This was really beautiful albeit bittersweet and achey. I love the vague quality to the ending, to the whole thing, in a way. Really wonderful &hearts

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the vagueness to it. No one else has really said anything about it, but it was definitely a deliberate effect.

Mmmm, this is beautiful. I love how even though they're not always together, even through bad choices, they're still sort of destined for one another.

[castmeaway]

They totally are, aren't they?
Thanks so much!

This was lovely and melancholy. I choose to view the ending as a hopeful one.

[castmeaway]

Thanks. I think the ending is hopeful too. One way or another, they'll finally get it right.

Thanks for your comment! I'm really glad the back and forth worked for you, I was a little hesitant about it, but I was pleased as well.

I'd like to think that somehow they do work things out, because, come on...*destiny*!

Love for angsty, pining Arthur. So sad but very lovely.

Thanks for sharing.
