I think this is my favorite Jason ever. He's so... sweet, I think, is the word I'm looking for. Even when he doesn't get it, he's always trying, and he gets there in the end, and he's... well, in love.
You know, I fell hard for that cranky little punk with a heart of gold from the first Jason issues waaaaay back when and the handful of later issues where he actually shows up -- as opposed to getting retconned into just another little bastard. He *is* sweet, and I have no power against him.
Though it helped that I was hormonal as all HELL while I was writing this, heh.
I love that he always thinks of Tim as "she," even when Tim herself wasn't sure yet, and I loved that he and Bruce could deal with each other as partners, as friends, both before and after Bruce's big revelation. Because they have coping skills now, and that's always kind of a good thing. I think that this is pretty much my favorite Jason/Tim story to date.
Ah, coping skills. Well, those slip a little in the sequel, but you're in teland now. Everything will work out just fine even if I have to keep writing until my damned fingers fall off.
