I totally saw that volatile Steerpike-ian nature in Brian in the film though, so I think it melds well how you portray him in the fic. He IS volatile. I love how Curt noticed his mood swings. It would be almost tiring to live with that. Only someone deep in love could really handle that kind of behavior. Curt is a saint!

Hurry up and post the next part too :) I can only be so patient! :lol
