This fic almost has the feel of sculpture, if that makes sense, like you're carving a Wesley out of all those spaces,

Wow, what a cool way of saying exactly what I was going for. I wrote a list of the times when Wes's family issues really play a big role, and realized each one had to do with a specific person. So I ended up writing about Wesley by writing about other people, which was kind of a roundabout way to go at it, but I'm so glad that worked for you the way I hoped it would.

Thanks!
