It's so fuckin cute and it's also very up your alley kinda? Idk man
You are an ANGEL for sending this, thank you so much! 💜 This was such an adorable read, and it lowkey made me want to write some Tim & Jon bonding.
So, a lot of you have been asked if I'm going to do a "Damian Drake meets Damian Wayne AU."
Here's your answer:

I binge read your ‘I’ll die when I’m dead’ fic and I need you to know that
1) the way you write characters and their development is amazing
2) oh my days your plot is great
3) your writing made me realize so much about myself and inspired me to leave a toxic relationship and learn that I come first despite everyone else acting otherwise. I owe you a lot bc you’ve helped me in a way that no one else could’ve done in person.
idk if that sounded cringe but it’s true and you should be proud of your work
Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I'm so happy that you like the characters and plot, especially as it's a long work and those can be a journey to get through.
Secondly, this isn't cringe at all! Please never worry about anything like that 💜
I never thought that my writing could have an impact like this, but I'm so glad it has. You deserve to put yourself first (and believe me, I know how hard that can be) and to give yourself the space to create something better, something that makes you happy. It's both a brave and amazing thing to do, and I hope you know that.
This message means a lot to me and I appreciate you sharing it 💜
Here's another snippet of the "Bruce gets his kids early" work.
An old deleted snippet from my work 'Cats and Communication.'

Since today's been pretty miserable, I'm just gonna share another snippet of my "Bruce gets his kids early" draft and pretend there isn't a shit show going on rn.
Drafting a "Bruce gets all his kids early" work. It seems to be going okay so far 🤷🏽♀️
I found your “I’ll Die When I’m Dead” fic and I love it so much 😭
I love Tim’s relationships with everyone they’re so unique and I love how you explore all of them! I especially love his relationship with Young Justice - platonic soulmates where it’s ride or die like that are the BEST. 🥹
I’m also curious as to where the plot line with Dick will go now that he has finally realized that his love is selfish with the help of Life stepping in. Go Life! 🎉
I was kinda curious if you had a particular endgame in mind? Or endgoal I guess? I know asking for an end chapter count is usually impossible but sometimes authors can give a guesstimate lmao
If not, that’s totally fine! I’m enjoying reading about Tim’s antics with Time and Death (I love Time - I feel like they’re kinda like a feral cat that now likes Tim and now wishes they could have him be their favored too… can someone hold the favor of two almighty entities? 🤔 If so, I feel like Tim would have Time’s favor since he is “adequate” I believe the word was 😂).
Thank you for writing this fun fic! I have it in my marked for later so I can be sure to get updated when a new chapter gets posted. I think the next fix of yours I’ll dive into will probably be the one where Tim gets turned into a toddler. That sounds like pure chaos and I am HERE for it! 😈
I'm so happy you like IDWID!!! 🥰 (it's my favourite one to write) Thank you! I love writing platonic soulmates, or just platonic relationships in general, it feels like there's a lot to explore there in a way people usually only reserve for romance. YJ is so much fun to write because they're kind of crazy and are definitely ride or die for each other 💜
Trust me, Dick still has a journey ahead of him, but it'll be worthwhile. I've got most of his next chapter ready, just a few more edits here and there needs to be done and then we'll see him again soon.
I do have an ending outlined, one I think will make sense for the characters. I've estimated that the work will be wrapped up by chapter 70 and I'm hoping to be done by February at the latest, so wish me luck!
Time does have feral cat energy 😂 most of my characters do, really. I can't answer anything concerning the favoured as it would be giving away elements of the story (sorry!) but you're questions will get answered soon(ish)
Oh, toddler Tim is something 👀 (very different from IDWID Tim) I hope you have fun with it! Thank you for sending this, I'm so glad you're enjoying my work(s) so far 💜
Heyyo! A few months ago, when you temporarily took some of your fics down, I sent an Anon Ask abt enjoying your dick&tim fics and the impact you had on my perception of their bond. You ended up re-posting one of them not longer after, and i soooo enjoyed the reread! thank you! Hopefully you're not getting the same hate anymore, and instead you've been seeing all the support you've gathered!
Anyway, I found some dick&tim brotherhood content that reminded me of you (pic attached). It's a bit rare to see content supporting their relationship in the internet spaces I'm around, so when I saw the post, I thought of you and ended up re-reading your works again lol
the account is clearly happy with the Hurt No Comfort, but i wasn't so i reread "flying over burning bridges" lol
Hope you enjoyed! Have a good night!!!!
Hi! I'm so glad you're enjoying "flying over burning bridges" I love Tim and Dick's relationship, along with all the nuances it has so I'm happy to hear that you think I've done them justice. The hate has died down for the most part, what little there is left doesn't really register when everyone else has been so kind 💜
You're completely right about people liking Dick and Tim's brotherly bond being more rare than it was before (pre-52, if I were to guess) Thank you for sharing this, I'm always looking for new takes on them and I love this one! (Even if it breaks my heart a little 😄) Though like you, I definitely prefer comfort over the hurt no comfort. I promise "flying over burning bridges" will have more sibling bonding for you to enjoy (the next chapter should hopefully be ready by mid November at the latest)
Hope you're doing well and thank you so much for reaching out! 💜
Dick during this scene: wait quitting was an option?

I absolutely love seeing how everyone interprets Jason and Tim’s relationship across the comics, animations, and shows. The headcanons, fanon interactions, and AU twists are always so creative, fuck even when they stray far from the source material.
That said, when people portray Jason as hating Tim or holding a grudge against him, or Tim being wary or resentful over the whole Titans Tower incident… I get it, I’m not against those takes, I’m even kind of into it. But we all know that’s not exactly canon, right? It’s hella funny to explore the tension, but let’s not forget pretend that that’s canon. Cuz their relationship in the comics is more like:
Red Hood and the Outlaws (2011) in the issue #8.
This is from a crossover but specifically from We Are Robin in the issue #7.
Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) in the issue #3.
Spoiler alert:
Tim is not actually dead
Okay, but that's just in New 52, in pre-52 comics Tim was shown being wary, resentful and outright angry at Jason after the Tower. He did not like the guy at all. And Jason seemed to swing between hating Tim or having a grudging respect for him depending on how the writers were feeling that day.
Plus the New 52 has diluted Tim so much as a character, to the point where he barely has anything in common with his original self. Tim Drake is more likely to hit Jason with a crowbar (see Battle for the Cowl) than be his best buddy.
So, technically, both portrayals are canon because canon is a complete mess.
I started writing a Tim goes to Narnia AU a couple of years ago, outlined most of it, drafted a handful of chapters, then forgot all about it until now.
Part of me wants to start it, the other is awkwardly avoiding eye contact with the WIPs glaring at me.

Jason sweetheart I love you but what tf are you genuinely doing here
It's like he couldn't think up a cool pose to do and just improvised.
These were my phone keyboard's emoji suggestions when I was drafting a chapter of I'll Die When I'm Dead. Take it how you will 👀
Either Duke and Cass are truly scolded here, or they're holding back laughter at the sheer audacity of this man to scold them for keeping secrets and trying to handle things alone.
