Thank you! I'm really glad that you liked it. I also got very excited when I saw that somebody else liked Welcome to the Punch (SUCH A GOOD MOVIE. And yet barely any fic, humph), so I was very happy to write it. :) (also, YES! I really enjoyed both of them, and need to reread them a few times and flail happily. Precious dysfunctional idiots, I'm so fond of them. <333)
And he is! That's one of the things I like best about his character, really, so I'm glad I carried it across. He honestly seems like the nicest guy in the movie - which is a slightly odd thing to say, considering that his first scene consists of robbing a bank and shooting a guy.
AND YES! I refuse to accept that either one would leave the other. They have a BOND, man. And I do like that difference in their viewpoint throughout the film, so I'm glad that I also got that across. Jake, oddly enough, seems to be a bit more of a positive person - so I think that him going "yeah, we saved each other and are pretty good for each other" does make quite a bit of sense. And of course they're both right - they totally ruined each other's lives, but they're so codependent that they sort of made each other better along the way. And yessssss. I like most of the surrounding people in the movie, so I like mentioning them. (Though it does make me think, sadly, about what Jake's son's reaction would've been to his new stepdad had he lived...)
Thank you again! And I am really glad that you liked it. :D
