Savin/Mari -- For the Best

Feb 05, 2013 19:11

Sequel fic of sorts to alien_writings's You Don't Wanna Know. Because I'm not mean enough to Savin in his own universe.

I’m staring at my AP Bio book when I hear a sharp knock on the door. I haven’t left my room except to go to the bathroom or eat all weekend -- haven’t really eaten much, either. “Yeah?” I call.

Oh Savinnnnnn, bb. I'm sorry my character was such a horrible asshole to you. It wasn't your fault, but I know how easy it was to think so, even if that's so far from the truth. Mari had some good points, and I'm glad you listened to her.

The only thing where I didn't really agree with Mari was when she thought Savin's lack of love for her was something they could work through. That's not really something you can work through so easily, but, wow, what an awful way to find out you don't love your girlfriend of two years.

I thought this did a good job of handling the "it was rape" issue seriously and sensitively.

I'm glad he listened to her, too.

I didn't agree with her there, either -- but neither did Savin. So that's good, at least? That really was awful for him, though. Poor bb.

Thank you. :)

Aw, man. I think I felt worse for Mari in this AU than I ever did in your canon. She's still the only one with any damn sense, and she's still the one getting screwed over. Good for her for being able to look past the emotional response and realize that what happened wasn't Savin's fault. It kinda sucks that even though she was willing to look past Savin's not loving her, Savin couldn't. Although on some level, it seems (from the party scene with Egan, anyway) that Savin already knows he loves someone else.

Well, at this point in the pre-AU canon Savin hasn't even met Jazz, yet. He just feels that if he doesn't love her by that point that she deserves someone who could love her.

Though it is possible that Savin's been watching this cute little freshman since the beginning of the year but hasn't had the courage to introduce himself, yet. ;)
