First of all, I'm terribly sad that I somehow managed to miss this and haven't been able to comment until now! Definitely one of my favourite Pete/Stitch stories.
"He told himself he was happy enough; that he liked his own company, and besides people didn’t tend to have many friends when they turned forty-five. Only, sometimes he got cramps which weren’t a symptom of any physical pain but rested inside his bones, and every so often he was flooded with a feeling that he couldn’t describe but was so tangible and sharp that he struggled to stay upright."
This paragraph made me really emotional. I have trouble expressing exactly what it is that had me so choked up, but I'm just stunned at your ability to understand the "rigors of middle age", as concupiscence put it, and that depth of loneliness. I may or may not have actually teared up. We'll blame it on the pregnancy hormones!
The smut was so well-written. I'm glad you decided to keep it in! Sexy, emotional, it fit the tone of the story perfectly.
You're one of my favourite writers, and I can't wait for more from you! (Theeeese Daaaaaays) <3
*Squeaks* Well that's about the nicest thing I've ever heard excuse me while I hide in this cupboard for several days.
We'll blame it on the pregnancy hormones. Mini!Conduit has inherited your good taste in slash fiction, clearly.
I was so worried about the smut and people seem to like it so I'm so pleased. Thank you so very very much. You are a wonderful human being!
And oh God These Days, I've been trying to write this chapter since June and it's one of those times when I know exactly what's supposed to happen, I just can't find the words to get them there! And it's been like four months! I'm so ashamed. I'm hoping that the soundtrack I made for it will soothe the blow somewhat.
