You already know how much I love this, but juts in case you've forgotten: what a great portrait of sociopath as a young man! *g* I love that he's quiet but already calculating, that he's afraid of sleeping "in the open" (you've explained the show's every ending shot perfectly!), that Bobbi "launches" their relationship alongside a space shuttle because she is just that subtle... *snicker* And that kiss in the end is completely creepy and sensational; just like the show itself.

Thank you for this rare treat. Profit should totally have a fandom!

Thanks again for all your help with this! I'm working on my Black Dress Lex story, Profit/Lex, and the marathon has been so inspiring. *g*

There really, really does need to be Profit fandom. I keep hoping that people's interest in Pasdar from Heroes will help create spur it along.

Siiiiiiick. Wonderful, good read on both characters (you are generous and kind with Bobbi, but I can totally see how she might have started there, once), but so crazy.

I love it.

I'm glad you thought this worked! To be honest, my initial concept for the story had Bobbi being much creepier, but it turned my stomach a little too much to write it that way. I keep hoping there will be more Profit fandom spring up, given the interest in Pasdar on Heroes. There's so much fabulous material to work with!

Oh, thank you, thank you!!!
Just exploding with love for the wonderful fucked-up-ness of it all.

The powder thing, I don't know why I like it so much. I think there might be a sense memory I'm carrying around for old/decrepit/alien.

I'm so glad you liked this! I recently rewatched all the Profit eps, and that show totally deserves a fandom. There's so much to work with!

Re: the powder thing. I think it's some "Street Car Named Desire" association, but it has the feeling of barely repressed sex to me.

Ohhhhh, TWISTED. Just like that show that I love. *happy sigh*

I'm so glad you liked the story! And yay. I'm so thrilled to find there are other Profit fans out there. What a wonderfully wicked show that was!
