I must admit, I'm a bit conflicted about this fic. It's wonderfully written, as usual, and I very much agree with you that this could be the natural progression following the movie. I distinctly remember thinking how weird it was that Ray seemed A-OK with Mary being in love with Hancock and how much that bothered me. So at the same time, I didn't like Mary very much in the movie and I don't like her very much here. I kind of think it has to do with my kinda-sorta threesome squick and how she pushes for it in the fic. I don't know, I just feel bad for Ray, even at the end. So I feel like maybe I'm missing the point of the fic? *hands*

I debated with myself about commenting because I don't want to sound too forward (and please screen or delete if that's the case) or like I didn't like this. I really did enjoy reading it and it made me a bit thinky; thank you for writing it.

Now, see, I think Mary is a terrible missed opportunity. Not that I like her in the movie -- there's nothing to like, really, except that she's clearly in love with both of them. (And that she says to Hancock, "I'm stronger than you. Oh, yeah." I liked that.) But she's kind of not there.

And for that reason, I would love to have a threesome with the three of them -- just, the way the movie sets up the alien anatomy, it would mean vulnerability and eventual death for both Hancock and Mary, which I don't like so much.

Actually, if you have a threesome squick, I'm going to take it as a compliment that there was anything here you liked, since the idea of that impossible threesome pretty much underlies the whole relationship here.

So thanks for reading and writing!
