Fics like In Other Words [February Shocker]

“I don’t-” Gordon nearly gets him again at the middle of his emotionally-charged confession- “Want to go through it again.” “I know.” “Do you?” “I scraped you off the fuckin’ ground, but, no. I guess I don’t...” Which is the truth, to some extent. Gordon had given Ed supports, but between the two, Kelly had become the antagonist. Ed hadn’t accepted the wrong he’d done, beyond what he remembered from his and Kelly’s arguments. Gordon hadn’t understood- nor had Ed –that the breaking of their marriage was a failure on both parts. Over time, his acceptance of his role in it became almost as obsessive as his animosity towards Kelly. And along the way, Ed decided that he didn’t need love. Yet here they both are, Gordon saying “computer, play ABBA’s Take A Chance on Me,” ready to keep scraping Ed up and up until he gets back into a shape he can start feeling proud of, until Gordon has shown has shown Ed just how deserving of it he is. And Ed is reminded of how much he loves this man. [In which Ed is terrified of love, and swordfights Gord a bunch to figure it all out. Other stuff happens too]
