I just read this, and omg it's so beautiful and raw and full of pain.

I love it.

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

Are you kidding? I felt like yours was way more realistic than mine, and then I slinked off and felt inadequate for a while.

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!
