OMG, this kills me...and the words!

And there are the losses that slip through like a knife between the ribs: the ones that scar.

hiding his face in the safe and secret darkness of Novak's neck.

"I love you," he says, in Serbian, the language of his heart.

And that just about killed me.

I've only just seen this but sigh. Just...sigh. Your fics always somehow manage to hit the nail dead on the head and you've done it again. Brilliant piece of fiction.
