The tone was the biggest challenge this week, seriously. Managing that four year gap without losing the dynamic that had already built was - tricky. So I'm really glad you've found that it works for you - that's all you can ask for as a writer when you've struggled over something as hard as I did this week!

The problem they really face now is that Erik had been relaxing, and moving toward a more centralised point of view, only to have all of his worst fears proven true, and causing him to react in the only way he knows how. He's backtrodden all of the progress he's made - and frankly, I can't blame him. I know I'm biased in his favour, but it's no wonder he's gunshy when he's been shot so many times before.

And yet, he knows this about himself enough to wish he could give Charles the one thing he wants most, but cannot bring himself to let Charles have, because if he lost him Erik would have lost everything and everyone. He's a lost soul, really, looking for a way to have everything in a world of closed doors.
