Why This Must Be Read: I never expected to enjoy a slash fic with a Kavanagh pairing, let alone this unexpected one. I think what makes this piece powerful is that no one knew what he was going through. He's the whiney jerk, but underneath he'd been dealing with something that could have torn apart many other people and yet he dealt with that, and more, all alone. The revelations really add both strength and depth to his character. The general air of the fic is sad, yet it holds a sense at pride and honour for those they've lost, and his contribution to it adds to sense that ultimately everyone is united, even though he has been an outsider in many ways he is still part of their city and he still cares just as much, if not more, about what has occured over the course of the trip and the siege.
