I live to hurt you Kita. *g*

Thanks!

ooo, awesome! This is what I've been looking for. I love your Dee - I recognize this Dee from the way she was before she became Lee's trophy wife.

Gods, she wants to wish she chose someone else.

This is who she is.

I love this. I don't think this is a weakness in Dee - she seems drawn to Lee the way Kara and Lee are drawn to each other (well, I guess some might call *that* a weakness too!). If anything I find it brave - and futile, yes, that as well - of her to face the collapse of her marriage so unflinchingly. She's eschewed denial as a coping strategy.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this, and I hope you don't mind that I used your fic as a jumping off point without asking. It occurs to me now that I should have.

She's eschewed denial as a coping strategy.

I love this. What a great summary. I don't see Dee as weak at all, and I don't think she's the calculating shrew that many want to make her out to be. I think Dee is drawn to Lee and what he represents and that she does love him. I do believe she's used denial in the past but the look on her face during the boxing scenes-- I can't see her going back to that place. She's strong enough to face the truth.

no worries! I loved the funhouse mirror effect of it - of seeing the same events from a different perspective.

I can't see her going back to that place.

Dee suddenly became ten times more interesting as second fiddle than she's been in a long time. I think it would be really interesting if they showed her opening up that conversation with Lee before he's ready for it.

This feels so right, so...Dee. I alway have had the feeling that Dee is one of the caregivers of the world; she gives and hopes to receive in return, but doesn't demand it.
This is her husband, and she comforts him.

Beautifully written, and very believable.

Thank you so much- I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Guh. So good. I hadn't read a Dee POV fic before and this was a wonderful place to start. Great character analysis!

[marenfic]

Thanks Joh, I'm so pleased you liked the characterization.
