Every time I turn him in a direction away from his pop and his influence, it works right back to Lionel again.
It's interesting how much of a life of their own your characters have, huh, pulling you in directions you didn't think they'd go ... Weird. But cool!
And you know what else is weird, is how Whit-centric most of your chapters are ... and how much I like them! I've never been a Whit fan, but I like this guy and really feel for him. Not so much cuz of the horrible abuse he had as a kid, but because he's so complex and real. The wise cracking, the moodiness, the neediness, the brittle armor he wears, the huge mushy heart he has, even if it is hidden most of the time ... I also love that he didn't take advantage or let himself be used by Sam when he was all drunk - cuz I'm really hoping for those 2 (boo bitch!Sheryl) and if he had gone along with it, it probably would have screwed up any chance he and Sam might have had in future.
And best of all, how Wade's death finally really hit him out of the blue like that. So realistic, the unrelated thoughts and images and the sudden breakdown ... Charlie must be very confused right now, but what a nice guy for helping Whit. I just hope that 1) he's straight, cuz we need more kind, conderate, not homophobic or even just uncomfortable around gays straight men in slash fics and 2) that he's not actually that shapechanging chick and is gonna hurt him or something! *bites nails*
So, when can I expect some more? In about 10 minutes, I hope?? *eg*
