I like reading gen fics occasionally and it’s always a sweet treat to come across an authors who’s a few years and a boner away from shipping batcest. Like yes ahahah soooo funny that the justice league thinks Bruce is married to his son ahahaha hilarious misunderstanding. Oh wow this tension borderline psychosexual obsession you’ve written between Jason and Tim reads as being very normal and platonic. I’ll come back in a few years when you start writing Tim licking Bruce’s come off of Dicks face.
and that’s how i began to ship jaytim. You start with the enemies to caretaker and suddenly are reading a story where jason is taking care the omega on heat, tim drake, and the knot he must give him.
Jk but it’s really easy to from:
“oh look at neglected tim drake, jason is the only who see the abuse and care”(brotherly)
to
“oh look at neglected tim drake, jason is the only one who see him ”(lovers)
Genuinely I got there the same way,
I went from "I like Tim!"
To "I like the dynamic between Tim and Jason and the complex things that happen with them learning to appreciate each other"
To "they should do it sloppy style, but also like emotionally too"
(I'm mostly just referring to jaytim)
