And damn, once again I closed the comment before I was finished, because my favorite line was actually this:
"For all his self-assurance, George had a weak point after all—and now he had laid it bare, in that way that you need to learn not to do, because it makes you so damn fragile."
It's just, it's just, it- George being vulnerable makes *Seamus* feel fragile. If I'm reading it right. Which is- I'm inarticulate right now. I think I must have read too much crap fanfiction where the focus is power/control because the writer thinks it's hot. It is not. This is way better. Not that this feels like fanfic much anymore. It's interesting to see a story set in a pre-existing universe where the main characters are basically yours.
Have I embarrassed myself with my long-winded swooning yet? Sorry, I'm just happy, and the internet keeps giving me awesome stuff to read. Like this totally unrelated satire about sexism in language.
