she keeps noticing all these things about him being so unnerved
I got the feeling, writing this, that there would be some underlying part of her that suspected him of not telling the truth -- not to the extent that He Is The Spy, but to the extent that She Knows Very Well That, Given The Opportunity, Maybe He Wouldn't Be Able To Resist Getting Rid Of Echo -- but considering how awful everything is, she just can't bear the notion of him lying to her on top of it, so she just obstinately Does Not Acknowledge It. Which felt maybe a little bit like indulgent characterization on my part, but I do think that for such a hardcore HBIC, she is very good at deluding herself about certain things. Addieeee.
And I like how he can get back in Boyd's face about it, but there's nothing really he can say to Sierra and her heartbreaking belief that her friend is coming back.
I love you pointing that out; I hadn't thought of it myself, but that's such an interesting observation!
Adelle coming clean about where she was and what she was doing and Dominic not coming clean about anything.
Something about even reading this sentence made my heart sad. It was difficult to write Dominic doing this to her, on account of how I have the faintest tendency to be the tiniest bit 'omg otp 4everrrrr!' about them (luckily, I am discreet & hide it well), but I think A Spy In The House Of Love really highlights just how much of a hardcore bastard he is when it comes to getting the job done, and it always gets me all 'Aaaughhh, Laurence, you are a scary man!' every time I watch it, and I wanted to explore that. But then maybe also wanted to cry a little bit. In any case, though, it was interesting to turn the tables, "A Spy in the House of Love"-wise -- in the episode itself, he's her victim, whereas here, it's so the other way around.
Again, thank you so much!! ♥ Also: could I friend you, by any chance? D/D solidarity huzzah!
