In my (glacier-slow) quest of catching up with fic in

lifein1973 (another thing I do when I'm at work *g*) I got to

amy_wolf's "No" today. It's an interesting fic that makes the argument that Joni actually raped Sam. I'm not sure I agree, but this is tricky terrain, so I don't think I should be too sure of my own responses. I do have some arguments for my - tentative - view that it probably wasn't rape, though:

( Rape or no rape? )

***

( Farscape and rape )

***

( If it's true that shared pain is lessened, these two really need to meet... )

Perhaps my central ‘trauma’ is growing up, because I seem to identify most with a special kind of sadness caused by a loss of innocence, a loss of freedom. . . it’s present in almost every book or film or series that ever moved me.
So what does it mean? -- Still growing up? Never growing up? Already grown up but regretting it?
Food for thought. . .

On second thought: I was oversimplifying. But it does seem to be a central theme for me. *A*, not the.
