Oh wow, this is just so gorgeous. I loved it.

I would add it to memories if I knew where the link was, lmfao. ♥

Thank you, I really appreciate the lovely comment. ♥

As I said in the other entry, I fixed the layout. :)

[casi_casi]

I'm sorry! I couldn't help it, angsty plotbunnies were the only things I was getting.

Thank you for the lovely comment - I'm glad you liked the fic despite the angst! :)

[casi_casi]

Aw, well thanks!

Angstville, huh? I shall try writing some happier stuff just for you then, perhaps!

Oh MAN.
You've brought so many real, painful, responsible issues up...

this is the first David/David fic I've read, and while I don't really know much about either, after reading this, I feel like I know Villa already.

You are a man in a child's world, clinging to frivolity and absent morals as though you can get away with it, when, increasingly, you realise that you can't.
Very true (and a beautifully crafted sentence too, might I add), I think that's what everyone is truly scared of really, the fact that you aren't free to be a child anymore, that one has adult responsibilities, you have people depending on you, and sometimes you don't feel ready for it. but you just have to deal with it.

Your writing, as usual is impeccable, and so so... i can't even describe it, I feel like I am him, which is your point and purpose I think, so well done

Ah, thank you so much for that beautiful comment! And I'm especially grateful that you took a chance on this, even though you don't really do David/David, I really appreciate it. :)

Thanks a lot for the comments on the writing itself, that's really very kind of you. And I'm glad you understood what I was trying to say about responsibility and not being able to live a careless, hedonistic life forever. And I'm happy that you liked the ending - of course he has to choose his daughter.

I feel like I am him
Asjkhfdsdsfsgs! This is honestly the best thing you could possibly have said to me. Thanks so much, gosh, that's so wonderful to hear.

And oh, I would love it if you'd read the other fic. :)

[oh_so_blase]

Thank you so much for that comment, and for adding it to your memories. :) I really appreciate it, and I'm really glad you read it.

*sniffles* Oh God. I don't really know what you're giving me credit for because I really can't remember doing anything other than nudging you to write more, which is what I always do and therefore nothing special, but OMG, this is exactly what I thought of when I read "Naivety". Villa might come across as uninterested and cold and even cruel to Silva, but he's not doing it on purpose, and by rejecting Silva all the time, he's just as cruel to him as he is to himself, hoping (in vain) that this pull he feels towards Silva will weaken and vanish if he resists it long enough. Of course, it would be a lot less painful for Silva if he knew why Villa is doing it, but Villa can't tell him, otherwise he would have told him everything and be in an even bigger mess. Ah, the tragedy of being married to someone and fancying the pants off someone else.

*adds to memories*

Oh, your comment is so lovely. Thank you, I appreciate it so much. You've written everything that I was trying to say, and it's so reassuring to know that you felt what I was hoping you would. All the stuff about not being able to tell Silva (as much as he wants to), and hoping that their bond will weaken - that's exactly what I was going for, so thank you for mentioning all that. :)

And of course I have to give you credit! If it weren't for you, this wouldn't have been written at all. And you're the one who outlined along which path the story could go - the idea of responsibility and family forcing Villa to ignore his feelings for Silva - so I definitely owe you many thanks when it comes to this fic.

Ah, the tragedy of being married to someone and fancying the pants off someone else.
Indeed. It's a tricky idea which isn't often explored in fic, but I guess it was unavoidable here.

Thanks again for that wonderful feedback, it means a lot.
