If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And if you say "thank you" to all the "looks just like them!" comments, you're deliberately trading on, at best, a misconception.

I didn't dig that far so I took it as not calling out a commenter on being a dumbass. But it sounds like that was too charitable.

In my defense, I was distracted by how quickly the comments devolved into No Homo. Bizarre.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Seriously. Clearly I need to pay more attention to who I'm demanding things of.

I just talked myself out of asking an author why her story had Scott McCall possessed by a gossipy Samantha Jones from Sex and the City, calling Stiles up to breathlessly demand details about new developments in his love life. If it hadn't been by the author of one of my favorite stories in the fandom, I'd have set my keyboard on Burn Bridges and hit the send button.

Matt, you're an Equalizer fan?

Are you thinking of the Equalizer's son? Father? Brother?

I did a buttload of Equalizer stuff before Buffy abducted me.

edit: I've even got someone who writes me occasionally to see if I've got anything else in that verse. I love those people.

But who's named Scott?

The son.

I didn't even realize. Then again, I think of the Equalizer as Edward Woodward, not whatever the character's name actually is.

On a tangent, why doesn't someone do a reboot of that property? It's ripe for another interpretation, and has a great premise.
