Omg, so much love.

Once he lashed an arm out as if reaching for something, nearly tipping himself from the broom, and mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like her name.

Awww, Fiyero. xD And awww Elphie! "tried to ignore the tiny thrill that spread through her" FTW.

When they arrived, she whispered the spell to release the glamour that hid the cave from passersby

Oh dude. :D I love it.

the tone of voice varied between frustration and fear

That's so wonderfully Elphie! And I love how you've split this into his pov then hers then his again etc.

Oh, *Fiyero*. "His heart pounded with surprise and sudden, desperate hope" *dies*

They too were damp from the rain, but she wasn’t going to undress him any further.

xD! I quite adore her and her calmness with the task at hand here. What a good nurse she makes :D

Eighteen months in the Wizard’s service had hardened him, broadened him, sharpened the curves in his arms and shoulders.

That's really awesome and clever. So right :D

She tried to look at him dispassionately, clinically, but the truth was that she’d always felt a strange, unwelcome attraction to him. As bruised and battered as he was now, he was still beautiful, and she was ashamed to feel that familiar, half-forgotten spark under her skin.

Awwwww ELPHIE. *hugs her*

And oh, the touch!

She had never touched a man this way-had never touched anyone this way-and the simple miracle of it took her breath away.

That's *perfect*. ♥ "the simple miracle of it" is *gorgeous*.

And aww at the ending! LAST LINE OF WIN. Okay, I adore this story and you for writing it. It's so clever and *on* and yes :D
