Oh.

Tears. Just, wow. All of the scenes with the family, especially Jim and George, broke my heart.

This is amazing, bb. I wouldn't have been able to sit on it for a year. :)

Awww, thank you very much! I'm so so glad you liked it, and that it worked to be as angsty as the prompt suggests. As I've said, it was a rather amazing and very specific prompt which meant all I had to do was fill in the blanks, but thank you all the same! As for sitting on it ... I initially didn't intend to, but I have insane posting anxiety, and so while I like the writing bit, the re-reading and posting and admitting to actually writing something is a different thing entirely. Thank God for anon kink memes!

Awww. I'm sorry? (I had, incidentally, originally had a chapter break after that first moment, but when posting it here decided it was too choppy, but I'm glad you still saw it as sort of a moment! It was what I was going for, so I'm thrilled!) As for McCoy, part of what I wanted to show was that he too wants this whole family schtick--he doesn't have it either, although he had more of it than Jim ever had--and unfortunately, Jim's choice here is not only self-destructive, it is hurting McCoy at the same time, but McCoy allows it because he loves Jim.

Thank you so much for such a lovely, detailed comment! It is very much appreciated.

What a heartbreaking pre-Thanksgiving story! This was a very unusual way to deal with Jim's lack of closure with his parents, and a very effective one. Hits everyone where they live, especially this time of year. You make me grateful for what I have.

Thank you! But I can't take the credit--it was a fantastic prompt, I just filled in the blanks. But I'm glad you liked it! :-) I tried to end it on a hopeful note, if not a happy one. Thanks very much for reading, and for your lovely comment.
