I just got home from a trip and found this--thank you! I agree that you'd have to be able to switch off your emotions to survive the job they do. And Doyle seems to worry about that, doesn't he? In DIAG but also in "The Rack" and various others. He berates others for not showing more emotion at time. And all of that, taken together, I just started thinking what if...? *g* And what's the difference between someone who cares because he cares, and someone who cares because he makes himself care? Or someone who is cool and controlled, because he is, vs. someone who makes himself that way? I don't know, I just find that intriguing. *g*
Partner-worry! Yes! When I first came into fandom I was thrilled to hear about hurt/comfort because that sounded exactly what I had always craved. Only I found out, no, h/c is something different, although partner worry can be involved. What I crave, though, is...one partner worrying/angsting over the other--mostly when the one is in danger, but there can be some quite nice jealousy scenarios as well. *g* And Pros itself--the show--gives us some lovely partner worry moments, going both ways. Hence my obsession. *g*
