That - was awesome! I love that it's Josiah's POV, especially the last line. Really really well done!!!!

I can't wait for the other stories!

Glad you like! I'm planning to do a part from each of the Seven's POVs, and Inez and Mary too. Josiah was uncooperative, but I got him down eventually. I suspect Nathan is going to be a problem.

Poor Josiah. That's not the sort of thing you want to just have dropped on you...no matter how much you think you want to know.

[farad]

True, that. I love the imagery of that last paragrpah - "Josiah tunes the other two out to concentrate on his own shattered images of his friends." Nicely done. And yes, Nathan will be a problem. Good luck with that.

[the_summoning_d]

Thanks. I want to do them justice, too, because Nathan and Josiah get so little fic written about them compared to the others. I may be using their heads for a convenient viewpoint, but this is Chris and Ezra's story, really.

Oddly, among the first stories I wrote in this fandom were Josiah and nathan POV stories, kinda like yours, only looking from the outside into the center of Chris and Vin's relationship. It is very hard getting into their heads on that sort of issue.

And especially in keeping the story focused on the relationship that they see but don't see. I like how you did it in this story, letting Vin be the one to bring it out before Josiah, but only at Chris' refusal to back down. That was well done and very in character to how I think Chris would behave. Nicely played.

[the_summoning_d]

Yes, I imagine that is how Chris would behave under the circumstances. The man's stubbornness will be the death of him someday. Couldn't have it any other way, really - Vin would have kept his mouth firmly shut given half a choice in the matter.

(I love how you have a different Vin for every comment. Damn but I need some M7 icons...)

[farad]

(can never have enough M7 icons, for me, Vin especially . . . )

Yeah - when you couple Chris' stubbornness with his inherent belief that he can 'glower' anyone into doing or saying (or not doing and not saying) what he wants, it's a recipe for disaster. Even though usually, he's successful. But Vin never has been particularly submissive to him. Especially in matters that involve his own belief about his friends and what might hurt them. ("Penance" is one of my fave eps.)

[the_summoning_d]

And Chris is more likely to listen to Vin than anyone else trying to be the voice of reason. Except from in Obsession *mentally eviscerates Ella*

BTW, I friended you. Hope you don't mind.

[farad]

Friending - back atcha. Thanks!!!

Yes, Chris is resistant to the voice of reason, even Vin's from time to time. Ella - let us not speak of her. I like to think that that lesson taught him to listen to Vin. It *should* have.

Yep: psychotic females come and go, but your pretty Texan sharpshooter will stand by you no matter what...

[farad]

*That* - needs to be on a t-shirt. I love it!!!

[wolfandboarfics]

Hi! More comment elsewhere but couldn't agree more! Love that slogan! :D

[the_summoning_d]

Well I don't know about a t-shirt, but it's definitely my new 'quote of the week'...
