Break fic for azalee_calypso ! :D
I'm betting that Break spends a lot of time babbling to himself inside his own head. He seems like that kind of guy. But it is starting to annoy me that people canonically die on him all the time. What's that about? What, he's not tormented enough? Shall we stick needles in his one remaining eye, too? WHYYYYYY? This is like ( Read more... )
This is just what I needed this morning; I admire so much how you've shown him to be recovering from all of this nonsense without making him whiny and woeful. The tone is perfect straight throughout, so very very Xerxes, who I could probably never write in first person to save my life. I bow to your skill in that regard.
“A dangerous practice. Next I’ll be making off with the silver.”
“You make off with the silver all the time, Xerx.”
“I bring it back.”
“You horrible liar, you leave it everywhere. Everywhere. I found one of our fork patterns at Duke Barma’s table, did you know that?”
“Ah, but I imagine you’ll find Duke Barma’s patterns in your pantry, and so you see it all works out in the end.”
There were several bits I could gush over, but I died just a little of love at that point. Also
Alas, overexposure to Rainsworth women brings on an addled mental state that causes one to be comforted by constant surveillance. They would never say, “I love you,” when they might instead say, “You’ll never escape.”
I love the Rainsworth wimmins. <3
Thank you for writing this. Really.

Ah, Break. I bet he was whiny and woeful the first time around, back when he was Kevin. And then he seems to have gotten fed up with himself and, like, being sad in general, and instead has become demented and bitter. ILU, BREAK. ♥
Also he is probably a menace to small household items everywhere. XD
The Rainsworth women! They are all, all amazing. And scary, of course. <3
Thank you so much for the comment! :D
