That's another thing I thought about, like just slipping in a mention of it, but then it seemed like it would just be glossing over it. Because it's a delicate subject and you don't want to just be like "btw Alison used to cut herself" or something and risk triggering someone without even really explaining the relevance.

Yay! Omg these comment threads are getting ridiculous but I LOVE IT. Do you mind if I friend you? It seems we've reached that point. XD

OH HOLY GOD - I mean he basically just gives Alison a verbal smackdown and plants the idea in her head but because of the way you phrased it, I'm now thinking of a fic where he LITERALLY DIRECTS THEM INTO BED. Where he's just like "right, I am sick of your issues, you need to fuck and work everything out" and they're so freaked and incompetent that they need his help, to reassure them that it's not going to be the end of the world and to make sure they actually GO THROUGH WITH IT. I can just see him sitting there in an armchair in their hotel room with a glass of whiskey or something, being like "for god's sake, Jamie, take her shirt off" and maybe having to come over and do it himself. GUH.

Seriously, so many possibilities.

Thank you for the support!! ♥
