This is awesome, truely. I'm not a real fan of the pairing, but I love reading the interactions between Tim and Danna and Jack!

When I had started reading this, I knew it wasn't complete. But it had been recommended, so I decided to anyway.

The characterization had been great. You wrote Tim wonderfully, capturing his normal-softer personality, and also captured his strength and charisma as Robin. All the other characters were written greatly as well.

I came in with little knowledge of Young Justice, I've read Teen Titans and Robin, so it was mostly Harm and Greta that were new to me. You explained the characters very well. I feel I have a better understanding of them now than I would reading the comics. I'll soon see to that, too.

As I said, I started reading this knowing it wasn't likely to be completed. I'm happy I did, it was an amazingly told story. It only further frustrated me on how Tim's parents had been treated in the comics; I saw it as a cop-out, simply an easier way to not have constantly write him sneaking around. Enough of that, though.

There is nothing that I didn't like in this. Beautifully detailed and planned. The characters stayed true to their comic-selves and really came alive in your story. Whether more is added or not, it was a joy to read.

Thank you for the time, effort, and energy you put in writing all 180 thousand words of "Family Affairs." It shows, and is very much appreciated.

Lastly, I'll probably send you a message via FF.nets system. I doubt you still read reviews on an older fic like this, but I'd like to ask for a note of finality on the life of this fic. I assume it's dead, but I'd like to know for certain.

Thank you. :)

Wow. This is a really good story. Is it insane of me to be asking you to update it? I want to see how it all turns out.

Wow. I just finished reading the entirety of your story (took a few days due to work, but regardless). Simply amazing. You've nailed all of the quirks and characteristics of every character in your story, and though the story circles mostly around Robin and Greta (no complaint there, Tim Drake is one of my favorite DC characters, probably second to Batman; and you right a good Greta), you given ample time to all the other characters as well, allowing us to view their own developments. True, some have yet to be given a closer look, but from the tone of your story, round two hasn't even really begun, so I'm sure they'll be plenty of time to delve into their personal stories.

You've managed to set and maintain the tones of seriousness and gravity of the situations, while giving brief glimpses of happiness and humor. You've shown yourself to possess near perfect control and written expression of the relationships between the characters and their reactions and behaviors to the circumstances they find themselves in.

Your story is rich in detail and yet full of subtleties, and provides enough diverse adjectives to keep the reader entrhalled for the long yet incredibly enjoyabe ride.

My point that I'm trying to make through my rambling is that you have a great talent for writing, and you've created and kept up a truly amazing read, and I encourage you to continue to do so, as I know you've got a hooked fan, and one who's eagerly looking forward to your next update.

Wow. So far it's a great story. Enjoying the Tim/Greta relationship, as so few of those stories are out there. Hope you continue writing.

This story is easily one of the best I've ever read. You're one of the only authors that writes Tim/Greta at all, much less makes it work so well. I really hope you keep this going; every time I read it I'm on the edge of my seat.

So, when do you take over the storyline for the Teen Titans Comic? Please say today.

Ooh! Neat story! Nice and complicated plot with heroes who aren't perfect - I'm glad I found it. I like how you've set up the whole thing - right now the heroes are a bit behind the bad-guy, but they're catching up and I have no doubt they'll start planning ahead of him soon... just as long as the whole 'know the future before it happens' thing doesn't get in the way. Now that they know how Harm got past all the security, hopefully they can plan on it and make sure it doesn't happen again. After all the running-scared stuff, it'd be nice to see them win one. And it sounds like the next battle will be in Gotham - that'd be the perfect place for Robin and crew to foil the Scarecrow's plans since Harm went and desecrated the Batcave.

The relationships are interesting as well. I haven't read too many stories where Greta and Robin are together, but you've made them a realistic couple. The only minor quibble I have is Jack, Tim's dad. He seems a bit one-dimentional. He's stubbonly 'not getting it', which honestly seems a bit much. I can understand that the whole superhero world is far beyond his normal life, but I kind of feel that after being confronted with so much that he shouldn't get so extremely...confrontational/problematic, you know? You could still have him have issues with Tim, but it seems he should be a bit less antagonistic toward /everything/. Anyway, it's your story, so obviously you can do whatever you want. I'm certainly enjoying it!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving (assuming you're American)

Strong chapter, with a nice heartstopping action sequence. The one real weak point, in my opinion, is Jack Drake. He's just a cartoon. When J. Jonah Jameson acts like this, it's supposed to be funny. The conflict is just too simplistic and too "isn't he wonderful?" on Tim's end.

The Super-Cycle was a welcome YJ element, though, and the very convincing details of Robin's arsenal and slimmer costume read like Tom Clancy's Robin. Thumbs up.

Now that's more like it. Less schmoop by the barrelload (not that I mind fluff... in small doses) and hagiography, more of the point being gotten to. And great villains... evil and just this side of uncomfortable to read, without overly posturing or kicking puppies because They Are Teh Evil. Good read.

Tim Drake left the building, and a few seconds later, Robin left the house.

"It's a benevolent dictatorship."

My two favorite lines, right there. A bit of an unusual structure - I think I'd prefer just being thrown into the deep end and figuring things out on my own rather than hearing a bunch of characters reminiscing about the start of the AU - it's like it's a step between showing and telling, with the characters telling us instead of showing us. Which isn't that much better, to me.

But a compelling start to the plot with the story's hallmark coincidence (Batman and non-YJ co. being called off to deal with Darkseid) tying into the more immediate plot (?). Harm is a great, underused villain to appear here (since Pansy seems to be more married to the story at this point) and the notion of him pettily messing with Greta's dreams is a nice "DICK!/can Tim and Greta beat the hell out of this guy yet?" moment.

As always, another great chapter. As good as the action is, I find the Drakes to be my favorite characters. Characterization FTW.

You updated! ...

Now that that's out of the way, I have to say that you continue to astound me with the depth of characterisation you include in this 'fic along with it's kick-ass storyline. Bravo.

I'd like to see more of the Gotham clan (Catwoman, Batgirl, Huntress etc.), to see how they're handling not just the country-wide offensive, but Robin's decision to un-mask the Titan's to thier respective families and how it might impinge on them. Then again, you might already have that planned, or it might not fit with what you do have planned.

I almost feel sorry for Harm, p*ssing off the Titans (Robin and Secret especially) so bad, but when Starfire gets back he's gonna be a smudge on the sidewalk from her glare, let alone her starbolts!

Great Job, great fic, keep it up. Please.
