This is one of my struggling points with MoC. As I mentioned on the DW side of this entry: sometimes I think MoC suffers from Twilight Syndrome, in that people think that I think the MoC Harry/John relationship is healthy and that's not true at all, but I have no way to get that across in the narrative. MoC is so tightly told from Harry's eyes and he has never had a healthy relationship outside of Susan, so in his opinion, he and John may not be perfect, but they're fine.
So, IDK, I feel like when I pick up MoC again, it's going to have a big author's note with new warnings for fealty kink and unbalanced power dynamics and such.
Yeah, outgrown it, maybe, but it's still a story I want to tell. Because I have such BIG IDEAS and I want to share those ideas with y'all. I think coming back to it months later, as I am, will make it easier to handle.
Hey, thanks for the encouragement. Hearing other folks understand my position makes me feel like whiny and terrible. 8D
