Review:
I adore Lord Alan's character in this.  The writing is a little overly simplistic, but I just love this Lord Alan too much to care.  I never gave the character much thought before since he's very much a non-character in the books and in his daughter's life in canon, but here... he's just this awe-inspiring mix of BAMF, speaks his mind and doesn't care what other people think, and kind of psychologically broken but still cares deeply.  This is definitely a favorite character type of mine - I actually went on a serious hunt the other day to find Teen Wolf fics that portrayed Peter Hale like this and didn't find any and now I stumbled across this fic by accident and its awesome :)
