A/N: I think this title is a line from Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice", a poem I'm very fond of. Thank you, Anonymouse!



Robin's supposed to be bright in the darkness. Robin's intended to shine. Tim thinks of Robin, burning green-red-gold in the Gotham shadows, branded onto his memory.

Tim's not that kind of Robin. He's never been. When he thinks of brightness, he pictures Kon and Jason, Bart and Steph, and above all Dick, smiling bright under the big top, glowing in flight over Gotham.

That was before he saw Dick stripped of his smile and his shine, shadows in his eyes, frozen flightlessly to the ground. Tim's never been the bright kind of Robin, but to thaw Dick, he'll do more than try.

It's wrong, but when reading this I think of the conversation and go "tee hee!"

It works really well. Timmy is so *determined*!

There's no one more determined than our Tim. *grin*

Oh, Timmy. He tries so *hard*. *pets the boy* This is lovely.

I love that Kon and Bart make it onto Tim's Robin roster.

Lovely.

He really could use hugs, poor sweet boy.

Yep, I saw it. Yep, that's the poem the line is from.

Thank you for this.

Ah, birdboys.

This was my companion piece to "At The Bottom of the Sky".

Awww. Tim, always trying to make yourself what other people need. This is adorable. This is in my memories.
