Oh my! Very poignant and vivid. Poor Jason.
Great use of the prompts.

Thanks! I'm desperately trying to fill trope squares before the deadline (you've probably noticed, lol!), and Clea suggested something along these lines when I was struggling to think of something for 'Trapped in a Dream', and I just went with it and piled on the angst *evil grin*

Poor Jason! How cruel and wicked of you! *g* Write more!

[deinonychus_1]

Thanks! Also, this is at least partly your fault - it was your suggestion that gave me the idea! :-)

kind of makes me feel like I understand depressed people who go off their meds a bit more. That bit where it says "who just do not fucking understand" is particularly resounding.

Also, I think Jason/Pythagoras is a little more than implied, as in, "touch each other, taste each other... love each other" ;)

Thanks, this one definitely went dark and angsty.

Yes, I always struggle to know how to tag fics like this. It's 99% gen, so if I tag it slash then people who are looking for the pairing will be disappointed, but if I mark it gen then people who don't like slash might object to even that one line, however 'implied' or 'offscreen'. *shrugs* So I figured I'd cover all bases!

Ooh, I say. That's really dark and vivid. Poor Jason, that's so tough. Great fic.

Thanks! It was Clea who put the idea in my head for this one, when I was desperately trying to go for a blackout and couldn't think of anything for 'trapped in a dream'. Then it went very dark and angsty. Poor Jason, he whumps almost as well as Pythagoras! *evil grin*

Oh, noes! *weeps*
This was so sad. Touching and vivid and so very, very sad. *weeps again*

Thanks. Poor Jason, I really battered him with the whumping stick for this one.
