Thank you! It's nice to know I'm not the only one out there who experiences a bit of uncertainty when writing.
I'm curious about you're fic, if you'd like to share? Canon divergences always fascinate me.
Basically the main thing I'm trying to do is lean on the recognisable parts of his character that I can still use, and hope that that keeps the link obvious.
All of these are good ideas! I have FP personally fighting down the impulse to make his usual forward remarks, or doing something ill-mannered and then apologizing. You're definitely right in that recognizability really is the key when it comes to character writing.
