Fic: "Bids it Break" (Brothers & Sisters)

[inlovewithnight]

Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak,
Whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break.
(Macbeth, 5.1.50-1)

Follow-up to "Favorite Son." Julia-centric, so based on the events of that episode, be aware that this is not happy. Stupid show, being all sad and good and...yes.

Kevin didn't want to go to the hospital at all. He knew it was a bad idea. But Justin made the damn puppy eyes and Kevin just can't tell him NO.

But out of all of them, Kevin is the only one who sends stuff Julia likes - like chocolates. And trashy novels. And tabloid magazines. And sometimes, in the tabloids, he pastes pictures of himself and "outs" all the celebrities he knows Julia likes and makes comments like "Lousy in bed, but hung like a horse" and "Talks too much. Only take out for dinner." and "Doesn't matter that he's a gigantic ass. You *can't* kick him out of bed".

And Tommy's like "...I have no idea what you're doing, Kevin, but it makes her smile, so keep doing it, but...seriously, I don't get it, dude." Because Tommy is kind of slow.

Justin gives Elizabeth a teddy bear that's bigger than she is.

This is just perfect. So perfect. I love how you have everyone reacting - very fitting.

Thank you!

Oh this is just lovely and painful in the right way.

She doesn't know why it's easier to take kindness from Holly than from Tommy's family

I can so see that. Holly would be a welcome presence in so many ways.

I love Nora at the end very much, and the ending in general.

Thank you!
