#if it was just one thing (either broken bones or drugging) sahota would probably still manage an escape tbh

AAAAGGGJHHH THE LATEST PROMPT IM GONNA BAWL

Is it canon I want it to be canon so bad I need them to meet again and begin repairing their relationship and it's messy and not always perfect but they'll still be there for each other after they couldn't be and they'll enjoy the moments TOGETHER😭😭😭😭😭 doing this right after the reveal that Wes is being taken away after the meeting I just can't-🥺🥺🥺

On an analytical note I have always found it so interesting that, in the comic and largely in discussions of him, Dan Melchior is referred to exclusively by his last name. He only goes by his first name in prose following him...AND WEHN WES COMES BACK IN WESCUE DO YOY SEE WHAT I AM GETTING AT BECAUSE I DO NOT THINK I DO. (side note Wes calling him Danny....the world could still be beautiful.........)

Back on track, this was a very important and appreciated break from the cycle of T$$ hurt and comfort, but I cannot wait to see how Sahota reacts to comfort from the team especially after the drugging and giving out his uncharacteristically extended hope of rescue.

Thank you for your services🫡 (⌚anon)

AHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH

you know I love your analyses 😭😭♥️♥️

The Mel/Wes snippet is canon! It's just a quick moment that wouldn't really fit in the comic, so more of a behind the scenes thing :)

Dan/Mel and Wes used to be close. When they first joined the Riot Kings, Dan wasn't well known at all, and it was only after he made a name for himself that everyone (including other Riot Kings) started calling him Melchior. Wes is the only one who still calls him Dan (which is kinda like a stake in the heart post-betrayal)

As for Sahota, it's been fun breaking him down in a new way 🥰. When he's been taken in the past, it's usually by people who underestimate his tenacity. These guys aren't taking any chances (and they're not done with him yet)
