This is soooo good!!! You really captured both characters' voices so well. I felt so much for poor Jamie throughout the whole fic. The detail about him thinking he was in Manchester really pulled at my heartstrings.
I also loved how you handled the relatively new friendship between Jamie and Roy with neither of them really knowing how to handle it. I loved seeing Roy be protective and angry then toning it down to be gentle with Jamie. Loved the detail about him researching trauma responses after the Wembley incident.
The tweets at the beginning are also great! You and your fiance are both very talented! Can't wait for the next chapter!
ahhhh thanks so much!! character voice can be so tough but so satisfying to nail. the changed dynamic between jamie and roy is such a fascinating thing to me, and i love poking at it and seeing what shape it takes in Situations and Circumstances. roy fascinates me, and i loved that detail too. i'm so glad you're enjoying the fic, and the tweets and whatnot in particular!! thanks <3
