I love Lyme and Brutus both here, the camaraderie and exasperation and resignation. They know what they've gotta do and it's gonna suck, but they're not gonna make anyone do it alone. Ahhh.... <3 <3 <3
I love the contrast of Lyme and Rokia, how they're both so alike but are about to diverge so, so much based on where they are. (Madeline without the Centre, indeed..) Lyme connecting and realizing she can't afford to is awful. :( (Hilariously in the Avengers crossover AU I have her semi-adopting Bucky, from Six, and unofficially mentoring him FOR REASONS. Lyme tends to pick up strays.)
Well done with Terence, wow. I was all like UGH YOU JERK and then the very last bit he ... didn't make me agree with him, but I was like, ow. Lyme's privilege is something she works hard not to let overcome here, but yeah. Her telling Claudius he's safe is not the same thing as what mentors can promise elsewhere.
(btw your paragraphs went wonky at the beginning, though they're fine at the end. oh LJ formatting, please continue to be annoying evermore ...)
PLEASE WRITE ALL THE THINGS I WILL READ THEM FOREVER <3
