    Well, this was fucking tragic. You and your endings, I should know better by now!

    This really did hurt my heart, of course I prefer to think of Barry as super empathetic, but there's no doubt the situation could have easily played out like this. I just hope that the reason Dennis was able to come out again was because Casey's words had an effect on the Others and they're feeling a bit more charitable. Dennis did ask for help, after all, and poor guy has suffered so much. I'm just going to choose to believe that once Barry gets back, he and Dennis have a heart to heart instead of Barry just automatically tossing him away again. Sexual compulsions aside, Dennis deserves a shot at a better life.

    Bear-bear? Dennis thought, cringing internally at the overly cute pet name. How had he missed that little gem in all of his observation?
    I'll TRY not to feel personally attacked, Dennis! ;)

    I'm always amazed at how you can write such excellent, evocative one shots in such a short amount of time, seeing this pop up made my night. Apologies for taking forever on the e-mail, I swear, I have been LESS productive now that I have like zero responsibilities right now, it's like wtf? I wanted to write up that ghost story for you first before I responded, too, so I'll try and get around to it today.

      For what it's worth, writing it also hurt my heart... I'm not quite sure where it came from, but this little diddy dropped into my brain basically fully fleshed out, and it felt nice to catch the lightning in the bottle, even if it's a total bummer.

      Barry is charismatic and charming and he can be a lot of fun to write, but sometimes I see him as the flip side, the popular kid as seen from the eyes of the outcast I guess. That's how he turned out in this story, and it'll be soothing to go back to the charm train for SO.

      I wanted to get the "Bear-bear" in somewhere, and oh god is it ever cutesy :P

      Never any worries about any delays! I had all of these grand plans to be productive, and that hasn't happened, AND this little heart dart came into being instead.
