Three dollars and some change

Wow, what a journey! The coldness of Nathanial towards Anita, not to pun or anything, but it was actually chilling. In a it scared me kind of way.
I do like scaring people The scariness was to reflect Nathaniel's inner terror, that Anita would leave him, and also that she wouldn't, so he was trying to distance himself/drive her away. Bad times. But yes! They've talked! And they have come to a resolution! And they are now "as one" so they can do something I'm planning in the fourth-to-last chapter!

I'm so goddamned mean.

I'm a big fan of Asher and it was nice to see him again in these parts.
I'm slowly getting more confident in writing Asher. I think my problem is that I'm not sure what his motivation is; I suspect something is hiding. Once Danse Macabre comes out in June, I suspect that I will have a better chance at understanding him. Of course, this story will be done by then, so it's all moot. But Switchback won't be! And I'll be AU! Woe!

I can see why it was kicking your behind. Hard to find a way to portray such intense anger and self-hatred and pushing folks away when really you want them to be close to you and... ok. Identifying a little muchly with Anita right now - my mum is being all Nathanial like. So. Um. Well done..

Oh man. *cyberhugs* It was difficult to make this somewhat believable. It would be far easier to go OOC, or melodramatic, but I wanted to at least try some human drama. But yeah, it made me cry.
