That was great! I love the back and forth thing they do as they try to get past the haunting memories of Schillinger (aka asshole!); it's sweet how tender and loving Chris is with Toby. My favorite part is where Chris tells himself...

Tonight I am going to do something I have never done in my entire life. I am not going to fuck Toby; I’m going to make love. I never did that with any of my ex wives. Bonnie was the closest, but she didn’t love me the way Toby loves me; she loved what I did for her. I never mix sex with emotion, and I never ever kiss on the mouth. I won’t let anyone get close to me, but Toby’s different.

It's all so heartbreaking and hopeful. Good job! :D

Aww Thank ya so much!
I'm more an artist then writer so I worked very hard on this story. cwitch did an amazing job helping me out with this. I always have these ideas for writing, but never really put them in words. The peeps in the little fandom of ours keep encouraging me to write lol.

For this story, I wanted it as close to the reality of their relationship and Oz as possible, but with heart. I thought having both their POV's would work for my fiction because they both have history with Vern and still struggle with the ugly memories.

I'm so very happy you like my story. Thanks again! :)

*twirls you*

I'm so proud of you for posting this! *flails*

Like nindevotee, I love the "yours, mine, ours" swing in the POV - creating way to see the smaller parts within the bigger picture. Very visual, but I would expect that from you. ;-)

The intimacy in this, sexual and otherwise, is very courageous. I don't think I said that before. For a very first-time writer, it's phenomenal! Yay you!

*Dances right with ya!*

Thanks so much lady candy pants. I wouldn't have finished this without you!

Im happy that both their POV's worked for this fiction.

Believe me I'm just as shocked as how well I was able to write the sexual imtimacy between them.

You dunno how much your comment means to me. * Crying tears of joy!*

You did it! Good for you. For as well as everyone knows this scene, it's amazing how different everyone's interpretations are. It's not an easy scene to write - it's just like you to go for one of the tough ones right off the bat. *g*

I like how you point out how vulnerable Chris is when he puts his faith in Toby - that's not something that people think about that often. They think of him as always being so strong, but to believe in Toby enough to put his faith in him is a huge step for Chris. That's why it's so difficult later when Toby doubts him. You know me, I need the angst, especially in this particular relationship, but now that you've written the sweet stuff, you'll have to work on showing the rest of their complex relationship next time, right? Hee...

I can tell how hard you worked on this story - you put all your heart into it, and that's very important. I'm proud of you. Congratulations.

I had no idea this scene was a challenging one to write. I just know its one of my favorite moments in Oz and my muse kept begging me to write it lol.

Your so right about Chris. He always shows on the outside how tough he is and doesn't give a shut attitude, but inside he has feelings like anyone else.

I will definitely write new subject matter other then sweet stuff. Looks like I will add angst and conflict to my next writing project hehe.

Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It really means alot to me. I think I did pretty well for a person whos so new to writing.

*Hugs right back* :)

Getting a non shipper to read is great. I felt the angst and the courage and skittishness of the entire encounter. Very nice. :)
