice and so was the way I wrote it. I’m glad you like it!
Hey, I have a question - do you know how to keep your writing cursive when you copy your text into AO3? I've been trying to figure it out and it's been driving me crazy.
Hey, just wanted to let you know there's a second chapter after all and there might be a third! Not sure about that yet though so it's marked as complete.
