Micro, macro, or paragraph-at-a-time... always a post from you is celebration time at Casa Law-Nerd.
Among the many things I enjoy about this story (and your writing in general) is that you don't gloss over the differences between your characters. They're human, they have faults, and while sometimes they adapt, more often they consciously decide to accept each other as they are - and that's pretty much the essence of love between adults.
Fantasy, wish fulfillment is nice at times, though rather like cotton candy - not something one could, or would want to attempt to, live off on a regular basis. The relationships you write are complex, and rarely easy, but that brings your writing as close to truth as fiction gets. In this there is sustenance, for mind and spirit if not body. I've lost count of the number of times I've read IAR, sometimes as comfort food, flavourful and reassuring; other times seeking fine dining or (more than) a hint of spice.
As always, thank you.
(Umm... and desert? Nigel was both perfectly Nigel and truly awesome in this - gotta love the practical folk!)
You're too kind. And if, in this silly world of ours, I've given you even five minutes of happiness, I am truly overwhelmed. I'll say more personally, but out here? You're the reason I write. Thank you, always, more than I could ever really possibly express.
