I know I say some variation of this sentiment after each chapter but "Wow!"
I love the way Howard's learning how to work with his new understanding and emotions. Howard Moon initiating physical contact is one of my favourite things ever! Sorry this isn't eloquent or insightful, I just wanted my love of this story on record.

Believe me, any response other than "what is wrong with you?" is welcomed! Thanks for being patient and supportive. I shall try to make it all worthwhile.

this just keeps getting better. best chapter by far, and i've liked them all.

"his nose looked like the graph of some alarming trend" - LOVE it! XD

I was really proud of the graph joke and am very happy you mentioned it!

Holy fucking wow. I don't know which I'm enjoying more, the red hot sex scenes or the angst-riddled and insightful look into the dark parts of their psyches. I'm just glad I don't have to decide, this story has it all :D

I try to make them talk but they just want to go at it. Maybe I should make them put on clothes... No. Their physical nakedness symbolizes them being stripped of their usual armor. Stuff like that.

Ahhhhh, so many thoughts! I will never think of Charlie the same way again, but that is a good thing. This is just such a great explanation of... a lot of things, actually. It's the most perfect origin story for Vince's Charlie tales that I could imagine (the bubble gum! Alice Cooper!), and as Howard astutely notes, this also explains why those stories always felt unsettling: Vince is forever viewing Charlie through the prism of his 8-year-old self, so Charlie is at once this impossibly cool, admired protector and also this frightening, unpredictable monster, a force Vince can't control--exactly like the real Charlie ( ... )

I have a million things to say, but I'll focus on one for now! Last night, I was watching the episode of X-Files where Scully and Mulder each describe the events of a case. In Scully's version, she is dutifully trudging along behind Mulder, unappreciated and barely noticed as he tilts at windmills. Then we see Mulder's version in which he is desperately seeking approval from a luminous but mocking Scully. I was really struck by what a great idea that was, to show the audience how they both see the other as having the power in their dynamic and how their personal insecurities color the way they see their interaction. I was pondering how to use it in a fic and your comment about showing the two perspectives on the island made me very happy! There's so much in that episode that shows their fears and insecurities. Even though they think about it in different terms and express it in different ways, they're both afraid of being insignificant or forgettable.

This is probably going to come as no surprise, but: I not only know that episode of the X-Files, but it's one of my very favorites! I always loved the way they used the different POVs not only for the comedic effect, but to develop character. They're each hungry for recognition or approval from each other, and see the other as withholding it ( ... )
