As I squeed in IM to one of you, this fic gave me delightful mental images all day. I had the luck of reading it as I was getting ready to run out the door, and it gave me much joy all day long.
He was pretty sure the door was either not going to be opened or get slammed in his face, so he took a page from the god-damned Bats and used the window.
*g* Oh, Ollie, it is not the Bats that need cursing in this universe. Except maybe Bruce. Still, the image of Ollie completely bypassing the door because he knows better is funworthy, as much as humor wasn't the tone of this story at all. But that still made me giggle.
he still could not see how such an innocent thing like a tumble with that beautiful young man had led to all this heartache. That was, he now knew why...after Dinah left, Connor had drug the full story out of him, then slowly, in small words, explained the depth of Roy and Dick.
I enjoy Ollie referring to Dick as "that beautiful young man."
And oh, Connor, I'm sorry you had to be the one to explain everything. *hugs him, and feels sorry for him for having to be the sane one in that family.*
And yes Connor would, in his sweet, perceptive way, understand exactly what was shared between Dick and Roy.
His eldest child *SQUEE.* I forgive Ollie for practically all his sins, for this line alone.
"'Son'? Haven't heard that one in a while--pity you somehow let it slip your mind the other night, just like every other time in my life I could've used your backup..."
I'd almost feel sorry for Ollie here, if it wasn't perfectly true.
"Pretty much, yeah, you would have--so who finally filled you in, and why?" //Who do i get to scream at over this one?//
This is perfectly Roy's reasoning, here. And I love that he automatically *knows* Ollie didn't figure it out himself.
Poor boys.
And I can't let it stand at that, son."
Roy's eyes blazed with rage and he slowly stood up from the table, crossing his arms low across his chest, "'Son'?
OW. Also, *evil, perverted snicker that I blame entirely on Hal Jordan for being a dirty old man.*
Quite a few people have cut into me for my stupidity. But your brother
OH, YES THEY ARE BROTHERS. *calms down.* Anything that Ollie's 'eldedst child' line didn't absolve him of, this did, in my mind. Because I'm easy like that.
"I messed with your Pretty Bird." This line made me squee so hard I had to re-read it a couple of times to digest exactly how much I adored it. It's just. . .I want it to be canon that Ollie calls Dick Roy's pretty bird, dammit.
*Is officially my canon.*
Ollie drew in a deep breath. "Lover. And yeah, that's why I wasn't there when you needed me, because I was off having a bit of time with my lover." He looked at Roy with conflicting emotions. "I fucked up, Roy. Bad. Worse maybe than any time but that one."
And this is why this Ollie is so *lovable.* He knows he screwed up, and he'd do anything to make it up to Roy. He just is clueless as to how. He's deliciously, wonderfully *human.* I utterly adore him, as rendered here.
