A Departed Drabble
So I wrote a little tiny fic from Dignam's point-of-view. If you've seen the movie, it references Billy Costigan's SIU interview. If you haven't, it'll just seem weird and sort of vulgar. Profanity abounds.
The Reference
Hawthorne.
It rankled him. Who the fuck pulls Hawthorne out of his ass in the middle of an interview? And the way fucking Costigan said it, just drifting off his lips, dared either of them to ask the inevitable question. Dignam didn’t have to. He knew it was Hawthorne. Trainee probably pulled it from a book of quotations, knowing he could use it in a situation like this one. Dignam actually preferred playwrights – Shakespeare, Arthur Miller, and, naturally, David Mamet. Who needed flowery prose when a simple “Fuck you, cocksucker” would suffice?
Fucking Hawthorne can bite me, he thought, smiling.

(It bookends nicely with the Shakespeare one, don't you think?)

I love your icon! Does it come from that moment when Billy quotes Hawthorne? That's the face I was thinking of when I commented,the WTF one!
