Awww, thanks! Pain and angst are definitely the main themes here. Horror will come later ;)
I took a slightly different track (Alan in complete and absolute denial), but this prompt honestly deserves multiple fills. Your version, in particular, is full of awesome; it had the RL detail mine doesn't go into--mainly because of the difference in time periods being covered.
Anyway, I patiently and humbly await sequel material. <3 <3 <3
Well I think we pulled one on each other, then. Because YOURS made me a fangirl!!! Seriously, though, your fic has NUANCE. I actually felt a bit ashamed over how much I glossed over Alan's eventual acceptance of his homosexuality. Hopefully I'm gonna make a point of it later--that the self-denial was ridiculous, and he can see that in hindsight. But still... Alan's history deserved more, and you gave it that :D
And trust me--realism isn't always great. This story has maybe too much of it. C'est la vie!
