A Voice in Ramah (Southland fic, gen)

[ariadnes_string]

I can’t quite believe I wrote this kind of fic for Southland, and I’m kind of embarrassed that I have. I’ve had the idea for a while, but it morphed into something that takes place after 3.04 (though there aren’t any explicit spoilers for the ep.). I’m posting in something of a hurry, because I think 3.05 might be a game changer

I love the way you write these two. They're so very, very broken, and yet so damned decent, too. :)

Thank you so much! That is really the way I see the characters, and I love them a lot, so I'm really glad it feels like I've done them justice.

Thanks for reading!

I love this--the connection between them is so clear.

[ariadnes_string]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and especially that the connection between them came through--I find it so moving.

Thanks for reading!

I really liked this. It was sweet but not too much which fits them. I liked John wanting to help and feeling awkward while doing so but I'm glad he was there for Ben.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and very glad you felt it didn't go over the top with the sweetness. I feel like John does really want to be there for Ben and/or help him, and he'd be a weird mix of absolutely blunt about it, and awkward.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting!
