There's also this joy in sk’s incredibly claustrophobic feeling settings and scenes, compared/contrasted with these spheres (or spears) of Tommy's global influence or influences coming through, because that, too, is a compelling juxtaposition. Tommy's horrors/hauntings by the man in the shadows (so close, in his house, at his heels, coming into his territory, invading, all the while it's the man [in the constituency] next door) while there's this weight and horror of global war on the horizon. (And I think about: if Mosley *doesn’t* go down, Tommy’s brokering of the IRA, American and Mosley’s connection might have been a very large part of Mosley's success? I mean, talk about a gamble...)

Anyway, I do like writing my fic!Mosley constantly slagging Tommy with the label domestic all while Tommy’s sitting there *seething*

#fics that look at tommy's anger interest me #there's not many and I don't do it much or well either #anger is difficult #anger is one of the things almost better visually because I suppose it's about the action that comes out of it #tommy's deep anger that subsumes and distorts his worldview and his capability to take certain actions (it limits)#but then it also unleashes him from certain socially-culturally bound actions (it enables it motivates)#also the trend/thinking that anger is the most worst deadliest sin probably stifles much exploration of anger as a motivator/theme
