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.
I'm delighted that it did so. It doesn't seem to be reaching its usual audience, so I'm glad you liked it!
*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.
It was pretty funny. And hey, now, leave Bruce alone. He's having a bad week.
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.
*grin* Yeah, I liked that one, too. But, he is... *nodnod* Connor deserves so much sympathy in this. And yup. Exactly. He just would.
*SQUEE.* I forgive Ollie for practically all his sins, for this line alone.
I don't, but Roy and I are mad at Ollie.
I'd almost feel sorry for Ollie here, if it wasn't perfectly true.
Roy was (is?) still damned pissed.
This is perfectly Roy's reasoning, here. And I love that he automatically *knows* Ollie didn't figure it out himself. Poor boys.
"Of course Ollie didn't figure it out on his own. That would require him having a working brain." ...Jaysus, Roy,
OW. Also, *evil, perverted snicker that I blame entirely on Hal Jordan for being a dirty old man.*
*snickers right back*
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.
*chuckle* You're nicer to him than Roy is.
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.
I, ah, yeah. Loved it entirely too much. Mainly because it's so damned true.
*Is officially my canon.*
Yay, rewriting canon!
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.
This is because Filly writes the bestest Ollie ever. Although, after sending Dick into literal shock, being beaten half-senseless by Batman, and having his own Pretty Bird write herself out of his life over this, I think he finally gets it.
