Title: Promise
Pairing: Tim/Kon
Prompt: dream
Rating: G



...no matter what, echoed in the silence of the cave below the Tower, despite the lack of anyone with that low baritone.

//Always the same dream... I promised.// Robin thought as he straightened from the slump, looking up at the computer banks. "Computer, status?"

The computer's voice informed him of another failure. He moved to the keyboard to change another variable, trying to work the miracle Cadmus had only managed once, again.

//Let this work...// Prayer was useless. Only will had a chance.

The words from his dream echoed through his mind again. //We stick together, no matter what, Kon.//

It's horrible that it only took seven words to hurt my heart, but you managed to do it with the last line.

*blames Titans #19 completely*

I read the DC prompt-list over at Rat_jam, and this leapt up and ripped my heart out, full-fledged. All I did was transcribe. Muse-to-fingers, no stopping in the brain.

Damn Timmy-of-ANGST.

Oh, ouch.

I loved this, but it broke me in flaily ways.

[ilyena_sylph]

I doubled over in pain when this hit. Quite literally. And I hadn't even read that issue in months.

Thank you, though!

*licks Superboy icon, loves on that mini*

DC is pain;

This is like the inbetween of the romance fic dreams and the angst freakboy fics, where Tim is Tim again. I love it.

[ilyena_sylph]

DC is very Much pain, and I'd rather go play back in my Happyverse, but this demanded to be written.

*nod* It really is, and it hurts. *pets in-love!freak!Tim gently*

Thank you so much!

*snuggles and gives tissues*

Sorry sweetie!

*sniffly* what is it with ppl and writing hurty stuff lately?

[ilyena_sylph]

I read the prompt, and this demanded ficcing.

*kicks muses*

Sorry honey.

[greeneyelove.livejournal.com]

Oh, Timmy. I just want to hug him and kick DC.

Wonderful fic. Painful. But wonderful.

[ilyena_sylph]

..I suck, and never replied to this.

And thank you so much, hon. *hugs you*

[second-batgirl.livejournal.com]

*hugs Tim* Stupid DC. *kicks them* Excellent job.

[ilyena_sylph]

Very much stupid DC.

Tim's not much into hugging though.

Thank you!

[roguecatwoman.livejournal.com]

Poor Tim. So painful, yet perfectly done!

[ilyena_sylph]

Thank you!

And very much poor Tim.

[pervyficgirl.livejournal.com]

So very owchy. But owchy in the best, in character ways.

Re-reading that issue of Titans broke me in two . I think reading this broke me in four.

I really adore this for the *Tim*ness of the voice. He's falling apart, mentally and emotionally, that much is obvious. But more importantly, he's falling apart in a very *Timmish* way, which makes the pain of the piece all the more cutting, because it's very real.

Wonderfulness.

[ilyena_sylph]

Never a more appropriate icon.

*glues back together, carefully*

Thank you so much, hon! It was a very damn ouchie image that popped up, full-forged in my head all at once. All I had to do was coax it back down into a drabble.

And yes, he is utterly going to pieces, but he's doing it Timstyle. Which is scary. They promised, so he has to fix it.

Thank you again!

Prayer was useless. Only will had a chance.

The Batclan in a nutshell. Hope avails us nothing, only action. This captured OYL Timmy so well! And I like that he's not...well, I don't think he's despairing here, although he has every reason to be. And I like that.

[ilyena_sylph]

Very much the Batclan in a nutshell.

Thank you for thinking I did decently at capturing OYL Tim in all his crazy-ness. I tried. *snuggles Tim sadly*

You're right. He's not despairing, yet, because he's still trying. He has to keep his promise.

[sasha-anu.livejournal.com]

Reading this broke me.

It's heartbreaking how Tim is so fixated and obsessed over bringing Kon back. And with each try he is disappointed.

*sniffle*

[ilyena_sylph]

*huggles* Sorry to break...

Yes, it really, really is. *snuggles Timmy sadly*

*gives tissues*

Thanks for letting me know you liked it, even if it did break you!

[sasha-anu.livejournal.com]

That's ok. I have superglue on hand for just such an occasion.

*takes the tissues*

Thanks.

Just try not to be so mean next time.
