More soon, and I promise actual coherent thoughts, too. This is amazing. :)

I knew it was you from the title onward, and it was an utter delight to find! I still owe you real feedback but I just wanted to let you know how much it means to me that you did this. ♥

You are so welcome! You were a joy to write for, even though this is in no way my usual pairing, as you know! :D I'm delighted you enjoyed it, seriously. ♥

That Billy's musical aspirations is a secret shared only with Elijah is a very telling detail; reflects a different kind of intimacy that is quite deftly brought forth in the entire piece.

not because he’s got that much more tact than Dom, but because there just aren’t that many secrets left among the three of them, and what he had left he intended to keep
This hits such a great note for me. This is put together so well; such a great story.

Thank you so very much! This was a little challenge for me, but in the end such a joy to write, and I'm so pleased that it works!

This was divinely written, a wonderful exploration of character and relationship. Every line resonated.

We’ve already got a Health and Safety man, and he’s watching out for you, not the rest of us, ‘cos you’re the one most likely to need it.

even looking ready to crawl his way home reeking of sweat and lager can sober up in two ticks and slap or smirk Dom out of trouble and into--well, evidence suggests it’s mostly into bed, be it Dom’s own or--someone else’s.

When there’s a we, there’s sometimes a way, and Elijah thinks it might be nice at some point in this trip to maybe get his.

"You’re the most perfect thing," Billy had slurred sweetly in Elijah’s ear then. "And what you’re seeing’s not what you want."

"You and Dom are the only people I know who can flatter and fuck someone up at the same time, Bill."

I really should stop, because I had most of the text highlighted.

A lovely reunion and exploration. I have an idea of who you are, mainly because of this Bill. We shall see. :)

How lovely of you to pick out some of those lines; they're some of my favourites, too! Thank you so much for this; I'm thrilled you enjoyed it, and not at ALL surprised you had an idea it might be me who'd written it. :)

Oh, it's been so long since I've read anything like this. Just wonderful. Elijah/Billy is my secret OTP. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

Thank you! It was a wonderful time to write about; as soon as I received the prompt, I knew I wanted to go in that direction. :)
