something i just have to come here to say is that while watching bly i am always so distracted by victoria's beautiful perfect face that especially on my first watch, but even now, it's hard for me to pull my attention from dani. but something that your fics give me is the simple opportunity to be immersed in jamie, in the perfect wall she's built up just to let down for dani ah!! so much is going on in jamie's head throughout bly and i feel let into her secret little world through your writing
This is an incredibly lovely sentiment. I definitely was also guilty of watching Pedretti more closely on the first watch than anyone else--I’d already been prepared to love her performance, but it was so different from Nell, she was impossible to look away from. But Jamie, more and more on every watch, is the character that makes the most sense to me. I’m sure if I ever sat down with AE and had a chat about her version vs. mine, they’d be two very different women--I draw as much as I can from her performance and the narrative of the show, but every character I write is ultimately colored and changed until they’re a unique variant living inside my head--but I love the idea that reading my version has given you some insight you might not otherwise have had. She’s a deeply complex character, and I have such an endless affection for both the canon version AE created and the one I can’t help giving voice to in my own stories.
