This story?

Utterly perfect and spot-on.

I love the constant, constant restraint and focus you keep with both of them, always centering it around their duty, always keeping Lulu sharp and slightly aloof, even in passion.

I'll be rereading it first for enjoyment, and second to help me keep my own focus when writing them, to make sure I never soften the edges too much. They have humor -- both of them have a wicked wryness in-game -- but it's at the surface; this story rests on the steel beneath it.

Edit: Plugged on aulu!

Thank you! I've never written them before but the prompt just felt so right. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the plug.

Oh, very nice-- lovely atmosphere you've created here. :)

[intradependency]

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Enjoyed this SO much! Thank you!

[intradependency]

Glad you did so! I loved this one.

This is beautiful, the restraint that binds and binds until it must (temporarily) break. I liked the ending very much, Auron's realisation that he's seen more of himself in Lulu than herself, and the line: "being dead doesn't make you any less of a man."

Thanks. The poetic prompt hit me really hard, I don't think I could've written these two without it.

I literally was not breathing when I finished this. Beautifully written. You have a rare way with words, and it's an incredible gift.

Thank you. :D
