White Collar Fanfic Rec: The Never We've Been Told Before

Marsha Thomason as Diana
It was a throwaway line, wasn't it? Diana saying in Pulling Strings that she didn't get to go to her prom?

Sometimes the best fics are hung off just such fleeting moments, and frith_in_thorns' recent entry, "The Never We've Been Told Before" is just such an example.

The story details a young Diana Berrigan's experiences in High School as she comes to terms with her homosexuality, first love, and yes, homophobia. It's a touching and bittersweet tale, that offers a glimpse into what may have shaped the strong woman Diana eventually becomes, and one that brought a tear to my eye (though if you know me, you know how easy that is!). I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Rated PG, and if you have sensitivities about homophobia, I will warn about that.

Kind of curious how this Matt has the scene with Marsha in the van and they have a serious discussion, which leads to this fanfic, and Saturday Matt officially announces his sexuality. I'm proud of him and what he has accomplished.
