Review:
This is just flat out lovely. This takes Alec and Richard and gives you a snapshot of a moment in their lives that is just about perfect. I love Swordspoint. It's beautiful and tragic and ugh, that book, and this little fic does that gem of a book credit. It sounds so perfectly in line with the words of the book it's like reading from one of the pages--it's that good. It's short and sweet and just rich in details and feelings.
As I said, it's nothing more than a moment in Alec and Richard's lives. Not even a particularly important one, but just them being at home. For all of that it's pretty much perfect. Definitely worth the read.
