And in just 100 words you capture Russ and Brennan's story.
It was Ruth and Max Keenan who'd left them. And he couldn't tell her that. This feels very true to life, what people don't tell in order to protect close family.
I'm with Russ in the second fic, but really like how you make us see both sides and don't hit the reader on the head with Max's shortcomings and go with the golden rule of writing and show them instead of telling us about them.

Aww...thanks!

Yeah, this felt like a penny that dropped for me while I was talking to someone about my story and about what I thought about Russ and Max and the whole situation.

Me too! Max is a bastard.

Wow. I'm glad I pulled that off!

THANKS! Wow...I'm thrilled with this! I have been wanting to see Max and Russ's first meeting after all those years, Max's reaction to Russ having left, and finally it clicked how it would go and I wrote it, after 2 years or more of pondering it. I'm so glad it works for you!
PS. Have not forgotten about your multific!
The way I keep spamming with the posts, I doubt anyone could. But thank you! I look forward to seeing what you think!
Both were moving but that second one! I can SEE Max punching out Russ so clearly! And Russ throwing it back in his face! Ouch! I hadn't even considered the fact that Max lost all of them really. :( Great job keeping them in character and in line with canon when we haven't really been given a lot of them to work with. :)
Thank you! I'm so glad this fits with canon for you and that it's in character and is moving. THANK YOU! I'm so glad it worked for you and you liked it!
