The temperatures didn't change much as Fall rolled into Winter, but Sean thought it had never been so bitter.
What a great line.

That whole scene with Viggo watching Sean and not quite getting up the courage to go inside the Hook and Crook is heartrending. It's a good thing he does go in, even if he does wait until Sean leaves. And thank goodness that Sean chose that day to leave the note and bracelet for him, since Viggo had no plans to come back again! ...I love that Sean's sent more than one letter, too, regardless of the fact that Viggo's only read the one.

Sean stepped close and took both of Viggo's hands in his own, feeling the warmth of his skin and the coolness of the silver.
I love that contrast, I really do.

I don't think I'm going to spend a lot of time bonding with my new father in law.
*G* And that made me grin, despite the fact that Sean doesn't get along with his father, because I love the implicit idea that they're not just going to be together as lovers/boyfriends, but more than that. ♥

This is a really lovely AU, and sets up the beginning of what feels like a really loving, really solid relationship. Thank you so, so much for writing it for me! I really enjoyed it! ♥

You spoil me...you know how much I love comments about specific phrases. Thank you!

Sean was leaving the box and note for whenever Viggo came back in since he knew he turned up in St Thomas every week. He didn't think he'd come back to the H&C any time soon - not after he didn't come that day.

(Don't you love the tag: " [Cruise Ship Engineer AU]". Seriously...do you think that will ever be re-used? *g*)

Thanks you again for all the very generous feedback. This wasn't my best by any means but I am so glad it gave you some smiles!
