I've been trying to work up the nerve to read "All Good Things" for weeks now, because the first part I read was so searingly good that I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish it and still function :)
Heh. Yeah, it's not one of my happier pieces. You may want to stockpile chocolate and a tissues.
It takes a lot of skill to make the second person work, but it definitely works here.
I normally tend to stay away from second person--it just seems a little over the top for most ficcage, but I was just messing around here. I don't know that I'd attempt it for anything longer.
BTW, what a coincidence--I just finished reading A Modest Proposal late last night. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong side of incoherence then to comment. But I should get around to that now...
