The Lon Chaney thing was half intentional - I was thinking to send them to either Phantom or the Hunchback of Notre Dame one, then I checked the dates and it couldn't add up since that one is from 1925 (and the other from '23 I think) and I needed to set this earlier because I didn't want it to be too much time since the war ended, so in this case I was meaning another one that didn't include scarred people. But you're totally allowed to imagine that in 1925 they'll totally go see Phantom of the Opera. ;) and don't tempt me now, I've been wanting to write a D/C take on that particular movie for ages (modern adaptations? WHAT ARE MODERN ADAPTATIONS? ;) ) but I've never fallen into the temptation. DON'T MAKE ME.
Aaand cinematic rant aside thanks so much ♥, I'm so glad that you liked it! I had been brewing this thing since BE S1 so yay for the years it took me to write but it's really great to know that the characterizations worked for you and that you found my attempts to make it NOT too grim successful. I guess I just can't do hopeless angst at all costs/can't torture them past a certain point. ;) thanks again! ♥
