Oh wow I love this!
I really like the prompt you chose to work with and you did it realllllly well.
And the ending is just perfect.
I miss them lol

Thank you! I totally miss them too and I was really happy to be writing them again (and liking it!)

Glad you enjoyed it as well!

I'm too exhausted to leave a proper comment now, but I just wanted to say that this is really a gem. You've hit the angst and the atmosphere notes perfectly. This is Alex/Richard AU (or flash-sideways) as it should be done.

Aw! Thank you! I am so pleased you like it! A comment from you is always very special to me!

Oh hey, amnesia trope done right. As if there was any doubt.

I really like how you handled this. I like how they already were an established thing from the beginning and how you dealt with the gaps in his memory (remembering the lay of the land but not the people). Your description is all just so lovely as always.

He treats her like a child. He asks about her parents. She is still young, after all. She's a woman now, but barely just. Nineteen. And she's certainly more than an age or two younger than Richard. So he treats her as such. She's just one of the many face in the camp.

She's just a kid.

No lover, no woman, no object of desire.

That part really makes me feel for her. It kind of hurts in this really surprising way.

I love this!

Ack! Typo!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked this even though it is lost, haha. This is one of those fics that just sort of fell together in a way that I couldn't have planned. It wrote itself, let's be honest, haha.

Thank you again!

lol, I love when people quote back stuff at me and I notice a typo. Instant proofreading. Although, tbh, I didn't even notice. My brain sees what it wants to see.

I love when fics fall together like that. So much more fun than really having to work for it.

I'd love to see this as a full, drawn out short story with a pay off.
Good job :)

Thank you. :)

If you want to play around with this 'verse you're more than welcome to! I always love seeing more alex/richard fic.
