(FIC) Dark Night (1/1)

Nothing in my life has ever scared me as much as finding him in that alley did, and I hope nothing else ever will. And I mean nothing, nothing the Army prepared me for, nothing it didn’t prepare me for, not even the Bio Vipers, and those are some ugly, strange mothers. I mean, seeing him lying there, it felt like my heart up and stopped on me ( Read more... )

Loved it! Also, I agree. This just seems to fit better coming from Roadblock's side than Tunnel Rat's, especially since we get a good handle on TR's side of things from the episode itself already.

Thanks! Ah, good. That was my feeling about it, glad to see I'm not alone in thinking that. Plus, it being more his emotional awakening it makes sense.

Hee, it certainly does. While on the one hand, it's understandable that he'd want to protect the team and get revenge on whoever had hurt TR, Roadblock seemed to almost take it too personally, like they'd hurt someone much closer to him than just a teammate.

Again, I'm pretty sure this is the episode that convinced a lot of fangirls of RoadRat.

OMG, I know it's the episode that convinced me-- he legit teared up for a moment in the hospital before Duke told him not to blame himself, and it was like 'Oh no, that is not 'just teammates' stuff'.

And the MP3 player moment seemed weirdly intimate somehow. I mean, yes, it was necessary as the whole deus ex machina of the episode, but there was something very sweet in the leaving of it...
