Hey, if the subplot weren't going to be interwoven with the main one, I might as well just have written two stories.
I'm always very conscious of whose POV I'm writing from, and how that person refers to others in their mental narration. Dr. Moreau is "Phoebe" from her own POV, "Moreau" from Jon's. Stephen is "Colbert" to Dr. Watson, and to Dr. Moreau in the beginning, though she starts thinking of him as "Stephen" later. And Jon is "Stewart" to Stephen's staff, although Tad, whose language is very precise, goes so far as to call him "Mr. Stewart" when speaking out loud.
Stephen has recurring insecurities about why Jon gave him TCR. And he kept these photos largely because Jon-in-a-suit is very consciously playing a role; there are plenty of posed photos of him in full suit, but Stephen likes photos where he's just being himself. Candid photos, in the innocent sense of the word. (A bonus: since nobody else had copies of these particular pictures, Stephen could be extra-possessive of them.)
The media has varying perspectives on TDS, but Brian Williams is just an overall cool dude.
See - everyone loves Stephen, they must do, or they'd go work for someone else - it's just that he can't see it, the daft bat.
Oh, I think for some of them it's just fear. (For others, it may even be loyalty to Jon.) But they do have some measure of sympathy for him.
And "the daft bat" is the most hilarious description of Stephen I've ever heard.
I've only seen one clip of Tracey talking about Jon (it was Oprah's post-Oscars show), but the love so obviously goes both ways.
Even after breaking up with Bobby, Tad still tries to justify himself to him. Hope springs eternal.
