Title: Austere and Lonely Offices
Author: linelenagain 
Rating: PG
Summary: "There's some things you can't fix, kid. Gotta know your limits."
Notes: blcwriter posted a prompt, and this is where my mind went. The story was supposed to be about Jim, but it didn't work out that way. Warning: mentions of child abuse.

I love seeing Frank in stories where we really get to look at Frank, not from the usual setting, but a deeper look, and this is a great example of that.

Frank as a person, Frank has a past and plans and hopes that aren't all darkness.

Just lovely bb! I love it from beginning to end.

I love this! It was a totally realistic take on Frank and Winona. It wasn't overdone, but it wasn't turned into a fairytale. It was just...the way it worked, and I think that's what a lot of people miss sometimes.

All in all, brilliant, bb! This was awesome!

Interesting look at Frank.

I liked how your Frank is more complicated and interesting than the abusive one-dimensional character often depicted in other fic. This was extremely well-written and mostly heartbreaking.

This is a wonderful, and painful, spin on the character. I loved it.
