Welp! I guess this great story proves the League’s theory that the bats at can’t be killed...

At least permanently.

After allll of this Tim’s DIED OMG

wait is there another story attached to this? where we see the bomb scenario?

Did you seriously just end it like that? What. The. Fuuuucccckkkk?

...Omg all the feels. I'm so annoyed at the ending because this was so sad. ;.;

I enjoyed this. It seems you read Batman comics (thank god) AND are about more than 'fluff'. You do a good job knowing the personalities of each character. It's a wonderful relief to find writing like yours.

Thanks, and keep it up.

Awesome, great job.

Wow?! I'm?! Just?!
This is absolutely amazing. I don't even know what to say, except for the fact that this was an emotional doozy. I'm so glad you went into depth in the emotional and physical trauma that Dick (and the other Batfam members) faced from Luthor's plan. The comics so poorly glossed over that (I guess because the Spyral story was too intense for angst), so reading this story felt like a perfect ending.
Everyone was so incredibly in character. Tim figuring it out, feeling guilty for noticing that Dick wasn't okay. Jason stepping up to be the protective older brother. Damian "shutting down" (gosh, that one hurt the most). I absolutely adore how you write all of them.

Thank you for writing such an awesome story! You're an amazing author and I can't wait to see what you create in the future!

I have literally not logged into my fanfiction account and left a review for someone in over two years. Then I stumbled upon this story after craving Batfam fics and knew I had to comment on it. Listen, this story is exactly what I have been looking for. I've always thought Dick's death was downplayed with the whole Spyral thing, or overshadowed by Jason and Damian's more violent deaths. Not only did you address Dick's death, but you gave him realistic ptsd/anxiety/claustrophobic like symptoms. It's not often that I've read a Batman fic that displayed mental illness after a traumatic event. I am extremely glad that you did include it because it makes Dick seem more human and less invincible. Also, It's rare to find a story that focuses around Dick's weaknesses since he's usually depicted as the person who helps other people with their insecurities and fears. I'm a fan of hurt/comfort stories that revolve around Dick, but they're not easy to come by. Well written ones, anyways. I think you did a good job portraying Dick's panic and his fear of having his siblings see him fall apart.

The majority of the story had me hooked and interested. However, the ending kind of bummed me out to be honest. Not because it was a sad ending. I don't mind if stories have a more melancholic ending rather than a happy one. I just felt the ending was very abrupt and unsatisfying. The whole issue/conflict was finally being addressed and instead of having the characters talk it out, the story just ended. I wish I could go into more detail about this, but the only thing I can really express is that I felt cheated there wasn't more of a follow up after the suspense was finally let out of the bag. Anyways, other than that I really did like the story. I think you wrote it well and did a good job including all the characters. Seriously, I'm glad Tim was in this multiple times. A lot of people tend to phase him out of stories in favor of focusing on Dick and Damian's relationship or Dick and Jason. Okay wow this review is extremely long. Sorry about that. Hope you write more like this.

Tim's not dead. He was kidnapped by an extra dimensional entity and the rest of the world hasn't figured it out yet.
Granted, he probably would have died if he hadn't been kidnapped at that exact moment. But not actually dead. They didn't even let us speculate for a few pages, from what I recall.
Good fic. You're a good writer.

DUUUDE you're killing me! If you aren't the best writer on here, I don't know who is! I love (and hate, because me heart really hurts) this. AND TIM ISN'T DEAD HE'LL RETURN! So there's one good thing out of this beautiful, tragic story.

Ooohhhhhh poor Dick. Very nicely written as usual.

I am crying and I don't think I need to say more than that. This was beautiful and so deep that I found myself drowning in it amd I can't help hating how this story makes me feel whole at the same time loving it. That is the feeling that only the best can coax out of me and I congratulate you for being so amazing.

Its sad but its awesome! I love it
