Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Recent!Tim is Willingham's NotLikeTim!Tim. Well, in his own title. He's always been a little different in groups. Fugitive!Tim is the Tim We Love.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ah, okay. It was a deeper "Who?"
Yeah, he's pretty cool and detective-y and doubt-y here.

Fugitive!Tim is the Tim We Love.
I'm also fond of Teen Titans Tim. A little grittier, even less trusting of the Bat than he is in Murderer/Fugitive. Actually, Titans!Tim seems to be a reasonable evolution from Murderer/Fugitive!Tim, w/r/t the creepy obsessive detective skillz.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know folks had been carping about some bad Bat!Writing, but I didn't have perspective -- I think Willingham!Tim is about all I know. Outside of groups, but it's hard to know if Titans or IC Tim is the real deal because of all the variables.
Well, until today.
I just finished book 1, and I'm nervous about book 2, because I have no 3.
But there's no way I'll go to sleep without reading it.
Of course, I'm falling in love with Cass all over again. Her hero worship is so desperate.
And that last bit, the one where the dying detective asks Batman to solve the Wayne murders? So transparently manipulative.
Also, effective.

I just finished book 1, and I'm nervous about book 2, because I have no 3.
I'm still in the first half or so of Book 2, which is kind of weird because it's about Batman chasing poisoned heroin or something, which comes out of nowhere. I miss the rest of the gang.
Of course, I'm falling in love with Cass all over again. Her hero worship is so desperate.
And she's so adorable! Loved the nerve strike issue.
Also, effective.
I think I sighed with relief and smiled at the end of that.

As is his blind spot for her, like we discussed last night. (The scene on the rooftop? Manoman.)

All Cass's fragility is carefully concentrated. Oh, she'll knock Steph out without hesitation, get clocked to help illustrate her point (the lesser among us might work on our language skills and just explain...) but she's so shaken and vulnerable about the possible imperfection of Batman.
Reading this is making me more pissed about War Games. Why would I want to read the TPBs of that? Pfft.
eta:
The scene on the rooftop? Manoman.
Oh, YES.

So fucking funny.

That was so awesome.
but she's so shaken and vulnerable about the possible imperfection of Batman.
She's screaming at everyone.
The scene on the rooftop? Manoman.
Dude, seriously. I don't think I knew about the blind spot thing, but it makes that scene make so much more sense. Because I was all, "...the fuck? He's talking to her? Wow."
Reading this is making me more pissed about War Games. Why would I want to read the TPBs of that? Pfft.
I've been having the exact same thoughts, ita.
