Vale has me on edge. Gwen what do you mean it will be bad for Timothy? What do you know? Does Vale know about Izbel (side eyeing him as Cataylst since things are going very well for him with the drakes down but could be red herring) and the merger? And Duke!? An intern? Ooooooooooooooo. Fix the wish???? Timothy's mysterious fight with Jason being on camera?
So scarecrow is still in the wings. I'm assuming scarecrow will force Tim to reveal himself to Duke which might answer some of what Dukes seeing. I'm assuming the universe eraser smudge marks with his "ghost vision"(assuming he has that in your au) has interesting effects. Not to mention steph's lapses with both the bear and 8 kids comment. Maybe Duke will provide Tim with some emotional support although a teen can't stop his spiral only really slow it.
Is the bird conspiracy youtuber Bernard because that's so.... ugh! Also I assume he saved Darla.
Him throwing up on Luthor is fucking gold. You know he was thinking "for Kon!"
The warehouse flashbacks to all the people that doubted him as they chase him down (I'm guessing nightwing, selina and GA? Might have misread.) I'm dying fuck author you can't do this.
Fascinating that Jason was going to fight Tim in the other poll option over the pie (oh the pie). I'm still wondering what the fuck Tim did and half of me is expecting he had a freak out about Jason and lashed out. Jason also has anger fits but they're not Lazarus (or not fully since Jason doesn't have red hood bod)... hmmm...
Was the knife stopped short already covered. Was it him not ending up a splat when Duke caught him? I'm curious what the other options were. Same with the obligation poll.
The paint goons were something. I wonder if the exhibit will come back up in Timothy's life since he had to give approval for it. Maybe he gets pressured into going after the big attack and repair delay hmmm. Also him building his armor to survive falls... Damian cutting his line fucked him up.
Ooo the cardinal monitor going down and dragon program still being unsolved hmmm... wonder if the dragon protocol is his reveal it all in case I die failsafe. Because of course this idiot wouldn't make it an emergency beacon(because then he'd be a burden).
I'm still holding the idea that catalyst was the gun person in the back of my head... hmmm. Given then they'd be the... Cataylst lol.
Alfred's also ready to make his next move on supporting Timothy and Tim's not ready. If either of the boys show up he might loose his marbles. I bet going off on the snopes felt both cathartic and panic inducing since they were so close to his hideout.
"I'm sorry dad" pls tell me Tim starts bleeding out and is delirious as cardinal and then calls Bruce dad. Pls that's so juicy. And Bruce reflecting on the "he's just a bad kid Alfred" after the reveal.
Post fic if he rejoins YJ I totally see him getting a concussion or five and accidentally letting the time slip detail out. Cassie wins a bet. Bart is ecstatic someone gets it even if they're different since they both know futures that no longer exist.
Also epligoue type scene where the Wayne's help Tim finally go through and let go of some of the Drakes exhibits and keep what he thinks was important would be nice I think.
Oh my god- this is a bohemeth that blessed my inbox like the holy grail- I will not respond to any of it other than saying this was a JOY to read and you are a person after my own heart
Also as a lil treat heres some of my "staging" drafts and official Vicky design for this fic
