Why this must be read:
I'm not even certain I can explain why I like this story so much, except that it's Dick and Tim very exposed. Very very exposed. But it's porn with a plot, even if that plot's a bit subtle. The boys are on their trip 'round the world with Bruce during DC comics' "missing year" and they're not sure of who they are. So they remind each other.
Oh, and there's really hot sex ;)
Travel, they say, broadens. Dick's not convinced of that.
Madrid was better, loud colors and colorful noise. Sumatra was confusing, but learning the Three Fingers of Silence technique made it worthwhile. Auckland was green, strangely familiar. Strange, since Blüdhaven was never green and now it's just *black*. Prince George was greener yet, salt heavy on the air, restful.
The apartment in Paris is far too *empty* for Dick to feel anything like comfortable. The ceilings are at least eighteen feet high, the floorboards have to be older than the United States. Everywhere he looks, he's confronted with pale blue walls, pale as the light on a pigeon's wing.
He can't figure out how this place manages to be so *grand* when it's so empty. The rooms hold the hush of museum galleries, but there's nothing on display. Just the occasional old mirror, gilt flaking off its frame, the silver backing gone dark as coal, that reflects the opposite, empty wall.
The only thing this emptiness is good for is tumbling. He's been challenging Tim to handwalking-races, backspring contests, anything to *fill* up the empty space.
Yesterday morning, he broke a chunk off the wainscoting when he ran up the wall. He needs to be more careful.
He needs something else to do.
