I really like the follow of this story, how Arthur got to be a bad ass(that dinner scene made me giggle so hard!), and how the family was put together a nice throw back to the Roman empire!

Thank you!

I love Arthur in this as well, finally getting back at his awful family and pointing out that he had blackmail on all of them at the same time.

That wasn't actually intended (*blush*) but now that you point that out, I see what you mean.

I remember this episode! That was one of the most cruel passive aggressive displays I've ever seen - the way Hal's family made sure Lois wasn't in the picture. It wasn't a big dramatic thing, but it woould be devastating to a person and they'd never get over it. So I understand why that episode inspired something like this. I thought it was gerat, and I loved seeing Arthur protect Alfred and choose him over everyone else. I also like that his brothers and sister joined him, instead of taking the easy way out and siding with his family.
Great story!

It was and even her sons, who always proclaimed her the enemy, were mad at Hal's family for it. To be shunned and kept being told that you weren't part of the family would be really damaging. I had the awesome last scene in my head and had to run with it.

I think that Arthur's brothers don't always get on with Arthur (too much history) but will stick up with him when needed. And they like Alfred and hate their extended family as well.

Arthur's just mad because his extended family doesn't care about him, apart from to pass judgement on Alfred. And that really irritates him.

Thank you and thanks for the comment!

Thanks for your comment!

I can't believe I forgot that, Giorgio's meant to be Sicily. I would go back and edit the entry but LJ would do something strange and probably delete all my paragraph spaces again. Sorry about that!
