OMG it's so sad /3

bless this

Oh I can't even express how awesome this was. An angsty ending always leaves me unsettled but I like it so you're good. Thanks for making this, it made me get teary-eyed.

Very well written and choreographed perfectly. Add the angst and the emotional onslaught that you have mastered and it seems I've found one of my higher-up favorite stories.

Stay Traught! (Or maybe not, 'cause this story made it reeeaaallllyyyy hard to)
Disaster

Oh god that sooooo ughhhhh feeling I’m not feeling the aster AT ALL NOOOOOOOOOOO MY BLUE BIRD NOOOOOOOOOO

Why Nightwing angst hurts more than Red Hood angst?

ooooooh wow oh wow oh wow

“FUCK YOU” I say as I add this to my favorites xD this was really well written, the pacing was wonderful and I think you portrayed the characters beautifully. Good job

HOLY CRAP FRICK JESUS I WAS NOT PREPARED AT ALL!

You know, I should be USED to all the angst and sadness and stuff you make me feel. But I'm a total glutton for punishment and I love putting myself through the wringer because your work is SO GOOD.

I can so easily picture him sitting with each of his brothers and Bruce, offering the comfort he also so desperately needs. I think he gets just as much from it as everyone else does. (I'd be happy to be his shoulder to lean on, though. Just sayin'.. ;)

But despite the fact I figured it was coming, the WAY it happened sort of caught me by surprise. And it didn't feel gratuitous or cheap- it felt real. That's difficult to do and as always, you do it well.

Thanks for sharing and breaking my heart again. I love you for it! -MizM

Let's just take a moment to honor the memory of my feelings. They died a noble death while reading this one shot.

But really, oof. My heart's cracked, like, split down the middle kind of cracked. The emotion just pours from this story, and the writing is so smooth.

The way you covered Dick comforting each of his family members was so beautifully done; none of them felt redundant or over the top, the perfect level of touch and emotions for each relationship. (I'm gonna throw this out here and say how much I loved the Dick-Bruce hug.)

Then there's the ending and *slow nod, tears fall* I knew it was coming. But dang it. The bolding on Damian's plea near the end, how Dick promised him he wouldn't leave anytime soon, that was powerful. Meanwhile, Bruce is yelling like he's reliving Jason's death, telling him not to die, Jason is barking orders like if he screams loud enough, somehow the words will come true and Dick will get out, and Tim-Tim is silent, because he's seen this before and he already knows: It's over.

Dang. This whole piece was so, so heart-wrenching. Amazing.

Wow, poignantly written from beginning to end. Job very well done (unfortuntely so for Dick)!
