This was so funny and sweet. You did a great job writing everyone in character especially Jason. It’s no sad because Jason does want to join the family but he thinks he is so messed up and done so many terrible things that he thinks it would never work and he is afraid he would mess things up and in his mind everyone is better off without him. I love how Jason slowly realized that is not the truth. I hope we see more comics of Jason interacting with the Batfamily and building his relationship with them because now things are becoming better between them. Thank you so much for writing this story. Jason and Dick are my favorites and I love these types of stories.

ALFRED, YOU MAD GENIUS. YOU'RE SO AWESOME SOMETIMES.

This turned out sweet. :3 Not sure what to make of the implied incest...but I still loved it!

Poor Jason, gotta love Alfred though.

CUTE! Love the slashy undertones between Dick and Jason...;D And badass!Alfred!

Having read this one first, it was interesting to go back and read the shorter story that came before it. But this was absolutely fantastic.

It got laughs out of me, and I highly related - having been so sick on MANY occasions that I've felt extremely weak and downright terrible.

Wonderful job.

Ha this was one of those fics that really make me laugh hard. i mean the moment when alfred was bringing that bowl of steaming water i started to laugh so hard I lost a lung. This was a really good fic.

I love this story, and the one before it. You have an awesome character voice for Jason. And Alfred is always love.

I did notice some mistakes in this story as I was reading though. Most are simple things that it looks like you were just typing fast and didn't notice. I don't know if you're inclined to go back and edit, but here's some of the ones I noticed:

“Jay dosed fitfully” should be ‘dozed’

“He clinks all the tighter to the blankets” should be ‘clings’

“It's comes out a as a rather sad, reedy sound” Should read ‘It comes out as a’

“he realizes that his sweat shirt is damp and that Jeans really aren't” Jeans shouldn’t be capitalized.

“Jay is only in stalking feet” Should be socks. ‘Jay is only in his socks.’ I think you meant to say ‘Jay is only in stocking feet,’ but that sounds funny to me since stockings are a feminine garment.

“the thick biker boots, which are Jays preferred foot coverings” ‘Jay’s’ needs to be possessive. Also, “foot coverings” sounds odd. ‘footwear’ would be a better word choice.

“They are not fair from Crime Alley” should read ‘They are not far from’

“which matches jay's mood perfectly” Jason’s name should be capitalized.

“They are going in the back way, he realized belatedly. Or course.” Should be ‘Of course.’

“It's probably a good thing is he sick” should read ‘good thing he is sick’

“he can feel someone standing way to close.” Should read ‘standing way too close’ mistaking ‘to’ for ‘too’ actually happens a lot in this story.

“Jay's first thought it to strike out” should be ‘first thought is to’

“Jay has a new application for the possibility of his drowning” should be ‘a new appreciation for’

I hope you don't mind me pointing these out, but you have such a beautifully perfect grasp on the characters and the rest of the writting was so highly polished that the mistakes sort of stood out.

A shame Jason's just continued to become a bigger and bigger douchebag. I always like the idea of him being the Rafael of the "Bird Boys". Dick's the eldest and leader, Tim's the smart one, Jason is the rebellious middle child, and Damien is the spawn of Satan. No, wait...

This was a really sweet story and I loved its prequel~ Jason still wants his family but he's resisting ever urge against being with them again. I love the relationship dynamic between both Jason and Dick and Jason and Alfred. They really do seem to just be part of Bruce's screwed up family~ Great stuff and enjoyed it immensely.

Aw, sick Jason is absolutely adorable! Lovely story.

Awesome story! very cool and quite sweet. Thanks for sharing your story!
