Excellently chilling! I think you've really nailed the essence of Scorpius here. Love the story from his POV. It really adds depth to the original.

That, John is, has always been. It is a source of irritation, anger, even rage. At times though, you feel something that might be pride. The Human, disadvantaged as he is, nevertheless refuses to surrender his will – as you never have, and never will.
I love this because I've always thought that Scorpius wouldn't have been so fascinated with John if he didn't see a bit of himself in John.

Thanks so much!
