Fic: To Pay the Piper (Good Day for It)

[neevebrody]

Just indulging a tiny obsession since viewing 'A Good Day for It'. First, I re-colored a screencap from the film - the fic is behind the cut and, if you haven't seen the movie yet and don't want to be spoiled, please don't read the story.

As I said in my notes, I love the stark atmosphere of this story, the questions posed and left unanswered. The reader gets to decide what they take away from it, who they think Brady is and was, what they think Hec knows. All that really matters is what both men have done, are doing.

This is just gorgeous: you say so much with so few words and every word counts.

Thank you!! That's just what I wanted to do, give the reader enough to make their own suppositions. It's not always easy to get that good balance between just enough and too much - thanks for helping me find the balance here.

I haven't had time to watch the movie, yet, so I'm going to save this for later.

I can't wait, though!:O)

I really think you'll enjoy the movie. The amazing cast is amazing and the film is nicely layered. I hope you'll come back to this once you've seen it.

Thank you for writing this! Doug's part of the story really needed some closure, and you provided that beautifully.

I was hooked on this character from the first viewing, a lot more complex and layered than I was originally led to believe, and, of course, Joe did a superb job of conveying that complexity.

Thank you so much for reading; I'm glad you enjoyed it and thought it provided Brady's story with some closure. And thanks for the rec, too!

Very nice. I'd love to see this character in a Hewligan someday. :-D

[neevebrody]

Thank you! I can say that the same thought occurred to me as I was writing the story. I'll certainly be adding Deputy Brady to my Hewligan pool. ;D

Guess I better hit my redbox or netflick's and see the movie! Can't wait to read another Joe Flanigan fic! :)

Oh, I think you'll enjoy this movie very much. You get a few shades of John Sheppard here, but Joe really takes it up a notch with his acting in this one.
