That was so good! I kept getting sad that I'd be reaching the end, and then there was still more! Thanks for writing such a long fic. I really liked the "Brideshead Revisited" quote and comparison; "So is Dakin your Sebastian and I your Julia?" is such a pertinent question.
God, I can't believe I forgot to comment. I thought this was absolutely fantastic and so much love it's untrue. I especially love the last part, because you know, domesticity. *Happy sigh* Going in my memories, by the by. :)
I'm new to the fandom (sorry, no THB icons as of yet) and the first few stories I stumbled across were unfortunately immature or the characterisations were just a bit "off." I came here on a rec from rainbowcobweb, and I'm so glad I did. Just the right balance between reality and love, and I particularly enjoy the few obtuse references peppered in, bringing back the spirit of the film.
Also fun to bring back a little Jack Johnson, as we used to listen to it all the time in my dorm when I was in college. Freshman year, ah the memories.
Gosh, that was lovely. Everyone was very on-character, and the whole thing was sweet and romantic without being unbelievably fluffy. Made me wish I was in love too!
Loved it! Am an avid fanfiction reader and only just watched The History Boys today and am thankful i came across your story. The characters were beautifully portrayed and your style of writing really brought them to life.
