I enjoy how messy this is. There is no neat and tidy answer to their problems. They killed the thing that was coming after them but they didn't get rid of it and it only opened up more issues on it's way out the door. There is so much here that can't be fixed and sometimes I wonder if it could even be dealt with, if there is a solution to any of this.

Messy is awesome because it reflects real life and how real people are to each other. That reality gives your stories weight, a depth that makes them truly great writing, that takes these stories beyond the average fannish pursuit.

I'm sad for Sam right now and how apart he feels. That seems such a simple thing to say but it will change so much. This whole thing will change the dynamics of this whole family and it breaks me, a little bit, because you've set them up to be such a real and beautiful unit and to change that hurts me.

I get way too attached to fictional characters and I know it. But this, I loved this. I'm hoping for more but thankful for what I've received. Thanks so much.
