Man, when you guessed what was going on, I was half laughing, half crying. I figured someone would pick it up because I WAS laying hints and because of the ending of Softly Tread..., but... yeah. I SO wanted to tell you that you were right. (And certain other times you felt smug- you had the right to, then, too :) )
Dee and Hoshi have already gotten over a lot of their overt animosity, and what they've got left is more the habit of not liking each other than any specific new beefs.
This. Yay! This is exactly what I was going for. One of the things I've been triyng to show too is that Dee's realizing that everyone else sees a very different Hoshi than she does. Lee's respected him for most of the fic, minus that moment in CIC when Hoshi called him out. There are two reasons he never called Hoshi on his shit- partly because he realized it would only give credence to what Hoshi was saying, and partly because he genuinely understood that Hoshi was a damn good officer. She's always seen that Noel has a lot of respect for Hoshi, but she's chalked that up to everyone's got to have friends. But then Felix liked him right off the bat, Helo likes him, she found out about Cain and Belzen (or bits of the story, anyway), there's a section early in the next chapter where it's clear that Ishay really likes him (not a big spoiler, given that he's able to get the morpha off her in the webisodes)... Dee's starting to realize that she's really seen a very specific facet of him, and she doesn't know him at all. And I think he's making a similar revelation, we just aren't seeing it as much yet.
But yeah, it's going to still be a struggle for them. :)
I'm really glad you're enjoying this, and I'm very glad the revelation worked for you, especially since you did guess. Thank you!!!! :)
