My word. This is just... wow. I don't typically read fics about Turko- because he gets so much canon and fanon screentime that I get sick of him- but I am so grateful I read this one. Amazing.

There's something about it that calls to mind Dawn's Another Man's Cage, but, because of the narrower focus, deeper. Like there are more insights crammed in a smaller space (that would, in fact, make sense, as this is not fifty chapters long).

I love the way you explain his anger, and how you point out that little inconsistency that I've never noticed before, and Turko's voice won me over. Gyah. Nothing at all constructive to say.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thank you very much! I'm very happy you find Turko's voice convincing and I feel flattered by the comparison to Another Man's Cage. Have you also read Dawn's A Town Called Acceptance? I had it in mind, in a background sort of way, when I wrote this piece here, although I feel I haven't approached the subject in the same manner.
