And he looked up, serious and stern, even with tears beginning to roll. “Because you’re my son, damn it, and I love you, and I’m - I’m not going to lose you to this.”

i had to make a comic of this scene from the fic another step backwards, another step forwards by @cryinghour​ because it just took my breath away– i almost cried while rewriting the dialogue oh my god its so good!!! the entire fic is emotionally heartbreaking but so comforting and cathartic.

i advise you to not read it if you aren’t in a stable place right now. it’s not all angst, absolutely not, but there are some parts that can sink their teeth into you if you’re vulnerable to it.

either way, amazing fic. i love it to death. many, many kudos.
