I read this about a week ago and at the time I truly didn't realize how deeply it was going to crawl under my skin. Something in me kind of broke while I was watching COE (it reopened a lot of wounds for me, recent and otherwise) and I've been trying to sort myself out for weeks now. Your fic, with it's brilliant glimpse of Jack's grinding, inexorable, punishing hope, has crawled into that mish-mash on a level with the canon and seems to be helping me sort it all out.
I'm not sure I've made any sense at all here, if I've really given you any clue how much it's affected me. Thank you for writing this.
