I like your Mommy Rook sooo much more than the bland housewife I'd imagined by default. She got character! Which is only logical - who else would marry Daddy Rook? XD
Father says nothing on the way home. If he is angry, he doesn’t show it. He never shows it.
eeek, it's awful for a child to grow up with such a parent :/
The scene with the monster under the bed, holy fuck!
Dominic wanting to redeem himself before his father (echoes both Tom's and Cutler's "Daddy" issues). Seeing a child apply the grown-up logic so meticulously and his fear being almost palpable creates a genuinely scary atmosphere, and it doesn't matter that I as a reader do know that there is no monster under the bed - I still see it)))
DOMINIC WITH A REVOLVER oh god
He would like to have one now. He wonders how hard he should hit his nose in order to induce a nosebleed.I love all the hints of the adult Dominic in this kid))) He's the opposite of innocent ( ... )

Now on top of the stopwatch, gun and pen, we can ship Dommy with a vacuum cleaner. XD
I have a thing for manipulative kids, it seems. XD Told you: he has no right to dislike vampire children. He was creepy as a human child too. XDDD
Daddy Rook is the epitome of parenting: kid takes a gun - good job, son! XD
And Rook himself is the epitome of... idk what, but thank God he doesn't have children because he'd masterfull fuck them up too. I was actually on the fence about writing the ending as it was b/c he basically breaks the kid's already traumatised psyche by telling him that the monsters might still catch up with him. But I figured that was smth Rook would do. He did say he'd done a lot of shit that would haunt him. XD
I'm so glad you liked this! <333 Thank you so much!

If I had to pick one line that summed it up: He wonders how hard he should hit his nose in order to induce a nosebleed.
Excellent stuff! You write Rook so much better than the actual series writers. (Why, yes, I am bitter about episode 4!)

LOL, this ep (which I haven't seen yet) has been described to me as "abysmal". At least now I know what to expect. My poor flist in turn can expect a rant from me tomorrow evening. XD But maybe I'll get more stupid plot bunnies. That's some consolation, right?

*sigh* It says a lot that we expect the worst now. I've spent this hour making cracky comments about the mild spoilers Shiro was telling me as she watched and I said to her that it would never have been possible to watch series 4 and the previous ones like that. They were so good you never wanted to get distracted. Now we're just making fun to cope with anger. :(

"Used to be" sounds so sad. :(((
Aren't we all happy that Dominic isn't married and has no kids? XDDD Growing up with that for a Daddy would be... "jolly creepy". XDDD (I can't stop giggling over this.)
this is so clinical and CSI-like, and why wouldn't it be when Rook is the subject LOL, lately canon!Rook has been anything but that. XDDD
Has the show totally killed your inspiration? *puppy eyes* I keep waiting for you to write smth. :))

Rook was just giving me life in this episode. I'm starting to love him. LMAO! You have no idea how happy this makes me feel. XDDD I know he has issues (b/c the writers are just idiots this year) but I keep coming up with a multitude of reasons for him to be this way, so I'm glad I'm no delusional and he really has something that makes people like him. XD
Haha, and yet Cutler wasn't nearly as hysterical. That awkward moment when even Cutler has more composure. XDD Actually, Cutler acted: he went to talk to the Old Ones and then to kill Eve. For someone who's such a loser, Cutler surprisingly doesn't whine... at all. XD
I'm sorry to hear that... but I can relate. T_T GT suffers because every time I even think of writing Hal, I get so angry that my mind goes blank. I hope you get out of that state though... <3
