Oh. This was terrible and painful and wonderful all at the same time.

Ow, painful with the sickness. I like how you kept us in the dark for a while in the beginning, I really was wondering what was going on with those papers.

But what I like most about this is the established relationship aspect. All the little details that show how well they know each other, and how they've had problems but still stick together. &hearts

What hurts Vecchio hurts me, so I kind of hate you a little right now, author. But that just shows what a good job you did selling it.

I know what future I choose to believe in.

[petronelle]

This got me in my heart. Well done and well aimed.

Oh, wow. That packed quite the wallop. o_O And yet the hopeful ending, Fraser's determination that Ray is sick, yes, but not dying - I needed that hope, so thank you ever so much for providing it. &hearts

I liked the use of various POVs; and even though he's not my POV character I think I was most affected by RayV's voice. And the end scene certainly puts a wonderfully neat spin on the morning-after cliche, doesn't it? :D

Yay you! \o/

Oh, and now I know that it's you... oh, Queue. *sniff* &hearts
