"Jay, I'm not interested in you; I will never be interested in you. So drop it, and then we can be friends,"
Good girl. Strong, confident, even when I get the feeling a nasty bit of past crawled up her spine and bit her hard. Poor girl. Loved how she handled it, though, especially here: then the way she had regrouped, and was holding out an olive branch. ;) Cuz she's awesome like that.
"Anytime. Not your fault my... brother... is a jackass," Tim said just as softly. *giggles.* I feel your pain, Timmy. I'd still swap siblings with you, though.
Jason counted from ten backwards, as it was supposed to be a calming trick. *giggle.* Doesn't really work, does it, Jay?
I love the Dick and JAson conversation. I love it for the fun Jason it gave, and the caring/understanding Dick that it gave. I love it for the fact that Dick was the one person in their combined families who said, "Boy needs to be filled in." And I love it for the familyness of it. And the Graysonness of Dick's people skills on display, even when he was at his most frustrated with the boy. AND because of how worried he was with Timmy - it showed that he loved both his little brothers.
Jason considered. "Why don't you start with Timmy, and move forward to how come we inherited the Arrows, and Bruce is actually a god damned human again? *gigglesnickerflail.*
Jay cut him a sidelong glance. "Heard you almost bit it in the big fight," he admitted. "It was close," Dick nodded. "Which probably didn't help any." Aw, boys. That was the Jason/Dick equivalent of a brotherly hug, right there, and I enjoyed it muchly.
and then sometime over Thanksgiving, he and Ollie got her into bed. She's loud, by the way. *shrieks and giggles at that.* Dick, honey, that was possibly TMI.
"If they had had clothes on, what I saw this morning would have counted for a freeze frame from a porno,
Um. They're sleeping naked together now? Also - *gigglefits.* So very Jason like.
They're not involved.. . They'd gone out and done some hero-style bonding See, Dick, honey, you just contradicted yourself there. *g*
The way Jason was handled in this section really filled me with glee. I really loved the last chapter too, but the Jason parts made me a little sad because there didn't seem to be as much mmm. . . happiness that he was back. It was a different situation, but Tim. . . Tim gave off a little bit of a bratty vibe in the last one to me (and yeah, Jason beat him up, but still, I hold Timmy to pretty high standards because I'm an evil witch like that). This section explained his brattyness - possibly because you showed so much of Jason's POV TOO. It made me able to sit back and say, oh, okay., I understand now, and let me have empathy for Jason AND Tim AND Dick - I understand where all my little Robins are coming from better. And Timmy's actions seem more reasonable now than they did.
Plus, Dick's just fabulous here. Such a good brother to them BOTH. *hugs him and gives him Roy-shaped cookies.*
"...I'll have a chat with her about that," Roy said after a moment, voice dark.
"Thanks, Boy-o." Dinah threw him a grateful smile.
"No problem. Not like I don't know that mindset."
Dinah+Roy love = FTW. And Awww. And hell, yes, the body language says more.
And, oh, Harvey.
The Slade+Rose convo hugged my heart. Oh.Oh.Oh.OH.
"Daddy...should I know anything about Dinah? She's very...trusting, for a hero, of you. Almost like Dick was." *giggle.*
Not that that arrogant archer would ever be good enough for her, but... who understood how any woman's mind worked?
Oh, Slade. I love how human this line makes me feel. Something DC forgots on occassion.
Neither did she, secure that he loved her, that he was sane, and that somehow, she would still have what remained of her family, in addition to her new one. *hugs her.* And will make her path easier, I believe.
