9. What is your favorite dialogue you’ve written so far?
since i did this one for catfic, i'll do it for sadfic this time. i'll put it below a cut because the subject matter is very heavy. trigger warning for discussion of a prior attempted suicide
“Dad took the gun and left the house. He came back just a few minutes later without it. I asked him what he did with it and he said he threw it into the river.” Hawkeye’s voice was ragged and wobbly, barely audible. “I told him, I told him, ‘Dad, that was Mrs. Goldman’s husband’s gun, she’s going to wonder where it went,’ and he just said he’d pay her back for it, he couldn’t stand to have it anyw-” he choked, “–anywhere near us, and burst into tears.” Hawkeye’s mouth worked soundlessly for a moment as the tears finally started to roll down his cheeks. “I never saw my dad cry like that before. Not even when Mom died.”
