Thank you so much. Yes, I try to semi-specialize in "hurts so good" angsty type stuff. Actually, it's not really trying... it seems to dominate what comes out of my ficbrain, whether I like it or not. Hmmm...
And what an insightful comment -- very true about Jerry in the FTWHTWD context, and the authenticity (or lack thereof, I guess) of Joe's side of the exchange in this story. I've never quite articulated Jerry in FTWHTWD that way to myself, but you're spot-on with that. In many ways, FTWHTWD is a portrait of a not-bad, not-scary guy who's been branded bad and scary because of bad decisions and bad associates... and who will forever be marginalized by the community because they fear and hate him.
I love your icon. A pegasus, right? But it's almost more like a, I don't know, a pegasus-dog. Like Dief with wings. I could totally see that. omg, how cracked is that? Diefenbaker wingfic. I am cracked. Never mind !
