Oh very nicely done! You captured the connection of each section very well but I particularly like the brothers section. The ability to hurt each other is always going to be close the surface.

They strip his security clearance so no more excuses of late nights working on cases, no more easy reasons to stop by each other's workplace, no shared joy when innocents are saved and criminals caught.

I really like that, too. The question is, does Don still want those excuses?

Wow, this might be the longest comment you've ever left me! (It's really my birthday early this year. LOL) Thank you!

Poor Don is confused. He thought he knew and loved Charlie. Now this. He doesn't know what to think, although I'm pretty sure he thinks this was a totally selfish act on Charlie's part - not a selfless one in favor of his friend Phil.

I'm definitely of the opinion that it was some of both.

As am I, but Don's hurt and not really thinking rationally. He's probably got a prepared rant in his head for every time Charlie acts selfishly from them growing up together a la the 'precious bubble' speech in UP.

Oh, absolutely. And the part of him that's Charlie's lover knows that's not healthy, not good for them, but he's also Charlie's brother and okay, maybe it's not healthy as his brother, either, but it is normal.

Ha! Spot on analysis!

ROFL I just NOW saw what icon you were using! /dies/

Now you're picking perfect icons precognitively? I mean I mention the precious bubble scene in UP and you already are using an icon from it? You win!

I try. ;)
