Fics like Beware of Brightness

A year ago, probably drunk out of his mind, James would have done something terrible, like launched himself over the counter and wailed on the fucking brat for speaking to him like that. That anger was still there. That shame. Disappointment and disgust and all those things he felt toward his son even though he wasn’t really sure why he felt that way. This year, though. This year, this month, this day, this fucking hour, James just grit his jaw, said, “Yeah, alright,” and walked away. OR: 5 times James Tartt Sr. saw his son light up around other people, and the 1 time he earned that privilege for himself.
