I expected Marton to show up . . . somewhere. A line in passing, whatever. And then the story turned out to be so focussed on Harry and Karl as to admit no others
That was my one small concern with this fic is that there was no one else even mentioned, so I was worried about bringing someone else in. But a good remix (imo) should push the boundaries, and I liked the idea of an outside perspective to the Harry/Karl relationship dynamic. I'm glad it worked for you. :)
I mean, it's clear he's treating his experience as representative of all experiences of being with Harry . . . and, yet, if the original story is anything to go by, he's maybe not entirely wrong.
There was so much debate when this fic first was posted way back in the day about whether Karl & Harry's relationship was emotionally abusive/unstable/etc or whether it was a good representation of comfortableness. It was fun to go back & explore those debates through Marton's eyes.
Thanks so much for reading!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
