The greatest of thanks to the magnificent ava_jamison, excellent beta and friend. ♥ If I dared to compare myself to Batman, she would be Alfred-freaking-Pennyworth. If any part of this chapter is less than perfection, it's because I blatantly and foolishly ignored her sage advice.

( Chapter Nine )

"I'll Be Yours (A Love Story)" is a DC Alternate Universe fic based on post-Crisis stories in Batman and related comics titles. You know the joke about little Timothy Drake being a freaky creeper and stalking the Batfamily and being obsessed with Dick Grayson? Yeah, this would be that, minus the joke part, and plus as much creep-factor as I can squish into it.

This story is rated very M (Mature) for mental illness, the recreational killing of animals, murder, violence, blood, severed body parts, discussion of sexuality in minors, etc, etc; in short, AU!Timmy is not your friend. The story is dark and creepy and fucked up. It's slash, of a sort, in that little Timmy is madly in love/creepily obsessed with Dick Grayson.

A great deal of inspiration for this fic comes from Nightwing: Year One and "A Lonely Time of Dying" in Batman and Teen Titans. A great deal more inspiration comes from music, especially "Angel" by Massive Attack. The title comes from "I'll Be Yours" by Placebo, another inspiration. There are many others; check out the official soundtrack below!

"I'll Be Yours (A Love Story)" will be posted when I have stuff to post. It will be as long as it needs to be to encompass the plot. At this point it is completely un-beta'd, so... bear with me. Beginning with Chapter Eight, beta'd by the lovely and talented ava_jamison and regonym!

( Chapter Four )

Well LJ, I've done it. I've finally given in. I've gone over to the Dark Side. ...I bought a Paid Account.

Why you ask? Because magusronin is THE MOST AWESOMEST PERSON EVER and made me these AWESOME Stalker!Timmy icons, and they were so amazing I just couldn't pick between them. T_T

AREN'T THEY AWESOME?!



Richard, I don't remember who had possession of my soul last, but I think you get to hold onto it for a while, now.

Reasons I love my wee scary!Timmy, Reason #48: the Timmy!filter. When the Timmy!filter is in place, the sweetest, loveliest, most innocent, totally vanilla love songs become AAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHSKETCHYCREEPYBADTOUCHAAAAAAAAHHHH!! Since Timmy is in my head a lot these days (threatening me with a sharp object and telling me to write faster), I am discovering a lot of songs on my iPod that dearest Timothy ruins VASTLY IMPROVES in this way. For instance, this morning on my way to work, Crazy by KC & JoJo came on. I just about died laughing. Go on, give it a listen, and imagine it coming from inside the head of a tiny stalker. LOVE AND ROMANCE WILL BE RUINED FOR YOU, FOREVER.

In fact, allow me to assist with some key lyrics:
...I lose sleep just to daydream about you...
...I'm going crazy... just from thinking about you...
...I'm going crazy... when I can't touch you... crazy... when I can't hold you... crazy... when I can't see you...
...If I could see you again I'd go crazy...

Or how about, like, the entire second verse:
...Now I've finally realized that you are my true love, and I had a lot of time to think, and you're all I seem... to keep thinking of... now I know I need you each and every day, I can't live without you, so don't run away... you said that you love me, so why did you leave me, why?...

...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Also....

Reasons I love writing Batfic, Reason #37: gratuitous Batman-crashing-through-skylight scenarios. I have the perfect excuse to write Batman crashing through skylights as frequently as I bloody well please. Expect it to pop up at least once in every story. It never gets old.
