Reno was always my special boy - RPed him for *years* - and also my catharsis sink during a *really* rough time. He rode in my head the same way Ror and Dan do now, telling me in no uncertain terms exactly what the hell he'd say or do in any given scenario and I BETTER NOT TRY TO CHANGE THAT, OR ELSE. He's still honestly up there; 'Splinter Inside Me' is a very recent fic and his voice is as strong as it ever was.
That said, boy was I a slipshod, melodramatic writer back at this point. I have no problem at all with you poking through them/commenting on old stuff - I posted them here, they're public - just be aware that I hadn't really found my voice at this point as a writer and also that most of my angst over a very rough patch was being vented through some of those stories(particularly 'never fades to grey', ugh)
But yeah - RPing a character for four years tends to make you humanize them quite a bit, especially once you start filling in the absent backstory. I will admit despite that that I do remember, writing this, a moment where I was tempted to make him let go.
