I also loved Dean's reactions--that he was willing for a new beginning and a new friendship but that the past was unforgivable. Excellent work! :)

And oh, poor Dean. I was a bit worried because it's strictly from Blaise's POV, but I'm glad it looks Dean's own conflicts were also clear.

I really liked the characterization of Dean in particular, the way he is so calm and enduring, but you can see he has very strong and passionate opinions on all the relevant things, and he knows there are limits as to how he can handle those. It's a very nuanced piece, and very thoughtful. Plus, football! I enjoyed it a lot.

And yeah, that was very important to me in Dean here - the way he takes care not to dwell on things too much, because he might not be able to take it otherwise. Glad you enjoyed it (and the football!)
