Comment on Indecent Proposal

  1. I really do hope that you may look back at this story again at some point in the future - it'll be the only type of story I do that involves Slade + Felicity in such a way, but if you find you cannot then thank you for your honesty. But I wanted to share something with you too.
    When I was at University one of the women I made friends with was the strongest-minded woman on the planet... she was also an army girl, who decided to serve eight years and return to education. Briefly she told me (omitting details) that her time there was fairly peaceful and quite ordinary. Except, once, she'd taken a beating for another soldier. A harsh one. And she did it with knowing she would never tell her friend- she only told me because I saw a scar on her back during the summer. When I asked her why, she simply said 'you do odd things for ones you love'. Looking back on it I'm sure she questions her own sanity but, honestly she was one of the most rational and logical people I've ever met who came to the simple conclusion that she could take the punishment. Her friend couldn't. I used this as a stencil out of respect.
    Please don't think that I've made Felicity mentally ill. Currently she's deliberately 'not thinking' about her choice. But she knows, really, how insane a choice it is. She just felt like she didn't have a choice at all.
    Thank you.
