Much better. Extremely minor. Pft. =P

I love this so much. God, Owen. I NEED TO HUG YOU. COME HERE.

OWEN NEEDS LOTS AND LOTS OF HUGS. At least he gets a happy ending?

This is so good! Very moving.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

Oh wow, this is incredible. I love that you used the framework of confession to show Owen working through his emotions and orientation, and the priest at the end deserves a sainthood. I also like the way you talked about Owen and Elizabeth's relationship and how it works; it seems very true-to-life.

Oh, Owen. I want to hug you. Poor guy. I'm glad he's found some acceptance.

Dude, I am way overly fond of this one. I know that's, you know, tacky to be so fond of your own stuff, but I'm really glad you liked it, because I do too.

Owen is... amazing. And the evolution he undergoes throughout his life is just as amazing.

I LOVE THAT LAST PRIEST. Poor Owen, going through all those years thinking he's wrong and sinful.

That last priest is awesome as fuck, right? Just awesome.

This is amazing. the feelings are really strong. I like the framing, and that Owen keeps feeling the need to talk to someone he's not familiar with about this. Fantastic.
