The Triangle: Reasons for Triangle

I totally, TOTALLY love this triangle to death. ... I mean, TOTALLY!! It's got romance, angst, humor, SMEXY SMEX, horror, torture, drama, action... it's got all the elements for a great epic! But, some people have asked me why I'm so totally obsessed. There's actually a couple of reasons why -- and this section answers any questions you might have!

Steve Austin. SQUEE.

... I love him. It's as simple as that.

... maybe not that simple.

There's so much to Steve Austin that barely anybody takes the time to look into him. On the outside, he's known as a man who has no heart, and a "stone cold" persona. He doesn't trust anybody, and at the same time, nobody trusts him. He's a tough son-of-a-bitch with a foul mouth. He could give a rat's ass what others thought of him, and he flips off people who annoy him. He doesn't take crap from anybody, he does things his way -- even if they are against the rules, and has one hell of a fucking temper.

But that's all on the outside. Beyond the foul language, tons of beer cans, and icy glares... there's a heart. A heart encased in concrete, ice, stone - every sort of wall and barrier one can think of. You might think to yourself... why? Why would he need to hide himself from the world? Why does he have to have that kind of personality? What exactly happened in his life to make him the way he is now?

... this is where the fun begins. Inside the soul of Steve Austin lies a broken heart -- a heart that's shattered completely. The shards are spread around and it's so hard to find all of the pieces to put it all back together again. With the death of his first lover and only soulmate, Steve Austin is nothing but a walking mess -- a man without any direction, any will, any soul. It's amazing how he pushes himself to live day by day.

It's because of Steve Austin that I am in 100% totally in love with this triangle. Here's this guy who used to be like everyone else... only a little bit more naive. He was still outspoken and loud, brash and candid, and a bit of a drunk and kinda crazy; however, he used to laugh more, hang out a lot with others, and was so fucking innocent and green, it hurt. Then, after the death of someone he loved, he's broken. He's shattered. He's a dead man still living. He's nothing but a ghost. It's so tragically beautiful. He believes he's dead, but still traits of a personality gone still haunt him. His mind fights his soul; his soul fights his heart; his heart fights his mind. It's a constant battle between his old persona and his new one; he tries to keep the facade up... but sometimes someone comes along and is able to perceive through the translucent veil.

If that's not fic worthy, I don't know what is.
