Beautiful, sad and desperate, sexy and sweet, comforting and natural. Ryan and Seth did not have sex, they made love, I know that sounds cliche but its true. You wrote it just right. I love Ryan allowing Seth to wash him afterwords, I love Ryan being that relaxed if only for the moment.
You always have to go for the jugular don't you. "He swallows, hearing what Ryan isn't saying, a guide dog. Seth closes his eyes briefly, something catching inside him, something else letting go." You really know how to pull my heart strings.
It is a perfect ending for the chapter. Thank you.

Thanks so much. After everything that happened in the previous chapter, it still, somehow, didn't feel right for everything to fall into place. Even now, it hasn't, not yet. It will take a while, considering everything Ryan is going throug, you know?

I have a thing for sucker punching my readers. I delight myself in it. *g*

Thanks so much, babe. I love this story, and I'm glad people like it as well.

No ghosts without faces, merely state lines and closed eyelids, the distance from where he was and where he is now

I never mentioned this before...But I think that has got to be one of my favorite lines. Because so much characterization is summed up in those few words.

Also?
And it doesn't matter if Ryan's perfect or flawed, of both. All it matters is that Ryan lets Seth love him, and loves him back. He can't ask for more.

Oh, boys! *wibble*

[popmusicjunkie]

oops...also. TYPO!
And it doesn't matter if Ryan's perfect or flawed, of both.
Of = or.
*sigh*
That's totally my bad.

[sdlucly]

God, you know, I love that line too. It say so much, and it fits them so perfectly. *sighs dreamily* *g*

Typo! And we only went over that chapter a zillion times together, don't ya think? *giggles*
