Oh my god, I adore this! That was one of my favourite moments of the episode, and this makes it even better.

Oh, lovely. Perfect missing scene, and just spot on with the characterizations. I especially love this:

Jack sees. He sees far more than he wants to. It hadn't been the loss of Diane, in the end, that had broken Owen Harper.

This sheds a new light on Owen for me. Great job and thank you for sharing.

I wish we got to see more of this Owen on the show. Because I love this Owen :).

This works, truly. All of them seem very real here, and sound right, too. An interesting look at both Owen and Jack. I like the idea that Owen's experience with Diane changed him to the point that he sees Gwen differently now, too. Well written!

Ah, pretty Owen gen-fic. I love how you've taken his complexities and his occasional nastiness and played with the contrast between that and his vulnerability, his difficulty in taking Jack's comfort. And I'm glad that he does take it anyway, because that part of the scene was my favourite bit of EoD, cause he's not a bastard really. :-)

Oh, and love for the last few lines, because I find it weirdly easy to believe that it was Gwen's grief that pushed Owen over the edge.
