Sentinels by Castalia
Just because I haven't posted a rec, or even about Prosfic for ages (or at least that's how it feels, not counting over at Reading Room) - I was sorting out my google docs and found
a list of older lads fic I'd collated for Palelyoitering.com (gosh, which really needs updating now that marking's over, doesn't it...) Anyway - I flicked down and clicked on
Sentinels, and loved it all over again...
It's rather a comfort story, somehow without the hurt being too close, but it's more than that too, because it's an understanding story, one of my favourites where it's done so simply, without belabouring, and I love them both all the better for it...
*sighs happily for Castalia fic*
