No Takebacks

There's also, in fic often, the idea that Lee wants to talk about relationship issues and analyze things. And while sometimes in canon he does ask Kara to talk (Home, Scar), more often he refuses to talk about things, just bottles up or turns away.

**raises hand** Guilty as charged! Here's where it comes from, for me.

Kara has a handful of friends, or at least people she's connected to emotionally. She knew them from before the end of the worlds, or she made a positive emotional connection to them at some point during the series, and so is able to let them inside a little bit.

Lee never had that. He kidded with a few people. He had something with Dee, but it was certainly did not have the depth that his relationship with Kara had. So, I want him to be able to talk to someone, to sort through the emotional whatever of what all is going on, and the only person it makes any kind of sense for him to turn to is... Kara. So in my head, he wants to talk to her about his feeeeeelings.

**blush**

Anyways, mostly this just is to reinforce kag523's assertion that we writers tend to make our characters somehow extensions of ourselves. For better or worse.
