Blood Ties, Part 5/6

Sep 29, 2009 19:52

This is what happened, flist. I commented on a post by muchtvs, and somehow she wound up challenging me to post an update of this story, which I haven't touched in a year, by the end of September. I'm sure you've forgotten it too: it's my Trey-and-Ryan-go-to-meet-their-father-when-he's-released-from-prison fic--so old that it was begun before we knew Papa ( Read more... )

There is so much angsty goodness here. I love it!

I very much enjoyed the flashback. I think you captured the two boys perfectly. I believe that is exactly the way they would have been as kids. Trey a mixture of false bravado and still protective of his brother. Even at that age he was getting Ryan into trouble and regretting it later.

“Those Cohens,” he said, stretching out the words, reshaping every one. “They don’t leave you alone, huh?”

How I wish there were true in canon.

Thanks for still writing. I know it's hard to find the time, energy and the inspiration.

Feedback like this is definitely inspiration, anne! I'm flattered that you're still reading and that you quoted my personal favorite line. And I'll try to finish this story before 2010!

Let's try this again, and see if LJ is kinder. I guess it was going down for maintenance the last time. Figures ( ... )

The phone call is reminiscent of various contacts during "Shadow," right down to the setting, in more than one case. Oh how I wish there was that sort of connectivity, investment and demonstrated concern in canon. I guess I would have settled for hearing at least Sandy (Yeah, way too delusional for Kirsten!) that he cared or was proud or loved Ryan- if he did. We did get that Dawn could be proud of him- not that that's saying much, and there was the vague roundabout ref when Sandy asked if Ryan wanted to see Frank (at least he asked, Kirsten!), but that was the closest. Phone calls like this would have been just what Ryan needed after 15, 16, 17... years of living with the opposite actions and words. The Cohens leave Ryan alone? Which ones?! Yeah, Trey, they did- for years, but maybe those were their twins (but they did give him food, clothes and pay tuition ( ... )

Thank you for reading! I do intend to update this story--it's one of my favorites to write--but first I want to finish "Best Intentions" before I forget what's going on in its plot. (It is not one of my favorites to write, but I started the silly thing so I've got to end it!)

Coming out of lurk-dom here to tell you that I'm so glad I was able to find another chapter! I read this fic over on ff.net YEARS ago and I nearly fell over in anticipation when I found your journal. This has always *always* been one of my favorite fics. Thank you!!

Is there a finale/update coming up? :)
