Got here through a bunch of links and recs from various people, and the trip has been entirely worth it! What a gorgeous, intricately written story. I had to read it three times just to make sure I got all the wonderful textual patterns and motifs in your composition, because the first read started out with awww!cuteness and then turned into an emotional gut punch. This is a rare fic that reveals more with each reading, and I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying it.

Thank you for writing this remarkable piece. I'll be on the lookout for your other work.
