To preface, I read this as part of the same series(?) as NO JOY IN MUDVILLE since they are a) both moody "song fics" and b) by the same author. With that in mind I am tempted to draw some comparisons and offer input.

At first glace MUDVILLE seems the stronger of the two fics, packs more of an initial emotional wallop since there is something uniquely gut-punching at the thought of young men being shipped off to die over seas, while others stay behind and live. At first I was temped to write off my immediate unease with this fic due to the “lack” of real peril, however for some reason I could let that go. It didn’t seem right.

What I believe to be the crux of my uncertainty regarding this fic is that both Sniper and Spy are operating in a different temporality then Scout is. While they all are living in the same "time", the Scout is experiencing a world where his old life is being erased (as friends are being shipped off to Nam) while the world both the Sniper and Spy are inhabiting is quiet different. They are living in a way "after the fact", likely having lived through horrors (based on age and experience) and come out the other side. The Scout in MUDVILLE is starting to gain the characteristics of the older mercs while SNIPER/SPY have lost the Scout-like qualities of not only youth but, also having to "live with consequences to his(there) actions."

Looking at these men so unable to relate much to the world/there own feelings is a chilling peak at what the Scout might one day become. In a word the peril isn’t from some sort of eternal trauma (as one would originally think of regarding war) but the internalizing of the war within.

Anyway TLDR: really liked this fic, much more complicated then first appears and disserves a very careful read, keep writing! Also, sorry fro any grammar/spelling mistakes.

(But really, how could I be disappointed when the title is Oedipus Complex??)
