Andiefan 2004-10-20 ch 1,	abuseI liked to see this pivotal moment in DC from Pacey's perspective. You really nailed the underlying angst that Pacey had over Dawson and his emotional hold on Joey. It is also refreshing to see that the fact that Joey MADE Dawson let her go to Pacey was acknowledged (now only if some P/J'shippers would accept that!). I also got the sense too that you addressed some of the future problems that would come. There is a line in there when Pacey talks about sailing away not being the solution and I think that's about right. As the characters were written, it just delayed the breakup of Pacey/Joey by three unreal months - once they arrived back in Capeside harsh reality would hit them. YOu must allow for the fact that I am convinced Pacey never gave Andie a chance again and she was the one for him.
kelcb26 2004-09-27 ch 1,	abuseHave I told you lately that I love you? Have I told you there's no one else above you? Well, if I haven't then please forgive me because I do!! :) I've just had a rough time keeping up with my replies, and I'm SO sorry. I didn't mean to neglect you. I was going to reply at PoTL, but then I figured I keep you company here like you always do for me.:) Ok, so, first, I LOVE Five for Fighting and I adore this song! Excellent choice! And you know what a music geek I am, so this made me giddy! Now, Pacey's thoughts here at first break my heart, even though I know what's coming. I'm always so blown away with how you can get into these characters' heads and bring their thoughts to words so well, and here was no different... "I’d given her one last chance, catching her arm right outside the Leerys’ back porch. Her sad eyes met mine and there was a surge of that power we’d almost had within our grasp, and I think we might have had a shot at fixing it in that moment. But then Dawson had appeared and stood between us as he was always between us, forming the third point of our doomed little triangle. And Joey looked away from me, and the link was broken, and I knew with a dull certainty that she was going to make the wrong choice. It was that trapped look in her eyes—it was the look of a helpless animal of prey that knows it’s been cornered by the predator. I can honestly say in that moment I was closer to hating Dawson than I ever have been before. For putting that look in her eyes. I keep imagining the picture we must have made, the three of us standing together in the Leerys’ backyard, a three-headed knot of pain and resentment and confusion and—damn me for being gullible—hope, in the midst of the happy post-wedding chaos that was a backdrop to our drama. It would have been an interesting scene, to an outsider. To me, it was just hell..." So well-written! And I so wanted to knock Dawson out when he showed up there. The way he spoke to Pace so condescendingly was just...GR! Made. Me. So. Mad. But I digress. "Ask me to stay. I had willed her to do it, and she had given in to Dawson’s emotional blackmail instead. I should sail away from here and lose myself in three months of freedom. Somehow, though, I doubt that’s an option. Somehow, I think that every time I lie down to sleep under the stars you can see so well on the open water, I’ll see her face. No more stalling. I’ve given her enough time, I’ve given her every chance in the world to return my love and do something with that power we can’t deny when we’re together. It’s time to go. I survey my boat and am proud of her, of the sweat and effort I put into restoring her. True Love helped me let go of Andie, and now she would help me do the same with Joey..." Here, I wanted to cry for Pacey. Again, your words are always so powerful. You say a lot without having to say much, if that makes sense? And even though again, I know the outcome, I was still giddy here when she ran to him. You added perfectly to it and the last lines of song you use just tied it together beautifully! Another piece of perfection! Love you! ~Kel~
