You just have no idea how much this means to me. I have been fighting with this story so long and was so afraid it was just a messy ball of unreadable angst. I'm absolutely thrilled that you saw something more in it! ...Or maybe, like me, you're just a little too fond of the 'ouch' these boys give us. ;)
Roman craves the imperfection and something to rage against even while recognising that's not who he is... that's so RIGHT that I can't even express it.
Thank you! That, to me, is Roman. There's a discipline there -- there has to be, no matter what the writers do to him, he's a world-figure skating champion -- and I think he's got a very firm grip on who he is. Deniz comes close to destroying that, dangerously close at times, but he never really can.
It's like what you said about him not being just a poor little used victim. Roman is no fool, no matter how foolish he might act sometimes. That's why we love him so!
I can't tell you how special this comment is to me. *cuddles it tight* I'm thrilled that this bundle of words resonates with you.
Now I'm off to write some happy DeRo. Well, as happy as they ever get...
