Out of curiousity, which parts did you think were OOC? For me, this fic is fundamentally about breaking points, the shift that occurs in people when they realize they're broken, but that they're not dead yet and have to move on. Both Dick and Mac are there, and for them to move on, they have to change their patterns of behaviour, otherwise the fic wouldn't go anywhere. As an author, I have to push them, to change them slightly enough so that they can evolve in ways they haven't yet on the show.
I just think that maybe Mac wouldn't go so easily into being naked with Dick, but reading what you said about how you wrote it and the ideas, I can understand why it's like that. I really do love the plot though, this is one of the best Mac/Dick fanfic's I've read. Btw, are you going to post it onto the mac/dick community, because this fic deserves to be read on a wider scale.
I see what you're saying, as well, but that's half the fun of ficcing, making characters uncomfortable.
I didn't even know there was a Mac/Dick fic community, but I'll suss it out and post if you think it would be well recieved. I'm new in the VM fic fandom, haven't read much of any, actually, though I've been fannishly writing for years. It's fun to dabble in new places!
It's really beautiful, and although I think it was a tiny bit OOC, I loved it.
Can't wait to read more from you!
