Discussion Post: Angst

[ladyprydian.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the first discussion in round 2!

This week we are reading:

Title: Rough Trade
Author: Whisky (whiskyrunner)
Rating: Explicit
Author's Summary: Arthur is an investment banker. He is professional and efficient. He's a halfway decent cook. He's totally independent and has been since the age of eighteen. Maybe he's tired all the time because he works about ninety hours a week which is twice what normal people do, but he's rich and he's competent at his job. He's almost thirty, and already a success.

And there are some things Arthur is not. For instance: Arthur is not gay.

This was the fic chosen for the Angst category.
This is an angsty fic, and deals with some potentially upsetting topics. For the purposes of this discussion I will be assuming that everyone has read the fic and the tags and knows what's up.

I've posted a few questions to get the conversation going. Feel free to post your own, questions, thoughts, etc.
