>>127 What I'm more personally concerned with is that this will just fall into comfortable old tropes instead of doing anything ground breaking. This story is an uncomfortable read. I don't read it for the Heavy, I read it to see the Medic figure him out and stop him. This "intellectual" is using everyone around him and appears to treat the Medic like a slab of meat to ogle instead of a person to love. He's a despicable character who only showed the faintest sliver of compassion towards Ilse, but that was all just a ruse so he can complete his plan to get the Medic. A man that he has no interest in besides for his body. Meaning that he either plans to keep the Medic like a fuckable briefcase and continue lying to him, or will eventually leave the Medic after completely crushing his life. There's very few people who love to see a villain win, and in this case it'd really turn stomachs. I mean, hell, I've been in the Medic's position. Not marriage-wrecking wise, but someone did manage to wedge themselves into a relationship with me through a long list of lies and manipulations that was hard to break free from. Reflecting on it, I found none of it cute or romantic. I don't know you. I know that your version of Medic tends to be ashamed of himself, afraid of his sexuality, or behaves in a rather immature, feminine way reminiscent of high school. I need something besides a "trust me" to let me know that this won't just turn into "Oh, she was just a beard and I'm a flaming homosexual burning with lust for you Herr Heavy, take me now!" sort of story.
