Could anyone grab this rapidshare file for me and re-upload it somewhere like Megaupload or Mediafire? My ISP is silly about these kinds of things. I can serve up some shortfic to your liking as thanks!
Umm... some pre-series!Terry, perhaps? I've always been interested in what he was like just before he met Bruce. Or when he was a kid. Or pretty much anything else, because it's Terry. 8D
Um. . . is there any chance that you would still write V6? Cos I mentioned this to Katie and immediately she was like "Get her to write Okada/Ken!!" >.>
Life before Bruce Wayne. What was it like? I dunno. People make a big deal about that - though "people"'s a pretty specific term. The commish, and now occasionally Drake, who visits but never stays. The two of them come and go a lot. They don't want to know about me, but the moment something's up with the old man, they call foul - "why didn't you tell us, Bruce" and "you never mention the important things", as though it's all Wayne's problem that their lives ended up split into the pre-Bruce, Bruce and post-Bruce eras.
Me? Not so much. There was juvie. But before there was juvie, there was a lot of boredom. School was okay. Still is okay - just... boring. You go in and you listen and you fall asleep. It's not that it's too easy or too hard, it's just that there's no real point in picking any of it up. Okay, so it gets you better chances after you leave. Better chances with what? I'm no engineer. I'm no banker. All I ever wanted as a kid was to live a little less lean-like; but dad's job was only ever grinding, long and low-paying, and mum had me - and then Matt - to look after.
Pre-juvie's more interesting than pre-Bruce. Pre-juvie was learning how to jack a car and flip a lock, learning how to keep your eyes and ears open. When to sit, when to run, when to hit. I'm not proud of it anymore, but I'm not gonna lie and say that it wasn't fun while it lasted. It was fun. It was good thinking. It felt real.
So, then there's Bruce. Maybe it's because I'm not like the other guys. I'm not like Nightwing, whoever he is - he had a whole world laid out there for him, a world he wanted that got taken away. I'm not like the commish - that's family, that's not wanting to get left behind. I sure as hell am not like Drake - not a stalker, not a genius. I think, at the end of the day, I'm more like the guy who they don't talk about, the one in the glass-display closet, the visible skeleton.
Oh, Terry. Not a Robin, not a part of the old guard, just a kid who saw a role that needed filled and stepped into something bigger than them all. *satisfied sigh*
Wow, it took me a really long time to write that. You have quite the talent for reducing me to flailing nonsense, miss lady.

Except he had something to prove, and I don't.
Maybe that's what makes all the difference.
