I had nice content with my morning coffee. Thank you. Also, anyone want to guess what the PTB are going to drop on us given that this extra seems nice and fluffy?

Oh, god. Chaz has caught Adulthood.
Poor bastard.

I think it might be a while. You know, they need to build up our trust and hope again before knocking it away for maximum impact.  |

Any connection between American art and American nature is purely coincidental, but this is only because the nation as a whole has no contact with reality.

One person's nice and fluffy is another person's ECR, though. |

He's doing okay, but what about us?

I loved the phrase "geographical cure" - it summed up so much in two words.
And yeah, being a grown up sucks so much sometimes.

You have achieved adulthood when you have learned how to do the things you don't want to do.

Call it adulthood, call it duty, it does seem to be the one constant in a very disparate team of WTF agents.
So who does Chaz want to be when now he's grown up?

I bet he wants to stay the person Daphne loved. He's going to keep asking himself "would she be proud of me?"

Good thought. That can be a very powerful motivation. I don't know if you've come across Carol O'Connell's 'Mallory' series, she's a detective who is a sociopath and formerly feral street kid, but uses the question of would her (deceased) adoptive mother approve as a prosthetic conscience (which coincidentally is the role Chaz plays for Reyes). |

JSYK, (and this may be TMI, etc, but...) I did not cry at my mother's cremation. Stupid meatpuppet emotional reactions (or lack thereof, issues, whatver), etc, etc. This line? I.. Left my pen in the bathroom. *runs* |

Ow. Poor Hafs.
And how appropriate is it that part of Daphne goes "just down the hall"?

So many levels of pain there. And of hope, but not for our friends/characters.
This is where I wanna get on a soapbox and urge people to sign their organ donor cards, or have it indicated on their driver's licenses, or wherever is appropriate for where you live. Just sayin'.

Yes. This. Exactly. Here's a link to a thank-you story, a true one, from when Mike got his kidney. It was a six for six match, which for an unrelated cadaver donor kidney is pretty darn miraculous, I guess. http://elisem.livejournal.com/1297546.htmlAlso, for anybody who doesn't know, there's a reason I smile when I read anything from Solomon Todd's viewpoint: http://wiki.shadowunit.org/index.php/John_Ford (Mike was John M. Ford, and no, all this is no accident. When the PTB asked me if I felt OK about them naming an actor with Mike's name, I said it was wonderful and perfectly cool by me. And it totally is. Mike had an interest in profiling and related things, so it's especially fitting.) |
