Yes, that was a deliberate cliffhanger choice...but I couldn't resist! (Also, though: I am curious what you think of both gifts! I knew James's to Michael from the beginning, but Michael's gift to James was one of those lightbulb!moments, and then I couldn't believe I'd not thought of it earlier...)

I was a bit worried about the ceremony, just because it had to be so perfect. But then we got that lovely article about Sir Ian officiating for Sir Patrick, and, well. Of course they'd ask him. 9And I love him scolding Michael for answering too quickly. <3 ) Which is to say, I am very very glad it all works! It did have to feel right, for them.

The conversation with James's grandmother is one of the two scenes I wrote down first, actually, so yay! I love her interacting with Michael. This is your family now, Michael. Enjoy.

And, aww, yay, you like that bit. I like that one too: it's meant to be a real physical illustration of just how comfortable James is in that moment, how safe he feels, without even having to pause to think about it. So I am glad that comes across! :-)
