First of all OMGGGGG!!
Second of all, I apologize for how long it's taken me to comment on this. Shame on me because I freaking LOVED it!
I cannot believe how completely plausible this situation seems now. I totally bought every second of it, so major kudos for that.
I love how you go back and forth between them being there and the events that led up to them choosing to go there. That's a really interesting style and I think it made the fic flow really well.
I also love the way you see their relationship progress and see them become closer. This line especially kinda kills me

But it’s not the same for Owen. It’s why he doesn’t need a set deadline, a plan for making a move. There’s nothing waiting for him back there. No one waiting for him.

Mark just has to decide which life he can stand to miss more and for how long.

Because aww Owen! But that's SO true, he really doesn't have anyone waiting for him. And I love that Mark has to decide - that such a good representation of their relationship.
Youuuuuuu are a rockstar. This is going in my memories so I can read it over and over again! :D

I'm behind on commenting as well (I still have something of yours to r/r), so believe me I'm not playing any blame games.

Regarding that style, I've used that once or twice before, probably best in a GA Christmas fic I wrote two or three years ago, and I've always wanted to go back to that. For this it just seemed to fit.

I'm very glad that you liked this! Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
