Oh. Wow. Happy birthday to *me*! Thank you so much. What did I ever do to deserve a fic like this? It's gorgeous! You already know how much I love the way you write Yuma, but this is right up there with the Yuletide piece you did last year.
I just adore the voice you have for Ben, how it complicates him. The voice for both actually, your subtle dialogue. So many beautiful pieces that I could c&p, but this part is my favorite:
He loved Dan as the devil loved all his creatures. So pained, so desperate, so raw and perfect as he struggled to overcome all burdens, both those that had been heaped upon him and those he had wrought himself. And why, when there was this love in his heart, was he still the devil? Because he knew. He knew the burdens could not be overthrown. They stayed. One lived with them. One succumbed to them again and again
( ... )
You are so very welcome! It was an absolute treat for me to write it for you...the fannish equivalent of baking and sharing chocolate cake for your birthday! And now I kinda want a slice of cake and a glass of proseco. ;)
I wish that I could be more coherent Oh, honey, no! You give FABulous fback. ***smooches yr cheek*** That line just jumped out at me and I wanted to respond.
It seems like it's been a while since you've posted, just wanted to say that I hope everything's alright with you and yours.
