Fics like Observation Period

or, Thad Thawne's 10 Biggest Issues with Impulse Thad's perspective on the time between his introduction and Mercury Falling. The subject smiles. Thad imitates it. He knows without checking that he’s gotten it wrong. He pauses the video on Impulse’s face and lowers his heels to the ground. Thad stares at the line of his jaw and the curve of his nose and the bright yellow of his eyes and tries again to make their expressions as identical as their features. He smiles again, and the muscles in his cheeks pull uncomfortably. His eyebrows furrow. He knows that’s wrong too. He advances the footage. Pauses on another frame. Impulse smiling again. Thad doesn’t understand what there was for him to even smile about. He doesn’t care. The point was that this was a different smile. Thad keeps his lips together and tilts his head a little along with the uneven curve of his mouth. It’s still not right on his face. He runs his fingers through his hair again and plays the footage a few more times.
