Just reread DJGC (with the epilogue), and here are some of my thoughts that literally nobody asked for...
I wish we got to see more of Abby and Cammie bonding (especially over Matt).
I also wish we got to see more of Abby and Macey bonding (especially over how much Cynthia sucks).
I feel like Ally teased us with Abby/Joe pretty hard in DJGC, it's through Cam's POV so she probably misread the situation (but you know Tina had to be trying to gather intel and was spreading some WILD rumors about these two).
It's not that funny, but it kinda cracks me up thinking of Zach disguising himself as an old man. Crazy eyebrows, an even crazier white wig AND a fake mustache. Cam has to tease him about it in the future. Please.
Zach just jumps out of a moving train with a parachute. No biggie.
"Dad died, and ever since then, you've been a ghost." Has anyone recovered from that? Because I haven't. Nope.
Zach giving Cammie his jacket is just... their whole interaction in that scene is so cute.
"Joe Solomon does not cry." FALSE. He most certainly does and it most certainly makes me cry.
Abby really thought "Why not?" and kissed Joe just to try and snap Rachel out of her denial. "Well, *looks at Rachel* someone had to do it." Exactly what conversations did Abby and Rachel have about Joe that led to this moment???
"Don't be a ghost this time." Aww, my heart...
"She deserves better. She had better." "Matthew's gone." "And whose fault is that?" Screaming, crying, sobbing on the floor. This whole scene.... WRECKS me.
"It's good to hear your voice, Abigail." Joe who? I don't understand, what's Abby/Joe? I've never heard of that. (Headcanon: Tina for sure has the phones at Gallagher bugged and she is 100% experiencing whiplash right now).
"Sloppy of you to get shot, love." This line alone might make the DJGC epilogue my favourite epilogue lmao. It's maybe the most Tabby thing we get in the series and I'm absolute TRASH for it. Like, Townsend calls Abby "love" and that's canon.
I may or may not have written a fic extending their conversation on the phone but it's never seeing the light of day.
